Chapter 2237: Could Always Get Another Job

Knowing that Ge Qiu and Ji Beiye had AIDS, none of the crew—whether it be the directors, the actors, or even the extras—wanted to shoot the movie anymore.
What if they contracted AIDS?
They would rather not get the money. The movie shooting was originally proceeding well, but now, these people would rather pay the liquidated damages than continue shooting.
Besides, in their current state, who knew what kind of mess they would produce even if they continued filming?
This hugely expensive and flamboyant movie was thus aborted just like that.
They couldn’t get new directors or actors, either. No matter how much money Su Qi and Si Nan had, they wouldn’t be able to kill people’s instinct to fear death.
Su Qi and Si Nan lost their temper quite a lot. They were especially very dissatisfied and furious with artists under their own management.
Those famous celebrities no longer wanted to stay in the company. Their boss had AIDS. What if they got infected with it too?
As it happened, there were other companies poaching celebrities so they paid the liquidated damages for them. Some big names also already had their own studios, so they weren’t afraid at all.
Many employees in the company had also quit their jobs. They could always get another job, but if they contracted AIDS, they’d be left with nothing.
This simultaneously hurt both of their companies. This was why they had tried to hide their AIDS diagnosis.
It had very serious consequences.
As a result, a large number of people lined up to go to the hospital to get themselves tested for AIDS. Nearly the entire entertainment industry was in turmoil.
This included both male and female stars, as well as the assistants and managers.
The entertainment industry was a very chaotic one. Every relationship in it was complicated. Suppose a female star once had an affair with Su Qi. She could, after that, have an affair with a director. That director could then have an affair with many female stars. These female stars could have connections with other directors and other stars.
They were countless melons on the same vine.
Some people, who had only been in contact with them, also went to the hospital for testing just to be safe.
Hospitals scored major profits for a while.
Ning Shu paid attention to all this. Meanwhile, she had also handed over her resume to some large companies in the capital city. She was now waiting for a reply.
Ning Shu planned to resign and leave this place shortly. She wanted to go to the big city and make a name for herself.
She felt like the mountain on her back had gradually moved away. The dark clouds above her head had also gradually dispersed.
Si Nan, Su Qi, Ji Beiye, and Ge Qiu were now no longer able to take care of themselves. There was a large-scale wave of resignations in Si Nan and Su Qi’s respective companies as well.
Even if they promised a good salary, people still wouldn’t want to work for them.
The movie was canceled. All the investment put into the movie in its early stage was wasted. It was no small amount, either. Since the movie wasn’t made, they couldn’t even get a dime back.
However, when Ning Shu was at work, the police actually came to find her. The police officer was accompanied by a guy who wore a peaked cap and a mask.
The police officer called Ning Shu out of the supermarket and asked Ning Shu, “Have you been here the whole time recently?”
“Yeah. I work here, Sir. I haven’t done anything wrong, have I? Why are you questioning me like I’m a criminal?” Ning Shu said, staring at the man who wore a mask and a hat.
Si Nan took off his mask, and Ning Shu immediately took a step back. “Stay back! You have AIDS.”
