Chapter 152 Director Cheng is very angry, the consequences are serious
"I took it off just now and gave you the necklace! I even watched you put it in the safe, how come it's gone now?"
The lamb was so anxious that tears welled up in his eyes.
"But the problem is that there is none." The person in charge of Meiqing'er's studio was a skinny man. He said, "Are you sure you really gave it to us?"
The lamb said, "Of course I am sure, I gave it to you just after I took it off, otherwise where else would the necklace be?"
The person in charge of the studio: "But if you gave it to us, how come we can't find the necklace?"
The lamb was speechless:
"How should I know? Anyway, I have already given it to you. If you can't find it now, it's your problem. Where did you put it?"
"We put the necklace in the safe as soon as we got it, but it wasn't in the safe when we checked just now. If you had given it to us, there's no way we wouldn't have found it."
Little Lamb: "What do you mean? Do you suspect that we didn't give it to you? Do you suspect that we hid it on purpose? Do you suspect that we lost it?"
The person in charge of the studio said: "I'm not doubting you. The problem is that the necklace is missing now, and it was indeed given to your artist before. How about this, you identify who you gave the necklace to, and we'll look for it."
"it is good!"
Xiaoyang tapped her feet and searched among the crowd. Soon, she found the person she had just handed over to. She said:
"It's her!"
She walked forward, grabbed the person, and said, "I just gave it to her."
The person in charge of the set turned around and asked, "Is that you?"
The man shook his head, looking innocent and exaggerated: "Brother Zhang, no, she didn't give it to me."
The lamb was anxious: "Why didn't I give it to you? Just now."
She gave a long list of details to support her words, trying to evoke the other person's memory, but the other person just said: "No, really not, you really didn't give it to me, I'm not in charge of this, did you remember it wrongly?"
"You!" The lamb looked at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe that she would say such a thing. It was clearly something that happened, how could she deny it so brazenly?
She was so anxious that she turned around and looked around, and finally she found another person.
She stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "He saw it just now. He also saw it when I gave it to her just now. He was there, so he must have seen it."
The lamb looked at him eagerly, hoping that he would say something beneficial to her.
The man who was pulled out broke free from her pull as if avoiding a snake or scorpion, and said:
"No, I didn't see it. I was just organizing the props. I didn't see anything."
"You!" The lamb looked around, looking at every pair of eyes, as if she could sense the malice from everyone. She collapsed and said:
"I clearly gave it to you, why are you pretending not to see it?! I know it, you must have teamed up to frame me!"
The person in charge of the studio said, "Don't worry, you may have remembered it wrongly. You really didn't give it to me. Think again and think about where you put it."
Little Lamb: "It's not here with me! Is there a surveillance camera? I want to see it!"
The person in charge of the studio shook his head: "We are filming in secret here, so there is no surveillance."
"You, you!" Xiaoyang fell into great fear. She walked to Yan Gou'er and said, "Yan Yan, I really gave it to you. You must believe me. I really didn't take it."
If the necklace was lost and Yan Gou'er didn't believe it, she would probably be burdened with a debt that would be difficult to repay, and her life would be over.
But fortunately, Yan Gouer gave her comfort.
Yan Gou'er patted her shoulder and said softly, "I believe you. If you said you gave it to me, then you definitely gave it to me."
After taking off the necklace, she went to shoot other scenes, so she did not see the handover process of Xiaoyang, but she believed that Xiaoyang would not deceive her about this matter, and Xiaoyang did not have such bad intentions.
The lamb burst into tears:
"Thank you Yanyan, I knew you would believe me. They are lying."
The person in charge of the studio said:
"Teacher Yan Gou'er, first of all, I'm very sorry that something like this happened on our set, but our necklace is indeed lost, and it's the Heart of Water Blue. You can understand that this is a luxury necklace made for our 100th anniversary. It's extremely expensive and has great significance to our brand, so we need your cooperation to find it."
Yan Gou'er stared into his eyes and asked coldly:
"How can we cooperate?"
The person in charge of the studio: "Maybe we need to unpack and check your luggage."
Yan Gou'er's agent jumped out. Her name was Yan Mi, and she was not very old. She said:
"Is it too offensive to check our luggage? We are not sure that the responsibility lies with us yet? Why do you have the right to check our luggage? Is this how you do things, Meiqinger? If I claim that I lost a gold bar, can I check your luggage as well?"
The person in charge of the studio stared at her and smiled without saying anything. His meaning was very clear:
This is how our Meiqing'er handles things, what do you think?
Just then, Li Jing appeared.
Wherever he went, everyone greeted him respectfully.
"Mr. Li!"
"Hello, Mr. Li."
"Mr. Li, you are here."
Li Jing walked up to Yan Gou'er, looked him up and down with a smile, and said:
"This is the first time I've seen Miss Yan Gou'er in real life. I didn't expect she's even prettier than on TV."
After saying this, he belatedly asked, "What happened? Why did the scene become like this?"
"Mr. Li, our Blue Water Heart is lost!" The person in charge of the set recounted in detail what had just happened.
Li Jing was surprised and frowned, saying, "The Water Blue Heart is lost? This is too careless!"
"But..." He changed the subject, "I believe Miss Yan Gou'er's team would not do such a thing. There's no need to check the luggage, but today's filming must not continue. Seal the scene first and search carefully for me."
Yan Gou'er had already sensed something was wrong, she said:
"Let's check the luggage. There's nothing shameful in our luggage."
Li Jing hesitated and said, "Ms. Yan Gou'er, this is not good, right? I believe in your character."
Yan Gouer insisted, "You don't have to believe it, Mr. Li, just check it out."
Then she said to the lamb, "Bring all our luggage here."
The lamb was still somewhat unwilling to be manipulated by the other party.
Yan Mi urged her to go quickly. She also found something wrong. There must be an explanation for today's incident, but now she could only cooperate. Letting them check the luggage was the correct way to deal with it. Otherwise, they would be covered in mud when dragging the luggage out of the set. It would be shit.
Soon, Xiaoyang and two other assistants brought the luggage, a total of four suitcases.
The reason why she brought the suitcase to the set was, firstly, there were things she needed in it, and secondly, it was dangerous to leave it in the car. What if someone stole Yan Gouer's suitcase and sold the things she used online?
Yan Mi said, "Mr. Li, you are the president. Logically, I shouldn't talk to you like this, but checking luggage is really unfair to our artists. So if it is not found in our suitcases, I hope you can clear our name at that time."
Before Li Jing could speak, the person in charge of the studio said:
"It's too early to say that now. What if it's really here? Let's check it out first."
But he held the suitcase tightly without letting go, and still looked at Li Jing stubbornly. The little sheep also looked viciously at the person who came to snatch the suitcase.
Li Jing said: "Okay, if I really can't find it, I will take the initiative to apologize."
Yan Mi: "Also, because my Yan Gou'er is a female artist, I hope that girls will come to check, no video recording is allowed, and men should stay away."
Li Jing readily agreed: "Okay, no problem, let's have a few girls check it out."
Seeing Li Jing's agreement, Yan Mi finally let go of her hand and let them take it for inspection. At the same time, she whispered to Xiao Yang:
"You guys go and keep an eye on them. Don't let them put the necklace into our suitcases, and don't let them do anything tricky."
"Okay!" Xiaoyang and the other two assistants took the order and left.
During the inspection, Xiaoyang watched Yan Gou'er and himself and others' underwear being checked repeatedly, and tears flowed down his face unconsciously.
It wasn't that she felt wronged, but she felt sorry for Yan Gou'er and thought that she had harmed her. It was really too much for her, a big star, to have to endure such humiliation.
Mei Qing'er is also disgusting. She was so kind to be their spokesperson, but something like this happened.
In an instant, the filter she had for Mei Qing'er in her mind was completely shattered.
Yan Mi whispered to Yan Gou'er, "Yan Yan, this time they might be targeting you."
Yan Gou'er nodded calmly and said, "I know."
Yan Mi: "Should we call the company now?"
Yan Gou'er: "Let's see what they want to do first."
"Okay." Yan Mi looked at Yan Gou'er with emotion and said, "Yan Yan, I didn't expect you to be so strong when encountering such a thing."
Soon, the suitcase was checked and Meiqing'er's people shook their heads: Nothing was found.
Yan Mi said, "Boss Li, now we can confirm that it wasn't us who took it, right?" The person in charge of the studio interrupted, "Where was it on him? In his bag?"
The lamb jumped out: "You still want to search me, right? Don't go too far!"
Yan Gou'er: "Let them check."
The little sheep got angry at Meiqing'er's people: "Okay, okay, I'll let you check it, come on!"
The person in charge of the set asked the women who had previously checked the suitcases to search them again.
Li Jing said apologetically, "Ms. Yan Gou'er, I am so sorry. It was our negligence that caused the necklace to go missing today. I will set up a dinner party later and I will definitely apologize to you at the party."
Yan Gou'er refused: "No need for a dinner party, I would rather solve the problem directly."
He was searched thoroughly, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Boss Li, our artist is a top-tier artist, and we have our director Cheng behind us. You treated us like this today, checking our luggage and searching us. You are so unscrupulous. Aren't you afraid that it will affect Mei Qing'er if it gets out? And we were invited to be the spokesperson. It's really bad that things have turned out like this, right?"
Li Jing said, "I'm really sorry. The way I handled things today was indeed inappropriate, and I feel offended. So I said, to express my apology, I will personally apologize to you and Miss Yan at the dinner! If Director Cheng Cheng is not here, I can call him to apologize."
Yan Mi stopped talking.
She finally realized that although Li Jing seemed to be full of apologies, he was actually fearless and his final destination was the "dinner party".
Soon, the body search was over and the bag was checked, but the necklace was naturally still not found.
Yan Mi said, "Boss Li, this proves that we didn't take it, right?"
Li Jing pondered: "This is indeed--"
The person in charge of the studio said, "That's not certain. Maybe it's her." He pointed at the lamb and said, "Maybe she's hiding somewhere! Then she'll come back to get it someday."
The lamb pointed at him, his eyes red from crying, "Don't slander me! Only the dog took it!"
The person in charge of the studio: "In short, you still can't clear your suspicion until the necklace is found!"
An angry look appeared on Yan Mi's face:
"So they've already fallen out, haven't they? There were 40 or 50 people in the whole venue, and there were only five of us. You over a hundred pairs of eyes didn't see it, and you blamed it all on us?! Why couldn't your people get it? Did you even say a word to question them? Do you want to tear up the endorsement contract?!"
Li Jing pressed his hand down:
"Don't be angry. Without solid evidence, we can't accuse anyone at will."
He looked at the person in charge of the studio, reprimanded him a few times in a serious tone, and then said:
"Our Meiqinger really wants to cooperate with Miss Yan Gou'er. I personally admire Miss Yan Gou'er very much. How about this, today's filming ends here. Miss Yan Gou'er, you guys go back to the hotel first. We will check the scene and notify you immediately after we find it."
Yan Gou'er said: "Call the police and let them come and look for it."
The lamb agreed loudly: "Yes, call the police, let them come and see who took the necklace, and let them clear my name!"
Li Jing asked, "Ms. Yan Gou'er, I personally suggest that we solve this problem internally. This necklace is worth tens of millions. If we report it to the police, it will be a major case and everyone will have to go to the police station. And it will be impossible to conceal it. The next day, the whole network will spread all kinds of rumors, and our cooperation with you will also be affected."
The lamb: "Why not? We didn't take it anyway! We're not afraid!"
Yan Gou'er was not afraid either. He was not afraid of any rumors at all.
But Yan Mi panicked. She pulled Xiaoyang to shut her up, then said to Yan Gou'er:
"Yanyan, let's go back to the hotel and talk it over. Let's call the company. If we really call the police, it will be a big deal and we won't be able to control it. Let's see what they want to do. If we can't find them tomorrow, it won't be too late to call the police then. It's too risky to call the police right now. We are in Yuhang, we are unfamiliar with the place, do you understand what I mean?"
Yan Gou'er thought about it and nodded. She also wanted to go back and call Cheng Cheng.
Li Jing chuckled. He was not afraid of calling the police at all. With Jing Lei's connections, calling the police would be a waste of time.
But less trouble is definitely better.
Then, Yan Gou'er changed into her own casual clothes in the locker room. When she came out, she ran into Li Jing who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Yan Gou'er was not panicked at all, he quickly calmed down and asked:
"Mr. Li went to so much trouble to do so many things. He must have some purpose."
Li Jing first looked at Yan Gou'er greedily, then said with a smile:
"Haha, what purpose could I have? I just want to make friends with Miss Yan Gou'er."
"Speaking of which, have you ever had this experience?" He changed the subject. "When you're not looking for something, it's always there in front of you. When you're looking for it, you can't find it even if you search through all the boxes and cabinets. But after a day or two, it magically appears in front of you again. It's the same with things, and it's the same with necklaces."
Li Jing was hinting to her that if he wanted the necklace to appear, the necklace would appear, and if he didn't want the necklace to appear, the necklace would not appear.
Yan Gou'er understood and was waiting for Li Jing's next words.
Li Jing continued:
"Ms. Yan Gou'er, I really like you. It was me who made the decision to make you the spokesperson for Mei Qing'er. Don't take the necklace seriously. To express my apology, you can pick any luxury necklace from Mei Qing'er. I'll give it to you. I only ask that you give me a chance to have sex with her."
Li Jing adopted the method of suppressing first and then luring, because his suppression in the early stage was really ruthless, searching the luggage, searching the body, humiliating and putting great pressure on people. The subsequent conversation was like a sudden turn of events, plus he was willing to spend money, and he was the spokesperson for Mei Qing'er and the luxury necklace, most female stars basically couldn't bear it when they came to this.
Yan Gou'er looked at him, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Li Jing didn't know what she was laughing at, but he sensed a hint of sarcasm.
Yan Gou'er said:
"Do you know? When I was still a student, Director Cheng gave me a script with a box office of 24 billion and asked me to play the second female lead. When everyone thought I was a flash in the pan, Director Cheng gave me a script with a box office of 32 billion and asked me to play the first female lead. Director Cheng did not ask anything from me, and he did not harm me in the slightest.
Last month, I just finished filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which cost 400 million yuan.
How much are your luxury necklace and Meiqing'er's spokesperson worth? Millions? Tens of millions? Can it compare to a movie with a box office of billions? Or a TV series with a cost of hundreds of millions?
Why do you find this attractive?"
"You!" Li Jing was so angry and embarrassed by what Yan Gou'er said!
He didn't expect that his bargaining chips were so worthless in Yan Gou'er's eyes!
What was even more uncomfortable was that he had no power to refute anything Yan Gou'er said. He lost his previous elegance and threatened:
"But you have to think clearly. If the Blue Water Heart cannot be found, your entire company will have to pay for it! I can't guarantee what price Mei Qing'er will offer! Are you sure Cheng Cheng dares to offend Mei Qing'er? Moreover, Wushan TV Station also intervened this time. If Cheng Cheng offended Wushan TV Station, Wushan TV Station would specifically ask him to pay!
If you obey me this time, not only will you save Cheng Cheng from disaster, but I will also be willing to be a peacemaker and help Cheng Cheng make connections. And you, you only paid for one night, and nothing will happen the next day. You are still Mei Qing'er's spokesperson. How about this deal? It's a good deal.
Not only did you help your mentor, you also helped yourself."
Li Jing was taking advantage of Yan Gou'er's spirit of sacrifice, but what he said was not the truth. He didn't want to help Cheng Cheng, and of course it was impossible for nothing to happen the next day. How could it be enough to sleep with a female star like this just once?
He said this just because he wanted to get in the car first.
Yan Gou'er shook her head, as if she thought Li Jing's remarks were childish. She continued in a cold tone:
"First of all, I can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year for the company. I don't need the company to pay for it. I can afford it myself. I can afford any number of them!
Secondly, I will not make decisions for Director Cheng. Director Cheng will make the decision himself as to whether he can afford to offend Wushan TV Station and Mei Qing'er.
If I make a decision on my own, he will be unhappy.
But I personally think that Director Cheng is not afraid of offending anyone. If you take out the necklace now and terminate the endorsement contract, I can pretend that nothing happened.
But if you still insist on doing so, then be prepared to bear the wrath of Director Cheng. You are just a senior manager, not a shareholder of Meiqing'er. Don't misjudge your own power. Director Cheng will make you die miserably."
Li Jing was broken down by Yan Gou'er's words.
He said viciously:
"I also advise you to think it over! You can't leave Yuhang until the necklace is found! I think it's easy to destroy. What do you think of this script in which three naked men run out of the hotel you're staying in in the middle of the night? What if these three naked men are black? Then I'll find some Internet trolls and make up some content, such as corpus luteum rupture, wax dripping, and going to the hospital. Do you think your image as a little white flower will still exist? And this is just one of the ways. There are many such tricks!
So, just give in to me, it's just one night, it's normal for men and women to make love, don't tell me you are still a virgin."
Yan Gou'er looked straight at him: "Don't you think you are very pitiful now?"
"Okay, okay!" Li Jing laughed, but the next moment, he tensed up and said, "I'll only give you one afternoon, so you should think it over carefully! You'd better ask your so-called Director Cheng to see if he agrees to my conditions or insists on protecting you!"
After saying that, Li Jing left angrily.
After a while, Yan Mi, Xiao Yang and others came over.
The little sheep looked at Yan Gou'er who was intact, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked hurriedly:
"Yanyan, what did he do? Their people just stopped us, saying that their president wanted to talk to you alone and wouldn't let us come over! I'm so anxious."
Yan Mi also asked: "Yes, Yan Yan, what did he say?"
Yan Gou'er said: "He is targeting me"
After hearing this, the little sheep felt so sick that he wanted to vomit:
"Why is he so disgusting?! It's so disgusting! I said I didn't take the necklace, they designed it! It's so disgusting!"
Yan Mi said, "We can't leave now, but if it's Yuhang, we may not be able to defend ourselves from the dirty water they throw at us. What should we do? Or should we just call the police?"
Yan Gouer took out his cell phone and said:
"I'm going to call Director Cheng."
She stepped aside and answered the call in less than five seconds:
"Director Cheng~"
Yan Gou'er told Cheng Cheng the whole story, without omitting a single detail.
Ten minutes later, she came back, and her expression was no longer as nervous as before.
Yan Mi asked: "Yan Yan, what did Director Cheng say?"
Yan Gouer smiled:
"Director Cheng was very angry. He told us to stay in the hotel without worry and that he would buy the nearest flight and arrive in three hours."
At this moment, Yan Mi, Xiao Yang, and the other two assistants all showed relaxed smiles:
Director Cheng was very angry and the consequences were serious.
