Qian Xiumei stole a few glances at Li Yi, thinking to herself, "Boss Lang has money and manpower. Not to mention Boss Lin, even I, a woman in my early thirties, am completely powerless against him."
However, Qian Xiumei tried her best to suppress her emotions, but she still seemed unnatural.
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, especially Qian Xiumei's reaction as a woman herself, Lin Wanqing felt very happy, realizing that she had found the right person.
Lin Wanqing's affection for Li Yi increased once again.

Hearing the system notification, Li Yi was delighted. The money hadn't been wasted, and he could even get an extra 500 million in cashback.
Lin Wanqing snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Wu Lei, the head of the public relations department, and instructed, "Minister Wu, following Boss Lang's suggestion, immediately adjust the compensation plan to a refund of thirty times the ticket price, plus ten movie tickets for any movie within one year, to ensure that every affected viewer can feel our sincerity."
Wu Lei was stunned!
Does this mean Mr. Lin has essentially increased the compensation tenfold?
But thinking about it, Mr. Lin just received 1 billion, so this amount of money is nothing.
Moreover, movie theaters are not always packed. The ten free movie tickets for any movie within a year may seem like an extra 100 million yuan, but in reality, the seats are empty anyway, and increasing the audience will not increase the cost of Star Shine Cinemas.
Therefore, these movie tickets are essentially free.
Lin Wanqing offered an explanation.
Li Yi looked at Lin Wanqing, surprised that she actually had some business acumen.
Upon hearing this, Wu Lei nodded immediately and said, "Yes, President Lin! I'll arrange it right away. Such compensation will definitely restore our reputation and attract more viewers to become our loyal customers!"
Qian Xiumei, the head of the General Affairs Department, chimed in, "Yes, President Lin, this move is brilliant! President Lang is truly our lucky star. With his support, the future of Xinghui Cinema is limitless!"
Lin Wanqing smiled and looked at Li Yi, saying, "Li Yi, thank you. You always give me the best advice at crucial moments."
Li Yi: "Wanqing, you're too kind. Let's issue the statement first, and then refund the pre-sale tickets."
After agreeing on a strategy, everyone immediately sprang into action.
The public relations department quickly released a statement that was simple and clear: all Star Cinemas nationwide would not be showing "Tianmen Long Blade".
Then, they announced a compensation plan for the pre-sale tickets: thirty times the amount as compensation plus ten movie tickets for any movie within one year.
Finally, I'd like to say thank you all for your support of Star Shine Cinema!
The announcement was widely disseminated through major media platforms.
This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing a huge uproar online.
Netizens who were initially full of complaints about Star Shine Cinema changed their attitudes after seeing such generous compensation.
Many people began sharing the message, praising Star Shine Cinema's sincerity and generosity.
"Star Shine is amazing! Star Shine is awesome! I bought two movie tickets for a total of 50 yuan, and now I can get 1,500 yuan in compensation and 10 movie tickets. It's such a great deal! I only regret that I didn't buy more!"
"Wow, Xinghui Cinema's move is amazing! Thirty times the ticket price refund, plus ten free movie tickets, they've hit the jackpot!"
"I used to say I'd boycott Star Shine Cinemas, but now I realize I was wrong. Who wouldn't be tempted by this kind of compensation?"
"Star Shine Cinema is truly generous! Compared to them, those who spread rumors and cause trouble seem insignificant. Support Star Shine, support good movies!"
Such generous compensation instantly reversed the negative online sentiment!
Star Shine Cinema's reputation has grown even more online.
at this time.
Director Liu Zhengqi is personally instructing a beautiful new actress on how to perform a bed scene.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Qi Hui calling. He cursed, "You clueless idiot, get out of here!"
"Come on, let me continue telling you..."
Liu Zhengqi prepared to have an in-depth conversation with this actress.
However, a short while later, Qi Hui called again, which infuriated Director Liu.
After answering the call, before Qi Hui could even speak, he immediately yelled, "Qi Hui, what are you trying to do? Don't you know I'm busy filming?"
Qi Hui said anxiously on the other end of the phone, "Director Liu, something terrible has happened! Xinghui Cinema not only wasn't crushed by our public opinion, but instead took advantage of the situation to offer a super generous compensation!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengqi lost his initial bravado and immediately backed down, asking, "What?! How did they compensate us?"
"Thirty times the compensation plus ten movie tickets for any movie within a year. That adds up to 400 million!" Qi Hui said.
"Four hundred million? Hahaha!! Isn't that perfect? They must have been forced to compensate us so much because of our media offensive, right?" Liu Zhengqi felt much happier upon hearing this.
Qi Hui: "That's definitely the case. However, the online opinion of Star Shine Cinema has completely reversed now. Everyone is praising them for being generous and sincere, and they all say they are die-hard fans of Star Shine Cinema!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengqi flew into a rage: "A bunch of lowly commoners who only know how to offer small favors! They forget about the refund as soon as they get a little something in return. It's truly shameful."
Liu Zhengqi angrily slammed his phone down, startling the new actress beside him, who trembled and dared not make a sound.
Liu Zhengqi wanted to continue his in-depth conversation with the actress, but he wasn't in the mood right now!
A few minutes later, Qi Hui called again.
Although the phone fell to the ground, it wasn't broken yet; the ringtone was still going off.
Liu Zhengqi had no choice but to pick up his phone and ask, "What is it now?"
Qi Hui: "Director Liu, something terrible has happened. I used my influence at Xinghui Cinema to privately check with friends at other cinemas. After seeing that Xinghui Cinema wasn't showing 'Tianmen Long Blade,' other major cinemas are not optimistic about the film and have all reduced the number of screenings."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengqi's face instantly turned ashen: "What did you say? Other cinemas don't have high hopes for 'Tianmen Long Blade' either? How is that possible! This is a major IP that I've invested heavily in!"
Qi Hui anxiously explained on the other end of the phone, "Director Liu, it's true. My friends told me that because of Xinghui Cinema's actions, everyone is now taking a wait-and-see approach to 'Tianmen Long Blade' and is hesitant to invest too many resources. After all, Xinghui Cinema is a big player in the industry, and their decisions often influence the direction of the entire industry."
Liu Zheng gritted his teeth in anger: "That Xinghui Cinema, they're infuriating!! They're trying to use our film to promote themselves and increase their fame! It's shameful!"
Qi Hui said helplessly, "Director Liu, we still need to think of a way to salvage this film's situation. What if major cinemas stop showing it, and audiences can't see it even if they want to?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengqi frowned deeply. He never expected that Xinghui Cinema's decision not to screen "Tianmen Long Blade" would cause such a huge chain reaction.
