"Xiaomeng, we have to wait outside." Ding Anxian said.
She pulled Yuan Meng aside.
Yuan Meng was so angry that she stamped her feet, "You bastard! She has blocked your phone number and WeChat account, and is avoiding you. She clearly wants to default on her debt!"
When it comes to this matter, it’s a long story.
An Ran was once a contracted actress with Huaxia Entertainment Company, but for many years it seemed that it was her fate to not be popular.
But things often turn out to be bright in the west but not in the east.
Enron was unable to gain popularity in the company, so he resigned from China Entertainment and established Enron Studio.
Subsequently, the live broadcast of goods was carried out on the online platform, but it was done very impressively.
Immediately, she discovered new business opportunities in the short video field.
Enron Studio looked for suitable scripts in online novels, which is also a common method used by large film and television companies.
Her agent Cao Lin discovered a completed novel written by Ding Anxian many years ago.
After negotiation between the two parties, Ding Anxian will write the script adaptation. Each episode will be about 11 minutes long, and it is expected to be thirty episodes.
After the adaptation, An Ran paid Ding Anxian 15,000 yuan per episode.
It lasted for almost half a year, and Ding Anxian successfully completed the adaptation. However, except for the down payment of 100,000 yuan, Ding Anxian did not receive any further money.
An Ran was still able to be found at first, but her agent Cao Lin always found various excuses.
Now, I have simply blocked Ding Anxian’s phone number and WeChat, and I can’t even find him.
It's not easy for Ding Anxian to live alone in Beijing, not to mention that this is the fruit of her labor after staying up late.
She finally chased her to the Lion Forest today because she wanted to ask An Ran to collect her debt face to face. If An Ran continued to cheat and refuse to pay, she would be prepared to take legal proceedings to resolve it.
In these days, it is not easy to litigate. Ordinary people do not want to take this road unless they have to.
The two of them could only wait patiently outside.
More than an hour later, a man and two women walked out of the Lion Grove and walked toward the parking lot talking and laughing.
"Sister Ding, do you think that person is An Ran?" Yuan Meng reminded.
"It's her, and her manager Cao Lin!" Ding Anxian recognized the other person and quickly chased after the others.
Yuan Meng quickly followed behind.
"Miss An Ran, Sister Cao, please wait a moment!" Ding Anxian shouted behind them.
An Ran and Cao Lin both stopped.
When they turned around and saw clearly that it was Ding Anxian, Cao Lin and An Ran both looked at each other and frowned without trace.
It's true that we are enemies on a narrow road, and we all chased each other here.
"Oh, it's Miss Ding, why are you here?" Cao Lin looked surprised.
"Sister Cao, Miss An Ran, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Can we talk alone."
When Ding Anxian saw a strange man next to her, she was still prepared to save some face for An Ran.
Unexpectedly, An Ran looked at the watch on her wrist and showed a very embarrassed expression.
"Ms. Ding, but I have something urgent to do now. I have to rush to the studio to shoot a movie. Can you please come to the studio tomorrow?"
"Yes, Miss Ding, you can come over and talk tomorrow." Cao Lin also said with a smile.
These two people knew clearly why Ding Anxian was looking for them, and they deliberately pretended to be confused.
This is true to the saying that those who borrow money are uncles, and those who collect debts become grandsons.
Besides, the three people in front of them had obviously just drank. Can they still go to work and film in this state?
It was obvious that he was prevaricating again.
"Miss An Ran, Sister Ding came here to ask you for the remaining balance, so just give it to her happily!"
At this time, Yuan Meng directly stated his intention.
She will not give face to the other party.
The more polite you are, the other person will think you are weak and talkative.
Among girls, Yuan Meng is relatively courageous, otherwise she would not go to Hong Kong alone.
Suddenly, An Ran's face became a little ugly.
"Miss Ding, is this your friend?" Cao Lin asked.
Ding Anxian nodded and said: "Yes, Xiaomeng is my friend. I am looking for you to get the remaining balance."
Cao Lin smiled and said, "Miss Ding, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. We are still filming."
Ding Anxian was very unhappy and her tone became a little cold.
"Sister Cao, the filming is your business. I have given you all the scripts in accordance with the contract. You should pay the balance in time according to the terms of the contract."
"Besides, you have already owed me more than a month."
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with this. The completion of the script and the filming are separate divisions of labor.
An Ran had a sullen face, full of disdain.
"Ms. Ding, my monthly personal expenses are three to four hundred thousand. Do you think I will owe you that little money?"
"Yes, An Ran's studio is still there, will he still run away? Miss Ding, your money will not be short of you." Cao Lin persuaded again.
At this time, Ding Anxian also knew that the other party was deliberately trying to default on his debts.
Smiling slightly, "Haha, of course Miss An Ran won't miss this little money. I'm just asking for the balance in accordance with the contract."
"The contract between us is very clearly written, and the balance will be paid in one lump sum after the manuscript is delivered."
Ding Anxian argued with reason and glanced at An Ran.
"To be honest, I don't want to make things too big. I hope you can understand."
An Ran's face was so gloomy that it almost dripped water.
Cao Lin also heard Ding Anxian's threatening tone, and she forced a smile.
"Miss Ding, we didn't say we wouldn't give it to you. You see that you are impatient and you chased me here. You unknowingly thought that Miss An Ran owed you something."
At this time, Yuan Meng sneered and said: "Haha, since Miss An Ran is not short of this little money, why did you block Sister Ding's phone number and WeChat account?"
"I think you should just pay the balance in one lump sum now so that we don't owe anything to each other. How about that?"
In comparison, Ding Anxian is relatively easy to talk to, but Yuan Meng is very tough.
Facing Yuan Meng's aggressiveness, both Cao Lin and An Ran lost face.
At this time, the young man who had been silent took a step forward, smelling of alcohol.
"Isn't it just a little balance? Do you need it in such a hurry? Miss An Ran told you to go to the studio tomorrow."
"If you delay Miss An Ran's affairs, who will accompany you for this loss?"
"Let's go, let's not talk nonsense with them. If you want money, go to the studio to settle the bill tomorrow!"
As he spoke, he opened the car door and politely asked An Ran to get in. Then, the man sat in the cab and started the Audi car.
"Miss Ding, please come to the studio tomorrow." Cao Lin glared at Yuan Meng angrily.
She turned around, opened the car door, and got in.
Naturally, Ding Anxian and Yuan Meng didn't believe this kind of prevarication. They were afraid that when they went to the studio tomorrow, there wouldn't even be anyone there.
Seeing that the other party continued to cheat, Ding Anxian was also very angry. She took a few steps forward and blocked the front of the Audi.
"No, if you want to give it, give it today. I don't believe you now."
Yuan Meng and Ding Anxian shared the same hatred and blocked the car.
He said loudly: "Anron, if you refuse to pay today, we will have to publish the chat content, transfer records and contracts."
"Don't say we won't give you a chance then. It won't do you any good to break up."
When An Ran heard Yuan Meng's words, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
It's not that she doesn't want to give, but her finances are really tight and she can only afford to give.
People like Ding Anxian who have no connections or background are the most likely to default.
Should she be allowed to default on those people with a big background?
An Ran came to the appointment tonight because the third young master Qian in front of her could help her.
