Chapter 15 President Xuan

Everyone present felt the care from above, and were filled with gratitude and emotion.

They realized that the people had not forgotten them, and their spirits were greatly satisfied.

“From today onwards, no one in this crew will exploit you. If anyone does, you can speak up. At the same time, your treatment will be improved. You will work eight hours a day, and your food, drink, and accommodation will also be better.” Qin Xuan told them the conditions he had discussed with Wang Zhongjun and the others.

This immediately brought joy to everyone present, and Shen Ao confirmed, "Really?"

“It’s true, Director Huang can testify to that.” Qin Xuan nodded.

"Yes," Director Huang said.

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, everyone present beamed with smiles. This was exactly what they had hoped for: dignity was restored, and their treatment had improved.

While I may not be on par with my superiors, it's still a significant step forward. In short, my efforts have paid off, and things are looking up.

Unlike the smiling faces of the others, Wang Zhongjun and Ferre had expressionless faces.

After all, this came from their own blood, so they can't be happy even if they want to.

"Do we really have to treat them like this?" Boss Jie asked Fang Long, who was standing next to him.

The two formed a company called JJ, and are also considered investors in this film, hence the question.

"What can we do if we don't give it to them? The higher-ups have already given us the order." Fang Long gestured to Director Huang.

"I just feel like I've been ripped off," said Boss Jie.

"You can only tell me this, but don't tell anyone else," Hendrik Willem Van Loon instructed.

Boss Jie nodded to indicate that he understood. His reputation in this area was already not very good, and if he were to touch on any more sensitive nerves, he would probably be torn to shreds by criticism.

"Alright, I've covered everything I needed to say. Goodbye, brothers!" Qin Xuan waved to them with a relaxed expression.

Shen Ao's expression immediately changed, and he grabbed him, saying, "Where are you going?"

"Go to other film crews and see if you can find work." Qin Xuan gave an awkward smile.

Upon hearing his words, everyone present changed their expressions, their initial joy turning into awkwardness.

They realized that things weren't as rosy as they had imagined. They were happy, they had gotten the benefits, and Qin Xuan was about to leave.

Liu Yifei was also quite taken aback. He hadn't done anything; he had only represented the negotiators. Why was he leaving?
She glanced at her mother, wanting to get an answer.

“This person broke a taboo by advocating for ordinary people, and the capital in the industry won’t tolerate him,” Liu Xiaoli explained.

"Aren't those people being too petty? They can't even tolerate someone like this." Liu Yifei pouted, feeling it was very unfair.

"After all these years, who can still tolerate us, mother and daughter?" Liu Xiaoli stroked her daughter's head.

This time, her return to Beijing to negotiate with Wang Zhonglei of Huayi Brothers did not go so well, and she also faces the prospect of being blacklisted.

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhang Linke anxiously stepped forward and said, "Brother Qin, you can't leave! We'll feel terrible if you leave."

"Yes, Brother Qin, you represented us in the negotiations. What are we now that you're gone?"

"Isn't that just taking advantage of your dead body?"

"Stay!"

The crew members gathered around Qin Xuan, their expressions earnest and anxious.

They didn't expect that just letting someone represent them once would lead to their sacrifice; wouldn't that make them sinners?

He felt very guilty, as if he owed Qin Xuan something.

"I know your good intentions, and I know your hearts. To be honest, I'm very happy to have you brothers, but unfortunately, I have to leave." Qin Xuan looked at them.

“If you leave, I’ll leave with you. This lousy film crew is better off gone.” Zhang Linke suddenly lost his temper.

"Yes, we'll go with you. If this place doesn't want us, there are plenty of other places that will."

Everyone got excited; young people are just so easily carried away.

"Please don't. If you all leave too, then all the effort I've put in for you will have been for nothing. Listen to me, keep going," Qin Xuan reassured him. "But you..." Shen Ao said.

"I'm fine. I will continue to fight for my ideals. Although I'm gone, my spirit lives on. Do you still remember our promise?" Qin Xuan said.

"Remember!"

Shen Ao and the others nodded solemnly, their expressions serious. Of course, they remembered the matter of forming a new force.

We must bring fairness and justice to this industry, and not treat it like cattle or horses.

"Just remember that. No matter where I am, I'm not fighting alone. I still have you guys, my good brothers. Please believe me, I haven't left. Instead, I'm reuniting with you all under a new identity." Qin Xuan said passionately.

"Yes! I believe it too."

"I believe too."

".."

They all looked solemn, mainly because Qin Xuan's words were so infectious that they stirred up their emotions.

Qin Xuan's gaze swept over the young faces.

They all looked at him with respect, admiration, and a sense of being touched—a shared vision and recognition.

How can one not admire and respect someone who is willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others?

"Goodbye!" Qin Xuan turned and walked outside.

Those present followed behind him reluctantly, wanting to see him off.

Behind him, Zhang Linke clenched his fist, raised his hand, and shouted, "President Xuan! New Power!"

"President Xuan, a new force!"

"President Xuan, a new force!"

"."

One person shouted, and then a second person did; as more and more people shouted, the volume grew louder and louder, resounding through the sky and carrying far and wide.

Those who weren't there but were watching from the outside were all surprised, wondering what kind of sound it was.

Who is Xuan Zong?

Looking at the crowd of young people and then at Qin Xuan's retreating figure, Director Huang couldn't help but shake his head. This guy was too influential.

Thank goodness we're not in ancient times. In ancient times, it would probably have meant a change of dynasty. I can only hope the entertainment industry stays healthy!
Because he knew that this person hadn't lost; instead, he had gained a lot of popular support. It all depended on how he used it. If he used it well, he could definitely become a powerful figure.

Not only these young people, but many others will be grateful to him and will have a natural affinity for him.

Speaking out for the people is a very prestigious honor that money can't buy.

However, the main creators of the production team and investors such as Wang Zhongjun appeared indifferent, and it's unclear what they were thinking.

Liu Yifei was quite sentimental. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. All she felt was emotion and the tragic grandeur of that person; she didn't think much more about it.

"Silly child, why are you crying?" Liu Xiaoli put her arm around her daughter's shoulder and patted her to comfort her.

"I think he's great, but also very pitiful." Liu Yifei sniffed.

"He's bribed you like that? Maybe he did it on purpose?" Liu Xiaoli said.

"How could this be?" Liu Yifei exclaimed in surprise.

If it was intentional, that would be terrifying; she couldn't imagine how deep this person's thoughts could be.

In fact, Qin Xuan had not expected this outcome, but he had no choice but to go with the flow.

"Whether it was intentional or not, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. As long as the behavior is good, that's fine." Liu Xiaoli didn't dwell on the matter.

"I think he's a good person," Liu Yifei said earnestly.
