Chapter 252 Emperor Qi: Do you like the gift I gave you?
Lynn took a deep breath: "That's impossible."
"You are not the real her, and we can never be true friends."
“You just can’t accept it right now. After spending so much time with me, shouldn’t you know very well what kind of person I am?” Su Qi asked.
Indeed, compared to the person before, Su Qi now at least won't put himself in a desperate situation.
“If you don’t agree,” Su Qi began to threaten, “keeping you around will only be a threat, so I’ll have no choice but to use unethical means to eliminate you…”
Lynn was betting she wouldn't do it: "Would you?"
Su Qi smiled and said, "I will."
Lynn kept panting to calm herself down: "We're not on the same wavelength. You're extreme and leave no way out for others, while I simply can't do those things. In that case, go ahead and do it."
Lynn closed her eyes, and at that moment, her mind was filled with another Su Qi.
If she hadn't put pressure on Su Qi back then, and hadn't used her moral boundaries to blackmail her, perhaps she could have gone further and wouldn't have been bullied.
The current Su Qi has achieved it, but unfortunately, it's not the same person originally.
Su Qi was planning to rewind time and use his retention ability to imprison Lynn in this timeline forever.
A slight current surged in her fingertips, and the next second, Shen Chaohuai appeared in front of her.
"No..."
"Xiao Qi."
Su Qi looked up.
Shen Chaohuai hesitated, then said, "The flaw of an emperor is his paranoia. I understand you, but do you really have to eliminate an innocent person? Even if she did not betray us."
"To prevent future troubles, isn't that right?" Su Qi frowned.
"Let her go. If she reveals your secret later, then we can proceed with our next steps."
“There’s no room for negotiation. To me, if she’s unwilling to submit, then she cannot exist.” Su Qi raised his finger, imprisoning Lynn in this time and space, and then instantly reverted to the previous timeline.
[You have reverted to a point before the "Tianhai contract termination" incident.]
[The contract has been terminated, but the key item "50 billion check" remains. NPC Lynn is currently locked in a spatial storage and will soon disappear from the current save file.]
Shen Chaohuai looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes clouded with gloom.
"I don't know if it's a good thing to restore your memories, but at least now you're the same as before, no different from a tyrant."
Su Qidun stood there, a surge of resentment rising in her heart: "Because I did this, so you're not going to say things like you're disappointed in me or don't like me anymore?"
Shen Chaohuai's brow furrowed: "I..."
“Alright, I don’t want to hear it,” Su Qi stopped talking, “but I must remind you that if you also have ulterior motives, I don’t mind treating you the same way.”
After she finished speaking, Shen Chaohuai lowered his head, gave a cold laugh, and felt a sense of loss.
They are separated.
Su Qi returned to her house, but suddenly felt unwell and inexplicably sad. However, when she thought about the things she still had to deal with, the feeling of unease disappeared.
She returned the check to Gu Xing, who then personally visited her at her home.
You don't look well, what's wrong?
Su Qi leaned to one side of the sofa: "It's nothing."
"Why is this check back? What did you do with it?"
Since Gu Xing wasn't included in the rollback, he naturally didn't know the whole story.
Su Qi laughed and said, "Of course, it's just to go through the motions of terminating the contract."
"The contract was terminated? So what's next for you...?"
"Self-established studio".
"Do you need my help?" Gu Xing asked. "Actually, if you need it... I can give you my old team. Anyway, I've retired from the industry now, so I don't need it anymore."
"Thank you, but..." She couldn't use someone else's people, since their loyalty was hard to guarantee.
"I think it's more appropriate for me to choose the people myself."
"Alright." Gu Xing stood up. "Then I'll be going. I wish you all the best in your work."
As soon as Gu Xing opened the door, he saw Shen Chaohuai standing at the door with a resentful look on her face, as if she wanted to kill Gu Xing.
"Sorry, Brother Shen, I'm here to get the check from her."
Everyone knows about the current relationship between Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi, and Gu Xing is naturally very sensible about it.
Shen Chaohuai put his hands in his pockets and looked at Gu Xing: "Very good, you start looking for someone else as soon as you get upset after an argument."
Sensing that something was off between the two, Gu Xing quickly ran away.
Su Qi stood up: "What exactly do you want? If you don't have anything to do, then don't come here. I'm very busy lately."
She put on her coat and was about to go out when she remembered to tell Gu Xing, "Give me a ride, I need to go to Tianhai."
“This…” Gu Xing was worried about being retaliated against by Shen Chaohuai.
"is it not OK?"
Seeing Su Qi's pleading expression, Gu Xing nodded: "Get in the car."
Shen Chaohuai sneered and turned his back to the two of them.
Upon arriving at Tianhai Media, Gu Xing escorted Su Qi upstairs, but sensed that something was amiss.
"Why does it feel like so many people are gone? Did they all resign?"
"Because I terminated my contract, they were also bound by the contract, so they all terminated their contracts as well."
Gu Xing realized something: "Then wouldn't the Tianhai board of directors suffer a huge loss? How did you terminate the contract?"
"Use your checks." Su Qi smiled slightly.
Gu Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad I could help you. I'll be going now."
Su Qi knew that Gu Xing was afraid of Shen Chaohuai, so he had been avoiding suspicion.
"Ah."
After Gu left, she continued upstairs.
……
Cui Ying was smashing things in the office.
"What about people?!"
"Where has everyone gone?"
"Why are they all gone! Why can't I get through on the phone!"
"The data... the data is gone too!"
"A ghost...there's a ghost."
Suddenly remembering something, Cui Ying looked at the termination letter on the table, somewhat incredulous.
The entire Tianhai Media building is now deserted. The company is entirely supported by Su Qi, and only Su Qi's team remains here. It's normal that everyone would run away as soon as they terminate their contracts with Su Qi.
Cui Ying looked at the dozens of termination notices and then searched the company's accounts, only to find that she had not received the termination fee.
She screamed and ran around in terror.
"There is a ghost..."
Cui Ying immediately called Su Qi.
The termination letter has already been signed by her, so it's impossible for her to file a lawsuit. Moreover, with such a large financial chain, she will still be investigated and punished if she is reported.
"What should I do? If Mr. Zheng finds out, he'll kill me..."
The call connected, but there was no sound.
Cui Ying only heard Su Qi's footsteps coming from the stairwell.
"Chairman Cui..."
Do you like the gift I gave you?
Her voice turned somber, and Cui Ying was so frightened that she dared not move.
Cui Ying backed away repeatedly: "What's going on? I didn't sign any termination agreement..."
Su Qi burst out laughing: "You've just forgotten that the parts of your memory that you've lost are actually things that actually happened."
Cui Ying couldn't believe it. Looking at the empty building, she went crazy.
She ran out frantically and unexpectedly ran into Zheng Ran, who had come to collect debts.
"Mr. Zheng..."
Zheng Ran, wearing a mask and hat, completely covered himself up: "I heard you terminated Su Qi's contract? What about the termination fee?"
Cui Ying covered her head: "Contract termination fee..."
Her laughter grew increasingly maniacal: "It must be Su Qi! What methods did she use? How could she terminate the contract without paying a termination fee..."
Zheng Ran took a deep breath after hearing this, trying to calm himself down: "I understand... that woman said she was a monster..."
"Heh, Su Qi, I've finally found your weakness."
