I, the female supporting role, play three male supporting roles at the same time

Chapter 250: Compromise and You’ll Know

"Tell me first, what scandals do your three old employees have?"

Mr. Mi hesitated for a moment, but then he thought, since these old friends were going to be exposed tomorrow anyway, it would not matter if he revealed it to Duan Hongji ten hours in advance.

Mr. Mi simply threw in the towel: "They are all in the entertainment industry, so of course I can't say that they have good character, but the three of them have been careful in their words and deeds over the years, and the negative information is all old news from more than ten years ago. One of them has set up a persona as the top leader of the lesbian circle - you may not understand, it's lesbian..."

"I know," Duan Hongji raised his hand to stop Mr. Mi's popularization, "What happened to her?"

Mr. Mi sighed, "She once dated a scumbag in the industry, but that man already had a wife and children when they were dating. She was stubborn and wanted to tear that man apart. It was a very ugly scene. I had to pay to suppress her."

"You know," Mr. Mi took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke it to relieve his worries, but then he remembered that Duan Hongji didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so he put it back cowardly. "The entertainment industry has always been harsher on female stars than male stars. Although she didn't know that the other party was married when she was dating, who would believe it if she told others? If I hadn't seen her beat up the man with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."

Duan Hongji nodded. For a female star with this kind of personality, such a scandal would really damage her image. But if it is handled properly, it shouldn't completely ruin her reputation, right?

Sure enough, Mr. Mi continued, "If that was all, it would be fine. But she was in love, and she took a lot of indecent photos and videos when she was with that man. Alas! They were clearly destroyed back then! I don't know how they were dug up again!"

Duan Hongji narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Second, I won't defend him. When he went to Baogang to make a living, the entertainment industry there was very different from what it is now. It was still controlled by the underworld, as you know. He was half afraid and half wanted to be famous. He knelt down and toasted to several big guys..."

Mr. Mi scratched his head. “He created a tough guy persona for his fans. Although he has a large following among passers-by, if this gets out, he’ll be finished. On the big screen, he’s shooting people with a machine gun, but when he looks down at his phone, he’s kowtowed to people—isn’t this hilarious?!”

Zhao Ruoming secretly stuck out his tongue. The entertainment industry is indeed one of the darkest places.

"The third one was a pure misfortune!" Mr. Mi said angrily, "She is an old friend who has worked hard with me. The dirt on her was that her father died and no one came to collect the body. The body rotted in the house and caused serious impact on the landlord. But her father had cheated on her and abandoned her and her mother a long time ago! Her mother raised her by operating a sewing machine, and she later worked as a wild model to supplement the family income. I dug her out. What does it have to do with her that no one came to collect her father's body? She doesn't even know her father's name!"

Duan Hongji tilted his head, seeming a little confused: "Can this also be considered black material?"

"Of course not." Mr. Mi sighed, "This happened two years ago. Her father died in someone else's house, so the landlord couldn't rent out the house. She was afraid that it would affect her career, so she bought the landlord's house and gave him a large sum of money to keep quiet. I paid according to the market price at that time, and I handled the formalities myself. But I don't know what's wrong with the landlord. Now he has changed his words and insisted that she took advantage of her power to force the sale, and even showed her injuries and said that she hired someone to beat her..."

The entertainment industry has low investment and high returns, and all kinds of public opinion are sensitive. If rumors of bullying are revealed, the person will be badly injured if not killed.

"We do have sufficient evidence for this matter, but even if we clarify it and release it, people may not believe it." Mr. Mi frowned, "It's easy to put the blame on someone, but it's hard to take it off."

Duan Hongji comforted him, "It's good to have evidence. Evidence is for fans to see, not for passers-by to see."

Mr. Mi added, "What's even more troublesome is that because she has always been filial to her mother, she was chosen by the government to film a very classic public service advertisement about filial piety. You must have seen that advertisement, it is the childhood memory of a generation of Chinese people!"

Zhao Ruoming: “.”

This is a hell of a joke!

Duan Hongji smiled and said, "From the tone of your voice, your three old friends seem to be quite innocent, right?"

Mr. Mi was most afraid of Duan Hongji's expression, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I dare not say that. I can only say that the crime is not punishable by death... Old Duan, I don't expect you to help me with anything, but I have to make things clear. I have always been a coward, and I only dare to jump high behind people's backs. If it is someone with a big problem in character, I dare not use him."

Zhao Ruoming thought so too. These three artists could become pillars of the show, and they could also refuse the olive branch from the Di Group and stick with Mr. Mi when he was in trouble. It would be a lie to say that they were saints with flawless character, but being able to do this was already pretty good in the entertainment industry.

Zhao Ruoming planned to help Mr. Mi overcome the difficulties and put an end to the budding of Di Wanshu's entertainment company. But if Mr. Mi's pillars were scum who killed, robbed, evaded taxes, took drugs and committed fraud, then Zhao Ruoming would rather let Di Wanshu get away with it.

After Mr. Mi finished complaining, he looked at Duan Hongji with three parts of hope and seven parts of suspicion: "Old Duan, it has come to this, what else do you have to do? If you can help me get through this difficult time, Rongyao Entertainment will be named after you in the future!"

Duan Hongji hooked the teacup in front of Mr. Mi with one finger and moved it in front of himself, then poured half a cup of tea into it.

Mr. Mi looked at Duan Hongji's actions hesitantly, not knowing what the other party was up to.

In addition to tea, there was also coffee and red wine on the table. Duan Hongji picked up the coffee cup and added half a cup of coffee to the tea.

Mr. Mi's face ferocious for a moment, thinking that Duan Hongji's way of entertaining people was still so unique.

Duan Hongji opened another bottle of red wine and poured the purple wine into the mixture of tea, water and coffee. The suspicious liquid in the cup overflowed like a fountain and rolled onto the table.

Mr. Mi frowned and said, "You mean to muddy the waters?"

Duan Hongji leaned back lazily: "We always like to compromise."
