"Replace the lead actor and reshoot."
"Huh?" This was the last thing the secretary expected.
"But the losses..."
"Cancel the quarterly bonuses of the casting department entirely and replace the casting manager. Let them remember that from now on, when we of the Li family select people, we should choose those with both talent and virtue. Someone with questionable private morals will only cause harm to society if they're allowed in our Li family's movies." Song Jiaye said firmly, "A company should have the most basic sense of social responsibility. To make all employees recognize this, I'm willing to spend the money for the reshoot."
The secretary nodded and quickly assigned the task in the group.
After resolving the company's matter, he casually found an excuse to send Lu Xingqi away. Then Song Jiaye took Li Qiyu out of the office building.
By this time, his decision had caused quite a stir.
Replacing the actor and reshooting would cost no less than making a new movie. It took great determination to make such a decision!
The Li family's public relations were truly efficient. They spread Song Jiaye's words through the media. After suffering such a heavy blow, instead of dropping, the stocks of Li Film Industry began to soar all the way and even hit the daily limit.
At this moment, Song Jiaye, who had caused a big stir in the movie circle, was accompanying his wife for a check - up in the hospital.
The results of the check - up were the same as before.
There was a slight concussion in her brain, but it wasn't serious. After the psychiatrist evaluated Li Qiyu's condition, they also thought her cognitive and learning abilities were fine.
She just seemed to have forgotten everything. Like a newborn baby, she was in a state of confusion about the world and needed someone to teach her.
They suggested that in this situation, Song Jiaye'd better find a psychologist for Li Xiyu.
Song Jiaye remembered that Li Xiyu did have a psychologist.
Ming Yuexin, the most famous psychologist in the city.
Before the psychologist got off work, Song Jiaye sent Li Qiyu to her clinic.
Ming Yuexin was curious when she saw Li Qiyu, but Li Qiyu didn't recognize her at all. She conducted a series of evaluations on Li Qiyu. In her many years of practice, she'd seen all kinds of strange cases, but Li Xiyu's situation was really rare.
After the diagnosis, Ming Yuexin asked Song Jiaye to stay and told Li Qiyu to wait outside.
"Your wife is like a different person. The shell is the same, but the inside has changed." Ming Yuexin evaluated.
Now it was Song Jiaye's turn to be confused.
"Could it be that she really time - traveled?"
Ming Yuexin rolled her eyes at Song Jiaye.
"Mr. Song, having such thoughts is dangerous. It seems I need to conduct a psychological evaluation on you."
After the joke, it was time to get down to business. Ming Yuexin opened Li Xiyu's file. After all, Li Xiyu was an old client here, and Ming Yuexin was familiar with her.
Ming Yuexin said, "Considering her previous situation, your wife should have been greatly stimulated, which led to her desire to avoid the world. She mistakenly thought she was an ancient queen who had time - traveled to modern times and firmly believed in it. However, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing."
"Is this not a bad thing when things have come to this?"
"Do you know what your wife was like before this?"
"What was she like?" Song Jiaye knew Li Xiyu was Ming Yuexin's client, but rich people liked to see psychologists. It wasn't that they were really sick; they just had some unspeakable secrets weighing on their hearts and wanted to confide in someone who would never tell.
It was the same principle as people praying in religion.
He originally thought Li Xiyu was the same, just doing it for fun.
Normally, this matter involved patient privacy. But now that Li Xiyu was in this state, and Song Jiaye was her husband, he had the right and obligation to know Li Xiyu's real situation and help her.
"She has severe bipolar disorder. In layman's terms, it's called manic - depression. She can't control her temper. So, most of the time you saw her in a hysterical state. At least for now, I can see that she's much calmer and more stable. Even if she's a fool, she's a happy one. It's better than being a painful madwoman, don't you think?"
"Manic - depression?"
"I'm a psychologist. Generally speaking, I only tell lies when comforting patients." Seeing Song Jiaye's shocked and skeptical look, Ming Yuexin stood up and comforted him, "Okay, go and accompany her well. She's had a tough time."
Song Jiaye moved his lips with difficulty and asked, "Why... did she get manic - depression? Can I know the reason?"
Ming Yuexin waved her hand and said, "You're challenging my professional bottom line. Unless I get the patient's permission, I won't tell you her mental journey." After a pause, Ming Yuexin added, "Even if it were Old Master Song sitting here today, I wouldn't say a word."
Hearing Ming Yuexin mention Old Master Song, Song Jiaye frowned and said, "I'm asking you to treat patients, not to give me a headache."
"Old Master Song is still waiting for you to go back. Are you really going to abandon such a huge family business and let outsiders take advantage of it?"
"It has nothing to do with me."
Song Jiaye was annoyed by this topic. He stood up and walked straight out.
Ming Yuexin didn't try to stop him. After all, it was time for her to get off work.
She watched Song Jiaye help Li Qiyu leave the clinic, and the smile on her face gradually turned into helplessness.
Alas, even if Song Jiaye really wanted to go back now, it would probably be a difficult road.
A woman with manic - depression who was now in a half - crazy and half - stupid state would never be accepted by the Song family.
It was really tough.
Ming Yuexin shook her head, went to the locker room, took off her gentle long dress, and put on a punk outfit. Then she grabbed the keys to her sports car on the table.
The gentle and intellectual psychologist got off work.
The wild punk girl went on duty!
On the way, Li Qiyu was always in a gloomy mood. Song Jiaye had been staring at the stock market trend, but none of those numbers could sink into his mind. The word "manic - depression" kept echoing in his heart.
He exited the stock page and started searching for knowledge about manic - depression. While searching, he would glance at Li Xiyu beside him.
The proud and noble Miss Li could also get sick?
And what state was she in now?
Did she really lose her memory and prefer to hide in the dream of being a queen?
However, this woman who had just been deemed crazy by the psychologist suddenly blurted out, "Song Jiaye, why did you lie to me?"
This question left Song Jiaye completely confused.
Lie to her?
Where did this come from?
"Song Jiaye, tell me the truth. Are you really from that era?"
Song Jiaye really didn't want to play this make - believe game with her at his age. But then, thinking of Ming Yuexin's words, he wavered.
Should he accompany her and play this game?
