"Holy crap!"
The surrounding actors couldn't help but exclaim, rushing over to try and save her.
But the speed of her descent was too fast.
Even with a mat below, being crushed by machinery wouldn't be pleasant.
With a loud "bang," Li Bao Rui's body slammed heavily onto the ground. The mat below did save her life.
Hearing the commotion behind her, she quickly turned her head to look and saw a machine crashing down.
"Ah!" Li Bao Rui screamed as she saw the machine smash onto her legs.
Instinctively, she tried to pull her feet back, but found that as soon as she retracted them slightly, they were immediately trapped.
With a "bang," the front of the machine smashed onto her feet.
She immediately felt a burning pain in her feet.
The pain caused Li Bao Rui to cry out in agony.
Overcome by the pain, she fainted.
"Li Bao Rui! Li Bao Rui! Call an ambulance quickly!"
Zhao Yan sat next to Zhang Dan. Although she didn't drink much, she could use her own vital energy to expel the alcohol she consumed.
Therefore, no matter how much she drank, she wouldn't get drunk.
He Jing had initially worried that Zhao Yan's heavy drinking would make her drunk, but now he knew his worries were completely unnecessary.
"Yan Yan, I have to toast you again," Zhang Dan handed over the wine and poured it into Zhao Yan's glass.
"You've contributed immensely to us breaking the record. You're practically the goddess of variety shows."
As she said this, Zhang Dan let out a burp.
"Director Zhang, you flatter me too much. I'm not a goddess of variety shows," Zhao Yan said, shaking her head.
This was all a coincidence. She hadn't expected the murderer to show up at the scene to watch the excitement.
Perhaps they were a little worried, wanting to see if anyone had found any clues.
Or perhaps they believed their actions could deceive everyone.
"After our unanimous decision, we want to invite you to be a regular guest on our show, [Immediate Pursuit of the Killer]."
"Yan Yan, *hic* you can't refuse!" Zhang Dan said affectionately, holding Zhao Yan's hand.
They couldn't let their ratings magnet slip away.
"Director Zhang, didn't you say that [Immediate Pursuit of the Killer] can only have four regular guests and one guest star? If you add Miss Zhao now, that makes five regular guests," Shen Fei said.
"I have a good feeling about Yan Yan. I can make an exception for her this time!" Zhang Dan said.
Hearing Zhang Dan's words, Shen Fei said nothing more.
"How long will [Immediate Pursuit of the Killer] be filmed? Will it be continuous filming or with intervals?" Zhao Yan asked.
"Continuous filming," Zhang Dan replied.
"Continuous? Then I'll consider it," Zhao Yan did not agree immediately.
Not getting Zhao Yan's confirmation, Zhang Dan said anxiously, "Yan Yan, if you agree, I'll sign the contract and increase your pay."
"How about this amount per episode?" Zhang Dan raised a finger.
"One million?" Zhao Yan rubbed her chin. One million was indeed a bit low for her current fame and popularity.
"Wrong, ten million!" Zhang Dan said.
"Congratulations, Xiao Zhao, ten million per episode!"
"Come, I'll toast you!"
He Jing poured wine and said to Zhao Yan.
"My rate is only seven million per episode, and you've immediately surpassed me. Amazing!" Zhao Ling Jun gave a thumbs up.
Zhao Yan knew that this variety show might be filmed for twelve episodes.
The great effect she had today wouldn't necessarily be replicated in the next episode.
Not every murderer would go to the crime scene.
"Director Zhang, I still need to consider this carefully. Once I've made up my mind, I'll give you a satisfactory answer," Zhao Yan said seriously.
Seeing that she hadn't managed to keep Zhao Yan, Zhang Dan couldn't help but sigh.
However, seeing that Zhao Yan hadn't completely shut the door, it meant there was still a chance.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
As they were speaking, Zhang Dan's phone rang.
She put down her wine glass and picked up her phone from the table.
Taking a look, she saw it was Li Bao Rui's agency calling.
Listening to the content of the call, Zhang Dan immediately stood up, "What did you say? Li Bao Rui's legs are broken, and she'll need to rest in bed for at least a year?"
The people eating nearby heard this and gasped, their eyes widening.
Zhang Dan hung up the phone.
"Director Zhang, is what you just said true? Li Bao Rui's legs are broken, what happened?"
Zhang Dan rubbed her forehead. Li Bao Rui had good fame and popularity, and her career was on the rise. Now that her legs were broken, she definitely wouldn't be able to participate in her show, and she would have to find someone else.
"The wire rigging machine suddenly broke, and she fell from mid-air. The machine accidentally crushed her legs."
Zhao Ling Jun looked towards Zhao Yan upon hearing this.
He had stood beside Zhao Yan earlier and overheard her conversation with Li Bao Rui.
Zhao Yan had seemed to warn Li Bao Rui at the time, telling her not to move around recklessly, to go home and rest for a few days, and to avoid bad luck.
She had also mentioned that this would lead to a decline in her career.
Now it seemed to be eerily accurate.
With broken legs, she would be bedridden for a year and unable to participate in any shows, TV series, or movies.
These resources wouldn't wait for her to recover.
If a celebrity remained inactive for a year, their popularity would undoubtedly decline significantly.
When Li Bao Rui recovered, her career would be greatly affected, and her resources would be transferred to other celebrities by the company.
If Li Bao Rui could still be promoted by capital, then there might be a chance, but that was highly unlikely.
"The staff for this drama are too careless!" Shen Fei exclaimed.
Thinking of the moment the wire rigging machine fell, he felt a pain in his own feet.
"Alas, please continue eating. I'm going to go see her," Zhang Dan said, and immediately left the gathering.
The atmosphere was no longer as good as before. Everyone else also wanted to go see Li Bao Rui.
Zhao Yan, however, did not go. She had kindly warned her, and it was Li Bao Rui who hadn't heeded her advice.
After Wu Jiaxin finished eating with Lin Miao Miao, Zhao Yan planned to take them home.
As soon as they walked out of the shop, they were called to a halt.
Turning around, she saw Zhao Ling Jun chasing after them, taking out his phone and saying, "Can we add each other on WeChat? To expand my network! It'll be easier to take care of things in the future."
"Add my assistant," Zhao Yan replied.
Zhao Ling Jun was taken aback for a moment, surprised that someone would refuse his WeChat contact.
He gave a soft "hmm" and, seeing Wu Jiaxin take out her phone, scanned the QR code and added her on WeChat.
Zhao Yan took a step forward and, seeing Zhao Ling Jun still standing there, asked, "Is there something?"
Zhao Ling Jun pushed his bangs up, pointed to his forehead, and said, "Miss Zhao, can you tell me if I'll be unlucky recently?"
