Chapter 455 - Kindness Chapter 455 – Kindness

The manager also understood that Lin Zihan was popular once again, his hands could go soft from counting money if he hung on to Lin Zihan. He absolutely could not terminate Lin Zihan’s contract now. How else would he earn so much money? At the thought of this, the manager knelt on the ground and begged,

“Zihan, I beg you. Forgive me, okay?”

Su Jin frowned when she saw how shameless this manager was. As expected of someone who had been in the entertainment industry for years, he shamelessly knelt in public so he could earn more money, forgoing all dignity.

When the executives and shareholders saw this, disdain appeared on their faces. Didn’t this manager cut all ties with Lin Zihan at the press conference? But now he’s shamelessly begging for forgiveness. They mocked,

“I wonder which shameless person at the press conference threw friendship out the window and insisted on terminating Lin Zihan’s contract?”

“Exactly. Regret is useless in this world. If you knew this was the outcome, would you have done what you did? You deserve to be fired! You’d better be smart; don’t make us call security to throw you out!”

Lin Zihan looked at his manager who was kneeling on the ground and felt some sympathy for him. But when he thought about what this manager, whom he regarded as a friend and a brother, did at the press conference, he shook his head and helped his manager up as he said coldly,

“Since you’ve been with me for so many years and I treat you as a friend, I will give you severance payment of 300,000 yuan. Sign the agreement now and I’ll give you the money. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not treating you as a friend. Not only will I not give you any money, but I’ll also ask security to…”

Before Lin Zihan could finish, his manager had stood up. The manager knew that no matter what he did now, Lin Zihan would never forgive him. He picked up the agreement and signed it as he said with a smile,

“Zihan, I got it. You don’t have to say more. I’m signing it. You’re still angry. I’ll call you when you feel better. Thank you!”

After taking the check, the manager’s face showed satisfaction as he turned and left. Su Jin waited until the manager left the room before she looked at Lin Zihan and asked in confusion,

“You could have just fired him. Why did you give him so much money?”

Lin Zihan smiled bitterly when he heard this. No matter what, his manager had been with him for so long and has done his job. He also didn’t abandon him at the beginning of the crisis, so he said sentimentally,

“I have always treated him as a brother even though he did not treat me as a friend. I did not want to make things difficult for him on account of our friendship. I also don’t want him to have a difficult future!”

Su Jin nodded her head in admiration. As expected, she did not misjudge Lin Zihan. He still spared a thought for others at a time like this. He’s of good character. She stood up and patted Lin Zihan as she said,

“Lin Zihan, you are really too kind. If you can’t bear to part with him, he can continue to be your manager. I don’t have any objections, really!”

Lin Zihan was very grateful when he heard Su Jin’s words. But he had never thought of letting that manager come back because he’s found a better one. He looked at Su Jin and said sincerely,

“Forget it. I think you’re better, so I only want you to be my manager.”

Su Jin smiled slightly when she heard this. She supported Lin Zihan so fervently not because she wanted to be Lin Zihan’s manager, and certainly not to make Lin Zihan popular again. She replied with a smile,

“I’m sorry. Right now, I want you to be a good general manager. Since we are talking about this, you should take on the appointment now so I can hand over Mango Entertainment to you!”

Lin Zihan was speechless when he heard this. The executives and shareholders who followed them in were a little unhappy. Lin Zihan was just an actor, how could he be the general manager? They immediately said one after another,

“Chairwoman Su, are you sure you want to do this? Let Lin Zihan be the general manager?”

Su Jin glanced at the executives and shareholders. This matter had already been agreed upon in the conference room, how could she back out now? Of course, she had thought it through. She nodded and said to the crowd,

“Yes, and I’ve thought it through!”

The executives and shareholders looked displeased when they heard this, especially since Lin Zihan had regained his popularity. Wouldn’t it be a waste of resources if he just become the general manager? They all said,

“Now that Lin Zihan is so popular with many endorsements and film contracts waiting to be signed, how are we going to deal with these contracts if he becomes the general manager?”
