This drama has a large production scale and there are indeed many production companies involved.

Tianyu accounts for the majority, 65%, and the remaining 50 companies of all sizes also followed suit.

The Tenghua crew did not participate much, investing six million, accounting for one percent.

With such a small percentage, he has no right to speak. If it weren't for his twenty years of experience in the industry, it would be difficult for him to even stand here and speak.

Wang Shenming broke out in a cold sweat, wiped it off, and said hurriedly, "Boss Pei is right, I'm meddling in other people's business!"

Lu Qi turned his chair and sat sideways, resting his hands on his chin. He asked innocently, "Why are you meddling in other people's business? And for two days straight?"

She knew it, but she just pretended to be stupid and pointed it out.

I originally wanted to deal with him later, but he bumped into me.

Wang Shenming continued to argue, "Of course I'm worried about the crew. Seeing how things have been going on like this, and we can't start work, the money lost due to the delay is just going to go to waste. I feel bad for... for Tianyu."

"Teacher Wang is such a kind person." Lu Qi is quite good at playing the good guy.

He traced his finger across the cup of herbal tea and added, "It's just that he's too kind-hearted, always working for Qiao Zhitang."

Hearing this, Wang Shenming's eyes suddenly widened.

He glanced at the whispers that were beginning to rise in the conference room and said guiltily, "What did Mr. Lu say? What relationship do I have with Mr. Qiao?"

Lu Qi retracted his fingers.

"I don't know either. Isn't that what I'm asking you? Why was he the first to rush to the scene after Qiao Jiao's accident? Doesn't the crew have an emergency response team? Why was Teacher Wang there?"

"And what does the banner outside the door mean by 'allowing someone to commit violence'? Isn't this just a simple accident? What kind of violence is involved? They want to settle privately instead of going to court. What are they afraid of?"

Wang Shenming hesitated in answering a series of questions, but still insisted: "Yes, yes, what am I afraid of?"

"Alright. In that case, I have a good idea. Mr. Zhao, since they're demanding three million in compensation, why not just contact Tianyu's legal team and sue them for extortion?"

Lu Qi didn't want to play dumb with him anymore, this guy wouldn't listen.

Wang Shenming panicked: "No! Don't sue them. Yes, it was Miss Qiao who caused the accident and then got out of the car to beat someone up!"

Obviously, no one knows this part.

According to Wang Shenming's subsequent explanation.

At that time, Qiao Jiao hit someone, a couple riding a motorcycle. The woman was fine, but the man fell hard and couldn't get up.

The woman grabbed Qiao Jiao and refused to let her go, and she also smelled alcohol on Qiao Jiao.

In a panic, Qiao Jiao took the crew's prop baseball bat and beat the woman, which caused her to be seriously injured.

Qiao Jiao wanted to drive away, but was stopped before she had gone far. In desperation, she called Qiao Zhitang.

Qiao Zhitang had some interests with Wang Shenming, and he made some promises and asked Wang Shenming to handle it.

After arriving at the scene, Wang Shenming made a deal with those people, settled the matter privately, and gave them a way to ask for three million yuan.

In this case, Qiao Jiao only needs to be punished for the lightest offense of drunk driving, which is 15 days in prison. Otherwise, the charges of drunk driving, hit-and-run, and intentional injury will be enough for her to serve at least three years.

-

And now.

If the crew really sues that group for extortion, Wang Shenming will be charged with instigating the crime of extortion.

Even if he continues to be on good terms with Qiao Zhitang, they should break up if it affects his own interests.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhengtong, who was the chief producer and the person in charge of the overall situation, exclaimed, "Wow!"

Pointing at Wang Shenming, he cursed: "You're so awesome, Wang Shenming. You eat the crew's food, but you blame them. To protect Qiao Jiao, you brought people to bite the crew. Who taught you to behave like this?"

Zhao Zhengtong was relieved. Once the truth was revealed, things became easier.

Grabbing Wang Shenming's collar, he said, "Since you're colluding with them, follow me downstairs and explain everything to them. If your explanation doesn't work, we'll all go to jail together."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhengtong led a few people and prepared to go out.

Lu Qi stopped him and said, "Is this all Mr. Zhao is going to do?"

"What does Mr. Lu mean?"

"At 4 o'clock, the crew will issue a statement, publicly expelling Qiao Jiao and reporting every detail of her behavior."

Zhao Zhengtong paused, somewhat puzzled and worried. "But if Qiao Jiao's affairs were exposed, it would inevitably lead to criticism of the crew and bring about some negative comments. After all, she is a member of the crew."

"If you say it yourself, people will only say that the crew didn't know who to hire and are incompetent. If others dig it out and say that the crew deliberately concealed it, then they would be unethical." Lu Qi pointed out.

There is still some difference between incompetence and immorality.

Zhao Zhengtong understood this immediately, but he was still hesitant. He looked at her and said, "But, if I say she's incompetent, it will inevitably blame the person who hired her."

What this means is that although Lu Qi was not doing the detailed work of recruiting, it was Lu Qi who signed in the end.

Qiao Jiao was recruited by Lu Qi.

Wouldn't that be calling Lu Qi incompetent?

Lu Qi took a sip of herbal tea and said calmly, "It's no big deal."

She could just scold him. She wasn't a star, how could she be so angry? At worst, she could just go to the baseball field and vent her anger, and ask Pei Yao to pick up the ball for her.

That's it, the herbal tea moistened my throat.

Pei Yao looked at her and saw the gurgling sound in her throat.

That's how this guy is. He pretends to be indifferent and carefree, but in reality he likes to get involved. If he gets really angry, he'll have to go to the baseball field to appease her.

We can't let her bear this stigma.

With a helpless smile, Pei Yao took out his phone and sent a message: [Create a scandal about Qiao Jiao and me before four o'clock.]

The other party replied: [Who is Qiao Jiao? What does she do? ]

"Go search it yourself, how would I know?" Pei Yao replied impatiently.

The other party was speechless. He didn't even know what his rumored "girlfriend" did. Enough of Pei Yao!

However, he still replied with a serious attitude: [Okay, I'll do it right away.]

Put away the phone.

Lu Qi's affairs had been almost arranged. Zhao Zhengtong went to receive the letter. Before leaving, he glanced at Pei Yao and asked, "Mr. Pei, do you have anything else to tell me?"

They had done things in the past few days without asking Pei Yao much. Although they couldn't ignore him, they knew that Pei Yao was here to play, so it would be bad to ask too many questions.

Now that he knew about Lu Qi and Pei Yao's secret marriage, he had to ask.

Pei Yao ignored him and waved his hand to let him go.

As soon as this person left, the other people in the meeting room also dispersed one after another.

Lu Qi noticed that before these people left, they would look from her to Pei Yao. She didn't know that the news of her marriage had been leaked.

I was just a little surprised. After they left, I went to Pei Yao and asked, "Do you feel that everyone is looking at us strangely today?"

"Is there?" Pei Yao turned a deaf ear to him, and habitually put his arm around Lu Qi's waist and pulled him in front of him, then sat him down at the conference table.

"What are you doing? Someone's seeing us." Lu Qi realized it belatedly, quickly glanced at the empty meeting room, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Aren't you afraid?" Pei Yao smiled as he saw her frightened like a deer. He just hugged her and did nothing else, but she was already anxious.

"I mean, I'm not afraid, but there's no need to draw attention to myself. I'm quite shy."

As he was speaking, Zhao Zhengtong, who had already walked out, happened to turn back.

Suddenly seeing the two of them, he greeted them calmly, "Oh, Mr. Pei, Mr. Lu, I forgot to bring my notebook."

As he said this, under Lu Qi's shocked eyes, he naturally walked to the table and took the notebook.

Finally, he closed the door sensibly and said, "By the way, Mr. Lu, it was hard to tell with so many people around. I didn't know you were married before. Congratulations on your wedding."

Lu Qi: “???”
