Chapter 83
Ashley quickly replied to her and made arrangements.
On the side of the base, a group of people chattered and got into the car.
The lake was sparkling and shimmering with ripples in the wind. The leaves around the lake rustled, adding a bit of interest to the quiet lake area.
The people in charge of selection organized all the players and divided them into six teams for the competition.
One contestant, Hannah Perry, got on board and eventually chose to sit in the seat behind a wealthy woman.
A referee whistled and the two boats sprinted forward quickly.
Because all the players had no experience in rowing, the boat swayed and there were constant squealing and giggling.
The show got a very effective result and the location was boisterous.
The wind on the lake gradually increased, and the boat, which was already unstable, suddenly swayed more violently.
Just out of reach of the camera, the boat was capsized.
"Ah! Help!"
Stephanie Adkins, a rich girl, had fallen into the water!
She panicked and flopped into the water, "Help! I'm drowning!"
Others on the boat did not expect someone to fall, but were thrown into confusion, shouting to the shore to call for help.
The good thing was that the lifeguards were not far from the shore. As soon as they heard the call for help, they swam over and picked up Stephanie, who had been soaked through.
By now the shooting had been paused. Stephanie wiped the water from her face and broke into a furious rant.
"What's wrong with this scenic spot? What if something happens to me today!? Can you afford to pay for it?!"
The people in charge rushed to check her health condition and let out a long breath after confirming again and again that there was nothing seriously wrong with her.
Stephanie pointed the finger at the people in charge, "Why did you have to hold this outdoor event for no reason!? You've been negligent and caused me such a big embarrassment!"
The person in charge felt righteous and shut up, letting her yell out her anger.
Someone hid in the crowd watching the show and typed quickly to report mission accomplished. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Because it was a dead end of the scenic monitoring, the photographer who followed them also failed to capture. With the violent shaking at the time, no one even noticed what happened at the stern of the boat. Stephanie herself was also confused.
"Both your program and the scenic spot are responsible for this accident. I will definitely not take it easily! Wait for this matter to be exposed!" Stephanie finished her words with hatred and left the scenic spot in a rage.
The management team and the person in charge looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
They were all well aware of Stephanie's origin. Whether what she said was true or not, as long as she made it a hot spot news and caused a large number of netizens to follow it, it will definitely have an impact on Angle Group and the show.
"What can we do?" The selection manager was anxious, "In case she really exposes this matter, our salaries must be deducted in the end!"
"What else can we do? Find the director first!"
The person in charge made an immediate decision and took out his cell phone to call Lyra.
"A security incident?"
After listening to the report of the person in charge, Lyra frowned.
"After you submitted the application, I have read it carefully. That scenic area’s security measures are very well done. How can this happen? Don’t worry. Continue to organize the filming work normally. I will handle this matter."
The person in charge took a piece of mind, silenced the chattering trainees and took them back to the base.
With the outdoor shoot being interrupted by this accident, he had to plan a new shoot as soon as possible to record the next part before it aired next week.
Lyra stopped the task at hand and dealt with this one first.
She immediately called Kellie and asked her to arrange for the staff to go over the security facilities again.
"Okay."
After hearing the arrangement, Kellie, however, did not go immediately, but stood still and seemed to have something to say again.
Lyra didn't look up, "What else?"
"Director! That player who fell into the water has upload a statement about the accident. She also said conclusively that our company's safety measures are not in place, threatening to ask for compensation!"
Lyra finally looked up and compressed her lips meaningfully, "Give me the phone."
She scanned the content and its attention, then understood
"Got it. You go ahead and do what I just instructed you to do. By the way, have someone download all the videos of that time for me."
Kellie had been with her for a long time and had figured out some of her style of handling things. But this was a performance accident after all. She was still worried and can't help but remind: "Director, does this not matter?"
If this momentum continued, the company's reputation will definitely be greatly reduced!
Lyra did not explain too much. She actually had a conclusion in her heart, in the knowledge that the location where the trainee fell into the water happened just in the place which had camera dead angle, which made it confirm her idea.
They just started shooting for only one part but so many things happened one after another. Three actresses asked to withdraw consecutively, but really ... The road to success was strewn with setbacks.
This time, however, she decided to take the trip herself.
A hundred girls stayed together all day long. If she didn’t show up and play rough, they may cause more troubles in the future.
The news of Lyra's arrival spread immediately. Most people were still expecting the director's arrival, but Hannah, who knew Lyra's intentions, was not so calm.
She was weak and not rich. After she found Lyra seem to be serious about this accident, she had a guilty conscience and quietly hid herself in a place where had surveillance dead end to contact Ashley.
When the call was answered, she made her meaning clear.
"Angle Group's director has begun to suspect. This matter will certainly not be able to hide. Our cooperation ends here, and your purpose has been achieved anyway!"
Ashley on the other end of the phone didn't expect her to be so timid, and what she did hadn't given any real blow to Lyra yet, and she was trying to make a run for it.
"Are you sure you want to go against the big hitters later?"
She didn't expect this girl to be open-minded.
"I did not know her before. Recently I only heard some of her deeds. This woman is so shrewd, even the Matthews family former heiress can be pulled down by her. Don’t mention being famous. If she finds out who did this, I’ll definitely die!"
Seeing that other trainees were coming from afar, she was busy hanging up the phone, deleting all the call records by the way and blacking out her number.
Ashley's eyes on the other end went dark.
This bitch! How dared she hang up her phone?!
She was ruthless, and immediately had a plan.
...
Because it had been rather late when she arrived at the base, Lyra lived in a nearby hotel. However, in the next day’s morning, there was something wrong happening.
She got up early and arrived at the shooting location just in time to get the contestants up.
But after gathering and counting, she found that there were fewer people.
"Call Hannah."
An administrator carefully reported the name of the missing participant.
She looked at Lyra's face, which was even younger than hers, and was actually calm and collected?
She didn't know if it was a pretense, or she simply didn’t know the seriousness of the matter.
But once the news of the missing contestant got out, the company's reputation would be totally ruined!
"Is the news blocked?" Lyra asked, looking over the girl's photo.
"It's been blocked, but there's still some discussions on the Internet."
She felt puzzled. Obviously the news was well blocked. Why was still news posted on the Internet?
Lyra did not seem to hear the last half of the sentence, only handed the photo to the person in charge, "Check well. When the day Stephanie fell into the water, if this girl named Hannah is sitting next to her."
"This ..."
To be honest, there were so many players that day, and they were not quite remembered.
"Well, you go ahead and pacify the trainees and leave the rest to me."
When the person in charge left, Lyra quickly dialed a phone number.
"Boss, please command."
"Find someone for me, Hannah."
