Chapter 83: Have the Face to Ask for an Explanation?

However, Ren Jia didn't hear the subtext in Lu Jinzhao's words at all. She sat down on the sofa by herself and then looked at Lu Jinzhao with a pitiful demeanor.

"Mr. Lu..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Ren Jia's voice was full of grievances: "You said I've only been in the industry for less than three years, and all these years I've relied on the company and Brother Bo's team to achieve my current results."

Speaking of this, Ren Jia's cherry-red lips pouted slightly, and she blinked pitifully: "But I have a reckless nature by birth. Brother Bo has told me several times. I have the intention to correct this bad habit myself, but occasionally I will still inadvertently make some inappropriate words and deeds. Many times I don't even know it myself."

Lu Jinzhao looked at her with a furrowed brow, as if he vaguely sensed what Ren Jia wanted to express at this moment.

She wouldn't really want to mention the publicity matter at this time, would she?

In front of Miss Shen?

She really knew how to pick her time!

Sure enough, Ren Jia lowered her eyes and continued dejectedly: "You said if I did something wrong, you could just tell me directly. I really want to learn more from you, and I really hope Mr. Lu can give me more pointers."

"But now that you've stopped my exposure in the publicity team, it's not just me who's affected, the company is also affected."

She looked up at Lu Jinzhao: "Mr. Lu, you don't need to deny it. If it weren't for your authorization, Brother Qi wouldn't dare to do this."

Lu Jinzhao's face was already extremely ugly at this time, but he had no way to vent here in front of Miss Shen. Ren Jia didn't know Miss Shen's identity, and he couldn't justify scolding her for being stupid!

He secretly observed Miss Shen's expression and found that she was leaning casually on the sofa, looking at Ren Jia performing this "admitting mistakes and complaining" drama with a half-smile on her face.

After calming his expression, Lu Jinzhao sat up straight and looked at Ren Jia seriously: "You don't need to tell me these things. We all know whether what you did was intentional or unintentional."

"Stopping your publicity is my intention, and it's also the company's intention. You don't need to feel aggrieved, because you are not aggrieved at all."

Ren Jia was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect that her attempt to express herself tactfully would get such a tough response from Lu Jinzhao.

Her face stiffened, and she blurted out: "Mr. Lu, I don't understand what you mean. What exactly did I do to make the company treat me like this? At the cost of stopping my publicity. You know what a big blow this is to my career, which is currently on the rise!"

"No matter how big the blow is, you have to take it, otherwise you won't learn your lesson!" Lu Jinzhao said righteously: "For an artist of my 'Jin Xiao Media', business ability can be lacking, but one must be upright in dealing with people."

"You don't want to know why? Fine, I'll tell you!"

Lu Jinzhao seemed too lazy to deal with the other party, and he was also afraid that if they continued to argue, Ren Jia would say something shocking without thinking, so he simply took his stance in front of Shen Ci.

"On the day of the press conference, don't you remember what you did?" Lu Jinzhao stared at Ren Jia with cold eyes and asked.

Ren Jia's expression froze, and the scene of the press conference that day flashed rapidly in her mind.

She seemed to...

The next second, the stunned expression was replaced by slight shock. She remembered!

Seeing her reaction, Lu Jinzhao continued: "Did you think that because I wasn't there that day, I wouldn't find out that the press conference was missing a person? The lead cast was supposed to appear collectively, and every actor was supposed to be there. Why didn't Shen Li go on stage?"

"Qi Tong, whom you used as a gun, resigned the next day. Have you ever thought about why?"

At this point, Lu Jinzhao slammed the table and scolded sternly: "Do you really think this matter can be hidden? Just because Shen Li is a newcomer, you think no one will care?"

This shock made Ren Jia's delicate body tremble!

"I originally considered that you already had some fame and didn't want to bring this matter to the table. You still have the face to come and ask me for an explanation? Stopping the publicity for this drama is the company's punishment for you! If you have any dissatisfaction, just keep it to yourself!"

Ren Jia's methods were underhanded, but that didn't mean she didn't know shame. Lu Jinzhao's words were thrown directly into her face, making her feel guilty.

Especially since there was a third person in the room, and that person's gaze had been fixed on her from beginning to end.

Shen Ci listened to Lu Jinzhao scolding his employees while appreciating the changes in Ren Jia's expression. The glamorous stars she could only see on the screen in the past also had such unbearable and embarrassed moments.

Come to think of it, she could do such things, so the star filter had long since ceased to exist. But being able to see it with her own eyes, Shen Ci still felt it was quite interesting and fresh.

Seeing Ren Jia was in the wrong and remained silent, Lu Jinzhao sighed with disgust: "Reflect on yourself during this time. With such a mind that cannot tolerate newcomers, how far can you go in the circle in the future?"

Ren Jia's eyes were slightly red. The arrogance that she was still complaining for herself had vanished at this moment, and she only felt that she had lost all face.

She nodded, got up, pushed the door, and left. Even her back revealed panic.

Seeing this, Lu Jinzhao looked away impatiently and turned to Shen Ci, saying softly: "Miss Shen, don't be angry because of such a person."

Shen Ci smiled slightly. She could see that half of Lu Jinzhao's actions just now were sincere, and the other half were done for her to see.

"Mr. Lu, rest assured. I have always been clear about grievances and grudges. Since she has already been punished, I will not vent my anger on her a second time."

Seeing Shen Ci say this, Lu Jinzhao couldn't help but nod with relief.

Yu Hong's flight was delayed, and she didn't arrive at the set until late that afternoon.

She first went to Song Anyu's lounge and brought the good news to Song Anyu: "The Asia-Pacific image ambassador for 'Danton' men's watches has been secured. Two years. As long as you can rise to the top tier within two years, the spokesperson will be you!"

"Thank you, Sister Hong, I will work hard." Song Anyu nodded with a smile, then pulled Yu Hong aside and whispered: "Sister Hong, I saw Sister Kuan today. She came out of Shen Li's dressing room. 'Jin Xiao' might also want to sign Shen Li."

Yu Hong was stunned when she heard this, and then frowned.

She knew that this matter had been dragged on for a bit too long, and sure enough, long delays meant many hitches.

For a good seedling like Shen Li, it was only natural for "Jin Xiao" to have ideas about her, but it was unexpected that Sister Kuan would come out in person.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate," Yu Hong said, calming down. "It's not the first time we've snatched people from 'Jin Xiao'!"

Song Anyu hesitated and asked tentatively: "I shot two scenes with Shen Li today and retook a set of stills. Should I go talk to her?"

Yu Hong looked at Song Anyu and smiled: "No, you're not the kind of person who is eloquent. Don't end up helping me with a disservice."

Song Anyu pouted aggrievedly when he heard this. ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
