The Struggles of Being A Mother of Villains - Chapter 151

Rong Zhefang, “Then…go stand in the corner?”

Xiao Yu smiled. “Sure!” And so she headed for the corner.

Rong Zhefang went back to Cai Jun’s side. “What happened?”

“I got some secret news. The president of Ji Group sent someone to watch us. They’re probably wondering whether we’re embezzling money. See that girl? She can’t have come in such a coincidence, right? You think she’s the one the Ji Group sent to check us out?” Cai Jun peeked at Xiao Yu, only to see her with a meaningful smile on her face.

Cai Jun said, “I think she’s the one! You see that smile? She’s not so simple!”

Rong Zhefang turned his head over and looked at her for a while before turning back. “I don’t see anything off about her! But you’re right. We should still be careful, just in case.”

After that, the two of them continued the shoot as normal while Xiao Yu called Ji Xuan.

The call went through quickly. While looking around, Xiao Yu said, “You promised me! I’m working for you, so you have to pay me after this! I helped you look around. The director’s not bad, doesn’t seem like the corrupt kind. But of course, that’s just my own guess. The props are quite good and it does cost quite a lot. I think most of the cost is going to the actors. You know? If you know, then why are you asking so much?”

The reason why Ji Xuan asked Xiao Yu to come in first was mainly because he wanted to know the situation in the crew. In addition to the actor salaries, he wanted to know where the rest of the funds were being used, which could easily be seen by looking at the set. For example, if they were trying to take advantage of the funds, they could definitely use green screens from start to finish. For example, if you like realistic scenes, then they would even build a whole ship for it. The cost of these two directions was going to be completely different.

After shooting two scenes, the director told everyone to rest. So, Xiao Yu went to check the resting areas. She wanted to see whether any of the stars had requirements in their lounge that cost more. Just now in the car, Ji Xuan told Xiao Yu that the Ji Group invested up to 80 million yuan on them.

Not to mention the fact that there were 6 other investors, and this was still just an idol drama. Renting a music academy and the other expenses were necessary, but definitely not so much that they could easily spend 100 million just like that. Quite clearly, tens of millions have been moved away in between all this.

As for where that money was being moved away, that was hard to say. In any case, the crew was asking for an additional 10 million investment. If someone was embezzling money, then they wouldn’t have enough to spend no matter what.

Moreover, the Ji Group invested this money to make money, not to fill someone else’s pockets.

If the money was not moved away, then the crew must be spending it unreasonably somewhere. As the largest investor, the entire crew definitely knew who he was. That was the reason why he asked Xiao Yu to look. Who knew that this woman would actually…refuse.

In the end, she gave him an hourly rate if he wanted her to check things out for him. 200 an hour, and extra will be billed if any accidents occur. Only then was she willing to go in and look at the situation. Ji Xuan just wanted to press her down and smother her when he heard that.

200 yuan? Really? Really?? You could’ve done it as a favor, even for your ex-husband!
