My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 308 - You're Leaving? (I)

When Xu Nuan entered CEO Tang's office, she found him standing in front of the large window in his office. He turned around when she entered the room and gestured for her to sit on a chair. 

He also took his seat, opposite her. He stared at her for a few minutes without saying anything and sighed. After taking his time, he took an envelope from the drawer under his desk, " This is the document I have received from the Han Corporations. It's about clearing your contract dues and issuing the relieving letter for you. Xu Nuan, do you seriously want to leave shining bright?"

" Why are you doing this? Is the pay too low? Do you want me to increase it?" He asks. 

She told him about this before the award ceremony and he thought that she was just bluffing with him. Although he used to dislike her in the start because her working style was opposite to him and she always goes against the usual working norms of the industry, things are different now. 

Unlike Wang Meili, who gives more importance to connections and pretty looks, she focuses on talent and quality. He liked Wang Meili's working style more because it was more comfortable and less risky. 

However, Xu Nuan's way of working not only helped the company to reach new heights but helped in polishing the artists' skills as well. He knows that there is no way Wang Meili can bring the results as Xu Nuan does. 

How can he let the star manager of his company go like that? The Knights are doing great and if this goes on, they will become the best company in the entertainment industry soon enough. 

Xu Nuan pursed her lips and didn't say anything. The award ceremony has ended, the girls will start working on a new track soon enough and they will need to take on new projects too. If she stays till her contract ends in two months, it will influence their work and she doesn't want to leave them in the middle of the project. 

So it's better to leave early to keep things going smoothly. If they start afresh on a project with a new manager, this will be more efficient than changing managers in between. 

" Mr. Tang, don't worry. I will explain to the new manager who will manage the Knights in the future. Till then, Tan Tan will be able to manage the girls since she is aware of their work schedule." She said, 

Before preparing to leave, she has asked them to appoint a new manager to handle The Knights. She didn't want the girls to end up in Wang Meili's hands, who would ruin their careers. 

Mr. Tang pursed his lips seeing Xu Nuan's stubbornness and sighed heavily. He comforted himself thinking that they still have The Knights. He nodded and took out another folder from the drawer. 

He slid the folder to her side and said, " Then get the girls to sign on this document before you leave. This is their renewal contract. Just like you, their contract is going to end in two months."

" Seeing how much attention they're getting from the public, other companies must want to scout them. We need to renew their contract before they can sign with other companies. So if you want without any conflict, get them to sign their contract. You can do this at least, right?" He asked cautiously. 

" Also, don't tell them about your news of leaving before getting them to sign this contract," he said hesitantly. He was worried that the girls might leave seeing Xu Nuan leaving the company. 

Xu Nuan frowned upon hearing his words. The Knights was a temporary group that was bounded with a year contract only and was supposed to disband afterward if they didn't stand upto the expectations. 

As their manager, she must convince them to sign the contract but his words sounded more like a lie to her. She picked up the contract and shook her head, " I will talk to them about renewing their contract but...I won't lie to them."

" I will inform them about my exit from the company first and will talk about the contract renewal. They need to know that I won't be their manager anymore after they sign this paper. If I don't tell them that, it will be like lying to them. And I don't want that." 

" You...Don't you know that they might change their mind after knowing this?" 

She pursed her lips. She wanted to scout the girls for her new company that she wants to open but she has nothing to offer them for now. The girls are doing well in their career and if they leave the company with her, they will have to start a new name, new staff, new atmosphere, everything. 

She doesn't want them to suffer with her and struggle along with her. That's why she isn't trying to poach them and follow her out of the company.

" I know that. However, it should be their choice. I don't have any right to make decisions on their behalf." She said and nodded at him politely before leaving his office. 

Xu Nuan entered the elevator while holding the contract renewal document that she is planning to read thoroughly and then give it to the girls to sign on. She knows very well how these companies make their contracts, they will have hidden terms and conditions that can harm the artist later. 

After staying in the industry for so long, this is just the basics. She was thinking about how to break this news to the girls who are so happy and believe in her. 

She was lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize that a pair of eyes were watching her since the moment she entered CEO Tang's office and left while holding the contract renewal document.

While Xu Nuan was busy going through the contract in her office, the girls were practicing in the practicing room. 

Pan Lan and Sun Ya were lying on the floor, chatting. Whereas Song Ai was still practicing the dance moves and Lai Yi was drinking her lemonade in the corner, her favorite place. 

" Xu Nuan is getting new fans every day. Did you see that they have made a fan club for her as well?" Pan Lan laughed as she showed Sun Ya the fan club page while lying on the floor. 

Sun Ya giggled and pulled her phone closer to see clearly, " Really? That's crazy. They have posted all of her photos taken at the award ceremony."

" But...why does she look pretty in these pictures? I don't even look this pretty in my pictures." She pouted. 

" Because she is pretty. She doesn't even wear much makeup, but doesn't she look pretty intimidating for her age? It's all because of her confidence." Song Ai said as she also sat on the floor beside them. 

Sun Ya nodded. That's true indeed. 

As they were talking, the door of the practice room was pushed open. Song Ai turned to see Xu Nuan but a frown appeared on her face to see who came to see them. 

Everyone's expressions turned ashen as they stood up to face the person who came to meet them, more likely to pick a fight with them. 

" Why are you here?" Pan Lan asked as folded her hands intimidatingly in front of her chest and looked at the person with glum expressions.
