[I’m not going to add on to this. Just a warning, your account is going to get hacked.]

[You even dared to include her name. Have you forgotten how she removed all the news about herself!!]

[The creator of this post must be inexperienced.]

[Let us light some candles for him.]

[Yes, we should do that.]

…

Magic Lamp was blowing up in the national comic scene.

It was the first time that someone managed to source out all her information.

People in the industry might not be interested, nor could they comprehend her artistic, academic, and IT achievements.

But they would know about Jiang Shanyi who composed for Yan Xi, and QR, the founding member of OST! Furthermore, she was Film Emperor Qin’s niece!

Someone even exposed her as Beijing University’s School Tyrant.

The stories shocked all the netizens.

Editor Shen and a.s.sistant Cao couldn’t believe what they read.

However, before they could continue reading the comments, the post had disappeared.

At the same time, the other netizens had created a new post—

[Huge news!!!]

In half an hour, Qin Ran had stirred up a huge storm on Weibo without doing anything.

…

“No wonder Yan Xi behaved that way…” a.s.sistant Cao said as she took a deep breath. She stared at Editor Shen’s phone, so shocked that she couldn’t continue her sentence.

How old was Qin Ran, anyway?

She wasn’t even 25.

Her bunch of friends… were as impressive as her.

“That’s why she wasn’t afraid that her rights to the movie were contested,” Editor Shen said.

The room was silent, but not in the same way as a couple of minutes ago.

Editor Shen looked at Magic Lamp’s profile picture but didn’t dare to click on her profile.

The top scholar of the college entrance examination, genius physicist, IT talent…

He could understand why the netizens created such a big fuss…

Editor Shen’s phone rang, and he immediately looked at it. It was from the higher-ups of Pinnacle Studios.

“Pick up,” a.s.sistant Cao said smilingly. “Oh, how the tides have changed.”

Over at Pinnacle Studios.

The Mo family head was almost 60, but he was healthy and was fis.h.i.+ng in the countryside.

While he was resting for the evening, he received a cla.s.sified doc.u.ment and immediately rushed to Pinnacle Studios.

Mo Zhihen was still cleaning up the headquarters. When he heard that the family head had requested a meeting with the higher-ups, it felt strange. But he stopped what he was doing.

He was happy as he wanted to discuss the rights to Pinnacle Studios with his grandfather.

The company’s higher-ups were ready and waiting for Old Master Mo’s arrival.

Mo Zhihuai was there as well.

Mo Zhihen smiled when he saw him. He then announced to everyone, “I’ve settled everything with Editor Liu about Pinnacle Studios.”

“Big brother,” Mo Zhihuai said as he looked up, “you…”

“Third Young Master, you’re being too emotional. It was critical to work with the Qin family, how could you have chosen Magic Lamp? Both the netizens and the Qin family are enraged. Thank goodness that Eldest Master solved the issue for you. Else, our effort to establish a working connection with the capital would have been wasted,” one of the higher-ups said. “Let’s remove the third young master from the CEO position when the family head arrives.”

Mo Zhihen smiled as he heard that.

Everyone was talking to Mo Zhihen and Editor Liu.

Previously, the Mo family didn’t want to express their support openly. This was because Mo Zhihuai had achieved a remarkable feat by acquiring Pinnacle Studios. Hence, quite a number of the higher-ups supported him.

But who would have known that he’d ruin it? Now, only those closest to him would speak to him. Everyone else only talked to Mo Zhihen.

Suddenly, the Mo family head entered the room.

“Grandfather.”

“Chairman.”

Everyone in the meeting room stood up.

Editor Liu dared to argue with Mo Zhihuai because he didn’t have anyone to support him. But he respected the Mo family head a lot.

Old Master Mo nodded and disregarded Mo Zhihen who was trying to speak to him. He then turned to Mo Zhihuai and said, “Zhihuai, why have you returned? Have you settled everything?”

Mo Zhihuai was surprised as well. But he immediately answered, “Grandpa, regarding Magic Lamp who was under Pinnacle Studios…”

Old Master Mo bowed towards him and answered, “I’m aware of everything. I have asked to cancel breaking the contract for your cousin. I understand that you are close to Magic Lamp. Please ask her to return to us. We’ll have to rely on you to establish a connection between our family and the capital…

“It’s not too late. Zhihuai, go contact the Qin Corporation headquarters regarding the contract,” Old Master Mo said as he asked his subordinates to send Mo Zhihuai off.

Everyone was shocked by the Mo family head’s reaction after what had happened on the internet.

After Mo Zhihuai left, Mo Zhihen burst out uncontrollably. “What’s the matter with you, Grandpa?! This is our chance to contact Continent M. The Liu family has successfully contacted them…”

Old Master Mo finally turned around after Mo Zhihuai was out of sight. He took a long look at the higher-ups of the Pinnacle Studios and then stared at Mo Zhihen. He then said, “Why are you so dumb this time? Why are you breaking the contract with Magic Lamp?”

“Grandpa, Third Bro has abused his authority regarding Magic Lamp’s contract with us. The netizens scolded us and the Qin Corporation didn’t want to help. I…”

“Are you even aware of the reason why the Qin Corporation was willing to cooperate with us?!” Old Master Mo slammed a pile of doc.u.ments on the desk angrily. “The Liu family pa.s.sed me this information just now. I’ve asked you to figure out the truth, and yet you canceled our contract with her. Do you have any idea who Magic Lamp is? Qin Ran! The Qin Corporation’s chief engineering officer, the Eldest Lady of the Qin family! She was the one who initiated the contract. Or else, it wouldn’t happen in the first place! What’s the point of trying to slander her? Have you lost your mind?!”

Everyone knew that the Qin family was rising and threatening the Cheng family. But not many knew that the reason behind their rise was because of the eldest lady.

Mo Zhihen was shocked by what the Mo family head said.

He glanced at the stack of doc.u.ments that the Mo family head threw on the table.

Magic Lamp, Qin Ran…

He had investigated Magic Lamp’s ident.i.ty. He knew that her last name was “Qin”, but he never thought that she was from the Qin family.

Who would have thought that the most low-profile writer in Pinnacle Studios… was the Eldest Lady from the Qin family!

Mo Zhihen’s mind went blank for the shock.

Old Master Mo left to look for Mo Zhihuai after venting his frustration.

Now that the Liu family had established connections with the capital, the Mo family mustn’t upset the Qin family. Mo Zhihuai played a fundamental role in this.

Everyone in the office was just as shocked as Mo Zhihen…

Everything was over…

Mo Zhihuai would have a bigger say in the family’s matters from now on.

Everything was going to change in Shanghai…

…

As compared to them.

Mu Zining was the most affected one.

As she constantly checked on Weibo, she was really happy when she saw that the numbers of her followers were increasing.

However, after the incident, her Weibo exploded.

Someone from the Mo Corporation exposed that she was the one that relied on connections to get to where she was today. She couldn’t even hide the fact that she liked her own unofficial account…

Hence, everyone was making fun of her over it.

Especially when her fans insulted her by saying “Didn’t Magic Lamp know that Yiyi Zining has tens of millions of fans?”

Because of her accomplishments and her relations.h.i.+p with Yang Fei, Film Emperor Qin, and Yan Xi, not even Film Emperor Qin could compare with her in terms of gaining fans.

If you’re thinking of making fun of Qin Ran for having few fans.

You must be crazy!

Comments about Yiyi Zining increased by the second.

She immediately posted an apology.

But she could never erase the like she gave to the post which hinted that Qin Ran had to give s.e.xual favors.

Her personal branding of a beautiful comic artist was destroyed.

Mu Zining didn’t know what to do.

Then, she immediately remembered what Butler Mu said to her.

She wanted to gain the Old Master’s favor today, so she stayed in the Mu family house. She went down to find Butler Mu, knocked on his door, and asked, “Butler Mu, what was the Qin family that you were talking about just now? Could you tell me more about it?”
