Chapter 786 Xu Qingya Calls (Part 2)
"Thank you, Master's wife~" The little girl squatted beside her obediently.
Fang Tong, who was sitting behind the camera, reviewed the scenes that had just been filmed and frowned. "Except for Xiao Qi, the performances of the other main actors still have flaws. After work tonight, let's have a small meeting and read the script together. Xiao Qi, when you don't have any scenes, please help guide them."
Because of Fang Tong's words of "helping with guidance", Ruan Qi was completely attached to several leading actors in the crew.
The main actors in "City of Youth" were all young people, so there was no barrier between them. Several of them kept calling "Teacher Ruan" all the time, and would cling to Ruan Qi whenever they had nothing to do, begging for her guidance on their acting.
Ruan Qi was in a state of confusion and her life on the crew was in dire straits.
During this time when Ruan Qi was in dire straits, several major events happened outside the crew.
The first big thing is to make medicine from Qi Mu.
Qi Mu Pharmaceutical successfully won the bid in the military bidding and reached a long-term cooperation with the military department where Jiang Yan was located.
This collaboration has rapidly elevated Qimu Pharmaceutical's position in the pharmaceutical industry. Originally, Qimu was considered a relatively influential online pharmaceutical company, but now, it has successfully transformed into a well-known pharmaceutical brand.
Because of this, the products of Daxian store were sold out again and sales increased rapidly.
As the second-in-command of Qimu Pharmaceutical, Nie Heng and Yu Jinxiu were overjoyed at the company's current situation. After discussing it with Ruan Qi, they finally decided to open a branch.
Originally, due to limited pharmaceutical production, the Daxian Store only had a few branches in cities near the imperial capital. But now, with the puppets gifted by the Baili artifact, pharmaceutical production is no longer a problem. Even if a dozen more branches are opened, the inventory is more than enough.
Therefore, the matter of opening a branch began to be planned with great fanfare.
Qimu Medicine is thriving.
In contrast, there is the Cheng family in the imperial capital.
Ever since Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu returned to the imperial capital, they have been secretly targeting the Cheng family's assets. Previously, the Cheng family was guarded by Cheng Jinyan, and even if the company was corrupt, it could still be managed steadily by Cheng Jinyan.
But now, Cheng Jinyan has left the Cheng family. The pillar of the Cheng family's business is gone, and the other descendants of the Cheng family are unable to support it. Coupled with the secret sniping of Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu, the Cheng family, a behemoth that has long been rotten from the inside, began to collapse at an incredible speed.
In the past month, more than a dozen brands under Cheng’s umbrella have declared bankruptcy.
Cheng’s stock has been volatile and has hit the daily limit three times in a row.
Cheng Qi, the patriarch of the Cheng family, had no choice but to personally take charge of the headquarters. However, the internal problems of the Cheng family were too serious, and the offensive of Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu was extremely fierce. Even if Cheng Qi was a Daluo immortal, he could not save the Cheng family from its decline.
Cheng Qi was forced to call Cheng Jinyan in a humble manner, hoping that he could come back to take charge of the situation.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Jinyan, who always respected his elders, blocked Cheng Qi's phone number! Not only that, but even the several companies owned by Cheng Jinyan refused to allow Cheng Qi and his family to enter!
Cheng Jinyan's ruthless move completely confused Cheng Qi.
My eldest grandson was obviously very obedient before, why did he get blocked?
Could it be that he really wants to sever ties with the Cheng family?
Cheng Qi had never taken Cheng Jinyan's departure from the Cheng family seriously because in his opinion, Cheng Jinyan would never be willing to give up such a large business of the Cheng family and set up his own business.
But now, Cheng Qi is not sure.
He was a little panicked and began to look for people to contact Cheng Jinyan. But Cheng Jinyan seemed determined to cut off contact with the Cheng family, and no matter what method he used, he could not get in touch with him.
This time, Cheng Qi was furious.
Cheng Jinyan was clearly his grandson, but he blocked him and turned a blind eye to the crisis of the Cheng family.
This is extremely unfilial!
!
"Cheng Qi announced a few days ago that he no longer wanted me as his grandson. He's trying to force me to return to the Cheng family."
During the crew's lunch break, Ruan Qi, who had just finished her meal, lazily lay on a folding chair.
She held up her phone, and on the other end of the line was Cheng Jinyan's low, pleasant voice: "He has been trying every way to contact me recently, but I ignored him. The Cheng family is such a mess, only a fool would be willing to go back."
It was rare for a man who was always calm and steady to say something witty. Ruan Qi laughed and agreed very cooperatively, "Big brother is right. Let's not be fools."
Cheng Jinyan was pleased by the little girl's word "we".
His tone became increasingly gentle, and he whispered, "Are you used to being on set? Are you tired? I wanted to visit the set, but the Cheng family has been pestering me lately. I was afraid they would follow me to the set and cause you trouble, so I didn't go."
Ruan Qi sensed the slight resentment in her brother's tone and smiled to comfort him, "I'm doing well on the crew, and everyone is taking good care of me. Big brother, you're so busy with work, so don't come all the way here. If you miss me, you can video chat with me."
"Is it okay?" Cheng Jinyan's tone was filled with obvious surprise. "Will it delay your work?"
Ruan Qi: "No~ I'll send you my work schedule later. As long as it's not filming time, I'm free."
Cheng Jinyan happily responded "OK".
Ever since meeting Ruan Qi, the usually reserved Cheng has been talking more every day. He used to seldom text or chat on the phone, but now, he's been sending Ruan Qi 800 WeChat messages a day and talking on the phone 24/7.
Cheng Jinyan kept on nagging Ruan Qi about many things on the phone, and he looked so worried that he seemed to want to fly to the crew in person to take care of her.
"You don't have to worry about the capital. Second Uncle and Second Aunt are very powerful. The Cheng family is no match for them. But Xiaoqi, have the Cheng family harassed you recently?"
Ruan Qi had previously had some issues with the Liu family, and had recorded a video of the Liu family making outrageous remarks. In that video, the Liu family's descendants talked about the Cheng family, saying things like, "The Cheng family can walk all over the imperial capital."
A few days ago, the Cheng family came several times to get her to delete the video. But Ruan Qi wanted to use the video to lure Xu Qingya out, so she kept the Cheng family hanging and refused to give in.
"A while ago, He Yun from the third branch of the Cheng family came to see me, but I pissed him off. The Cheng family hasn't contacted me in the past two weeks, but I think Xu Qingya and Cheng Qi are getting impatient."
The Cheng family is currently in turmoil, and Cheng Qi is overwhelmed by the need to maintain the business. At a time like this, the Cheng family fears someone adding fuel to the fire.
If Ruan Qi had posted that video online at this point, the online comments like "The Cheng family can walk all over the capital" would have surely infuriated netizens. For the Cheng family, this would have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
Therefore, for the safety of the Cheng family, Xu Qingya and Cheng Qi would not let her have the video in her hands.
And the development of things was just as Ruan Qi expected.
The very next day after she spoke with Cheng Jinyan, a call came from an unfamiliar number.
"I'm Xu Qingya, Madam Cheng. Miss Ruan, please meet me when you have time."
