"This is your film crew's location, but I have the largest controlling stake in the entire crew, so is there a problem with me coming in?"
Upon hearing Lu Zheng's words, the people around him fell silent.
The director next to him was the first to react, and quickly nodded and smiled.
"Mr. Lu, you are certainly qualified. Please come in with me."
As he spoke, the director was about to lead Lu Zheng into the monitoring room.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng waved his hand and lit a cigarette without caring at all.
"My two eyes can't compare to the discerning eyes of the masses. Just expose the surveillance footage to everyone."
Seeing Lu Zheng arrive at the crucial moment, Qiao Zhen felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but looking at the pensive and unnatural expression on the side next to her, she already had a decision in mind.
“Mr. Lu…” Chen Si’s face turned a little pale, and he couldn’t help but say, “There’s no need to check the surveillance footage, right? Just let that person admit their mistake anonymously, and then return the earring. Wouldn’t that make everything a happy ending?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng shook his head.
"How can this be allowed? We've been dealing with this for so long, and the thief hasn't shown up. This means he has no intention of returning it."
"Let's check the surveillance footage."
Hearing Lu Zheng's aggressive tone, the pensive man's face grew paler and paler. The director next to him couldn't refuse Lu Zheng, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, "I understand."
Soon, the director pulled up the surveillance video from earlier, but Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Put the surveillance video on the screen so that everyone can see it and make a judgment."
Upon hearing this, Chen Si could no longer contain herself. She rushed forward and deleted the surveillance page.
"Forget it, the earrings are gone, it's not a big deal. I can just plead with the brand myself."
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Miss Chen, weren't you quite aggressive when you said I lost the necklace? Why have you suddenly changed your tune?"
Hearing this, Chen Si looked a little embarrassed, but still said, "I've thought it through. There's no need to be so unforgiving. It's just an earring; I don't need it."
"Is that so?" Lu Zheng, standing beside him, curled the corners of his mouth: "Before I arrived, to avoid any unfairness, I recorded the conversation in advance and had a full voice call with the relevant person in charge of your earring brand."
Upon hearing this, the person who had been deep in thought paused for a few seconds before stammering, "You... what did you say?"
Lu Zheng didn't repeat himself, but instead gave her a sneer.
Many of the staff members nearby were gloating, waiting to see the foolish man in deep thought.
Lost in thought, Lu Zheng took out his phone. The person on the other end of the line said apologetically, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry you had to see this."
"It's nothing. I'm honored to help you solve your problem."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Zheng hung up the phone. Before leaving, he glanced at Qiao Zhen one last time: "Is there anything else that hasn't been resolved?"
Qiao Zhen immediately shook her head: "No."
"Okay." Lu Zheng nodded. "Remember to come back early after you finish work."
After saying that, he left the film set.
The staff members nearby had also had their fill of gossip, and their gazes toward Qiao Zhen now held a hint of admiration.
After all, not everyone has the ability to confront a thoughtful person face-to-face.
Meanwhile, Chen Si also received a phone call shortly afterward.
"Ms. Shen, we are very sorry, but due to your personal reasons, we have chosen to terminate the contract. We hope you understand."
Upon hearing this, Chen Si disregarded the fact that they were on set and immediately shouted, "What do you mean? It's just a pair of earrings, why are you terminating your contract?"
"Feel sorry……"
Qiao Zhen didn't hear the rest of the phone call clearly. She was also afraid of losing face again, so she covered her phone and walked away.
"Miss Qiao, you weren't frightened, were you?"
Just then, Xiao Zhang walked over with an apologetic look on his face and asked her with concern.
"It's okay, she didn't hurt me."
Seeing Chen Si acting so aggressively, Qiao Zhen thought that she had bullied her.
"That's good. I'm really sorry about earlier. I wanted to speak up for you, but I'm just a nobody in the crew and my voice doesn't carry any weight."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen didn't blame Xiao Zhang. Instead, she patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay. It's more important to do your job. There's no need to accommodate me in everything."
After this incident, no one dared to provoke Qiao Zhen anymore. During a break, Qiao Zhen sat alone eating and sent a message to Qiao Luosheng.
"How was your day? Did anyone come looking for trouble?"
Qiao Luosheng, who was eating bread on the other side, saw the message, looked up at Qiao Zhen, and then quickly typed out a message.
"It's okay, I'm very safe. I don't think anyone is paying attention to me."
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen replied with satisfaction: "That's good. Don't overwork yourself. After all, you're just exercising."
Qiao Luosheng finished his bread and was about to throw away some trash when he suddenly bumped into Chen Si, who was also passing by, with a bang.
Chen Si was already in a bad mood after losing the endorsement, and now seeing this summer job that was forced into her cause her even more anger.
"What are you doing with your eyes open? How dare you bump into me?"
He shouted fiercely, covering his forehead and glaring at him.
Qiao Luosheng's chest ached from the impact, but after recognizing Shen Si, he suppressed his anger and said very politely, "I'm sorry, Miss Qiao, I accidentally bumped into you. I apologize to you."
Chen Si was surprised that Qiao Luosheng was so polite. After pausing for two seconds, he pretended to be reluctant and said, "Alright, since you're also a summer worker, I won't make things difficult for you. Go and get busy."
Seeing Qiao Luosheng's humble and obedient demeanor, I felt a great mood and couldn't help but look at Qiao Luosheng for a while longer.
But upon closer inspection, she noticed something was amiss.
The more I think about it, the more familiar this face seems.
Just then, Qiao Zhen's face suddenly flashed through Chen Si's mind, and he realized the problem.
How come the two of them look so alike?
Moreover, upon reflection, it became clear that the two people actually shared the same surname.
Seeing this, Chen Si couldn't help but smirk smugly, and took out his phone to dial his assistant's number.
"Investigate the relationship between Qiao Zhen and Qiao Luosheng. Notify me immediately if there is any progress."
After hanging up the phone, a hint of amusement flashed across his pensive face.
Qiao Zhen relied on Lu Zheng to suppress him, so Chen Si could use something else to turn the tables on Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen, who was not far away, naturally noticed the farce that the two had just had. After Chen Si walked away, she jogged over to Qiao Luosheng's side.
What just happened?
Seeing Qiao Zhen's worried expression, Qiao Luosheng couldn't help but grin: "It's okay, sis. That woman just scolded me and then let me go. She didn't pursue the matter any further."
"Can this be considered solely your problem?"
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel anxious. She pondered how he could let her brother, who had treated her so badly, swallow this insult.
"It's really nothing, sis. It's just apologizing to him. I don't want to cause any trouble."
Seeing how sensible Qiao Luosheng was, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but sigh.
