"However... as his assistant, there are some situations I have to consider more thoroughly."
"Yue Heng's current status is special; he is not only a public figure but also a soldier. The situation in Taiwan Province... I'm sure you're aware of it, Mr. Zhou. The customs, traditions, and public opinion environment are very different from those on the mainland."
After listening to Wang Yueheng's story, Mo Zixue pondered for a moment and then became serious.
“I am worried that if Yue Heng goes there as a soldier, some media outlets or individuals with ulterior motives might use it to their advantage, causing unnecessary controversy and trouble. This could have an impact on Yue Heng personally, and even on…”
"Therefore, we must be well prepared for this."
She didn't spell it out explicitly, but everyone present understood what she meant.
Upon hearing this, Jay Chou abandoned his previous casualness and his expression became serious.
This girl is indeed very thoughtful.
Jay Chou then nodded: "This is indeed a very important question. I can assure you that I will make thorough preparations and security measures for my concerts and events, and I will absolutely not allow Yue Heng to be treated unfairly or get involved in any unnecessary trouble. We will strictly control all promotional activities to ensure that the focus is on the film and music itself."
He looked at Wang Yueheng and said sincerely, "Yueheng, I invited you because I genuinely admire your talent and hope that our work can be seen and enjoyed by more people. I will absolutely not let any factors outside of music and film affect this collaboration."
Wang Yueheng felt Zhou Dong's sincerity and understood that Mo Zixue's concerns stemmed from a desire to protect herself.
He took Mo Zixue's hand, squeezed it gently to reassure her, and then said to Jay Chou, "Jay Chou, I believe in you. Art knows no boundaries, and music and film are bridges of communication. I'm willing to go, so that fans in Taiwan can hear a new voice from the mainland. As for the rest, I believe the innocent will clear themselves, and I also believe in Jay Chou's arrangements."
Upon hearing Wang Yueheng's words, the admiration in Zhou Dong's eyes deepened.
Seeing Wang Yueheng's firm attitude and Zhou Dong's assurance, Mo Zixue felt a little relieved.
She took a deep breath and smiled, "Since you've all thought it through, I support Yue Heng's decision."
"I will immediately begin preparing the relevant itinerary and contingency plans to ensure that this trip to the Bay Area is a complete success."
The meeting at the coffee shop ended.
Jay Chou, satisfied, put his "celebrity three-piece suit" back on and was picked up by his assistant to continue his trip in Kyoto.
After seeing Jay Chou off, Mo Zixue's relaxed expression faded slightly. She immediately took out her phone, walked to a quiet spot, and dialed a number.
On the other end of the phone was Director Chen, the leader of the department in charge of coordinating such cultural exchange affairs.
"Director Chen, hello, I am Mo Zixue."
Mo Zixue spoke respectfully and clearly, “I have a report to you. Wang Yueheng has just received an invitation from Jay Chou to attend the premiere of his new movie ‘Secret’ in Taiwan and to be a special guest at his concert at the Taipei Arena.”
She gave a detailed account of the meeting and the promises made by Jay Chou's side.
"Yes, we've been paying attention to this matter before."
"Mr. Zhou has always maintained a positive and friendly attitude in promoting cross-strait cultural exchanges. We strongly support Wang Yueheng's participation in cultural exchanges between young people from both sides of the strait through music and film, as an active-duty soldier."
Director Chen listened attentively on the other end of the phone, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a steady and powerful voice.
"However, there are a few red lines you must keep in mind. First, the exchange activities must focus on culture and art itself. Second, they must not involve politically sensitive topics. You must pay attention to your own image and safety to avoid being used by people with ulterior motives. I will have my subordinates compile a document with specific precautions and guidelines for conversations and send it to you. Do your homework in advance so that you are well-informed and prepared."
He paused, then gave a serious warning.
