The sweetest in the entertainment industry
Chapter 502 Response
There was a driver and an assistant in the car. Chen Lei trusted Gu Lanxi because she believed she was valuable enough to win Gu Lanxi's heart.
Once the two become partners with shared interests, Gu Lanxi will naturally keep quiet about it.
But the two of them were unfamiliar to Chen Lei; they were just ordinary workers earning a fixed salary.
You can't expect others to be kind-hearted if there's no conflict of interest.
Therefore, she didn't say many details in front of the two of them. Instead, she took out her phone, typed them in Notepad, and then showed them to Gu Lanxi.
For example, her current company goes to great lengths to sign her, but becomes vague when it comes to substantive matters.
However, taking advantage of her eagerness to change careers and the expiration of her contract with her original company, they pressured her to renew it, offering her a huge promise.
For example, starting last month, a senior executive of a company started trying to set her up with someone, saying that a big shot had taken a liking to her and that if she agreed, he would do this and that.
She has a stable relationship, and her boyfriend treats her very well, so it was impossible for her to agree to this, which led to this cruise trip.
If it's true that the agent is talking to someone about cooperation on the cruise ship, then it's definitely to find resources for her; if it's not true, then she must be conspiring with someone to make things happen and achieve resource exchange in another way.
The incident just happened, and the police have not yet issued a statement. It's still too early to say whether the agent is taking the blame for her or has ended up losing more than she gained.
But Chen Lei knew clearly that someone was after her, and that ordinary people couldn't protect her.
At this time, Gu Lanxi, being a same-sex woman and married, was practically her chosen protector.
Seeing that she took the phone, looked at it seriously, pondered for a few seconds, deleted it casually, and then handed the phone back, Chen Lei finally felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.
Before she could speak, Gu Lanxi grabbed her wrist and simultaneously instructed the driver, Lao Li:
"We need to change our route and go to the hospital. Ms. Chen is so heartbroken that she's cried herself into dehydration, which has caused electrolyte imbalance. Her heart rate has suddenly increased, so just to be safe, we need to take her to the hospital!"
Without saying a word, Old Li changed his destination to the hospital.
"I……"
Chen Lei was like a frightened bird at this moment. The sudden change of plans, not going back to her house, nor to Gu Lanxi's house, and the blatant lies made her panic immediately!
Fortunately, she wasn't really stupid. Gu Lanxi had already explained things to this extent, so she naturally understood. She immediately put on her acting skills as a TV queen, clutching her chest and urging the driver to hurry up.
“Zhizhi, arrange for someone to release the materials I sent to the hospital. Tell Sister Mei that the materials at the airport don’t need to be stored anymore.”
The most important things now are, firstly, to categorize Chen Lei as a victim and create a persona of loyalty and righteousness for her; and secondly, to provide a plausible reason for her to help Chen Lei.
Sometimes, even the most brilliant ideas from a clever person don't always yield the same results as a seemingly dull child's quick wit.
It has to be said that Chen Lei's move at the airport was brilliant.
However, even if Chen Lei wants to sign with her studio, it will have to wait until this storm has passed and the time is right.
She still wants to survive in this industry and doesn't want to be blamed for poaching someone.
Ultimately, it's completely unnecessary to offend a veteran film company for the sake of Chen Lei.
As for whether Chen Lei will regret her decision after investing in the project?
She wasn't worried.
Offending her is no easier than falling out with the company.
After assigning the two staff members, Gu Lanxi pondered for a moment and then asked Chen Lei:
"Do you have a trustworthy law firm? You two have been working together for many years. Although the accident happened while she was out at sea on the weekend, as her boss, even if it's just out of humanitarian considerations, you should step in and assist her family to resolve this matter properly. At present, she is only missing. Is it possible that she fell into the water and was rescued? Is it possible that she went bankrupt from online gambling and smuggled herself to another country? We need to investigate the specifics in detail."
Chen Lei quickly grasped the key points. First, the agent is a sensible adult, and as the boss, she shouldn't interfere with what the agent does during her rest time.
Therefore, her disappearance or death has absolutely nothing to do with her, Chen.
She lends a hand only because she is a good person and values morality.
Secondly, the agent has disappeared without a trace, and a detailed investigation is needed to determine what happened. We must not hastily draw conclusions.
The clearer the investigation, the less likely it is to lead to speculation, thus ensuring her innocence to the greatest extent possible.
Chen Lei's wavering heart immediately calmed down.
"Yes, thanks to you for reminding me. When I first received the news, I was completely stunned. I was only thinking of asking you for advice and didn't even consider these things."
Gu Lanxi glanced at her, and seeing that her emotions had gradually stabilized, she whispered to her:
"As you probably know, the incident happened on a cruise ship in international waters. At this point, her family definitely needs a professional team with maritime and international lawyers at its core, and personal injury lawyers as support. You're really not thinking straight right now. As a friend, I suggest you be generous and pay this money. It will also fulfill your friendship."
Chen Lei further refined the key points.
First, to resolve this matter properly, she needs to find a lawyer specializing in maritime and international law. If it involves intentional injury, she will also need to find a lawyer specializing in personal injury.
Secondly, Gu Lanxi acknowledged her status as a friend, which is why she said there was no need to hold back the airport supplies.
Chen Lei blinked, her tone completely innocent: "This is my responsibility, but my agent has always been in charge of this, and I can't find anyone I can trust right now."
In front of Gu Lanxi, one must be responsible, but also foolish enough to soften her heart, yet not so foolish as to anger her. Chen Lei grasped this point quite well.
As expected, upon hearing this, Gu Lanxi sighed softly, picked up her phone, and called Liang Shizhao.
Liang Shizhao was not good at handling maritime cases, but he could recommend the most reliable people.
The car drove slowly toward the hospital. Chen Lei clutched her chest, breaking out in a cold sweat, making it clear to anyone that she was genuinely unwell.
Listening to Gu Lanxi making phone calls, finding a reliable team and negotiating the price in less than fifteen minutes, my anxiety suddenly vanished.
He was terrified by the threat to his life and, in a panic, wanted to seek refuge with Gu Lanxi.
Now I suddenly feel that following her might be a brilliant move.
Gu Lanxi doesn't take on many roles, but she has an abundance of resources. She's capable, protective of her friends, and might bicker with them occasionally, but when something really happens, she's gentle and reliable. Even if she's furious, she'll only give her a light slap.
There are too many underhanded tricks and schemes to play in this industry. Chen Lei's climb to her current position has been fraught with danger.
She genuinely wants to change her career path, get married, and then have a child in a couple of years when things are going well...
Signing up to Gu Lanxi might just mean some good days are coming...
With that in mind, she naturally did whatever Gu Lanxi arranged.
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital. Gu Lanxi simply jumped out of the car, walked around halfway, opened the car door for her, and carefully helped her out.
Although they were both wearing masks and sunglasses, people who knew them well could still recognize them.
Just as Gu Lanxi had predicted, Chen Lei underwent a checkup. After reviewing the report, the doctor told her that her heartbeat had subsided and the machine could not detect anything. It would be best to observe her in the hospital for two days. If this situation were to occur again, there would be time for a checkup.
So when the trending topic broke, the agent's family had already contacted the legal team that Chen Lei had funded.
Chen Lei herself was so overcome with grief that she fainted that day and had to go to the hospital for an IV drip. Truly, her love and devotion are profound! (End of Chapter)
