Chapter 544
544 Chapter 544-debt
‘A chance of survival’ was about to be released, and they were also facing the French Film Festival. They could not afford to make any mistakes at this time. Once such an announcement was made, everyone knew what kind of problems would arise.
Especially the plot of ‘a chance of life’, which happened to be related to kidnapping.
Jiang SE’s character in the movie was a victim of a kidnapping. If Feng Nan took the opportunity to cause trouble now, it would bring Jiang se a lot of trouble.
Nie dan immediately understood what PEI Yi meant. He had also considered the consequences if the matter was exposed. Jiang se would go from being a ‘victim’ in the movie to the daughter of a kidnapper in real life. Feng Nan would then be in the spotlight and use her as a stepping stone to rise to power.
It was no wonder Jiang se and PEI Yi had called him separately tonight to get him to investigate Feng Nan.
“Brother Yi, don’t worry. Leave this to me.”
Nie dan also understood the severity of the matter. He naturally understood that PEI Yi still regarded him as a brother very highly since he was willing to tell him about this matter.
Other than that, what nie dan found unbelievable was PEI Yi’s attitude toward Jiang se.
Back then, PEI Yi had fallen in love quickly and had never had a change of heart even after so many years.
As the heir of the PEI family, PEI Yi was surrounded by many temptations. Xiang qiuji’s girlfriend had changed so many times in the past few years, but he was still obsessed with that one.
It would have been fine if that was all, but PEI Yi’s long-lasting love could be seen from how he had wooed Feng Nan.
Jiang se had a little of Feng Nan’s vibes about her, so it was not strange for him to like her. However, what surprised nie dan was that PEI Yi was serious in the end. When they were dating, the PEI family even agreed to their marriage.
After so many years, their feelings for each other had not worn off. Instead, they had grown even deeper. He knew about Jiang SE’s background, but not only did he not criticize her, he even helped her hide the truth. This was enough to broaden nie Dan’s horizons.
“Brother Yi.”
When he was about to hang up, he was a little moved.
“I won’t tell anyone about this matter. I know that you still treat me as a brother, so I’m telling you this. If there’s anything in the future, just give me a call!”
He was extremely touched and sighed emotionally about the friendship between the two brothers who had grown up together. After he was done speaking, PEI Yi replied indifferently, ”
“Yes, he’s sleeping.”
A beeping sound came from the phone, and nie dan felt a little unwell.
Nie dan personally made a trip to the court of pilgrimage to ask for the surveillance footage. Although a long time had passed, the court of pilgrimage was still in good condition with the surveillance footage. Nie dan successfully obtained the footage and got someone to Media Processing Service He arranged the footage of Feng Nan losing money in gambling and quickly settled the matter.
He then recalled what Jiang se had told him on the phone. He got someone to investigate the movie ‘revenge’.
At this moment, Feng Nan had no idea that while he was suspecting the relationship between Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang se, someone was also investigating his case.
She was actually very busy recently. After the female lead role in ” criminal suspect ” was snatched away by Tao cen, she very quickly set her sights on the role of Zhong Qi in ” criminal suspect “.
Although this role did not have as many scenes as Shen xunran and it was only a supporting role,’criminal suspects’ was well-liked by the audience after it was released. Furthermore, Tao cen had joined the cast. If she could star in this movie, it would be considered a collaboration with Tao cen.
By then, she would be able to increase her popularity with the help of her working relationship with Tao cen. It would not do her any harm.
She had contacted Huo Zhiming before and mentioned that she wanted to act as Shen xuanran in ” criminal suspect “. She even mentioned that she wanted to invest in ” criminal suspect “. At that time, Huo Zhiming was touched by her.
After the incident, Huo Zhiming must have felt a little embarrassed because of Tao cen’s interference. Therefore, she proposed to invest in ” suspect ” now and asked Huo Zhiming to give her a chance to audition for Zhong Qi. This would probably succeed.
suspect ” was different from the time when Huo Zhiming had the manuscript and was looking for investors everywhere. With Tao cen around, many investors were willing to fork out the funds.
Regardless of whether Huo Zhiming would be interested in Feng Nan’s money, he would definitely accept this favor from Feng Nan.
Feng Nan thought about it carefully. In ” the suspect “, there were many scenes between Zhong Qi and Shen xuanran. Tao cen’s participation in the film had raised the status of the film, but there should be some disadvantages to it.
Among the current domestic female stars, Tao cen was the best in China. Whether it was in terms of fame, status, or acting skills, no female star could compete with Tao cen.
It was very likely that her aura would suppress her opponent in the process of rehearsing.
Once the movie started, if the person acting opposite her didn’t have enough mental strength, it was very likely that she wouldn’t be able to perform at all in the face of a female star like Tao cen.
Feng Nan, on the other hand, was different. She had been reincarnated and felt that she was fully capable of playing the role of ‘Zhong Qi’. Even when she was facing Tao cen, it was very likely that she would not have stage fright at all because of her special experience.
Just as Feng Nan had expected, it didn’t take much effort for her to mention that she wanted to invest in ” suspect ” and fight for the audition for the supporting role. Soon, Huo Zhiming agreed to give her a chance.
After setting the audition time, Feng Nan hung up the phone happily. However, her good mood did not last long. She picked up her phone and scrolled through her contact list. Her nail-coated thumb stopped when it slid down to Zeng Shao’s name.
She frowned and looked a little serious. Zeng Shao had not contacted her for a few days. Since a week ago, she had asked him to track Jiang Zhiyuan’s whereabouts in Hong Kong. At first, she could still get through to Zeng Shao’s phone, but when she tried to call him again in the past few days, it showed that his phone was turned off.
After not hearing from him for a few days, Feng Nan could no longer sit still.
This person was reliable and well-informed. In her previous life, he was the one who had found out about Jiang se and her father. He had even gotten his hands on that photo.
But for some reason, Feng Nan was extremely dissatisfied with the Zeng Shao of this life.
He had taken 300000 Yuan from him to track down Jiang Zhiyuan’s whereabouts. However, a long time had passed, and he still did not have any useful information. He could not even figure out Jiang Zhiyuan’s actual condition, let alone the photo of Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang se.
Now, he didn’t even pick up his own phone. The so-called debt collection and usury company he opened was not reliable to begin with. Feng Nan called to ask and said that he had not seen the boss for a few days.
In this line of work, Zeng Shao often appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and sometimes disappearing for a few days wasn’t a big deal. Feng Nan didn’t suspect that this person was trying to cheat her of her money in the beginning. After all, she had her previous life’s views and thought that Zeng Shao wouldn’t dare to cheat her.
However, as time passed, Zeng Shao didn’t take the initiative to contact her, and Feng Nan gradually couldn’t sit still.
a chance to live “was about to be released. It was a movie that had starred Tao cen in her previous life. In this life, Jiang se was the female lead. If Jiang SE’s scandal was exposed at this time and she could produce concrete evidence, Feng Nan could guarantee that Jiang SE’s stardom would be destroyed. She might not be able to survive in this industry anymore.
The PEI family would not want a woman who had lost the nation’s favor to be PEI Yi’s wife. Jiang se would have nowhere to go and would be like a street rat!
Feng Nan held the phone for a long time before he finally took a deep breath and called Zeng Shao again. The voice message from Zeng Shao’s mailbox said that his phone had been turned off.
She hung up the phone and called another person, asking him to help her find out Zeng Shao’s whereabouts. Before she hung up, someone knocked on Feng Nan’s office door.
“Come in.”
She looked a little upset. After hanging up, Dai Jia pushed the office door open and came in. Before she could say anything, Feng Nan grabbed the pen holder on the table and threw it at Dai Jia.
“Don’t you know that I have something to do? Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me unless it’s important?”
Feng Nan did not have a good temper, and when she was angry, she did not like people hiding from her.
The brush pot was made of ceramic and was quite heavy. When it flew over, it hit Dai Jia’s shoulder heavily, causing her body to tilt. In the end, it rolled to the ground and broke into pieces with a crash.
She had been hit quite hard. If it were the other assistants, they would have cried out a long time ago. Dai Jia endured the pain and said with a calm expression, ”
“Miss Feng, someone is looking for you.”
“I don’t want to see him!” There had been no news about Zeng Shao, and there was still no leads on Jiang Zhiyuan’s case. Feng Nan knew that Jiang Zhiyuan was Jiang SE’s father and might be related to her kidnappers back then. However, she could not get any evidence. Even if she exposed this kind of boring news to the media, no media website would be willing to expose it, possibly due to Jiang SE’s reputation, status, Xia Chaoqun, and the pressure from the PEI family.
She was in a terrible mood, but Dai Jia was still going to get into trouble. Feng Nan suppressed his anger.
call Givenchy for me and make an appointment. I’m going to pick out some clothes.
She had already set a time to meet Huo Zhiming. During this meeting, Feng Nan had to leave a good impression on Huo Zhiming and get the role of Zhong Qi.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dai Jia remained standing at the door without moving. Feng Nan looked up impatiently.
“What are you doing? Get out!”
“Miss Feng, someone wants to see you. It’s a lawyer with the surname hai. He said that he’s here to ask you for a sum of money on behalf of his client, Mr. PEI.”
“When have I ever owed Mr. PEI money?”
Feng Nan thought it was ridiculous, so she sneered and asked in return. Then, a middle-aged man standing behind Dai Jia said with a smile, ” “Whether or not I owe you, miss Feng should think about it again.”
As he spoke, he was holding a folder in his hand.
I advise you to take a look at the information in my hands first, miss Feng. Otherwise, if this matter blows up, it might be a very bad influence on a public figure like you.
When the middle-aged man, who was called lawyer hai by Dai Jia, said this, Feng Nan felt that someone was trying to mess with him on purpose, so he did not take it to heart.
With the attitude of a monkey, she motioned for lawyer hai to come in and asked about her so-called debt.
Feng Nan knew very well whether she owed him any money.
All these years, she did not make a lot of money, but she did make quite a lot of small money. She was paid for many of the movies she endorsed and filmed over the years, some of Feng Nan’s original collections were sold for cash, and the dividends from Zhongnan industries over the years, as well as the money she got from Feng Zhongliang. In total, she was worth about 20 to 30 million. If it were not for the losses she made when she filmed ” revenge “, she would have earned even more.
These tens of millions might not seem like much to the rich, but it was enough for her at the moment. She didn’t need to borrow money from anyone.
She wanted to see who was the one behind this and who was playing a prank on her to disgust her.
“Miss Feng, let me introduce myself. My surname is hai, and I’m the person in charge of mang Tian law firm. This is my business card.”
After lawyer hai briefly introduced himself, Feng Nan’s expression changed.
This so-called lawyer hai was mang Tian’s lawyer. Mang Tian law firm was quite famous in the imperial capital and specialized in serving the rich and powerful.
She vaguely remembered that Zhao junhan’s family company was working with mang Tian law firm.
If someone wanted to play a prank on him, they would have found a lawyer to scare him. They wouldn’t have found mang Tian’s people to put on an act.
She furrowed her brows. Lawyer hai looked at her and smiled.
my client’s surname is PEI. Six years ago, you owed him a gambling debt of more than 50 million Yuan at a party. Do you still remember? ”
When he mentioned this, Feng Nan quickly came to a realization and finally remembered what kind of money he owed.
Initially, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. In the beginning, Feng Nan was still a little flustered about losing money. After she returned to the Feng family, she even tried to resolve the matter through Feng Zhongliang. However, the more she knew about PEI Yi, the less she took to heart the fact that she had lost money while playing cards with PEI Yi and the rest.
The PEI family’s money was enough for him to squander for a few lifetimes. At that time, they were playing around and he had lost money at the card table. This money was just a drop in the ocean to PEI Yi and he did not care about it at all.
Sure enough, a few years had passed, and no one had mentioned the matter of losing money.
Not only did PEI Yi not interact with her after that incident, Feng Zhongliang had also stopped mentioning it. This incident was like a joke on the Mahjong table. A few years had passed and Feng Nan had completely forgotten about it. However, she did not expect PEI Yi to find a lawyer to come to her door and urge her to pay her debts.
She couldn’t help but laugh.
“Repay a debt? We were just playing around, what debt?”
When lawyer hai heard her words, he only smiled and placed the kraft paper bag in his hands on Feng Nan’s desk.
I’m sorry, miss Feng. Young master PEI is not joking. You really owe more than 50 million in gambling debts. So many years have passed since the incident, and the amount, along with interest, is already in the folder. He pointed to the folder. you can take a look. There’s a video of you playing cards and what you said. There are witnesses and physical evidence. Young master PEI hopes that you can return the money within 30 days. Otherwise …”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but Feng Nan’s expression had already turned ugly.
She tore open the paper bag, and the organized documents inside spilled all over the desk.
Inside the bag were photos of her playing cards with PEI Yi back then, as well as a copy of the CD and the amount of debt that lawyer hai had mentioned. Feng Nan crumpled it into a ball and threw it away after taking a glance.
At this point, PEI Yi did not seem like he was joking with her. She already had the evidence and a lawyer. However, where was she going to get tens of millions of Yuan all of a sudden?
Feng Nan was dumbfounded!
