At this moment, at the headquarters of Tangren Media in Shanghai.

Tangren's boss, Cai Yinong, sat in a chair with a gloomy and uncertain expression.

Opposite her was Lin Yufen, who looked completely at ease.

"Ah Fen, what you're doing is really unfair!"

After a long silence, Cai Yinong could only utter this sentence, which exhausted all the affection they had shared in the past.

"We thought we could talk!"

"But why did you leave? Fine, you left, but you also poached so many key personnel from the grassroots level. Lin Yufen, did Tangren do something to wrong you?!"

Cai Yinong spoke these words with such force that even the staff outside the office could faintly hear her roar.

But seeing Cai Yinong like this only strengthened Lin Yufen's resolve to make her choice.

Staying with Tangren Media, she was always just a backup option.

Tangren was always a makeshift organization, and people rose to power entirely based on personal relationships.

She just waited and watched, without saying a word.

Only after Cai Yinong's breathing had calmed down a bit did he speak, "Chairman Cai, Tangren has indeed treated me very well."

"But you know, I've been an assistant director at Tangren for so many years, and I've never had the opportunity to direct independently."

"I'm a person too. I don't want to see year after year pass and I still not get the promise you made..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cai Yinong interrupted impatiently, "Didn't we agree that the next one would be yours?!"

Lin Yufen, who was interrupted, was not displeased; only calmness remained.

"Yes, but it's just a movie."

"From a business perspective, someone offered a higher price, so I went for it."

"I've already paid back what I owed Tangren, otherwise the official announcement wouldn't have been made now but three months ago."

Even Cai Yinong was speechless after hearing this.

Whether from an emotional or career development perspective, she had no reason to stop him.

But why does her chest feel so tight?

Cai Yinong was silent for a moment, then finally said, "Then tell me, what about the others?"

"People strive for higher positions, water flows downhill, Mr. Cai, you surely understand this principle, don't you?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Yinong laughed in anger.

A person should strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill!

Standing up, Cai Yinong said to Lin Yufen, "Since Director Lin has unilaterally breached the contract and signed with another company, Tangren is a small and insignificant company, so we won't keep Director Lin."

"I have other matters to attend to, Director Lin, please proceed."

After saying that, Cai Yinong extended her hand, gesturing for him to enter.

Seeing this, Lin Yufen shook her head with a wry smile.

But without saying anything, he turned to leave.

At this point, Cai Yinong added, "By the way, please have your company transfer the penalty for breach of contract within the stipulated time, otherwise I will protect my legal rights in accordance with the law."

"The penalty fee should arrive once I leave the gate. Tell the finance department to check it."

"Also, this doesn't just belong to me, it belongs to all of us."

After saying this, Lin Yufen left the office she used to be able to come and go freely without any lingering feelings.

After she left, looking at the empty office, Cai Yinong suddenly laughed.

"ha……"

"Ha ha……"

"They're all a bunch of ungrateful wretches!"

Cai Yinong was so angry that she pushed everything off her desk, and the ping-pong balls fell to the ground.

Hearing the noise, the assistant outside rushed in, but was scolded and sent away by Cai Yinong.

But he was called in again a short while later.

"Go, find out exactly what kind of drama 'Starry Night' has been approved for. I'm going to do everything in my power to stop it!"

Lin Yufen, who had already changed jobs, and her employees had been compensated according to the contract, so she couldn't find anything wrong with them.

However, this does not mean that Cai Yinong can swallow this insult.

If this matter is not resolved, what will become of Cai Yinong's authority?

Do they even care about Tangren's reputation in the entertainment industry?

After her assistant left, looking at the messy office, Cai Yinong gave a bitter smile.

Just then, the phone on the table rang.

This made her heart skip a beat.

"President Cai, Brother Hu has arrived at the company, and Shishi came with him."

"When I joined the company, I happened to run into Director Lin, and they talked for a while."

Cai Yinong rubbed her forehead in pain and replied, "I understand. Take them to the spare meeting room. I'll wait for them there."

After saying that, Cai Yinong hung up the phone.

I sighed inwardly, "What a turbulent time..."

Liu Shishi wasn't worried. She had just become popular through "Scarlet Heart" and shouldn't encounter any trouble.

But Hugo is different. In two more years, his contract will be ten years old, and his ideas and self-positioning are different from those of the company.

Most importantly, Tangren lacks film resources, which is a major weakness.

Thinking of this, Cai Yinong couldn't help but recall Lin Yufen's departure.

Even though it's hard to admit, the fact is that Tangren is now unable to retain its employees.

The lack of film and television resources made it difficult for her to make a living.

At this moment, Cai Yinong only felt a wave of exhaustion...

At the front desk, while the customer service representative was reporting to Cai Yinong, Lin Yufen had already started talking to Hu Ge and Liu Shishi.

"Sister Lin, are you really leaving?"

Liu Shishi felt a little bad. She had signed with Tangren Media not very early, but it had been five or six years.

It can be said that everyone in the company watched her grow from a freshman in college to the well-known actress she is today.

Now, Lin Yufen, one of the company's pillars, has left for another job, which makes Liu Shishi, who has not yet had any other thoughts, feel uneasy.

However, the outcome of the matter did not change because of her.

"Yes, it's time to go!"

"There's no place for me at Tangren now..."

Lin Yufen spoke with emotion.

Let's not talk about this anymore.

"I didn't expect you to come before I left, and I didn't prepare any farewell gifts for you."

"Then let me tell you some heartfelt words."

"Shishi, you've just become famous, so there's no rush. But you also need to think about what to do after you turn thirty. Right now, focus on consolidating your popularity, taking on more high-quality dramas, and don't get into a relationship..."

"Old Hu, it's time for you to make a transition. You can mention it to Sister K, but you'll most likely still be asked to mentor new people. Don't refuse, mentor them first and then make your own decision."

Having said all that, Lin Yufen ultimately couldn't say anything more.

He simply shook hands with Hu Ge, then hugged Liu Shishi, and then made a graceful exit.

This made both of them feel very uncomfortable.

After calming himself down, Hu Ge said to Liu Shishi, "Let's go, Sister K is still waiting for us."

"Don't say anything else after you go up there, remember that."

After saying that, Hu Ge led Liu Shishi upstairs.

Many years from now, when countless people are researching this day, they will say that this day marked the beginning of the disintegration of the Tang Dynasty.

With the departure of the core team, Hu Ge remained steadfast in his belief in transformation, and Liu Shishi soon met her other half.
