CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: ONE SHOULD NOT BE TOO SHAMELESS

What should I do? What should I do?

She had forgotten about the issue of Xiaoxuan’s treatment and surgery expenses, and now that Lu Jinyang is not around, what should she do?

Right!

The compensation owed to her by Xinghai Studio has not yet been credited to her account!

With this in her mind, Zhuang Shuqing left the pantry, intending to ask her supervisor for a leave to demand money from Xinghai Studio.

As she left, someone came out from behind the curtains on the balcony.

"Zhuang Shuqing, you actually had a secret marriage! And you have a child!"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her retreating figure with a sinister smile on her face, thinking it was perfect. If there was any good news in the future that she couldn’t have, she could use these matters to blackmail her.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Shuqing, who was preoccupied with thoughts of the compensation, was completely unaware of Lin Xiaoxiao’s intentions.

The leave request was approved quickly, and Zhuang Shuqing expressed her gratitude repeatedly before rushing to Xinghai Studio.

The receptionist was quite surprised to see her.

"Shuqing, why did you come here?"

"Is Li Nian here?"

"Yes, but... Ah, wait a moment~" The receptionist watched her retreating figure dumbfounded, she hadn’t yet informed her that the boss was discussing something with Editor-in-chief Li.

"Editor-in-chief Li, you..."

As she opened the door, Zhuang Shuqing did not finish her words when she saw two people sitting inside, one was Li Nian and the other was unfamiliar.

She softly coughed, "Sorry, I didn’t know there were guests. But Editor-in-chief Li, when can the studio pay me the money you owe?"

Seeing Zhuang Shuqing, Li Nian internally cursed his luck.

Why did Zhuang Shuqing have to come at this time? The boss was just discussing the compensation issue with him, and he had just covered it up, but the person concerned shows up before the matter was settled.

"Li Nian, you better explain to me why my studio owes her money." The man Zhuang Shuqing didn’t recognize leaned on the sofa and opened his mouth calmly.

Li Nian immediately looked distressed, "Boss, she is Zhuang Shuqing."

"Oh?"

The man looked over, and Zhuang Shuqing looked back at the same time. The man was quite handsome with an artsy vibe; compared to the cold demeanor and charisma of Lu Jinyang, he seemed more amiable.

However, the moment he started speaking, Zhuang Shuqing knew his "amiability" was non-existent.

Li Nian called him "Boss", indicating this man was the boss of Xinghai Studio.

Although the boss doesn’t appear often, she still knew the boss’s name was Song Zhiqing, a very artistic name.

Zhuang Shuqing squared her shoulders, saying, "Hello, Boss Song, I am Zhuang Shuqing, the employee who was unfairly dismissed last week. According to the labor law, if an employer unilaterally terminates a labor contract, they must pay economic compensation. However, it has been a week, and I have not received any compensation."

Song Zhiqing nodded upon hearing this, then turned to look at Li Nian, "Is what she’s saying true?"

"This... Boss...."

"Editor-in-chief Li, let me give you a piece of advice, one should not be too shameless."

Li Nian felt a blockage in his chest and glared fiercely at Zhuang Shuqing, then turned to Song Zhiqing and said, "Boss, it is indeed her fault, our studio does not allow such people who distort the truth to remain."

Zhuang Shuqing sneered coldly, "May I ask what wrongdoing have I committed, Editor-in-chief Li?"

"The incident where you slandered Actress Tan Biyang and her director by claiming they had an improper relationship in that video; do you realize how much damage that has caused our studio’s reputation!"

"Is that so?" She raised her eyebrow, her eyes clearly dismissive, "How come I recall seeing news online just a few days ago about Tan Biyang wanting to use that video to blackmail Lu Jinyang into getting engaged with her?"
