“Quick, pick it up. I want to hear what Director Li has to say.”

Lin Ziyi hesitated for a second. “We just got off the phone half an hour ago. Now, Director Li is calling again. Do you think he wants to tell me something else?”

“Huh? What else could he want to talk about?”

“It’s an unspoken rule.”

Meng Wei pondered for a few seconds. “This is a possibility. After all, this is a tacit rule in the industry.”

“What if this is the case?”

“Isn’t it obvious? If he wants this, you have to agree. With his reputation and status in the entertainment industry, it’s a blessing for you that he has such thoughts toward you.”

“I don’t mind as long as you don’t have any objections.”

“There’s nothing we can do about this. 1’11 just take it as a painful parting.”

Lin Ziyi took a deep breath and answered the call.

In order to make it easier for Meng Wei to hear everything, she even turned on the loudspeaker.

“Director Li, you’re looking for me,” Lin Ziyi said sweetly.

“I heard that there’s a new hotpot restaurant in Dongdan. I was just about to invite you out for a meal to thank you.”

“There’s no need to thank me. 1 didn’t do anything.” Li Wenyuan said.

“I called you because I wanted to tell you that I don’t plan to use you for my new movie. I’m sorry, 1 haven’t sent the contract over yet, while my previous offer was only verbal.”

“What?! You don’t plan to use me anymore?”

This news was like a heavy bomb to the two of them!

She did not react for a long time.

Half an hour ago, Li Wenyuan had stated that Zhao Shiqi had been involved in a scandal and was no longer going to work with her. Instead, he was preparing to use Lin Ziyi for his next movie.

Why did he change his mind so quickly?

“Director Li, no one in the entertainment industry is more suitable for this role than me. If you use someone else, it will adversely affect the film .”

“Are you kidding me? 1 don’t think Zhao Shiqi is any worse than you.”

“Wasn’t Zhao Shiqi embroiled in a scandal? You just said that you don’t need her anymore. Why are you…”

“That was earlier, and this is now. As for what happened, you can ask yourselves!”

After saying that, Li Wenyuan hung up.

Lin Ziyi and Meng Wei were dumbfounded. They looked at each other, wanting to know what was going on.

Meng Wei’s dark brows seemed to be knitted together.

The two calls were made half an hour apart.

During this period of time, Lin Ziyi had been by his side and had not done anything. It was impossible for her to have offended Li Wenyuan.

If so, why did she lose the role?

“Brother Meng, what’s going on? Why is he using Zhao Shiqi again? There must be something fishy going on!”

“There’s such a big scandal, but Director Li still wants to use her. There must be a reason for this.”

Lin Ziyi was anxious. “Quickly think of a solution. If she gets the female lead role for this movie, she’ll soon be stepping all over me.”

“I’m not sure how to handle this matter; after all, I haven’t reached that level yet,” Meng Wei said while holding his phone. “I’ll give Boss Zheng a call and ask. He has a wide network in the industry and should be able to find out the inside information.”

Ring ring ring!

Meng Wei’s phone rang at this moment.

“What you said really came true. Boss Zheng just called me.”

“Answer it. Let’s see what’s going on.”

Meng Wei nodded and picked up the phone.

“Boss Zheng, you were looking for me? 1 have something to tell you.”

“Come to my office.”

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll come over now.”

With that, the other party hung up. Meng Wei thought for a moment.

“Boss Zheng was probably calling regarding this matter. Come with me.”

“Oh, okay.”

The two of them tidied themselves up and took the elevator to the top floor.

On the top floor, in the chairman’s office.

In the luxurious boss chair sat a man in his fifties.

He was holding a stack of documents in his hand, and the anger on his face seemed uncontrollable.

This person was the chairman of Xinqi Entertainment, Zheng Xinqi.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

“Come in!” Meng Wei walked in and said.

“Who’s out there?”

“It’s Ziyi.”

“Come in.”

“Okay.”

Meng Wei turned around and said to Lin Ziyi, “Come in. Boss Zheng wants to see you.”

The two of them arrived at the desk together, but they were both trembling in fear.

The chairman didn’t look too good.

“Boss Zheng, why are you looking for me?”

“You still have the cheek to ask this?!”

Zheng Xinqi raised his hand and threw the documents at Meng Wei’s face, scaring Lin Ziyi.

“Look at what you’ve done!”

Meng Wei was even more confused. “Boss Zheng, 1 didn’t do anything.”

“You reported Zhao Shiqi’s scandal today. Did you also hire an internet troll army to add insult to injury?”

“Huh?”

The two of them were even more puzzled. They were originally rival companies. Now that the other party had made a fool of themselves and gotten themselves involved in a scandal, it was only natural that they would add insult to injury.

“I’m asking you a question!”

“Yes.”

“Do you know who that man is?!” Zheng Xinqi scolded.

“He’s the president of Lingyun Group and is worth hundreds of billions! Are you courting death by provoking him?!”

“What? He’s a billionaire?!”

“Do you think I’m joking with you?”

Meng Wei, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, realized that something was wrong.

If the other party really had such a high status, it would be positive news for Zhao Shiqi!

It would be disadvantageous to their side!

“Boss Zheng, 1 really didn’t know that this man was so powerful. I was negligent. I’ll arrange for someone to bury the news now,” Meng Wei said.

“Even if he’s rich, it won’t affect us.”

“Bullsh*t!”

Zheng Xinqi slammed the table and stood up, slapping Meng Wei’s face!

“Do you think he’s just rich?! Just now, the people from the Industry, Commerce, Taxation, and SARFT called me and said that they wanted to investigate our company thoroughly. They asked me to wait for the investigation. This is all due to your doing!”

Meng Wei’s expression changed drastically. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Who exactly was this guy?

This time, he had offended a true God.

It was past eight in the evening, and Lin Yi went back home after dinner.

Zhao Shiqi wanted to bring him out for a drink, but Lin Yi refused.

The next morning, when Lin Yi woke up, it was already past eight in the morning. He washed up and ate breakfast first, so it was past ten by the time he arrived at the Central Guards Brigade.

His arrival attracted the attention of the trial trainees again.

Lin Yi wasn’t in a hurry. He watched the training ground for a while.

This batch was indeed much more skilled.

After watching for a while, Lin Yi went to Liu Hong’s office at eleven o’clock and waited for lunch.

“What’s wrong with these people? Why are they all acting like they’re on steroids after Lin Yi arrived?” Ning Che muttered.

“They all want to join Team 1.”

“That’s a possibility.”

Just as Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were talking, Yu Siying walked over.

“Team Leaders, I want to ask, with my current level, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to enter Team 1, right?”
