"It's hard to believe that this happened in just two hours." Even Xia Chun, who's always walking by the river, is bound to get his shoes wet eventually.
“I was surprised too, but what can I do when she’s done so many bad things?” Lin Man disliked Xia Chun from the very beginning.
Xia Chun always likes to cause trouble and targets Sister Shi at every turn, but luckily her Sister Shi is smart and has never let her get the better of her.
On the other hand, which of the other staff members and minor celebrities on set wasn't bullied by her?
Once this incident was exposed, countless people came forward with their own revelations on Weibo.
However, she brought it all on herself, so she has no one else to blame.
"But this alone shouldn't be enough to get her blacklisted, right?" Shen Shiqing has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and many people have had their careers ruined countless times but are still active in the industry.
Shamelessly exploiting fans everywhere, the fans' tolerance for immoral celebrities is still too high.
"That's true, but that's not all the revelations. Sister Shi, do you remember Xia Chun's assistant?"
Shen Shiqing nodded. She remembered, and had a deep impression of, that she was a girl with a gentle personality.
She was always being beaten and scolded by Xia Chun, which was quite pitiful. Shen Shiqing even handed her a band-aid.
One day, when he saw her crying, Shen Shiqing couldn't bear to watch and comforted her for a while.
That girl has had a tough time. Her parents passed away early, and she and her younger sister depended on each other for survival. She started working at a young age to support her sister's schooling.
She could tolerate everything Xia Chun did to her, as long as she got paid. But she never expected that Xia Chun, who earned so much, would deduct her wages.
Later, Shen Shiqing found out that the situation was indeed true. Shen Qingyun's company had a charity event that could sponsor impoverished students, and Shen Shiqing helped to make the connection.
The problem of the little assistant's schooling was finally solved, and the burden was reduced. However, Shen Shiqing didn't pay much attention to this matter after that.
“I remember her.”
"She's also come out to expose Xia Chun. She has a lot of injuries, with photographic evidence, and she even went to the hospital for a medical examination. There are also audio recordings. Xia Chun might have to pay that little assistant money this time."
"She should pay compensation." How can someone torment someone like this and then try to walk away unscathed?
"Anyway, after this was exposed, many fans were quite disappointed, and they almost lost all their fans. Brands also terminated their contracts one after another, and they probably have to pay a lot in compensation."
"She deserves it." Shen Shiqing always believed in cause and effect, and the retribution of good and evil.
"That's not all," Lin Man said, keeping everyone in suspense. "Sister Shi, guess what else she did?"
"Anything else?" Just how many bad things has Xia Chun done? There's no end to the list.
"What if she's blacklisted? Perhaps she broke the law?" Shen Shiqing offered his guess.
"Bingo! Sister Shi, you're so smart." Lin Man continued, "Maybe it's because she's usually too arrogant and has offended too many people, so she was reported by someone in the same company."
"Could it be tax evasion?!" Shen Shiqing was almost certain.
"Yes!!! Sister Shi, I don't even need to say anything, you can guess it."
That's natural; such things are quite common in the entertainment industry. The reasons for scandals are either sleeping with someone or paying taxes.
"An internal report accused her of tax evasion. Sister Shi, do you know how much money was involved?"
"How big?" Shen Shiqing guessed that it would start at one hundred million.
"The amount involved in the case is as high as 500 million yuan." Lin Man still feels shocked when he says it now.
Xia Chun is just a third-tier actress, yet she dared to steal so much; there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
"She's really brave."
"Who can argue with that?" Lin Man could only say, "In a society governed by the rule of law, we still have to abide by the law."
“That is indeed true.” Shen Shiqing agreed wholeheartedly.
We chatted all the way and soon arrived at a hotel near the filming location.
"Sister Shi, I live in the next room. Just call me if you need anything, I'll be there anytime."
"Okay, you should rest now."
She walked out slowly and gently closed the door.
Exhausted after packing his things, Shen Shiqing collapsed onto the bed.
Only then did she take out her phone. There were so many push notifications on Weibo that she couldn't even keep up, and the vast majority of them were about Xia Chun's matter.
Shen Shiqing has already seen the gossip on Manman's site, so he doesn't want to see it again and there's no need to see it again.
Now that it's online, it would be a bit unreasonable not to post something on Weibo.
Shen Shiqing opened the photo album, found the photo of the double rainbow, and quickly edited and sent it.
[@Shen Shiqing: Sharing good fortune.]
He logged off immediately after posting, and his fans hadn't even arrived yet; they were probably all watching the drama unfold.
Shen Shiqing logged out of Weibo, and a message popped up with a smile; it was from Lu Jingchu.
[Lu Jingchu]: Have we arrived yet?
[Shen Shiqing]: Hmm, we've arrived. I'm lying down right now.
[Lu Jingchu]: Then you should rest well, we'll have dinner together later.
[Shen Shiqing]: Okay.
Shen Shiqing began to idly scroll through his WeChat Moments.
I happened to see what Xichi posted.
[Xi Chi: No filming, another day of eating dirt.]
Shen Shiqing gave her a like and even left a comment to comfort her.
She later watched some of Xi Chi's works, all of which were minor roles, but his acting was good. He brought each character to life and showed that he was a promising talent.
It's just that I lacked a bit of luck.
They had originally planned to have dinner with Lu Jingchu, but the director's notification in the group chat disrupted their plans.
At 8 p.m., the crew had a dinner party, which of course consisted of the main actors. There weren't many people, just enough to fill one table.
Shen Shiqing tidied himself up and rushed over.
Lu Jingchu had just arrived. The two exchanged a glance, and Shen Shiqing sat down next to him.
With so many people around, the two of them acted very normally, making it impossible to tell that they had a normal working relationship.
It's 9 PM, dinner is over, and now the director is getting down to business.
"I'm very happy to have worked with everyone during this time. You are all good actors, and thank you all for your support of my work," Director Jiang said, bringing up the topic.
"Everyone knows what happened today, which means that a lot of our previous efforts have been wasted. We may need to reshoot some content. Does anyone have any objections?"
They all said there was no problem; nobody wants this to happen, but if it does, they can only accept it.
"But for that role, does anyone have any good recommendations?" This came up suddenly, and Director Jiang couldn't think of any actor to play the role for the time being.
After thinking it over, I decided to ask the actors under his command; perhaps they would have some good candidates to recommend.
After this was said, everyone expressed their opinions, wanting to promote their own company's people or friends to act.
We should keep the good stuff within the family.
Shen Shiqing also suggested a candidate to Director Jiang.
With more people, there are naturally more choices.
"Okay then, once we've finished filming our scenes, you can have them come over for an interview."
"Okay." No one had any objections. As for who would take on the role, that was up to them.
They're just playing a connecting role now.
10 PM.
Shen Shiqing returned to his room.
[Shen Shiqing]: I have a role for Xichi. Would it be convenient for you to audition? I'll send you the script. Take a look at it in the next couple of days.
[Xi Chi]: Okay, Sister Shi, no problem, no problem, thank you, Sister Shi.
[Shen Shiqing]: You're welcome. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand.
[Xi Chi]: Yay, thank you, Sister Shi.
Finally, I sent a heart-shaped emoji.
Xi Chi put down his phone, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and muttered to himself, "Mission accomplished!!!"
