Chapter 456: Zhong Kui also catches the trickery of the human heart

The death of the old man of the Qi family was just the beginning.

The first to suffer was the second brother Qi Hong. He had listened to his eldest brother's words before and sold all his stocks, obtaining tens of millions of liquid funds, all of which were gambled into the stock he was optimistic about.

Qi Hong thought very well, this stock was his last shot in these few months, and after making money, he would redeem it all and save some liquid funds for himself.

But on the day the old man of the Qi family died, the stock he bought was jointly shorted by several major institutions, smashing billions into it.

Qi Hong's funds were like a mantis blocking a chariot in front of billions of funds, and couldn't lift a splash at all.

He watched with his own eyes the tens of millions of funds on the account become a few million, so anxious that his blood pressure rose.

And this was just the beginning. In just three days, this stock was investigated by the Securities Regulatory Commission, involving financial fraud, and was to be included in the ST board!

The stock price that had finally stabilized fell again, and Qi Hong watched his funds change from a few million to a few hundred thousand.

And at this time, he went to borrow money from his eldest brother, only to find that his eldest brother had no money, and had to fill the hole in the company's taxes, and also had to ask him for money.

Qi Hong had no money to give him and fled overnight.

He was used to living a life of luxury, where would a few hundred thousand be enough to spend?

He was unwilling, so he sold all his shares and gambled on buying other stocks, expecting to turn over in one fell swoop.

However, his good luck in stock speculation seemed to disappear from him. He lost whatever he bought, and soon became penniless.

So he began to set up loans from major platforms. Because his credit was good before, he set up over a million, but he threw it all into the stock market and lost it.

The platform frantically urged debt, and some small platforms even sent people to urge debt, and Qi Hong died in a car accident while hiding from the debt collector.

Eldest brother Qi Zhan was not much better.

After his father died, the companies under his name were exposed to tax fraud problems one after another, and were investigated by law enforcement departments. Not only did they have to pay a triple maximum fine, but they also faced imprisonment.

Qi Zhan was not convinced, and hired a lawyer to defend himself, thinking that these tax problems were caused during his father's tenure and had nothing to do with him.

But besides tax problems, his company also had many problems, involving major violations of law and discipline by some officials, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison in court.

Qi Zhan was still not convinced, drank a lot of wine that night, and jumped off the building in a daze and died.

As for the third son Qi Tu, because he quickly transferred assets, he preserved most of his wealth before the Qi family's big ship sank, and successfully handled immigration and bought a plane ticket to go abroad.

But on the day he boarded the plane, in the VIP lounge of the airport, a guest with mental illness suddenly went crazy, took out a spring knife he carried with him, and treated Qi Tu as his enemy.

The guest grinned and stabbed Qi Tu more than ten times, and Qi Tu died on the spot!

By the time Jin Li returned to the crew, it had been a month since she left the crew.

The half-month rest that Director Chu said was still too conservative.

In order to let the male and female leads better grind with the special effects motion capture equipment, he spent nearly a month training them.

Leaving the crew was the end of October, and by the time she returned to the crew, it was already the end of November.

On the day she returned to the crew, she also heard the ending of the Qi family from Director Ye Weijie, and Chen Chen and Driver Xiao Cheng also heard it, sighing and sighing constantly.

Chen Qin: "They must have offended the gods, I have never seen a family that can break down so quickly, it was finished in less than a month."

Driver Xiao Cheng nodded repeatedly: "People do, heaven watches, the Qi family must have done many bad things, this is retribution."

Jin Li was not interested in the ending of the Qi family, but was more interested in Pond Village, urging Ye Weijie to hurry up and set the scene.

"This time I returned to the 'Dawn' crew, there are not many scenes, maybe I can finish filming in less than a month, I want to enter your crew as soon as possible."

Ye Weijie asked: "I can rush the set here, it should be able to let you join the group seamlessly, but why are you so anxious?"

Jin Li: "After filming your drama, I plan to push all announcements and focus on welcoming next year's college entrance exam."

She thought for a while and said: "Maybe your drama can push the progress further, wait until I finish the college entrance exam next year before filming?"

Ye Weijie shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, this drama has been prepared for too long, it can't be pushed anymore. Delay will lead to changes, I'm afraid that if I continue to push it, Pond Village, this filming location, may not be taken down."

"You don't know, ever since the Qi family's pond was returned to the village, some tourists have noticed Pond Village, and several bloggers have come to check in, edited into a film and put it on the internet, and it became popular."

"If I hadn't blocked some news here in advance, those bloggers would have broken the news that Pond Village is the filming location for your next drama. By then, your fans would have swarmed in, and I think you wouldn't even be able to film."

Jin Li smiled: "Since it's not easy to push, then hurry up and set the scene, let's finish filming early and end early."

Ye Weijie: "Okay, Pond Village is very cooperative with the crew now, there should be no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Jin Li went to see Xu Ting and Bai Jiang's performance.

She had no scenes in the morning and had to film in the afternoon, but she hadn't returned to the crew for a month, and didn't know how the male and female leads handled the special effects, so she came to see.

After nearly a month of training, Jin Li discovered that the two were becoming more and more handy in motion capture.

Maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for a month, she also felt that both of their acting skills had improved to a certain extent.

However, Director Chu's attitude towards the two actors seemed to be stricter than in the past.

Just what she saw, Director Chu lost his temper twice at the two leads in the morning, all loudly telling them to concentrate, not to slip away, and to do the movements in place.

In the past, when Chu Chenliang was filming, there were very few scenes of shouting and shouting.

If the actor acted wrong, he would communicate with the actor first and guide them well.

But this time, Director Chu omitted the communication process.

But it must be said that such an attitude is more suitable for the two leads, and they will perform better under every high pressure.

Xu Ting and Bai Jiang acted very attentively, and only found out that Jin Li had returned to the crew after filming.

Bai Jiang happened to meet Jin Li's gaze and took the initiative to greet her.

"When did you come back? I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time."

Jin Li: "Came back in the morning, I haven't been to the crew for a month, went to other places to study in seclusion."

Bai Jiang seemed to think of something and joked: "Yes, I remember, my assistant will chase your study livestream when he is free. He also uses this to whip me, saying that you are so hard-working every day, and I should work harder."

Jin Li was a bit surprised, she felt that Bai Jiang's attitude towards her seemed to be friendlier?

Bai Jiang continued: "I have also chased your livestream a few times, looking at the mathematical mind map you summarized, I am learning the content of the first year of high school, the knowledge points you summarized are very easy to use."

Jin Li was even more surprised, "Do you also want to participate in the college entrance exam?"

Bai Jiang shook his head: "No, I am a graduate of a famous university, there is no need to take it again, I just think that doing some math problems can exercise my thinking, didn't you mention a method to train imagination before? I am trying."

Jin Li recalled, she did mention this method, but that was just a casual mention, and even she herself didn't know if it was useful.

And she thought that the method of doing problems in her mind that she mentioned trained more memory and logic, not imagination.

Jin Li didn't want to mislead people, and hurriedly said her thoughts.

Bai Jiang didn't expect her to say it so directly, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Jin Li said sincerely: "My imagination should be innate. There are many scenes that I can preset in my mind, and I can think of many details."

"The method I mentioned, I just wanted to squeeze out time to study. Even if I really train according to this method, the improvement should only be thinking logic ability, not imagination."

Bai Jiang said embarrassedly: "I'm just trying it, I thought maybe it would really be useful to me?"

Jin Li said friendly: "How about this, let's add a friend, if I brush a video that can train imagination, I will push it to you?"

"Sometimes training imagination formally is useless, but the methods provided by folk experts are very effective."

As far as she is concerned, the channels for her to contact knowledge outside of subjects are generally brushing videos, both long and short.

Maybe she is lucky, every time she goes online to fish and brush videos, she brushes what she likes to watch, and also the knowledge she happens to need to understand.

There are many bloggers who share knowledge who are not professionals in that line, but their views are very thorough. The wild way is more able to point directly to the core essence and explain it in a simpler and more straightforward way.

Bai Jiang immediately said: "I will add you after filming later, you can push some videos related to acting to me, I think there are many places I need to learn."

The field staff came over to call Bai Jiang to prepare for filming, and Bai Jiang stopped talking to Jin Li.

When Jin Li turned and left, she noticed a very obvious malice on the side. Turning her head to look, she saw Xu Ting communicating with her new assistant in a low voice.

She raised her eyebrows, not surprised, and walked out of the shooting field slowly.

After walking out, Driver Xiao Cheng and Chen Qin who followed her immediately started gossiping.

Chen Qin looked left and right, and after seeing no one around, asked in a low voice: "Why did Bai Jiang's attitude change so much after returning this time?"

Driver Xiao Cheng nodded: "I don't have much time to run to the crew, but every time I come to the crew with Sister Jin Li to film, Bai Jiang and Xu Ting basically don't talk to Sister Jin Li when they are resting."

Chen Qin said a word from her heart: "Actually, it's normal not to talk. Sister Jin Li often holds a 'Five Three' in the crew, either looking at questions or brushing questions. Talking to her feels like it will affect her study, not disturbing is the best way to get along."

Jin Li "um-ed", "Bai Jiang has no malice towards me."

She could feel it since entering the crew, Bai Jiang's attitude towards her was neutral, but he was very friendly to Xu Ting.

When she and Xu Ting had a conflict, Bai Jiang's attitude remained neutral, but she felt that Bai Jiang would eventually lean towards Xu Ting, so she didn't care about him and didn't manage the relationship with heart.

After all, they have to film together for a few months. If they can have a better relationship with the actors in the crew, Jin Li is also happy.

This way, they can occasionally talk while waiting for filming, and the atmosphere in the crew can be more relaxed, without being so tense at any time.

Driver Xiao Cheng asked: "Then how did he suddenly talk to Sister Jin Li?"

Jin Li couldn't figure it out either. It couldn't be because his relationship with Xu Ting became bad, so he wanted his relationship with her to become good?

Thinking about it this way, she was amused by this idea instead.

Bai Jiang is not a three-year-old child, he has long passed the age of needing companions, and he is the male lead in the crew, she is a supporting role with few scenes, there is no need to please her.

Chen Qin said suspiciously: "It couldn't be that he felt Sister Jin Li's acting skills were good, so he wanted to get close to Sister Jin Li and learn more from her?"

Everyone also felt that this was not very likely, because Bai Jiang didn't look like a male star who was very eager to learn.

Little did they know, this guess of Chen Qin hit Bai Jiang's heart.

He wanted to have a good relationship with Jin Li, it was really because of Jin Li's acting skills!

After the field staff called him, Bai Jiang came to the position carded by the light stand-in. Xu Ting stood on his right hand side, her lips moved wanting to say something, but in the next second, Director Chu's clapper sound sounded:

"3, 2, 1, Action!"

The expressions of the two became serious instantly, staring at a large dinosaur toy in front, this toy will be processed into a powerful big boss later.

Facing the dinosaur toy, Xu Ting couldn't mobilize the nervous emotion at all, but Bai Jiang next to her was very serious, and his expression was a bit hard.

Every time Xu Ting looked at Bai Jiang with the corner of her eyes, she would involuntarily follow and become solemn, connecting the movements he handed over.

After a few dozen seconds, Director Chu suddenly shouted: "Bai Jiang, Xu Ting, you two are in danger, hide behind the iron pillar!"

Bai Jiang acted immediately, Xu Ting was half a beat

"Yesterday, I even made a special trip to the neighboring village and almost got into a fight with their village chief for spreading rumors. It turned out the neighboring village's chief felt wronged too, saying he had just heard it from another village.

If I hadn't been busy at the time, I would have dragged the neighboring village's chief to that other village to ask in person who had it out for our Pond Village, splashing all sorts of rumors on us."

Upon hearing this, Ye Weijie said, "It was probably spread by the Qi family. They don't want Pond Village to transform into a tourist village at all."

The village chief glanced at him. "Do you have a grudge against the Qi family, or did they offend you? Why do you blame everything on them?"

Ye Weijie was left speechless.

The village chief didn't know that the nine ponds of Pond Village formed a Feng Shui array. The Feng Shui master he hired couldn't see it, so presumably, other Feng Shui masters couldn't see it either.

Jin Li had seen it, but she specifically told him not to tell the others in Pond Village, lest they stop striving and just wait for death once they knew.

Ye Weijie could only vaguely say, "I really do find the Qi family a bit unpleasant. What kind of normal person would intentionally drain the water from a pond?"

The nine ponds all circulate and flow into one another; even if the Qi family's pond was at a lower elevation, it could still circulate to the other ponds.

But because they drained their pond, for many years the water only flowed in and never out, relying entirely on the mountain spring water flowing down from above.

Over the years, the water in the ponds became less and less, and the villagers felt it was the Qi family's fault for draining it.

Now that water was bubbling up in the Qi family's pond again, the villagers were all happy and ran over every day to see how much water had gathered.

Suddenly, a villager ran up to them and said excitedly, "The water in the Qi family's pond is full, and the water in all the other ponds is full too!"

The village chief and Ye Weijie hurried over to look. Many villagers were already gathered at the Qi family's pond, shouting "Auspicious omen!"

"Heaven has manifested its spirit! The water in all the ponds in Pond Village is full; everything has taken on a new look!"

"Pond Village will never lack water again, and we'll never fear drought again!"

"The water in all the ponds has become clear!"

Ye Weijie specifically scooped up a handful of water and found that it was crystal clear and faintly emitted a fresh, sweet fragrance.

His expression shifted, and he took a photo to send to Jin Li.

The water in this pond really seemed quite different.

And at the very moment the water in the Qi family's pond became full, Qi Zhihong, who was in the ICU, suddenly saw his condition worsen and he stopped breathing!
