Chapter 42: I'm Here to Vent, Not to Reason!

This last "Hmm?" scared Wang Rui and Qi Tong so much that they shook their heads repeatedly.

Both of them only felt cold sweat seeping out from their backs, and their whole bodies went numb.

"Miss Shen, how could we bear such a big responsibility? You..." Wang Rui smiled embarrassedly. Seeing Shen Ci looking at him expressionlessly, he couldn't care about anything else, pulled Qi Tong to his front, and scolded: "You say, you say, explain the matter clearly to Miss Shen."

Qi Tong now wished he could be invisible, or turn into a speck of dust and float into the cracks of the floor. In short, he didn't want to stand here and face all this.

"S-sorry." Qi Tong stammered, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but peek at Lu Jinzhao, looking guilty.

Lu Jinzhao frowned tightly: "Why do you keep looking at me? Are there words on my face? Tell me what happened!"

"It's not General Lu Zong, it was proposed by someone in our company. Can I say it?" Qi Tong said while sweating, his armpits were soaked.

When Lu Jinzhao heard that it was someone from his company, his heart went cold.

Seeing Miss Shen looking at him, he simply asked himself: "Who? Ren Jia?"

He guessed it casually, but didn't expect to guess it right. Seeing Qi Tong nod, Lu Jinzhao's eyes widened.

"Ren Jia?" He was very surprised: "Why is she making things difficult for Shen Li for no reason?"

Ren Jia is a popular actress, with thickness of works, online popularity, and awards. Newcomers can only look at her back. How could she be threatened by her?

"How would I know that." Qi Tong looked unlucky.

This matter was just a favor he did, which is not too common in the circle. How could he kick an iron plate? This Ren Jia is really unlucky.

Shen Ci is not unfamiliar with Ren Jia. A drama that Gu Lianxing has been chasing in the dormitory recently has this actress. It is said that she is a villain specialist and has played many similar roles.

From the beginning, she didn't believe it was the staff's negligence, nor did she believe that the stage was too small. It must be a deliberate targeting by someone with ulterior motives to inexplicably not let her sister go on stage.

"Miss Shen, Ren Jia is a female artist in our company. The fact that this matter has to do with her is that our company's management of artists is insufficient. I will definitely handle this matter seriously. Don't worry."

Lu Jinzhao didn't protect his shortcomings, and of course, he didn't have the qualifications to protect his shortcomings in front of Shen Ci. He immediately showed a correct attitude.

Shen Ci looked at him and asked directly: "How does Mr. Lu intend to handle this Ren Jia?"

Lu Jinzhao was speechless for a while and hesitated: "I haven't considered this yet, but Miss Shen, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you."

"But it's unlikely to replace her. I have to explain the situation to Miss Shen in advance. First, although she is a female artist in my company, she also signed a contract after getting the role. Second, the starring lineup has already been announced at the press conference. If she is suddenly replaced, it will definitely affect this drama. We also need to take care of the voices on the Internet. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Shen Ci raised her eyebrows slightly. What Lu Jinzhao said could be considered realistic, without deliberately protecting Ren Jia, but entirely considering the overall situation.

Her original intention was to get an explanation, not to target Lu Jinzhao and his company. For this project, Lu Jinzhao sold his house. Shen Ci knew that he cared more about this drama going smoothly than anyone else.

"Mr. Lu, I won't make things difficult for you. Since Ren Jia didn't let my sister appear at the press conference, then I will use her own way to treat her. From now on, all official accounts of 'Tianming Weihuang' are not allowed to publish materials and news pushes related to Ren Jia, as well as crew photos. She is prohibited from participating in all subsequent related activities!"

"Huh?" Qi Tong said subconsciously when he heard this: "General Lu Zong, Ren Jia is the second female lead. Isn't this unreasonable?"

"Reason?" Shen Ci looked at Qi Tong and asked: "Do you think I'm reasoning with you now?"

"I'm here to vent for my sister, not to reason with you!"

In one sentence, Qi Tong was scared into silence. Wang Rui wanted to kick him in the back!

Lu Jinzhao nodded and agreed: "No problem, Miss Shen. As long as you don't ask to replace her, I will agree to all requests."

Hearing Lu Jinzhao say this, Shen Ci felt a little better, but she didn't stop there. She turned to look at Lu Jinzhao and continued: "As for my sister, Mr. Lu, how do you plan to appease her? You don't intend to let her suffer this grievance today for nothing, do you?"

"Of course not. Miss Shen, it's like this. Our company currently has several dramas waiting for cooperation. For all undecided roles, your sister can pick first. If she wants to play which one, just say the word, and I will send her directly!" Lu Jinzhao said and took out his phone, fulfilling his promise on the spot: "I will arrange for someone to organize it now and send it directly to your sister later for her to pick."

Shen Ci was very satisfied with this appeasement method. It was sincere and practical.

For her sister, a newcomer, being able to pick a role herself is something she didn't even dare to think about. She will definitely be very happy.

Shen Ci nodded, took a deep breath, and stood up. Lu Jinzhao also hurriedly stood up, watching Shen Ci's face carefully.

Only then did she pause and say: "This matter ends here, and don't let my sister know."

"I understand, Miss Shen. Don't worry." Lu Jinzhao nodded and promised.

There was nothing else to say. Shen Ci adjusted her mood, declined Lu Jinzhao's kindness to send her back, and left the scene on her own.

After Shen Ci left, Lu Jinzhao seemed to have unloaded the heavy burden on his shoulders and sat back on the chair with a sigh of relief.

Wang Rui made such a big mistake, so he naturally didn't dare to breathe, and just kept Shen Ci's appearance firmly in his heart. Don't offend her in the future.

Only Qi Tong gritted his teeth secretly. He was naturally not angry at Shen Ci, but at Ren Jia, who almost harmed him.

"Qi Tong, right?" As a result, Lu Jinzhao suddenly looked at him after recovering, and said coldly: "Pack your things, go to the personnel department to resign immediately, and get out!"

"General Lu Zong." Qi Tong was stunned, but Lu Jinzhao got up and left without looking back.

After Shen Ci went downstairs, she didn't rush back to school, but sat down in the coffee shop next to it. Just as she was about to scan the code to order, her phone suddenly received a text message.

After clicking it, Shen Ci's eyes widened instantly.

"Your card ending in *1069 had a cross-bank transfer of 74,800.00 yuan on September 20th at 15:00 at the Longcheng Branch. Current balance 4,837,159.88 yuan. Counterparty name: China Space Exploration Research Department. Remark: August Salary 【Construction Bank】"

Shen Ci looked at this incredible text message and was stunned. "China Space Exploration Research Department" was the work unit where she had worked for decades, and the amount of 74,800 was her salary for the last month before she retired, which was actually deposited into her card on time on the 20th of every month!
