Chapter 157 - Fighting incident 1

Laila frowned and thought for a while: "That little guy that looks like a bamboo stick?"

"Yes, that guy. I have seen him say some nasty things about you when chatting with people several times recently, and it feels like he is spreading rumors against you on purpose."

"I don't remember what I did to him." It's normal for dozens or hundreds of people in a crew. Laila can't remember everyone clearly. It's incredible to remember how they looked. Moreover, in her capacity, a small lighting engineer in the lighting team is not qualified to talk to her, so how can she interact with him?

Jia Xiaoming shrugged: "Do you need me to check it for you?"

Laila thought for a while: "Let's check it out and see what the hell he is doing." The free door-to-door help, don't do it in vain. It is more comfortable to dig out a person hiding in the dark when they are her enemies. Even if there is no threat, who knows if she will fall into a caterpillar at any critical moment?

Let's talk about the props this time. Just a few vases have delayed the shooting plan for several days. It can be seen how difficult it is for a crew to keep working smoothly. Laila can allow the crew to isolate her but never allow anyone to seek opportunities to bite her secretly.

Jia Xiaoming gave her a "sorrowful" look: "I don't know how they ganged up so that when my partner and I came in, we were isolated. Fortunately, we pretended to be unfamiliar with you and got into a team with them smoothly."

People in the crew have said that the two prop managers who were fired were driven away by Laila, so Jia Xiaoming, who was replaced, enjoyed the same ice treatment as they entered the group. Except for work matters, no one wants to say a word to them, let alone meeting for a few drinks or going out to have fun.

Fortunately, these two people are very good at dealing with emergencies. After a few words, the people on the crew quickly eliminated their feelings, and they had a smoother relationship with some closer people. Although it is not enough to say nothing, it is much better than Laila, who is still isolated. It was also because of joining those people's conversations that Jia Xiaoming discovered the undercurrent against Laila in the dark.

Jia Xiaoming was worthy of being a professional and got the exact news the next day.

"It turned out that that person took money from a person called Barnett, And was specifically looking for opportunities to hack you." Poor child, how much resentment is this that makes people treat her like this.

Barnett? Laila squinted for a while, but she didn't remember who it was, but she was only surprised by Claire's reminder.

"Barnett Cooper!"

She kept calling Cooper, but she had forgotten that he also had Barnett's name.

"It's him. He was hurt by you last time." Jia Xiaoming will naturally know the spread of the gambling appointment. "How? Do you want me to ask him to shut his mouth?"

Laila waved her hand indifferently: "Forget it, just gossip. It doesn't hurt or itchy." Cooper wouldn't be foolish to think that mere rumors could cause her much harm. The reason for using this trick is probably to disgust her.

"How's your business? Remember our agreement, don't let me see negative news on the headlines of the newspaper."

"Don't worry, the preparatory work has been completed, just waiting for him to drill into the pit we dug." Jia Xiaoming chuckled twice without going into detail.

Laila also didn't want to understand too clearly, only hoped they finished it quickly and then got out quickly.

"All the photography work will be completed in two weeks at most. Your time is running out. I don't think that if you change the crew, there will be a reasonable director like me to open the back door for you."

"Of course, we are very grateful for your support. It's okay to give you a medal after the matter is over." Jia Xiaoming responded with a smile on his face but complained in his heart. If you change to a director with no identity background, they won't bother to communicate, either sneak in or directly pressure and force cooperation. 

Laila glanced at him, slandering this kind of man who ran the train with his mouth in his stomach, making people untrustworthy. Fortunately, after this incident, they should have no chance of seeing each other again.

After Jia Xiaoming left, Claire sat next to her with an expression of disapproval on her face: "Laila, you shouldn't agree to him."

"You tell Grandpa, how did he answer?"

"He said you can do it if you want." Claire frowned, thinking that the old man was too irresponsible. Is this something a child can handle? When dealing with that kind of place, you will get involved in trouble if you are not careful.

Laila smiled comfortingly at her: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Then she turned the subject off: "By the way, what's the matter over there?"

Claire glared at her badly before replying: "It's nothing big. Louise is in contact with the film group you asked to contact. It is said that several of them have intentions and will probably visit the company soon. "

"It's Splake Parker." Laila corrected her amusedly: "They have a lot of potentials, and I am very optimistic about them."

"I don't know anything about movies. If you say it is good, then it's okay." Claire doesn't understand this, and it's not easy to comment on it casually, although she doubts that a small group of a few young people together can create a random group. What potential is there?

After a few more small talks, Laila was about to rest. When she just walked out of the bathroom, she heard a rapid ringing.

"This is Laila Moran."

"Miss Moran, I'm sorry to disturb you, but something happened here. Miss Louise thinks I should tell with you first." Demi's panting voice came over the phone as if she had just finished exercising.

Laila felt uneasy: "What's the matter?"

"It's Roy. He fought with someone in a bar just now, and he has now been sent to the police station."

The corners of Laila's eyes twitched. She was terrified of what was coming. Last time she told him clearly, but when she turned her head, something happened! This uneasy kid!

"What's the matter? You tell me the details." While talking on the phone, Laila called Claire and asked her to find the lawyer.

"I'm not very clear about the specifics. Roy said a few words hurriedly as if he had beaten someone when he saw a woman being harassed in a bar."

Laila couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If it were just like this, it would be okay.

"Where is Louise?"

"She has rushed to the police station now. It seems that it was a celebrity who was fighting Roy. Now many reporters are surrounded by the police station."

"That bastard!" Laila almost smashed the phone out of her anger. And a star! Why doesn't he fight with the president! It's like this, even if she wants to cover the lid, she can't cover it, okay?
