The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

Chapter 311 Gambling Agreement
In the current public opinion environment.

If they were seeking to maximize their own interests, there was actually no need for Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi to post this Weibo post. They both still had a lot of room for maneuver.

For example, Feng Shiqi accidentally liked a Weibo post that confirmed that she and Bai Xingjian were not on good terms.

In this way, if Feng Shiqi likes a post, even if she accidentally clicks the like button and then cancels it, it will be captured by netizens everywhere.

Then netizens will think that the discord between Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi is most likely true.

The result of this situation is that Yehua Entertainment's already falling stock price will fall even more sharply.

If Bai Xingjian enters the market to buy at the bottom at this time, he can buy more Yehua Entertainment stocks with less money.

This method will definitely make money, but if the opposite effect occurs, it will be a completely loss-making situation.

Therefore, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi did not choose to take this evil path, but stood up and explained some issues openly.

After Bai Xingjian posted this Weibo, it caused a frenzy among many Fenghuang Yufei fans, as well as heated discussions among passing netizens.

[Great, great! Our Phoenix Yufei has not dispersed! ]

[I really don’t know what’s good about this. Those little brains don’t believe that it’s good for Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi to be at odds with each other. Those who believe it are a bit bad.]

[Oh my, you keep calling me "Shiqi" all the time, Brother Xingjian, are you sick of it? Sister Shiqi is several years older than you, why don't you just call her sister? ]

[Feng Shiqi: If you don't hurt my heart, you fans will die, right? ]

[Sister Shiqi is so beautiful, how could she be hurt? She is only three years older than Brother Xingjian. A woman who is three years older than her is a treasure! ]

[Who understands the power of the sentence "Even if the universe is annihilated, Phoenix Yufei will not disperse"! Seeing this sentence, I, a fan of Phoenix Yufei since the "New Era of Heavenly Group", burst into tears, and the tears flowed out as if I couldn't control it! ]

[Is this the legendary tear incontinence physique, with lots of water? ]

[Oh, I knew that what those marketing accounts said was all fake. Brother Xingjian and Sister Shiqi have such a good relationship, how could they not get along? And even if they don’t get along, it’s probably just a quarrel between young lovers. Is there any couple who doesn’t have awkwardness and conflicts when they are in love? ]

[Fortunately, I never believed the comments of these marketing accounts, so I was not affected at all this time. But Feng Shiqi set up "Wild Grass Films" on his own? What's going on? ]

[And the phrase "You can look forward to it a little bit" by Xing Jian appeared again. The last time he said that was during the finals of "The Voice of China 2024", right? ]

[So Brother Xingjian and Sister Shiqi are going to enter the film and television industry? But this "Ye Cao Films" is really a bit difficult to explain, just like the name of the small website Yellow. ]

[Don’t say it. You really shouldn’t say it. ]

[Pass it on, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are going to make a two-person movie! ]

【Legend of the Bull Demon! 】

[So what's the situation with the photo in this Weibo post? If I haven't seen it, the position in the photo is Shiqi sitting on Xingjian, right? Their faces are even pressed together. Are you going to make it official? ]

[Pass it on, Phoenix Flying has officially announced it! 】

[What are you spreading? Is there any need to spread this? The whole world knows that Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are in love, but they themselves don't know, right? ]

[No, Brother Xingjian! Sister Shiqi! Stop showing off your affection! You still haven’t responded to why you didn’t sing new songs at the concert in Beijing! ]

【Hahahaha, I really couldn't hold it in. Brother Xingjian and Sister Shiqi were busy responding to the rumors about them, and the fans started a quarrel. They didn't care whether they lived or died. It was so funny.】

Shortly after posting the clarification on Weibo, Bai Xingjian, also under Mei Jie's reminder, noticed that some fans were dissatisfied with him and Feng Shiqi not singing new songs in the Beijing station.

So, within ten minutes of Bai Xingjian’s first clarification post, he posted another post:
[Regarding the issue of singing new songs at the concert in Beijing, I, Bai Xingjian, would like to sincerely say "sorry" to everyone here. It was my fault that the fans' expectations were dashed. I must admit this and it is a fact that cannot be erased.

Let me tell you the reason why we are not singing new songs. Actually, Shiqi and I are preparing for a new album, and this new album has quite a few songs, so please put aside your expectations of listening to new songs at the concert. There is no hope of releasing the new album before the New Year, so please wait for a while.

An apology is an apology, and it’s not just about saying it on Weibo. Let me give you a benefit here.

Retweet this Weibo and you will win a chance to win tickets to the Phoenix Flying 2024 concert in Shenzhen. There are 1000 tickets for this chance. Welcome to forward this Weibo. 】

After this Weibo post was published, it was instantly forgiven by fans.

As for the infighting among Fenghuang Yufei's fans, it has disappeared without a trace and no longer exists.

The joy brought by listening to a new album with a large number of songs is naturally stronger than the joy brought by one or two new songs at a concert.

In the face of such major issues, fans of Fenghuang Yufei can all tell right from wrong.

……

Black Whale Cafe, Beijing.

At a table near the glass window, a man and a woman sat opposite each other.

The man is already middle-aged, but he is dressed very casually.

A sports down jacket. If you only look at him from the back, there is a high probability that you would think he is a young man.

And the name of this "young man" is Zheng Feihong.

If Bai Xingjian were here, he would definitely be quite surprised.

Because this person is none other than the chairman of Yehua Entertainment.

The woman sitting opposite Zheng Feihong was none other than Qiu Weirui, the granddaughter of Mr. Qiu Zongyu.

She seems to like wearing tweed coats very much. Today she wore a gray tweed coat and a pair of black leather shoes, looking quite cool.

She took a sip of coffee, looked at Zheng Feihong who was sitting opposite her, and asked, "What do you think of Bai Xingjian?"

"Who? Bai Xingjian?"

Hearing this, Zheng Feihong was stunned for a moment, obviously surprised that Qiu Weirui would ask this question.

He thought for a moment before speaking: "He is a young man who has his own ideas, does not like to be constrained, dares to break through, and dares to innovate."

During his many years at Yehua Entertainment, Zheng Feihong has met many different kinds of artists and employees.

And Bai Xingjian was probably one of the few people he had ever met in Yehua Entertainment, or even in his life, who dared to break through and succeeded.

In just over half a year, he transformed from an artist of Yehua Entertainment to a member of the board of directors of Yehua Entertainment. The speed was so fast that it was unbelievable.

"You seem to have a very high opinion of him?" Qiu Weirui asked curiously.

Zheng Feihong nodded: "It has to be high. Apart from you, young lady, I haven't seen a young person growing so fast in a long time."

Qiu Weirui sneered softly: "Bai Xingjian is not worthy of it. Forget it."

Thinking of the song "Flame Horse", she stopped talking.

"So what do you think will be the future development of this person?" Qiu Weirui continued to ask.

"Hmm..." Zheng Feihong fell into deep thought.

Bai Xingjian had actually entered his sight a long time ago.

However, Bai Xingjian at that time was not good enough to arouse Zheng Feihong's interest in getting to know him.

Zheng Feihong officially began to understand Bai Xingjian after Bai Xingjian acquired the shares of a member of the Yehua Entertainment board of directors.

Then he discovered that Bai Xingjian, a young man who was about to turn 22, seemed to have abilities that were a little too powerful and scary.

"The Star of Literature has descended upon the world." After thinking for a while, Zheng Feihong muttered:

"Yes, it's the incarnation of the literary star! Bai Xingjian's ability to write lyrics and compose music is almost unmatched among the younger generation. As for those older than him, there are only a handful of creators who can reach his level.

Therefore, Bai Xingjian’s ability in music is unquestionable, and his future development will get better and better.

It’s just that Feng Shiqi recently founded a company called “Wild Grass Films”, so I feel that he may have the idea of ​​crossing over, but this is still an unknown, and there may be a lot of risks involved, after all, writing songs and making movies and TV series are two completely different things.”

Hearing this, Qiu Weirui nodded slightly. Some of Zheng Feihong's words coincided with her thoughts.

"Let's talk about his character as a human being." Qiu Weirui said.

"Be a human being..."

Zheng Feihong organized his words and told Qiu Weirui his thoughts in an orderly manner.

After a long while, Qiu Weirui nodded and became interested: "Since you think so highly of Bai Xingjian, do you think it will be good or bad for the development of Yehua Entertainment if Bai Xingjian stays in Yehua Entertainment?"

Mentioning this topic, Zheng Feihong frowned, "It will definitely be good for Yehua Entertainment in the short term, but it may not be the case in the long run, because I feel that when Bai Xingjian grows to a certain level, he will want to leave Yehua Entertainment. The establishment of Yecao Pictures is a sign of his leaving Yehua Entertainment."

"You're really restless." Qiu Weirui lowered his head and drew circles in the coffee with a spoon, creating ripples.

Zheng Feihong sighed and said, "But if Bai Xingjian leaves Yehua Entertainment in the future, it will definitely be a huge loss for Yehua Entertainment, and it will be a loss that is hard to bear."

Although Yehua Entertainment is very large, the music department’s office area spans several floors.

But the revenue generated by the music department this year is not as much as that generated by Bai Xingjian himself.

So let alone the fact that it would be a huge loss if Bai Xingjian left Yehua Entertainment in the future, even if Bai Xingjian left now, it would be a serious blow to Yehua Entertainment that would hurt its foundation.

After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fenghuang Yufei is now supplying Yehua Entertainment.

"So the best solution at the moment is to let Bai Xingjian stay in Yehua Entertainment forever."

Qiu Weirui raised his head and looked at Zheng Feihong, and had already made some decisions in his mind.

"Yes, if Bai Xingjian can stay in Yehua Entertainment forever, it will be the best situation for everyone." Zheng Feihong nodded solemnly.

"How old is Uncle Zheng this year?"

"I'll be 55 after this Spring Festival, and I still have five years to retire."

"Then Uncle Zheng, do you mind enjoying your retirement life a few years earlier?"

"Of course I don't mind. As I get older, I can't make some decisions anymore. It would be great if I could retire early."

Zheng Feihong is actually not as interested in fame and fortune as before, even though he is the chairman of Yehua Entertainment.

"But Uncle Zheng, don't take this idea to heart for now. Yehua Entertainment still needs you to take charge of the overall situation."

Qiu Weirui smiled faintly, and all the fierceness in her body disappeared.

……

The rooftop terrace.

Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi and Mei Jie leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. Everything around them was white, and snowflakes were falling in the air.

On January 1, three days before the Spring Festival, Linjiang welcomed the heaviest snowfall since the New Year.

The mountains not far away seemed to be covered with the purest white cloak.

Snow is not a thin veil, but a velvet blanket with a thick texture.

"Mei Jie, the New Year is almost here, why aren't you going home?" Bai Xingjian asked Mei Jie across Feng Shiqi.

The three of them now look just like a couple with a child.

The main reason is that Mei Jie is 1 meters tall and compared with Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, she does look a bit like a child.

There doesn't seem to be any sense of incongruity.

Hearing Bai Xingjian's words, Mei Jie shook her head: "I won't go back for the New Year. I haven't been back for the New Year for a long time."

Mei Jie began to talk a lot, telling about her past experiences in front of outsiders for the first time.

Mei Jie was born in a remote town in the northwest region, a real rural and impoverished area.

In some rural areas, there is an incomprehensible idea that the more children you have, the more hope there is that you can change the fate of your family.

In addition to this difficult-to-accept thinking, there is another shackle, which is the preference for boys over girls.

Mei Jie is the fourth child in the family, with two older brothers, one older sister and one younger brother.

My sister has cut off ties with her family and has no further contact with them, and Mei Jie is also in the same situation where she is about to break off ties with them.

From this we can see how Mei Jie has been through these years.

After hearing her story, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi both looked stunned.

Because from our daily interactions, you can't tell at all that Mei Jie had such a tragic experience. She has taken good care of herself.

There was a time when Bai Xingjian even thought that Mei Jie was a young lady from a wealthy family who came out to experience life.

But the fact is quite the opposite.

Bai Xingjian couldn't help but sigh, and Feng Shiqi also hugged Mei Jie and let her lean into his arms.

The two's actions actually made Mei Jie burst into laughter. She said with sparkling eyes, "It's nothing, actually. I have been through all these years alone. Besides, I have a sister who treats me very well. She has found a good family now and lives a good life. I spend the New Year at my sister's place every year."

Just when Bai Xingjian wanted to say something to comfort Mei Jie, a quick phone call rang.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw that the caller was Zheng Wei.

After the call was connected, Zheng Wei's excited voice came from the phone: "Come and open the door! The headquarters sent us a gambling contract!"
