Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 454 - 453: Issue a Banishment Order
Park Yu-ji was the president of HeSi Cosmetics Company, busy with affairs, and after hastily signing the contract with He Mengjie, he hurriedly left Hong Kong.
As for the subsequent specific operational matters, those were to be arranged by the responsible person in the company in contact with He Mengjie's agent and did not require Park Yu-ji's personal involvement.
Not long after Park Yu-ji left, He Mengjie's agent's phone started ringing.
He Mengjie's agent picked it up, but after a few words, her complexion drastically changed, and even her voice altered.
"You, you're saying the Mainland Broadcasting Authority has issued a ban on He Mengjie? Why? How is this possible!"
"It's a decision from the higher-ups, if you ask me, who do I ask? Anyway, the show we talked about last time is canceled," the person on the other end hung up quickly.
The agent had just hung up the phone and before she had the chance to go speak with He Mengjie about the matter, her phone rang incessantly again.
One call after another came to the agent, and when He Mengjie came inside and saw her drenched in sweat, with a somewhat pale face, she still had no idea what had happened and asked, "Liu Rong, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"
"It's over! It's all over! The Mainland Broadcasting Authority suddenly issued a ban on you, now all your commercial performances and shows you were going to attend are canceled, and every movie and TV drama role you were going to play… all canceled…" Agent Liu Rong looked at He Mengjie, her voice trembling as she spoke.
"Nonsense! I am a popular Hong Kong super star, and just recently I was dining with the chief director of this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the Mainland, and he even said they wanted to invite me to participate in this year's gala. You should know the relationship between CCTV and the Broadcasting Authority, right? How could the Mainland Broadcasting Authority suddenly issue a ban on me? You must have made a mistake," He Mengjie retorted in disbelief.
"My dear granny, just in the little while that you stepped away, I've already received no less than ten phone calls, how could there be a mistake?" The agent replied with a bitter smile.
"This, how can this be? It makes no sense!" Upon hearing this, He Mengjie finally realized the ban was real, and she stood there stunned, her face turning visibly uglier.
With the rapid development of the economy in the Mainland, it had gradually become the biggest market for Hong Kong stars, and the true place where they struck gold, and He Mengjie was no exception.
Whether it was Liu Jiayao seeking her out or Park Yu-ji, both were because she had many fans and admirers in the Mainland; without the massive popularity from the Mainland, He Mengjie's value would plummet.
Despite looking down on the Mainland with contempt at the Peninsula Hotel restaurant yesterday, even mocking Ge Dongxu in a derogatory tone as a "Mainland boy," she was actually well aware that she could not do without the Mainland market.
"Could it really be that young man?" Suddenly, the agent and He Mengjie almost simultaneously thought of the same person, and they looked at each other with shocked faces.
"It's impossible! Absolutely impossible! It must just be a coincidence." However, they quickly shook their heads in denial.
They simply could not imagine that a young man's energy could be so vast that, after He Mengjie deliberately mocked him last night, saying he had the ability to ban her, she was banned by the Mainland today.
"How about we make a call to Liu, the head of Qinglan Cosmetics, to probe?" After shaking their heads, Liu Rong suggested.
"Don't you dare! What are they? I don't believe they can actually ban me; there must be some other reason," He Mengjie immediately refused.
Liu Rong hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded and said, "No matter the reason, we must go to the mainland right away and visit the relevant people."
"Do I have to go too?" He Mengjie asked with a frown.
"My dear miss, now is not the time for you to put on airs. We need to get the SARFT to lift your ban as soon as possible; otherwise, the longer it lasts, your losses will be immeasurable," Liu Rong said.
He Mengjie frowned again, but eventually nodded and said, "Alright then."
Because she understood very clearly that the mainland market was extremely important to her.
...
Two days later.
On the plane from Beijing to Hong Kong, He Mengjie was wearing sunglasses, with a gloomy expression, completely lacking her usual radiance and drive.
In these two days, she, along with her agent Liu Rong and the relevant persons in charge from her entertainment agency, Chao Huang, visited quite a few people in the circle. They also visited some leaders of the SARFT that they could access. Even He Mengjie, who used to take pride in her status and was quite haughty, personally made efforts to flatter and appease, but to no avail.
Not only were they unable to get the SARFT to lift the ban on He Mengjie through their efforts, but they couldn't even find out the root cause. Privately, Liu Rong and He Mengjie asked around for information about Liu Jiayao and Ge Dongxu, to see if this issue could be related to them. The results confirmed what they had already surmised: Liu Jiayao and Ge Dongxu had no significant background or connections.
"Mengjie, Yu Xin always thought highly of you, and it was she who recommended you to the company. Why don't you go find her when we get back and ask her to help us by requesting Master Gu to speak to the mainland for us. It is said that Master Gu has connections and is on good terms with the upper echelon on the mainland. As long as he is willing to speak on your behalf, the mainland should give us some face," Liu Rong said after some thought, looking at He Mengjie's gloomy face.
"Sister Yu Xin? Right, I almost forgot about her. I'll go find her immediately when we get back," He Mengjie's eyes brightened behind her sunglasses, and her previously gloomy face cleared.

The Peak commonly known as Mount Austin, stands tall in the western part of Hong Kong Island at an elevation of 554 meters and is the highest mountain on the island. It's the pinnacle of Hong Kong Island and also the prime location for viewing the scenery of Victoria Harbour, a symbol of Hong Kong. Known also as Victoria Peak or Flagstaff Mountain, it is home to the most expensive and status-indicating mansions in Hong Kong—the Peak mansions.
Whether it is the business magnate Li Ka-Shing or the Casino King of Macau, they both own mansions on the Peak. Gu Yezeng, as a wealthy Chinese tycoon, also owns a mansion on the Peak.
A silver Rolls-Royce car slowly ascended the winding road up The Peak, climbing higher and higher, until gradually through the window, one could look down upon Victoria Bay and the towering skyscrapers on both sides of the shore.
"So beautiful," Liu Jiayao exclaimed.
After playing in Hong Kong for two days and visiting all the places they wanted to go, they even took a private luxury yacht tour of Victoria arranged by Gu Yezeng, and also went to Lamma Island. The only place they hadn't seen yet was The Peak.
Because Ah Xiong told Ge Dongxu that, while Gu Yezeng's family owned many properties in Hong Kong, they preferred the mansion on The Peak and usually stayed there. Ge Dongxu and Liu Jiayao, planning to visit Gu Yezeng's home sooner or later, decided to make The Peak their last stop.
