Chapter 702: Chapter 510: Great Joy and Great Sorrow
Yang Ziqi’s classmate was nad Wang Xin.
When the four of them left the bar that evening, she ntioned finding a designated driver, while the other two classmates said it was no big deal.
At ten o’clock in the evening, there wouldn’t likely be any traffic police around.
All four were university students, and it hadn’t even been two years since they got their driving licenses.
After Wang Xin hit soone, she herself was in a panic, montarily at a loss.
Only after calling her father did she send Chen Sai to the hospital.
As for Wang Gang himself, being a top lawyer in Magic City, he was arguably more versed in the law than anyone else.
His daughter had been drinking before driving last night; it was of course imperative not to let the incident blow up.
Even this accomplished lawyer had to grovel and apologize, just to stabilize Chen Pingsheng and the others first.
In such matters, right and wrong were beside the point.
In his view, what he feared was not paying for the poor people’s dical bills, but that they would persistently co seeking money.
He had seen too many of such people.
His own daughter was ant to be a future star, and certainly couldn’t afford an incident at the ti of graduation.
When he arrived, he had already convinced her classmates.
Yang Ziqi and the others also unanimously agreed, certainly not to tell others about Wang Xin drinking and driving.
By today, things had turned out this way.
Yang Ziqi, having ridden in Chen Pingsheng’s car, naturally knew what he did for a living.
Like those drivers who drive the boss’s car to make so extra money on the side, he might have seen so so-called big shots.
But certainly, no big shot would co forward for him.
To put it bluntly, they were nothing more than the lowest rung of society.
As long as you have enough money, you will find that the law of this society can, to a certain extent, be bent in your favor.
Yang Ziqi really wanted to tell this boastful uncle that getting a hundred thousand was enough, and not to think about making a big deal out of it.
Afterwards, he even went to demand money from her classmate’s family.
She herself despised these kinds of people.
She even wanted to say that for people like you at the bottom of society, now even without the only piece of evidence, what do you have to fight them with?
Regardless, Yang Ziqi would no longer concern herself with it.
To her, this was just an unremarkable minor incident.
When she returned to school, she frolicked with her classmates as if nothing had happened.
Most of the students at the Magic City Art School were from wealthy families; current showbiz was no longer a place for ordinary people to enter.
Yang Ziqi’s dream, like Wang Xin’s from childhood, was to beco a big star.
Both of them also often participated in public events in society, one to establish their own networks of contacts, and the other naturally to et so showbiz moguls.
Speaking of resources in the entertainnt circle, those were also tiered.
Children of directors, children of famous actors, and various generations of wealth and privilege.
From the mont of their birth, it ant that they had a higher starting point than ordinary people.
This was also the main reason Yang Ziqi was not overly worried even in the highly competitive entertainnt industry.
Her family was wealthy, and though not excessively rich, they were much better off than the average Magic City family.
A female classmate looked on with envy,
“Ziqi, I really didn’t expect that you two would be involved in Zhao Liying’s project before graduation. She’s now the undisputed queen of dramas; whatever she shoots becos a hit.”
Zhao Liying had completely erged from The Legend of Hua Qiangu, and any TV series she was involved in
almost always turned out to be a smashing success.
Each of her projects was also among the top sought-after prizes in the circle.
To be part of her project was nothing short of a pie from heaven for pure newcors.
It was no wonder that the female classmate was so envious.
Yang Ziqi chuckled lightly. While she didn’t say it on the surface, she was quite proud inside.
This project was personally secured for her by a circle friend of her father.
It was her father’s graduation gift for her.
Yang Ziqi herself was also very much looking forward to it, mainly because Zhao Liying had really soared in popularity these last few years.
Whether it’s “The Legend of Hua Qiangu” or “Do You Know,” “Shanshan is Here,” and the like, are all undoubtedly the hit dramas of the year.
At night, when Yang Ziqi attended the class reunion, she received nothing but envious glances.
So even hoped to get to know Zhao Liying through her; what if the top actress took a liking to them and offered them a small role?
Deep down, Yang Ziqi felt quite satisfied, thoroughly enjoying the envy of her classmates.
As the gathering was about to end.
The phone in her pocket rang, and upon checking, it was a call from her father.
Yang Ziqi walked to the entrance to answer in a hushed tone, Mr. Yang’s voice sounded sowhat grave.
“Co ho right away.”
“Dad, I’m at a class reunion. Is there sothing important?”
“Just co ho.”
Mr. Yang didn’t elaborate over the phone. By the ti Yang Ziqi arrived ho on her motorcycle, he asked her seriously:
“Have you offended soone recently?”
“What are you talking about, Dad? Why would I offend anyone?”
Yang Ziqi asked in confusion, “Why do you suddenly ask this?”
“Your uncle called today. He asked if you have offended soone!”
Mr. Yang wasn’t too supportive of his daughter mingling in the entertainnt circle, but since it was her passion since childhood, he didn’t want to stop her.
“Did uncle say anything else?”
“The project with Zhao Liying that he was helping you to secure has fallen through. Furthermore, word is that the entire circle is going to blacklist you and Wang Xin.”
“What do you an?”
Yang Ziqi didn’t understand at all, “Isn’t that a secured project? Dad, didn’t you invest over ten million in it?”
“You’re asking , but who am I to ask?”
Mr. Yang was just as perplexed. However, he seriously said, “My daughter, you really need to think about it. Have you offended soone recently? It’s not about whether you can work on this project or not; it’s about being permanently shut out from the entertainnt circle.
“I asked your uncle, and he said the blacklist directive ca from Tengying Group’s headquarters. Every movie and television company in the circle, including directors and producers, has received it. No one dares to let you join a shooting crew anymore.
“Who on earth have you offended?”
Tengying Group?
Yang Ziqi was shocked, for she had always wanted to join Tengying Entertainnt.
Her uncle had already paved the way for her, so why was she receiving a blacklist directive from Tengying Group?
The entertainnt circle is neither large nor small.
But if Tengying Entertainnt was set on blacklisting a few newcors, no one would dare to defy them.
Moreover, she had never heard of it issuing a blacklist specifically targeting newcors.
Why did it fall on her?
Suddenly, she received a call from her best friend, Wang Xin.
Wang Xin was almost in tears, telling her that she, too, had been blacklisted.
It was not just known throughout the circle; their school was likely to find out soon.
Getting a blacklist notice from Tengying Entertainnt before graduation, wasn’t this like the sky falling?
“Dad, you must have a way to fix this, right?”
Mr. Yang shook his head helplessly, “I asked your uncle about it. He even approached a senior executive at Tengying Entertainnt to find out what happened. They only said one thing: the person you’ve angered is at too high a level, not soone they can reach. If they don’t relent, you have no chance of getting back into the entertainnt circle.
“Although I have so money, I’m insignificant in front of such people. Furthermore, I don’t even know who you’ve offended, so how can I help you solve this?”
Soone who could completely block the path into the circle with a single word wasn’t soone Yang Zishan could compare to.
Mr. Yang expressed his powerlessness.
If there’s sothing that spreads the fastest in the entertainnt circle, it’s undoubtedly the grapevine.
The news of Yang Ziqi, along with Wang Xin, being blacklisted, quickly spread through the Magic City Art School.
Everyone was stunned for a split second, then followed up with smirks of schadenfreude.
Who would have thought – the person who was yesterday’s glory in the class group chat is now in such a plight?
Such are the extre joys and sorrows of life!
