"You think you can become the next Movie Emperor Qin?" Qin Shi'an glanced at Jian Ze, his disdain undisguised.
Qin Sheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that the "Actor Qin" Jian Ze had mentioned earlier was her third brother, and her expression became even more indifferent.
She took out her phone and said casually, "Actually, it's still worth trying."
The three of them looked at her at the same time and saw the girl's slender, fair fingertips rapidly tapping on the phone screen.
Three minutes later.
"Alright." Qin Sheng put her phone back in her pocket and nodded at Jian Ze. "You're famous now, congratulations."
Just a few seconds after Qin Sheng finished speaking, a "ding-dong" notification sound rang out, followed by another, and then another, until they all rang out in succession.
A bad feeling washed over Jian Ze, and he almost trembled as he took out his phone.
Follow the prompts to access Weibo's private message interface.
[My God, Tianheng Entertainment is such a company! I'd heard there were a lot of shady dealings in the entertainment industry, with some companies making money entirely from newcomers' breach of contract fees. I never imagined Tianheng would be such a heartless company! I feel so sorry for my brother signing with such a company!]
[My heart aches for my brother! Brother, you need to terminate your contract with that trash Tianheng as soon as possible! Our Daze fan club will raise funds for the termination fee!]
[The CEO of Tianheng is no good person for doing something like this. By the same token, the daughter born to such a scumbag is no good either. Brother, wake up! Break up with that mean-spirited woman, Chi Zishan, right now!]
[...]
As Jian Ze read through the private messages, his expression grew increasingly grim. Just as he was about to exit the private message interface to see what was going on, another series of private messages came in.
Jian Ze, I'm so disappointed in you.
As a fan of Ze for ten years, when I saw you publicly support Tianheng Entertainment, my first thought was, "As expected of my idol for ten years, it was all worth it!" But I never expected... "Brother, this is the last time I'll call you brother. From now on, we'll be strangers, and may we both live well."
[You bunch of scoundrels, you should just fight like dogs! I really feel sorry for Miss Xu Xiao!]
[You can just throw away a ten-year relationship like that, and use it like it's nothing, and then say, "This is the best result I could get for you"? Jian Ze, you disgust me!]
[You trashy scumbag, why don't you just die?!]
[...]
The insults kept increasing, escalating from him personally to his relatives, friends, and ancestors for eighteen generations. Jian Ze's expression was beyond just looking unpleasant.
His fingers trembled; he didn't even have the courage to open the Weibo trending topics.
"What exactly did you do?!" Jian Ze suddenly looked up at Qin Sheng and questioned her angrily.
Qin Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly: "As you wish."
Jian Ze's chest heaved violently. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and finally reached out to open the Weibo trending topics page. He immediately saw several trending topics whose popularity was soaring.
Jian Ze's character has been ruined.
Tianheng Entertainment deceives newcomers
[Jian Zetian Heng Entertainment: Dog Fighting]
Jian Ze tapped the first item with trembling fingertips.
At the top is his Weibo post, several screenshots of transaction records, and a statement: "I've endured this for a long time, but I can't take it anymore. @Tianheng Entertainment is profiting from breach of contract fees for newcomers. Here is the evidence. I just hope that all newcomers who want to enter the entertainment industry will no longer be deceived."
In just a few minutes, the number of comments under the Weibo post exceeded two thousand, and it is still increasing rapidly.
Jian Ze was truly panicked.
He quickly switched back to his Weibo page and frantically tried to delete the post, but no matter how many times he tried, it was no use!
The delete key is malfunctioning; it doesn't respond no matter how many times I press it!
Jian Ze had only two words left in his mind: It's over!
He's finished!
Just then, a cell phone rang. Jian Ze answered it numbly and heard a sharp female voice.
It was Chi Zishan's voice.
"Jian Ze, what exactly happened? What kind of nonsense did you post on Weibo? And why did the company's official Weibo account suddenly post something like that that can't even be taken down from the trending topics? All I asked you to do was ask Xu Xiao to clarify what happened last time. Who did you offend?!"
Jian Ze hadn't seen the last two trending topics yet, but based on the content of the private messages and Chi Zishan's words, he could guess that Tianheng's official Weibo account must have encountered the same situation as his.
As for who he offended...
Jian Ze looked up and saw a girl not far away, her legs bent and leaning against the cabinet next to the hospital bed, with Qin Shi'an's handsome figure beside her.
A bitter look appeared on his face, and his voice was hoarse: "It's the Qin family, the Qin family, the most powerful family in Ancheng."
"The girl under Xu Xiao's command... is the daughter of the Qin family."
The sound on the other end stopped abruptly, and Chi Zishan tightened her grip on the phone: "How...how could this be?"
Jian Ze was too weak to speak.
He ignored the clattering sounds that suddenly came from Chi Zishan's end, put his phone back in his pocket, and looked up at Qin Sheng: "What do I have to do for you to let me go?"
Qin Sheng nodded her chin at Xu Xiao.
He didn't say anything, but his meaning was clear.
Jian Ze took a deep breath, and suddenly, he knelt heavily in front of Xu Xiao, his knees buckling: "Xu Xiao, I'm so sorry, please forgive me!"
The man's voice was deep and hoarse, finally bringing Xu Xiao back to her senses from her dazed and shocked state.
Xu Xiao's expression was extremely complicated.
I wouldn't say I was happy, nor did I feel particularly pleased; more than anything, I found it laughable.
It's really quite ridiculous.
She squeezed her fingertips to suppress the uncontrollable bitterness and discomfort rising in her heart, and said in a cold voice, "Two conditions."
"First, you and Tianheng should issue a public apology."
"Second, return Sheng Sheng's ten million and compensate her an additional forty million."
"These two Weibo posts will disappear when you finish doing these two things."
Fifty million was an amount that Xu Xiao estimated based on Tianheng's strength, within their affordability range, and it was also the most suitable number in her opinion.
When Qin Sheng signed with Tianheng, Qin Xuehua took two million yuan directly. Later, Qin Sheng gave her five times the amount as a penalty for breach of contract. Now, she wants to get back five times the amount of compensation for Qin Sheng!
Xu Xiao's expression was cold and resolute. With just one glance, Jian Ze knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
He nodded with some difficulty: "Okay."
After saying that, he took out his phone again and started making a call.
Communication wasn't difficult; the main problem was that in those short ten minutes, Tianheng not only contacted Weibo's official support but also hired some of the top hackers in China to try and delete the Weibo post and remove it from the trending topics, all to no avail.
Fifty million is indeed a lot, but if this drags on any longer, the entire Tianheng Entertainment will be finished!
Between two evils, the lesser one must be chosen, and Tianheng's CEO immediately agreed to both requests.
Within four or five minutes, Qin Sheng's phone rang.
Fifty million has been received.
She moved her fingers and deleted the Weibo post.
