Chapter 464


    After leaving thepany, Fade Chen''s cell phone rang. He looked at the caller''s number and


    found that it was an unfamiliar phone number. He paused slightly, and then he answered the phone.


    Before Fade could speak, someone spoke in a rushed manner on the other end of the phone, "Are


    you Fade? I''m Yoko. Sister Winnie is going abroad and her flight is tonight. Can youe over


    now?


    Hearing her words, Fade responded immediately. Yoko Xie was Winnie Huo''s best friend and


    ssmate. Fade had gone for a meal with them thest time.


    Hearing that Winnie was going abroad, Fade immediately said, "Where are you? I''ll be right there."


    Yoko said, "I''m at Michelin Western Restaurant which is at Ring Road Food Street."


    Fade hung up the phone and drove quickly to Michelin Western Restaurant.


    After parking the car in front of the restaurant, Fade noticed that Yoko was rushing over with an


    anxious


    expression. "Fade, you''re here!"she said.

    Fade did not greet her. Walking beside Yoko, he asked, "Did something happen to Sister Winnie?


    Why is she suddenly going abroad?"


    Yoko sighed slightly and looked at Fade. She couldn''t help thinking of the incidents in the past.


    Previously, Fade and the two of them had attended their ssmate reunion together. After returning


    from that event, Winnie admitted that she had feelings for Fade after Yoko had asked her about the


    matter. However, they discovered that Fade was married.


    As a result, Winnie''s blossoming feelings took a hit, and she was depressed for a few days.


    Later, Winnie turn her thoughts toward her career. She epted many engagements at once, in


    order to numb herself with a flurry of activities and forget about the feelings in her heart.


    Although Yoko felt upset for her best friend, she also knew that Winnie needed to let go of that


    rtionship.


    Initially, they had good intentions. However, they did not expect that Winnie''s career would not go


    well. Clients and agencies said that she was waning in poprity and that she was no longer


    famous. They deducted her sry, insulted her, and gradually ignored her.


    These issues caused a lot of controversy and Winnie felt that her work ce was unpleasant.


    Specifically, the recent contractual issues with the agency caused Winnie to be upset. She had no


    mood to work.


    Winnie''s emotional wound had not healed yet, and troubles appeared in her workce. She felt


    tremendous pressure and she almost copsed.


    In the end, Winnie could not bear all of these issues in her life, so she decided to give up her acting


    career and further her studies abroad.


    Winnie was about to leave today, and she informed Yoko of her decision. Then, she asked her to


    have a farewell meal together. As for Fade, Winnie naturally did not tell him about this due to her


    feelings toward him.


    Yoko understood Winnie''s thoughts. She knew that Winnie was not going to study abroad. Her


    purpose of leaving was to escape from her work and emotional stress.


    If these matters were not resolved directly but simply avoided, the fundamental issues would not be


    resolved at all. Moreover, Yoko did not support Winnie''s decision to give up her acting career.


    Therefore,under these circumstances, Yoko thought of Fade. Yoko wanted him to help Winnie in her


    dilemma, and persuade her to stay.


    These thoughts and experiences shed through Yoko''s mind quickly, and she swiftly informed


    Fade of Winnie''s current situation.


    Of course, Yoko did not tell Fade about Winnie''s feelings for him. She only said that Winnie had


    some emotional troubles.


    After Fade heard her words, his heart sank slightly, and he followed Yoko into the restaurant quickly.


    Winnie was already there. She spotted Yoko''s figure at the door. She couldn''t help but wave and


    greet her,saying, "Yoko, I''m here--"


    However, when Winnie saw Fadeing in with Yoko, her expression changed slightly. Her mouth


    twitched and her smile was gone. She became emotional and depressed.


    Yoko sat down with a smile. Then, she said to Winnie, "Winnie, I was just outside and I bumped into


    Fade, so I asked him toe in together."


    Winnie knew in her heart that Yoko had purposely made such arrangements. However, she didn''t


    say anything to argue with her. She nodded slightly, and then smiled at Fade,saying,"Fade, since


    you''re here, do take a seat."


    Although Winnie''s smile was still warm and polite, Fade felt a sense of distance from her that wasn''t


    there before.


    Suddenly, Fade couldn''t help but feel a sense of pain in his heart. The muscles on his face twitched


    slightly, but he still sat down.


    Immediately, the three of them ordered some western food and then they chatted as they ate.


    "Sister Winnie, do you really want to go abroad? Can''t thepany matter be resolved through


    negotiation?" Fade asked out loud.


    Winnie''s eyebrows were lowered as she sighed softly, and then she uttered, "My poprity has


    declined so much now that I''ve reached the level of a B-lister. Thepany is not happy with my


    sry and wants me to sign a new contract. They demanded for a higher share and my pay was


    lowered. I can''t agree to such terms and conditions."


    After Fade heard this, he couldn''t help but be outraged. "How can they tter you when you are


    popr and abandon you when you are less popr? This is ridiculous."


    Winnie shook her head and said, "This is how the entertainment industry is."


    Fade frowned again and said, "Sister Winnie, you can simply leave thepany and be a


    frencer. Didn''t many celebrities leave their agencies and set up their own studios?"


    Winnie exined the matter to him, saying, "I did consider that, but I''m not good at handling those


    matters at all. If you ask me to negotiate business matters with businessmen or handle office


    matters, it would be better to just kill me on the spot. Also, my contract with thepany willst


    another three years. It will be impossible for thepany to let go of me and allow me to leave."


    "Is there no other way?" Fade said.


    Winnie shook her head and said, "Forget it. Anyway, I have been in the entertainment industry for a


    long time, and I have gone through a lot. Now, I''m going abroad. I can have a holiday and rx."


    Yoko heard her words and was reluctant to let her leave. She advised her, saying, "Winnie, you


    have loved acting since you were a child. You graduated from the School of Film and Television,


    and you have made it all the way to your current position. Do you really want to give up on all this?"


    Winnie heard Yoko''s words and she froze for a moment. A light shed across her eyes. However,


    in the end, she shook her head and said to Yoko, "Yoko, I know you want the best for me. However,


    I really don''t want to continue fighting with them now. I''m sick of everything"


    Yoko heard what Winnie said and she wanted to persuade her some more, but she didn''t know


    what to say. After all, she had already said everything she wanted to. Therefore, at this time, she


    could only look toward Fade for help.
