The news struck like a tornado.

Public opinion on the internet was instantly reversed.

The President of Star Entertainment didn’t even think of it himself.

He only wanted the king of engagement to make a fortune for his company and use him to promote someone.

He didn’t expect that Yan Xi would cancel the contract and Qin Ran would be able to cause an uproar.

Every industry had its own rules.

In literature, science, IT, and electronics…

Every industry was dominated by a family. For example, in the Beijing entertainment circle, the Jiang family was a giant that could not be shaken.

The President of Star Entertainment had never heard of Poppy, but nowadays, the security system in almost every computer in China was developed by Poppy. If she charged a fee, her personal wealth was unimaginable.

There was an understanding in the IT world that you could criticize almost anyone, but if you tried to criticize Poppy and Lu Zhixin who always selflessly shared core technologies, you would become a public enemy of the entire IT industry.

This was the reason why the giant Yunguang Consortium couldn’t control the generals of the 28th floor.

The President of Star Entertainment sat blankly on his chair.

Without Yan Xi, how could his company use its past reputation to attract newcomers and investors? By relying on Jiang Xu?

The President really regretted his decision. He shouldn’t have been greedy and just believed any news about the Yunguang Consortium.

He only looked at Qi Chengjun smiling like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Even Qi Chengjun had moved out and Qin Ran definitely didn’t discuss anything with him…

…

In the car.

Boss Wang sat in the passenger’s seat and concentrated on scrolling through Weibo. He glanced at Qin Ran from time to time.

“Where do you live now?” Qin Ran asked him.

“A place allocated by Star Entertainment.” Yan Xi withdrew his gaze.

As Yan Xi was a public figure, an ordinary community naturally couldn’t protect him from the paparazzi, so he had always lived in a secretive community. He could also be found working in his studio. In the past when he had the Yunguang Consortium behind him, Star Entertainment took extreme care of him.

The environment was good, so Yan Xi didn’t move out.

Now that he had terminated his contract with Star Entertainment, he couldn’t live there anymore.

“I will ask my uncle to arrange new accommodation for you.” Qin Ran took off her baseball cap, coughed twice, and then continued, “I’m sure you know my uncle. Do you want to use his studio too? Otherwise, you can also open your own studio.”

“I will sign a contract with Uncle Qiu, then,” Yan Xi said seriously. “I can participate in a few variety shows.”

This time, he really couldn’t afford the Star Entertainment contract termination fee.

Yan Xi was also self-aware and could only help Uncle Qiu by participating in a few variety shows.

Compared to Star Entertainment, Yan Xi was very happy to sign up for variety shows while working for Film Emperor Qin.

He thought about it and decided that he’d suggest a few variety shows for him to appear in when he signed the contract with Film Emperor Qin.

Cheng Mu drove the car directly to the Qin family’s house.

At this time, Film Emperor Qin had just arrived home.

“You’ve lost weight.” When he heard a servant say that Qin Ran had arrived, Film Emperor Qin walked out without finishing his glass of water.

Qin Ran got out of the car.

The weather signified that it was almost April.

She was wearing a black fleece sweater with a white shirt underneath. Her sleeves weren’t long enough, and he could tell from her expression that she was a little cold.

However, she was still in high spirits.

Qin Xiuchen tried to speed things up, and, thankfully, he was able to finish filming his scene ahead of schedule and return because his director was accommodating.

He didn’t accept any jobs recently.

Now, the Qin family, Qin Ran, and Cheng Juan weren’t in a stable position, and even Qin Hanqiu had stepped forward.

“Emperor Yan, let’s go in and talk.” Qin Xiuchen stretched out his hand to pat Qin Ran’s head before looking at Yan Xi.

Qin Ran looked at him and her fingers tightened.

After she found out about Old Master Qin’s affairs, she was a little afraid to face the members of the Qin family.

“You can talk about the contract. I’ll visit the Xu family for a while,” Qin Ran said. She coughed in a low voice and stopped at the entrance.

The Xu family’s Research Institute wasn’t stable. And recently, it had placed its focus on Continent M again.

This transaction was very important.

Qin Ran wanted to personally witness it.

“Are you sick?” Qin Xiuchen glanced at her.

Qin Ran shook her head casually. “Maybe I have a cold.”

Qin Xiuchen couldn’t control her. He frowned before slowly saying, “Go. But don’t tire yourself too much. If it really can’t work out, just come back to the Qin family.”

“You must be careful.”

…

In the Xu family’s house.

Butler Xu and Xu Yaoguang were busy handling the situation.

When Qin Ran arrived, they were still in an internal meeting.

“Miss Qin.” When he saw Qin Ran, Butler Xu quickly stood up and gave up his seat for her.

“No need.” Qin Ran dragged a chair over from a corner and said to him, “You can all continue the discussion. I will just listen.”

At the conference table, Second Uncle Xu glanced at her and then lowered his head.

“Tomorrow, we will leave from the north of the city.” Xu Yaoguang put down the documents in his hand and looked at her. He said in a clear and serious voice, “We still have a group of people in Continent M. This time, we need to be very careful.”

If someone were to make trouble, it would definitely be a blow to the Xu family.

Qin Ran slightly relaxed her legs, and her face looked a little pale.

Hearing that, she nodded slightly. “I’ve got it. I will join you tomorrow.”

“You…” Xu Yaoguang looked at her and frowned slightly. “Are you sick?”
