Chapter 447: Chapter 447 She Will Definitely Attend on Time

Shi Yiqing did not conceal anything from him, immediately explaining to him her and the old master’s plans.

Upon hearing this, Quan Sicheng’s face showed a trace of disagreement.

Seeing this, Shi Yiqing became irritated.

She glared at Quan Sicheng discontentedly and asked, "Brother Sicheng, what’s with that look?"

Quan Sicheng hesitated and said, "Do you really want to do this? Public opinion can indeed put pressure on her, but, public opinion is never that easy to control."

Shi Yiqing said she and the old master planned to use public opinion to kill.

But haven’t they considered whether public opinion is so easy to manipulate?

However, right now Shi Yiqing’s mind was clouded by the joy of the upcoming victory, and she wasn’t thinking about these things at all.

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade her, Quan Sicheng couldn’t be bothered anymore; he had his own matters to attend to.

...

Wednesday evening arrived quickly.

The premiere of "Crimson Tears" was scheduled for five in the afternoon today.

Yet the film’s leading actress was still unreachable until four-thirty in the afternoon.

This made Wang Zhehai extremely anxious.

Wang Zhehai paced back and forth like a headless fly, nearly writing the word ’anxious’ on his face, "Still no news from Yaoguang’s side?"

The assistant replied, "No."

Wang Zhehai continued to ask, "What about the Quan Family? Can Quan Sicheng be reached?"

The assistant, embarrassed, said, "The Quan Family seems to be in great discord. Director Wang, you better tread carefully; best not to walk into the line of fire."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhehai scratched his head, his expression one of frustration, "The premiere is about to start, what do we do if we can’t get in touch with her at the designated time?"

"We surely can’t let her be absent, right?"

Upon saying this, Wang Zhehai felt a surge of anger.

Normally, the movie premiere could have been held successfully, and that would have been the end of it.

There wouldn’t have been any issues.

But the problem was, this time someone deliberately caused trouble!

The troublemaker seemed to have targeted Shi Yaoguang, knowing she was powerless to fight back, and attacked her specifically.

Even under normal circumstances, the absence of the lead actors during movie promotion unavoidably breeds suspicion.

It makes people wonder if there are problems within the crew.

Let alone at a time like this.

It goes without saying what kind of consequences it would bring if Shi Yaoguang, the leading actress, failed to show up.

"If Yaoguang can’t attend the premiere today, tomorrow’s headlines will be about internal disputes in our crew, with the leading lady refusing to cooperate with the promotion!"

Wang Zhehai said this, clutching his chest, a wave of distress washing over him.

"No, absolutely not."

He said, slapping his thigh, his expression serious, "I absolutely cannot stand idly by and watch such a thing happen!"

With that, he trembled as he reached for his phone.

The assistant, looking at his actions, felt a bit uneasy.

"Director Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Zhehai: "I’m going to call Third Master Quan and ask."

The assistant wanted to dissuade him, but was silenced by a look from Wang Zhehai.

Seeing that he was determined to make the call, the assistant could only worry for him.

Hopefully, Director Wang wouldn’t be made a scapegoat.

After all...

The Quan Family was obviously no simple matter.

If Director Wang rushed in headlong, one could only hope that Third Master Quan had a high tolerance and wasn’t quick to anger.

...

Quan Mansion.

Quan Jinbei received the call at four-forty in the afternoon.

Upon answering, he replied right away.

"Don’t worry, she will definitely show up when the premiere starts."

Wang Zhehai burst into tears of joy upon hearing this.

This was truly great news!

As long as Shi Yaoguang could appear on time, that was all that mattered.

As for the rest, he didn’t care, and didn’t want to care anymore.

Amitabha.

May Buddha bless us.

Wang Zhehai was here, pleased, yet unaware that Quan Jinbei, who had set his mind at ease, didn’t have much of a clue either.

Would Shi Yaoguang appear on time?

No, he didn’t have that certainty.

But he believed it could definitely be done.

If Shi Yaoguang couldn’t appear at the right time, he would just...

Postpone the premiere.

No matter what, he would not let Shi Yaoguang miss the premiere.

After all, missing the premiere would undoubtedly be a huge loss for Shi Yaoguang.

...

Shi Yaoguang didn’t know that Quan Jinbei had already considered her way out.

In the far south, after experiencing the "Heavenly Tribulation," she had fainted.

Luckily, she found a way to conceal her presence, preventing herself from being observed as a curiosity.

She slept for nearly a day before finally waking up.

Upon awakening, the first thing she did was to check her phone to see what time it was.

But...

By the time she thought to check, she found her phone had been shattered into pieces by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Useless.

She could only try to rush back.

And so, she finally made it back to Mingzhu City before the premiere began.

She didn’t go directly to the premiere venue.

Because...

She didn’t know where the premiere was being held.

...

When Shi Yaoguang returned to Quan Mansion, the butler was discussing with Quan Jinbei how they should handle the subsequent matters.

The internet was full of negative speculation about Shi Yaoguang, all kinds of guesses.

Especially as the time for the premiere approached.

Many were wondering if Shi Yaoguang was too ashamed to show up.

After all, there were paparazzi and fans squatting in advance before the premiere officially began.

Not seeing her at the hotel or the studio, everyone naturally speculated.

Quan Jinbei and the butler were discussing how to postpone the premiere in a way that seemed flawless.

Even for Quan Jinbei, it was not possible to delay it without a reason, although postponing was just a matter of his saying so. To actually do it, it had to be seamless.

Only in this way, Shi Yaoguang’s absence could be beyond reproach.

But finding a "logical" way to postpone the premiere wasn’t easy. It had to be done without raising any suspicion, which was precisely the hardest part.

"Third Master, why don’t we... wait a little longer?"

The butler tentatively proposed.

"Perhaps the madam will be back any moment now."

Quan Jinbei wished Shi Yaoguang would return immediately, but she...

Just as the thought rose, a ring of light suddenly flashed in front of them.

When the light dissipated, there stood Shi Yaoguang.

Quan Jinbei: "!!!"

Butler: "!!!!"

Is this what they call "speak of the devil and he shall appear"?

But...

The madam’s capabilities were, as always, fierce and mysterious.

After a moment of being astounded, the butler quickly came to terms with it.

After all, the image of the formidable madam was deeply ingrained in his heart.

Shi Yaoguang steadied herself and then smiled warmly at Quan Jinbei.

"I’m not too late, am I?"

The butler instinctively refuted, "Not at all, there’s still time!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt a chill at the back of his neck.

Looking back, he met Quan Jinbei’s dangerously narrowed eyes.

The butler came to his senses in a second and scurried off as if the wind was at his heels.

Quan Jinbei watched his retreating figure for a moment, then turned to look at Shi Yaoguang, his tone still tinged with anxiety and concern, "Are you alright?"
