Chapter 149 - 102 He Jing’s Awakening_3
I was already planning to give up and look for other ways when Ning Baojun came out and directly sent me 370,000 over two nights...
After I withdrew the money, I borrowed another 150,000 from my credit card just to make it enough..."
Hearing her explanation, Gu Heng snorted with a laugh, "I don’t believe for a second you don’t know what Ning Baojun is thinking. Would someone give you hundreds of thousands for no reason?"
With Gu Heng’s disdainful snort, the bitterness on He Jing’s face became even more intense...
"I know...
Actually, he made it very clear to me afterward. If it were any other time, I would definitely have returned my share to him. But after I paid the down payment, I really had no money left. I could only placate him, saying the money was a loan and I’d pay him back when I had the funds. After that, I stopped dealing with him..." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
I just didn’t expect that right after the New Year, he would come rushing over..."
Listening to He Jing’s words, Gu Heng furrowed his brow and continued to ask, "That’s not right, didn’t you say you had enough for the down payment last time?"
"I did have enough. I always get a year-end bonus at the end of each year. Zhang Yang told me earlier that my bonus would be 300,000 this year, and I counted that in...
But after I scheduled everything with the bank for the mortgage, he told me that the advertiser’s payment had not come through and that my bonus would be delayed..."
And then this whole series of events happened..."
Hearing He Jing’s complaints, Lin Jiayun frowned and said, "That’s not right. We all received our year-end bonus. Although it’s not as much as yours, when added up, it’s definitely more than 300,000. How come everyone else got theirs and you didn’t?"
"It’s because my contract is up for renewal. My profit-sharing ratio with the company has always been 3 to 7. This time I requested a 55% share, and they weren’t happy about it.
So, I decided not to renew and am planning to sign with another MCN. That’s why they are holding back my earnings.
That’s still one of the better outcomes. I guess the next step will be for them to sue me."
Lin Jiayun: "Isn’t that just disgusting?"
He Jing smiled, "Disgusting? When you think about it, it’s not so bad actually. After all, I chose this job.
I thought that after all these years of making a good amount of money for the company, even if we couldn’t renew the contract, we could part on good terms. But you saw what happened today, how Ning Baojun made a scene at the company; did they show any intention to protect me?
They even suggested that I go accompany Ning Baojun.
Previously, my friends all advised me to get a respectable job, saying that this industry was utterly rotten. I didn’t believe them, thinking that as long as I held onto my bottom line, the environment wouldn’t affect me. It was only today that I realized it was all just wishful thinking...
In such a rubbish circle, it’s simply impossible to make money while standing tall.
I plan to leave the industry after my contract expires. A university classmate of mine started a company and invited me to do planning work there. I can make twelve to twenty thousand a month, which is just enough to scrape by for my mortgage."
Listening to He Jing’s words, Gu Heng gave her a somewhat surprised look.
Skeptically asking, "With your current popularity, couldn’t you earn more than a hundred thousand a month just from small advertisements?
Are you willing to give up that income to become a planner?"
It’s easy to move from frugality to extravagance, but hard to return to frugality from extravagance.
Gu Heng had a hard time believing what He Jing was saying...
"I’ve already achieved my initial goal of earning money, a down payment of 50% to buy a house in Hang City.
Why should I continue to debase myself?"
Hearing He Jing’s rhetorical question, Gu Heng paused...
It seemed he had come to view all women in the world like Lin Jiayun...
