In the afternoon, a sensational announcent was posted on the official website of the Huaxia Film Academy.
In light of the improper behavior of our graduate Dai Qingying, which has caused significant negative impact on the reputation of our school, the school held a eting and voted. Now we announce the following accountability and punishnt for student Dai Qingying:
1. Recall Dai Qingying's diploma
2. Recall Dai Qingying's degree certificate
This notice is hereby issued to rectify the school's atmosphere!
This announcent declared Zhang nglong the official winner in this farce and also marked Dai Qingying's complete disgrace!
That sa night, Dai Qingying received a ssage from her teacher He Li, which contained only a brief four-character phrase: "Take care of yourself." Dai Qingying stared blankly at these words, knowing that this ti she had truly lost and her defeat was utterly devastating!
As the saying goes, "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter." Dai Qingying's fans, one after another, turned from supporters to detractors, fiercely condemning Dai Qingying's absurd behavior. She was the one acting like a diva, yet she played the victim first, attributing all the problems to Zhang nglong.
What infuriated people even more was that incidents from a few years ago were exposed once again, and so fans, who had completely lost faith in Dai Qingying, announced an even more shocking piece of news. The fan harassnt incident involving a male actor with depression was not spontaneous from Dai Qingying's fans but was orchestrated by a few of her die-hard fans at her behest!
For several days in a row, Dai Qingying's house was crowded with angry fans from both sides. Stones and dirt were thrown, smashing her newly acquired luxury ho to ruins! However, Dai Qingying had already disappeared without a trace, and moreover, she would no longer appear in the entertainnt industry, for the Broadcasting Authority had announced a permanent ban on her and had even set up a special task force to investigate her past vile actions.
...
In a greenhouse room of a hotel, Zhang nglong and Wang Ling enjoyed a rare afternoon in the sunshine. The recruitnt of new actors for "Three-Body" was exceptionally smooth, and the new candidate was decided within a week. Although this person wasn't as experienced as Dai Qingying, his character and attitude were approved by the entire cast and crew, and the new filming schedule had already started thodically.
"Ah, as the saying goes, one can defy the will of heaven, but one cannot escape the consequences of one's own actions. It would have been over had she just taken the compensation and left quietly, instead of conducting all this tomfoolery!" Wang Ling sipped her drink as if the incident had long passed.
"People like her, if I didn't deal with her, soone else would," Zhang nglong was very satisfied with the outco, "What brings you to
anyway?"
"This!" Wang Ling placed two invitations on the table, "Invitations to the Royal Frankfurt Auction House. Are you interested?"
"What's so exciting about an auction? I'm not that into art and paintings, you know that. I'm just a layman," Zhang nglong shook his head.
"No, no, no, this auction is not your ordinary auction," Wang Ling said with a mysterious smile, "It's on an island near the Kingdom of Frankfurt. Apart from the usual items, there are also so very special ones."
"What kind of items? Expensive?" asked Zhang nglong.
"Heh, the highlight items, they all start with billions, in Euros no less. This is the Royal Frankfurt Auction House's super auction that happens once every decade. Last ti, there were several retired fighter jets and helicopters, even a missile destroyer was auctioned off, which was bought directly by an entrepreneur from Huaxia!"
"Have you attended before?" Zhang nglong suddenly felt the story sounded sowhat familiar.
"Of course, ten years ago with my old man, but that ti the organizer was in Australia. Look, I even took photos," Wang Ling boasted as she laid the photos in front of Zhang nglong, "Even with your family's wealth, these items are still unattainable, right?"
The photo was of a destroyer that spanned over 100 ters in length. Though it couldn't compare to a row of footprints, on the seas, it was certainly a behemoth.
"This thing has seen battle; it was acquired by the organizers from Arica. Allegedly, its price of construction back in the day reached 1.2 billion US Dollars. Even after stripping away its weapons and equipnt, it still sold at auction for 850 million US Dollars!"
"And there's this, the Tsarist Russia's 160 model fighter jet. After being decommissioned, it sold for a price even higher than its cost of production. Even discounting inflation, just the prestige of turning a fighter jet into a private plane was enough to astound."
"And check this out; I don't know what sort of signal it is, but it's a main battle tank. If you drove this thing down the street, how cool would that be?"
"Are you talking about these?" Zhang nglong grabbed a tablet and played a video.
In the video, a vast, boundless farm spread out below. In the sky, a plane roared past, spewing a rain-like spray of pesticides, but this wasn't a helicopter or an agricultural drone—it was a fighter jet!
"Hold on!" Wang Ling pressed the pause button. He zood in on the video again and compared it with a photo on his phone— they were exactly the sa two planes, and even the sequence of numbers on the fuselage was identical!
"Fuck! Using a fighter jet to spray pesticides, is this a joke?" Wang Ling couldn't help but scoff, "Wait, where is this?"
"It's my family's private farm!" Zhang nglong said, "I was wondering why all this stuff looked so familiar; the Huaxia businessman you ntioned just now is my dad!"
"This..." Wang Ling's lips trembled slightly, how the hell is it your family's again?
"That junk fighter jet, with just so little space inside? To convert it into a private plane, you could only fit a bed. Sure, it flies fast, but it turns out to be pretty efficient for spraying pesticides, though we had to build another runway!"
"Your dad bought a fighter jet to spray pesticides and constructed a runway for it? This thing must've cost more than the plane itself, right?"
"And about that tank!" Zhang nglong moved the progress bar in the video, "Originally my dad wanted to convert it for use on the roads, but then the housing departnt issued a new rule: tracked vehicles aren't allowed on the road, plus it guzzles fuel and isn't as agile as a sports car. So, no choice, we had to bring it here to plow the fields!"
"Plow fields? Your damn family plows fields with a tank?" Wang Ling felt an urge to smash sothing, "And what about that destroyer? Turned into a yacht?"
"Not yet, my dad thought it was too small and plans to grab an aircraft carrier if possible, then convert it into a private cruise ship. That destroyer? It was sent to the South Pacific for fishing, and seafood we eat is usually flown directly from there."
"I'm floored!"
Wang Ling thought that the tycoon who bought those things would put them to so cool use, but he never imagined an ending like this.
Zhang nglong's family's antics were so outrageous that not even Versailles literature would dare to write it!
"By the way, do you think there will be an aircraft carrier on sale this ti?" While Wang Ling was still in a daze, Zhang nglong posed an even more Versailles-style question.
"I...I bought a watch last year! I can't deal with this day!"
