New York 2006

Chapter 171 Luo Ji and Britney’s Bad Day

On January 2008, 1, after having breakfast early in the morning, Luo Ji went to his study and opened Bloomberg.

Yesterday, the London Financial Times 100 Index, Paris CAC40 Index, Frankfurt DAX Index, Singapore Straits Times Index, Hong Kong Hang Seng Index, and Shanghai Shanghai Composite Index all fell by more than 5%.

That day was hailed as "Black Monday" by the media and truly became a global stock market crash.Luo Ji couldn't help but think that the Great Depression in 1929 was also caused by the stock market crash, and it was also caused by the stock market crash now. Will history repeat itself?

Time passed by, and suddenly a news popped up on Bloomberg. When Luo Ji saw the news, he felt a little more at ease.

Just an hour before the market opened, the Federal Reserve announced a 75 basis point interest rate cut. This was the first time since the September 9.11th incident that the Federal Reserve suddenly cut interest rates to rescue the market before the market opened. It was very powerful, lowering the federal benchmark interest rate from 4.25% to 3.5%. .

"It doesn't look like a big problem."

After Luo Ji finished speaking, he laughed, but was dumbfounded after the market opened. Apple's stock fell by 12%, Amazon's stock fell by 8%, and Booking Holdings' stock fell by more than 7%. Only Naphi's performance was better, only falling by 1%.

"What a bad day!"

After Luo Ji finished complaining, he turned off his computer and came to the living room.He saw Fiona preparing to go to his study.

"I just wanted to find you!"

Fiona came over with a newspaper, her face was very serious: "Take a look."

Luo Ji recognized the newspaper at a glance. The New York Post was the most famous gossip newspaper in the United States and had great influence.Luo Ji often sees his colleagues in the entertainment industry, and Britney visited the most often last year.

Luo Ji has appeared on the front page of the New York Post three times before, once for his scandal with Britney Spears, once for his scandal with Kristen Stewart while filming the music video, and once for his official announcement with Taylor.

"Britney's former assistant once again broke the news that Britney's drug and alcohol addiction is dangerous to her children. This time she no longer just expressed it verbally, but provided conclusive evidence."

The cover picture of the newspaper shows Britney sitting on the sofa in the living room, with some prescription drugs on the coffee table. She is holding her child in one hand and holding a wine glass in the other.

In the photo, Britney seems to be wearing no makeup. She looks very haggard and her eyes are unfocused, as if she stayed up all night last night.

Luo Ji said angrily: "This female assistant has scheming intentions. This picture is obviously Britney's state when she just woke up. Being misled by them is like a drug addict who is dangerous to children."

Fiona retorted: "Stop looking at Britney through a filter. She might really be addicted to drugs. Her state is very similar to the drug abusers I saw in the South Side of Chicago."

When Luo Ji heard this, he directly called his manager Braun. He asked, "You told me before that the revelations made by Britney's assistant about her were all lies. What is Britney's response now?" thing?"

In Britney's big villa in Studio City, Los Angeles, Britney held her young son in her arms and sat in the living room without saying a word. This morning's New York Post was on the table.The female agent stood aside and said.

"This damn Bichi actually changed your daily medication to opioids. Didn't you realize it all along? She also caused you to lose the custody lawsuit."

Britney said nothing, her face was ashen, she just coaxed the child.

The female agent looked at the door through the window. It seemed like she was back in the past. The door was full of paparazzi and several bodyguards stood guard at the door.

The female manager saw that Britney was in a bad state and was on the verge of collapse, so she gently comforted her.

"Let's do this. I'll take you to a private treatment center in the Caribbean Islands. Relax for a while. This kind of opioid is easy to withdraw from."

Britney stared at the newspaper on the table in a daze, looking in a daze, but still didn't say a word.The female agent could only worry on the sidelines.

At this moment, a bodyguard led Britney's ex-husband Kevin and a nanny in. Kevin was here to take care of the child today.

Two days ago, Britney lost the custody case due to her poor media image and bad remarks after the child welfare investigation. Today is the day when the child will be handed over, and custody will be handed over to Kay. arts.

As soon as Kevin entered the door, he scolded Britney: "You are an addict, are you raising your children like this every day?"

Britney was furious when she heard this and shouted excitedly: "Fxxk you, Kevin. Are you doing it for the children? You are doing it for the money!"

"Okay, okay, wait, I will continue to apply to the court, and you will not have visitation rights in the future!" Kevin stared at Britney angrily and continued: "Give me the child! You will never want to see her again. them."

When Britney heard this, she seemed to be greatly stimulated. She hugged her little son tightly and shouted heartbreakingly: "No."

Kevin wanted to grab it, but Britney was so frightened that she hugged her little son and ran inside.

A few people followed him belatedly and found that Britney had locked her and her two sons in the bathroom of the villa.

Britney was staying in the bathroom with her two children. She heard footsteps outside with vigilance. She shouted: "You go, you go."

The eldest son was a little scared when he saw his mother's collapse, but he took advantage of his mother's closeness. He walked tremblingly to Britney, hugged her and cried.

Britney also sobbed when she saw the child like this.When the little son, who was over one year old, heard his mother's cry, his baby instinct started to cry.

"Britney, don't be like this, come out quickly." The female manager persuaded her with earnest words outside: "This is stipulated by the court, and there is nothing we can do about it!" Britney never answered again, and only the sound of mother and son came from the bathroom. People cry.

When Kevin saw this scene, a smile appeared on his lips. He walked outside the door and quietly dialed 911.

An hour later, the female manager looked at the sudden appearance of the police and looked at Britney's ex-husband Kevin in surprise. She didn't expect him to do such an incredible job.

She was a little confused. The two people who used to be in love in the media had come to this point after the divorce and became complete enemies.

After some persuasion to no avail, the police found the key to the room and broke in directly, controlling Britney to the living room.

At this time, the living room was filled with a lot of people, the children were crying, Britney was crying, Kevin was cursing, everyone was talking and the police were asking questions.

"Who's taking care of Britney now?"

Just as the female manager was about to step forward to answer, Britney's father James Spears also appeared in the villa at some unknown time.

He walked up to the police with an expressionless face: "I am Britney's father. If you have any questions, you can tell me."

The policeman said: "Your daughter is in a very bad condition right now, so I suggest she be sent to the hospital for observation for a while."

James Spears said calmly: "I will cooperate with you."

In the afternoon, Luo Ji and his manager Braun watched the NBC news. A helicopter was taking aerial photos of the entrance to Britney's estate. An ambulance was parked next to it, surrounded by police officers, medical staff, and paparazzi. Everyone They all looked inside curiously.

The host said: "Now we see Britney lying on a stretcher and being pushed out of the manor."

The helicopter camera zoomed in, showing Britney looking in pain as she tried to struggle to get up, but was held down by the police and unable to move.The surrounding medical staff quickly helped and carried Britney into the ambulance.Britney's father, James Spears, followed suit.

The host continued: "We have received reports from insiders that Britney locked herself and her children in the bathroom today and refused to let Kevin take them away. According to the preliminary judgment of the police and medical staff, she may have a mental problem. .”

After the host finished speaking, he then said: "Let us review Britney's life over the past two years."

After Luo Ji read the whole story, he felt that Britney's life over the past two years had a sense of drama, not like it happened in reality.It is simply a farce, the purpose is just to make people all over the United States eat melon.

Britney divorced in 2007. She was photographed by paparazzi without wearing underwear. She had an affair with underage Logic. She shaved her head and used an umbrella to hit the paparazzi's car. It was revealed that she suffered from postpartum depression. The public opinion reversed and she gained sympathy from the media. She got completely divorced and released. album, a terrible performance at the MTV Awards, being betrayed by a female assistant, losing a child custody lawsuit.

Now, she has become what the media calls a psychopath.

Luo Ji spoke: "When did you lose the custody case? Why didn't I know!"

Braun hurriedly said: "Two days ago, I didn't have time to report to you. At that time, Britney's female assistant also testified in court. The photos that broke the news this morning were provided by her in court a few days ago. Unexpectedly She actually sold it to a newspaper again."

Luo Ji whispered: "Fxxk. Bran is such a simple person, but everyone sees her as a cash cow, and everyone around her betrays her. How painful must she be now."

Luo Ji quickly adjusted his mood and looked directly at Braun.

"What's going on with the female agent you sent? Why don't you stand up and say something now? You can just deal with it when you're emotional about losing your child. As a result, the whole country is now discussing Britney's mental disorder."

"I'll let her come out and say a few words." Braun agreed quickly.

Luo Ji said angrily: "Do you think it's too easy to make money just by being her agent? Do you still need me to remind you of this kind of thing? Have you been busy with the company's affairs and forgotten your own It’s your job! You’re an agent!”

Braun hurriedly spoke: "I will conduct public relations as soon as possible. But you really can't blame me. Why is Britney so innocent and doesn't know how to protect herself?"

"Ok?"

"My fault!"

Luo Ji stared at Braun and said, "You should stay with her these days. Your company affairs will be temporarily handed over to other people in the company to manage. Your first priority now is to solve Britney's problems." crisis of public opinion. Do your job well."

"I will." Braun said quickly: "You have to believe in my professional ability. We have been working together for so long, don't you still understand me?"

"Can you solve it then?"

"do not worry!"

Luo Ji's eyes turned sharp and he said, "Britney's former female assistant, go through the legal process, don't let her go, you have to protect your artist, don't let others look down upon you, stay strong."

Braun's eyes became sharp and he murmured: "I will!"
