Followed by.

........................................

at this time.

Magic City.

Pudong New Area.

The Shanghai World Financial Center building.

Inside the president's office of Jiaxing Entertainment.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sun shines brightly.

Golden light pierced through the transparent glass and quietly spilled onto the smooth tabletop.

At the desk.

Yang Mi was sitting back in the boss's chair.

Looking at the tablet screen placed in front of me.

She felt as if dark clouds were gathering overhead.

That oppressive and stifling feeling made her feel a tightness in her chest.

Even breathing became somewhat difficult.

She had just finished a demanding morning meeting in the conference room.

I was holding a cup of hand-drip coffee, hoping to take this brief break and give my brain a rest.

result.

As soon as I turned on the internet, I saw this overwhelming amount of outrageous news.

Extend your slender fingers.

She swiped down on the tablet screen with some frustration.

Hilarious comments from netizens flooded in like a tidal wave.

Looking at those glaring keywords that were pushed high and firmly occupied the trending search list.

I glanced again at the company's ban that had been secretly screenshotted and posted online by an internal employee.

That red-headed document with a white background and black lettering, stamped with the official seal of Jiaxing Entertainment.

This was accompanied by a netizen's insightful comment below: "How can these two words form a sentence?"

Yang Mi's lips twitched a few times.

I was speechless.

This is practically a public execution of her.

As a legitimate and well-known entertainment agency in the industry.

Now, in the eyes of netizens across the internet, it has become a bizarre institution that specializes in cultivating outlaws.

The fact that they could issue such an unprecedented gambling ban shows how utterly shameful the company has become.

She couldn't bear to watch any longer.

I took a deep breath.

He turned off the tablet's screen and pushed it aside.

He then closed the laptop on the table.

A soft "snap" sound.

The sound of the door closing was particularly clear in the quiet office, carrying a sense of unease and agitation.

She closed her eyes.

He raised his hands and supported his chin.

That face of a strong woman, usually adorned with exquisite makeup and radiating confidence.

At this moment, I am filled with unbearable sorrow and helplessness.

How could it have turned out like this?

Such a thought came to her mind.

His chest rose and fell slightly.

She felt that Li Mo'an was simply too much of a worry for her.

This is a walking trouble-making machine.

As long as you don't keep your eyes on it for even a little while.

The other party can easily create a major event that would make the entire public relations department lose their hair overnight.

In my mind.

I couldn't help but recall the scene from our previous phone call.

That is, just two days ago.

I'm sitting in this position myself.

This was all for the sake of getting him into the film crew for shooting.

On the phone, he gave his nephew countless instructions and reminders.

Tell him not to cause any more trouble and to stay quietly in the village.

At that time.

What did that brat say to her?

The other party solemnly assured that he would never cause trouble.

He even said it in an extremely sincere tone.

He's an honest man who doesn't talk much.

Recalling those words, Yang Mi felt her teeth itch.

Even if it was just over the phone at the time.

She could imagine it all.

When the other party made this guarantee, his handsome face must have maintained his signature calm expression.

That kind of peace that makes you feel like you're a truly law-abiding citizen, and that you take everything for granted.

But the result?

How long has it been?

He had just made that solemn promise, saying that he was an honest man.

He was then accused of the outrageous crime of teaching people how to gamble.

He was immediately taken to the police station in a police car overnight!

This guy is a magnet for trending topics.

It's practically toxic!

When other celebrities trend on social media, it's either because of their fashion sense or because of their scandals and gossip.

Our own is much better.

The way they trend on social media is always so unique.

He knocked out a wanted criminal with a brick, dug up an unexploded bomb in the back mountain, and went abroad to hold a meeting with drug dealers.

just now.

He was even arrested for gambling.

Is this something an entertainer in the entertainment industry should do?

This is clearly a regular guest on the legal channel trying to boost their sales figures!

Yang Mi felt that all the composure she had accumulated in her life had been completely consumed by this nephew.

That peculiar way of thinking that lacks sufficient awareness of danger is what drives people crazy.

Encountering a case involving such a serious crime that could ruin one's career.

Everyone else was already terrified and in despair.

He is fine.

There was not a trace of panic.

After getting out of the police station, he could still comfort himself on the phone with that nonchalant tone.

It's all a misunderstanding, don't worry.

Yang Mi sat in a chair.

He sighed deeply.

He shook his head repeatedly.

I felt incredibly exhausted, as if all my strength had been drained away.

Just as she was resting her chin on her hand, sighing deeply with a worried expression.

The edge of the desk.

The screen of her personal cell phone suddenly lit up.

Followed by.

The fuselage emitted a series of extremely high-frequency vibrations.

The buzzing sound spread rapidly across the solid wood table.

Then.

A crisp ringtone sounded.

It pierced the silence in the office.

This sudden sound.

This caused Yang Mi's body to tense up instinctively.

She swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva.

Slowly turn your head.

My gaze swept across the table and landed on the constantly vibrating phone.

I glanced at the caller ID on the screen.

Just one glance.

Yang Mi's pupils contracted slightly.

It was as if the person had been frozen in place.

They stood there, stunned and frozen.

The names flashing on the screen.

The three characters were clearly displayed: Wang Sanri.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a call from Wang Sanri, the director of the movie "Gambling Tactics"!

The moment I saw the name clearly.

Instantly.

Yang Mi felt as if she had swallowed a mouthful of bitter melon.

The bitter taste instantly spread throughout my mouth, traveling down my esophagus and reaching deep into my heart.

She felt her heart skip a beat.

My palms were already covered in cold sweat without me even realizing it.

Trouble has finally come knocking.

To know.

This was no ordinary polite phone call.

At this critical juncture, when the company was in the spotlight due to the gambling scandal, Fatty Wang called personally.

Even a fool could guess what it was about.

The floodgates of memory were forcibly pushed open once again.

She recalled the difficult negotiation process she had gone through to secure the role for Li Mo'an.

then.

Director Wang Pangzi saw the news that Li Mo'an had dug up a bomb in the Mushroom House.

Film crews are always particular about auspicious start dates and pay attention to feng shui.

Director Wang felt that the constant discovery of explosives was extremely unlucky.

The other party immediately backed out, making it clear on the phone that they didn't want to use this person anymore.

Yang Mi still clearly remembers the director's original words.

"Boss Yang, this kid is too weird. What if he causes trouble on set again? Will I still be able to film this movie?"

What did I do at that time?

She put aside her airs as the boss of an entertainment company.

No matter how much you try to persuade them, they won't listen.

I gave away countless smiles.

I spent a long time on the phone trying to persuade them.

They barely managed to secure a supporting role for that scoundrel Li Heiquan in the movie "The Art of Gambling".

And the most fatal thing is...

At the time, it was to calm the director down.

She personally patted her chest and made a firm promise on the phone.

She promised.

My nephew, whom I've taken for granted, will definitely be fine this time.

We will absolutely not cause any more trouble that would affect the filming schedule.

That promise was made with great conviction at the time.

But now?

How long has this guarantee lasted?

All things considered.

It hasn't even been a day!

Li Mo'an, that bastard.

He turned around and, without any hesitation, created this big news story that landed him in jail!

and.

This is no longer a random physical event like digging out a bomb.

This involves gambling.

He was taken directly from the village by a police car and taken to the police station for interrogation.

It even caused a huge uproar online, dominating all the trending topics.

For a movie called "Gambling Techniques".

The performer was arrested for teaching people gambling techniques.

If this gets out, what will people think?

This is like dancing in a minefield; one wrong step and you're doomed.

For a film crew about to start shooting, such negative public opinion is nothing short of a disaster.

Inside the office.

A gentle breeze was blowing from the air conditioner's vents.

The personal cell phone was still vibrating incessantly on the table.

I stared at my constantly ringing phone.

Yang Mi felt a chill run down her spine.

My temples started throbbing along with it.

She bit her pink lips.

I really wanted to pretend I didn't hear it and just flip the phone over and put it face down on the table.

But reason told her that she absolutely could not run away.

As the head of Jiaxing Entertainment, and as that brat's boss and elder.

She has to deal with this mess.

She took a deep breath.

Try to calm down the emotions churning in your chest.

His chest heaved.

She raised her hand and rubbed her cheeks vigorously.

I forcibly adjusted my facial expression.

Even though she knew perfectly well that the other person couldn't see her face over the phone.

But instinctively, she managed to force a slightly ingratiating, apologetic smile.

It was as if only in this way could they appear more sincere in the ensuing conversation.

then.

She stretched out her slightly trembling fingers and reached towards the phone screen.

And in those few short seconds when your finger is suspended in mid-air, ready to answer the phone.

Her brain started working at full speed.

Brain cells are being consumed relentlessly.

She was thinking anxiously.

Trying to find a reason to talk about something in a desperate situation.

How should I say it?

What kind of excuse can be used to change the director's mind about replacing the actor?

If Director Wang immediately and bluntly demands to terminate the contract...

How should I refute this?

Option 1: Explain that this is merely cooperating with the police investigation and that there is no actual criminal involvement?

No, that explanation is too weak. The trending topics clearly state that it was caused by the "God of Gamblers" short story, and the director definitely won't buy it.

Option two, that he was experiencing life for the film, and deeply immersing himself in the role?

Although this reason sounds very far-fetched, even a bit ridiculous, it's the only option we can try.

At worst, we can give up some of our publicity profits and pour resources into keeping the role.

No matter the cost.

She still wanted to try her best for her adopted nephew.

After all, the role was hard-won, and it can't be given up so easily.

With this tragic and heroic spirit of facing death.

Her finger landed on the screen.

Swipe right.

I pressed the answer button.

Pick up the phone and hold it tightly to your ear.

She swallowed hard.
