Chapter 629 - Web Comic Volume (29): Reversal!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Mo Zhihen has terminated the contract with Magic Lamp?” Upon hearing about this news, Fourth Master Liu and Mu Zining were both very surprised.

Fourth Master Liu didn’t expect to have such great power. He took his phone and gave Mu Zining a call. “This is the way it should be. That ugly girl is nothing. Zining, I’ll really have to congratulate you in advance this time.”

Mu Zining paused.

She really hadn’t expected this to happen in the beginning. After all, the contract had been signed, so she had only wanted to make use of this incident to stir up her popularity.

Who knew that Pinnacle Studios would back off by itself.

As an open-minded person, she had always been arrogant and conceited after going smoothly over the years. Hence, she didn’t feel like her career would be overturned. Upon linking the incidents together, she inevitably thought that the Qin family also valued her talent.

At this time, her mind became active, and her heart rate was twice as fast as before. She could sign a contract with Beijing’s Qin family...

She had already returned to the Mu family at this time.

Today, Mu Nan was also eating at the Mu family’s house. He had come to inquire about Mu Zongyuan and the loss of his old ministry.

Mu Zining’s emotions had always been well-controlled, but she really couldn’t hide her joy at this time.

Old Master Mu noticed it and coughed twice before slowly asking, “Zining, is there any happy event?”

“Let me guess.” Before Mu Zining could reply, Mu Zongxi took the lead to guess the reason. He laughed out loud and said, “Zining is about to sign a contract with Beijing’s Qin family!”

Sitting beside Old Master Mu, Mu Nan was initially talking to an old subordinate of the Mu family.

However, upon hearing the familiar name, he paused and looked up at Mu Zining.

Mu Zining didn’t notice his stare, because everyone in the room was focusing their attention on her.

She picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth. “I’m almost signing the contract.”

That meant that she basically nailed it already. Upon hearing this, most of the Mu family eagerly looked at her and asked her about the Qin family.

Only Mu Nan remained silent and withdrew his gaze.

After the meal, Butler Mu sent Mu Nan off.

Before he got into the car, Mu Nan stuck his hands in his pocket and said to Butler Mu, “Butler Mu, about Mu Zining’s matter... It’s best if the Mu family doesn’t participate.”

“What?” Butler Mu didn’t understand.

Mu Nan didn’t say much and directly left.

Butler Mu stood at the gates and thought about it for a long while. He then went to find Old Master Mu and the project director to tell him about Mu Nan’s strange reaction.

“He really said that?” Old Master Mu looked hesitant.

Butler Mu nodded. “I always feel like... Young Master Mu Nan isn’t simple, especially his cousin... His cousin seems to be surnamed Qin?”

“Qin?” The project director knew about the experimental drug incident and suddenly looked up. “Is... Is she from the Qin family? What’s her relationship with them?”

“Zining is overconfident about this matter. Butler, go and talk to her.” Old Master Mu had already understood the ins and outs of the matter from his subordinate. He thought for a long time and then said solemnly, “This Qin family... suddenly told Mo Zhihuai not to care about this... I keep feeling like something is wrong.”

“Okay, Butler Mu. I know what you mean, I know what to do now.” After listening to Butler Mu, Mu Zining politely sent him out. “Thank you for your concern, I’ll consider it carefully.”

Mu Zining had also grown up under Butler Mu, so he was well aware of what she was thinking at this moment.

She had always been arrogant and was used to being spoiled as a child, so how could she possibly follow Butler Mu’s advice? Especially since her opponent was a person like Magic Lamp who didn’t even dare to show her face. Ultimately, she really couldn’t care less.

After sending him out, she looked at her Weibo page filled with congratulations and comforting words. Furthermore, her followers had increased by 70,000.

Her mind started spinning actively.

If she became the first person to cooperate with the Qin family’s convenient four-dimensional reading, her worth would almost match that of Mo Wenqiong.

She thought for a while and finally posted: [Thank you, everyone. I’ll never forget the sense of justice you guys have shown.]

...

10 pm.

The matter had almost reached its end.

After Mu Zining posted on Weibo, her followers rose to 200,000.

Fans of her beauty manga had grown stronger.

At the same time, the Qin family’s public relations department and Film Emperor Qin’s studio had been working overtime. Most of them were Qin Ran’s fans, and the Qin family had a particularly obvious feature—

They were fiercely protective of their own family.

At 10:05 pm, the manager received a call from the Qin Corporation.

He hung up and smiled widely. Biting his cigarette, he tilted his head slightly at the person voluntarily working overtime in the studio and said, “You can start now.”

The staff member held up his keyboard and grinned. “Brother, don’t worry. I can even play against ten people!”

Were they seeking their own death by cursing Qin Ran? Not to mention Film Emperor Qin’s fans protecting her, just the inclusion of “QR’s” fans was not something Yiyi Zining could compare to.

...

Editor Shen’s house.

He poured two cups of tea and handed one to Assistant Cao and the other to an author.

He was already off work at Pinnacle Studios, and they had come over to discuss some matters.

Assistant Cao was talking on the phone, his mouth dry.

“How is it?” Editor Shen looked at her after she finally hung up. “What did your marketing friend say?”

“Who did Magic Lamp offend?” Assistant Cao scratched her head, looking very irritable. “My friend said that all marketing accounts received the news in the afternoon and were not allowed to receive orders about Magic Lamp. Yiyi Zining and Fourth Master Liu are really so capable?”

They could even control the entire network?

“Didn’t we see Mr. Qin last time?” Assistant Cao glanced at him. “Why didn’t he come out and say something? I’m pretty sure that Magic Lamp has something to do with the Qin Corporation...”

However, according to the company’s internal news this afternoon, the Qin family didn’t care about this matter at all. They had even disregarded the termination of Pinnacle Studio’s contract with Magic Lamp.

Assistant Cao’s heart was now very chaotic.

“As for the photos on the Internet, who posted them?” Assistant Cao’s expression was wiped of all smiles. Perhaps because of the hotpot lunch, she actually felt like Magic Lamp was a pretty good kid. “Editor Shen, call Magic Lamp and ask how she’s holding up. Also, tell her not to post her photo.”

At present, Magic Lamp was being cursed at so widely by the netizens, Assistant Cao was afraid that they would chew off her human flesh if her pictures were exposed.

Such a big thing was too stressful for a girl.

Nodding, Editor Shen took out his phone to call Magic Lamp.

The phone rang once and was picked up.

However, there was only light breathing on the other end.

Editor Shen’s expression changed. “Magic Lamp, Magic Lamp? Are you okay? What’s wrong?”

After hearing a door close, he heard a polite voice say, “Editor Shen, hello. Magic Lamp is already asleep. If there’s anything, you can tell me.”

The voice was lowered and also sounded a little lazy and casual.

There was a slight degree of arrogance.

Upon hearing this voice, Assistant Cao and the author next to Editor Shen were taken aback.

However, Editor Shen wasn’t surprised. “Oh, it’s good that she’s asleep.”

Since the gentleman’s voice wasn’t hurried nor angry, Editor Shen paused for a moment and asked again, “Sir, do you know about Magic Lamp’s incident online?”

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Juan leaned against the window at the end of the corridor. He put a cigarette in his mouth but didn’t light it. Looking down at the neon lights outside, he chuckled and said, “You guys have worked hard this afternoon. Rest assured, this matter is coming to an end.”

They exchanged a few more words and then hung up.

Editor Shen was a little stunned.

He didn’t quite understand this development.

“Editor Shen, that man...” Assistant Cao had heard Cheng Juan’s voice and couldn’t help but ask.

Editor Shen returned to his senses in a daze. “Erm... I think he’s Magic Lamp’s husband.”

Assistant Cao widened her eyes. “She got married so early?”

“It’s not the time to talk about this now.” Editor Shen shook his head. “What did that Mr. Cheng mean?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little author sitting next to him seemed to have read something on Weibo. His whole body froze, and he stuttered, “Brother Shen, Sister Cao... Erm...”

Editor Shen and Assistant Cao were a little flustered. “What happened again? It’s blowing up again?”

“No, that’s not the case. Take a look.”

He showed them the Weibo page.

The first post was Qin Corporation’s official Weibo, who had reposted a fan’s message: “... Us fans collectively ask for Pinnacle Studios to give us a statement. Otherwise, we’ll boycott ‘Celestial Wolf’ and the convenient four-dimensional reading! (smile)”

Then, the account had attached a comment—

[It was originally a convenient four-dimensional reading designed for her. It’s the first work for her, what’s wrong?]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Film Emperor Qin reposted it, saying: “Dare to grab Yiyi Zining’s resources? Are you disregarding us millions of fans?”

Then, the account had attached a comment—

[Are the hundreds of millions of fans of Beijing University’s school tyrant still here? I’m waiting online, it’s quite urgent.]
