Rebirth Sweet Wife, Super Cute

Chapter 584: Chapter 584: This Is Even More Shameless Than Dining and Dashing

Bai Haoxue quickly called up the film crew’s surveillance footage and soon found the person who had entered the wardrobe room and cut up the crew’s clothes.

Lin Zhan gave the person who had cut the clothes a kick, making him kneel in front of Bai Haoxue.

Bai Haoxue recognized him; he was Qi Lei, an employee responsible for the crew’s costumes.

"Qi Lei, who told you to do this?" The director was so angry his hair was almost standing on end.

The clothes were ruined, leaving the actors without costumes, affecting filming and delaying the crew.

Every day of delay cost money, and their crew was already poor enough and couldn’t afford it.

Qi Lei remained silent, refusing to say a word.

Lin Zhan couldn’t hold his anger and kicked him again, "Are you gonna talk or not, dammit?"

"Just consider me crazy," Qi Lei said.

Bai Haoxue spoke calmly, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll send you to the police station?"

"Afraid, of course I am," Qi Lei replied, "but not too much. I only ruined a few costumes, some of which I designed myself, and the police wouldn’t detain me for long."

"You..." Tang Lingmu, standing nearby, was fuming at Qi Lei’s attitude.

Because what he said was true.

Bai Haoxue said, "Alright, since you’re not afraid of jail or being sued for compensation.

Then go to jail!

No matter how many days it is, once you’ve been to jail, we’ll make this public. After that, not only will no one in the industry want you, but even finding a job will be tough."

"Since I’ve done it, I can live with the consequences," Qi Lei stated.

"Very well, since you’ve thought it through so clearly," Bai Haoxue said, "we’ll leave it at that."

She called the police, who collected evidence and then took Qi Lei away.

"Miss Haoxue, he’s right, his crime isn’t severe. Are we just going to let him go like this?"

Bai Haoxue said, "Right now, the urgent thing is to solve the costume issue immediately. As for Qi Lei, you can see his attitude; he won’t talk.

Ignore him for now, let him cool off for a few days, and after he’s been at the police station for a while, it’ll be easier to question him."

"Director, continue with your filming, I’ll handle the costume issue."

"How are we going to handle it?" The director was at his wit’s end, "After today’s shoot, we’ll need that batch of costumes the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"I’ll have a new batch of identical costumes made and delivered by the day after tomorrow."

Bai Haoxue instructed the workers to help load the ruined costumes onto the truck.

Then she immediately asked Lin Zhan to take her back to the city.

Lin Zhan said, "Miss Haoxue, these costumes are all very delicate, and most are hand-embroidered. You have just over a day. How are you going to pull this off?"

Bai Haoxue responded with a tone of helplessness, "What else can I do? I can only ask for help from a rival!"

Lin Zhan: "..."

"What???!!!" Lin Zhan cleared his ears, "Miss Haoxue, are you out of your mind? Or did I mishear you?"

Bai Haoxue shrugged, expressing her exhaustion, "I don’t want to either, but there’s no other way.

Didn’t you say the E Family is the largest clothing manufacturer in the country? And Zhuang Yunge is the boss behind the E Family; she’s also a top designer. Who else should I ask?"

Lin Zhan: "..."

That’s true, but Zhuang Yunge clearly doesn’t like you!

"I know she doesn’t like me," Bai Haoxue said, "but I’m not the type to expect a freebie. I’ll pay, alright? She’s in business; she can’t refuse money walking through the door, right?

If she really refuses, I’ll ask Ji Hanyu to come with me. To maintain her good image in front of Ji Hanyu, she’ll surely agree."

Lin Zhan: "..."

This is even more shameless than expecting a freebie, isn’t it?
