Chapter 49 Following the Camera 2
Chapter 49 Following the Camera 2
The underground parking garage felt chilly on a night after the rain.
Sitting in the car, Gan Li stared intently out the window. This car was a used one that her master had just replaced with a new one. Seeing that she didn't have a car, he sold it to her at a lower price.
The used car dealership is asking for 30,000.
Her master sold it to her for 35,000 yuan. She overheard her master talking to another reporter about it and he even called her stupid. But Gan Li didn't think she was stupid.
The main issue is that she's currently interning at someone else's company. Jobs are so hard to find these days, so she's willing to take a small loss to keep the job. Other things can be discussed later.
Compared to her mentor, Gan Li felt that Teacher Huang Min was quite sincere, so she listened to him and tried to stake out the neighborhood where Wang Zhi, a second-tier male actor she had learned about from her mentor, lived, to see if she could get any photos taken.
Anyway, she had nothing else to do.
Her mentor rarely takes her along when filming other celebrities, and seems particularly hostile towards her, the intern who follows her around to learn, as if she might dismiss her at any time.
I've been waiting for almost half an hour. Fortunately, it's not cold inside the car. It's not the time for vehicles to enter or leave the garage right now, so the surrounding environment is unusually quiet, which makes me feel uneasy.
She took out her phone to check the time and saw that it was just past eleven o'clock, so she patiently continued to squat down. Worried that she would get sleepy while squatting, she also prepared some cooling balm. Whenever she felt a little drowsy, she would immediately squeeze out two drops and apply them to her forehead. As soon as she felt a cool sensation, the drowsiness would immediately disappear.
It took another ten minutes or so.
A car drove up from the side, and Gan Li immediately pressed her face against the black tint film she had specially gone to the car shop to get that afternoon. She also picked up the camera that had been hanging around her neck. When the car stopped and the door was pushed open, she immediately saw Wang Zhi, dressed in a black suit, get out of the car, followed by another woman.
Gan Li instinctively turned on the camera.
After seeing the woman's face clearly, Gan Li was somewhat disappointed. This was not a woman from the entertainment industry, but rather Wang Zhi's wife, Zhang Li. The two got out of the car and walked one after the other.
Just when Gan Li thought she hadn't gained anything today, Wang Zhi, who wasn't good-looking and was only about 1.6 meters tall, suddenly stopped and turned to say something to his wife.
His wife, Zhang Li, reached out to grab his arm, but he shoved her away angrily. Wang Zhi then turned and walked away, seemingly not wanting to pay any attention to his wife. Zhang Li quickly followed and reached out her hand...
Gan Li saw a scene that invigorated her: Wang Zhi, whose arm had been grabbed by his wife again and who was about to reach the top of the stairs, seemed to have lost all control of his anger and slapped Zhang Li across the face.
Even through the car window, in the quiet garage, and nearing 11 p.m., the slap sounded exceptionally loud. Gan Li, who was filming the scene with a camera pressed against the car window not far away, heard it clearly.
"Get lost, I can't be bothered to say another word to you."
Wang Zhi's angry voice rang out: "Get away from me right now!"
Done.
The somewhat unattractive second-tier male actor walked straight into the elevator. Zhang Li, who had been slapped by him, wiped away her tears and followed him.
Watching the two disappear into the elevator, Gan Li's eyes were filled with excitement.
Based on the explosive footage she captured tonight, she's sure to get a promotion, and maybe even a bonus. Picking up her phone, Gan Li wanted to tell her mentor what she had filmed, but just as her finger was about to touch her mentor's number, she suddenly remembered what he had said when she returned Huang Min's clothes to him at five or six o'clock this morning.
"If you find anything sensational on camera, don't give it to your master. I don't know her, but I can tell she's no good. If you give it to her, it means you won't get any credit."
After these words from Teacher Huang Min came to mind.
Gan Li immediately became hesitant.
She bit her lip lightly.
After hesitating for a while, she drove away from Wang Zhi's neighborhood and went straight home. She took out the memory card from the camera and copied the footage she had recently captured to her computer.
After doing all this.
Gan Li ultimately chose to send a message to her boss.
After waiting a while, her media studio boss replied: "Send it to me to see." Gan Li logged into her chat account on her computer and sent the footage she had taken to her boss's phone.
Less than three minutes.
Her phone rang.
Gan Li hurriedly pressed the answer button, and her boss's excited voice came through: "Gan Li, well done! You don't need to work for Tang Hong anymore. You'll be officially hired tomorrow."
Early the next morning.
The headline about a second-tier male actor beating his wife appeared on the trending topics list. At first, it didn't generate much buzz, but as the footage spread, it quickly climbed to the top of the trending search list.
"Famous actor Wang Zhi commits domestic violence against his wife Zhang Li; details of the scene are unbearable to watch."
"The Good Man on Screen, the Abuser in Real Life"
"Wang Zhi's carefully constructed public image has crumbled; he shows no mercy to his wife in private."
"A shocking scene unfolds in the garage, revealing the true nature of Wang Zhi, the 'nice guy' of the entertainment industry, hidden beneath her public persona."
Headlines like these appeared one after another.
Huang Min was unaware of this matter until Su Qing told him after filming a scene that afternoon. Upon hearing this, Huang Min laughed and said, "That's not bad news. If it really is him, it will be more advantageous for me when things take a turn. I just don't know..."
At this point, Huang Min paused, then shook his head helplessly, saying, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. But no matter what, Wang Zhi is finished. I wonder who took the picture. I hope it was that woman!"
"I think we can try to make contact with Zhang Li."
Su Qing said earnestly.
"..."
Huang Min pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, ask Zhang Li if she knows Wang Zhi's bank card secret. If she does, have her find a chance to get the transaction records online."
"Purpose!?"
Su Qing was somewhat puzzled.
"If it really is this Wang Zhi, then in order to take advantage of this time difference, someone needs to pay a sum of money to shut up the owners of certain private paparazzi and, incidentally, retrieve the photos."
Huang Min replied.
"Understood"
Su Qing immediately understood what Huang Min meant.
Simply put, every transaction in and out of the bank has a detailed statement. Once you see a transaction record showing a large sum of money going out, you can ask Zhang Li if there are any large expenses at home. If not, then there is clearly something wrong with that large sum of money.
It's pretty much a way to clearly define a goal.
