Chapter 708: Chapter 708: The Person in Front of My Eyes is My Beloved (2)_1

The public opinion was too intense, so intense that many investors and partners couldn’t withstand the pressure. They began to publicly state that they would no longer cooperate with Qin Shujian in the future.

Those who were once eager to cooperate with Qin Shujian, were relieved that they hadn’t. Those who had successful partnerships were now consulting attorneys to dissolve their contracts with Qin Shujian, and demanding compensation.

From the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year to the last second of the fourth day, Qin Shujian received over a hundred termination contracts and claims for compensation within these short three days.

All across the city, billboards advertising Qin Shujian began to be taken down. Many of Qin Shujian’s fans on the internet even posted photos showing them burning or ripping up photos and posters they had collected of her over the years.

The once-legendary Qin Shujian, who was widely admired, had now become a pariah bathed in public scorn.

Without any prior discussion, everyone silently agreed that Qin Shujian was done... so thoroughly done.

Some productions that were originally planning on casting Qin Shujian as the female lead, started looking for a replacement, others have already announced who the new female lead would be.

For Qin Shujian, the first four days of the new year were like torments of hell, every single minute was unbearably painful.

Despite the pain, despite the struggle, she endured until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year — the day of her press conference.

On this day, after four gloomy days, Beijing suddenly cleared up. Although it was winter, the bright sunshine brought a touch of warmth to people’s hearts.

Qin Shujian’s press conference was scheduled for 2 p.m.

Because her case had caused such a stir, and she was already highly known, by noon, the conference venue was already jam-packed with reporters.

Without exaggeration, regardless of their reputation, every media outlet tied to journalism sent representatives.

At 2 p.m. sharp, Qin Shujian, who hadn’t appeared publicly for ten days since the airport incident, finally showed up.

Just as she walked into the venue, the reporters’ eyes were already gleaming with excitement. Soon, countless flashes were set off, followed by a constant chorus of clicks. Qin Shujian walked to the center of the stage, standing in front of the microphone.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, Qin Shujian, who was accustomed to the flash of cameras and audience, was somehow nervous when she saw the sea of people before her.

Today, she was wearing a simple black dress with no jewelry. She didn’t have any makeup on her face either. Due to her lack of sleep these past few days, the dark circles under her eyes were prominent, her complexion looked pale, almost sickly.

After Qin Shujian appeared, the host gave a brief introduction, and then handed all the speaking rights over to Qin Shujian.

Facing the gazes of everyone in the room, Qin Shujian felt a sense of panic. Her instinct was to flee, but when she saw Cheng An standing outside the crowd of journalists, she controlled her impulse to hide.

She had thought about what she would say at the press conference, but once she was actually standing there, she found herself unable to speak.

She had never defended herself before, so she didn’t even know how to start.
