Qin Feng opened his Kuaiyin account to find, indeed, many private messages mocking him; his Kuaiyin comment section had also been overrun.
As the incident fermented, Zhou Ziqing’s identity had already been unearthed—though she wasn’t a wildly popular singer, she had gained some popularity when she participated in competitions.
Moreover, Zhou Ziqing had a personal account on Kuaiyin. It’s just that the operational rights were held by the company. When she was previously put on ice, the Kuaiyin account was almost in a state of non-updating, with 560,000 fans, less popular than some minor internet celebrities.
However, after this incident, Zhou Ziqing’s Kuaiyin follower count quickly surpassed one million, and it was rapidly growing.
In the rented apartment.
Zhou Ziqing never imagined that she would benefit from this situation, and staring at her soaring Kuaiyin followers, she felt a bit dazed.
Just last night, Yang Hao had made a promise that her comeback wouldn’t be hindered in any way, and the recording of her new album was immediately put on the schedule.
She had thought regaining public attention would take a while longer, but unexpectedly, she became popular because of this incident.
“It really is true that good looks are justice!”
“Ziqing, have you seen your Kuaiyin comment section? Everyone is praising your stunning beauty!”
Ye Tingting, beaming with joy, crowded next to Zhou Ziqing with her phone in hand.
“Yeah, I’m looking at it now.”
Zhou Ziqing, though stubborn and unwilling to succumb to unspoken rules, was not much different from other girls in other aspects; she too would be happy about praise from others, and as an artist, she valued such praise even more.
Looking at the comments praising her and the rapidly increasing fanbase, Zhou Ziqing suddenly felt a sense of “having crossed countless mountains in a light boat.”
The gloomy days of being frozen had finally passed, and a bright and splendid future awaited her.
“I never thought Hushang Family would also be one of Director Yang’s properties.”
“No wonder he didn’t even blink when he raised the price yesterday. If it weren’t for the fact that Qin Feng was struggling to match the offers, I bet Director Yang would have kept increasing it.”
“Now everyone online is calling Director Yang a dark and crafty CEO!”
Ye Tingting, still marveling at Yang Hao’s moves from the day before, playfully tugged Zhou Ziqing’s arm after saying this, “Ziqing, our Director Yang has deeper pockets than I imagined. You’ve got to seize this opportunity. I saw Director Yang seemed quite fond of you during dinner last night.”
“I’m looking forward to being the best friend of a CEO’s wife!”
At these words, Zhou Ziqing’s fingers, which were scrolling through comments, paused for a moment. She had a pretty good impression of her boss, Yang Hao. Although they didn’t meet often, each encounter always gave her a sense of security, which was probably related to being “rescued” by him from being shelved.
“Stop teasing me.”
“Didn’t you see those two personal assistants by Director Yang’s side?”
Zhou Ziqing thought involuntarily of the Bai Sisters, Bai Yun and Bai Xue. After accompanying Yang Hao on a visit to the Maetian Entertainment headquarters, the twin sisters had become well-known throughout the company.
Twins were not a rarity, but ones as beautiful as the Bai Sisters were indeed quite uncommon.
Because of their presence, many female artists in the company who had hoped to get close to the new boss had backed off.
They simply didn’t have a competitive edge in comparison.
“Just assistants.”
“They’re not the official ones!”
Ye Tingting shrugged it off carelessly and then added, “Besides, when it comes to figure and beauty, they can’t compare to you, Ziqing!”
“You’ve got to have confidence.”
At this, Zhou Ziqing let out a soft sigh, “But, there are two of them…”
Zhou Ziqing had heard a saying that twins are every man’s fantasy.
If it was one-on-one, Zhou Ziqing would be confident, but she didn’t feel as sure in a 1v2 scenario.
Moreover, from what she had observed before, it seemed that her boss, Mr. Yang, had already developed an intimate relationship with the Bai Sisters, making it even more difficult for her to compete with them.
“Ziqing, I think no matter what the outcome, it’s still worth a try, just to avoid any regrets!”
Ye Tingting tried to comfort her.
“Let’s focus on the new album for now, didn’t you say this morning that people from the PR and production departments contacted you?”
Zhou Ziqing swiftly changed the subject.
She felt that even if she were to have something going on with the boss, she first needed to elevate her status so they could be on more equal footing.
Otherwise, she would just be a nobody, completely dependent on him, a relationship pattern Zhou Ziqing did not like.

In the Chairman’s office.
Yang Hao was sitting on the sofa while Chen Haiou, Song Xuejiao, and Liu Cui were all present.
The three of them reported to him one by one about what they had learned since joining Maetian Entertainment.
Chen Haiou was responsible for the acquisition of the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe. With her previous experience working there and knowing people inside, her work was progressing smoothly; she had drawn up the entire list of layoffs and job transfers.
Chen Haiou in serious mode was quite efficient, which somewhat impressed Yang Hao.
Liu Cui, as the newly appointed head of the Artists Department, had spent the last couple of days sorting out the department’s interpersonal relations and getting to know the company’s artists.
With the help of Lu Chuanyu’s agent, Fang Qin, Liu Cui’s work was also progressing well. However, the workload of the Artists Department was complex, and she would be very busy moving forward.
There was also a minor incident: after being banned, Lu Chuanyu was unwilling to accept it and tried to bribe Liu Cui directly through his connections.
