Chapter 52: apologize

After leaving the entrance of the school, crossing two streets, the nanny car was parked in a remote corner.

Xingchen Qi jumped into the car, pulled off the mask and breathed out, "Didn't meet the media and paparazzi, right?"

"No, it's quite safe here." Ran An replied.

"Okay, wait in place for a while."

Almost half an hour later, Jiaze Qi sneaked over and shouted outside the car door, "Brother."

Xingchen Qi : "...... Uncle Qin, open the door for him."

Jiaze Qi continued to sneak into the car, Xingchen Qi just wanted to ask him why he made a look like the ghosts had entered the village.

As a result, Jiaze Qi opened his arms and hugged him at once: "Holy shit! Brother! It's awesome!"

"...... You let go of me first."

Jiaze Qi shook him twice more, Xingchen Qi was dizzy from his shaking, and asked, "Did you get the stuff?"

"Well, it's all on tape from start to finish!"

"As I taught you to say?"

"Exactly the same." Jiaze Qi smiled invitingly and handed the necklace to Xingchen Qi.

Inside the necklace is the pinhole camera that Xingchen Qi bought this morning, which can be synced to a selected player, with the option of local storage.

He directed the video and watched it from beginning to end, smiled: "Very good, should be enough."

"By the way," Xingchen Qi asked again, " Hao Cui how did you handle it?"

"That grandson, so unlike a man."

Jiaze Qi tongue top jaw, snickered: "He is scared paralyzed, you know what brother, is really paralyzed. Sitting on the floor hugging my leg, begging me not to give the video to the school ...... I thought he'd have to grab the necklace or fight with me, loser."

Xingchen Qi smoothed his brother's hair: "So you're going to give?"

"...... I haven't thought about it yet."

"The actual fact is that you can't be a good person. But remember two things," Xingchen Qi paused, "one, to the end, let him bear the punishment he should bear, do not make a vicious incident; two, absolutely not like the last appeasement, now he thieves, slander classmates, after entering society may become a habitual thief, fraudulent. You do not curb him out of kindness, instead of harming him, can you?"

Jiaze Qi thought quietly for a few minutes and then nodded, "I'll take note of it, brother. I didn't believe you when Ji Yu said it last time, but you've really changed a lot this time."

"...... Maybe it was the time when I fell on my head two months ago, I fell awake, didn't I say that people will see many things clearly between life and death." Xingchen Qi rubbed the tip of his nose.

"No matter what, you will always be my favorite brother," Jiaze Qi hugged him again and sniffled, "Thank you for helping me."

His furry little brain was right next to Xingchen Qi's ear, and Xingchen Qi could hear his strong nasal voice.

In fact, after the Xuan Tao incident came out, he was the one who had the hardest time, right?

He was framed and misunderstood, and no one wanted to believe him except his own brother. When he saw the insults under Yuliang Shang's Weibo, how aggrieved must he be?

How distraught must he be to have endured this until now?

Xingchen Qi lowered the corners of his eyes, rubbed Jiaze Qi hair, and said to himself: I will definitely return you to a clean slate.

.

It was inconvenient to send Jiaze Qi in his current capacity, and the brothers were dismissed in place. Xingchen Qi went to the Public Security Bureau, while Jiaze Qi went back to school to continue his lunch break.

After a morning without food and drink, Xingchen Qi's head was a little dizzy. Fortunately, Ran An bought some snacks while waiting for him, and after filling his stomach, he went straight to the director's office.

The full medical report came out yesterday afternoon at five o'clock, in the way of a dinner party, Xingchen Qi only picked up this morning and sent to the Public Security Bureau in the process of buying the camera.

He thanked the director and took the two file bags and departed back to the set again.

When we arrived at the Oceanarium, it was just in time for lunch. Xingchen Qi walked to the door of the director's lounge and knocked on the door, "Director Shang, this is Qi Xiao, have you finished eating?"

"Finish eating," Yuliang Shang said, "and come in."

Xingchen Qi pushed the door in, and Yuliang Shang was looking at the script. He slapped two file folders and a piece of paper on the table, "Director Shang, I want to talk to you."

"It's because of the microblogging thing," the business director's heart is clear as a mirror, "I did not say who did it, netizen speculation does not count, we will talk about it tonight."

In Yuliang Shang's mind, Jiaze Qi must be the murderer. He didn't name Jiaze Qi directly when he tweeted, so he gave Xingchen Qi a lot of face.

The name was not said, netizens can only guess, not stone hammer. At best, online scolding Jiaze Qi, real life does not create any impact, not online on the line.

"That's because you don't know how serious cyber violence is, no worse than what you think school violence is."

Xingchen Qi understands Yuliang Shang's thoughts. It is normal for people in their fifties to know little about Internet violence as they don't spend much time on the Internet, so he decisively refused, "I can't wait for the evening, I want to talk to you now."

Yuliang Shang opened his mouth to say no after a morning off work today and a very tight afternoon.

It turns out that the eyes of this person in front of you to be more obstinate, fear is not sent away, can only impatiently say: "Well, well, you say it you say it."

Xingchen Qi clears his throat and nods to the table.

"These two are Xuan Tao's medical examination report, and the City Public Security Bureau relied on the medical examination report issued an injury identification letter, it can be determined that Xuan Tao body surface without any trauma."

"Hmm?" Yuliang Shang hesitated for a moment and flipped open the report.

"This piece of paper is a certificate from other students who were present at the time to witness the whole process taking place."

Yuliang Shang tugged the certificate, which read: [I voluntarily testify that Jiaze Qi did not intentionally use the basketball to injure Xuan Tao on x year x month x day].

Below is a row of signatures and handprints, Xingchen Qi added: "The video of their signatures was also recorded, and there is no forgery."

These materials are so real that they can't be true, Yuliang Shang is full of amazement. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water before saying: " Xuan Tao class of the school committee, on that child surnamed Cui, especially sure that your brother smashed Xuan Tao, can it be ......"

Yuliang Shang didn't finish the sentence after the word "can it be", but Xingchen Qi could hear that he still had doubts.

After all, the eyewitnesses are very clear, and Hao Cui is a member of the school board who is trusted by the teachers and students, so it is impossible for him to tell a lie, and there is nothing to gain by telling a lie.

"Then please take a look at this video again." Xingchen Qi pushes the freshly released video from earlier to Yuliang Shang.

When you open the screen, Hao Cui's behavior of hiding his wallet in the lapel of his school uniform, as well as abusing Jiaze Qi and slapping him backwards, is clearly shown in front of Yuliang Shang's eyes.

"This is the second time Ze Jia has caught him with unclean hands and feet ......" Xingchen Qi's face was cold to the extreme, "I forgot to mention that the first time Ze Jia did not want to ruin his self-esteem, so he taught him a lesson and did not tell the teacher. From that day on, Hao Cui has been holding a grudge against Ze Jia. Do you think - is such a study committee member trustworthy?"

"With a muffled bang, Yuliang Shang's cup of tea fell on the table, and tea dripped onto the table.

Xingchen Qi quickly picked up all the evidence and looked for paper towels to wipe the table.

"...... Hey, I now deleted the microblogging, this thing is too impulsive, sorry Qi Xiao."

Yuliang Shang sighed and took out his phone, "I don't know how it happened, I saw Tao Tao dragging off the infusion needle by himself in the morning, and ran to Jing'an to see Xuan Tao's look especially heartbroken, especially indignant, especially anxious, and posted a microblog in a fit of anger. You know I don't know how to use this thing, it took me a few times to figure it out."

"Wait," Xingchen Qi said, "you don't need to delete the blog."

Yuliang Shang confused: "Not to delete easy to cause rumors."

"What you need," Xingchen Qi said in one word, "is a public apology to my brother."

Yuliang Shang froze, as if he didn't hear what he was saying.

Xingchen Qi continued, "As the actor who played Xiao Lin and worked under you, I respect you, love you, and thank you for your teaching and knowledge. But as Jiaze Qi's brother, I am saddened by your actions in assuming Ze Jia is the murderer without conclusive evidence."

" It's true that Ze Jia is not a good student, but he is a good person. Now that the evidence is all in front of you, please tweet a public apology to him."

Yuliang Shang looked at Xingchen Qi with wide eyes, and Xingchen Qi stared at him in the same way, and they confronted each other in silence.

A long time, the room resounded with the sound of ragged gasping breath.

Yuliang Shang was obviously furious: " Qi Xiao, I said I was wrong, don't go too far!"

"You are the one who has gone too far. If you don't apologize publicly, I will put all the information on the Internet. The information is legally binding, and you should be able to tell whether netizens believe me or you."

Yuliang Shang : "......"

"Then I will take back the Beluga Museum and not rent it to you for filming. You can consider the time and cost of re-setting."

"You, you ......" Yuliang Shang growled loudly, "I signed a contract with my previous boss, this is a breach of contract!"

"It's okay," Xingchen Qi said in a rare show of generosity, "I can afford to pay the breach of contract."

"......"

Yuliang Shang has no doubt that if he had a heart condition, he would have died of anger on the spot.

He couldn't believe at all that the seemingly most obedient and youngest actor in the cast was actually the hardest nut to crack.

"...... Qi Xiao ," he said, his brain hurting with anger, "you are also part of the Heart of the Sea, do you want to see it die? Or don't you want to make it?"

This sentence already carries some threatening implications.

Xingchen Qi shrugged: "I don't care, there is a TV series of attempted rape offenders, the broadcast effect is uncertain."

The Sheng Xu case is in the process of gathering evidence, and whether a verdict is handed down or not, the impact of publicity will be considerable.

If Sheng Xu is black, Xingchen Qi is gone again, "Heart of the Ocean" re-cast and re-shoot, the actors only need to pay for breach of contract, word of mouth.

The hardest part is the capitalists and directors.

Xingchen Qi is aware that his behavior is a bit aggressive, Yuliang Shang is so old, his status is there, it is really difficult to make him apologize to a small child.

As capital is the norm, Xingchen Qi thought about it and took a step back: "Either this way, if you apologize, I will find a Top 3 PR firm in the industry to dilute Sheng Xu's influence for Heart of the Sea. This is good for both Tao Tao and you. Let's win together for once, how about it?"

.

Yuliang Shang had no reason to reject Xingchen Qi because the impact of Sheng Xu was too bad and the cost of a remake was too high.

As an actress, although it is natural to protect oneself with legal weapons, society always likes to look at women through tinted glasses, and rumors about Tao Tao are bound to fly around in a short time.

Tao Tao's image and the ratings of "Heart of the Sea", in which she plays a leading role, will definitely drop.

The fact that Xingchen Qi was able to issue an injury assessment in just two hours without taking Xuan Tao's ID card is proof of his ability to do so.

Finally, Yuliang Shang sighs and compromises.

In fact, Xingchen Qi does not want to leave, "Heart of the Sea" is his first time shooting a movie, it is monumental.

And he does not want to give up the exposure of the TV, he is very poor national, need to brush up on the TV.

This is a win-win situation for all three parties.

Yuliang Shang is the kind of straightforward nature, from the usual words of Sheng Xu and Xingchen Qi can be felt. So once the apology was issued, the microblogging shut down, he should shoot the scene, the work to do, except for a little bad face, did not talk to Xingchen Qi in the afternoon, but still normal.

Xingchen Qi took advantage of the time to change clothes to send a message to Jiaze Qi: [ Ze Jia, look at Yuliang Shang microblogging ]

Five minutes later, King: [!

King: [Brother, what are you missing lately]

What's wrong with all the people named Qi? Xingchen Qi speechless for a moment: [Never buy me a gift, I will be angry]

King: [then okay [sad] thank you brother]

Xing Xing : [It's okay, have a good class]

After talking to Jiaze Qi, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground and he felt much relieved. After changing his clothes, he remembered that he had not contacted Ye Bai today.

He promised to reach out to people last night, he looked at the date and clicked on Ye Bai's avatar.

Xing Xing : [You're done shooting today, right?

Bo: [Well, now at the airport].

Airport? [Where to?]

Bo: [S City, attending the East Orange Music Festival the day after tomorrow].

East Orange TV is one of the top three video platforms in China, and the annual East Orange Music Festival is an event that fans across the country look forward to with great anticipation.

I can't believe I forgot about this, Xingchen Qi patted his head, hating himself for being forgetful.

But Ye Bai rarely attends music festivals and such, why is she suddenly going this time?

It's clearly not time to release a new song.

"...... Oh," immediately after he remembered that in "Peach of the Night", the female lead this drama killed when the male lead was recording East Orange TV's talent show variety show.

If we follow the timeline, Tao Tao will be finished in a month and a half. So at this time Ye Bai 80% has already contacted with East Orange, help East Orange to support the scene is normal.

Xingchen Qi Curious: [How many songs do you sing?

Bo: [Three songs

Three songs ..... Xing Xing ：【Final?

Bo: [Well, the finale]

Bo: [It's time, I'm boarding]

Xing Xing : [Good, safe journey]

Xing Xing : [koda duck waving handkerchief.gif]

After posting, Xingchen Qi walked towards the seal training ground with her phone in her hand.

Three songs yeah.

Rounded up, it is a small concert yeah.

Unable to restrain the feeling of stupidity in his heart, he found the notice list for the day after tomorrow.

There is no night play.

He couldn't control it any more and opened the ticketing software -

"Xing Xing," Ran An trotted all the way over, "the machine is all in place ...... You should not play with your phone when you walk, be careful of falling."

"Uh-huh."

Ran An saw him perfunctory and said with his cheek, "What are you looking at?"

"Swipe East Orange Music Gala tickets ......"

"No need to brush up," Ran An bristled, "to tell you the unfortunate news, the day before yesterday tickets have been sold out, yo."

Xingchen Qi : "......"

Chest pain.

But he is not easy to give in, the ticket software can not buy, microblogging may be able to receive a high price. He quit the ticketing software and opened Weibo.

The field notes called out to him: "Hurry up Xing Xing, you're the only one left!"

"Hey, here it comes!"

He shouted while cutting the "Evening love" trumpet, with a swift release:

[Double price for East Orange Music Festival A front row tickets, first row negotiable]

After posting, he tossed the phone to Ran An, braced himself on the railing and jumped into the seal training field.

The task in the afternoon was to make up for the unsatisfactory parts of the pre-shoot, so Xingchen Qi did not have to memorize the lines again, and it was very easy to shoot.

After two hours and six scenes of make-up shooting, it was time for the intermission. He asked Ran An to prepare a wet towel for him, as it was uncomfortable to have sweat on his neck.

Ran An, however, did not go, jumping to his feet and rushing to his side, anxious as a hot pot: " Xing Xing, how can you blatantly ask for tickets?"

Xingchen Qi : "?"

He opened his Twitter client with shaking hands:

-- Xingchen Qi : Double price for East Orange Music Festival A front row tickets, first row negotiable.

.

Xingchen Qi's eyes went black and he almost didn't pass out.

I guess I was too anxious just now, I didn't pay attention to see if the switch was successful, so I tweeted directly.

"Thousands of fans have already helped you to ait East Orange official microblogging," Ran An face is hopeless, "now there must be a lot of black people in the black you porcelain."

"Then I'll hurry up and delete the blog."

"Well, delete it first, then explain. Just say ...... Want to small number to collect tickets, accidentally cut the wrong number."

Xingchen Qi wanted to cry, thinking that this is not a lie.

Indeed, it is.

He quickly deleted the tweet and reposted it as Ran An said. Ten minutes later, he received more than 40 comments.

[Hahahahahaha too cute bah, actually can cut the wrong number]

[@East Orange TV official Weibo, quick, someone is short of tickets!

[emmm Qi surnamed brother sea king heat just went down, and began to find opportunities to make demons?

East Orange is so hard to get Ye Bai, you can't let East Orange go.

Ten minutes can pop out so many black children, you can imagine how Thule next.

Most of all, several netizens cited Ye Bai, making him uncomfortable.

It's better not to look at it, Xingchen Qi shut down the microblog and went back to filming. When the work is done, also like an ostrich to their own stupid behavior, do not hear, do not ask, do not care three no policy.

.

Back at the hotel, Xingchen Qi had dinner while copying Hao Cui's video to Jiaze Qi as promised.

After sending, he put down his phone and continued to eat, but Jiaze Qi called, "Brother, I was trying to find you."

"What's wrong."

"Does your room have a window that faces the coastal plaza?"

The pool is across from White Sands Port, and the coastal plaza is on the other side. It's not a small tourist attraction, but also one of the places where White Sands Port residents go to spend their evenings walking and eating.

The top suite naturally has double-sided windows, and when Xingchen Qi said there were, Jiaze Qi said happily, "Then brother, you go to the window."

Not knowing what the young master was up to, Xingchen Qi put down his chopsticks and opened the window facing the coastal plaza.

"Brother, what do you see when you look out?"

Xingchen Qi observes for a moment: "Runners, square dancers, dog walkers."

"Don't you look down, look up."

Looking up?

Xingchen Qi raised his head as instructed.

The next second, only to see the end of the sky slowly floating over two fiery red hot air balloons. The hot air balloons were lit with huge spotlights, illuminating the two giant red banners hanging below.

The first banner reads: [Huge fucking handsome Xingchen Qi]

The second banner reads: [Take the flower road Xingchen Qi]

Immediately after, the spotlight suddenly burst out a burst of bright light, countless rose petals from the hot air balloon pouring down!

The people in the coastal square were all stunned, taking out their cell phones to take pictures and videos!

Xingchen Qi : "......"

That night, Jiaze Qi was taken away by the coastal police station for an hour of verbal admonishment and a five thousand dollar fine and three days of public service for violating city health regulations and city security regulations :)
