Chapter 864: It Was You Who Gave Up!
Jian Dan walked ahead, with Zheng Chengcheng trailing behind her, feeling as if a thousand troops were thundering through her heart at this moment.
Following Jian Dan into the training camp’s office, which New E Media had not prepared, Jian Dan sat down straight away in the office chair behind the desk, her eyes fixed steadily on Zheng Chengcheng, who didn’t dare to look up.
After a long silence, neither had spoken.
“Since you’re not speaking, I guess I’ll have to do it for you,” Jian Dan said slowly.
Upon hearing Jian Dan’s words, Zheng Chengcheng suddenly looked up and met Jian Dan’s eyes.
In that moment, Jian Dan’s eyes contained nothing but quiet indifference.
Zheng Chengcheng’s slim hope completely crumbled at that moment.
“You know where you went last night!” Jian Dan continued.
Zheng Chengcheng’s hands clasped together, rubbing against each other incessantly, her legs pressed tightly together, and her teeth subconsciously biting her lower lip.
“Everyone has the right to choose their own path, but I cannot condone the one you’ve taken!” Jian Dan’s tone was devoid of any emotion at that moment.
Even Zheng Chengcheng was startled by Jian Dan at this moment, because Jian Dan was usually carefree at the company, not too concerned about anything.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I…”
“You haven’t wronged me, but you’ve let down my expectations of you!
I think you should know that among the five of them, your conditions were the worst!” Jian Dan spoke without a hint of mercy, “Yet I chose you to fill that last spot. Do you know why?”
This was a question Zheng Chengcheng had been pondering too.
“Because I’ve always felt that show business never lacked good-looking or talented people, but hardly anyone is truly committed. Even though you lack talent, you have a resilience that others do not, so I thought you could make a place for yourself in show business. But… you’ve disappointed me!
You didn’t choose to take it slow and steady, like many others, you chose the shortcut!” Once someone crossed Jian Dan’s line, she wouldn’t give them another chance.
After hearing Jian Dan’s words, Zheng Chengcheng burst into tears.
She deeply regretted her decision, a decision she had struggled with for a long time, but in the end, she still chose to go because she knew that with her conditions, if no one was willing to help her, she could not succeed.
She also knew that once she took that step, there was no turning back.
Jian Dan watched Zheng Chengcheng, teary like a pear flower drenched in rain, but felt no ripples inside her heart.
Because everyone must be responsible for their choices.
Jian Dan placed a document in front of Zheng Chengcheng, “Sign it.”
Zheng Chengcheng was stunned when she saw the words on the document.
Because it was a termination contract.
She thought at most her current opportunity would be withdrawn, but she didn’t expect…
“President Jian, I was wrong, truly wrong. Please, give me another chance,” Zheng Chengcheng was now completely desperate.
Struggling so hard to reach where she was today, if she were to terminate the contract with New E Media, she would really be left with nothing.
“I truly made a mistake. Please give me one more chance! I beg you,” Zheng Chengcheng had completely abandoned her pride, kneeling and begging before Jian Dan.
“I’m very sorry!” Jian Dan was not moved by her gesture.
Jian Dan was the kind of person who would not easily change her decisions once made.
“New E Media won’t keep you any longer. The most I can do now is retain your spot in this competition. What happens in the future depends on you!” That was the biggest concession Jian Dan could make.
Zheng Chengcheng looked at the termination contract and was reluctant to sign.
“You should know that even if you don’t sign, New E Media still has the right to terminate the contract unilaterally!”
Zheng Chengcheng thought for a moment, then lifted her head, “President Jian, will you really preserve my spot?” If the termination was inevitable, this was her only chance!
“Alright! I’ll sign!” Zheng Chengcheng’s hand trembled as she signed her name on the document.
Jian Dan took the signed document back, looked up at Zheng Chengcheng, “From today, you are no longer with New E Media. You may leave~”
Zheng Chengcheng left the office.
