Today, Jiujiu finished all the work that Secretary Li gave her and was playing jigsaw puzzles out of boredom.
Secretary Li's work efficiency was actually quite high. However, compared to Jiujiu, who had a high-tech cheating device like Steamed Bun, Secretary Li was quite slow. Therefore, for the past few days, Jiujiu had been playing jigsaw puzzles in the office after finishing the work Secretary Li gave her in the morning.
These days, Jiujiu's jigsaw puzzles were everywhere in the office. Every time Secretary Li saw those puzzles, she looked hopeless.
Therefore, early in the morning, Jiujiu asked people to take away all the puzzles and put them on the wall of her house as decorations.
After all, she was a good boss who cared about her subordinates.
A few days ago, Jiujiu found a three-thousand-yuan puzzle on the Internet. While she was working on it, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Secretary Li walked in with a flustered face. Seeing Jiujiu's expression, she looked like she was about to cry. "Miss Xu, bad news."
Jiujiu put down the jigsaw puzzle in her hand and looked at Secretary Li with concern. "What's wrong?"
Secretary Li's expression was very bad. Looking at Jiujiu's calm face, she almost cried and said, "Something happened to Xiyue."
Hearing Secretary Li mention Xiyue, Jiujiu stood up from the sofa and asked with a serious face, "What happened to Xiyue?"
"Just now, the director called and said that Xiyue had an accident when he was hanging on the wire. He fell down and is still in the intensive care unit. He said that he broke two bones and some internal bleeding."
At this point, Secretary Li sounded like he was about to cry.
She was Xiyue's die-hard fan when she first saw him. Now that her idol had become like this, how could she be normal?
Two broken bones and internal bleeding were not trivial matters. Moreover, he was in a mountainous area where the medical conditions were terrible. Even if he could survive, it was not a joke if there were any sequelae.
Xiyue was only in his twenties at most. He was not even as old as Xu Qing. Jiujiu would not be able to live with her conscience if there were any sequelae.
Jiujiu drove Secretary Li directly to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, the director was also waiting there. When he saw Jiujiu, he couldn't help but look ashamed. "This time, it was the crew's mistake. I …"
"Of course I know that this is a dereliction of duty on the part of your crew." Jiujiu stood on her tiptoes and looked through the glass. She could only see Xi Yue lying on the bed. His left leg and left hand were wrapped in a thick cast. The skin on his face was broken, and the exposed skin was bruised and swollen. Just by looking at his appearance, one could tell that he was seriously injured. At the thought of his internal bleeding, Jiujiu instantly lost her good temper.
She had handed Xiyue over to the director, but in just a month, Xiyue became like this. Even if the director said that it was the props team's fault, Jiujiu couldn't take it lying down.
Jiujiu's tone was very harsh. Since Xiyue was in the crew, the director knew that he was in the wrong and could only accept it. However, no matter what, he was Jiujiu's elder. When Jiujiu scolded him in front of everyone, his expression was a little ugly. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "I'm willing to compensate …"
"Our company lacks everything except money. I sent him here, but he fell and became like this. If the pressure drops even more and he dies, are you going to use money to make up for it?"
Jiujiu's words were simple and straightforward, and she was especially blunt.
The director's face was a little dark. However, Jiujiu was the biggest investor of the film, and Xiyue was indeed sent by Jiujiu. Now that Xiyue was dead, the crew couldn't get away with it. The director could only say, "I've already sent someone to investigate …"
"Investigate …" Jiujiu snorted. "Whose people are you sending to investigate?"
The director said, "I …"
Jiujiu turned to look at Secretary Li and said, "Tell Director Li for me and ask him to send a few people over. I suspect that someone is plotting murder."
Jiujiu wasn't a girl who didn't know anything. When she was the Best Actress, the director was nowhere to be found. Besides, things in the crew were very shady. Xiyue was good at acting and had a good temperament. Now that he was the supporting actor, he might be in someone's way.
The props in the crew were all checked in advance, and the wires were checked again and again. If there was no electricity, it would be strange if something went wrong.
The director wanted to make a fuss, but he had to see if she agreed. She was going to tell everyone in the crew today that they couldn't afford to offend Xiyue.
Jiujiu called Director Li, which meant that she wanted to call the police.
'Drunken Spring' was the director's work for an international award. If something happened, his reputation would be ruined.
The director had been filming for so many years and had worked hard to build a good reputation. If something happened to the actors during filming, his reputation would be ruined.
The director anxiously tugged at Jiujiu's sleeve and whispered, "I'm afraid that's not good."
Jiujiu curled her lips and revealed a formal smile. She looked at the director and said, "Uncle, don't worry. I'm not someone who doesn't know what to do. I'm very close to Director Li. At most, I'll investigate and get a certificate. I won't publicize it. After all, I'm counting on you to make a lot of money from the sales of 'Drunken Spring'. Don't you think so, Uncle?"
The director thought about it carefully. Jiujiu was a businesswoman, and she was also the biggest investor of 'Drunken Spring'.
As long as it was a businessman, there was no one who didn't want to make money. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. The director was relieved.
Secretary Li called back soon and whispered a few words in Jiujiu's ear. Jiujiu left Secretary Li to look after Xiyue and went to the set.
The production cycle of a movie wasn't long, and a movie was at most two hours long. Xiyue was a supporting actor, so he didn't have a lot of scenes.
After more than a month of filming, they were almost done. But now, such a thing happened. No matter who it was, they were very upset, especially the actors who had scenes with Xiyue.
When Jiujiu arrived at the set, the location of the incident had already been sealed. The faulty machine was also being looked at. Seeing that the director had returned, the prop master immediately came over and said, "Director, we've found out the reason."
The prop master led the director and Jiujiu to the wire hanging machine. He pointed at the broken wire and said, "Someone cut a small hole in this wire. It's fine when it's hanging, but it will break when there's an intense movement."
"Then why didn't you find it during the inspection?" Jiujiu asked sternly.
"Uh …" The prop master was instantly speechless. After a while, he stammered, "I had diarrhea today, so I asked Li Kuan to check it for me. By the way, where is Li Kuan?"
