I almost laughed out of anger at their shameless and nonsensical words.

I can say that most of the credit for the company's development from its founding to its current size goes to me, while Vivian and Marcus did not contribute much.

Because of a contract that year, no matter how much profit the company made in the past three years, I could only get a salary of $500 per month.

I have also mentioned the issue of salary increase to Vivian and Marcus, but they always gave me vague answers.

Vivian spends lavishly on expensive bags and cosmetics, and Marcus eats delicacies from land and sea all day long. They live a life of luxury, but they treat me as their ATM.

When it comes to Company Stocks, their actions are even more disgusting.

When the company was first established, Vivian said that she would marry me sooner or later, and the company stocks in her hands would be mine, and asked me not to participate in the distribution of the company's company stocks.

Marcus also repeatedly promised that he would never treat me unfairly after the company developed.

I trusted them too much back then, and ended up signing that three-year contract.

Now, three years have passed in a flash, and I have seen through their character clearly. Naturally, I will not be bewitched or used by them again.

Vivian took out a contract extension from her desk and said to me coldly, "Sign it!"

"Your salary will be raised to three thousand dollars in the future."

"After the company raises funds and goes public, I will give you 5% of the Profit Shares. Are you satisfied now?"

When she said this, Vivian was still very angry, as if I had taken great advantage of her.

Marcus also pretended to persuade me and said, "Lucas, stop making trouble and sign it quickly!"

"You and Vivian are going to get married soon, and you will be a family from now on. Why do you still care about these things?"

I shook my head and said to them coldly: "I won't sign it!"

"I will not marry Vivian either. Do you really think I don't know about the things you have done behind my back all these years?"

After hearing what I said, Vivian and Marcus' faces suddenly changed.

Vivian and Marcus are both my college classmates.

When I was in college, I liked to shoot some food appreciation videos.

During my senior year, a food appreciation video I shot went viral, and I got a small taste of what it was like to be an Internet celebrity.

At that time, I had just started dating Vivian.

Marcus and Vivian approached me to discuss starting a company using the internet traffic from my food appreciation photos.

I didn't agree at first.

After all, filming food identification is my hobby, and I don’t want to become an online food anchor.

Finally, I couldn't resist Vivian and Marcus's pestering and agreed to start a business with them.

At the beginning, I continued to shoot food appreciation videos every now and then as usual, and the number of views was quite good.

However, Vivian and Marcus were not satisfied.

They asked me to shoot as many videos as possible, and it would be best if I could update the videos on the account every day.

Vivian even pretended to beg me and said, "Honey, all my family assets have been invested in the company. We have to cash it out quickly, otherwise I will be left with nothing!"

Marcus also said to me bitterly: "Brother, I sold my old and shabby house because I trust you. You must not let me down!"

At that time, I loved Vivian deeply and regarded Marcus as my only brother.

So, even though I was reluctant, at their pleading, I still tried my best to take pictures of food appreciation, striving to increase the traffic of my account quickly so that the company could make a profit faster.

In addition, because I trust Vivian and Marcus, I also agreed to let them manage my shooting account.

When the food appreciation videos I shot became more and more popular, many advertisers came to me, waving money and wanting me to advertise in my food appreciation videos.

All the advertising revenue went to Vivian and Marcus, and I got nothing.

For three years, I have not received any other benefits from this company except for a monthly salary of $500.

Last time, when Vivian had her birthday, I wanted to have a good talk with her.

As a result, she didn't go home on her birthday night and Marcus couldn't contact her.

That night, I saw the photos on Marcus’ Moments. They were photos of Vivian and Marcus checking into a hotel.

In the photo, on the bedside table in the hotel room is the birthday gift that Marcus gave to Vivian, which is the Porcelain Teacup.

Marcus was probably drunk when he posted on WeChat Moments and forgot to block me. Although he deleted the photo quickly, I had already seen it.

The moment I saw that photo, I thought I would be furious, but actually I was very calm.

During these three years, I noticed the affair between Vivian and Marcus, but I didn't confront them directly. After all, I signed a three-year contract with them.

It would be very troublesome for me to break the contract, so I have been enduring it.

My love for Vivian and my brotherly love for Marcus have been completely trampled upon by them in these three years.

So, when the three-year term was up, I chose to resign without hesitation.

Vivian and Marcus still wanted to argue, but I was too lazy to argue with them.

The moment I turned around and left the office, Vivian and Marcus revealed their true colors.

Vivian yelled, "Lucas, if there was no company that spent money to run you and packaged you as a gourmet, how could you have become the popular online food anchor you are today?"

"If you are ungrateful, don't blame us."

"Your account belongs to the company, and you can no longer use a new account to do food appreciation, otherwise we will definitely sue you and put you in jail for the rest of your life."

Marcus also said to me gloomily: "The company has spent too much money on your training over the years. If you want to leave, we won't stop you."

"But you have to compensate us for our losses."

"Once we take you to court, you'll have to pay us at least tens of millions of dollars. You'd better think carefully!"

My response was simple. I didn't look back, but just gave them a middle finger and said my final goodbye.

The moment I walked out of the door of Gourmet Insight Group, there was a girl following me.

Her name is Sophia Taylor, and she is my junior.

She started working in the company last year and I was the one filming her.

I said to her somewhat helplessly, "Vivian and Marcus both made it clear that you were going to be the operations director, so why did you quit?"

Sophia curled her lips and snorted, "I joined this company just for you, senior."

"Now that you have resigned and left, I will definitely not stay here any longer!"

"Others may not know your contribution to this company, but I know it very well."

"Vivian and Marcus are really going too far. They treat you as a cash cow and mistreat you in every way. If it were me, I would have fallen out with them a long time ago."

"Senior, you are the pillar of this company. Once you leave, this company will definitely collapse very quickly."

Seeing Sophia standing up for me, I felt touched.

She insisted on following me and said that her family was rich and she would fully support me if I wanted to start a business.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just when I was about to refuse, Sophia's phone rang. After seeing the message on the phone, Sophia said angrily: "Vivian and Marcus are such beasts!"

"Senior, they are slandering you on the Internet!"

I glanced at the message on her phone and frowned.

The company just released an announcement announcing my dismissal. The details were vague, but the overall content of the announcement implicitly stated that I colluded with outsiders and caused great losses to the company.

At the same time, the company sent a lawyer's letter announcing that it was preparing to sue me and ask me to compensate the company for losses of 30 million US dollars.

Also, Vivian and Marcus used their social media accounts to scold me, which attracted a lot of curious onlookers.

On the hot search list, several posts that slandered me topped the list, with many netizens commenting enthusiastically below.

"I've said before that Lucas is a spent-to-create gourmet, but there are still many ignorant people who believe that Lucas is a real food critic."

"I've seen those food identification videos Lucas made. They're pretty disgusting."

"I don't like Lucas anyway. I always think he's too good at pretending."

"Lucas was fired this time and was sued for 30 million US dollars. It's really satisfying!"

Many of the comments under the hot searches are slandering and spreading rumors about me, and they are most likely the internet trolls hired by Vivian and Marcus.

Sophia's eyes turned red with anger. She turned around and wanted to go back to the company to argue with Vivian and Marcus, but I stopped her.

Sophia gritted her teeth and said, "Senior, Vivian and Marcus are simply inhumane in treating you like this."

"They also want you to pay 30 million US dollars in compensation. I really don't know how they had the nerve to send that lawyer's letter. Anyone with a little legal knowledge will know that the lawyer's letter is full of loopholes. If they really want to sue you, they have no chance of winning at all..."

I interrupted her and whispered, "They just want to ruin my reputation!"

"Only in this way can they feel at ease and continue to shoot videos with the account I previously operated to make profits for their company."

Sophia was a little anxious and said, "What should we do then?"

"I'll call my dad right now and ask him for help..."

I waved my hands and said softly, "No, it's easy to solve this problem!"

"Originally I wanted to save some face for them, but now that they have no shame, there is no need for me to save face for them."

"Get ready. I'll apply for a new account, shoot a shocking video, and slap them in the face!"

Sophia hurriedly said, "Senior, what kind of video are you going to shoot? Or food appreciation?"

I shook my head, took a deep breath, and said, "Didn't they say that they paid me to build the gourmet persona for me over the years?"

"Didn't they say that if they hadn't invested in me, I would just be a third-rate anchor that no one cared about?"

"Then I will let them see what my true identity is?"
