Chapter 28 Contract Terminated
After saying that he wanted to give Chi Yaoxi a welcoming party, Xiao Ye took Chi Yaoxi to eat a big meal. After dinner, he saw that she was tired and wanted to send her home directly so that she could rest well.
Chi Yaoxi looked at her phone and confirmed that it was the 20th. Tomorrow was the 21st. According to her original schedule, she still had scenes tomorrow. She directly asked Xiao Ye to send her to the hotel.
Chi Yaoxi returned to the hotel and immediately took a hot bath.
After changing into her loose pajamas, she dried her hair and opened the webpage Instantly, Chi Yaoxi’s had a shocked expression.
The online media was really powerful!
It had only been two days, and “Chi Yaoxi was a suspect in the murder and was arrested by the police” had already been embellished and reposted, making it worse and worse.
Chi Yaoxi randomly browsed through the content on the Internet. It was too unexpected. She had never thought that she would occupy the top of Weibo’s trending search rankings because of such a false scandal and be labeled as a ‘murder suspect’.
It was really scary. Chi Yaoxi could predict the severity of the matter. Her original plan might be messed up, and the Golden Horse Awards and Best Actress campaign would definitely fail.
Good things don’t come out of doors, but bad things spread far and wide. Sigh! Chi Yaoxi sighed deeply.
Since the truth was out, and it had nothing to do with her, she had to persevere and face life.
Chi Yaoxi tried her best to console herself that it didn’t matter, all of this was just a rumor. A gust of wind would blow it away and everything would get better.
Chi Yaoxi was too exhausted, she didn’t have time to think and fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up the next day, it was already eight in the morning. Chi Yaoxi saw that Sister Ming did not drive to pick her up, so she took a taxi to the filming set.
When she arrived at the office, Chi Yaoxi knocked on the door and entered. She greeted her colleagues with a smile, but was surprised to find that everyone was busy with their own things and no one was paying attention to her.
Even if someone looked up, they would only give her a cold glance before continuing with their work.
Chi Yaoxi felt very awkward. Along the way, she had thought of many things to explain to her colleagues. She also expected to be neglected after the accident.
But she did not expect it to be so serious that the entire crew would ignore her.
Chi Yaoxi only paused for a moment, but she still put down her pride. She braced herself and took the initiative to ask the director about the scenes she was going to act in today.
The two directors were discussing a masterpiece when they heard Chi Yaoxi’s question. Director Liu’s eyes were frighteningly cold. He glanced at Chi Yaoxi disdainfully and said impatiently, “You’re asking about the scenes? Don’t you know that your contract has been terminated?”
Chi Yaoxi’s breathing stagnated for a few seconds before she asked in surprise, “How can you terminate the contract just like that? You have to figure things out before making a decision, right?”
The assistant director was a young man. As he passed by Chi Yaoxi, he snorted and laughed sarcastically. “What? Do you still think you’re a big star? Do you know how many new artists are waiting for this position? Times have changed, it’s time to change!”
Upon hearing this, the surprise in Chi Yaoxi’s heart turned into anger. She couldn’t help but say domineeringly and resolutely, “You guys are kicking me when I’m down! They haven’t even done a thorough investigation and it’s considered a breach of contract to terminate the contract in advance. I’m going to hire a lawyer to ask for compensation!”
The assistant director scoffed at Chi Yaoxi’s words. “Don’t be so confident. You are now a taint artist. If you’re talking about the termination of contracts, it should not only be our crew.”
Chi Yaoxi’s heart turned cold as she realized that things were far more serious than she had imagined
