Chapter 256: CEO Jun, the Punching Bag

Xia Wanyuan felt that she had never spoken so carelessly.

Jun Shiling’s heart sank at Xia Wanyuan’s words.

It seemed that the previous few intimate actions had finally aroused Xia Wanyuan’s disgust, to the point that she was resisting him to this extent.

“Then don’t eat. Have some tea.” Jun Shiling suppressed the gloom in his heart and forced a smile as he poured Xia Wanyuan a cup of tea.

“That’s not what I meant.” Xia Wanyuan herself did not know why her tone had suddenly turned bad. She had always been good at controlling her emotions.

“I know. Have some tea.” Jun Shiling smiled and handed the teacup to Xia Wanyuan. He picked up the bowl and quietly ate the food on the table.

Jun Shiling, who was wrapped in a fierce aura, actually looked a little aggrieved.

The food that Xia Wanyuan prepared was for two people. Xia Wanyuan didn’t move her chopsticks much, and Jun Shiling slowly ate all the food that Xia Wanyuan had prepared.

“Aren’t you full?” Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised.

“It’ll be wasted if we can’t finish it.” Jun Shiling usually controlled his diet and did not eat much. Now that he had eaten two portions of food, he felt fine.

Furthermore, this was made by Xia Wanyuan. He did not know if he would be able to eat her cooking in the future. Jun Shiling sighed silently in his heart. He naturally did not want to waste it at all.

After dinner, Xia Wanyuan wanted to return to the manor.

Jun Shiling informed Lin Jing on his phone and postponed all the meetings in the afternoon. Then he looked at Xia Wanyuan. “I happen to have nothing on in the afternoon. Let’s go back together.”

“Okay.”

The car drove on the streets and suddenly passed by a cake shop. Thinking of Xia Wanyuan’s love for sweets, Jun Shiling got the chauffeur to get out of the car and buy one.

As she did not eat much for lunch, when Xia Wanyuan smelled the cake, her appetite was aroused.

She scooped a spoonful and placed it in her mouth. The taste was slightly bitter. It tasted a little like plums?

Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to look at the packaging on the box. As expected, it was green plum.

Upon seeing the words ‘green plum’ [1. The Chinese words for ‘green plum’ is the same as the first two words of ‘childhood sweetheart’ in Chinese.], Xia Wanyuan recalled the words’ childhood sweetheart ‘and ‘Brother Shiling’ that Zheng Fei had mentioned. She immediately lost her appetite and placed the remaining cake on the table.

“Are you unwell?” Jun Shiling asked Xia Wanyuan in concern.

“I feel pretty good.” For some reason, Xia Wanyuan felt an unknown complicated emotion surge in her heart when she saw Jun Shiling.

Sensing the impatience in Xia Wanyuan’s tone, Jun Shiling clenched his fists slightly and stopped disturbing her.

After returning to the manor, Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa and watched television. Jun Shiling did not go to the study to work, which was unusual. Instead, he sat by the French windows and looked out at the garden. No one knew what he was thinking.

Uncle Wang was experienced. With one look, he knew that the two of them had gotten into a fight. However, he could not interfere much with Jun Shiling’s matter, so he could only worry in his heart.

Ding. At that moment, the phone by the sofa rang. Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone. Before she could speak, the other party had already called out, “Brother Shiling.”

Xia Wanyuan’s expression turned cold and she put the phone aside. “Jun Shiling, it’s for you.”

Jun Shiling heard the commotion and came to answer the phone. He only listened for a second before hanging up the phone. He looked at the caller ID and saw the Zheng family’s number.

Jun Shiling’s eyes were cold.

It seemed that because the Zheng family’s political career had been smooth sailing for the past few years, they really treated themselves as one of the top aristocratic families in Beijing.

Thinking that Xia Wanyuan had not eaten lunch and was in a bad mood, Jun Shiling wanted to take her out for a meal in the afternoon to relax. “I think you quite like to eat fish. I’ll bring you to a delicious place that makes fish in the afternoon.”

“No.” Xia Wanyuan rejected him decisively.

“That family really made pretty good food. I went to eat with my friends when I was young.” That “lotus pond” had been open for many years. Back then, he had saved Bo Xiao in the pool at the entrance of that “lotus pond”.

Later on, Bo Xiao brought him to eat a few times. The fish at that restaurant was quite good and the environment was very elegant.

Hearing Jun Shiling mention his childhood friends, Xia Wanyuan naturally thought of the so-called childhood sweetheart, Zheng Fei.

Xia Wanyuan’s heart was in a mess. Before her brain could react, she had already blurted out, “Which friend? Is it your childhood sweetheart?”

Xia Wanyuan’s inexplicable words stunned Jun Shiling.

He had grown up alone since he was young. The only person he had been close to was Bo Xiao, let alone any woman. Where did this childhood sweetheart sister come from?

Jun Shiling’s gaze suddenly swept across the phone. Thinking of the fake “Brother Shiling” that woman from the Zheng family, he suddenly had an epiphany and strung everything together.

It seemed that everything wrong with Xia Wanyuan had started at noon.

A guess that he could not believe surged from the bottom of his heart. Even the usually calm Jun Shiling could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

His eyes, which had been gloomy for the entire day, were now shockingly bright.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan also realized that something was wrong. She cursed in her heart. What’s wrong with me today? I’m really messed up. She turned to leave, but Jun Shiling grabbed her wrist.

Uncle Wang, who was pacing back and forth anxiously not far away, hurriedly retreated when he saw this scene.

Damn, young people were really torturous when they fell in love. It made my old heart palpitate.

Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Jun Shiling’s extremely bright eyes, as if he was especially happy about something.

Jun Shiling barely suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Thinking that he could not scare Xia Wanyuan. He had to take it slow and not let this seedling that had finally appeared be frightened away by him.

“I don’t have childhood sweethearts. Ever since I was young, other than having a friend like Bo Xiao, I didn’t have any other close friends or sisters. I’ve only seen Zheng Fei three times in total. When I was young during her grandfather’s fiftieth birthday was once, and the seventieth birthday the previous year was another time, and today was the last time.”

Jun Shiling seemed to be confessing. He combed through the extremely simple relationship, his eyes serious and solemn.

“Why are you telling me this? It has nothing to do with me.” Xia Wanyuan struggled free of Jun Shiling’s hand with an unnatural expression. However, it could not be denied that because of Jun Shiling’s words, the frustration in Xia Wanyuan’s heart was instantly relieved.

“I just don’t want you to misunderstand. I don’t want you to think that I’m such a playboy. What childhood sweetheart all?” Jun Shiling was not angry when his hand was pulled away because he could clearly see Xia Wanyuan’s expression soften.

“Got it. CEO Jun is the most loyal person, okay?” Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed and could not help but joke.

“You’ll know,” Jun Shiling replied inexplicably. Before Xia Wanyuan could probe further, he changed the topic. “That fish is really delicious. I haven’t been there for many years. Just treat it as accompanying me, okay?”

“Okay.”

Chapter 257: Call CEO Jun Teacher

Jun Shiling called the boss of “Lotus Pond Moon Color”. It was afternoon and there was no one around. Since Jun Shiling was coming, the boss began to clear the area.

It was rare for her to go out. Hearing that the place was in the suburbs, Xia Wanyuan wanted to drive out herself.

Hence, a black Bugatti La Voitur Noire appeared on the streets of Beijing.

Even if Beijing was a place where there were as many rich people as there were cows, top-notch sports cars like Bugatti La Voture Noir could not be bought with money.

“Tsk, tsk. Which rich second-generation heir brought the school belle’s girlfriend out to blow up the streets again?”

“It’s so good to be rich. If I were rich, I would have brought my girlfriend out to blow up the streets too.”

When the sports car got closer, everyone realized that it was a woman who was driving. The sports car whistled past, but it left a lot of discussion.

“You’re wrong. The rich lady blew up the streets with the pretty boy.”

“When will I be kept by a rich woman?”

“What do you know? Why should the rich woman support you?”

“I know how to eat. Six bowls of rice for one meal.”

“… haha.”

————

After driving for about two hours, they finally arrived at a lake with endless lotus leaves in the suburbs. It was almost summer.

Although the lotus flowers had not bloomed, the lotus leaves in the lake were already overwhelming green.

Jun Shiling got out of the car, picked up the umbrella by the side, and opened it to shield Xia Wanyuan from the sun.

It was different from what Xia Wanyuan had imagined. The shop “Lotus Pond Moon” was not large. It was a small courtyard hidden in the middle of the green trees. There was a small river in the courtyard that connected to the lake outside. The tall sycamore trees cast a green shade in the courtyard.

A white-haired but energetic old man walked into the courtyard.

“Uncle Qin.” Jun Shiling nodded at this person.

Qin Kai grinned. “Long time no see. Should I call you CEO Jun now?”

“Uncle Qin, you must be joking. You should call me Xiaojun. It sounds intimate. This is my wife, Xia Wanyuan.” Jun Shiling introduced Xia Wanyuan to Qin Kai.

Xia Wanyuan was already used to the word wife, so she didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it.

When Qin Kai heard this word from Jun Shiling, his heart skipped a beat. He seriously sized up Xia Wanyuan. “What a good lady!” Qin Kai praised from the bottom of his heart.

He had seen so many people here. This Xia Wanyuan was the most stunning person he had ever seen.

“How lucky, Xiaojun. You must cherish it.” Qin Kai looked at Jun Shiling with mixed emotions. Although Jun Shiling was the young master of the Jun family back then, his expression was always cold and cheerless.

Now, seeing that Jun Shiling’s eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at the woman beside him, Qin Kai, who had watched Jun Shiling grow up, sighed.

“I will. Thank you for your concern, Uncle Qin.”

“Have a seat first. I’ll get someone to fish in the lake and make some for you.” After Qin Kai finished speaking, he instructed the disciples in the kitchen to catch the fresh fish in the lake.

In recent years, Qin Kai had stopped cooking and gradually gave the stove to his disciples. However, it was rare for Jun Shiling to come today, so Qin Kai made an exception and cooked himself.

Sitting in the green courtyard and listening to the chirping of insects and birds outside, Xia Wanyuan had a transcendent joy.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s brows gradually relax, Jun Shiling handed her a cup of cold tea. “You’re not angry with me anymore, are you?”

“When did I get angry at you?” Xia Wanyuan avoided Jun Shiling’s deep gaze unnaturally.

“Okay, you’re not angry at me. Then can you tell me how was it at the company today?” Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s unnatural expression, Jun Shiling did not force her anymore. With a smile in his eyes, he considerately changed the topic.

“Shen Qian gave me a few proposals today…” Xia Wanyuan refined the contents of the proposal that she had seen in the morning and told it to Jun Shiling.” If it were you, which proposal would you choose? ”

“Culture.” As Xia Wanyuan had expected, Jun Shiling had indeed chosen the same choice as her.

“I guess you chose culture too.” Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s eyes light up, Jun Shiling knew that he had the same opinion as her.

“I don’t know much about the domestic cultural industry yet. Tell me about it.”

“Okay.”

Jun Shiling’s explanation was from a much grander angle than Shen Qian’s, and this grandness was not an illusory fantasy.

It was as if there was an invisible database hidden in Jun Shiling’s mind that could provide all sorts of data support. Through these countless data, he constructed models and simulated reasonable results.

Xia Wanyuan supported her head with one hand as she listened to Jun Shiling’s explanation. Whenever she encountered something she didn’t understand, she humbly asked for advice.

Hence, within an hour of Uncle Qin cooking, Xia Wanyuan had basically understood the domestic cultural industry market. Furthermore, Jun Shiling had many unique insights during his explanation, which gave Xia Wanyuan a lot of inspiration.

Xia Wanyuan had a preliminary plan for the company’s future development. When this plan was realized, the value of the entire company would be multiplied.

“You spoke too well.” After Jun Shiling finished his explanation, Xia Wanyuan could not help but praise Jun Shiling. He spoke in simple terms and had the support of theory and real data. “If you teach, you will definitely be a very good teacher.”

“Am I not a teacher now? Unfortunately, someone hasn’t even called me teacher.”

After receiving Xia Wanyuan’s praise, Jun Shiling’s eyes were filled with smiles. Even though he had come all the way with applause and flowers, Xia Wanyuan’s praise was ultimately different from others.

“Yes, Teacher.”

Jun Shiling had only said it casually, but Xia Wanyuan stood up and bowed to Jun Shiling.

“What are you doing?” Jun Shiling stopped Xia Wanyuan from bowing further, his eyes filled with a helpless smile.

Xia Wanyuan smiled playfully. “You taught me so well. It’s only right for me to call you teacher.”

The two of them were playing around when Qin Kai walked over with a pot of fish. His eyes were filled with love as he looked at the two of them. “Try the lotus fish I made.”

Xia Wanyuan sat back down. Jun Shiling picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and placed it in Xia Wanyuan’s bowl.

The bones of the fish had long been removed. The fish meat that was raised in the lake naturally and tempered by the natural wind and rain was more fresh and tender than the fish meat in the outside world. With Qin Kai’s excellent cooking skills, he retained the most authentic taste of the fish meat without any fishy smell.

“Delicious!” Xia Wanyuan’s eyes lit up as she praised from the bottom of her heart.

“As long as you like it. Xiaojun, get more food for your wife. There’s more after that.”

Jun Shiling ate a lot in the afternoon and realized that Xia Wanyuan was basically the one eating the next pot of fish. Jun Shiling picked up food for her from the side.

————

The time in this small courtyard was peaceful, and the internet had already exploded. There was no other reason than that the famous Xiafeng Studio had released an album, an album named “Wanfeng” by Xia Wanyuan.

This was not enough to explode the entire Internet. What exploded the trending topic on the Internet was that Xia Wanyuan’s songs were basically the same as Xie Rou’s “Gentle Intents”.

The similarity between the lyrics and melody was as high as 98%.

Chapter 258: The Company Is Not Humane

[ What’s going on? Is it plagiarism? ]

[ Isn’t this copy too brazen? It’s so obvious that they look alike. Even a music idiot like me can tell. ]

[ Isn’t Xia Wanyuan’s lyrics and melody especially amazing? Why do I feel like I smell melon fields? ]

[ But Xie Rou posted this song first. According to the sequence, it should be Xia Wanyuan who plagiarized Xie Rou. ]

After the famous music blogger, the Ear King, heard the comparison between the two, he also posted on Weibo.

@ Ear King: “Yesterday, I had to admit that the mood of the lyrics and songs I listened to ‘Soft Will’ was pretty good, but I kept feeling like I was missing something. Only after listening to ‘Wanfeng’ today did I know what I was missing. Although the styles of these six songs are different, they have the same carefree and natural feeling. It’s obvious that Xie Rou’s voice skills did not bring out the greatest beauty of these few songs, and Xia Wanyuan did.”

[ I have the same feeling. Just that night breeze, when I listened to Xia Wanyuan’s song, I had the feeling of sitting on the grass and watching the setting sun, then the wind blew past my ears. I didn’t have this feeling when I listened to Xie Rou’s song. ]

[ You can plagiarize just because you sing well? Is there such a logic? ]

[ You’re actually standing up for the plagiarist. To think that I’ve been paying attention to you for so long. I’m closing and unfollowing. ]

[ The person in front, how did you know that it was Xia Wanyuan who plagiarized Xie Rou? Perhaps it was Xie Rou who plagiarized Xia Wanyuan. ]

[ The person in front, I agree with you. That Xie Rou hasn’t had many works in the past few years. It’s too fake for her to suddenly have so many good works. ]

Everyone was in a lively discussion. Star Creation Entertainment had also received calls from various partners to inquire about the situation. They had finally pacified all the partners. After discussion, the higher-ups decided to directly break the contract with Xia Wanyuan and file a breach of contract lawsuit and compensation against her.

@ Star Creation Entertainment: “Our company declares that as an artiste of our company, Xia Wanyuan did not abide by the company’s rules and contract regulations. She violated the rules and signed a manager herself. Without the company’s permission, she privately accepted an endorsement. Without the company’s approval, she privately invited the studio to release an album and obtained the parent belt of Xie Rou’s songs through her job, copying and producing Xie Rou’s songs.

Xia Wanyuan’s violations of the rules have seriously hurt the company’s feelings and violated the contract between the two parties. My company has declared that from the day of its release, we will terminate the contract with Xia Wanyuan and will file a lawsuit against her, asking her to compensate my company for all its losses. ”

[ Wow, thank the company for helping us restore Xie Rou’s reputation. Thank you for protecting her well. ]

[ Why didn’t those people who said that Xia Wanyuan didn’t plagiarize Xie Rou appear? ]

[ The company has directly crushed Xia Wanyuan to death at the bottom of the pit. ]

[ She deserves it. Didn’t she just act as a Heavenly Spirit Princess? Does she really think she’s a princess? She’s so arrogant. Didn’t she say a few days ago that Star Creation Entertainment is a lousy company? She definitely won’t fancy this lousy company. ]

At the same time, all major music platforms had also received requests from Star Creation Entertainment to remove Xia Wanyuan’s songs.

Everyone who had doubts about the plagiarism incident changed their attitude when they saw Star Creation Entertainment’s Weibo post.

Plagiarism was a very despicable thing. Immediately, many people swarmed to Xiafeng Studio and Xia Wanyuan’s Weibo to scold them for plagiarism.

When everyone’s anger had fermented to a certain extent, Xia Wanyuan finally appeared.

Chapter 259: The Truth About the Plagiarism Exposed

At this moment, Xia Wanyuan’s Weibo posted a new status.

To be precise, Tang Yin and Chen Yun had used Xia Wanyuan’s Weibo account to post a post. After all, Xia Wanyuan was still admiring the lotus leaves and eating fish in the small courtyard.

@ Xia Wanyuan: “The first melody in the first lyrics of Wanfeng, the second melody in the second lyrics, the third melody in the third lyrics…”

Everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan would come out to clarify, but no one expected her to do so in such a way. These inexplicable words stunned everyone.

[ What nonsense is this?? ]

[ Is this clarification?? What’s wrong with the lyrics? Why don’t I understand them? ]

[ Let’s not talk too much. Xia Wanyuan, apologize to our Xie Rou and get lost from the entertainment industry, okay? You plagiarism dog. ]

[ According to Xia Wanyuan’s Weibo, I went to piece together those notes. I feel that the tune is quite familiar. ]

Xia Wanyuan’s anti-fans and Xie Rou’s fans did not care what Xia Wanyuan had posted at all and kept criticizing her on her Weibo. However, there were still some cautious people who followed Xia Wanyuan’s Weibo and strung the melody of Wanfeng’s song together. Then, they made a shocking discovery.

@ Carrot Loves To Eat Little Bunnies: “F*ck!!!! I arranged the melody in Wanfeng’s song according to Xia Wanyuan. This music is completely similar to the first piece of music Xia Wanyuan composed for the Heavenly Spirit Princess during the live broadcast!!!! Amazing! Too talented!”

There was a small video attached below. The blogger extracted the tones from the song “Wind of the Night” one by one, then combined them and played it smoothly once. Then, he played the first piece of the theme song of the Heavenly Spirit Princess. There was no difference between the two.

This Weibo post was also reposted by netizens and quickly exited the entertainment industry. Unless Xie Rou could present evidence to prove that the song written by the Heavenly Spirit Princess was hers, all the evidence pointed to Xia Wanyuan being the original composer of these songs.

[ Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a big show. ]

[ Xie Rou is amazing too. Star Creation Entertainment is quite a funny company. It’s obvious that they used Xia Wanyuan’s songs to release an album for Xie Rou. ]

[ Perhaps the company and Xia Wanyuan have already discussed this. The company hasn’t even opened their mouths yet. What are you guys speculating about? I believe Xie Rou isn’t such a person. Wait for the truth. ]

[ Retard fans, what a joke. You’re still protecting your master even until your death. ]

Before the commotion could die down, Xia Wanyuan reposted a Weibo post by “Wan Shi Studio”.

After Tang Yin took over Xia Wanyuan’s job, she realized that Xia Wanyuan did not even have a studio and had to rely on herself to post everything. Hence, she discussed with Chen Yun and applied for a Weibo account specially used to post all sorts of official news about Xia Wanyuan.

Of course, when she was choosing the name of the studio, she received friendly comfort and guidance from Assistant Lin. In any case, Xia Wanyuan did not care what the studio’s name was. Under Assistant Lin’s hint, Tang Yin chose this name.

@ Wanshi Studio: “Regarding plagiarism, we just want to ask everyone to see the time this email was sent.”

There was a screenshot attached. Although CEO Wang had gotten someone to hack Chen Yun’s email, he did not take this matter to heart at all. Hence, the traces were not completely cleared. Chen Yun found a hacker and restored the original email.

The email showed that half a month before Xie Rou posted the song, Chen Yun had sent CEO Wang an email. The email clearly wrote, “This is the song lyrics written by Xia Wanyuan. CEO Wang, please review it.”

Now, the truth was out. It was completely Star Creation Entertainment’s excuse to take Xia Wanyuan’s songs for themselves and even released an album for Xie Rou.

A few minutes later, Wan Shi Studio posted another Weibo post.

Wan Shi Studio: “It’s indeed a lousy company @ Star Creation Entertainment.”

Then, there was a small video attached. It was the video of Xia Wanyuan being brought to drink with Supervisor Jin the previous time. In the video, the hypocritical faces of the higher-ups of Star Creation Entertainment and the ugly appearance of Supervisor Jin wanting to use his power to make Xia Wanyuan submit could be seen.

This video instantly caused a commotion.

[ Eurgh, I’m vomiting. What kind of trash is Star Creation Entertainment? Saying that they’re a lousy company is already praising them. They’re too cheap. ]

[ The group of people who scolded Xia Wanyuan for being ungrateful and copying dogs, come out. Open your dog eyes. Who is the dog that plagiarized? ]

[ What kind of lousy company is this? They casually plagiarized the hard work of an artiste and released an album for another artiste in the blink of an eye. They even want an artiste to accompany them for drinks. What do they treat an artiste as? A mistress? ]

[ Since Xia Wanyuan was treated like this because she was unwilling to submit to the despotic power of Star Creation Entertainment, can I boldly guess what shameful relationship Xie Rou has with the higher-ups that they treat her so well? They even stole Xia Wanyuan’s songs for her to release an album. ]

[ The sister in front, you have a lot of thoughts. I agree with your guess. ]

The netizens’ ability to watch the drama could be said to be the current Sherlock Holmes of the entertainment industry.

Soon, everyone found some clues from Xie Rou’s photos.

Someone had pulled out Xie Rou and CEO Wang’s couple shirt. When they took the photos, the wall decoration that was revealed after being compared by netizens was the same as CEO Wang’s house.

There were even netizens who enlarged and edited Xie Rou’s single-person photo. They forcibly detained a figure in flowery clothes from her pupils. Coincidentally, CEO Wang had worn this flowery dress when he participated in other activities that day.

[ Netizens really can do anything. They’re first place. ]

[ If you guys had used a little more of your strength in other aspects, would we still need to watch foreign Sherlock Holmes? ]

[ You guys are really amazing to be able to dig this out. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Xie Rou’s image of a pure and beautiful woman looks gentle and weak on the surface, but she’s extremely unrestrained deep down. ]

[ How can you steal someone’s songs and release them? How can you say that you’ve studied them for three years before writing these songs? You’re too shameless. ]

[ You’re wrong. Maybe she really studied martial arts in bed for three years. Otherwise, how could she seduce CEO Wang of Star Creation Entertainment? Look, didn’t she get this album? ]

The huge wave that spread from Wan Shi Studio swept out layer by layer.

It was originally a matter in the entertainment industry, but because Star Creation Entertainment had released this album for Xie Rou, the sales were especially large. This was considered an extremely serious scam, so it attracted the attention of many official media.

The users felt cheated and demanded a refund from the music platform. Star Creation Entertainment’s shares fell in a straight line.

Chapter 260: Bankruptcy

In the hotel, CEO Wang, who had been confused the entire night and had not woken up until the afternoon, was sleeping soundly with Xie Rou in his arms. His phone rang one after another.

Xie Rou snorted, which piqued CEO Wang’s interest. He kissed her on the body. The phone rang non-stop as if it was urging him to die. CEO Wang reached for the phone and picked it up impatiently. “Hello? What did you say?!!”

CEO Wang, who was initially lazy, broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and ran out. He did not even respond to Xie Rou’s calls.

Under the tremendous pressure of public opinion and the attention of the officials on such a social fraud event, all the music platforms had removed Xie Rou’s album.

To minimize losses, the music platform came up with an idea. It gave all users who had bought Xie Rou’s album two choices. One was to choose to refund the album, and the other was to choose to use Xia Wanyuan’s album to replace Xie Rou’s album. This way, the fee would not be refunded.

To the surprise of all the major music platforms, up to 90% of users chose the second method.

After all, everyone had bought Xie Rou’s album songs because they felt that the melody and melody were good. As for Xia Wanyuan’s voice, it was much better than Xie Rou’s. With this in mind, everyone felt that they had gained something, so they happily agreed to change the album.

In an instant, the champion of the various music charts changed from Xie Rou to Xia Wanyuan.

Star Creation Entertainment had already exploded into a mess. There were checks from the higher-ups, compensation from the music platform, and terminating contracts from all the major endorsement brands. Because of the especially bad social impact, many celebrities under the company also requested to terminate their contracts.

This entertainment company that could once be considered a name in the entertainment industry had collapsed in just two hours.

————

Xia Wanyuan had not eaten lunch and was very hungry. Jun Shiling did not touch his chopsticks much and they all entered Xia Wanyuan’s stomach.

“It’s delicious. Bring Xiao Bao over next time.” Xia Wanyuan put down her chopsticks and took the tea from Jun Shiling to rinse her mouth.

“Okay.” Jun Shiling was naturally willing to come over again next time.

By the time they finished the meal, it was already evening. A large patch of fiery clouds dyed the entire courtyard orange-yellow. The journey back to Beijing was a little far, so Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan did not delay further. After bidding Uncle Qin farewell, they left the lotus pond.

Xia Wanyuan was a little bloated and tired. When they returned, Jun Shiling took the initiative to sit in the pilot’s seat and let Xia Wanyuan sit beside him to rest.

Hence, in the capital city, the black Bugatti La Voture Noir that they had seen once in the day appeared once again.

“Wow, the rich lady brought a pretty boy back.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I saw this car in the afternoon and it amazed me. Now, it still amazed me. Where can I find such a rich woman to keep me? I’m waiting online. It’s quite urgent.”

“There seems to be a man in the driver’s seat. Don’t even think about it.”

“Tsk, I’ll go to Thailand for an operation now. I’ll be done when I come back and charm millions of rich people.”

“…Haha.” My colleague seems to be a fool who keeps dreaming.

By the time they arrived at the manor, the sky had already darkened.

A small figure squatted at the entrance of the main building. Seeing Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling walk over, Xiao Bao cried pitifully, “Mommy, go out and play without me. Boohoo.”
