“Is the script done?” Chen Yu asked as he sat on the chair.
The public relations staff showed the laptop to him and answered, “Yes, it is.”
Qin Ran was given quite a comprehensive set of information. All the public relations staff had to do was summarize it.
“Post it, then,” Chen Yu said. He wanted to settle the incident in another way, but since Film Emperor Qin had moved, he might as well add to what he started.
Qin Xiuchen didn’t like to post much on social media.
His Weibo only contained updates about Qin Ran and her friends. The rest were advertisements.
He didn’t even post selfies.
His comment on a gossip post was regarded as a fake comment by most of the netizens.
The rest of the netizens wouldn’t know who Qin Xiuchen was.
This was because Qin Xiuchen had the reputation of being a gentle and well-mannered idol. Hence, how could he say something like that?
But they were shocked when they clicked on the commenter’s profile.
[I’m so disappointed in you.]
[Please stop, Film Emperor Qin!! She’s not worth it!!]
[Yes.]
[Liked by 8,012 people]
[It’s obvious that she just wanted to be famous. Film Emperor Qin, are you being controlled by her?]
[Damn!! It’s the real deal??!!] Someone commented after confirming that it was Film Emperor Qin that left the comment.
[This is such a rare occasion. I love it.]
The comments started to change.
The netizens first headed to Film Emperor Qin’s Weibo and then to his studio’s Weibo.
After they were done, they left a long comment.
[Damn, how hard is she trying to be famous?! She’s the only person that God Qin addresses as an older sister. Why would she still want to be famous??]
No one could answer the last part.
Song Qingqing was growing in popularity in the industry, but she didn’t have enough fans, and her influence was comparable to a regular person.
If you were to compare her to Qin Ran… Song Qingqing wouldn’t be anywhere near her.
As for her low IQ…
No one could retort that as well…
“Jiang Shanyi” was enough to prove everything. Song Qingqing was only famous because she was pretty. Qin Ran was both smart and pretty.
Hence, even Song Qingqing’s fans couldn’t help her now.
However, this wasn’t the end.
After that, Chen Yu’s post was published.
It was a simple post.
It was just the result slip from a school’s examination. The students from that school were shocked.
[Damn, she was the legendary senior that the principal spoke about?]
[So, she’s the senior that made me feel like a dumbass.]
[It’s nothing at all. She just rejected University M’s invitation twice.]
[She finished her studies in only one year as well.]
[She was a physics genius, yet she was the top scorer for the humanities subject.]
He Chen’s Weibo had focused on writing news articles. Hence Weibo had verified her as a reporter from New Media. It was only after Chen Yu’s post that everyone found that she was the legendary senior from University S.
[Do you remember Director Lin? She was his only student, and he even had a movie prepared for her. She would have been famous ages ago if she wanted.]
…
Now, even those that wanted to accuse her of cozying up to someone powerful or using Qin Ran couldn’t do so…
How could they insult someone who was invited by University M twice?
How could they insult someone that Qin Ran addressed as Older Sister?
How. Dare. They?!
They wouldn’t dare to.
…
At Qin Xiuchen’s studio.
He didn’t look at the reactions after releasing his post. He opened up WeChat and struggled to decide whether to send a message. He then looked out of the window.
With drooping eyebrows, he leaned against the window. His fingers curled around a cigarette, and he breathed out in despair as the smoke rose from it.
Chen Yu came in holding his phone as he wanted to discuss what happened on Weibo.
But after seeing how Film Emperor Qin was at the moment, he stopped.
Chen Yu knew what he was thinking of after being Qin Xiuchen’s manager for such a long time.
Chen Yu coughed to attract his attention as he sat down on the sofa. “Miss He seems to be fated with us.”
Qin Xiuchen looked at him silently as he smoked the cigarette.
Chen Yu pretended that everything was fine and continued, “She follows you everywhere you go. You searched for her for quite a while.”
Qin Xiuchen then stood up and put out the cigarette on the ashtray.
Chen Yu felt as though he was trying to snuff him out instead. He then continued, “She must be the one. She was the one at the bar in Continent M too. If it wasn’t her, how would you have the highest clearance for 129! But we rarely saw her after that…”
The first time Chen Yu met He Chen was at Qin Ran’s wedding.
Back then, He Chen didn’t like to chat. She was focused on her camera and didn’t allow anyone to tell her otherwise. She talked very little and didn’t look cold, but since even Cheng Mu didn’t dare to mess with her, Chen Yu and Jiang Dongye vaguely realized that she was so powerful that even the five guys from the Cheng family didn’t dare to mess with her.
Chen Yu was close by during the hospital incident. He realized that He Chen looked familiar as well.
After that, the bar incident at Continent M happened.
It was rare for Qin Xiuchen to be so close to a female, except on set.
Chen Yu was even involved in the He family’s affairs recently. After speaking to Cheng Mu and witnessing Qin Xiuchen’s strange behavior, Chen Yu realized that He Chen was the lady from the bar and the reporter a few years ago…
They were all the same person!
Film Emperor Qin must have recognized her!
However, Chen Yu didn’t understand. All three of them had a different identity. He wouldn’t have realized it if it wasn’t for Qin Xiuchen’s strange behavior.
However, they hadn’t seen much of He Chen since they came to Continent M.
Chen Yu looked up and wanted to continue.
Qin Xiuchen interrupted him and said, “Get out.”
Chen Yu was speechless.
As he headed out, he said, “Oh right, we’re filming tomorrow. It’s a closed filming, so do prepare for it.”
Qin Xiuchen kept silent.
…
There was a tribute next to the museum. He Chen and Li Yushan were filming it. Although He Chen looked well, Li Yushan was very quiet.
There were sixty-two statues and two hundred and twenty-three names there ranging from old scientific researchers to unknown soldiers.
Most of them didn’t have a proper grave.
Li Yushan finished the final shots and handed the camera to He Chen. She then placed a white chrysanthemum in front of the Hundred People Monument.
It was only when they were almost back at the publishing house that Li Yushan could calm herself down.
When they returned, it was almost time to knock off.
There was a tense atmosphere in the office.
Li Yushan could see that Chairman Zhou was following a middle-aged lady.
“President?” Li Yushan was shocked and stuttered.
The president of the publishing house was a powerful woman. Chairman Zhou was her nephew.
She had been around for a long time, but she didn’t come often, and Li Yushan had only seen her on the news.
“Can you handle it now that Chairman Jiang has left?” The President asked Chairman Zhou. She wasn’t like a typical gentle woman as she had slightly sharp and thick eyebrows and wore a formal dress.
She had a no-nonsense look.
She was idolized by everyone. Even Chairman Zhou looked up to her.
Chairman Zhou replied smilingly, “I can manage.”
He led the president around the publishing house and then saw Li Yushan and He Chen at the door.
Chairman Zhou was shocked. This was because of the huge mess online. The New Media’s official account had crashed because of the traffic.
Considering the special treatment Chairman Jiang gave her, all the employees of the publishing house admired He Chen despite what happened on Weibo.
Chairman Zhou felt that He Chen had a lot of secrets.
But since the president was here, Chairman Zhou kept to himself.
“Let’s head to the office,” he said to the president.
The president was surprised, but she nodded.
The president sat on the sofa in the office and said, “Don’t care about me. Go settle your things.”
Chairman Zhou knew what the president was like and asked for He Chen.
He wanted to promote her to Chief Editor.
It had only been less than a month since he knew about He Chen.
However, He Chen rejected the promotion. “It’s alright, Chairman Zhou. I don’t think I can do it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go write more stories.”
He Chen then turned away.
The president suddenly stood up and said, “Xiao Chen.”
He Chen stopped and greeted her. “Aunt.”
“I came here after I found out what happened on Weibo. I’m glad that you finally overcame it.” The president walked towards her and hugged her.
He Chen looked up after the hug and replied smilingly, “Thank you.”
“If you want to, you can let me meet him,” the president said as she patted He Chen’s shoulder.
She then said some other stuff before letting her leave.
Through the conversation, Chairman Zhou and the secretary kept silent.
It was only when He Chen left that Chairman Zhou realized what had happened. He looked at the president and asked, “Aunt, is that…”
“Your cousin’s ex-girlfriend from high school,” the president said smilingly. “I’m glad she overcame it. Don’t try to make her the Chief Editor. Chairman Jiang has tried to ask her at least a dozen times before already. She rejected it every time.”
The president then said something to Chairman Zhou before leaving happily.
Chairman Zhou sent her to the lift and went to smoke a cigarette.
He had an awesome cousin. Even though he lived in his shadow his whole life, he respected him and was only jealous of his talents. However, his cousin died in an accident in the third year of high school.
It was only then that he found out that his cousin had a girlfriend that took physics. They were the perfect couple and everyone’s nightmare…
After his cousin’s death, he heard that the girl switched to the humanities.
…
In the evening.
He Chen carried a bag of beer to the cemetery in the countryside.
She sat in front of one of the tombs and started drinking.
She was a great drinker.
It was only when she was done with half of the beer that she started to get drunk.
She leaned next to a small tree and spoke softly. “Zhou Rang, this is my last time visiting you.”
Her phone rang on the floor, but she didn’t hear it.
Early the next morning.
He Chen cleared up the cans of beer.
Then, she picked up the phone.
She wanted to skip work today as something was going on at 129, but she saw three missed calls.
They were numbers from the capital. The numbers weren’t saved, but she knew who it was.
She returned the call, but the person’s phone was turned off.
She then walked down and threw the bag into the bin.
She then texted Qin Ran.
She replied within a few minutes.
[You’re heading to a military base for a documentary. You cannot communicate with the outside and have to use the base’s phone.]
He Chen saw the text and replied.
[Alright.]
She then flagged a cab. Chang Ning called her when she got on. “Do you remember what day it is today?”
He Chen put on her headphones and answered, “Yes. I’m going to lie to the students.”
“How is that lying? You’re encouraging them,” Chang Ning said as he continued to drink his coffee. “I’m waiting for you. The last round of selection starts at 9.”
He Chen arrived at 129 at 8:30 am.
There weren’t many students that made it to this round. Only five would be selected.
He Chen had gotten some food on the way.
She was finishing up her meal when she reached the venue.
The staff member waiting for her was elated when she arrived. He was holding onto her black jacket.
Before He Chen spoke, Qu Zixiao was shocked by her presence and asked, “Why are you here?”
He Chen didn’t respond to him but passed an empty soymilk packet to the staff member.
The staff member took it and handed the jacket to her. He then exclaimed, “Boss Chen, you’re finally here!”
