“And your friend mustn’t have told you that Xia Hanmo helped everyone resolve difficulties along the way and volunteered to walk last, just so she could ensure everyone’s safety, right?”
“Your friend knows nothing. In fact, he didn’t know that Xia Hanmo’s manager had a fever and was suspected of carrying a virus, causing the two of them to be abandoned by the rest of the crew.”
“This…” the reporter was suddenly rendered speechless. He never expected this to be the truth.
“My agency’s manager, Lin Qian is still unconscious. If they still have a bit conscience, they better not use this incident to create hype. Otherwise, Superstar Media will let them learn the meaning of regret.”
After speaking, Emma turned around and glanced at Xia Hanmo. She then said to the reporters, “I’ve already said what I should. Please clear the way.”
Everyone knew that Emma could not be offended, so the reporters immediately cleared a path for her and the others to leave.
Eric walked ahead and shielded his wife as he glanced at the reporter to note down his name.
Zhou Qing’s prediction was right.
Someone was afraid that they’d be exposed for abandoning one of their own, so they tried to jump in first…
Meanwhile, the disaster continued and the flood was as strong as ever.
Because it was such a serious disaster, people from all walks of life paid close attention to it. So, after Emma provided her explanation once, she did not ask Xia Hanmo to further elaborate. Instead, she told her to assist the police in rescuing people by helping them understand the terrain. Afterwards, Superstar Media donated a large sum of money for disaster relief.
With the efforts put in by Superstar Media, the other artists couldn’t say a thing once they arrived back in New York. Only one artist tried to make up excuses, but the public quickly deemed them as creating hype and the artist quickly gave up.
…
Meanwhile, Lin Qian slept for an entire day before finally waking up. When she awoke, she was already in Li Jin’s villa.
Lin Qian couldn’t remember anything that happened after she fell asleep. It seemed, her illness wasn’t light.
“You’re finally awake,” Li Jin said as he pushed open the door carrying a bowl of plain congee. “Have some. Otherwise, you won’t have any energy.”
“How’s everyone else?”
“They’re all fine,” Li Jin replied gently before he placed the bowl of congee into her hands. “You have a good boss.”
“What do you mean?”
Li Jin was referring to how Emma scolded the reporters at the airport. Actually, from the moment that Emma flew all the way to the disaster zone, it was already clear to see that she honestly cared about her staff and wasn’t putting on an act.
“You can figure it out yourself when you feel better,” Li Jin couldn’t be bothered with the happenings of the entertainment industry, he simply cared about his woman.
Lin Qian nodded her head and took a few sips of the congee. But, it was simply too plain, so she didn’t have much of an appetite.
“After you feel better, you should come to the military base to do some training.”
“Huh?” Lin Qian was a little surprised.
“Otherwise, you will be a burden for your artist.”
Lin Qian didn’t want to accept what Li Jin said. Even though it was the truth, did he have to be so straightforward?
“I’m not going.”
“You are family, so you must go,” Li Jin said with a sense of dominance.
“I don’t like being forced.”
“Then you should listen to me. If I hadn’t arrived at the village in time, who would have saved you?” Li Jin’s voice softened a little. “You should at least learn a few things about basic survival.”
Lin Qian could tell that Li Jin had already come to a compromise, so she nodded her head, “OK. Once I have free time, I’ll go.”
The couple suddenly fell silent because they didn’t have many common topics of discussion, so Lin Qian started to feel a little awkward, “You’ve already wasted about two days…aren’t you busy?”
Li Jin did not respond. As he placed a set of spare keys on the bedside table, he suddenly leaned over and gave Lin Qian a hug. He then stood back up and said, “After I leave this time, I may not return for another 5 days.”
Lin Qian’s face flushed red as she nodded her head, “I’ll return home after I feel better.”
“You should just move over here…”
“Huh?”
“I’m not home often, so you don’t need to worry about feeling awkward.” After speaking, Li Jin turned and left, leaving Lin Qian all alone with mixed feelings.
Although she had no parents, it didn’t mean that she was a casual person that would easily agree to a man’s invite.
So, Lin Qian simply glanced at the spare keys but did not take them.
After Li Jin left, she packed her things and returned to the apartment that she shared with Xing Lan.
“My God, you’re finally home…” Xing Lan ran over to help her. “I spoke to Emma and she said that you were at my cousin’s house. This time, he rushed over to the village to save you, were you moved by his actions?”
“I’m dizzy,” Lin Qian massaged her forehead as she sat down.
“So, how far have you guys progressed?”
“Quick, tell me.”
“Quick…”
Unable to stand Xing Lan’s questioning, Lin Qian decided to be honest in the end, “When I was up on the mountain and almost dying, Li Jin appeared before me. At that moment, I truly felt that I should place the rest of my life in his hands. I admit that I feel differently about him. But, he’s too dominating.”
“You’re used to being wild, so you require a man to take control of you,” Xing Lan laughed. “Regardless…one who survives a disaster is destined to good fortune.”
Lin Qian shook her head and said in a frustrated tone, “I don’t see any signs of fortune…”
…
Two days after the flood passed, the public’s reactions returned to normal. Which meant, the other artist’s that were stuck on the mountain with Lin Qian and Xing Lan, could finally resurface. But, the only thing they spoke about, was how dangerous the flood was and how frightened they were. No one dared to mention that they had abandoned Lin Qian.
Except for one person, Zhou Qing.
While undertaking an interview, Zhou Qing told the reporters, “This time, we must thank Hanmo. Hanmo lives up to her identity as an artist from Superstar Media. Because of her experience in surviving in the wild, she saved all of us.”
“In that case, Zhou Ge, what do you have to say about the things that Emma mentioned to the reporters previously? Was what Emma said true?”
Zhou Qing knew he wouldn’t be able to escape this question, so, after a few seconds of silence, he lifted his head and replied, “I think, when faced with a disaster like this, everyone is bound to be frightened. Because of this fear, many people will make selfish decisions to avoid harm.”
“At that time, Lin Qian had a fever and Hanmo was simply ‘intimidating’ her into being obedient. But, someone happened to overhear her and got scared. It was a normal reaction.”
“Of course, going ahead and leaving the two women behind, was a disgraceful act by all of us, including myself. I hope no one tries to deny this.”
“One must admit to their wrongdoings.”
“So, I want to officially offer an apology to Han Mo and her manager, Lin Qian.”
“I’m sorry.”
Zhou Qing had always been on Xia Hanmo’s side. Back when the incident occurred, he left because he had to ensure that the idiots didn’t get lost or abandon another person along the way. But, he did not intend to fight for his innocence because he was level-headed and wanted to settle the matter.
So, Zhou Qing’s words clearly verified what happened on the mountain that day.
Xia Hanmo had indeed helped everyone, but everyone ended up abandoning her and Lin Qian.
In an instant, Zhou Qing’s words ignited the anger of fans. But, this was only the minority. Most of the fans left messages on Superstar Media’s social media account, asking for Xia Hanmo and Lin Qian to forgive their idols’ cowardice.
Of course, due to this incident, the public’s imp**ssion of Xia Hanmo further improved.
“I never thought that Xia Hanmo would actually have the ability to think on her feet and save so many lives.”
“I had heard that she was good at survival techniques. It turns out, it wasn’t a lie.”
“I finally see the good side of Xia Hanmo. What’s this? I actually want to be her fan now.”
Meanwhile, Emma was respected as a boss after the public found out that she had rushed to a town near the disaster zone just to see her artist. Taking into account the way that she dealt with the reporters after she returned to New York, she suddenly created a high and mighty image for herself.
“I must say that Emma isn’t only a good artist, she is also a great boss. She also has highly talented artists under her management. Superstar Media deserves to be noticed.”
“Emma exists to change what we know about the entertainment industry.”
As a result of the incident, Emma, Superstar Media, Xia Hanmo and Zhou Qing all experienced different degrees of attention. So, their fame also increased.
