Chapter 16 What is a Lady?

The team behind Qin Xuan was huge, and the shouts of "President Xuan! New Force" were loud and enthusiastic, but most of them were still grassroots employees.

Those who did not participate stood on either side, watching silently.

They continued on their way, stopping at the entrance to the film set, where a large crowd had gathered—people who had come to watch the show but were being kept outside.

Even some celebrities who make a living here, such as Zhang Songwen, Lei Jiayin, Ya Ya, and Zhao Xiaodao, are now inconspicuous and no one pays attention to them in the crowd.

They craned their necks, admiring the spectacular sight, their gazes fixed on the leader.

"That's enough for now, you can go back." Qin Xuan turned to look at them.

"President Xuan, we won't say much, we've got it all in our hearts. In the future, if you need anything, just ask, and we'll do anything to help." Zhang Linke clenched his fist and placed it on his chest.

Shen Ao, Li Miao, and others nodded solemnly, and the hundreds of people surrounding them were also moved.

"Okay, I'll keep it in mind." Qin Xuan shook hands with them, and then shook hands with the people behind him as well.

Media were present and took a picture of this scene, which will become a classic photo in the future, after all, it was the beginning of "President Xuan".

Just as they were saying goodbye, Peter Wang stepped forward and handed over an envelope, saying, "This is your technical service fee."

"Thank you, Director Wang. Please take care of my uncle in the future." Qin Xuan accepted the gift.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Peter Wang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take care."

"Take care, you too," Qin Xuan said.

After this parting, I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to meet again, so I just took care of what I needed to do.

Wu Guoqiang watched this scene from the crowd, wiping away his tears. How could this happen after only two days here!

He was extremely worried and muttered, "Without a job, how will I live?"

After all, he had no other connections and couldn't get any jobs, and now that his nephew had done this, it was almost impossible for him to make it in this line of work.

Peter Wang completed his mission and returned to Peter Pau's side. Both of them were amazed, never expecting that a boy from the countryside could accomplish such a great thing in just two days.

"I misjudged him!" Peter Wang sighed.

“It’s not that I misjudged him; perhaps he’s just an upright person at heart,” said Peter Pau.

Peter Wang remained silent. What kind of person he was was no longer important; the person was gone.

In reality, they only knew Qin Xuan; there was no deep relationship between them. It was just a pity that such a talented person was wasted.

Qin Xuan said goodbye to them, then walked through the crowd and left under everyone's watchful eyes.

Of course, there were bound to be voices of discussion.

"What did this person do? How come so many people love and respect him?"

"He represented the ordinary staff of the 'The Forbidden Kingdom' crew in negotiations and helped them get better treatment, but unexpectedly, the crew leaders lacked martial ethics and fired him."

"It's said that he's not allowed to re-enter this circle."

"Huh? Really?"

"It's true, I just got the news, and this is the opinion of many film and television producers."

"That's a piece of the pie that's been touched by capital!"

"What do you think? This is a warning to others. Our producer has given a strict order: no Qin Xuan, no one is allowed to use anything called 'General Manager Xuan'."

"Huh?! Our production team just issued a similar notice: no extras, no porters either."

"This is an attempt to wipe them out completely!"

Many people are still well-informed, but they also feel a deep sense of powerlessness. Capital is on guard, preventing such people from reappearing. Anyone who steps forward again will be eliminated without hesitation, just to see who dares to do it again—a very normal operation.

You oxen and horses, just be good oxen and horses!

At this moment, they deeply realized the terrifying power of capital; if you nitpick again, you won't even get food.

Domestic film and television production teams, especially joint venture production teams, have strengthened their management and forbade any further discussion of "President Xuan," aiming to completely eliminate him from the public eye.

Of course, small film crews don't care about any of that; they just do what they always do.

Therefore, they cannot fight against capital. Qin Xuan may seem to have changed something, but in fact nothing has changed. Capital remains the same, and most people remain silent, not daring to speak.

But people saw light in him, which is why many people believed in him.

Some people even pooled their own money to help him register the "New Power" trademark and company in Beijing.

We just hope he can do something more!
The movements of major film crews across the country remain hidden from the public eye; such matters are not reported in the newspapers, and the average person would not know the specifics of the entertainment industry.

Domestic reports only featured a picture of Matthew bowing in apology, in an attempt to boost public confidence.

The article essentially says: "They deeply realized their mistakes and sincerely apologized!"

This greatly satisfied the vanity of many netizens and viewers, who then expressed their opinions.

"People all over the world are kind and have a sense of justice, thanks to the development of the internet."

"This person is quite honest and down-to-earth."

They had no idea how much effort Qin Xuan had put in behind the scenes, yet they had developed feelings for the man named Matthew. That's just how ironic the media can be sometimes.

Shen Ao, Li Miao, Zhang Linke, and others were furious when they saw these reports.

"It's clearly our achievement, but it's become theirs. It's ridiculous," Zhang Linke said indignantly.

"I wonder how President Xuan is doing?" Shen Ao asked.

They hadn't seen Qin Xuan for several days.

The news of Matthew's apology also reached back into the United States, where he was met with a barrage of criticism from the American public.

"Fuck, you don't deserve to be an American!"

"Shit, you've disgraced America!"

This made Matthew afraid to go out after returning to the United States, for fear of being recognized and beaten up.

Americans are quite violent; they're quick to pull out guns.

Of course, Ferre also fared poorly; he was dragged into the blame, removed from his position as producer, and replaced with a new one.

This was also the reason why Ferré was so adamant about not agreeing, which implicated him as well.

Fortunately, Relativity Media told him to lay low for a while, and that he would be allowed to come out again once the situation calmed down and new projects came up.

Qin Xuan's actions had a significant impact; he himself became a victim, and many others were implicated and had their fates altered because of him. The film and television industry also tacitly united for once.

That night, in a noodle shop, Liu Yifei, wearing black-rimmed glasses and with her hair in a bun, was happily slurping down her noodles in a corner.

"Look at you, you have no ladylike manners at all," said Liu Xiaoli across from her.

"What is a lady? Can you eat her?"

Liu Yifei pouted and slurped the noodles into her mouth, completely disregarding her image.

She picked up some noodles with her chopsticks and put them in her mouth. Then, her eyes lit up, and she quickly spat the noodles back into the bowl, waving and calling out, "Hey, President Xuan."
