The technical director felt like crying. Boss, who exactly did you offend? This is clearly aimed at you. I'm just an employee, and I have to take the blame for you. I'm so wronged.
With a knot of anger in his chest, he sped up, cracking and reinforcing simultaneously. This time, it took over forty seconds, and the "scumbag" finally disappeared.
He watched nervously, afraid of another "scumbag" appearing in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, after waiting for a while, there were no further changes, and he finally felt a little relieved. He then admitted his mistake, "President Chu, the technical department has failed this time. I am willing to bear all consequences."
"The person?" Chu Rong asked expressionlessly.
Another employee from the technical department stammered, "I'm sorry, President Chu, we lost the person. The opponent is very well hidden, but their cracking method is very similar to foreign hackers' techniques.
Please give me some more time, President Chu. I'll search on the external network. Perhaps I can find some clues."
Could it be foreign? Everyone was speculating. Especially the "scumbag," this was clearly personal revenge, likely from a woman's resentment. Could it be that President Chu had a romantic encounter abroad? No one dared to speak. The office was silent, the atmosphere suffocatingly low.
Meanwhile, on the film crew's side, Tu Tu put away her masterpiece and rolled on the ground with joy.
Mi Mi looked worried. "Won't you be exposed? Chu Corporation's security is handled by the top technical team in the country. Logically, it should take at least ten minutes to crack your virus, but they did it in less than a minute. Be careful not to leave any traces."
"Don't worry, I wiped away all the traces cleanly," Tu Tu sat up. "I've wanted to avenge my mother for a long time. My scumbag father abandoned his wife and child. It was one thing when he was abroad, but now that he's back, he must suffer a little."
Mi Mi sighed, but her grape-like big eyes darted around.
...
After discussing the casting standards with Jiang Nan Chen, Quan Jiu walked out of the conference room. Wang Fei Fei and others were already arranging the first round of auditions. Quan Jiu still wore a mask and sunglasses, her face completely concealed.
Jiang Nan Chen advised, "I've already told everyone not to take photos. It's hot in this hall. Take off your mask, don't suffocate yourself."
However, Quan Jiu didn't want to expose herself to Jiang Meng Mei yet, so she shook her head and refused.
Jiang Nan Chen smiled helplessly and invited the auditioning actors to enter one by one.
Jiang Meng Mei was so impatient that she was cursing inwardly. When it was finally her turn to go in, her face was full of anger, and her high heels clacked loudly. However, upon seeing the director, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately put on a sweet smile and said coquettishly,
"Hello, Director. I am Jiang Meng Mei from Tian Yu Entertainment. My sister is the future daughter-in-law of the Chu family, Jiang Meng Ran."
The Chu family. Jiang Meng Ran. Quan Jiu thought she had become impervious to poison after five years, but she didn't expect to tremble again upon hearing these familiar, painful names.
Jiang Nan Chen noticed her abnormality and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing that Quan Jiu's forehead was covered in sweat, he quickly asked for a fan and personally fanned her.
Quan Jiu waved her hand, trying to calm her emotions. "It's nothing. Let's begin."
Jiang Meng Mei then noticed the woman wearing a mask and sunglasses. Why was Director Jiang showing her so much concern? Also, why was she sitting on the judging panel? Could she be the predetermined female lead?
Thinking of this, her anger surged. "Oh, isn't this Hot Sister? Why don't I see your sugar daddy? He must have invested a lot in the crew to let you sit on the judging panel. What, are you a no-name escort who's also the predetermined female lead? What right do you have to sit there?"
Her words were extremely harsh. Jiang Nan Chen's face instantly darkened, and he directly called security. "Throw this ill-bred thing out. Don't dirty my place."
When had Jiang Meng Mei ever suffered such humiliation? She was so angry that she started cursing. "I wouldn't deign to come to your shabby place. What kind of crap are you? How dare you put on airs with me? Do you know who my brother-in-law is? The CEO of Chu Corporation. With just one word from my brother-in-law, your movie will never be released."
Quan Jiu clenched her fists tightly, but she couldn't suppress her anger any longer. She had been foolish before, allowing the Jiang sisters to trample on her for love, but now, her heart had long turned cold. She had no reservations.
She stood up and, like a noble empress, walked step by step towards Jiang Meng Mei.
"Slap~" A fierce slap landed on Jiang Meng Mei's face.
Jiang Meng Mei immediately shrieked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "How dare you hit me? I'll tear your vixen face apart."
But as soon as she raised her hand, Quan Jiu grabbed it. Unable to break free, she could only continue to curse, "Let go of me, you bitch. Offend me, and my brother-in-law..."
"Slap~" Another slap.
"You're dead."
"Slap~" The third slap.
Jiang Meng Mei was completely stunned and terrified. Her face was already red and swollen. She dared not provoke her further, but instead screamed and struggled to run.
When Jiang Meng Mei struggled the most, Quan Jiu suddenly loosened her grip. Jiang Meng Mei fell forward, her forehead hitting the steps, and blood immediately gushed out.
Jiang Meng Mei ran away as if fleeing a plague, cursing as she ran, "Bitch, you wait. I won't let you go. You're dead."
Quan Jiu's body, trembling with anger, gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath, sat back down as if nothing had happened, and smiled, "I've caused you trouble."
Jiang Nan Chen didn't mind. "Well done. If I weren't a man, I would have pinned her to the ground and beaten her."
...
After Jiang Meng Mei ran out of the film crew in embarrassment, she immediately called Jiang Meng Ran to cry and complain, "Sister, you must help me. Tell brother-in-law to destroy Jiang Nan Chen and that bitch."
Jiang Meng Ran was discussing the design of Chu Corporation's advertising campaign for the next month with her subordinates. Hearing her sister's gritted teeth, she had to put down her work to take the call.
"What's wrong? Weren't you going to the audition today? Did it not go well? Chu Corporation has decided to invest one hundred million yuan, and you didn't get the leading role?" She had clearly already informed Tian Yu.
"No." Jiang Meng Mei recounted the entire incident with embellishments, finally saying, "Sister, I want Jiang Nan Chen and that dead woman to be ruined and never be able to mix in this circle again. Help me ask brother-in-law to step in. With the Chu family's capabilities, destroying them is as easy as crushing ants."
Jiang Meng Ran verbally agreed, then said, "I'll have your brother-in-law apply pressure. You just need to explain the situation truthfully to Tian Yu Entertainment. Tian Yu is a subsidiary of Chu Corporation, so they will naturally file a lawsuit. We'll meet in court, and that bitch will definitely go to jail."
Jiang Meng Mei's mood improved slightly, and she chatted with Jiang Meng Ran about family matters. "Sister, when are you getting married to brother-in-law? It's been five years. As soon as you get married, I'll be the legitimate sister-in-law of the Chu family, and then who would dare to offend me?"
Jiang Meng Ran thought of Chu Rong's attitude towards her and felt a surge of irritation. "Alright, I have something else to do. I'm hanging up."
The little assistant waited for Jiang Meng Mei to hang up before advising, "Let's go to the hospital first. Your forehead is broken, and it might leave a scar."
Jiang Meng Mei's eyes lit up at this. "Yes, I must go to the hospital. Go to Yi He Hospital."
...
At Yi He Hospital, Guan Shi stepped off the operating table, took out his phone, and saw a message: The person is back in the country. His face lit up with joy, and he quickly opened his most frequently used chat window and sent a message: Are you here?
Soon, he received a reply: "Yes, I'm busy today. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
Guan Shi couldn't help but smile. The fatigue from the six-hour surgery vanished. "Okay, then tell me when you're free."
Several nurses standing in the distance were huddled together, swooning.
"Dr. Guan is too handsome. He's handsome, rich, capable, and has a good family background. Whoever marries him must have saved the Milky Way in their past life."
"I came to Yi He just for Dr. Guan. Oh my god, he smiles so brightly."
A little further away, Jiang Meng Mei was also looking at Guan Shi ahead with adoration. However, upon hearing the nurses' words, she immediately walked over in her high heels, her voice arrogant. "Toads wanting to eat swan meat."
The nurses' faces darkened, and one of them retorted, "I don't know who it is that tries to get close to Dr. Guan at every opportunity, without even looking at themselves in the mirror." After saying that, they dispersed with laughter.
Jiang Meng Ran was so angry that she cursed, "They're all bitches, seducing my Brother Guan Shi. They should at least pee and look at themselves." Then her expression changed, and she called out coquettishly, "Dr. Guan, my forehead is broken, it hurts so much. Can you take a look for me? Will it leave a scar? I'm so afraid."
The smile on Guan Shi's face suddenly disappeared, and he turned to leave, leaving the furious Jiang Meng Mei behind.
