Chapter 350 is particularly terrifying.
This little incident did not cause much of a stir.
No matter how powerful the Qin family is, Qin Xudong is not yet the head of the Qin family. With the threat from Qin Shibang and his brothers, he dares not be too blatant at the banquet, lest he offend Han Xi and Tang Chen at the same time.
Not long after Fang Li and her group left, Qin Shibang and his friends also disappeared.
Amidst the clinking of glasses and toasts in the banquet hall, few people noticed what was happening.
"Tang Chen and the others are in the lounge. Would you like to join us?"
Han Xi squeezed Fang Li's hand and whispered.
Fang Li glanced at Wen Yang, whose eyes still held some worry, paused, and then smiled: "Director Zhu and the others are here tonight too. I haven't had a chance to say hello to them yet. Why don't you go first, and I'll come over later?"
"...I'll stay with you."
Seeing Han Xi about to pull her towards the film crew's gathering place in the distance, Fang Li quickly grabbed his hand to stop him, "Didn't you say Tang Chen and the others were waiting? I can go to the film crew's place by myself. If you come with me, I'm afraid everyone will feel uncomfortable."
Han Xi looked at her quietly, and Fang Li smiled faintly: "What you just said has already threatened Qin Xudong. I think he shouldn't dare to do anything tonight. Besides, Yangyang and the senior are with you, and Brother Tian is also in the shadows. Nothing will happen."
-
After reassuring Han Xi repeatedly and watching him go upstairs to the lounge, Fang Li then pulled Wen Yang towards a corner of the banquet hall.
"Why do you look so pale? Are you still worried about Qin Xudong?"
The three sat down on the sofa. Wen Yang glanced at the two of them somewhat uneasily, and after a long silence, she finally spoke:
"President Han spoke so casually, perhaps in his eyes Qin Xudong really is nothing, but in the eyes of ordinary people in Beijing, the Qin family is like a plague that will kill you if you touch them, and people will stay far away just by hearing their name!"
Fang Li frowned: "That's so exaggerated?!"
"Do you think!"
Zhou Yufan was also puzzled, "If the Qin family is so powerful, why haven't we heard anything about their deeds during this time?"
"That's because although the Qin family's main residence is in the capital, their businesses are all located along the coast. Apart from some of the older members of the Qin family who still live in the old house in the east of the city, most of the other family members are all over the country looking after their businesses."
Wen Yang continued, "In addition, the Qin family's criminal activities have been largely eliminated over the generations. Now, the Qin family has been doing charity work to clear their ancestors' name of being members of the Green Gang."
“In recent years, the Qin family has kept a low profile. Occasionally, the media will report on them, but it's always something positive and good. It seems that the Qin family is deliberately trying to reduce public attention, so you rarely hear about them.”
"If it's as you say, and the Qin family seems to have reformed and there's nothing wrong with them, why did you react so strongly when you saw Qin Xudong?"
Hearing Fang Li's question, Wen Yang frowned, looking uneasy. "What do you think? That's because what I just said is only what the Qin family wants the general public to know. The real truth hidden behind it is something very few people can see!"
"You mean... everything the Qin family is doing right now is just a facade?"
Wen Yang nodded vigorously, pulled the two of them closer together and said, "I know a lot of media reporters inside and outside the industry. They have a lot of gossip about these prestigious families. There are so many powerful, wealthy and influential families in the capital, but when it comes to the secrets of the elite, none can compare to the Qin family."
"At my previous workplace, our editor-in-chief once said that although the Qin family has appeared much more composed and low-key in recent years, they are actually still running many shady businesses behind the scenes, and not only that..."
Wen Yang's voice was even lower, "Some people also say that the Qin family is privately maintaining an army abroad, and that many people who have offended the Qin family over the years will soon run into trouble due to various accidents. These are all the work of the Qin family!"
"......"
Fang Li and Zhou Yufan exchanged a glance and then looked at Wen Yang.
Wen Yang said anxiously, "What kind of looks are those! You don't believe me?!"
Zhou Yufan scratched his brow with his finger, glanced at the man standing and talking with several people in the distance, stood up and said, "You two chat, I'm going to take a walk."
Watching Zhou Yufan leave, Wen Yang frowned deeply and stared at Fang Li, "If senior doesn't believe what I said, what about you? Don't you believe it either?!"
No, I believe you.
Wen Yang stared at her suspiciously, while Fang Li chuckled: "Of course I believe what you say, but don't forget that you heard this information from other people. If the Qin family really did such a thing, how could it be so easy for others to find out?"
"But... there's no smoke without fire. Putting aside everything else, just look at Qin Xudong. He doesn't seem like a good person. The Qin family is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface."
"Which wealthy and powerful family is simple?"
"Pear, believe me, the Qin family is truly terrifying. You must stay far away from that Qin Xudong!"
Fang Li hooked her arm around Wen Yang's and nodded seriously, "I know, don't worry, even if you didn't say anything, I wouldn't go looking for trouble with that Qin Xudong."
The two sat and talked for a while. Seeing that Wen Yang had not yet recovered from the fear of the Qin family, Fang Li told her and walked towards the place where the film crew was gathered not far away with her wine glass.
"Director Zhu, Sister Hui."
When they saw Fang Li come over, they all stood up and clinked glasses with her.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
Li Huijie must have noticed her minor disagreement with Qin Xudong, because he asked in a low voice.
Fang Li shook her head and gave her a reassuring smile, "It's nothing, just a simple greeting."
"The Qin family is no pushover; you'd better watch out in the future."
I didn't expect Li Huijie to say the same thing.
Fang Li turned her head, met Li Huijie's deep gaze, smiled slightly and nodded, "I understand, thank you."
Next, the group chatted about the script for a while. Zhu Shun and Li Huijie were surprised by Li Fan's recent change. While they were puzzled, they also tried to comfort Fang Li, hoping that she could forgive and forget and stop targeting Li Fan for the time being.
Fang Li could understand their actions. After all, everyone had invested a lot in this drama. Director Zhu was relying on this script to turn his career around, while Li Huijie, as the producer, had to be responsible to all the investors. If the scriptwriters and lead actors got into a fight, everyone would suffer huge losses in the end.
"Rest assured, both of you. As long as Li Fan remains consistent, I will naturally not cause him any trouble."
With her assurance, Zhu Shun and Li Huijie looked much more relaxed, and the group clinked glasses.
At this moment, Li Fan, who had gone out for a social engagement, returned.
