Chapter 57 Virus Programs

Xu Zhizhi's slender fingers tapped on the keyboard, her eyes quickly looked at the code on the computer, and memories related to hacker skills kept appearing in her mind.

The speed is not particularly fast, but it gives people a sense of confidence.

Xu Zhizhi’s idea is very simple. The main idea is that if you want to subdue the enemy, you must understand the enemy.

Hacking skills are secondary. The key is to understand the purpose of the criminal behind it.

One obvious purpose is to get money.

The other party hijacked five mobile phones and twelve computers, and the total price they demanded was nearly three million.

In order to deter the hackers and delay time, those who were infected with the virus bargained and set the price at two million.

The transaction will be conducted at 5 o'clock this afternoon, using a special trading method.

Xu Zhizhi watched the long trial, plus the time for the break and the rush, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Zhizhi guessed that Qin Su was not sure if she could do it. After hesitating, she decided to give it a try and invited herself.

Putting all this aside, that is to say, Xu Zhizhi only has two hours.

So Xu Zhizhi did not choose to decrypt it, because it would definitely take more than two hours, even if she had top hacking skills.

After careful consideration, Xu Zhizhi chose to fight poison with poison.

Doesn’t the other party want money? What if all his electronic devices are also infected with ransomware? And what if it is a more powerful and difficult to solve ransomware?

No matter how the other party changes their electronic devices, as long as they touch their own ransomware, their computer will be locked.

This virus of hers is extremely aggressive and can steal all the information in the other party's mobile phone and computer!

After hijacking the other party's computer or mobile phone, especially the mobile phone with instructions, it is completely possible to control it. As long as the other party cannot remove Xu Zhizhi's ransomware, there is no way to control the ransomware here.

Fortunately, Xu Zhizhi had enough time to decrypt the ransomware.

At the same time, Qin Suo and others can also capture the criminal through the information Xu Zhizhi obtained through the other party’s mobile phone and computer.

This plan is not difficult to think of, but it is difficult to realize.

Not everyone can create a stronger ransomware in a short period of time and then accurately track and deliver it to the opponent.

If the key is not to catch the opponent, the existing virus must be decrypted.

Xu Zhizhi was typing very quickly while thinking.

The others behind her stared at the screen, wondering what Xu Zhizhi was going to do with all this ferocious action!

Perhaps, from this moment on, they began to not understand.

I could still understand some of it before, so no one was trying to exclude me or talk nonsense.

Because they couldn't understand, someone was about to ask, but was stopped by Qin Su, who was standing nearby with a sullen face, and signaled to keep quiet.

After all, Xu Zhizhi was only here to occupy a computer, so everyone looked at each other and moved on. Of course, no one would say what they were thinking.

Xu Zhizhi didn't pay any attention to the sight behind her. After sitting for more than half an hour, she finally stopped what she was doing.

She stood up and stretched her wrists and shoulders. After taking a deep breath, she looked at Qin Su and said, "Okay, I'll start trying to track him."

"Do your best. If you are discovered, remember to withdraw immediately." Qin Su only knows a little about computers, but according to his hacker friends, you should be aware of the problem in the attack and unplug the network cable in time.

Since Xu Zhizhi understands, just remind her of this.

Xu Zhizhi nodded her chin, "I know."

She's still waiting to make her request!

Soon Xu Zhizhi sat down and began to look for each other.

The light from the computer screen reflected on Xu Zhizhi's face, making her whole body seem to be glowing.

Xu Zhizhi's program disguised itself as a virus program and began to follow the clues.

In fact, the Internet will leave traces of where you have been, it just depends on whether you have cleaned it up thoroughly. For ordinary people, it is impossible to see them, but for hackers, the traces vary depending on the technology.

To others, no trace of this person is visible.

For Xu Zhizhi, it is most obvious.

Using the virus as a cover, Xu Zhizhi quickly located the other party's computer and mobile phone network addresses.

"10, 9, 8...3, 2, 1..." Xu Zhizhi finished the countdown and smiled. She had found the other person.

Others did not understand the counting because it seemed a bit too pretentious. However, they continued to watch out of politeness.

Until one person's pupils shrank, and he pointed at the computer and said, "It seems like we really found it!"

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Xu Zhizhi's computer.

Qin Su loosened his arms and stared at the computer screen in front of Xu Zhizhi with burning eyes.

Unfortunately, there are only codes and blue boxes, and I can't understand any of the remaining numbers.

He turned to look at Xu Zhizhi with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Yes, I found it. Let me lock the other party's electronic equipment first, and then find the person's location." Xu Zhizhi's hand did not leave the keyboard and continued typing.

A pop-up window popped up, and then the progress bar was full, and the red word "Locked" popped up.

Xu Zhizhi raised her lips slightly, "Okay."

There were shouts of surprise at the scene, and several people admired this scene. Those who thought she was too pretentious before covered their hearts, this was not Xu Zhizhi pretending, it was clearly Xu Zhizhi's confidence in her skills!

As Xu Zhizhi finished speaking, a pop-up window appeared with the words "the opponent is attacking". Apparently, the opponent had discovered that they had locked the electronic equipment and started to counterattack.

Everyone was instantly worried, fearing that Xu Zhizhi wouldn't be able to handle it.

From the perspective of ransomware, they had previously understood and analyzed it, and knew that the opponent's technology was very advanced.

Xu Zhizhi was discovered so quickly and a fierce attack was launched. It is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhizhi didn't care at all and only tried to decode and locate the other party's real address.

"Xu Zhizhi, aren't you afraid? I always feel that he is about to break through the defense," said a young man's voice.

Of course Xu Zhizhi didn’t introduce her name when she came in, but when you see her face, how can you not recognize her?

Xu Zhizhi shook her head. "It is precisely because we need the opponent to attack that we can quickly lock onto the opponent's address. Have you heard of the phrase 'a wild goose leaves a mark when it passes by'?"

"How long do you need to lock him up? I'll have people prepare to arrest him!" Qin Su stepped forward and looked at Xu Zhizhi.

Xu Zhizhi estimated and said with a smile: "Three minutes, only three minutes."

Qin Su was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to be so fast. He picked up his phone and started calling his teammates, ready to go at any time.

The others swallowed hard, feeling a tense atmosphere, and watching the attack and counterattack, their hearts tensed.

They prayed silently that it would be successful because this case had kept them away from home for three consecutive days!

Xu Zhizhi looked at him indifferently.

A smile appeared on her face because she was curious about when the opponent would realize that her attack would expose his position.

If it takes more than two minutes, it's too late.

When she raised her hand and started to attack, after all, from attack to detection, it was a test of people's reaction. The reaction and sensitivity to computer technology could also judge the opponent's level to a certain extent.

Soon the time came to one minute and thirty seconds, one minute and forty seconds, one minute and fifty seconds. Finally, at one minute and fifty-five seconds, the opponent stopped attacking and quickly retreated.

Xu Zhizhi sighed in her heart at the good level, then put her hands on the keyboard and started typing. The program virus followed the opponent's way back and blocked the opponent's newly opened computer along the way.

The process took one minute, and after two minutes and fifty-five seconds, a spot popped up in front of Xu Zhizhi.

Xu Zhizhi clicked convert, and a line of address appeared in the eyes of Qin Su and others.

"Take a picture and then go find it!" Xu Zhizhi said directly.

Everyone opened their mouths wide, unable to believe what they saw.

They could see that Xu Zhizhi was not only able to create virus programs, but could also precisely attack the opponent's system vulnerabilities.

And everything happened in a very short period of time. Anyway, his power was much higher than theirs.

Qin Su looked at their reactions, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he took out his cell phone to take a picture and then left quickly.

As long as Xu Zhizhi could catch the other party and let him release the grip, she would have less trouble.

Xu Zhizhi watched Qin Su leave, then stood up and prepared to get some water from the water dispenser.

At this time, a figure much faster than Xu Zhizhi quickly ran to the water dispenser, took out a disposable paper cup for hospitality, quickly poured a cup of warm water, turned around and stuffed it into Xu Zhizhi's hand, "You must be thirsty, drink some water."

"...Thank you," Xu Zhizhi was stunned. She didn't expect the other party to pour water for her.

After she took it, she walked to her previous seat and sat down, slowly sipping the warm water in the cup.

The people in the office didn't feel that Xu Zhizhi was a celebrity and therefore had a sense of distance, so they formed a circle around her. The young man who had just poured the water scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Zhizhi, we think your method is very interesting. You are very good at computers. I wonder if you can give us some advice?"

After they said this, they all felt a little ashamed.

When Xu Zhizhi walked into the office an hour ago, they didn't think so. They thought Qin Su was crazy and wanted to find a celebrity to crack the ransomware.

Unexpectedly, they were slapped in the face in such a short time.

What Qin Su invited was not a vase at all, but a computer tycoon.

After watching the performance, they were very impressed.

The young man blushed, thought for a moment, and added, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. The main thing is that we don't have anything to give you."

As for money, the money they give is not as much as what celebrities like Xu Zhizhi earn. They are afraid that the other party will refuse their salary and allowances.

"Okay! There's nothing that can't be taught!" Xu Zhizhi was originally drinking water. After hearing this, she put down the cup and smiled. It would be great to learn hacking technology from a serious person.

These people are all police officers. They are not afraid of using Xu Zhizhi's knowledge in the wrong way.

If the other party takes the initiative to learn, she will not have the slightest idea of ​​being stingy.

Several people looked at each other, and the men and women began to disperse, picking up their notebooks and placing some snacks in front of Xu Zhizhi.

Xu Zhizhi is about the same age as them and should like snacks.

As expected, Xu Zhizhi was visibly delighted when she saw the snacks. She tore open a bag of potato chips, moved the mouse, picked up a piece and ate it, then pointed at the screen while eating to explain the principle to them.

These codes can be copied and pasted, Xu Zhizhi mainly explains the principles of use.

It's just that she doesn't have much time, otherwise she could have made some notes.

Xu Zhizhi pondered, spoke slowly, and took notes slowly afterwards.

There was also a virus program. Xu Zhizhi tried to explain the other party's ransomware to them first. After explaining it, she slowly began to explain her own.

There are also some hacker-related situations, such as how to screen and discover system vulnerabilities.

It is equivalent to telling everyone the principles of hacking technology.

This way, when these people fight back, they will understand how the other side does it.

It would definitely take more time to explain everything, so Xu Zhizhi picked out the key points and some offensive and defensive features.

They also communicated with Xu Zhizhi, and everyone chatted with each other.

Time passed quickly, and while everyone continued to chat, Qin Su led the team back.

Xu Zhizhi's eyes fell on the other person's figure, and then moved to the computer that the other person was holding.

"Where are the people?" Xu Zhizhi stood up and asked.

She didn't understand the procedure and wanted to ask whether the other party was detained directly.

Qin Su shook his head. "We didn't catch him. He realized you were tracking him. But we have collected fingerprints and other biological samples. We should be able to find out who he is."

It is now common to enter fingerprints into identity systems, and it is much easier to find people with fingerprints.

"Then we have to decrypt it ourselves," Xu Zhizhi was not surprised. Since the other party backed down, he must have discovered that Xu Zhizhi was tracking his specific address.

If you don't run away, you'd be stupid.

Qin Su and his men hurried over. If the search area was not big enough, they would easily leak the enemy out.

Qin Su looked at Xu Zhizhi, lowered his eyes and nodded, "Thank you for the trouble!"

"It's okay," Xu Zhizhi shook her head. Since it had already been done, she might as well let it go. She was not such a stingy person.

Of course, she would not be soft-hearted when making requests.

Qin Su suddenly felt a chill on his back, and then he fell silent.

Xu Zhizhi thought that since they had just given a lecture, now was a good time for them to try to understand virus decryption and hijacking.

She stood up with the cup and asked several people to sit down according to their seats.

She said, "Everyone is responsible for a part, and I will explain it to everyone."

Several people nodded, and Xu Zhizhi began to speak.

Qin Su and others put down their computers, and the entire action team just waited.

Decryption is much more difficult than creating a virus and tracking it. Even if Xu Zhizhi divides the work, it will still take a long time.

Qin Su is a capable criminal policeman. Being meticulous is his basic skill. He simply arranged for someone to serve them meals and dishes.

After delivering it to the office, let them finish eating before taking it away.

Everyone is serious and focused, and solving this case, which involves a huge amount of money and has a huge impact, will be a good thing for them.

After Xu Zhizhi finished her meal, the most thing she did was drink water.

Even so, they were busy from 4:30 in the afternoon to 8:00 in the evening.

Xu Zhizhi looked at her watch and thought that if she didn't get off work, she would have no free time.

The last one announced that the decryption was successful, exactly at eight o'clock.

There was a round of cheers and thanks to Xu Zhizhi.

The most important thing is that Xu Zhizhi also left them a decryption program, so that any hijacked electronic devices can be quickly decrypted and unlocked.

Qin Su looked at Xu Zhizhi, who looked tired, and took the initiative to say, "I'll take you back, take a rest first!"

If you have anything to say, let’s talk about it tomorrow.

"Okay, take me home!" She didn't plan to call Feng Jie because she also needed a rest.

Fortunately, she still has a day off tomorrow, so she can recharge her energy and get back to work the day after tomorrow.

After spending so much time in the entertainment industry, Xu Zhizhi seems to have learned to get used to high-intensity work and concentrate on it.

Xu Zhizhi walked in front and Qin Su walked behind.

Everyone else was tired, too. Concentrating for hours was more difficult than even a steely man could bear.

Eight hours is the limit for humans to work, but this limit is also mixed with time for slacking off. It is a fact that they are exhausted after more than four hours of high concentration without any catching any fish.

Qin Su sent Xu Zhizhi to the downstairs of the actors' apartment building, and then watched Xu Zhizhi leave.

After Xu Zhizhi turned her back to Qin Su and waved weakly goodbye, she entered the elevator with a tired body and a face that looked like a bereaved mother.

Qin Su felt extremely guilty. He thought that no matter what Xu Zhizhi asked for, he should give her a gift to express his gratitude.

Xu Zhizhi has been wearing that pearl ring for too long, and he thinks it's time to change it.

After thinking for a while, he turned the steering wheel and arrived at the most famous International Trade Center in the city.

Jiangshi is a first-tier city with various brands, and the International Trade Center is the most comprehensive.

He thought about it and walked straight to a famous luxury jewelry counter.

He has average aesthetic taste, but he knows that it is okay to buy expensive ones.

He didn't find a suitable ring and decided to look for something else.

Finally, he chose a pair of aquamarine earrings, which were as pure and beautiful as the ocean.

She is very much like Xu Zhizhi, pure beauty and a bit mysterious.

He pointed, signaled him to buy it, and then swiped the card.

He certainly wouldn't buy jewelry worth millions, because even if he could afford it, Xu Zhizhi would definitely not accept it, but tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands would be no problem.

Of course, it’s not that he can make money, his identity is just a criminal policeman, and it’s mainly because his grandparents are good at making money.

Even though they didn't like him and his dad's job as police officers, they never lacked money for them to spend and would give them a regular sum of money, not much from his dad but more from him.

His grandparents took care of the car and house he bought, so there was very little left. His salary was enough for him to spend, so he saved a lot of money.

He spends money on gifts without blinking an eye.

It is mainly suitable for Xu Zhizhi.

After swiping the card, he took the receipt out of the box and put it in his pocket.

After getting in the car, he reached out and removed the other outer packaging, leaving only a box and the earrings inside.

The next day, Xu Zhizhi slept until nine in the morning, ate some breakfast bought by Feng Jie, stretched her muscles a little, and then lay on the sofa to play with her mobile phone.

Feng Jie sat next to her and talked about some things happening in the entertainment industry.

Just like Lin Yu said before that Xu Zhizhi didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry, and instead learned about the entertainment industry with Yun Ziwei and then told Xu Zhizhi about it, Feng Jie also formed this habit after being with Xu Zhizhi for more than half a year.

She talked incessantly, telling some gossip in a vivid manner.

In fact, she heard these things from the stars she followed before, because no matter how busy they were, they would always pay attention to the entertainment industry trends and other miscellaneous things.

To get close to someone or even to accompany them, no matter whether they are men or women, the goal is to seek the best resources for themselves.

She was actually very troubled, because in order to obtain these resources, those people had to go to countless bars and clubs for socializing. As an assistant, she had to pick up her employers on a daily basis, as she had good fighting skills.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether the actor or actress wants to leave or stay.

This eventually led to her depression, and she even felt that the entire entertainment industry was probably like this.

She knew a little about Xu Zhizhi before she came to her side, but she didn't care. After all, the online personality is definitely different from the real personality, and there are even many people at two extremes.

Unexpectedly, after coming to Xu Zhizhi's side, she really realized that this was not the case.

It was the miasma of her previous circle, including Xu Zhizhi, but other actors and stars were not like that.

All they do every day is busy with work or take care of their own bodies and lives.

For example, Zhong Man, Zhou Ling, Weng Xin, as well as Xu Yunlai and Fu Nian from this crew.

Including the director and the crew, they only focus on one thing, making good TV series and movies.

For the first time, she felt that her work was enjoyable and fulfilling, so sometimes when people talked about gossip, she even found it funny.

Then he laughed out loud.

Of course, the most important thing is that the salary is very good working for Xu Zhizhi, and the workload is much lower than before.

What I am most concerned about is urging Xu Zhizhi to exercise and take care of her skin.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but reveal a shocked smile like a tiger again.

"Sister Jie, don't be like this, it's scary!" Xu Zhizhi was originally listening to gossip about a top star who had a secret meeting with a rich woman but was caught on camera by a big fan. Unexpectedly, she heard Feng Jie's laughter and said with a trembling voice.

Feng Jie laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, go on..."

Xu Zhizhi also laughed.

At this time, a message from Qin Su came to her mobile phone.

They are still looking for that person, and they also have to hand over mobile phones, computers and other things, so they are too busy today.

He also said that he had bought Xu Zhizhi a thank you gift and asked Xu Zhizhi to accept it.

Xu Zhizhi was a little curious, so she received the message about running errands.

She asked Feng Jie to help get it, and then she saw the gift.

Feng Jie knew the earrings and looked a little surprised. "How did you help them? The price of these earrings is almost 60,000 yuan."

"Well... it's a bit expensive, but considering the losses I recovered, it's not outrageous." Xu Zhizhi said while looking at the earrings.

Feng Jie widened her eyes. What on earth did Xu Zhizhi do?

Xu Zhizhi smiled faintly, accepted the gift and put it in the cabinet. These earrings are suitable for wearing with formal dresses, and she will wear them if the time is right.

Qin Su could afford the personal reward, so Xu Zhizhi accepted it without any psychological burden.

When she was drawing the profile, Xu Zhizhi had thought about not taking half of Qin Su's prize money, but she soon changed her mind because Qin Su told her that he was not short of money.

The price of the positioning ring was about the same as the earrings. Later, when Xu Zhizhi found out and was about to return it, Qin Su flatly refused.

If the other party thinks that it is just a gift and carries the attribute of gratitude, should he wear it back? Or is it impolite to give it to other girls or elders?

Qin Su sent a message asking if she had received it, and Xu Zhizhi said she had.

Some technical questions were also asked during the process, and Xu Zhizhi did not hesitate to provide remote guidance.

The damage was recovered, and it was time for them to catch the man.

Xu Zhizhi didn't want to focus on it anymore because she needed to lie down and have more rest.

Rest time always passes quickly, and Xu Zhizhi soon arrives at the filming day.

After a week of running-in, everyone has gained some initial confidence.

Xu Zhizhi began to act out the scene of making a phone call to surrender herself. She lowered her eyes to reveal half of her face in the surveillance video. She held the phone in her hand and trembled as she clicked on the broadcast.

After the call was connected, she trembled and said, "I... I killed someone... I killed my daughter... I want to turn myself in."

One side of her face showed fear, while the other side, which was not visible to the surveillance camera, had a sarcastic smile on her lips.

She said vaguely: "Where am I? I'm at home! I didn't move, and the child's body is still in the bathtub..."

Her eyes were dim and filled with self-destructive disgust.

She listened to the other party's words with difficulty, and it took her a long time to give the address.

After the other party indicated that someone would be there soon, Xu Xu slid off the sofa, squatted on the ground, holding his head and shoulders, twitching.

In fact, only other people knew that she was laughing, and she finally laughed out loud. Her laughter was extremely wild, sharp, ugly, and terrifying.

After she finished laughing, she stood up and staggered into the bathroom.

Then there were sharp cries and the sound of water splashing.

Xu Xu came out after four minutes, then calmly took out the surveillance camera, deleted the last part, and smashed and stepped on it.

Sweep it clean and dump it into the trash can.

When the police arrived, Xu Xu was pressed hard on the carpet and handcuffed.

The police rushed into the bathroom and came out a few minutes later, shaking their heads at the leading police officer.

Xu Xu's face was indifferent. She just murmured to herself, "Kill her, kill her! She doesn't want to live anymore!"

The crazy eyes were like a wild beast peeping in the darkness, full of horror of devouring human flesh and blood.

Many people at the scene had goosebumps all over their bodies. Xu Zhizhi really did it. With expressions and movements that didn't look exaggerated at all, as well as ordinary makeup, she managed to make everyone feel cold in their hearts.

"Click! It's passed, it's passed! No more reshoots!" Chu Lu said quickly.

Xu Zhizhi nodded. This scene has been reviewed twice, and this is the third time. It's not because she didn't act well, on the contrary, she acted too well.

Because the performance was so good, Chu Lu felt that she could express the emotions better, so she forced Xu Zhizhi to shoot it twice more.

The third time, Chu Lu felt that she had reached the peak and achieved perfection, only then did she say that everything was really ok.

Xu Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief when the prop handcuffs were released.

There was water on her body, and the costume she was going to wear next time was not this one, so she needed to change into it first.

The scene is now rearranged and the second male police officer is filmed searching for clues at the scene and discovering the surveillance camera fragments in the trash can.

After Xu Zhizhi changed her clothes, she dragged a chair and sat aside to watch.

It is normal to have repeated NGs for a shot or a scene.

The same is true on the set, where many eyes are staring at the actors, and the actors need a certain psychological quality to eliminate these distractions.

It is obvious that the second male lead, the police actor, is not a good actor. He does not have enough practical experience, makes frequent mistakes in positioning and has a stiff expression.

They may also look dazed for unknown reasons and make rather artificial movements.

These were some very common sense mistakes, and Chu Lu's expression gradually became impatient.

After another NG, she asked the other party to sit aside and she explained the play in detail.

Xu Yunlai sat next to Xu Zhizhi and whispered, "Will the makeup appointment start today?"

"Yeah," Xu Zhizhi nodded.

Wasn't this announced long ago? The crew didn't care about this, so Chu Lu took the time to take the makeup photos.

Xu Yunlai sat closer to Xu Zhizhi and whispered, "Do you know why Xiao Sheng performed so poorly?"

Fu Nian seemed to have supernatural powers. He appeared between the two of them and signaled Xu Yunlai to continue speaking with his eyes.

"I also found out through my agent. She was just wandering around doing nothing all day and accidentally heard Xiao Sheng talking on the phone."

"It seems that his agent called him, saying that a male lead role in an ancient idol drama adapted from a popular novel has become vacant. The production company has some relationship with his agent, and they said they are considering him. My agent said he is very interested, but you know, Director Chu does not accept abdication."

"Synchronizing drama" means shooting two or more movies or TV series at the same time. Some people in the circle have done this before because they want to make money as quickly as possible.

But for the director, such behavior is irresponsible.

It's not a question of whether you are in acting condition or not, but if you are really tired of acting, and if your role is scheduled, will you just say you are too busy to do it?

Or does the crew have to choose to negotiate the schedule with you, or stop everything and wait for you?

Fu Nian slightly widened his eyes, "So, because there are better plays, he is restless? Does he want to be kicked out of the crew by Director Chu?"

"He took the initiative to terminate the contract! He probably doesn't want to pay the penalty." Xu Zhi knew.

Their contracts all have agreed upon liquidated damages, including zero pay.

But Xu Zhizhi didn’t, because she had invested in the movie, and a normal person wouldn’t let her investment go to waste.

Xu Yunlai tilted his head and looked at Xu Zhizhi, "I feel like Zhizhi knows the truth about you."

Fu Nian also nodded in agreement. No wonder the performance was so exaggerated and uncomfortable! It turned out that he did this on purpose in order to get the contract terminated.

"Then again, actually the penalty for breach of contract is not that much for Xiao Sheng! After the increase, his salary is 200,000. The penalty for breach of contract was only agreed to be three times, which is 600,000. The TV series he starred in last year was a small hit. If he wants to climb up the social ladder, 600,000 should be enough for him." Fu Nian asked puzzledly.

Xu Zhizhi spread her hands. She was not sure about this.

However, this matter must be discussed with Chu Lu. Since Xu Yunlai said that he was attracted to her, he would definitely ask for termination of the contract when he found out that Chu Lu would not let go.

After telling Chu Lu, she will be prepared when the time comes.

At least you can't say it out loud, and a penalty of 600,000 is required.

But Xu Zhizhi was also curious and looked at Xu Yunlai, "Ancient puppet drama? The one called 'The Thousand Gold Smiles'?

"The original novel of 'The Thousand Gold Smiles' is very popular. It is a famous fairy-tale romance novel. This time it has been adapted into an ancient idol drama. Many people are eyeing the position. The male lead was originally chosen, but unexpectedly there is another vacancy." Xu Yunlai said: "I think Xiao Sheng will not hesitate for two days. After two days, the news will spread and this person will be moved."

Xu Zhizhi nodded and patted Xu Yunlai on the shoulder, "My good friend, I owe you a meal!"

She is an investor, and it is important for her to take the initiative in matters like this.

"What kind of relationship do we have?" Xu Yunlai patted his chest.

If it weren't for Xu Zhizhi, "Black Crow" would never have been completed or released on video platforms, and her life might have been in danger.

After Xu Zhizhi knew the truth, she did not run away, but insisted on catching the person.

In the end, "Black Crow" became a small hit, and they made a lot of money after they gained some fame.

So Xu Zhizhi and Fu Nian are friends!

Fu Nian also nodded.

Xu Zhizhi chuckled, "Yes, we are not close at all!"

Xu Zhizhi and the others watched Xiao Sheng act up quietly again, gritting their teeth with a heavy heart, but they didn't say that he didn't want to shoot anymore.

Xu Zhizhi told Chu Lu about the incident while he was filming.

Chu Lu's face darkened immediately. She hated people who were full of calculations and wanted everything. If you want to go, just be frank. Maybe you can get a reputation as a daring person.

Now he wasted her time, hoping that she would speak first and leave without any loss. The crew had to burn money every day, with labor, location, time, and everything else. He also had to reshoot everything he had already filmed. The longer he delayed, the greater the loss of the crew.

Thinking of this, Chu Lu's face turned pale.

Seeing this, Xu Zhizhi came up with an idea and asked Chu Lu to directly release the news that the male lead of "The Thousand Gold Smiles" had resigned.

This person will definitely be unable to sit still, and the crew will suffer less loss, and the penalty for breach of contract can barely make up for the loss.

Chu Lu patted Xu Zhizhi, then took out her phone, contacted people she knew, and made the resignation a hot topic.

I have to say, this trick is really bad.

Within ten minutes, Xiao Sheng's assistant rushed to Xiao Sheng and told him the whole story in a panic.

Xiao Sheng's originally worried face turned into one full of anxiety. He immediately stood up and looked at Chu Lu. After thinking for a moment, he walked towards Chu Lu.

"Director Chu, I have something to discuss with you," he said, glancing at Xu Zhizhi, signaling that she didn't need to listen.

Xu Zhizhi didn't move. She was an investor, so why couldn't she listen?

Chu Lu obviously thought so too. She looked at Xiao Sheng and said, "You know Xu Zhizhi's identity. If you have something to say, just say it directly!"

Xiao Sheng thought for a while and made up a lie that he felt he couldn't play the role, and said he wanted to hone his acting skills and hoped that Chu Lu would be kind enough to terminate the contract peacefully.

"I feel that my acting skills are not good enough and I am not suitable for this role, so I hope to terminate the contract." Xiao Sheng muttered for a long time and refused to admit that he wanted to be the male lead.

Xu Zhizhi's expression was calm; she had expected this.

Chu Lu was the same, and didn't seem surprised by his words. She looked directly at Xiao Sheng and said, "Just pay me, not a penny less. I'll have a lawyer come over and we'll officially terminate the contract."

"I had no choice...what?" Xiao Sheng was stunned. He thought Chu Lu would try to keep him, and he had already thought of how to refuse politely.

After all, his acting skills were remarkable before, and his resolute and handsome appearance was very suitable for the role of the second male lead. The other party was extremely satisfied with choosing him at that time.

Unexpectedly, there was nothing at all, on the contrary it was extremely neat and clean.

It was so smooth that Xiao Sheng felt a little uncomfortable.

Chu Lu was not a cunning person. She did not choose to talk about this matter. Instead, she smiled and said, "I have always been decisive. If you think you are not capable, I agree. I hope you can hone your acting skills after you go back."

"...Ah! Um..." Xiao Sheng's expression became extremely aggrieved when he heard Chu Lu's words, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes almost overflowed from his eyes. Chu Lu was really too much. He just made up a lie casually, but this person actually said it seriously.

Xu Zhizhi sat aside, watching with great interest.

This guy's expression is so interesting. On the one hand, he made an excuse that his acting was not good enough, and on the other hand, he felt uncomfortable when others affirmed his excuse.

It's exactly the same as his own personality of wanting everything, which is really annoying.

Now that the discussion was over, Chu Lu was happy. The lawyer came, paid the money, and signed the termination agreement directly.

Xiao Sheng was so upset that his face turned blue the whole time, which made everyone laugh.

Chu Lu watched him leave, then took out her phone, "Hello, Uncle Jiang? I heard that the male lead of the script you chose resigned. I want to recommend someone to you..."

She spoke in a familiar tone and recommended a male actor who was quite popular in the entertainment industry and had good acting skills.

After the other party agreed, she smiled, exchanged some pleasantries, and hung up the phone.

"Great job, Director Chu!" Xu Zhizhi gave a thumbs up. This was how you kill someone without shedding blood.

Xiao Sheng was really brave. Not only did he dare to delay Chu Lu's progress, he also dared to make up a lie to fool Chu Lu.

Maybe he didn't think Chu Lu would know about this.

Chu Lu patted Xu Zhizhi on the shoulder and said, "You should call me Aunt Chu. When we're not filming, we don't have to be so unfamiliar with each other!"

"Aunt Chu!" Xu Zhizhi followed suit and called out very sweetly.

Chu Lu smiled when she called out to her, patted Xu Zhizhi on the shoulder and left.

She let Xu Zhizhi know about this matter, just like how Xu Zhizhi had acted before and how she told her now.

But the difference is that she is already middle-aged and is more ruthless than a young girl like Xu Zhizhi.

It is normal for the other party to lose everything if they are too eager to get what they want.

If this kind of person really gets promoted, he will only become more powerful.

Her penalty for breach of contract is indeed lower than other annoying ones, but it does not mean that breach of contract really has no cost.

What's more, he was the one who deliberately delayed her progress and caused her costs to increase dramatically.

After Xu Zhizhi returned, he learned from Yun Ziwei that Xiao Sheng immediately rushed to the crew but found that the director had decided on the male lead a few minutes before he went to look for him, against all odds.

No matter how hard he and his agent tried, there was nothing they could do. Not only was his fame there, but also because his opponents were much better than him in terms of appearance and business ability.

After everything went wrong, Xiao Sheng reportedly went crazy with his agent.

But that’s all in the past. The top priority for Xu Zhizhi and the crew is to find a suitable second male lead.

The pay is not high enough, and there are certain requirements for acting skills, so it is difficult to find someone even for a good second male lead role.

Just when Xu Zhizhi was worried, Lin Yu called and asked Xu Zhizhi if there was any chance of introduction.

The male actors under her meet Xu Zhizhi's requirements very well.

The other party is also in a window period, so you can give it a try.

After Xu Zhizhi asked Chu Lu, she agreed to audition.

Because of Xiao Sheng's incident, the crew took a half-day break.

Xu Zhizhi also wanted to invite Xu Yunlai and Fu Nian to dinner. Why was Fu Nian included? Of course, it was because the two of them became a couple.

We fell in love on a set last year and are now in a passionate relationship.

But I didn't expect that before I made the call and was still thinking about which restaurant to go to, I received a call from Qin Su.

Qin Su spoke very quickly, with a hint of anger at being teased, "That man has been like a loach these past two days, always knowing our actions a little earlier, which makes it impossible to catch him. Now he has appeared again, deliberately attacking the servers of some Internet companies and organizations, affecting many people."

"There's a reward, come?"

Xu Zhizhi lowered her eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead! I'm looking forward to meeting him face to face!" She wanted to meet this genius hacker and see whether his system was tough or he was just tough.

She had a feeling that this attack was a challenge from the other side.
