After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 311 - 305: Stand Down or Stand Up

Qiong Hai’s assistant was the first to call out, "Brother Liu."

"Qiong Hai, are you tired of living the good life the past two years and looking to get yourself killed?" Brother Liu’s face was full of anger after traveling all night, and he was also furious at Qiong Hai’s incompetence.

"I told you to follow him to keep him in check, is this how you handle it?" Brother Liu finished reprimanding Qiong Hai, then turned and berated the assistant.

"Brother Liu, I can’t stop Brother Hai even if I wanted to..." The assistant replied with a bitter smile.

"Brother Liu, let’s solve this issue first. I’m standing here, and you can hit or scold me as you wish, okay?" Qiong Hai said, scratching his head in frustration.

Brother Liu also knew he couldn’t blame the assistant for this. He was well aware of Qiong Hai’s nature, and that’s why he was even more overwhelmed now.

He had advised Qiong Hai earlier to restrain himself, yet this mess still occurred!

Being photographed at the venue was inevitable!

"Pei Yan didn’t hide what he did. Anyone with a keen eye could find out, clearly telling us he was the one who set you up. Can you explain what you did to offend him? He’s usually the kind who doesn’t bother with such trivial matters. If he wasn’t truly provoked, he wouldn’t specifically target you in this way." Brother Liu narrowed his small, single-lidded eyes as he stared directly at Qiong Hai.

Qiong Hai didn’t respond.

Brother Liu shifted his gaze to the assistant, "You tell me."

The assistant glanced at Qiong Hai before speaking, "Brother Hai asked me to investigate Qin Yun, wanting her unable to stay in the industry."

"Qin Yun? That name sounds familiar." Brother Liu mused.

"Isn’t Qin Yun known for riding on others’ popularity and using it to step on them, gaining fame? I remember the actress who played against you has the same name, right? I was worried she’d latch onto you for attention. Why would Pei Yan step in for her? Do they have something going on?" Brother Liu asked with a frown.

"Cough, cough, Brother Liu, Qin Yun is now an artist under Pei Yan’s Studio." The assistant quickly replied, choking on his words.

"Have you started acting? Before doing anything, can you please check in with me? I need to know the reasons for cleaning up the mess!!" Brother Liu cursed, exasperated.

"Not yet, we just started looking into her. What we’ve found is mostly already exposed online, so we haven’t had the chance to act." The assistant said, even more helplessly.

"If that’s the case, Pei Yan probably won’t be too harsh, just trying to scare you? That’s unlikely; given the current pace, the other side aims to crush you! And they blatantly told you, fearing you wouldn’t know who was behind it! Clearly, there’s no intention of settling peacefully."

"Qiong Hai, be honest with me, what else have you done? Did you lose control of yourself?" Brother Liu immediately realized the seriousness.

"On the first day of filming, I might have touched Qin Yun’s waist, but that shouldn’t be it, right?" Qiong Hai suddenly remembered the incident.

At the time, he even got slapped twice by Qin Yun!!

That slap hurt for two days before it got better.

Even now, thinking about that slap still made his face ache!!

"You knew she was Pei Yan’s person, yet you... Why don’t you just chop off yours and stop causing trouble!!" Brother Liu’s complexion changed dramatically upon hearing this.

"I was just joking with her at the time, and I got slapped twice for it!! How is she wronged in this at all!" Qiong Hai retorted, feeling wronged.

"You harassed the studio’s artist! And now you’re trying to make yourself look right?" Brother Liu couldn’t believe it, his eyes widened incredulously. Though they weren’t particularly large, the expression had a touch of humor. He relied on this likable face to pull resources in the industry.

Having learned the backstory, Brother Liu decisively said, "Go apologize to Qin Yun. If you can earn her forgiveness, there might be room to maneuver. Do you want to be crushed, forced out of the entertainment industry, or do you want to continue to stay in this circle? If you want to continue, listen to me. Even if you manage to escape this crisis without sinking, one word from Pei Yan can completely block any path for you in the industry."

"Either face it head-on or back down! You don’t have anyone backing you, so you’re just at others’ mercy." Brother Liu sneered.

He’s been in the industry for many years, seen countless people come and go, and knows capital shows no leniency.

Pei Yan is one of the more straightforward ones among the capitalists.

"Besides apologizing, is there no other option?" Qiong Hai asked hoarsely, with bloodshot eyes focused on Brother Liu.

"Pretty much, even if you have dirt on Qin Yun to drag her down, as long as Pei Yan doesn’t give up on her, he can still buy scripts, set up productions, and promote her as the lead actress. With enough money and willingness to elevate her, she can still clean up her image. Internet memory is fleeting; in a couple of years, it will all be forgotten." Brother Liu sighed.

"But it’s different for you. If you’re crushed this time, the company will definitely abandon you. You’ll face a pile of compensations, and there’s no chance for a comeback. What you’ve earned so far won’t even cover the damages." Brother Liu sincerely advised.

After all, he brought him up from scratch, and he’s made quite a bit for him over the years. He has some genuine sentiment, naturally not wishing for him to go down like this.

"What if Qin Yun doesn’t forgive me?" Qiong Hai asked hoarsely.

Brother Liu: "..."

He sighed, giving him a deep look, "Then you can only hope the other side doesn’t have solid evidence on you."

"For now, stay off Weibo. From now on, I’ll handle it. Soon I’ll arrange a place to invite Qin Yun for a meal, to see if we can settle this." Brother Liu continued.

Qiong Hai didn’t respond, knowing it wouldn’t matter if he did.

Meanwhile, Qin Yun woke up naturally since she didn’t have to go to the set today, and was now just getting ready, brushing her teeth and washing her face.

Yuanyuan took out the breakfast she brought and didn’t forget to tell Qin Yun, "Sister Yun, you have no idea how lively Weibo has been this morning."

"Qiong Hai’s fans were initially defending him fiercely, but now that the second scandal has surfaced, they’re hesitating. Some have even started to turn against him." Yuanyuan chuckled.

Qin Yun came out after freshening up, "Is it that exciting?"

"Didn’t he pull that sleazy hand move last time? Though you slapped him twice, it still felt uncomfortable. Now that everything’s exposed, it turns out he’s done this kind of thing often!!"

Yuanyuan said, turning around to admire Qin Yun’s glowing fair skin, with envy in her eyes, "Sister Yun, can you tell me how you achieve such flawless bare skin?"

"Eat more." Qin Yun naturally picked up a pair of chopsticks, popped a dumpling into her mouth without a care for her image.

Yuanyuan: "..."

Thanks for the invitation, I realize now it’s not for me.
