Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Jing Ya.” Shi Jin walked over. “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
“I’m sorry to make you worry.” Jing Ya’s voice remained gentle.
“Don’t say that. The important thing is that you’re all right. Doctor, is there a problem?”
The doctor said, “It’s not a big problem, but Jingya’s finger is injured. There are fractures and scrapes. She needs to be treated at the hospital immediately.”
“The cruise ship is on its way back, and it’s called emergency services. You’ll be at the hospital soon,” Shi Jin said. “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
Jing Ya nodded.
When the cruise ship returned, Shi Jin saw Jing Ya get in a car with her own eyes before she returned to her car.
Yao Jiahong said, “Shi Jin, according to your arrangements, the medical fees have already been paid for her. This cruise ship belongs to Time TV, and the interview was arranged by your production team. Since something has happened, we will be responsible for Jing Ya to the end.”
“Mm, okay. Money’s not a problem. Make sure she’s okay,” Shi Jin instructed.
Fu Xiuyuan said, “Okay, let them worry about that. Just rest.”
“She was cooperating with my work, after all, and I couldn’t leave it entirely alone in any case. I’ll be relieved when she’s all right.”
After Shi Jin returned, she asked Yao Jiahong to contact her if anything happened.
Jing Ya’s accident still caused a huge commotion.
Although she was only a host and hand model, she had many fans.
Knowing that she had fallen into the sea, the fans were very worried and immediately contacted her studio to confirm the situation.
Shi Jin had also communicated with the doctor.
“A bone fracture of this magnitude will heal completely after about a month’s rest. It’s not a big problem,” the doctor said.
“Then please pay more attention to Jing Ya. I’ll pay for everything.”
“The cost of such an injury won’t be too high. Don’t worry, Miss Shi.”
Shi Jin hung up the phone and felt a little tired. She said to Fu Xiuyuan, “I’m going to rest for a while. I’m a little tired.”
Fu Xiuyuan walked with her to the bed, where he removed her coat and tucked her in. “Get some rest. Don’t worry about anything else.”
“Yes.” Shi Jin nodded. She smiled at his face and fell asleep in a moment.
Fu Xiuyuan stayed with her until she was sound asleep, then he stood up.
Shi Jin’s phone rang and he picked it up.
Yao Jiahong’s voice came from the other end. “Shi Jin, Jing Ya’s agent called me.”
“Speak.”
“Master Fu,” Yao Jiahong said immediately, “Jing Ya wants us to compensate her with five million yuan.”
“What did the lawyer and the doctor say?” asked Fu Xiuyuan.
“According to the lawyer and the doctor, this injury can be treated for up to fifty thousand dollars. We put a hundred thousand directly in the hospital and told them to go ahead with the best medication and treatment. However, she won’t be able to work for a month at most. We’ll have to compensate her for some losses if she misses work for a month. However, her agent said that she won’t be able to film an advertisement because of this, so we’ll have to compensate her for five million dollars in total. In the meantime, the company she bought the insurance from will also provide her with more than a million dollars in damages.”
“According to the market price and the contract we signed, what is the compensation?”
“The finances and the legal department have calculated that it can’t be more than a million. That’s why I wanted to talk to Shi Jin and see if we should compensate according to what she said or according to the rules of the business.”
Fu Xiuyuan asked calmly, “According to the rules of the industry, this is an acceptable loss for the company. According to the compensation they mentioned, from where will the company pay this sum?”
“That’s what I thought, but I was afraid Jing Ya would blow things up.”
“The company has its rules, and the industry has its rules. We can pay double for humanitarian reasons, but not five times. A precedent has been set here. How will we handle something like this in the future?”
“Then I understand. I’ll talk to Jing Ya’s manager again.”
Yao Jiahong quickly contacted Jing Ya’s manager.
Jing Ya’s manager spoke gently like Jing Ya and looked very negotiable, but her attitude was also very firm. She did not give in at all. “Five million, it can’t be less. The loss of our advertisement was two million. This is a huge blow to Jing Ya, and it’s also very disadvantageous to her career and future, so Brother Yao, please help¦”
“Let’s go according to the contract,” Yao Jiahong said. “We’ll pay you double for the damages. What do you think?”
The manager looked troubled. “I’m afraid that’s not a good idea. We won’t be able to work for a month.”
“We can also understand such a thing. Jing Ya and you are both very upset. Therefore, we will compensate according to the contract. Out of love and protection for Jing Ya, Shi Jin is also very regretful about this matter, so she can compensate double, but there is really no other choice. Please understand that the company has its own process. Although the money is not much, I believe you should know that there are rules for where every penny is used. That is the company’s money and belongs to the company. It is not something that an individual can control at will.”
“Are you really not going to talk about friendship at all?”
“I’m sorry. This is the best friendship we can talk about.”
Yao Jiahong finished with a good attitude and stood up. “Please reconsider.”
Yao Jiahong hadn’t expected the other party to be so ungrateful.
He had just returned to the car when Shi Jin became a trending topic.
He frowned and called Fu Xiuyuan.
Without hanging up, Fu Xiuyuan opened Weibo.
Shi Jin was already in the top three position for “Shi Jin Not Rescuing Jing Ya.”
“The trending search came out as soon as you left?”
“Yes, we can be sure of that.”
Fu Xiuyuan sneered. “The trending search can’t be bought on the spot. In other words, they’re already prepared to buy the trending search. No matter how the discussion goes, this one would go up.”
“I really didn’t expect that. They all look so gentle, but what they do is… It’s really puzzling.”
Fu Xiuyuan said calmly, “Since they don’t want twice the compensation, we won’t give it to them. Let them settle it in court.”
He hung up and went back to the hot search.
The trending topic was that Jing Ya accidentally fell into the water in front of Shi Jin. Shi Jin did not save her and did not even think of going into the water to help. After she called for help, it took a few minutes for someone to save Jing Ya.
Shi Jin’s swimming ability was publicly acknowledged to be good. Previously, she had acted in a very long scene in a movie.
Although there were quite a number of people who spoke up for Shi Jin under this Weibo post, they all said that Shi Jin had helped by calling for help. It was also a form of rescue. In a situation where they were not sure of their safety, it was most appropriate to find professionals to save them.
