Chapter 212 Thunder Point Explosion
"Have you checked all your luggage? Did you forget anything?"
Hu Xuan looked at Xie Qingyu who got on the bus with only a backpack on her back and asked another question.
Xie Qingyu shook his head slightly.
He was not a careless person, and since it was just a short trip, there was really no need to pack so much.
After receiving a positive answer, Hu Xuan signaled the driver to set off for the airport. It is better to leave one day in advance than to be in a hurry tomorrow and delay the subsequent trip.
"I watched the game today and it was an excellent performance."
Seeing that Xie Qingyu had no intention of catching up on his sleep, Hu Xuan took the initiative to open up the conversation, "The archery finals this afternoon were so handsome that I couldn't take my eyes off them."
As for children, no matter how mature they are mentally, they definitely like to be praised. From this perspective, there will definitely be nothing wrong.
Afternoon game?
Xie Qingyu smiled and said, "Everyone actually performed exceptionally well. I only won by a narrow margin."
This is by no means a humble statement.
In stark contrast to the crushing performance in the morning's preliminary round, the contestants in the final seemed to have suddenly broken free from their restraints, with each performance being outstanding.
Especially in the championship battle with Yan Zhiyou, the two of them took turns shooting ten rings in a wonderful duel. The score difference was so close that the onlookers couldn't help but sweat for them.
The tension of the final victory, which was only one ring difference, directly caused the popularity of the live broadcast room, which had been stable, to soar again.
After all, this kind of adrenaline-pumping peak showdown can always ignite the enthusiasm of the audience.
Xie Qingyu chatted with Hu Xuan for a few more words, then lowered his head to open his phone to check the messages.
At this moment, Dafeng, the personal male assistant specially assigned to him by the company, suddenly exclaimed: "Sister Hu, Qingyu, look at the big eye trending search!"
Xie Qingyu happened to be logged in with a secondary account and directly clicked on the hot search list.
I saw a bright red word "explosion" following the entry #Xie Qingyu's latest itinerary exposed#.
When they clicked on it, they saw that all of their flight information, even the specific room numbers of the hotels where they landed, were fully exposed.
At this moment, many fans who heard the news had gathered at the airport, and there were even more private fans and photographers mixed in.
Although the official fan club responded quickly and issued a statement to boycott this infringement, it had little effect.
Hu Xuan only glanced at the screen and immediately asked the driver to change the route and head straight to Hu City.
Fortunately, they set off early and had plenty of time, otherwise, the sudden change of itinerary would have caused a lot of trouble.
"Shouldn't the airline be held responsible for this? This is so unprofessional!"
Assistant Yuanyuan complained indignantly, and the other team members also looked annoyed.
They were very close to the airport. If they hadn't been discovered by the strong wind in time, they would have been surrounded by the swarms of fans and paparazzi, and even forced to board the flight full of prying eyes.
Just imagining that scene gives me chills.
Xie Qingyu's eyes swept across Hu Xuan who was typing quickly on her mobile phone, and she immediately realized that this was probably not the airline's fault.
Judging from the format of the exposed itinerary, it seems more like information leaked from the brand.
Artists participating in commercial activities have always been required to report their itineraries to the organizers. This is an industry practice.
It seems... this trip to the Lake City show might not go very smoothly.
If what he expected was true, the high-end brand Ruenne's style of operation would be too low-end.
Velléa, an international brand that is also assessing popularity, will make thorough arrangements in advance so as not to harm the rights of the artists or disturb ordinary passers-by.
In comparison, the second company's methods are too hasty and quick to profit.
“Change this hotel immediately.”
Hu Xuan re-marked the location on the map and confirmed the route with the driver.
The hotel arranged by the organizer is now an unknown minefield, and she is too lazy to check it out - the accommodation fee is not a big deal anyway, so she can just change it if necessary.
The schedule for the Lake City Show is set.
Even if this is clearly the brand's fault, the temporary cancellation will instead direct public opinion towards Xie Qingyu.
The fashion circle has always viewed celebrities with tinted glasses. If they are labeled as "big shots", those passers-by who like to watch the fun and enjoy the trouble will be most keen to spread the news.
It doesn’t matter what the truth is in this kind of negative news, and it doesn’t matter who the victim is. For most people, it is just a topic of conversation after dinner. No one often cares about the clarification afterwards, but once a label is attached, it is difficult to tear it off.
"What does the brand say?" Xie Qingyu went straight to the point.
At this moment, his impression of this brand has hit rock bottom, but since he has to go, he has to find out the other party's attitude before dealing with it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the car fell silent. Everyone kept quiet and handed the initiative to the two decision makers.
"It was said that the trip was secretly filmed due to the negligence of the staff..."
Before Hu Xuan finished speaking, she saw Xie Qingyu pursed her lips. It was obvious that she was not satisfied with the answer, and there was a flash of displeasure in her eyes.
This excuse was so perfunctory that it seemed unnecessary to continue retelling it.
It was obvious that she was sure that he would not dare to break the appointment at the last minute, and she was too lazy to even put on an act. Her arrogance was chilling.
If the leaked schedule the day before only allowed people to see the true colors of this brand, then the chaotic scene at today's show completely tore apart the last bit of dignity.
The organizers were too lazy to even maintain a superficial appearance, and for the sake of popularity they turned the scene into a farce like "Zombie Rising".
The weak security was useless. As soon as their car arrived, it was surrounded by a group of fanatical fans, who didn't even dare to open the door.
To say that they are only targeting Xie Qingyu is not true.
Looking around, fans of various artists who came to watch the show were mixed together. It was obvious that they were all lured by the vague information deliberately released by the organizers.
The unorganized fan groups rushed around like headless flies, just to catch a glimpse of their idols.
“Click.”
Hu Xuan hung up the phone and turned to look at Xie Qingyu, who was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed and his arms folded, not saying a word.
She thought that she had been able to get a general idea of his temperament after spending some time with him. At this moment, his tense jawline and slightly trembling eyelashes all showed his anger.
Xie Qingyu cherishes his fans very much. The organizers' excessive consumption of fans' enthusiasm is simply a precise explosion in his minefield.
"This background check was indeed my negligence."
She rubbed her temples, her voice filled with fatigue.
There was a personnel shakeup at Ruenne’s top management recently, and the news was kept secret.
Not only was she fooled, but to put it in an exaggerated way, half of the teams in the entertainment industry were caught off guard.
The new person in office is probably from a marketing background. Damn, with his behavior and style, he will cause big trouble sooner or later.
Xie Qingyu suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand to loosen his tie, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down with his deep breaths: "What does this have to do with you?"
After that, he took off his tie and put it aside, "Let's go after the show."
The tone was eerily calm.
After all, this matter had little to do with Hu Xuan, so he wouldn't be so tasteless as to vent his anger on her.
The fact that it can fool so many industry experts at the same time shows the reputation this brand has accumulated in the past.
Now that things are so chaotic, there must be something else behind it.
Hu Xuan nodded slightly. Noticing that the air in the carriage was so stagnant that it was almost freezing, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Our great star Xie has an aura of 2.8 meters now. Look how scared he is of those people, they are almost shrinking into quails."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes glanced meaningfully at his assistants Yuanyuan and Dafeng who were sitting upright in the back row.
On weekdays, Xie Qingyu is the easiest person to talk to.
He has never been seen getting angry or scolding anyone, and he is very considerate to the staff, always consistent in front of and behind the camera.
In the team's mind, he is more like a little brother next door who needs care, and everyone never needs to be shy about what they say or do.
But the low pressure just now made everyone breathe more slowly unconsciously, as if they were shrouded by some invisible pressure.
Seeing Hu Xuan taking the initiative to break the silence, Xie Qingyu raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and a faint smile spread across his amber pupils:
"Why, are you afraid of me?"
Several heads nodded in unison, then shook their heads again as if they were thinking of something, as if they were afraid that Xie Qingyu would silence them.
This funny scene finally made Xie Qingyu laugh out loud: "I'm not a god, can't I have a little emotion?"
That being said, however...
Dafeng, who was pushed out by his companions as a representative, scratched the back of his head and suddenly had an idea: "At that moment, it was especially like that one in the costume drama-"
He gestured with his hands, "It's about that young emperor who reigns over the world before he's even twenty! Qingyu, you really should take on a role like that. Just imagining that scene gives me goosebumps!"
The others immediately nodded their heads like crazy, endorsing the motion frantically.
The awe-inspiring demeanor I just glimpsed was very creepy. Isn't it the appearance of an emperor?
It sounded so mysterious that even Hu Xuan held her chin in her hand as she considered the proposal seriously. However, Xie Qingyu just smiled and shook her head, her fingertips casually fiddling with the jade bracelet on her wrist.
"Alright, if you keep praising me, I'll be praised to the sky."
He glanced up and saw the passage opening. After straightening his clothes, he said, "Come in first."
Several people looked at each other, with some grievance hidden in their eyes. Is it true that no one believes even the sincere words from the heart these days?
Due to the enthusiastic crowd of fans outside the venue, the lights on the T-stage suddenly lit up shortly after Xie Qingyu took her seat.
To be fair, the brand treated Xie Qingyu quite well: a front-row seat in the middle of the show, a tailor-made haute couture dress, and even the assistant's seat was arranged with the best viewing angle.
But Xie Qingyu didn't buy it. No matter how attentive the hospitality was, it couldn't cover up the many flaws of this brand.
At first he maintained a polite smile until the finale series came out and the chief designer talked about the "cultural inspiration from the Land of Sakura" under the spotlight.
There was no smile on Xie Qingyu's face at all. Not only that, looking around, many other artists also had subtle expressions.
The cloud embroidery flowing between the sleeves and the lifelike phoenix totem around the waist are clearly cultural treasures stolen from the 5,000-year-old civilization of the Flower-Growing Country.
Such blatant cultural plagiarism and transplantation simply rubbed the IQ of everyone present into the ground.
When the applause rang out, Xie Qingyu folded his hands on his knees, motionless.
Damn it! They hold a big show in a flower-growing country and still dare to do this. Their shamelessness is beyond words.
This kind of blasphemy against national culture does not deserve any courtesy at all.
Xie Qingyu now felt extremely unlucky and didn't even bother to give a glance.
It wasn't just Xie Qingyu. Although there was thunderous applause at the scene, there were also many tough artists who chose to remain silent like him.
Xie Qingyu drooped his eyelashes slightly and suppressed his surging anger. This brand had stepped on his big landmine.
Only those who have experienced it know how disgusting it is to be fed flies in public. No matter what, he would never cooperate with such a brand.
Because some bottom lines are the character that is steeped in the blood, which cannot be bought with money and cannot be broken by a thousand pounds!
