Chapter 296 – You Jing, do you know why I broke up with you? (1)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Ye Zhen deliberately ran into Madam Zhou at a function in order to create an opportunity to talk about getting the movie approved.
When they sat down, they tossed aside that they were at a function and happily chatted. Madam Zhou liked Ye Zhen’s frankness and enthusiasm, and Ye Zhen liked Madam Zhou’s elegance, generosity, and gentleness. When Madam Zhou asked Ye Zhen what she had been up to recently, Ye Zhen didn’t directly say she had been busy with getting the movie approved. Instead, she brought up gossip.
Madam Zhou pointedly looked at her. Ye Zhen felt embarrassed.
“You’re usually a clever person. Why are you embarrassed to speak your mind in front of me?”
Ye Zhen said with a smile, “I was thinking that I don’t need to bother you about the movie.”
Madam Zhou smiled back. “You don’t have to worry about the movie’s review. I’ll talk to my husband about it. The movie will pass review as soon as possible.”
“No,” Ye Zhen rejected her, “Madam Zhou, thank you for your good intentions. There’s no need to have Mayor Zhou use his official authority for private interests. My intention is to have the review department review the movie in accordance with regulations. If any of the parts or storyline don’t meet the requirements, I hope they can give a response about it as soon as possible.”
Madam Zhou immediately understood what she meant.
It was common for the reviewers to be slow with reviewing. The review process for a movie could be delayed anywhere from a few months to a few years. The review department could afford the delay, but Ye Zhen couldn’t afford the delay on her movie.
Ye Zhen’s words instill a favorable impression in Madam Zhou. Officials were most scrupulous about getting involved with business people.
“I know what to say to my husband.”
Ye Zhen and Madam Zhou smiled at each other and didn’t say anymore about this topic.
***
Just as Madam Zhou had said, the review process that took place in the following days went extremely smooth. The communication between Chaoxun Entertainment and the Review Department went very smoothly.
However, Ye Zhenting’s case review also came to an end during this time.
From Ye Zhenting’s arrest to the completion of the case review and prosecution, over four months had passed. A verdict was finally reached.
Ye Zhenting was found guilty of kidnapping and extortion. Human testimony and material evidence, including a phone recording were all available. Moreover, Ye Zhenting pleaded guilty to the charges. He was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The reason why Ye Zhenting so nimbly pleaded guilty was probably because he had thought about his outcome if he appealed and was successful. There were loan sharks waiting for him once he left prison. He wanted to save his life. In this day and age, there was only hope if you lived. There was nothing left once you died.
Therefore, he was fine as long as the loan sharks didn’t come looking for him in prison. As for Mother Ye and Ye Qing, their lives weren’t at risk. At most, the loan sharks would take away the mansion and their cars.
However, in the past four months, Mother Ye had been posting on Weibo every day. She angrily rebuked Ye Zhen for not taking into consideration the bond between parent and child and for framing her father. She asserted that was going to call the police and expose Ye Zhen’s true colors!
Mother Ye had also written a small article describing Ye Zhen’s indifference to her maiden family in the past years and how Ye Zhen was greedy and vain and stole her sister’s husband. Reading between the lines, one could see that she wished to trample Ye Zhen.
She was like a rabid dog on Weibo. She wouldn’t let off Ye Zhen.
Of course, this kind of ethical drama attracted many readers. In the past month, many people scolded Mother Ye from not knowing right from wrong and posted the link to that popular forum post to her. Mother Ye strongly denied the facts written in that forum post. She insisted that someone was deliberately discrediting her family.
Of course, there were people who thought there’s no smoke without fire. Since Mother Ye dared to say these things, then Ye Zhen must have done something awful and they just didn’t know about it. They shouted for Ye Zhen to come out and clarify the issue. After all, they were a family. Even if there were contradictions, she couldn’t sever her relationship with her family. She shouldn’t be so cold and ruthless.
However, the interest in this topic waned to nothing with the passage of time.
A month later, Mother Ye continued to bite at Ye Zhen, but except for the paid commenters stationed under her Weibo, no one paid attention to her.
No matter what she said, no one believed her anymore.
