Chapter 209 Negative News
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and "Sword Shadow of the Solitary Moon" was officially released.
Neither Ren Qianshui nor Pei Su went to the company. Communication is so convenient nowadays. If there is anything, they can communicate directly by phone or video.
However, the two of them may not be able to get a good rest by staying at home. In their current position, they have to take advantage of this festival to contact their colleagues in the circle, staff they have worked with before, investors, etc., and maintain relationships that may be genuine or superficial.
When the phone rang, Ren Qianshui didn't pay attention to who it was, and directly picked it up: "Hello, Happy New Year!"
"Oh, you still know it's New Year!" Hearing Lin Hefang's sarcastic words coming from the other end of the phone, Ren Qianshui fell silent.
The other party didn't pay attention to her silence and started to speak rapidly.
"I heard from Zhuyue that your movie was released and you gave her a ticket to watch it? Why didn't you give tickets to your sister, brother-in-law, and brother and sister-in-law? How come you can't tell the difference between relatives?"
"Zhuyue also helped me promote it! What did Shao Yuanyuan and Ren Qianli do for me?"
"Well, we didn't know about that! If you had told us earlier that the movie was coming out, wouldn't we have helped you promote it?"
"How can you help me spread the word? Just post it in the loving family group?"
"I don't understand that, but Qianshui, as your family, we are definitely the ones who support you the most and want you the best!"
"Okay~ Why don't you go buy tickets to support me first!"
Lin Hefang was stumped by this and the topic returned to the original point: "You can give tickets to Chen Zhuyue, why can't you give tickets to us? And you want us to buy them ourselves?"
"Didn't you say you support me? You can't even buy me a movie ticket? Then your support means nothing! It's all empty promises, you're just kidding me! You said you're my closest person, but you don't even want to buy me a movie ticket. I'm really sad~"
Lin Hefang didn't reply immediately, but she seemed to hear Shao Yuanyuan's voice: "Mom, give me the phone, I'll talk to her."
"Hello? Qianshui, I'm your sister, Yuanyuan."
"Oh."
The other party didn't expect her not to respond and was choked.
"I heard that your movie is coming out. How about we go and book the theater for you as a group of relatives and friends?"
"Do you still understand this?"
"Don't I have a younger sister who's a big star? As her elder sister, of course I have to know more about her!" Shao Yuanyuan's voice didn't sound much different, except that she seemed a little tired?
"Okay, as an older sister, you can pay out of your own pocket to book a theater to watch a movie in order to support your younger sister. Well, that's great! Then let me say thank you first!"
"No, Qianshui, I mean it would be better if you booked the theater and invited all our relatives to watch it. If it makes the news, netizens can also see that you are not only successful in your career, but also have a harmonious family relationship. It will be a good story to spread it around."
"Oh, that's a good idea!" Lin Hefang agreed loudly.
"Forget it, I've been on the hot searches enough recently, don't occupy public resources for such trivial matters." Ren Qianshui smiled at this point: "I thought Shao Yuanyuan, you are so stingy that you are willing to spend money! I was moved for nothing."
Isn't it just sarcastic? Although she can say that, she thinks it's more comfortable to say it directly.
"How can you talk like that? You have no respect for your parents!" Shao Yuanyuan was raised by Lin Hefang with great pampering since she was a child. Now that she has grown up, her personality is exactly the same as the other one. She can lecture people casually from a commanding position.
"Ms. Lin Hefang can just say this. Shao Yuanyuan, you should stop acting like a mean middle-aged woman. Doudou may not like a mommy like this~"
"I don't want to tell you, you are a big star now, you look down on us, right? But since we are talking about Doudou, as an aunt, you are reluctant to give me a movie ticket instead of a lucky money?"
It was the same with Shao Yuanyuan and Lin Hefang. Originally, Ren Qianshui didn't mind giving red envelopes to those younger generations, but the two of them just didn't talk to each other properly, so she didn't want to give out the red envelopes she had prepared.
"Okay, then I'll treat the kids at home to a movie! I'll let Zhuyue take care of this, I'll hang up now!"
After Ren Qianshui finished speaking, he hung up the phone without caring that the other party was still shouting "wait".
She thought that Shao Yuanyuan must have something to ask her this time, but she didn't tell her at first, and she also wanted her to book a theater and invite all relatives to watch a movie? Is this the way to ask for help?
But by doing this, she also got rid of the slight hesitation in her heart.
But since she had said she would treat him to a movie, she still had to keep her promise. Coincidentally, Chen Zhuyue also sent a message at this time.
[Sister, I'm sorry o(╥﹏╥)o I just sent a message to my friends circle but forgot to group them. I didn't expect that Sister Yuanyuan saw it (╥╯^╰╥)]
[It's okay. By the way, I'll send you some more tickets. You can take your kids to watch it! ]
[Okay, leave it to me! ]
After Ren Qianshui and Chen Zhuyue finished talking, they were about to exit Jianxin when they saw Shao Yuanyuan's dialog box prompting that there was new message.
[Qianshui, your brother-in-law has had some problems recently. If he can't handle it well, he might be in danger of going to jail. Can you help him? Just think of it as helping your sister. Thank you in advance.]
[What's the matter? I'm just a small artist, so I shouldn't be involved in your industry, right? ]
[Didn’t your brother-in-law get promoted to a supervisor? Now the company’s accountant comes to check the accounts and says your brother-in-law’s account is not right. He says that if he doesn’t make up the missing 1 million, he will sue him and put him in jail!]
【Did your husband take it? 】
【...】
[What do you mean? Did you really take it?]
[How is that possible? You know your brother-in-law is a very honest person and would never do such a thing.]
[Are you sure? Also, I don't even know you, how do I know if your husband is doing his job? Since he didn't take it, he's not afraid of being investigated. An accountant can't wrongly accuse someone, right? I thought it was something else! Don't worry, we are in a society ruled by law now, no one can wrongly accuse someone for no reason! ]
[Now they want to sue him, just tell me whether you will help or not]
[Just sue, and everything will be fine once the investigation is complete. Why are you panicking? ]
[What if, what if someone deliberately framed him? ]
[Then tell me honestly, did your husband take the money? ]
[I, I really don’t know, he told me he didn’t take it]
[I think you should call the police and let them investigate. The police will never wrongly accuse a good person.]
[Ren Qianshui, you can't be so heartless. Your brother-in-law is about to go to jail. Can you lend me some money first so we can plug the hole first and then investigate slowly? ]
[What did you say? Why did your husband have to pay for something he didn't do? You are lying to me, right? Your husband did take it.]
Afterwards, Shao Yuanyuan kept making excuses, her purpose was to borrow one million from Ren Qianshui. She simply ignored him later.
I thought the matter was over, but two days later, around midnight on the third day of the Chinese New Year, as the box office statistics for "Sword Shadow of the Lone Moon" were completed that day, they had just sent out the good news, and a piece of negative news about Ren Qianshui quietly climbed onto the hot search list.
