Chapter 42 I’m here to vent my anger, not to reason!
The last "Huh?" scared Wang Rui and Qi Tong so much that they shook their heads.
The two people only felt a coldness seeping into their backs, and their whole bodies were numb.
"Miss Shen, how can we possibly bear such a heavy responsibility? You..." Wang Rui smiled awkwardly. Seeing Shen Ci looking at him expressionlessly, he no longer cared about anything else. He pulled Qi Tong in front of him and scolded, "Speak, speak, explain the matter clearly to Miss Shen."
Qi Tong now wished he could become invisible, or turn into a speck of dust and float into the cracks in the floor. In short, he didn't have to stand here and face all this.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Qi Tong stuttered and couldn't help but steal a glance at Lu Jinzhao as soon as he opened his mouth, looking like a guilty thief.
Lu Jinzhao's brows furrowed. "Why are you staring at me? Is there something written on my face? I'm asking you to speak!"
"It wasn't Mr. Lu, it was someone from our company who proposed it. Can I tell you?" Qi Tong was sweating as he spoke, his armpits were soaked.
When Lu Jinzhao heard that it was someone from his company, his heart sank.
Seeing Miss Shen looking at him, he simply asked himself: "Who? Ren Jia?"
He had just made a random guess, but he didn't expect to get it right. Seeing Qi Tong nod, Lu Jinzhao's eyes widened.
"Ren Jia?" He was very surprised: "Why is she making things difficult for Chen Li for no reason?"
Ren Jia is a popular actress with a wealth of works, online popularity, and awards. Newcomers can only look up to her. How can they easily threaten her?
"How would I know that?" Qi Tong looked unlucky.
He was just doing a favor, which is very common in the circle. But why did he hit a wall? Ren Jia is really unlucky.
Chen Ci was not too unfamiliar with Ren Jia. Recently, this actress appeared in a drama that Gu Lianxing was following in the dormitory. It was said that she was a professional villain and had played many similar roles.
From the beginning, she didn't believe that it was the staff's negligence, nor did she believe that the stage was too small. She thought that someone must have deliberately targeted her by not allowing her sister to go on stage for no reason.
“Ms. Shen, Ren Jia is a female artist in our company. This matter involving her is a sign of deficiencies in our company’s management of artists. I will definitely deal with this matter seriously, so don’t worry.”
Lu Jinzhao did not defend his shortcomings, and of course he had no right to defend his shortcomings in front of Shen Ci, so he immediately adopted a correct attitude.
Shen Ci looked at him and asked directly: "How does Mr. Lu plan to deal with this Ren Jia?"
Lu Jinzhao was speechless for a moment, and hesitated and said: "I haven't thought about this yet, but don't worry, Miss Shen, I will definitely satisfy you."
"But replacing her is unlikely. I have to explain the situation to Miss Shen in advance. First, although she is an artist from my company, she signed a contract after getting the role. Second, the cast has already been announced at the press conference. If she is suddenly replaced, it will definitely affect the show. We also need to take into account the voices on the Internet. What do you think?"
Shen Ci raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. What Lu Jinzhao said was also realistic. He did not deliberately defend Ren Jia, but was completely considering the overall situation.
Her original intention was to get an explanation, not to target Lu Jinzhao and his company. Lu Jinzhao sold his house for this project. Shen Ci knew that he cared more about the success of this drama than anyone else.
"Mr. Lu, I won't embarrass you. Since Ren Jia wouldn't let my sister appear at the press conference, I'm going to give her a taste of her own medicine. From now on, all official accounts of 'Heaven's Destiny' are prohibited from publishing materials, news pushes, or crew details related to Ren Jia. She is also prohibited from participating in any subsequent related activities!"
"Huh?" Qi Tong subconsciously said, "Mr. Lu, Ren Jia is the second female lead. Doesn't that make sense?"
"Reason?" Chen Ci looked at Qi Tong and asked, "Do you think I'm being reasonable with you now?"
"I'm here to vent my sister's anger, not to reason with you!"
Qi Tong was so frightened by this sentence that he immediately fell silent. Wang Rui wanted to kick him from behind!
Lu Jinzhao quickly nodded and agreed: "No problem, Miss Shen, as long as you don't ask to replace her, I will agree to all your requests."
After hearing what Lu Jinzhao said, Shen Ci felt a little better, but she did not give up. She turned to look at Lu Jinzhao and continued, "How do you plan to comfort my sister, Mr. Lu? You don't intend to let her suffer this injustice today for nothing, do you?"
"Of course not, Miss Shen, our company still has several dramas waiting to be collaborated on. For all the undecided roles, your sister can choose first. I will directly recommend whichever one you want to play!" Lu Jinzhao took out his phone and fulfilled his promise on the spot: "I will arrange for someone to sort it out now and send it directly to your sister later so that she can choose."
Shen Ci was very satisfied with this method of appeasement, which was very sincere and practical.
For my sister, a newcomer, being able to choose her own role is something she would never have dared to imagine. She will definitely be very happy.
Shen Ci nodded, took a deep breath and stood up. Lu Jinzhao also stood up quickly, looking at Shen Ci's face carefully.
She paused for a moment before saying, "Let's end this matter here, and don't let my sister know."
"I understand, Miss Shen, don't worry." Lu Jinzhao nodded quickly to assure.
There was nothing else to say, so Shen Ci gathered her feelings, politely declined Lu Jinzhao's offer to send her back, and left the scene.
As soon as Shen Ci left, Lu Jinzhao seemed to have taken a jack off his shoulders, and sat back in his chair with a sigh of relief.
Wang Rui made such a big mistake that he didn't dare to breathe. He just remembered Shen Ci's appearance firmly in his heart and decided not to offend her in the future.
Only Qi Tong gritted his teeth secretly. He was not angry at Shen Ci but at Ren Jia, who almost hurt him badly.
"Qi Tong, right?" Lu Jinzhao suddenly looked at him after recovering from his shock, and said with a cold expression, "Pack your things, go to the HR office and resign immediately, and get out!"
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu." Qi Tong was dumbfounded, but Lu Jinzhao stood up and left without looking back.
After Shen Ci went downstairs, he did not rush back to school, but sat down in the coffee shop next door. When he was about to scan the code to place an order, a text message suddenly came from his mobile phone.
After clicking it casually, Shen Ci's eyes widened instantly.
"Your card with the last number *1069 received an interbank transfer of 74,800.00 yuan at the Longcheng branch at 3:00 PM on September 20th. The current balance is 4,837,159.88 yuan. The other party's account name is: China Space Exploration Research Department. P.S.: August salary [China Construction Bank]."
Chen Ci was stunned when she saw this incredible text message. "Huaxia Space Exploration Research Department" was the company she had worked for for decades. The amount of 74,800 was her last month's salary before retirement. It was actually deposited into her card on time on the 20th of every month!
Please give me a monthly ticket, please.
