"I'm sorry, Mr. Aiken. Or you should look for someone else." Ning Xi didn't give him any room for bargaining. This is the price you pay for your indecisive stance and for standing me up. I'll feel uncomfortable if I don't let you bleed a little.
Besides, she really doesn't care whether she takes this project or not, there are plenty of projects.
Seeing Ning Xi's firm attitude, Aiken was helpless: "Okay, our company will do another evaluation and contact you then."
"Okay." Ning Xi smiled slightly, a confident smile.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Aiken, Ning Xi just returned to the car when she received a call from Chen Tao: "Sister Ning Xi, is Sister Su Ran back?"
"No, she said she would stay there for two more days and would be back on Sunday."
Ning Xi heard Chen Tao's voice was a little hesitant and anxious, so she asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Sister Ning Xi, I got the news that Brother Feng was arrested. I called Brother Feng but no one answered."
Ning Xi was startled: "Where did you hear this news?"
"It's a buddy of mine. He was at the bar last night, and then the police rushed in and arrested a group of people. He seemed to have seen Brother Feng, but he couldn't be sure. I have been calling Brother Feng since last night, but his agent didn't answer the phone."
Ning Xi became nervous, it seemed that this was true.
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask Yu Li, she's more informed."
"Okay, let me know as soon as you have any news. Never mind, I'll just go to your studio!"
Ning Xi called Yu Li immediately.
"Hello, Yuli."
"Sister Ning Xi, I was just about to call you."
"ah?"
"I got the news that Brother Feng was arrested for taking drugs, and some media outlets are going to release the news soon."
Taking drugs? Ning Xi's heart sank. When Chen Tao said Shen Yifeng was caught in a bar, she had a bad feeling.
"Is it confirmed?"
"I don't know."
"How could Brother Feng take drugs? He is such a righteous person." Ning Xi was anxious. If this was confirmed, Shen Yifeng's acting career would be completely over. Both the public and the official have zero tolerance for drug use.
"We can't stop the media here, Sister Ning Xi, quickly think of a way to contact Brother Feng or the police and find out more!"
"Okay, I'll go listen right away."
Ning Xi hung up the phone, found Captain Bai's number and dialed it.
Bai Yuming had just returned to the office after lunch and picked up Ning Xi's call.
"White Team."
"Ms. Ning, didn't Su Ran call you?"
"It's not Su Ran's business. I already know that your mission was successfully completed. Now I want to ask you for a favor."
Team White sneered, asking him for help would definitely not be a good thing.
"Speak!"
"I have a friend named Shen Yifeng. He was arrested by the police last night on charges of drug use. Can you help me verify whether he really used drugs?"
The White Team frowned.
Shen Yifeng? He knew this person, an actor with good acting skills and reputation.
"I can help you find out." Team White agreed.
It's not like I'm asking him to rescue someone, so I can still help.
Chen Tao gathered everyone to rush to Su Ran's studio to wait for news. The internet was already in an uproar. Shen Yifeng, who had always presented a positive image, was rumored to have been involved in a drug scandal. This was like a bombshell. Now they could only hope that there was some misunderstanding, because the news only said that Shen Yifeng was arrested for drug use last night, with no other details.
Ning Xi finally came back, looking very unhappy. Chen Tao and others felt their hearts in their throats when they saw Ning Xi's expression.
"Brother Feng was indeed arrested. Marijuana was seized at the scene, and his urine test was positive. He was drunk when he was arrested. The police have begun interrogating him, but the results of the interrogation are not out yet." Ning Xi said sadly.
She still doesn't want to believe this is true.
But Captain Bai would not lie to her, and what he knew was first-hand.
“How could this happen, Brother Feng…” Liu Yayi cried.
Brother Feng, whom she respected so much, was taking drugs.
The others held their heads or covered their faces, all with a look of despair.
"It's over, Brother Feng is finished." Deng Zian murmured.
"Not only is Feng Ge finished, 72 Hours is also finished." Chen Tao was in a terrible mood.
Such a huge investment, so many people's hard work, just because Feng Ge took drugs, all the efforts and hard work were wasted. The leading actor of an anti-drug blockbuster actually took drugs. Is there anything more ironic than this
When my dad found out about this, he was completely stunned.
The only sound in the office was Liu Yayi's sobbing, and the air pressure was so low that it made it hard to breathe.
Suddenly someone said, "I don't believe that Feng Ge would take drugs. I don't believe it. I have known Feng Ge for such a long time and I have never seen Feng Ge take drugs. He doesn't look like a drug user at all."
It’s Qi Lei, Qi Lei said with a firm look.
"I don't believe it either." Song Haoyu shook his head: "Brother Feng is a responsible person. He has always been self-disciplined. He clearly knows that this is a red line that cannot be crossed. Why would he touch it? That would not only harm himself, but also the partners."
"I also hope that what you said is right, but who among those who take drugs doesn't know that it's wrong? Yet there are still some people who can't resist the temptation. There are more than one or two people in the circle who have been arrested for taking drugs." Deng Zian said helplessly.
Knowing is one thing, but being able to do it is another.
"Is it possible that Brother Feng was framed?" Liu Yayi asked weakly.
"It must be." Qi Lei's attitude was still so firm. He would not believe it anyway unless Brother Feng admitted it himself.
No one else said anything, and the urine test results were out. It was impossible that he hadn't smoked. So does it make any difference whether it was his first time or he was just a habit
No one will forgive you for your first mistake.
"I say, can you please not be so dejected? I think it's impossible for Shen Yifeng to take drugs on his own initiative. Wasn't he drunk when he was arrested? And the police are only interrogating him now, which means he has just sobered up. He has been drunk since last night, which means he is very drunk. Who can guarantee that Shen Yifeng was not taking drugs while drunk?" He Tong, who had been silent on the side, spoke up.
"I think we should wait for the results of the police interrogation before making any conclusion."
He Tong's words made Ning Xi regain her confidence: "I think He Tong's analysis is correct. I believe Shen Yifeng is not a person without sense of propriety. Who were the people with him last night? Is there any possibility of a frame-up? These are still open to discussion."
Chen Tao immediately said: "We have to find someone quickly."
"Who are you looking for?" Deng Zian looked confused. Looking for someone to rescue the person? Looking for someone to settle this matter
It seems a bit difficult.
Chen Tao said: "Find a lawyer. No matter what the situation is, you need to hire a lawyer. I still can't contact Feng Ge's agent. I think there is something wrong."
Feng Ge’s agent knew about his relationship with Feng Ge and also knew his identity. How could he not answer his call
