My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 629 - 548 Someone’s Playing Dirty

"But their film is almost finished while we’re still stuck in pre-production. Their drama has already been bought by a television station for a high price, and it’s even set for cross-platform promotion."

Qin Miaomiao finally lifted her head, looked at his face, and said calmly:

"Quality is the key. If we want to slap them in the face, it has to be a professional win; otherwise, it’s pointless. If we’re constantly driven by emotions, how can we make a proper film?"

Zhou Shu looked a bit embarrassed:

"President Qin, you’re always so composed, but we only have a few artists under our company right now. As for that previous film, it’s almost finished, yet there hasn’t been any promotion for it, and we invested a billion in that."

"It’s finished? I’ll go take a look at the rough cut."

Zhou Shu: .....

Invested a billion—couldn’t she be a little less reckless?

Qin Miaomiao meticulously watched the rough cut from start to finish, and her previously calm expression instantly turned into anger.

"Who edited this? How did it turn out like this?"

"President Qin, the editor had some family issues and went back home."

Qin Miaomiao’s face grew icy cold: "Family problems won’t cover this mess. Everything this editor touched is garbage! What about the director? Where is the director?"

"The director... can’t be reached."

In the end, they pulled this stunt?

After spending so much money to hire a first-rate director?

She had seen some of the raw footage before—it was solid work, with smooth storytelling. With proper editing, it could have been a decent film.

And now? The director has outright abandoned ship?

What’s going to happen to the money already invested? And the expenses allocated for the promotions?

It was at this moment that Qin Miaomiao realized she might be facing a major problem.

Facing a problem—what should one do?

First thing: ask her husband for help!

Lu Qing listened to the entire story and appeared strikingly calm:

"Where’s the raw footage? Do we still have the film reels?"

"No, they’ve all been taken away."

"Alright, got it. I’ll handle it."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qing immediately issued an order:

"Search every single inch of ground—find those people! If you can’t find them, bring their families to me!!!"

Who could bear the wrath of thunder like this? 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

If someone dared to pull off such a vicious move, they’d better be prepared for the consequences.

News spread quickly. Everyone heard that the director behind the billion-dollar film invested by Lu Qing and Qin Miaomiao had run off with the film reels.

This was clearly the director burning all bridges behind him. Speculation abounded—who could be orchestrating this against Qin Miaomiao?

How wealthy must the culprit be to offer the kind of payoff that would compel the director to make such a reckless move, destroying his own future?

This was a blatant move signaling no intention of ever working in this industry again.

"This is by far the most absurd thing I’ve heard this century."

"Absolutely, it’s insane. What a scam!"

"Poor President Qin—getting screwed over like this is brutal."

"If anything, ’lighting the fire under the cauldron’ couldn’t have been illustrated more perfectly. Simply masterful."

"Gotta admit, we truly are too inexperienced."

"To witness such a plot twist in our lifetime—wow, totally worth it."

"Now the question is, how are President Qin and Lu Shen going to clean up this mess?"

"A billion-dollar investment—ridiculous."

"But Lu Shen isn’t someone you’d want to mess with. Will we hear news of that director found dead in an alley somewhere?"

"What kind of joke is that—how did this turn into a murder case?"

Yet what no one expected was—just a few days later—the director who had fled with the film reels was indeed found dead in an alley. And Lu Qing immediately became the prime suspect!
