Nine hundred million in termination fees, doubled, would amount to 1.8 billion.
“Alright, I want you to work on increasing that amount during this period,” Si Fuqing said with a cool tone. “Additionally, investigate all the illegal activities committed by Tianle dia.”
She recalled Jiang Changning ntioning that Tianle dia never treated their artists as humans, especially those with lower popularity.
Just last year, four artists under Tianle dia had died—either declared suicides or sudden deaths due to excessive stress.
The company had completely shrugged off any responsibility.
But, of course, things were never that simple.
“No problem, Miss Si,” Ling Feng paused, then chuckled, “You’re very kind, Miss Si.”
Having fought legal battles for many years and encountered various types of people, Ling Feng found soone like Si Fuqing to be quite unique.
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, her tone leisurely, “Perhaps, Attorney Ling, you misunderstand . I’m far from being kind.”
Caught off guard, Ling Feng quickly replied, “I’ll do my best to handle the matters Miss Si has ntioned.”
Investigating Tianle dia, deeply rooted in the entertainnt industry of the Great Xia Empire and entangled in a vast network of relationships, would be a daunting task for Xingting Law Firm.
This was a massive undertaking.
Ling Feng gazed at her phone, contemplating the best strategy.
“What did Miss Si say, Sister Ling?” asked a young man from the driver’s seat, “Is there sothing we need to do?”.
“We’re investigating Tianle dia,” Ling Feng glanced at him, “Get so more people on it.”
“Got it!” The young man agreed enthusiastically and hurried off to make arrangents.
Only four hours after the announcent of Xu Xiyun’s withdrawal from the competition, Wanchuan Entertainnt finally posted on Weibo at nine in the evening.
“@WanchuanEntertainnt: Effective imdiately, our company has terminated the contract with Mr. Xu Xiyun [Image]”
The image showed the termination contract and the company seal.
Fans rejoiced in the comnts.
[Heavens be praised, the contract is terminated!]
[Great news, Xu Xiyun no longer has to endure his new boss’s exploitation.] [Thank you, Teacher Si, for speaking up! Grateful to you!]
[Among so many, only Teacher Si spoke up, weeping with gratitude. Teacher Si is truly wonderful! ]
[Now that Xu Xiyun’s contract is terminated, the next target is Lou Lianghua. Initially, we thought only Wanchuan Entertainnt oppressed Xu Xiyun, but now we see the malice in Lou Lianghua’s heart. This isn’t over until he withdraws from the competition!]
Fans continued their onslaught.
The latest Weibo post of Si Fuqing was filled with uniform gratitude.
But she hadn’t checked the online developnts yet. After leaving the training base, she first visited the largest cetery in Lin City.
At this hour, the cetery was nearly empty, save for the rustling wind. Si Fuqing reached a secluded spot surrounded by tombstones.
She squatted down, setting up two stones and slowly wrote two nas in the dirt—one on each side. Lu Qingning.
Ye Wanlan.
Then, she placed a stick of incense before each na.
“Sister, Little Lu, I’ve co to see you again,” Si Fuqing knelt on one knee, her head bowed slightly. “I’m sorry I haven’t visited in three years and couldn’t pay respects at your actual graves. I hope this makeshift morial won’t upset you.”
The wind stirred, lifting leaves around the stones.
All was silent.
Moonlight bathed the two nas in a pale glow.
“Sister, in the years after your departure, I also died,” Si Fuqing whispered. “But then I ca back to life, finding myself in the Great Xia Empire you often spoke of. It’s a wonderful place, and I’ve t good people who treat well. You don’t need to worry about .”
“Recently, I’ve done so good deeds, much like how you once helped . It’s made quite happy.”
She was five when Ye Wanlan found her.
Ye Wanlan, two years her senior, beca her ‘older sister.’
Lu Qingning was even older than both of them.
Both had taken great care of her, teaching her many things during their school davs.
Until Lu Qingning and Ye Wanlan passed away.
When she was finally able to stand on her own, there was no one left to guide her.
“Our Eternal Quartet, three of us gone, leaving only the Yu surna,” Si Fuqing smiled softly. “But I can’t return yet. I wonder how she has fared these past three years.”
“Given her strength, matching mine, she’s probably fine. When I return, we’ll have our duel.”
“Sister, you and Little Lu, rest peacefully.” She reached out, caressing the two stones, her smile fading into a chilling calm. “I will avenge you.” Si Fuqing sat quietly for a while longer. Once the incense burned out, she erased all traces and left the cetery.
Walking slowly, she took out her phone and called JI Xingzhi, “Hello, yes, it’s . Can you get a gaming pod for ‘Eternity’?”
“Eternity,” a holographic ga.
Linked through VR gaming pods, the neural connections and brainwaves of players are projected into a virtual ga world.
This technology perfectly simulates the five senses: hearing, sll, sight, and so on, making the experience almost indistinguishable from reality.
The only difference lies in the perception of ti.
The activity in the human brain is rapid, and holographic technology leverages this to accelerate ti in the ga world compared to reality.
In “Eternity,” the ti ratio compared to the real world is ?????????????? in normal mode, and it can even reach as high as 10:1 in sleep mode.
JI Xingzhi, pressed for ti, would enter “Eternity” to practice summoning.
Advanced players in “Eternity” could even bring items from the ga world into the real world.
Holographic gaming represents the pinnacle of gaming evolution.
Given the current global technological capabilities, which are still far from achieving such advanced holographic experiences, players of “Eternity” are genuinely elite individuals who traverse the corners of the world.
“Ordinary pods are easily purchasable, but the kind you need has to be customized,” JI Xingzhi responded, surprised. “Tell the truth, big brother, are you being hunted or sothing? Can’t even buy a gaming pod?”
“Sothing like that, it’s complicated,” Si Fuqing didn’t want to delve into it, nodding. “How long for a custom pod?”
“Let check… The JI family doesn’t have any slots right now, I’ll have to look elsewhere,” Ji Xingzhi frowned. “Once I secure a slot, it can be delivered in three months.”
“Okay,” Si Fuqing replied. “Arrange the customization for , I’ll pay you later.”
“Hey, do I need money? Just help out when I’m in a pinch,” JI Xingzhi responded heartily. “But, are you planning a coback?”
“Sothing like that,” Si Fuqing said nonchalantly. “I haven’t logged into ‘Oracle’ for so long, and it’s just a keyboard-controlled ga. ‘Eternity,’ being a holographic ga, must have evolved even more, right?”
“Yeah, a lot has changed,” JI Xingzhi sounded a bit lancholic. “Without you carrying , I can’t access several areas without you. Why are you always a top-level player wherever you go?”
He was finally going to ride the coattails of a pro.
“Yeah, I’ll bring you along,” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “I hear the sound of a plane. You’re back in the country?”
“Just reached the transit station,” JI Xingzhi said. “A few more hours and I’ll be ho. We can et soon!”
He couldn’t wait to et his ‘big brother.’
Wondering what he looked like, JI Xingzhi walked towards the waiting area, his eyes catching an advertisent, “Wow, big brother, look at this star. So good-looking! I swear on my twenty-sothing years of being single, this is the most attractive person I’ve ever seen!”
Si Fuqing responded nonchalantly, ‘What does she look like? To get such praise from you?”
“Hold on, I’ll take a picture,” Ji Xingzhi said excitedly, taking out his phone..
“Nad Si Fuqing, even the na sounds impressive!”
