Initially, everyone, including the hospital, thought it was just a common flu. However, several cases of infection among medical staff soon emerged, quickly drawing the attention of relevant departments. The initial number of cases grew to hundreds, with some even fatalities among severely ill patients.
As time went on, this initial flu outbreak, which had been ignored, was determined to be no ordinary flu, but a new, acute infectious disease. Furthermore, the infectious disease that had initially been detected only in City D spread to several surrounding cities.
This spate of cases, especially the deaths, quickly attracted the attention of higher authorities, who launched an investigation into the outbreak and immediately dispatched personnel to City D to guide preventive and treatment efforts. After a period of research and treatment, although several deaths occurred, the epidemic appeared to be effectively under control. The number of infections remained stable, and the spread of the disease remained stable. Officials and the public's vigilance gradually subsided.
Everyone's life has returned to its normal rhythm.
Su Yin, having experienced the horrors of 2020 and 2021 in another world, remained vigilant, preferring to kill someone by mistake rather than let them go. She not only purchased large quantities of disinfectant and medical masks, but also specifically purchased some medications proven effective against respiratory infections in the previous world. She was the first in the entertainment industry to require all her company's staff and artists to take precautions against the disease.
It's not just her staff who are held to extremely high standards. During this period, any outside personnel coming to Yuexiang Entertainment to handle various matters or participate in filming must also undergo temperature checks and special registration at the door, and are reminded to wear masks before going upstairs.
This immediately drew the attention of many to Yuexiang Entertainment's extreme sensitivity. The epidemic hadn't yet broken out, and many people thought they were exaggerating. They weren't really that worried, were they? Everything was already under control. There were only a few hundred cases nationwide. Adding so much more work and procedures, along with all the necessary epidemic prevention supplies, was a waste and a nuisance.
However, even though they thought so, considering the variety shows and resources that Yuexiang Entertainment currently has, most of the people who came to do business and participate in the filming and production had no choice but to cooperate with the work under the other party's strong request. They just gathered together and complained about Yuexiang Entertainment's weird behavior behind their backs.
Especially after hearing that these behaviors were personally ordered by Su Yin and required to be followed by all employees in the company, and that any violation would be punished immediately, many people laughed out loud. They didn't expect that they had never discovered any weaknesses in Su Yin before, but now that this infectious disease broke out, everyone knew about it. It turned out that she was so afraid of death, ridiculously so.
But about half a month later, City A's First Hospital admitted a suspected patient, resulting in a significant number of infections among its medical staff. Later reports revealed that all medical staff who had come into contact with or participated in the treatment were infected, with one doctor even dying. Tensions grew throughout City A after this incident.
At the same time, the same situation was discovered in City C.
City A and City C are both megacities similar to City D, with extremely high population densities and high mobility. Since the first case, the infection has spread to several small and medium-sized companies and a university campus, and the epidemic has finally reached its peak, with a large number of infected people! Numerous medical workers have also become infected while treating these patients! This news has shocked the nation, sending the citizens of City A and City C, and indeed the entire nation, into a state of extreme panic.
As the nation's economic and cultural center, City A is home to nearly two-thirds of the entertainment industry's companies and employees, and countless celebrities have chosen City A as their home. Since the outbreak of this disease, the terrifying infectious rate and mortality rate of this infectious disease have gradually made the entire entertainment industry begin to fear.
For a time, no one discussed Yuexiang Entertainment's exaggerated paranoia anymore. Instead, everyone began to worry about their own safety and began to follow Yuexiang Entertainment's example, minimizing staff and artists' outings, taking protective measures, and procuring masks, disinfectant, and alcohol.
Soon after, authorities held a press conference, announcing a highly contagious new respiratory infection. They urged all citizens to take preventative measures, and urged those who had been to City A or City C to exercise extreme caution and report any such cases. They also urged everyone to trust that they would do their utmost to defeat this virus, treat all patients, and restore normalcy.
This time, people in the entertainment industry began to recall that Yuexiang Entertainment seemed to have started preparations very early, perhaps even the earliest among all the companies they had heard of. Could they have heard some news? Otherwise, how could they react so quickly and make such thorough preparations?
But on second thought, that didn't make sense. The current course of this epidemic was something no one could have predicted. Even the medical authorities had recently believed it was under control and nothing serious. Yuexiang Entertainment couldn't possibly be so incompetent. If I had to find a reason, it could probably be Su Yin, the one who gave the original order. Perhaps... Su Yin of Yuexiang Entertainment really did have a terrifying sixth sense?
Considering Su Yin's past investment record and achievements since she founded Yuexiang Entertainment, many people had to reluctantly admit that this was the only possible metaphysical guess.
At this time, Su Yin was watching the latest news on TV at home. She saw medical staff risking their lives to save patients, the extremely tense atmosphere in the hospital, and the host reporting heavy and cold numbers. Su Yin once again felt as if she had returned to her original world and couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
Especially when she saw reporters risking their lives to enter hospital wards and interview the medical staff fighting on the front lines of life and death, Su Yin's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Something similar had once again overlapped in two different worlds.
This is her country and her compatriots. No matter where in the world they are or what difficulties they encounter, a completely different group of people can always make the same choice, standing up resolutely and dedicating themselves to selfless love.
At the same time, Su Yin was deeply grateful for her early purchase of large quantities of medical masks and disinfectants, as well as her decision to have the entire company take preventative measures. She also prayed that this time, the world would not experience a tragedy as tragic as the last one.
Afterward, although the epidemic remained severe, with new cases constantly being reported, it was firmly contained within three cities: City A, City C, and City D, showing no signs of further expansion. Aside from the suspension of all school classes, most people continued to go about their daily lives, though significantly fewer people were strolling the streets. Many people also began wearing masks, and disinfectant became an extremely popular item.
With the support and guarantee from the whole country, these materials can still be put into use even if they are consumed rapidly.
Su Yin issued the strictest orders to everyone in the company: all business trips were halted, artists were required to remain within the company, and staff were prohibited from leaving the city. All staff who needed to come to work were required to wear masks, have their temperatures taken daily upon entry and exit, and report their movements. The vast majority of departments were allowed to work from home.
The variety show that was currently being filmed also fell into an awkward suspension period.
In reality, the scope of this epidemic isn't large compared to the vast populations of several cities. Even if the mortality rate is somewhat high, the contagion rate isn't as high as previously thought. Many people are still clinging to a sense of luck. Such a popular variety show, with its unpredictable weekly advertising revenue, viewership, click-through rate, and buzz, is unpredictable.
In fact, as long as you pay a little attention, you can start shooting.
After all, most companies are operating as usual, and there is no reason for variety shows to stop production.
After hearing Su Yin's decision to suspend variety show filming, many people contacted her hoping to persuade her to resume filming. Ultimately, after the initial panic and calculating the probability of contracting the disease, many people couldn't resist the temptation of money.
Anyway, the artists assigned are the ones below, not me. It's the same for you, Su Yin. Just send the crew to film. Why stop work?
But Su Yin made the decision to suspend the filming. She didn't want to gamble with the lives of all the staff and artists on this matter. Money can be earned in the future, so there is no need to gamble.
Therefore, even though many advertisers, large companies and even platforms put pressure on her, Su Yin withstood the pressure.
If this had been an internal shoot for her own company's artists, she could have managed the situation, forcing everyone to stay together and not go out. But half of the guests invited to this variety show were from outside, and who knew where they had been or what they had done. Her orders made it difficult to control artists from other companies, and it was even more impossible for them to keep them for her.
So, just stop working!
During the video conference, facing everyone's requests and questions, Su Yin simply reassuredly stated that as long as the epidemic could be brought under control, she would immediately consider resuming filming. Meanwhile, those entering the hospital or leaving the city should not visit Yuexiang Entertainment. Any inquiries should be made by phone or email. Otherwise, you won't be able to enter.
Others really couldn't do anything about her. Su Yin wouldn't take any hard or soft tactics. Her production team only listened to her, and if she said she wouldn't start filming, no one could get the variety show off.
Although some people want to use this time to launch similar programs to replace her, it is difficult to do so. At this critical moment, if Yichun is in trouble and wants to re-establish a production team, it is not easy to find guests.
What if I offend Su Yin... the show won't get off the ground, so forget it, I'll just wait for her to return to work.
Here, Su Yin asked everyone in the company to do a good job of prevention and control. Masks, disinfectants and some commonly used non-fever medicines were all paid for by the company.
Seeing that major hospitals in cities such as City A and City C were drawing medical staff and medical supplies from across the country, Su Yin also directly donated a large number of medical masks and disinfectants, and donated money in the name of Yuexiang Entertainment Company to support the anti-epidemic campaign.
After Moonlight Boys and Mysterious Girls learned about the company's actions, they immediately donated their income and their family's thoughts to show their support.
As the first company to proactively and consciously carry out preventive work and the first to donate supplies and funds, Yuexiang Entertainment has also attracted attention from above and the outside world. Many companies have also begun to donate money and materials to help overcome the difficulties.
As a result, Yuexiang Entertainment Company received strong praise from the whole society and the official, but it also caused many people to complain about Su Yin's cunning behind her back.
After doing all these things, Su Yin stayed at home and really didn't think too much about it.
In her old world, she didn't have that much power, but in this world, she has a little more power, a little more. Whether it's helping hospitals and medical staff, or helping patients and their families, or even volunteers, as long as she can help a few people, she feels at peace with herself.
In fact, this infectious disease was more serious than everyone imagined, but it was not as bad as Su Yin had imagined.
Schools in the three cities are strictly controlling the movement of people via rail, air and other modes of transportation, and citizens are advised not to travel across provinces in the near future to prevent the further spread of the epidemic.
This is mainly because the infectious disease is mainly transmitted through short-range droplets and contact with respiratory secretions, and medical staff are the most high-risk group for infection. In addition, the incubation period of this infectious disease is short, and once infected, people can be quickly detected and sent for treatment.
But the scary thing is that the mortality rate of this infectious disease is not low, and it is a virulent virus.
People's greatest fear is death. This epidemic has almost brought many industries in these cities to a standstill, and even many small and medium-sized enterprises have gone bankrupt.
The same situation applies to many entertainment companies. Artists are unable to go out to work, and the companies have no revenue.
This has also caused many entertainment company bosses and staff to worry. No one knows when this infectious disease will be completely over. What should they do with only expenses and no income in these few months?
Yuexiang Entertainment was no exception, facing a steep drop in revenue. Their boss, Su Yin, refused to exploit any loopholes and held the company's staff and artists to the strictest epidemic prevention standards.
However, Yuexiang Entertainment was founded on the internet, and even at this point, when most entertainment companies and staff were out of work, Su Yin still managed to find work for her family. This was mainly to reassure them, and she wanted them to participate in some things, even if it was just a small contribution.
The official website is still operating normally, the video platform is still running normally, the Douyin platform is still popular, and most TV stations are still operating normally. Because many people are afraid to go out shopping, there is even a surge in daily traffic and more viewers. However, most of the content played on them is old material, and many people are no longer in the mood to watch funny and entertaining videos.
At Yuexiang Entertainment, some single teachers and staff members, or those whose families lived out of town, simply stayed at the company. Su Yin had already arranged the daily needs of both the artists' dormitories and the staff at the company. Every day, someone was responsible for purchasing daily necessities and delivering them to their homes, as per Su Yin's instructions. It was even more convenient than many other industries' labor arrangements, and they felt relieved that they didn't have to leave their homes. The company took care of everything for them.
Even teachers and other staff working from home are still working through online video, email, etc. Trainees and artists still maintain daily training, and staff still film their training routines.
Even Yuexiang Entertainment Company, which implemented stricter preventive measures than any other company, did not completely stop and show no signs of doing anything as everyone in the company had worried before.
As a result, many netizens with heavy hearts saw that Yuexiang Entertainment Company was the first to strictly implement prevention measures and donate money and materials. Even though it has locked up everyone now, it still did not forget to let the trainees and artists continue to practice and operate, and still showed a sunny, optimistic and positive side to everyone.
And a song began to spread within Yuexiang Entertainment.
This song, "Let Us Greet the Dawn with a Smile," was inspired by a full-time songwriter at Yuexiang Entertainment when the disease first broke out. Prior to this, this young songwriter, Min Heya, had already created many hits. He is a sensitive person, and his songs are often emotionally rich and highly moving. He also wrote the title song and first single from the debut album of Mysterious Girl.
In the early days, when Min Heya saw the medical staff who died and the crying families of those who died of illness in the news, she also burst into tears on the spot. She spent ten minutes to write this song and sent it to the company by email for publication.
This song describes the pain of losing those who are most unforgettable to us, the constant loss of loved ones. Love can always transcend life and death to reach the other side. Let us believe that the beautiful feelings in this world will never fade, never be forgotten. When the loved ones and emotions we have lost turn into stars and drift away from us, let us still greet the dawn with hope. Dawn will eventually come. Let us greet each dawn with clarity, accept all the sadness, loss, and pain of the night, and continue our bright and hopeful lives. Only then will others remember the beautiful stars that once passed by, and they will always bless us.
This song was so powerful that Su Yin immediately agreed to release it publicly. After obtaining Min Heya's consent, she let him record it himself first, and then all the trainees, artists, and staff in the company learned and performed the song together.
Su Yin asked the staff to send lyrics and music scores to the staff and trainees at home, and invited them to record at home using either professional equipment or simple equipment such as mobile phones and join in the performance.
Without any deliberate promotion, the song began to appear on the official website of Yuexiang Entertainment, official videos, and social media accounts. Along with the free release of the song's sheet music, lyrics, and instrumental, every member of Moonlight Boys and Mysterious Girls, as well as all Yuexiang Entertainment trainees and staff, also participated in the performance.
They are all sending blessings and comfort to those who have been hurt and suffering from this sudden infectious disease.
More and more people heard this song amidst their sorrow, and many cried after listening to the entire song, finding solace, support, and strength in their hearts. Many more spread the song online, on radio, by requesting it, recommending it, or even singing it themselves, making it spread rapidly.
When a national TV host mentioned the song on a television program, "We Greet the Dawn with a Smile" took the country by storm, becoming the most influential song during the pandemic. A video clip featuring all of Yuexiang Entertainment's artists, trainees, and staff for the song also became the most viewed video online that month.
Don't give up hope, don't be defeated by pain and sadness, love can always overcome sadness and bring hope.
On this day, Su Yin received bad news from the company at home.
The elder sister of Chen Yang, her subordinate, has been diagnosed with the disease and has been sent to the First Hospital of City A for treatment. Chen Yang has also been isolated for observation.
Su Yin was the first to learn about the situation from someone in the know. It turned out that Chen Yang's elder sister had opened a pharmacy herself. After the outbreak of the infectious disease, she had considered closing the store, but in order to ensure that nearby residents could buy medicines conveniently, she gritted her teeth and insisted on operating the store, and also took relatively effective epidemic prevention measures.
But not long ago, a resident developed fever and cough symptoms and, hoping for luck, refused to go to the hospital. Instead, he went to the pharmacy and tried to buy medicine on his own. Chen Yang's sister sternly refused and immediately asked him to go to the hospital for a checkup. It seems he was infected through contact and interaction with the patient.
Chen Yang, who went to deliver food to his sister, was also quarantined and is currently awaiting further observation.
Su Yin was also a little confused when she heard the news. Chen Yang had applied to go home to help take care of things because his sister opened a pharmacy and his parents were at home. She had never expected... something like this would happen.
When Su Yin thought of Chen Yang's past image, the young man who had grown from an ignorant boy at the beginning to a mature, steady man who could handle all the work well, she felt as if something was pressing heavily on her chest, making her feel extremely heavy.
The news that people close to her were quarantined for observation made her feel once again that she had really come to another world, and this world was also full of living lives. Many of these lives had even begun to connect with her without her knowing, and there were even close connections that she herself was not aware of.
If we say that her first and most determined goal when she came to this world was to create the best and highest quality idols, to create a brilliant and powerful idol kingdom, and to realize her own dreams in this world.
This also made her think only about work and this one goal in the first few years, and she seemed to have lost many emotions.
Although Su Yin would feel a little lonely when she was free occasionally, as she had no relatives or friends in this world, it was because she had built a thick wall for herself in her heart and was unwilling to let many people touch it.
Even if this is a real world, I just want to fulfill my dreams and achieve my career here. This also makes Su Yin seem a little cold most of the time, and it is difficult to see so many emotional fluctuations.
She was somewhat detached from the many feelings shown to her, whether friendship, love or admiration, and did not think or feel too much, choosing to ignore them and devote herself to her career.
But the news she learned today suddenly made her feel a little sad.
Life only happens once, and being able to live it again is already incredibly lucky. Especially in this situation, the fragility of human life has caused Su Yin to reflect on herself. This time, she must not only fulfill her dreams and leave something behind, but also let go of her attachments, truly see herself as a person in this world, openly accepting and truly experiencing everything in it.
After calming herself down, Su Yin asked someone to deliver a message to Chen Yang, who was under quarantine.
Su Yin didn't offer much consolation. She knew no amount of comfort would be of any use at this point, so she simply offered a few words of comfort, telling him not to worry about his parents and that she and the company would do their utmost to help him with anything he needed. For the next few months, everyone in the company, whether on duty or not, would receive their regular paychecks, along with the necessary epidemic prevention and control kits. Chen Yang should just rest assured that he would be under observation, and that good news would surely follow.
Chen Yang listened to the message from the messenger that Su Yin told him not to worry about his parents at home, and if he needed any help, he should not be embarrassed to ask, and she would help him no matter what. Everyone was thinking about him, and she believed that he would be fine.
Although it was just a few simple words and she didn't say it herself, Chen Yang could fully sense the firmness and support from Su Yin's words.
He naturally understood that Su Yin was not being polite when she said this, but was sincere from the bottom of her heart.
When one reaches Su Yin's level, what he can do is naturally different from that of ordinary people. What if his sister or his parents really have some problems, or even if he... is unable to do so, then maybe he will need her help.
At this moment, Chen Yang's heart was filled with indescribable gratitude towards Su Yin. He said to himself in his heart: If I can get out safely and return to my job, I will follow you to the death in this life!
Su Yin's promise not only brought a burst of warmth to Chen Yang's heart, but also gave him confidence and support in his heart which had been extremely worried and frightened for the past two days.
It will be fine! He was so lucky that he stumbled into the best company in the entertainment industry shortly after graduation. He also met such a group of great leaders, colleagues and companions. He and his sister will definitely be able to get through this difficult time!
After hanging up, Su Yin called the company's finance and logistics departments. Some of them were working from home, while others were still at their posts. Su Yin first expressed her condolences to them and reminded them to remain vigilant and take precautions for themselves and their families.
At the same time, she reminded them again that during this period of the epidemic, everyone, including those working from home, will continue to receive their wages and continue to receive additional subsidies for their positions. Everyone must distribute epidemic prevention supplies and ensure timely contact and information reporting every day. Everyone's life and health are her top priority, so please be careful and stay healthy.
If any employees, trainees or their families are infected, they must report it to her in a timely manner and pay the corresponding condolence money from her account. Find out if their families need help, be sure to convey the company's intentions and provide substantial help.
After receiving Su Yin's call, the staff members naturally took notes. Someone on the other end of the line seemed to sense that Su Yin was a little different from before, but they couldn't put their finger on it. At the same time, they felt that there had been no change, perhaps because of the bad news, which inevitably affected people's moods.
The boss is still the boss, always their backbone and pillar. Hurry and do your job well according to her instructions.
But, I am so lucky that we can work in Yuexiang Entertainment.
This is a company that truly has conscience, love, warmth and pursuit. At this moment, after receiving these new news from the human resources department of the company and receiving such care and arrangements from Su Yin, everyone feels that it is really the right choice to stay in Yuexiang Entertainment Company!
The author has something to say: Note: Due to lack of understanding of medicine, the relevant concepts of this infectious disease borrowed the descriptions and events of atypical pneumonia.
This isn't a post to capitalize on the hype, it's a post I've written out of inspiration.
