"Are you threatening me?" Wang Qian narrowed his eyes.

Bai Yongqing's expression froze.

His eyes flickered for a moment, then he gave a stiff laugh. "You've misunderstood. I was just trying to give you a friendly reminder. If you don't listen, that's fine with me!"

After saying that, he waved and left with his three colleagues.

Wang Qian did not press the matter further.

After all, the other party was only making a verbal threat, and in such a subtle way, that even if he wanted to report the other party, such a threat could not be taken as any evidence.

As for what the other party will do next, we can only wait until things happen before we can find out the right course of action.

However, his only regret was that after all that work, all he got was the rescission of the punishment and a formal apology from Bai Yongqing and the others.

It seems Bai Yongqing has powerful connections!

"I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you!"

Just as he was deep in thought, a faint sound suddenly came from ahead.

Wang Qian subconsciously looked up, and when he saw the person speaking, he was somewhat taken aback.

The person who apologized to him was actually one of the three staff members from the Industry and Commerce Bureau who came with Bai Yongqing.

This person looked quite young, only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a fairly handsome appearance and clear eyes.

Especially when apologizing, his face was filled with shame.

But he seemed afraid that Bai Yongqing and the others would hear him, so he spoke very softly, and only Wang Qian and Lin Chao heard him.

"I'm leaving, goodbye!"

Before Wang Qian could reply, he quickly left.

Wang Qian and Lin Chao stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Brother-in-law, what's going on?"

Lin Chao asked in surprise only after those people drove away.

Not far away, Yang Shenglong muttered, "Xiao Qian, this person seems to genuinely want to apologize to you!"

Immediately afterward, Lin Xiaoyu's voice came from behind, "Aren't they in cahoots? But he seems a little different from Bai Yongqing and the others!"

Zhou Yuanyuan, who followed Lin Xiaoyu in through the back door, also said, "Brother Long is right. Judging from his tone and expression, he genuinely wants to apologize to you, boss!"

"I noticed it too!"

Wang Qian nodded in deep agreement, "This person is indeed quite interesting!"

Then, a thought struck him, and he turned to Lin Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, I'm going out to take care of something. You and Xiaochao wait for me here!"

"Where are you going?" Lin Xiaoyu asked instinctively.

"I'm going to find someone to ask about some things!"

Wang Qian said vaguely, "If we want to completely eliminate the threat we face, we must teach Bai Yongqing and his gang a lesson they deserve!"

"Well... okay!"

Lin Xiaoyu was quite curious, but Wang Qian was unwilling to say, so she suppressed her curiosity and didn't press him. She simply instructed him with concern, "No matter who you're going to see, be careful!"

"Yes, I will!"

Wang Qian reached out and stroked Lin Xiaoyu's face before turning and leaving.

...

Pearl Hotel.

Three-story suite.

"Miss Wu, this is wonderful news!"

Just as Wu Yanping was sitting by the window in a daze, an excited voice came in.

Wu Yanping suddenly came to her senses and subconsciously asked, "Yiyi, what's the good news?"

Your record is selling like hotcakes!

The voice appears with the person.

Wu Yanping had just looked up when she saw Zhong Yiyi, dressed in a rather strange women's denim outfit, rushing in with a face full of excitement.

"Guess how many copies of your latest album have sold so far?"

Upon approaching Wu Yanping, Zhong Yiyi spoke mysteriously.

"Yiyi, stop being so mysterious, how much is it?"

Wu Yanping seemed to be in a bad mood; she spoke weakly and listlessly, and there was little joy on her face.

Zhong Yiyi noticed it too, and her excited expression softened somewhat.

She held up one finger and said with a smile, "Ten thousand copies. By the time I got back, your latest album had already sold ten thousand copies!"

"so much?"

Despite having been mentally prepared, Wu Yanping was still shocked when she heard the number.

You should know that her latest album only went on sale this morning.

In just a few hours, so many have been sold.

That's absolutely outrageous!

It's worth noting that her best-selling album was "Destined to Meet but Not to Be Together" two years ago, but even now, it's only sold less than 100,000 copies.

Moreover, that's the total sales volume nationwide.

Her newly released album is currently only available within Nanming County.

It's easy to imagine how popular her new album is.

"How about that? Now you know how popular your album is, right?"

Zhong Yiyi said at the right moment, "Following this trend, with this new song, you should be able to break into the ranks of top-tier singers nationwide."

"A top-tier singer?"

Wu Yanping covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "It can't be that exaggerated, can it?"

Although she is a singer and an actress, she is ultimately only a regional star.

If we consider a national scale, her fame would be somewhat low.

Especially compared to those top-tier singers or actors, she's simply not up to par.

You need to have confidence in yourself!

Zhong Yiyi said earnestly, "You also need to have faith in me. As long as you're willing to believe in me, with the popularity of your new song, I can make you a huge star!"

"So what are you planning to do?" Wu Yanping asked.

"First, I need to talk to the media about this and get them to promote your record sales." Zhong Yiyi was eager to try.
