Quite awkward

The sky was gray, stretching to the far end.

Qi Yu felt the same way.

Last month, she played the role of an arrogant mistress. Today was the day to settle her salary, but when the money arrived in her account, she found that half of the amount was missing.

Qi Yu immediately went to the crew leader to argue with him about why her salary was deducted without reason.

The feedback received was that based on recent online trends, netizens were very disgusted with the plot of the legal wife catching the mistress in the TV series, so all the scenes shot by Qi Yu were deleted. Out of "conscience", the crew still paid her half of the salary.

How could Qi Yu not know that the crew was deliberately bullying her?

This is the first role played by Qi Yu after graduating from the Film Academy. Although it is not a decent character, she also spent a lot of time thinking about the character's psychology and put in the work, but did not get the due reward. It is really unfair.

If she were a well-known actress in the circle, the crew would definitely not dare to target her at will when faced with the same situation.

Qi Yu wanted to defend his rights and get back his salary, but he didn't know where to start.

The next day, Qi Yu found the person in charge of the crew. As soon as she said a few words, the other party's face immediately turned dark, and he looked annoyed and disdainful.

"That's not my responsibility. I'm only allowed to pay you half your salary, and your scene won't be used anymore. Our crew is losing money."

Qi Yu also had her own reasons, but the other party didn't let her speak and directly kicked her out of the office.

After a heavy rain, the sun was shining brightly outside, like a steamer. Qi Yu was exhausted by the sun, with fine beads of hot sweat on his forehead, looking a little tired and embarrassed.

She let out a breath, struggling over whether she should continue to persist in this matter.

After walking about a kilometer to the bus stop, she missed the latest bus, so she simply sat down on a stainless steel stool and waited. Then she took out a half-empty bottle of mineral water from her bag and gulped it all down, but it couldn't relieve the heat all over her body.

I guess he's getting heatstroke.

At this time, Mu Yanqing called to ask about her recent situation.

Qi Yu was in a very low mood when he spoke. He realized something was wrong, so he asked another question.

"Ayu, what's wrong with you?"

Qi Yu felt helpless. After being wronged outside, he couldn't help but tell his brother about the bad luck he had encountered.

"Brother, we were clearly promised a salary, but I only received half of it. I'm new to society and don't know what to do in this situation."

Mu Yanqing asked seriously, "Have you signed the labor contract?"

"No, my role was only for two days, so I didn't sign a contract, but I have the chat records of the agreed remuneration." Qi Yu replied in a low voice, sounding very depressed.

"Ayu, it's okay, I have a way to solve it." Mu Yanqing paused, thinking it would be better to have a face-to-face talk.

"Where are you? I'm coming to pick you up now and we'll go have dinner together."

Qi Yu's heart tightened slightly, and she hesitated for a moment. She was now facing a difficulty that she couldn't solve on her own, and only her eldest brother could help her.

She sighed sadly and reported her location.

About fifteen minutes later, Mu Yanqing's low-key and luxurious black car stopped in front of her.

Qi Yu stood beside the car body, paused for two seconds, and opened the back door.

She was quickly enveloped by the air-conditioning in the car, which dispelled her dryness and made her feel refreshed.

“Brother.”

Mu Yanqing turned his head to look at her.

The little girl now looked somewhat disheveled, with her sweaty hair sticking to her temples. She had just experienced a setback, and she looked gray and worried.

He pursed his lips and felt a little sorry for her, but he didn't ask too many questions like before. He turned around, sat up straight and started the car again.

-

It was still early for dinner, so Mu Yanqing took her to a private room in a friend's restaurant. The waiter brought her sweet watermelon and honey lemonade with ice cubes.

Qi Yu stirred the ice in the cup with a straw, took a sip, and then felt much more comfortable.

The combination of honey and lemon brought a sweet and sour taste, and the effect of ice cubes relieved the dryness and discomfort in her mouth and tongue.

Seeing her gradually recover, Mu Yanqing slowly asked, "How do you usually get roles?"

Qi Yu rubbed his temples uncomfortably, his voice muffled: "Go to the crew for an audition yourself."

“If you sign with the company, there will be no wage deductions.”

Qi Yu avoided the question and said after a moment of silence, "I thought everyone in society was a good person..."

Mu Yanqing laughed angrily when he heard this.

"Bad guys love to pick on recent college graduates like you. Don't trust others easily in the future. Always protect your own rights first."

Qi Yu let out a muffled "oh".

Mu Yanqing didn't want to continue preaching, so he helped her solve the problem directly.

"Ayu, I'll contact a lawyer for you. Send him all the evidence you have, and he'll help you get your salary back later."

He has been in society for many years and naturally knows how to deal with such things. Qi Yu is a rookie and it is too rash for her to confront the other party alone, which will inevitably lead to her being wronged.

“Thank you, brother.”

Qi Yu lowered his eyes, secretly reflecting on how useless he was.

If she had thought of finding a lawyer for help earlier, she wouldn't have had to face the ferocious face of the person in charge.

Just thinking about it made her mood immediately worse.
