The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot-Chapter 716 - 588 Offending the Lorentz Family, who is Miss Ying? [2 updates]
Chapter 716: 588 Offending the Lorentz Family, who is Miss Ying? [2 updates]
Now that the reporters had all left, and the scandal had broken out, David, as the head of the jury, had lost face completely.
He didn’t bother to maintain any decorum anymore.
However, David found that when he spoke out, the people from Chuguang Media didn’t have much of a reaction.
Only the agent furrowed his brows.
Ying Zijin nodded slightly, "Are you saying, the Lorentz Family?"
"Mr. David, you really know how to sling mud," the female secretary sneered. "The one who engaged in unfair trades is you, and you are the one who has disgraced the Lorentz Family. Who exactly will they not let off the hook?"
Hearing this, David also laughed, "Don’t you people from Hua Country have a saying about ’kinship and rank’?"
"This is O Continent, who is close to whom, who is noble and who is lowly, isn’t it clear?"
Everyone is guilty of double standards, favoring their own.
Could the Lorentz Family possibly show favoritism towards Hua Country?
These Easterners don’t even understand this simple logic.
No wonder they are foolish.
David, with a cold expression, grabbed his phone, "I’m calling the Lorentz Family right now, you just wait!"
Ying Zijin remained indifferent, "Go ahead."
David’s anger was stuck in his chest, making his heart ache.
He didn’t want to stay for a second longer and stormed out, phone to his ear, "Hello, hello..."
The agent patted Shang Yaozhi’s shoulder tremblingly, "Yaozhi, could it be, could it possibly be that Miss Ying and the Lorentz Family really have some sort of..."
Shang Yaozhi thought about it, "Do you remember the truckload of jade stones I bought from Zhong Corporation?"
The agent nodded.
Ying Zijin had saved Shang Yaozhi’s life, and a truckload of jade stones was nothing in comparison.
Shang Yaozhi smiled, "I had a chat with Miss Ying’s grandfather at that time. Old Master Zhong proudly told me that Miss Ying had infiltrated the inner circles of the Lorentz Family."
Although it was a boast from Master Zhong at that time, it now seemed that it had inadvertently hit the mark.
The agent breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether they received the award or not didn’t really matter, what was important was not to cause any trouble for Ying Zijin.
Even among the nobility of O Continent, not many could come into contact with the Lorentz Family.
The Lorentz Family represented the pinnacle of power in O Continent.
And observing everyone’s reactions, Claire recalled the car she saw at the film festival’s indoor scene that day.
At that time, Diana had asked him if he was sure, but he hadn’t taken it seriously.
But now that he thought about it, it really did seem like the emblem of the Lorentz Family!
No, but if Ying Zijin really knew someone from the Lorentz Family, wouldn’t they have been able to find out?
In O Continent, the sons and daughters of the Lorentz Family who had absolute authority and status numbered no more than five, and none were related to Hua Country.
Moreover, if Ying Zijin had such connections, would she be just a boss in the entertainment industry in Hua Country?
Such a troublesome matter wasn’t pleasing, and it was much easier to work as a high-level executive at Universal Film Company.
Claire was unwilling to believe and could not understand, no matter what.
But regardless of whether Ying Zijin really had any relationship with the Lorentz Family, Era Media had taken a severe hit this time.
When a company loses its credibility, especially on an international stage, it truly marks the beginning of its downfall.
With a heavy heart, Claire had just stepped out of the banquet hall when her phone started ringing frantically.
"Boss, there’s trouble, our stock price has plummeted, it’s dropped three points already,"
Before Claire could respond, the secretary’s voice on the other end was even more anxious, "Also, several A-list actors are worried about their reputations being damaged and want to terminate their contracts with us!"
Internationally recognized A-list actors were extremely rare.
Claire’s vision darkened.
It was over, now it was all over.
**
Indeed, it didn’t take long.
That same evening.
The news of the IFF Gold Statue Award rigging scandal had made headlines in various countries.
Netizens back home were furious.
[Think Hua Country is easy to bully, huh? The face of this head juror, really want to tear it apart, what does he mean by ’you people from Hua Country should already be satisfied with one Best Screenplay award’? What, should we be grateful to him?]
[Has no one noticed who put the surveillance video and audio recording in there?]
[A bag of spicy sticks, I bet on God Ying.]
[Fair is fair, although it’s satisfying, but overseas, outside of our home ground, Chuguang Media has no influence, and not many will cooperate with them in the future. Everyone has to be wary in case their own conversations are leaked.]
This was indeed true.
Because it had happened before.
An international actress found out her husband was cheating, and in a fit of rage, exposed recordings of her conversations with him and the other woman.
Her husband’s reputation was ruined, but he was born into an O Continent noble family and used their power to directly blacklist the actress.
No one dared to say anything.
If Chuguang Media were to be suppressed by both the Lorentz and Pazzi Families, not even the Venus Group could protect them.
With the domestic front worried, Ying Zijin, having finally gotten a real-life body pillow, indeed slept well that night.
The next morning, Fu Yunshen went to the Venus headquarters.
At noon, Chuguang Media had a meal together at Jade Ice Cui.
"I’ll stay here a few more days, you guys go back first," Ying Zijin leaned back in her chair, "There’s a private jet to ensure your safety."
Having crossed swords many times, she was all too familiar with the Pazzi Family’s style.
Ruthless.
The female secretary nodded and suddenly spoke up, "Boss, the Lorentz Family has made a move."
Ying Zijin looked up, "Hmm?"
She hadn’t mentioned this matter to Xize at all.
Because there was no need to.
The female secretary was about to speak when the door to the private room was slammed open.
In came David and a squadron of mercenaries.
David sneered, "It’s them, take them to the Lorentz Castle!"
The people at the dining table couldn’t help but turn pale.
David, taking pleasure in their expressions, said, "I told you, the Lorentz Family won’t let you off."
"It’s not..." the female secretary looked at him strangely, "Haven’t you seen the news yet?"
David was stunned, "What news?"
The female secretary snorted, "Look for yourself!"
Just now, new information appeared on the internet.
It was also synchronized on Weibo, quickly rising to the top of trending topics.
#LorentzFamilyIFF#
Below is the translated Weibo post.
[The Lorentz Family announces the reorganization of the IFF Film Festival and the Golden Statue Awards, dismissing this year’s head juries and strictly forbidding such incidents from happening again.
As the most authoritative film award in the world, IFF welcomes supervision and reporting from all parties.
In response to this deplorable incident, the Lorentz Family announces an investment of one billion US dollars in Chuguang Media and apologizes to Chuguang Media.]
[Lorentz Family is powerful!]
[The stature of the First Family is indeed unmatched.]
[God Ying, you’ve got money now, aren’t you happy!]
Ying Zijin finished reading, "..."
Never hesitating to splurge money, that habit.
But half of the gold in Xize’s treasury belonged to her.
In the end, it was still her money.
Now she finally understood the feeling of being a wealthy woman.
David felt as if he had been struck by lightning, stepping back a few paces, "This is impossible!"
Getting dismissed was one thing, but why would they invest in Chuguang Media?
Had the Lorentz Family gone mad?
To mobilize such a large sum of money, the Elders Council had to approve it unanimously.
Even the head of the family didn’t have the authority to do so!
What was going on?
David was sweating profusely, thoroughly panicked this time.
He just wanted to leave quickly, but with a "bang," the door was kicked open, and a team of people entered.
It was the Lorentz Family’s Guard Squad.
In comparison to the mercenaries David had paid for, they were on a completely different level.
The Guard Captain glanced at David indifferently and pointed, "It’s him, take him away!"
**
David was taken directly to Lorentz Castle by the Guard Squad and was brought into an interrogation room.
Such a big commotion naturally alarmed the other members of the Lorentz Family and the Elders Council.
When they learned that this was all for a Golden Statue Award, they were all somewhat befuddled.
Even the Third Elder was unclear as to why this matter had alarmed the highest Ruler.
But as subordinates, they were not in a position to inquire about such things.
However, thinking about it, if the Ruler was about to make an appearance, it was natural to demonstrate authority.
The IFF was indeed an investment by the Ruler from the start, and how could they tolerate scandal?
The Third Elder stroked his beard, thinking to himself, he was curious to know what the Ruler looked like.
That was until Job came over.
The Third Elder’s eyes lit up, and he immediately called out to him, "Steward Job, has the master said when he will officially meet with us?"
Everyone knew that Job was the spokesperson for the Ruler when outside.
The selection for the personal servants of the Ruler was very strict, and the elders all wanted to send their children to the core of the castle.
"It should be soon," Job smiled, lowering his voice, "By the way, Third Elder, if you want to do something for the master, please collect more information about noble ladies, including photos."
"The master may have suffered a serious blow and wants to get married, but really, it’s impossible to persuade him."
Third Elder: "???"
In the room.
David felt his scalp tighten, a chill running through his body.
The door finally opened, letting light stream in.
David looked up, his eyes filled with a glimmer of hope.
Job smiled sympathetically, "Do you know who Miss Ying is?"
