Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 609 Retribution
The next day around noon, #YangYingCarAccident# became the number one trending topic.

"Around 2:10 AM today, a Ferrari sports car crashed into a greenbelt on a road in Chaoyang District, Beijing. The front of the Ferrari was severely damaged. Witnesses at the scene said the car was traveling at an extremely high speed. After the accident, witnesses immediately rushed to check on the situation and provided assistance. It is understood that the owner of the car is actress Yang Ying, who has been taken to the hospital for treatment. The circumstances of the accident are still under further investigation."

"Early this morning, actress Yang Ying was involved in a serious car accident while driving in Beijing. She has been sent to the hospital for treatment, and the extent of her injuries has not yet been confirmed. Drunk driving has been preliminarily ruled out as the cause of the accident."

No one expected such a news story to break at the end of the year.

As expected of a top influencer, Yang Ying's car accident has garnered countless online attention.

It's just that we don't know which hospital she's in yet, otherwise her fans would have stormed the hospital.

No one knows why she was speeding late at night, and it doesn't seem to matter anymore.

The news was quickly confirmed by Yang Ying's studio; it was indeed Yang Ying who was in the car accident.

"Thank you for your concern. Please refer to the official announcement for the accident investigation and liability determination."

The next morning, the traffic management department issued a notice stating that the cause of the accident was speeding, and that there was no drunk driving or drug driving. At the time, only the driver, Yang Ying, was in the car.

As for the relevant penalties, further investigation is needed.

This car accident was serious in some ways, but not so serious in others.

Yang Ying is at least not in mortal danger; she just hit her head, suffered a concussion, and broke her leg.

I'm awake now, but I'm feeling terrible lying in the hospital bed.

Putting aside the saying that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune, this car accident really terrified her. Even now, thinking back on it, she still feels lingering fear, genuinely worried that she would have died on the spot.

Now that she's awake, after thinking about her safety, her second thought is about her job.

Oh no, I'm so badly injured, all my work is ruined. I hope I won't have to pay a penalty for breach of contract.

It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, and you'll see me in three months. How much compensation will that cost?

After Yang Ying regained consciousness, people came to the hospital to visit her one after another.

Mr. Dong didn't come in person; he sent a secretary with a fruit basket and said a few words to her.

They didn't criticize her at all, just told her to focus on recovering.

Even the most despicable boss wouldn't ask a wounded worker with a broken leg to get up and work again, would they? They'd at least say a few kind words, wouldn't they?

Zhejiang TV also sent a representative to express their condolences. Yang Ying said that she would go back to record the new season of "Running Man" once she recovered from her injury, and she would definitely not delay the station's work.

But the representative from Zhejiang TV said, "There's no rush to record the program. Focus on recovering and we'll wait for you."

However, he immediately reported to the station that Yang Ying would need three to four months to recover from her injury, and even if she recovered, she might not be able to withstand the high-intensity physical games of "Running Man". He suggested using a backup MC.

Isn't this a coincidence?
In the autumn, Jiaxing wanted to put Dilraba into "Running Man". Zhejiang TV had been reluctant to agree before, after all, Yang Ying was fine at the time and could not be replaced, and adding a female MC was even more impossible. But now that she is injured, a pie fell from the sky and hit Dilraba on the head.

Autumn and Jiaxing are taking action again, determined to take down Lantai this time.

Li Qiutang, who works in Huairou, felt like she was reading a novel; it was so dramatic!

Is this what they call karma?

He went crazy on someone's wedding day two months ago, and now he's getting his comeuppance.

After seeing the news about this incident, Li Qiutang lectured his wife: "So, even if you don't do many good deeds, you should at least be humble, low-key, and kind to others, otherwise you'll suffer retribution sooner or later." "Do you have to tell me all this at a time like this?" Liu Yifei was exhausted; this bastard hadn't put in any effort at work today.

Li Qiutang held his wife and gently stroked her back.
The wife gave a soft moan and hugged her husband tightly.

Instead, it was Liu Yifei who brought up Yang Ying's car accident. She didn't like to talk about retribution; an accident is an accident. Being in the hospital after a car accident is not a good thing for anyone. Her upbringing didn't allow her to make any sarcastic remarks.

"Although I don't like her as a person either," Liu Yifei said, leaning back in the bathtub. "Ugh, don't put your feet on me."

"The bathtub is so small, there's nowhere for my long legs to fit." What a shameless person.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and removed his foot from her stomach.

"Why don't you like her anymore? You two shouldn't have any connection, right?"

"We don't run into each other while filming, but we've met a few times at events," Liu Yifei continued. "She's actually a very nice person and is very polite to everyone."

“Everyone at the event was very polite,” Li Qiutang said.

"I know." Liu Yifei slapped his foot. "Let me finish."

"Okay, okay, you say."

Liu Yifei continued, "Well, it's true that she's very polite to everyone at events, but sometimes her enthusiasm goes too far, like..."

Liu Yifei's mind went blank, unable to find the right words. Li Qiutang added, "Fawning and ingratiating?"

“A little.” Liu Yifei agreed with Li Qiutang’s answer. “When we first met, she acted like she knew me very well. She knew I liked cats and dogs, jewelry, sports cars, and coffee, and then she would specifically talk to me about these topics. She even said she wanted to come to my house. At that time, she and Xiaoming hadn’t broken up yet.”

"What's the big deal? You're making a mountain out of a molehill." Li Qiutang thought she would say something shocking, but it turned out to be just this. It's perfectly normal in social situations.

This is also a major reason why even Li Qiutang thinks his wife is a true white lotus. She has never "worked hard" to fight for resources. She doesn't know that everything she has now is something other artists would be willing to pay any price to exchange for.

To outsiders, she seemed to have it so easy, able to obtain resources that others could only dream of with a wave of her hand.

She disdains flattering others and doesn't like others flattering her. In her view, one should strive for resources in a dignified manner, meeting directors, producers, supervisors, and company bosses, rather than fawning and obsequiously trying to please them.

After hearing her words, Li Qiutang stood up, stepped out of the bathtub, and said, "You've truly become an immortal."

"Aren't you going to soak anymore?"

"If I fall asleep while soaking, I'll go back to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Lie down with me a little longer."

"Go ahead and soak in the bath, I'm going to sleep." Li Qiutang ignored her, finished drying herself, and left.

Liu Yifei found it boring to take a bath alone, so she finished and went out.

"Honey, what do you think our future children will be like?" Women in their gestation period are terrifying; even in bed, she's still thinking about these things.

The only response she received was the sound of Director Li snoring as he slept.

"Ugh," Liu Yifei muttered to herself, then closed her eyes, preparing to go to sleep.
