Chapter 219 Murong's Sophistry
Song Qianyi laughed angrily, "Mu Rong, I never said it was yesterday's surveillance footage."
When Mu Rong heard Song Qianyi's words, her heart skipped a beat, but she still forced herself to argue.
"President Song, well... that might be a mistake. Maybe it's just someone whose figure looks a bit like mine. There are many people in this world who look alike, so we can't just assume it's me."
"And even if it's me, so what? There's no rule that says you can't go to the toilet on the first floor."
Hearing Mu Rong's sophistry and unreasonable arguments, Song Qianyi trembled with anger.
She slammed her hand on the table with a loud bang, causing the water glass on the table to tremble and spill some water.
Her eyes widened, filled with the flames of anger, as she stared intently at Murong, her gaze seemingly trying to see right through her.
"Mu Rong! You really won't admit defeat until you're faced with the truth! Going to the toilet is fine, but before you went, you did something terrible: a power outage, damaged costumes, and ruined someone else's stage. That's unforgivable!"
As she spoke, she pointed to the damaged Lin Qiqi's clothes on the ground.
"You dare say you didn't tamper with these clothes? The evidence is irrefutable, and you're still trying to twist the facts! Do you want me to call in the person who pulled the power switch?"
Upon hearing Song Qianyi's words, Murong's lips trembled slightly, and she stammered.
"Mr. Song, I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean by someone pulling the power switch? What does that have to do with me?"
However, her voice was clearly lacking in strength, and her hands were unconsciously clenched tightly together, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Song Qianyi laughed when she saw Murong's stubborn denial.
"Mu Rong, do you think you've gotten away with what you've done without anyone knowing?"
As she spoke, Song Qianyi threw the photo on the ground.
Then they called in the staff member who had previously turned off the power.
Looking at the photo in front of her, Murong's face turned ashen, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
Zhong Qianfeng, standing to the side, frowned deeply, looking at Murong with a serious expression and a look of disdain for her behavior.
He crossed his arms, took a step forward, and said in an icy tone.
"Mu Rong, if you admit it now, you might still be able to save some face for yourself."
Zhong Qianfeng was also extremely angry about Mu Rong's actions, feeling that she had wasted the company's efforts in cultivating her and ruined the good atmosphere of the entire selection process.
Murong's eyes began to dart around, trying to find a chance to escape.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down her face.
"President Song, President Zhong, I was wrong. I was blinded by jealousy. Seeing how outstanding Lin Qiqi is, I was afraid that I wouldn't have a chance to debut, so I did these stupid things. I know I am unforgivable, but please give me another chance. I will definitely repent and be a good person in the future."
Song Qianyi looked coldly at Murong kneeling on the ground, her eyes filled with no pity, only deep disappointment.
"Mu Rong, opportunities aren't something you beg for. Your actions have seriously violated company rules and professional ethics, and have also damaged the company's interests and reputation. From this moment on, you are no longer an artist with the company. Pack your things and leave immediately."
Zhong Qianfeng's assistant spoke up at the opportune moment.
“Ms. Murong, the contract you signed clearly stipulates that you must not do anything that harms the company’s interests. Your actions today have clearly violated this clause.”
"According to the contract, you are required to pay the corresponding penalty for breach of contract. The company will pursue this fee through proper legal procedures; this is the punishment you deserve."
Upon hearing the words "penalty for breach of contract," Murong's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled violently. She raised her head in despair, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.
She pleaded, her voice trembling.
"President Song, President Zhong, I really don't have the money to pay the breach of contract penalty. I'm just from an ordinary family, I simply can't afford that much money. Please, please be lenient and don't make me pay the penalty. I promise to stay away from the entertainment industry and never cause you any more trouble."
Song Qianyi looked at her expressionlessly, her heart unmoved.
"Mu Rong, this is the path you chose. You should have considered the consequences when you did it. The company has always adhered to the principle of fairness and impartiality in treating every artist, but you broke the rules for your own selfish desires, and now you must bear the corresponding responsibility."
