Chapter 27 Finishing
Chapter 27 Finishing
After more than half a year, filming for "I Know I Like You" has finally wrapped up.
After Lin Zhihao accompanied Shi Xingchen and He Manman to take the wrap-up photos with the crew, they got into the car together.
"Ah~ I can finally take a break for a while."
As soon as she got on the bus, He Manman couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm going to take a vacation, go on a trip, and relax properly, hehe."
“You still have commercials to shoot next,” Zhang Nick coldly interrupted He Manman.
"Huh? Isn't it only that unlucky guy Shi Xingchen who needs to shoot for magazines? Why do I have to shoot commercials too!" He Manman complained angrily.
Unlucky Star:······
“Do you think the entertainment industry is so easy to navigate? If you don’t take advantage of this show’s airing to increase your exposure, the audience will forget you soon.” Zhang Nick tapped He Manman’s head with his finger.
"what!!"
"Damn capitalism."
He Manman complained softly.
Zhang Nick only gave He Manman a look before continuing with his work. Although he was working with He Manman, there were also juniors who needed to learn from him.
"Xingchen, do you need to rest for a couple more days?" Lin Zhihao asked Shi Xingchen through the rearview mirror.
"I'll follow my sister's arrangements," Shi Xingchen replied with a smile.
"Then, let's take three days off? Then we'll go do a magazine shoot. By then, the drama will be airing around the same time, so we can do some promotion while we're at it."
Seeing that Shi Xingchen was so obedient, Lin Zhihao directly told him about the work arrangements for the future.
"Okay, no problem, sister."
Seeing how self-aware Shi Xingchen was, Zhang Nick couldn't help but feel envious.
"Look at them!"
He Manman stuck out her tongue shyly.
"Alright, you should go back and pack your things, then get some rest. See you tonight." Lin Zhihao said goodbye to Shi Xingchen when they reached the elevator in the apartment complex.
He Manman and Shi Xingchen live on the same floor, in two separate apartments, one on the left and one on the right.
As soon as she got home, He Manman rushed into the bathroom, tidied herself up, and lay down on the bed.
"I'm going to make up for all the sleep I've lost!" he said, pulling the covers over his head and going to sleep.
Looking at He Manman, who had instantly fallen into a deep sleep on the bed, Lin Zhihao smiled helplessly.
A new email notification suddenly popped up on my tablet.
[Huayi: Hello, we are staff members of Huayi. After comprehensive consideration by our company, your artist Shi Xingchen does not currently meet the requirements of our quarterly magazine. Therefore, the cooperation cannot proceed as scheduled. This is to inform you.]
Lin Zhihao frowned.
[Zhi: Filming is scheduled to start in three days, and you're telling us you're canceling the contract now? Besides, the contract was signed; shouldn't you be required to pay a penalty for breach of contract?]
[I need a reasonable explanation.]
[Huayi: The contract states that our company has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract before the photoshoot.]
[Zhi: So, the reason?]
Five minutes after the email was sent, the other party still hadn't replied.
Lin Zhihao threw the tablet on the sofa, her eyes filled with anger.
[Ding Dong~]
Suddenly, the tablet sent another message notification. Lin Zhihao thought it was an email from Huayi, but it turned out to be Huayi's official Weibo account.
Upon clicking, I found that the magazine had announced the models for the next issue.
It's Xu Yihan.
Clicking into Xu Yihan's Weibo homepage, the first thing you see is a repost of a Weibo post about flowers.
Lin Zhihao was furious! (°?°)
Just then, Nick Zhang called to tell Lin Zhihao that the person in charge of the advertising company had been replaced by Xu Yihan.
They even used the same methods: unilaterally terminating the contract before filming even began.
She took a few deep breaths and told herself to bear it.
It turned out that I couldn't stand it, I simply couldn't stand it.
She dared to play me for fools!
At first, she was puzzled. Although Shi Xingchen had accepted a role in Director He Yu's drama, the drama had not yet aired, so why were magazines suddenly contacting her?
Although it wasn't a huge hit, it at least produced some popular items and has a fan base.
So we're waiting for her here.
If Shi Xingchen is simply unpopular, it's understandable that the other party would replace him.
But He Manman has a certain number of fans, and she can be replaced by the same person.
If she says it wasn't her doing, can Lin Zhihao believe it?
She doesn’t believe it!!!
After calming down for a while, Lin Zhihao left a message for He Manman and went out to find Zhang Nick.
"What do we do now? They're clearly targeting us." Lin Zhihao asked as soon as she sat down.
“Xu Yihan is a minor issue, but the power behind her is a major problem.” Zhang Nick calmly sipped his coffee, his fingers delicately raised.
Do you know who's behind her?
"Oh, I heard he's a senior executive at the Shen Group."
"As you know, the Shen family is one of the top groups in Qingcheng."
Zhang Nick had no idea that the person standing in front of him was Shen's only daughter.
"Ok?"
Lin Zhihao raised an eyebrow slightly.
It's her company again. Could it be that she's connected to He Yifan through the same person?
Lin Zhihao was in no hurry to reveal her identity; in front of Zhang Nick, she was simply Manman's good friend.
To netizens, she is simply Shi Xingchen's agent, He Lou.
"Since they can't shoot magazines or commercials anymore, let them rest for a while. We can do some promotion when the drama airs." Lin Zhihao had her own plan. Since the other party had set up obstacles for them twice, they would likely do something else to target them later.
"That's all we can do for now."
Lin Zhihao looked out the window. Would she give up because of this, or would she fight back desperately like Xiaoqiang?
No, only a fool would not use his wealth and power.
Unlike other transmigrators or rebirth characters in novels, she doesn't rely on a strong heart to fight against adversity.
Hilarious! Since others are the organizers and their positions can be taken away at any time, she might as well become the organizer herself.
If you feel there are many obstacles ahead, it must be because you haven't spent enough money.
Waaah, if something happens, you should go home and find your mom.
I took a taxi back to the He residence.
(Although she already had a driver's license, Shen Zhihao was just a minor high school student, so of course she had to take a taxi.)
Just before entering the door, Lin Zhihao stared wide-eyed and forced out tears.
"Waaaaah, my dearest Mommy~"
While getting a beauty treatment at home, Ms. He looked up and saw her beloved daughter with red eyes calling her "Mommy."
She immediately sat up in the beauty chair and asked the beautician to leave.
"Oh dear, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
Holding Shen Zhihao in her arms, He's mother was heartbroken.
"Yes, it's Dad." Lin Zhihao pouted and started throwing the pot.
"What?! What did he do?"
"Recently, an artist from my new company had a magazine shoot scheduled, but it was snatched away by someone from Dad's company." Although you weren't the culprit, I'm still sorry, Dad.
"This is outrageous!" Mother He ripped off the face mask.
She was about to pull out her phone to question Mr. He, saying, "You old geezer, you're even competing with the little girl for resources!"
"Mom, Mom, don't be angry. It's not a big deal that he was robbed. It's just that my artist's new drama is about to air, and he's lost his exposure." Lin Zhihao's big eyes sparkled, full of implications.
"I wish I could be on a variety show, but I'm sure my dad will still try to stop me," Lin Zhihao said, pretending to wipe away her tears.
"I'll give you the money, you can open one yourself," Mother He said with a wave of her hand, giving Lin Zhihao 50 million.
Lin Zhihao was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it on her face.
"But I have no experience, Mom."
"I will send someone over to help." As long as her daughter asks, it's a small problem for Mrs. He.
"Thank you, Mom. You're so good."
"Then I'll go get busy."
"But Mom, please don't be angry with Dad. I'm sure he doesn't know about this."
It would have been better if Lin Zhihao hadn't brought it up. Even if it really had nothing to do with He's father, He's mother would still cause trouble for him, since it was his fault for not supervising him properly.
Originally, He's mother was just going to make a phone call, but she ended up changing her clothes and rushing to the company.
At that moment, Mr. He, who was sitting in his office on the top floor, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head.
He touched it, shook his head, and continued with his work.
