Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 464

After leaving the company, 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 you come over now? Hearing her words, Fade responded immediately. Yoko Xie was Winnie Huo's best friend and classmate. Fade had gone for a meal with them the last 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 classmate 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 accepted 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 relationship.

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 popularity and that she was no longer famous. They deducted her salary, insulted her, and gradually ignored her.

These issues caused a lot of controversy and Winnie felt that her work place 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 workplace. She felt tremendous pressure and she almost collapsed.

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 flashed 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 Fade coming 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 to come 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 the company matter be resolved through negotiation?" Fade asked out loud.

Winnie's eyebrows were lowered as she sighed softly, and then she uttered, "My popularity has declined so much now that I've reached the level of a B-lister. The company is not happy with my salary 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 flatter you when you are popular and abandon you when you are less popular? 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 the company and be a freelancer. Didn't many celebrities leave their agencies and set up their own studios?"

Winnie explained 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 the company will last another three years. It will be impossible for the company 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 relax."

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 flashed 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.
