Chapter 77: A company with no morals

As soon as he pressed it, a virtual image appeared in the middle of the table. All eyes moved to the laptop and then to Chi Zimo. Honestly, even he was confused about this. He hardly knew what most of the features on the laptop were. He was mostly using it for gaming because of its portability, speed and memory capacity.

"Is this a hologram?" The old master asked.

"I don’t know." Chi Zimo said.

"What do you know?" Chi Rui asked. He and Tang Siming were already crowding Chi Zimo and trying to study the lap top. Nobody had ever seen a laptop like this. The body was thin and light. It was even foldable to the extent that one could fit it in their pocket and walk.

"What kind of material is this?" Chi Wei asked.

"I don’t know. "

"Where did you get it from?"

"This was a gift from sister to me. You know she loves me the most." He showed off. His lips were curved into a mischievous smile.

Jun Muyang looked at Chi Lian aggrievedly. His eyes were asking, "What about me?"

Every other family member looked at her as well. Why did they not get such a lap top. They also loved technology. Chi Lian pretended not to see their pitiful looks. She had only one laptop what was she supposed to do for them?

"As your older brother, I am confiscating it." Chi Wei whispered.

"Sister." Chi Zimo started but Chi Wei and Chi Rui covered his mouth.

In the hologram, Hong Sian who appeared to be extremely sick and pale sat up and coughed fitfully. He had a bandage wrapped around his head and arms. He appeared to have survived a very horrible attack on his life.

"Mr. Hong, we got news that you were violently assaulted in Shenhao hotel during the black out, can you tell us what happened?" A reporter asked.

Hong Sian coughed again and his assistant helped him to take a sip of water.

Slowly, as if he were in terrible pain, he opened his mouth and spoke.

"I was meeting Jian Yu and her manager to discuss my investment in a movie whose script I recently received. We talked about things and came to an understanding. Then Jian Yu’s manager left the room to go to the bathroom. Suddenly Jian Yu tried to seduce me ask me for money because her company Shining star has terminated her contract and when I refused she attacked me viciously and then the lights went out and she escaped." He paused and coughed again.

"If you don’t believe me, we can bring her manager before you to answer your questions. At the advice of my lawyers, I have lodged a case against Jian Yu with the police and I believe justice will be served." He coughed again dramatically and a doctor came in and chased the reporters out.

The reporters outside went crazy with spreading the story.

"Did you beat him up to that extent?" Muyang asked Chi Lian.

"Of course not, I put him to sleep with my gun and escaped with Jian Yu."

"You should have beaten him up." He Weili said. "I have seen such pretentious people before. They commit crime and pretend to be the victims. Next time you meet someone like that, show no mercy."

"Yes Chi-Chi, if you get in trouble, the Jun family is there to back you up." The old madam encouraged her to employ violence freely.

Mama Chi who wanted to tell her daughter to avoid violence kept quiet. When the elephants are talking the ants should not interfere.

"Yes, I will be merciless from now on." She vowed.

"Zimo, check the articles and tell me what the response on the internet is."

"It’s not good sis, " After discovering the hologram feature, he was using it happily scrolling back and forth with restless fingers. "The general attitude is that most people are in support of Hong Sian. Some actors and actresses from shining star have come out to slander Jian Yu’s character.

There is a video of her slapping Little Miu circulating online. Apparently sister Yu wanted Little Miu to give up a role in the movie High school diaries.

"What? I didn’t slap her, we were practicing privately for the audition. Its just that we were competing for the same role. Little Miu didn’t get the role because she was late on the day of the audition so the director chose me. " Jian Yu was quick to defend herself.

Shining star entertainment has also said her contract was terminated because of her loose character."

Jian Yu banged her fist on the table. "They really didn’t waste any time to slander my character because they know I will not hesitate to expose them for selling their celebrities out for roles and money."

"What do you mean by that?" Chi Lian asked.

"Shining star media sells their celebrities out for sex in order to get investors especially young and new wannabe celebrities that have no connections. That place is a wolf’s den. They managers are encouraged to get their stars hooked on drugs so that they can easily control them. I have survived so far because I have a few connections so they could not touch me. However, lately they have been claiming that I am getting older and they have fewer roles for me. My manager kept pushing me to engage in immoral behaviors to get roles but I refused. I told him I was leaving the company because my contract was expiring in a month.

And then rumors started going around that an investor was willing to invest one hundred million in a movie shot by the company but the condition was that they meet me and see if I am suitable for the role of female lead.

My manager said nothing was going happen that this movie was shining star’s last gift to me as a celebrity who made them a lot of money over the years. When we got to the hotel, that Hong Sian was waiting in the room, and then the manager left. I knew I was in trouble. If you hadn’t come_"

She stopped talking and cried.

Mama Chi and He Weili quickly hurried to comfort her. The poor thing, she had endured so much suffering.

"Yu-Yu." Chi Wei came over to join the circle of women comforting Jian Yu.

"Get lost." Mama Chi dismissed her son away from Jian Yu like an overprotective mother hen. Chi Lian wondered if this was the same woman that kept advertising her single sons everywhere in order to get them wives. Why was she now chasing her son away from a single woman?

It was a sad and funny moment at the same time. Chi Rui and Chi Zimo muffled their laughter with their hands.

The food and plates were cleared away from the table and fruits were brought in because everybody was too invested in the current drama to walk away.

"So how do we proceed?" Chi Rui asked his sister.

"You should by digging up dirt on the big boss of shining star, the managers and Hong Sian. Start with the managers. It will be easy to get them all to turn on their boss once you have their lives in your hands. The boss will be the one to give up Hong Sian." A new voice joined the conversation.

"Oh, Siming’s wife, that’s a god idea." He Weili said.

The plan was simple and pretty straight forward. They would all turn on each other to save their own skins.

"Madam, I have told you over and over to call me by my name Xue Lili, I even went to school with Chi Lian, why is it that none of you remember me."

Chi Lian had no memory of the woman. She always found her quite familiar but the name and face didn’t come to her.

"Chi Lian, we used to be desk mates in junior high,"

The girl in Chi Lian’s memory was chubby and wore glasses. She left the country because her parents moved to the American empire back then. While she used to be friends with the old Chi Lian, the new one did not know her.

"Fatty Lili." Chi Lian faked the shock.
