After ordering the food, Zi Beiying asked with curiosity, "Since your friend clearly knows that she'll be set up, why did she still come?"
Gu Ning didn't tell Zi Beiying the details, so Zi Beiying didn't understand why.
"The woman who asked me for help is a star. She couldn't refuse the social event arranged by her company, so she could only come here," said Gu Ning.
"I see!" Zi Beiying understood. Although stars seemed to be successful, they actually had a lot of helplessness in their hearts.
If they didn't attend the social event arranged by their company, their leader might be displeased and put them out of the entertainment industry.
When the dishes were placed on the table, they began to enjoy the meal. Gu Ning didn't neglect to keep an eye on them all the time.
Within 20 minutes, Bai Lin was forced to drink over 10 glasses of white wine. Luckily, Bai Lin was a good drinker, or she would have been drunk, but she also began to feel dizzy.
Moreover, in front of them, even if he only felt dizzy, he had to pretend that he was drunk.
After a while, Bai Lin stood up and went to the washroom.
Then, when Bai Lin went to the bathroom, the man next to her immediately did something to her. He threw a white pill into her cup and shook her quilt to make the pill melt quickly.
Seeing that, Gu Ning was displeased and sent a message to Bai Lin at once.
Gu Ning: When you leave the wine glass for a long time, you can't touch the wine glass again, because it's very likely that something that shouldn't have been put in it. Therefore, you deliberately broke it and replaced it with a new one.
Gu Ning didn't directly tell Bai Lin that her wine glass had been tampered with, because it would cause unnecessary speculation, so she could only say that.
Gu Ning also knew that Bai Lin was very smart, so she might have already thought of that problem.
Bai Lin had already thought of that when she went to the washroom, because it wasn't a new thing in the entertainment industry. Many female stars had fallen in love with it.
But she had no choice. She couldn't take it anymore. So after she went to the toilet, she planned to deliberately remove the blanket when she returned to her seat.
Even though she already had the idea, she still felt cold after reading Gu Ning's message. It was the first time that she had encountered such a thing, so she was inevitably scared.
All along, she had been unwilling to follow the unspoken rules, and the company did not force her. Hence, she did not receive many roles, did not have many dinners, and did not encounter any schemes.
When Gu Ning agreed to sign a contract with Fenghua Entertainment, she had considered terminating the contract with her previous company, but three million yuan was still a large sum of money for her.
Although it wasn't that she couldn't take it out, if she did, she wouldn't have much savings left.
Even though actors and actresses could earn millions or even tens of millions of yuan for a TV series, most of that money would go into the company's pockets. The actors and actresses would only get 20% or 30% of it. In other words, if they were paid 10 million yuan, they would only get 3 million yuan at most.
In addition, stars also spent a lot of money. Because they needed to dress themselves up, an ordinary piece of clothing often cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan. Formal dresses and a set of jewelry often cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Therefore, the amount of money saved was very, very little.
In addition, she hadn't acted in many TV series these years, and she had bought a house in the capital, so she didn't have much savings left.
There were only three months left, so she didn't want to spend the money to terminate the contract in advance. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened today.
Bai Lin didn't want to stay in the washroom for too long, so she stopped thinking about it. After she was done, she walked out and pretended to walk unsteadily. She supported her head with her hands, which made her look like a drunk woman.
Bai Lin returned to her seat and was about to sit down, when she suddenly let out an "ouch". Her hand suddenly fell and landed on her wine glass. Then, the glass was knocked over on the table, and the wine spilled.
Not only that, after the cup fell, it rolled to the side of the table, fell on the table, and fell to the ground, making a "bang" sound, and broke.
Bai Lin was a good actress, so everything happened naturally. No one could tell that she did it on purpose.
Even so, the others were all displeased.
Seeing that, Bai Lin was sure that there was indeed something wrong with the glass of wine. Although she didn't show it on her face, she felt cold in her heart.
If she hadn't thought so much and drank this glass of wine, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Sorry, I drank too much. I can't even hold my phone steadily," Bai Lin apologized at once.
"How can you be so careless?" Bai Lin's agent criticized her with displeasure.
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose," Bai Lin continued to apologize with a pitiful look.
"It's fine. I can change another glass." The man who had drugged Bai Lin pretended to be casual. Even if he felt uncomfortable, he couldn't show it on his face.
Since there was an accident this time, he could do it again later.
Before long, the waiter came back with a new glass, and Bai Lin poured the wine into it herself.
"Manager Lin, Manager Wu, Manager Wang, I'm sorry. I broke the glass by accident. I'll drink it as a punishment," Bai Lin said. Then she drank it first. Her attitude was sincere, so they couldn't be rude to Bai Lin.
In fact, it wasn't a big deal, and ordinary people wouldn't care about it. However, the glass of wine wasn't ordinary, and it was broken by Bai Lin. That was why they were so displeased.
"It's fine. It's just a glass."
"Right, right."
They laughed and didn't mind it at all. After that, it was over.
However, since they lost the chance to drug Bai Lin, they began to pour Bai Lin's wine into their mouths.
The more Bai Lin drank, the more uncomfortable she felt. Gu Ning thought that it couldn't go on like this. They had already finished, but they didn't intend to leave.
It wasn't that Gu Ning couldn't wait any longer, but it wasn't good for Bai Lin to keep drinking.
If Bai Lin wasn't an employee of Gu Ning's company, Gu Ning would have directly rushed in and taken her away. She wouldn't have watched Bai Lin drink until now.
After thinking for a while, Gu Ning took out her phone and called Bai Lin.
Although Bai Lin was in a business meeting, she could answer the phone. They wouldn't stop her from answering the phone.
Seeing that it was Gu Ning's call, Bai Lin was relieved.
