Chapter 380 The lion opens its mouth
Zhen Zhende suspended filming for the drama after recording a variety show with the actors from the previous drama.
She prepared herself in the dressing room, fully made up, and in high heels, reviewed the script again, just to prevent her skirt from wrinkling and ruining the look.
Qiang Ge and his assistant, Da Dou, quietly accompanied Zhen Zhen, carrying her personal belongings.
"Sister Zhenzhen, this is an unfamiliar number." DouDou handed her the phone.
Zhen Zhen took the phone and saw that it was a call from her hometown. Her brows furrowed in displeasure.
The phone kept ringing incessantly, urging her to answer it quickly.
Zhen Zhen thought, it might not be those people. What if it's someone else's phone number? Many producers, directors, and artists know this phone number.
She answered the call immediately, followed by a barrage of harsh insults.
"You bastard, you really did block me. Let me tell you, I've brought your maternal aunt to Beijing. We're going to a hospital in Beijing right now, and you'd better come and pay the medical bills."
The voice that sent chills down her spine was like a key to unlocking memories deep within her brain; her body reacted even before the memories themselves.
She was also afraid of her aunt, so afraid that her scalp would tingle and her hands would tremble uncontrollably whenever she heard her voice.
Qiang immediately noticed something was wrong with her, "Zhen Zhen?"
Zhen Zhen raised her head, her forehead already covered with a thin layer of sweat that gleamed coldly in the light.
Who are the people that can elicit such a strong reaction from Zhen Zhen? Brother Qiang knows.
Qiang took her hand and led her to a chair, saying, "Sit down and rest for a bit."
Once Zhen Zhen calmed down a bit, Qiang Ge asked her, "What do they want?"
Zhen Zhen's lips trembled. "Her mother is sick and asked me to pay for her medical expenses."
Zhen Zhen's relatives are truly shameless.
Not content with her own uncle's family leeching off her, Zhen Zhen is now even taking care of her aunt's maternal family.
Brother Qiang sighed and patted her shoulder, "It's okay, it's okay, money makes things easy."
"But I don't want to satisfy her anymore."
Zhen Zhen raised her wet eyes, looking pitiful and helpless.
“That’s a bottomless pit. I’ve given them a lot of money since I started working here, and I think I’ve had enough.”
Qiang didn't say anything, he just looked at her quietly.
DouDou stepped forward at the right moment, wiped the sweat off her forehead with a tissue, and then touched up her makeup.
After thinking for a while, Qiang told Zhenzhen.
"Okay, this time, let's let them take a big gift package home. You focus on recording the show, and I'll figure out the best way to handle this."
He and Zhen Zhen have come this far, and he truly wants to say something from the bottom of his heart.
That is, they treat each other as family, truly like brothers and sisters.
"Okay." Zhen Zhen had just agreed when her phone, which had fallen to the ground at some point, rang again.
DouDou walked over and picked it up. "Sis, it's the same phone number as before."
Brother Qiang reached out his hand, "I'll take it."
Zhen Zhen was only going to get scolded, and it would also affect her work for a while.
He's the most suitable person to answer this call.
"Hello, Zhen Zhen is busy with work. I am his agent, Brother Qiang."
Qiang answered the phone and put it on speakerphone.
Unwilling to give up, Zhen Zhen casually pressed the call recording button.
Since we've decided to put an end to this, we'll stop giving them money.
Every phone call is evidence and should be preserved.
"Bullshit! Busy? You're lying to me. Let her answer the phone. What kind of Brother Qiang is this? I think you're more like Bald Qiang. You're just Sancao's dog. You have no right to talk to me."
The man started swearing as soon as he opened his mouth, and the three people present didn't look too happy.
He swears constantly and has a terrible temper. If he's not Liang Chao, the uncle's son, who else could be so rude?
After a moment's pause, Brother Qiang still smiled and said, "If you want to talk, then speak properly and be respectful. Talk to me. If you don't want to talk, I'll hang up now."
His tone was smiling, but his attitude was firm.
"You dare? After you hang up the phone, I'll put up banners at the hospital, hire online trolls to give her TV dramas bad reviews, and write all the things about her childhood into long essays so your fans can see what kind of person their goddess really is?"
Zhen Zhen had no doubt about the truth of his words; Liang Chao was really capable of doing these things.
He was a good-for-nothing child and didn't score high enough on the high school entrance exam. His uncle paid a high price to get him into high school.
Later, because the girl joined a group fight, she crippled someone.
They paid a large sum of money in compensation, and the uncle even broke his own leg so that the other parents wouldn't send Liang Chao to prison.
Later, Liang Chao just stayed in the small county town, neither working nor farming.
Liang Chao, to put it bluntly, is a complete hoodlum who is reckless and ignorant of his own limitations.
Zhenzhen thought about how many years of hard work had led to the life she had today.
Newly released TV dramas, TV dramas currently in production, and various endorsements...
If something happens to her, even if she is in the right, the data for her work will be affected.
Not only could she not afford the penalty for breach of contract, her acting career also came to an end.
She will never have the chance to go from being an extra to a lead actress again.
Thinking of this, she grasped Qiang Ge's hand and said silently, "Let's take it easy."
Qiang Ge then said to Liang Chao, "Zhen Zhen is indeed working. Which hospital are you at? Once Zhen Zhen finishes her work, we'll go there to pay the bill."
Liang Chao was extremely pleased with himself; now he knew how formidable his opponent was.
Hmph~ What kind of so-called celebrities and actors are they? Aren't they just Liang Chao's ATM?
"Tell Sancao to remember that when she was a child, she was a bitch that I could bully anytime. No matter how old she is, I can crush her."
"Since you can't come, transfer me 10 yuan to pay your hospital fees."
The lion opened his mouth.
However, Brother Qiang is not so easily fooled.
"100,000? Let alone Zhen Zhen not having that much money. Even if all of us staff pooled our money together, we couldn't transfer that much via WeChat. Wouldn't that delay her medical treatment? It would be terrible if something happened to the old lady."
Liang Chao remained silent, clearly pondering Qiang Ge's words.
Zhen Zhen patted Qiang Ge on the shoulder and held up one finger.
Qiang Ge said in a friendly tone, "How about this? I see Zhen Zhen has over six thousand in her WeChat account, I'll transfer it to you first."
As expected of Brother Qiang, he managed to cut the price from 100,000 to 6,000.
Zhenzhen gave him a thumbs up.
The person on the other end of the phone said with obvious disdain, "How can she be so poor!"
"Zhen Zhen has been working very hard to earn money. She gave all the money she earned before to you, and she doesn't have much left."
Qiang Ge complained so that they would all think Zhen Zhen had no money, otherwise Zhen Zhen would suffer a huge financial loss.
Liang Chao thought that something was better than nothing, so he said, "Give me some money, I need ten thousand."
"This..." Qiang Ge hesitated.
Zhen Zhen was also surprised that Liang Chao's brain had improved.
"You son of a bitch, if you can do it, then do it; if you can't, then forget it. Stop being so wishy-washy." Liang Chao was clearly losing his patience.
Qiang had no choice but to agree, "Okay."
"Three herbs!"
When her aunt's voice came again, Zhen Zhen shrank back in fright.
"The driver took us to the best hospital in the city, the Golden Dragon Fish Hospital. When I saw it, I thought, 'Wow, it's so beautiful!' I knew you couldn't afford it. We only came to the First People's Hospital of Beijing. Auntie is still saving you money..."
Liang Chao, annoyed by her nagging, retorted directly:
"Why are you saying all this nonsense? My phone is about to die. It wasn't Sancao Jian Gutou who answered the phone. We're in the cardiac surgery department of this hospital. Once she finishes her work, you guys come right away. If I can't see her today, I'll just send a short video."
