Because of the film's review, Ye Zhen deliberately met Mrs. Zhou at a cocktail party.
The two of them chatted happily. Mrs. Zhou liked her honesty and enthusiasm, while Ye Zhen liked her grace and gentleness. The two of them sat down and put the matter of the cocktail party aside. When Mrs. Zhou asked Ye Zhen what she had been busy with recently, Ye Zhen did not directly say that she was busy with the film review. Instead, she made some small talk.
Mrs. Zhou kept looking at her, which made Ye Zhen feel embarrassed.
"You're so smart. Are you embarrassed to say it in front of me?"
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I was thinking that I don't need to trouble you with the film."
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about the film review. I will talk to Mr. Zhou. The review will be passed as soon as possible."
"No," Ye Zhen rejected her. "Mrs. Zhou, thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to let Mayor Zhou use his official position for personal gain. What I mean is that I want the review department to review the film according to the law. However, if some scenes and plots do not meet the requirements, I hope the review department can give the film a reply as soon as possible."
Mrs. Zhou immediately understood what she meant.
It was not uncommon for people to slack off. A film could be delayed for at least a few months, or even a year or two.
The department could afford to delay it, but her film could not.
However, Ye Zhen's words did make Mrs. Zhou have a good impression of her.
As an official, the most taboo thing was to be associated with businessmen.
"I know what to say to Mr. Zhou."
Ye Zhen and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other and smiled. They did not say anything else about this topic.
Just as Mrs. Zhou said, the following days of the review were very smooth. Chaoxun Entertainment's connection with the review department was very smooth.
However, during this period, Ye Zhenting's case review was nearing its end.
Ye Zhenting's case went from arrest to prosecution to trial. After more than four months, the verdict was finally given.
Ye Zhenting was convicted of kidnapping and extortion. There were witnesses, evidence, and phone recordings. Ye Zhenting confessed to the crime and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The reason why Ye Zhenting pleaded guilty so quickly was probably because he felt that even if he appealed, the moment he stepped out of prison, he would be faced with loan sharks. Perhaps he wanted to save his life. In this day and age, there was only hope if he was alive. If he was dead, there would be nothing left.
Therefore, as long as the loan sharks didn't come to the prison, Mother Ye and Ye Qing wouldn't be harmed no matter what. At most, they would just take away their villa and car.
However, for the past four months, Mother Ye had been posting on Weibo every day, angrily accusing Ye Zhen of neglecting their father-son relationship and framing Ye Zhen. She also claimed that she would call the police and expose Ye Zhenting's true colors!
Mother Ye had even written a short article. The article described how Ye Zhen had ignored her Family Ye all these years, how she had been greedy for vanity, and how she had seized her brother-in-law. Between the lines, it was as if she wanted to trample on Ye Zhen.
On Weibo, she was like a lunatic, clinging onto Ye Zhen and refusing to let go.
Of course, this kind of ethical drama naturally attracted the attention of many fans. A month ago, there were many fans who scolded Mother Ye for not knowing what was good for her. They even posted a link to a high-rise building post on a forum to Mother Ye. Mother Ye tried her best to deny the facts written in the post. Instead, she insisted that someone was deliberately defaming the Family Ye.
Of course, there were also some "reasonable people" who believed that it took two hands to clap. If Mother Ye dared to say such things, Ye Zhen must have done something that angered the heavens but they didn't know about. They called out to Ye Zhen and asked Ye Zhen to come forward and clean up this matter. They were family after all. Even if their bones were broken, their tendons were still connected. There was no need to be so heartless.
But this heat dissipated with the passage of time.
A month later, Mother Ye continued to make accusations. Other than the troll army stationed under her Weibo, no one cared about her anymore.
No matter what she said, no one believed her anymore.
Four months later, Ye Zhenting was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Not long after, someone seemed to have seen news of the Family Ye's villa and Family Ye's real estate being auctioned off online. According to insiders, the Family Ye had no choice but to sell off all their assets in order to repay the huge amount of money that Ye Zhenting owed the loan sharks.
Ye Qing's contract was still with Chao Xun Entertainment. She couldn't afford the high compensation for breach of contract and had no chance of winning the lawsuit. Unknowingly, she disappeared from everyone's sight.
Except for Mother Ye who was still making accusations online.
But it didn't seem to be of any use because Ye Zhen didn't care at all.
The trailer for 'Qinhuai Riverside' was released. Although it was directed by an unknown director, Chao Xun Entertainment spared no effort in promoting the film online and offline.
While Chao Xun Entertainment was promoting the film, everyone also discovered that Ye Zhen's name was listed as the film's producer!
