Chapter 501: Righteous Threats!

Hao Zhongyi Entertainment hadn't seen Qiguan Mingzhu's power yet, but instead found two artists in Chenxi Entertainment first.

There were some old employees in Hao Zhongyi Entertainment. In their impression, the easiest one to manipulate among the four was Jin Li.

Because her health was the worst, she often dragged the team down, was scolded by the media, and had the least confidence.

As for Xi Sister Meng Ze, the old employees had no impression; this person was okay at everything, but also mediocre at everything.

Back in the team, they didn't know that Xi Sister Meng Ze sang so well.

So, they aimed at Jin Li first.

Jin Li's private phone number had never changed.

It was already night, and Jin Li had just finished work from the crew and took the phone handed over by Chen Qin.

Chen Qin said: "A strange call has been calling you all day. It's a landline. I thought it was a scam call, so I didn't answer."

"Usually, if this kind of scam call isn't answered the first time, they will change to another number later, but this one has been calling repeatedly, and has called four times already."

Jin Li unlocked her phone and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "00852-2XXX, the phone shows this is a landline from Hong Kong. Has the wind of scams spread to Hong Kong now?"

Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.

On the way to the canteen, Jin Li's phone received a call again, still the same number.

Chen Qin saw it and muttered: "Why is this scam call so persistent? Does it know you are silly and have a lot of money?"

Jin Li answered the phone casually, but what came through was a Hong Kong-accented Mandarin that wasn't very clear.

"Jin Li, I am the manager of the brokerage department of Hao Zhongyi Entertainment Company. My surname is Chen, you can call me Mr. Chen."

Jin Li paused and replied: "Hao Zhongyi Entertainment? What are you looking for me for? We have no cooperation."

Mr. Chen's voice on the phone was gloomy: "I want to know, Qiguan Mingzhu finally chose Chenxi Entertainment, was it you who instigated it from the side? Otherwise, I really can't think of any reason why she would give up signing with Hao Zhongyi Entertainment."

Jin Li was happy.

It was the first time she had been provoked so blatantly.

"So what if I did it, and so what if I didn't?"

Mr. Chen: "If you didn't do it, then we misunderstood you and say sorry to you. If you did it—"

He paused, his voice gloomy and indifferent: "You have to pay the price!"

"Hao Zhongyi Entertainment wants to sign Qiguan Mingzhu because we are building her as a superstar. Because of your personal selfishness, leading to the fall of a superstar, you are harming her!"

"Once we sign her, we will give her two international movies, cooperate with international superstars in martial arts films, and many people will pay attention!"

"Don't think that because Qiguan Mingzhu signed with Chenxi Entertainment, we can't do other things. The competition has just begun. Your resources are just so-so; you won't know what you gave up!"

"Suing you for music copyright is a return gift we gave you. We will also lay out in the mainland, holding a large number of Hong Kong star resources, and snatch your engagements!"

Mr. Chen said in a high-and-mighty tone.

"If you are sensible and cooperate more with the company, we can still shake hands and make peace. Jin Li, you have developed in Hong Kong, you must know how advanced we are here."

Jin Li laughed out loud.

"My resources, wait for you to come and snatch them. If you can snatch them, that means my strength is not as good as others."

"As for why Qiguan Mingzhu didn't choose to sign with your company, don't you think about whether it's your own reason? Don't push all the problems on others. The times have changed; open your eyes and look at this world."

"By the way, may I ask how old you are now?" She suddenly changed the subject.

Mr. Chen was about to answer, but Jin Li continued: "Forget it, this is not important. You should contact the internet more and connect with young people now. People who don't know might think you are stuck in the last century?"

"If phone threats were useful, what would the police be for? Oh, by the way, every call of mine is recorded, so please speak cautiously. If something happens to me after I participate in an engagement, you will have major suspicion."

"After all, you are the first person to threaten me openly, and I suspect you have sinister intentions."

Mr. Chen's face became even gloomier after being told by her.

Didn't the old employees say Jin Li was the easiest to bully? Why is she so sharp-tongued?

He really didn't use the internet much. After all, when he was the company president, the value of every minute was calculated in "ten thousand yuan." Where would he have time to use the internet?

Only poor people rely on the internet to numb themselves.

Don't look at the amount of information on the internet, but those are old-fashioned news. Real rich people won't tell everyone how they made a fortune.

Mr. Chen was embarrassed and said angrily: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Hao Zhongyi Entertainment is different from before. You look down on us!"

Jin Li: "If telling the truth is looking down on you, then you need to practice more."

"By the way, my time is very precious. Next time you want to chat with me, please confirm the time with Chenxi Entertainment first. I charge by the second for calls, bye-bye."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone crisply and neatly.

Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng on the side were a bit dumbfounded. It was rare to see Jin Li so angry.

Chen Qin asked carefully: "Jin Li, what happened? Did someone call to threaten you?"

Jin Li came back to her senses from her contemplation and shook her head: "A call from Hao Zhongyi Entertainment. Pearl signed with Chenxi Entertainment, and the people over there hold a grudge against me, so they called to settle the score with me."

She sent this phone number to Sui Lingfang and then blocked it.

"You tell Sister Fang to contact the person with this phone number, and at the necessary moment, let Chenxi Entertainment initiate a lawsuit, saying it infringes on my personal safety."

It was highly likely that the lawsuit wouldn't be successful.

But it could also disgust Hao Zhongyi Entertainment.

What made Jin Li more curious was what happened to the suddenly reorganized Hao Zhongyi Entertainment, looking arrogant and saying they wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

She thought of the speculation raised by the sisters before.

"Could it be that Hao Zhongyi Entertainment really got the capital injection and support from the wealthy family again, and also cooperated with a mainland company?"

Chen Peixian was hung up on for the first time and said angrily: "This person is really impolite!"

His assistant bowed his body on the side, serving carefully.

"Chen Zong, what did Jin Li say?"

Chen Peixian glared at him, his tone cold: "Are you sure you didn't hear wrong? Jin Li is the weakest among the four, and also the easiest to bribe?"

The assistant immediately straightened his chest and said: "I definitely didn't hear wrong! The old employees all said Jin Li is the easiest to bully!"

"When Pink Girls were popular, the old employees didn't dare to scold other members, but only dared to scold Jin Li to her face, and Jin Li would hang her head and not say a word!"

Chen Peixian frowned, almost able to pinch a fly to death.

"Then why is she so arrogant to me?"

The assistant was also puzzled, and at a certain moment, a flash of inspiration hit, and he said definitely: "I understand."

Chen Peixian looked over.

Assistant: "She is definitely bluffing!!"

"Because she is the weakest, she is rude to you, lest you see her weakness. In fact, she is scared to death now, and she is probably already calling her manager to discuss what to do!"

To confirm his idea, the assistant also took the situation encountered when calling Xi Sister Meng Ze as an example.

"We also called Xi Sister Meng Ze before, but it never got through. This proves Xi Sister Meng Ze is not afraid of us. Jin Li's didn't get through either, but it got through later, proving she is still afraid of us!"

Chen Peixian asked suspiciously: "Is it really like this?"

The assistant opened his sincere eyes: "Really, really!"

Chen Peixian thought for a moment, but still felt something was wrong, so he dialed back.

The result showed that Jin Li was on the phone.

He didn't know that if a number was blocked, it would always say "on the phone," or it would be out of service area.

Chen Peixian put down his phone, patted the assistant's shoulder, and said solemnly: "You are right."

He smiled contemptuously: "So what if she is a first-tier star? Isn't she still going to yield to capital? As long as I make a move, she will either retire or jump ship!"

The assistant believed Chen Peixian's words deeply.

After all, the Chen family behind Chen Peixian had always been one of the five major wealthy families in Hong Kong.

Hao Zhongyi Entertainment, which dominated the Hong Kong entertainment industry before, was managed by people from the Chen family.

Although it fell apart later with the family division, this time it was also because the family divided the property again, and Chen Zong decided to take over Hao Zhongyi Entertainment and decided to reorganize.

As long as there is capital, this company can definitely grow bigger and stronger!

Sui Lingfang spent the whole day docking Qiguan Mingzhu's engagement matters and had to make a special trip to Tianding Entertainment tomorrow.

Because Tianding Entertainment signed many joint endorsements for Qiguan Mingzhu within the three-month contract period, and later needed to maintain them with Ji Qinglian.

So she had to get all the joint contracts and smooth out the timeline. This was her exercising the power to view contracts on behalf of Qiguan Mingzhu.

After she finished her work, she received the message sent by Chen Qin and hurriedly called Jin Li to understand the specific situation.

Jin Li had already finished eating and returned to the homestay to rest.

Sui Lingfang asked straight to the point: "I saw the message Chen Qin sent me. Hao Zhongyi Entertainment called to threaten you, telling you not to mind your own business, and also telling you that you must give way to them and cooperate with them more?"

Jin Li said calmly: "Yes."

Sui Lingfang blurted out: "Where do they get the face to mind their own business!"

Jin Li also wanted to know what they were thinking. The way they spoke seemed to be stuck in the last century.

Sui Lingfang asked: "Then what should we do now? Issue a warning letter directly?"

Jin Li said thoughtfully: "I always feel that this matter will not end easily. Let's wait and see. You collect various materials first."

Sui Lingfang: "Okay!"

Jin Li: "Hao Zhongyi Entertainment found me, and they probably found Meng Meng too. You ask her if she has been threatened."

Sui Lingfang hadn't received any information from Xi Sister Meng Ze yet. Xi Sister Meng Ze was on vacation again.

Her mental state was very beautiful.

As a manager, seeing Xi Sister Meng Ze's itinerary, she would cry and shed envious tears.

After Sui Lingfang hung up, she dialed Xi Sister Meng Ze back.

"Threatened by a call from a Hong Kong entertainment company? No!"

Xi Sister Meng Ze was confused: "I didn't receive any strange calls. Is it just a conspiracy against Jin Li, seeing that she is easy to bully?"

Sui Lingfang: "Regardless, you should pay more attention to safety recently."

Xi Sister Meng Ze checked later and recalled that she would turn on the call reminder function when she was on vacation.

If it wasn't a friend in her address book, they couldn't get through to her phone.

For this reason, she specially called Jin Li to express her condolences.

Xi Sister Meng Ze said in a tone of wanting to fight: "Jin Li, if Hao Zhongyi Entertainment threatens you again, you should make their call records public and let the mainland netizens spray them to death!"

Jin Li's eyes curved and she smiled: "Good idea."

The inexplicable call didn't disrupt Jin Li's pace.

Early the next morning, she had to catch a literary play.

As the filming progressed, Jin Li's "village official prestige" was grasped perfectly, and the filming in the crew went very smoothly. Usually, it was other people's performances that had problems.

The team that was too young also had a disadvantage. Jin Li couldn't draw more inspiration from the veteran actors to enrich her acting skills.

She could only become a leader.

And with Jin Li's habit, once she became a leader, she would basically set off an involution craze, and the whole crew would involute.

Involute to the end, everything is available.

This time was no exception.

Everyone's filming efficiency improved by leaps and bounds. Even if there were retakes and NGs, they immediately asked the seniors in the crew.

Now everyone was not afraid of Jin Li and Xu Wenwen at all, and all wanted to get a line of guidance from them.

Originally, Wang Hongdou was the young actor who was bolder and asked questions diligently. Later, Ma Mingqi also boldly asked Jin Li questions.

Generally speaking, Jin Li was doing problems when resting, and many actors with shallow qualifications didn't dare to disturb her too much.

Ma Mingqi was different.

He went to ask Jin Li questions, not asking Jin Li to answer at all, even if it was just talking to himself, but he wanted Jin Li to know his attitude.

His manager was still in the crew, coming to watch Ma Mingqi film every day.

Ma Mingqi was also very funny. Every time he came to ask Jin Li questions, he had to pull his manager.

In a corner of the crew, everyone was whispering.

"He's here again, rushing to disturb Jin Li, and even pulled his manager over. This makes Jin Li unable to ignore him. I've never seen any star as thick-skinned as him!"

"Ma Mingqi is like a dog-skin plaster!"

Some staff held different opinions and said uncertainly: "But I see Jin Li is not troubled, still lowering her head to do problems, only occasionally responding a few words."

"How can she not be troubled? As long as you stand in front of someone, you will disturb them. Jin Li just has strong concentration, not a robot, and can completely isolate noise!"

Ma Mingqi deliberately pulled his manager to circle in front of Jin Li.

Compared to the manager, he appeared more servile and complimented: "Jin Li, my manager said he wants to learn from you, so I came to disturb you again."

"You can answer if you want, and you don't have to speak if you don't want to. It doesn't matter, I understand."

"My manager said my acting is a bit floating and not solid. Several NGs today were too floating. I want to ask how to improve this situation."

Jin Li looked at him and said: "Run to the village chief's office more, see how the village chief handles things, observe more, and think more."

Ma Mingqi had an expression of being taught: "What you said is too right."

Luo Fan also spoke: "Think about Jin Li's suggestions more, don't always trouble others."

Ma Mingqi: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the village chief now!"

He passed by the group of people discussing with his manager. Ma Mingqi turned his back to them and showed a disdainful smile.

He thought: "You don't understand anything. The reason I bring my manager to Jin Li is because Jin Li thinks highly of my manager!"

"I want to show my obedience to my manager in front of Jin Li, so I have a chance to jump to Chenxi Entertainment together."

"A group of ants, where do they know my ambition!"
