Chapter 932: How Was It Broken?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing that she was really checking, the a.s.sistant’s expression became even more ugly. Was it worth it? For such a lousy thing?
“Why is this buckle broken?” Little Zhao’s expression changed slightly. She smiled apologetically and said, “It was fine when I brought it over. Now that it’s broken, I can’t report back.”
“How is it broken? Wasn’t it originally like this?” The a.s.sistant said, “We only took a few pictures with it. How could there be a problem? Don’t tell me it wasn’t like this when you brought it over?”
Little Zhao shook his head. “Really. I even specially checked it when I brought it over. It’s broken now. You need to be responsible for this…”
“I’m warning you not to speak nonsense. Do you know that you’re slandering us? We have the right to sue you!” With that said, the a.s.sistant turned around and strode away.
!!
Little Zhao could not stop him and was so anxious that her face was red.
s.h.i.+ Jin walked over and asked, “What’s going on?”
“This buckle is broken and needs to be repaired, but this jewelry is very expensive. I wonder how much money needs be used to repair it.” Little Zhao was extremely anxious. “I’ve contacted so many artists’ a.s.sistants to give me all kinds of things back and forth. I’ve really never encountered such a thing…”
She was about to cry.
She had no evidence to prove that Sha Haimu had broken it.
Did she have to compensate herself?
“Originally, when Sha Haimu came to take this jewelry, our supervisor refused to give it to him. He came repeatedly and said good things and made promises, so the supervisor couldn’t resist and lent it to him. Who knew that he would turn around and do this?”
“Can it be repaired?” s.h.i.+ Jin asked.
“It can be repaired, but it will definitely cost a lot. This bracelet itself is worth more than a hundred thousand yuan.” Little Zhao was very discouraged.
She said in a low voice, “Because Lin Luo is doing promotion, he’s about to be promoted to a spokesperson. He used it a few times during filming previously. Lin Luo used it so many times, but there wasn’t anything wrong.”
“You mean Lin Luo used this to shoot?”
“That’s right. However, we only lent it to him the first time. Later, after we confirmed that we wanted to cooperate with him, we sent it to him in batches. All the new products were sent to him. After all, he has a good figure and is refres.h.i.+ng. He looks very elegant no matter what he wears. Everyone is attracted to him.”
s.h.i.+ Jin basically understood why Sha Haimu specifically wanted to borrow this one.
If Lin Luo wore it, he would immediately wear it too. It would make the CP fans feel like they their s.h.i.+p had sailed and believe that they were real.
He was first place in pretending to be gay.
“Take it back and repair it first. Pay for it first. Leave me your phone number.”
Little Zhao thanked s.h.i.+ Jin for her good intentions and knew that this was the only way.
If Sha Haimu and his a.s.sistant did not admit it, she would definitely bear the responsibility herself.
If she repaired such a bracelet, she would probably spend two months of her salary.
s.h.i.+ Jin walked in and saw Sha Haimu sitting on the sofa reading a thick philosophy book. The cameramen were surrounding him.
It turned out that the program had already started recording.
No wonder he picked up the book to read.
s.h.i.+ Jin gestured to the cameraman, indicating that he should not film for the time being. She had something to say to Sha Haimu.
The cameraman left.
s.h.i.+ Jin sat down beside Sha Haimu.
Sha Haimu revealed a smile that did not reveal his teeth. He looked quite feminine.
s.h.i.+ Jin resisted the urge to s.h.i.+ver and said, “Just now, an a.s.sistant from the brand came to take the bracelet you borrowed, but the bracelet’s buckle was broken. You must compensate her for the damage.”
“Broken it? I don’t know.” Sha Haimu looked very innocent.
It was impossible for him not to know that the bracelet was broken.
s.h.i.+ Jin said indifferently, “Then you should know now that I told you.”
“Who knows if the brand’s a.s.sistant broke it? They want to scam me? It’s not that easy for celebrities to earn money, right?”
s.h.i.+ Jin could tell that he did not want to admit it. “In that case, let the cameraman continue. I’ll also confirm with the brand’s a.s.sistant what happened when you borrowed it and what happened during the filming. I’ll try to find out who else did it and who destroyed it.”
s.h.i.+ Jin reached out and gestured for the cameraman to come over.
Sha Haimu quickly stopped her. “s.h.i.+ Jin, wait.”
“Oh, is there anything else?”
“It’s not easy for the brand’s a.s.sistant to work. Even if she broke it, it doesn’t matter if I compensate. How about this? How much do you need? I’ll get my a.s.sistant to compensate her.”
Sha Haimu’s att.i.tude changed.
s.h.i.+ Jin could already tell that he was very worried that she would expose him in public for going to the brand repeatedly to borrow the bracelet. Once she said it in front of the camera, he would not be able to hide the fact that he was pretending to be gay in his one man show.
This also indirectly admitting that all the instances of him pretending to be gay was true.
It could also be said that he had broken the bracelet himself. He had been s.h.i.+rking his responsibility.
s.h.i.+ Jin had seen many celebrities. Some had terrible characters and had their own power, but this was the first time she had seen such low-cla.s.s people.
She could not be bothered to say a word. She only said, “Get your a.s.sistant to come. I’ll watch him compensate.”
Sha Haimu’s a.s.sistant was called over.
In front of s.h.i.+ Jin, he reluctantly transferred 50,000 yuan to Little Zhao’s WeChat.
“Note the reason for payment,” s.h.i.+ Jin reminded.
Otherwise, they might have a reason to sue Little Zhao for extortion.
The a.s.sistant reluctantly did as s.h.i.+ Jin said.
“That’s enough, right?” The a.s.sistant sounded indignant.
“Why didn’t you do this earlier?” s.h.i.+ Jin said and turned to leave.
The a.s.sistant made a fist.
Sha Haimu was very disdainful. “Forget it, don’t argue with her. A woman with long hair, but short foresight. Who does she think she is?”
“If not for there being so many people, I would really want to slap her,” the a.s.sistant said in a nasty tone.
s.h.i.+ Jin sent a message to Little Zhao. “Remember to keep the invoice for the bracelet repair and all the evidence. Don’t let others say that you’re extorting them in the end.”
“Yes, yes. I understand. Thank you, s.h.i.+ Jin.” Little Zhao’s voice was choked.
It was the last day of the show, so s.h.i.+ Jin did not delay much. She immediately went back and entered work mode.

The morning and noon went very smoothly. However, when it was almost evening, everyone encountered a little difficulty in their travel.
Hu Yanlan said, “It’s like this. Now that we’re going to the next city, we need 98 yuan each to buy tickets, but we miscalculated previously and didn’t know that the price had increased. We thought that we only needed 58 more yuan, so we opened up a little for lunch, but in the end, we made a huge mistake. The current situation is that the remaining money is not enough to buy tickets for six people. We can only buy tickets for three people.”
Everyone looked at each other.
