In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 79 The Capital to Boast

After Qin Xuan left, Xiao Wang was furious in the private room, and his angry curses could still be heard from a distance.

Anyway, the dinner was unbearable and had to end unhappily, since all three investors had left, but Huayi had achieved its goal.

It can be said that with Qin Xuan's meddling, everyone's goals were achieved.

Huayi secured investment; Liu Yifei was able to extricate herself; those who didn't want to attend the dinner party no longer needed to be appeased; Qin Xuan also got to show off and had his fill of cursing.

Those three investors suffered losses, but they were going to invest anyway, regardless of whether the dinner party happened or not. These CEOs and rich people all wanted to try their luck in the entertainment industry.

If you don't believe me, just look at Harper's Bazaar. It claims to be charity, but it's just a playground for the rich.

On the way to the parking lot, Old Wang shook his head and said helplessly, "You've achieved your goal, but you've dragged us into this mess. You've offended quite a few people, from the film industry to foreign capital."

"What's there to be afraid of? I have the content, you have the cinemas, we've got the whole supply chain covered, why would we be afraid of them blocking us? It's just a matter of promotion in the middle, but the future is the internet age, the mobile age, it will reshuffle the deck. No matter how powerful they are, can they control everything in the internet and mobile age?" Qin Xuan didn't care at all.

Public opinion on the internet is completely uncontrollable; it's nothing more than whitewashing and smear campaigns.

"Don't underestimate any person or force. Their methods are never limited to just one industry. Who knows, one day they might fall on you personally." Old Wang tapped his chest.

This was a reminder. After saying this, he got into a black minivan, escorted by two attendants.

The black van drove away, while Qin Xuan remained standing. After hearing what he said, Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little "startled".

I recalled many scattered news stories from my past life: someone soliciting prostitution, someone suffering a mental breakdown and falling from a building, someone accidentally falling while drunk. Were they all just accidents?

Qin Xuan was unaware of this, but he had no choice but to remain on high alert.

He wasn't afraid; he was taking responsibility for himself. If you're afraid of everything, you might as well live a mediocre life and be content with your lot. Why bother challenging this or that?

Anyway, after his outburst, Liu Yifei became wary and stopped attending such dinners, limiting herself to promotional events for "The Forbidden Kingdom".

This is a contractual agreement; you can't refuse to participate.

However, when she got home that night, she called her mother and told her everything.

"You said that Da Wang and Xiao Wang used the excuse of promoting the movie to lure you to a dinner party with investors, and then Xiao Xuan showed up and ruined the dinner party," Liu Xiaoli repeated her daughter's words.

"Yes, he was too arrogant. He cursed the three capitals and the two kings. Those people hate him to the core now."

Liu Yifei leaned forward in front of the vanity in the hotel bathroom, applying lip balm in front of the mirror. Her lips were glistening. She continued, "I don't know why he's doing this. He's suddenly like a different person. I'll call him later and ask him what's going on."

"Maybe it's for you," Liu Xiaoli said.

"Me?" Liu Yifei's hand froze in mid-air, her eyebrows twitched, and her mind went blank for a moment.

"I think so."

Liu Xiaoli's tone remained gentle, yet with a hint of certainty, "He must have seen your predicament at the time and deliberately stepped forward to draw the fire for you."

Liu Yifei lowered her eyes and thought about it. It was true. After Qin Xuan's commotion, she got away unscathed, and the two Wangs no longer had their eyes on her.

She was driven to the brink of mental collapse, and her mind was entirely focused on how to kill Qin Xuan; she was not her primary target at the moment.

"That child always has a purpose in everything he does, but this time..."

Liu Xiaoli's tone was tinged with sympathy and emotion, "He didn't gain any benefit at all, but instead offended all those capitalists, and he took on all the pressure for you!"

Liu Yifei tightened her grip on the lip balm slightly, looking at herself in the mirror with complex and unreadable emotions.

It felt like I'd been lightly bumped in the heart, not hard, but the sensation lingered, both bittersweet, like having a warm, soft candy in my mouth, with a slightly astringent taste.

What's bitter is that Qin Xuan is willing to do anything for her, and doesn't care about taking on everything.

The soft feeling gave her a sense of being protected. "I'd better go and keep an eye on you! The two bosses will definitely keep pressuring you." Liu Xiaoli still decided to go and watch over her daughter; she was really worried about her.

Originally, the reason why the two kings wanted to sign her daughter was for profit and to go public, so that the valuation could be higher.

The unspoken rules are just a side effect; that's how the big and small kings of Huayi rose to power. There's no female star in this company who doesn't have to go along with the rules.

"No need, I can handle it!" Liu Yifei took a deep breath, wanting to stand on her own and not always rely on her mother to be the bad guy.

How can I not be at ease?

Liu Xiaoli's voice deepened, "Those people are still up to no good; who knows what trouble they'll cause later?"

Liu Yifei changed the subject: "Have you finished trading gold?"

"It's over."

Liu Xiaoli's tone was full of admiration, and her originally calm face brightened up a bit, "That child is really amazing, he said everything correctly, without the slightest error."

She still feels a bit scared when she talks about it.

In the early hours of the 18th, after the US cut interest rates by 75 basis points in an emergency, gold prices fell by $60 in a single day, and then briefly fell below $900, marking the largest single-day drop in 20 years.

If it weren't for the timely retreat, Liu Xiaoli's $100,000 would probably have never even made a splash.

While investors around the world were in despair, she emerged unscathed.

Not to mention the liquidation of Bear Stearns, which further exacerbated the global financial crisis, leaving $1.2 trillion in transactions unsettled.

This became a systemic danger to the US financial crisis, directly impacting companies like Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers.

"Is it that great?"

Liu Yifei's tone became lighter as she listened, "Then you must have made a lot of money, right?"

“43 US dollars!” Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.

"Wow! More than three million!" Liu Yifei exclaimed in admiration, considering it had only been a little over half a month.

"We also need to share with that boy. After all, he's the one who provided the information, and he strongly encouraged me to buy it."

"Of course, that's only right!"

"."

The mother and daughter talked for a long time, but Liu Xiaoli was still worried and decided to go to her daughter's side immediately.

If Qin Xuan hadn't caused such a scene, she wouldn't have dared to imagine what her daughter would have gone through at that dinner party.

But before going to her daughter's place, she called Qin Xuan, but the line was busy. She tried calling twice but couldn't get through because Liu Yifei had called first.

Qin Xuan was at home, preparing to wash his face and go to bed. He had just applied soap to his face when his phone rang. He wiped his hands, glanced at his phone, and said, "Miss Liu, why aren't you asleep so late?"

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Liu Yifei asked in a soft, childlike voice.

"I was just about to go to sleep when you called. That's rare! It's the big star Liu calling me so late at night. I could brag about that." Qin Xuan said jokingly, wiping the foam off his face.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "I just called to chat with you. Are you free? Why don't you go to sleep?"

"Yes! Of course, it would be my honor."
