After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 473 This person is definitely suspicious; revenge must be taken on the same day.

dinner time.

Some people are already enjoying the buffet.

Some people are still working overtime to clarify the negative rumors.

Some people are still living in fear and have nowhere to vent their anger.

Someone is getting angry.

The director slammed his chopsticks on the table. "He still has the nerve to ask for compensation!"

After filming wrapped, the director watched the video of Jiang Hanying kicking out of the water several times, and even called over the cameraman and other staff members who were on set to ask them questions.

However, the video only captured that person getting too close to Jiang Hanying at the time, but it didn't actually capture where his hand reached out.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Hanying suddenly dived down and then kicked him away with a back kick.

The others present at the time reacted similarly; it was just that Jiang Hanying reacted incredibly quickly.

But if they had actually touched him then, even if they had seen it or taken a picture, it would have been too late; the person would have already suffered a loss.

The investigation has reached a stalemate unless the person himself honestly admits that he had malicious intentions at the time.

But unless someone is drunk and talking nonsense, they might accidentally reveal this. If they are of sound mind, they would definitely try to cover it up and not say anything.

The director was already annoyed when he received news that this person was demanding workers' compensation from the crew.

And they even exported 200,000 at a time!
Although he didn't lack the 200,000 yuan, the thought of giving it to someone who had attempted to molest his actress and might have done similar things before made him want to vomit.

"Who hired this person? Didn't I say that I need to do background checks on any crew member, even a handyman, beforehand? Anyone with a criminal record is absolutely unacceptable!"

Everyone looked at each other for a while before someone timidly raised their hand: "Me, I hired him. I thought he was experienced and had been in this industry for five or six years, so I hired him."

The director glared at him. "Then you're in charge of investigating this thoroughly. He dared to lay a hand on Jiang Hanying, a dignified second female lead. He might have done similar things on other sets before. You have his resume, right? Go back and check them one by one!"

The workload was absolutely overwhelming. The person who raised their hand looked miserable. "Director, maybe Jiang Hanying overreacted back then."

"You think I didn't consider this possibility?" The director laughed angrily, beckoning him over. "Look at the behind-the-scenes footage on the boat. Jiang Hanying's kick was so severe. If it were you, getting kicked like that while you were working, would you react the same way when you saw the person who kicked you? And on the shore, they even made eye contact. The one who kicked hadn't even reacted yet, but the one who was kicked looked away first. Although I'm not a psychology major, after directing for so many years, I can still tell what it means to be guilty from a person's expression! Obviously, this person definitely has a problem, it's just that we don't have evidence yet."

After watching the behind-the-scenes footage, the man touched the few hairs left on his head, gritted his teeth, and nodded: "Okay, I'll investigate!"

"We need to hurry, it will be too late once he posts it online."

Xin Linglong barely touched the food in front of her.

Finally, after waiting for her assistant to finish chatting, put down her phone, and look up, she eagerly asked, "So, did you manage to get rid of him?"

"He could, but he changed his mind and asked for five times the originally agreed price. He said that he couldn't continue working on the set after that. As long as he got the money, he would quit the industry."

Xin Linglong couldn't help but curse, "He really dares to ask for it. Jiang Hanying didn't lose anything, but in the end I have to pay so much. Does he think my money grows on trees? If I had known, I would have preferred to go through the trouble myself and not show up in person."

Hindsight is always 20/20!

She initially chose this person because he liked to grope the women in the crew. However, he usually targeted lower-ranking characters. Even if they were groped, the girls would generally choose to swallow their anger and not dare to make a scene for fear of retaliation, unless they quit the job and left.

There was a deal out there where you could make a move on the lead actor and get paid for it. If it got out later, you'd get double the money. She had her assistant mention it, and the other party agreed without hesitation. After all, it seemed like a win-win situation, and they both had dirt on each other. As long as they wanted to stay in the industry, they weren't afraid of being betrayed.

But despite all the careful planning, the situation that has already occurred was completely overlooked.

She really didn't intend to continue this deal, or rather, she was kicked out of the business by Jiang Hanying and couldn't continue at all!

After all, hospitalization alone would take several days, and this job isn't irreplaceable.

"What do you propose?"

The assistant couldn't think of a better solution either, and cautiously said, "How about we just give it to them?"

If filming had already wrapped up, that would be fine, since all the scenes had been filmed. Even if the director found out about this, he would have to accept it reluctantly. He couldn't very well recast the role of Consort Xiao.

But we've only filmed less than half of the scenes for this role. What if that guy gets angry and exposes them, and the director grits his teeth and insists on replacing them despite the losses so far?
"Think about it this way: if he exposes you now, not only will you have to return your salary, but you'll also have to pay a penalty for breach of contract. That's a much bigger loss. Even if he asks for five times the amount, it's still less than a tenth of those losses. Besides, the negative information about Jiang Hanying is still circulating online. Although it's negative information, it's still generating a lot of buzz. What if he accidentally gets involved this time..."

"Alright, alright," Xin Linglong said irritably, rubbing her head and waving her hand in exasperation. "Here, here, here, okay? Just transfer it to him now and warn him that this is the end of it. If he dares to mention it again, I'll sue him for extortion!"

After the assistant finished doing what she was told, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the dinner table, which had barely been touched. "This food..."

"I'm not eating anymore. I'm so angry."

The assistant had no choice but to get up and tidy up again, and finally picked up the trash bag to go out and throw away the trash.

As soon as she opened the door, she almost bumped into the person standing in the doorway, smiling at her. For a moment, she looked like she had seen a ghost. Her hand slipped, the trash bag fell to the ground, and leftover food was scattered all over the floor.

Xin Linglong was about to take a bath to relieve her frustration when she heard a noise at the door. "What is it now?"

As he spoke, he turned around, and his eyes widened instantly.

Jiang Hanying frowned when she saw the leftover food on the ground. It was such a waste!
Great, now there's another reason to beat someone up.

She stepped over the pile of trash, pushed aside Xin Linglong's assistant who was still blocking the doorway, and walked straight into the house.

Xin Linglong tried her best to remain calm, but when she opened her mouth, her trembling voice betrayed her nervousness.

"Jiang, Jiang Hanying, it's so late, why aren't you resting in your room? What are you doing in my room?"

"I accidentally ate too much, so I came over to chat with you."

"There's no such thing as a personal relationship between us, is there?"

"No? But I remember when we returned to shore after filming the water scene during the day, you were the most nervous about me on the whole set." Jiang Hanying said as she walked up to Xin Linglong, raised her hand and pinched her chin before Xin Linglong could react, forcing her to look up. "I didn't know you cared about me so much before, but it's not too late to know now."

He moved his hand down, grabbed her neck, and dragged her toward the bedroom in front.

If you have a grudge, you must avenge it on the same day.

Not even a day later.

The assistant, standing dumbfounded at the door: "..."

I wonder if slamming my head against the door would knock me unconscious.

Or, try?
