Of course, the Film Screening Bureau’s orders couldn’t be defied. But if this drama didn’t make money, it meant that… the entire production team would face losses.
It would amount to more than 200 million yuan.
Even if he sold himself, it wouldn’t be enough to cover the losses.
“You can leave.” Director Jiang’s voice was hoarse as he waved his hand at the staff. He collapsed on the sofa, as if he had lost the strength to support himself.
Many people were waiting for this drama to be released. In the end, after waiting for a few days without any news, they realized that it had been banned from broadcasting by the Film Screening Bureau.
“It’s banned?” Xian Yu’s manager was shocked to hear this news.
Banning the broadcast wasn’t a small matter. But now that the situation had changed, banning the broadcast meant that it would be beneficial to Xian Yu.
The contract signed with the production crew at that time was a profit-sharing arrangement, so the performance of this drama has a significant impact on all the lead actors as well.
They could even use this matter to cause trouble for the production team.
For some reason, the manager instantly thought of what Murong Qiao had told him a few days ago.
“Why are you in a daze?” Someone muttered, pulling the manager back from his wandering thoughts.
The manager quickly turned his body to let the other party pass, but there were more guesses about Murong Qiao in his mind.
Did she do it? Xian Yu’s sister is so powerful?
Murong Qiao didn’t pay attention to what happened next, but she knew the outcome without thinking.
At this moment, she was in the dormitory, making up for the notes she had not finished today.
“The person who came to hold talks at Hui University this year is so handsome!” Yang Xin screamed excitedly.
The talk she was talking about was an event held every year by Hui University. However, it had always been extremely boring and usually no one would attend. However, it was different this year.
Someone found a photo of the person holding the talk and posted it on the forum, attracting the students’ attention.
Leng Yan’s attention was attracted and she turned around and borrowed Yang Xin’s phone to take a look. Suddenly, her face turned red.
“He’s quite handsome,” Leng Yan muttered softly.
The post at the top of the forum was a photo of a man in a white coat. The image was blurry, but it didn’t affect the man’s abstinent and cold aura.
Even though a portion of his face was covered by his mask, his clear eyes were enough to make one’s imagination run wild.
“It’s a pity that they’ve only managed to capture the side of his face.” Yang Xin clicked her tongue. She really felt that this person was extremely good-looking.
The forum was also filled with wild shrieks and howls of people clamoring to attend the lecture.
“Is Hui University finally enlightened? They actually grasped my weakness this time. Damn it!”
“Young, promising, and handsome. I suddenly feel like I can attend lectures again!”
“Wuwuwu, my phantom limb is moving!”
Clearly, this talk had greatly aroused the interest of the students.
Murong Qiao also saw the photo, but she was surprised to recognize that it was her second brother, Murong Zheng.
Hearing Yang Xin and Leng Yan’s enthusiastic discussion, Murong Qiao suddenly said, “He’s even more handsome in person.”
“In person?!” Yang Xin caught Murong Qiao’s words and came over excitedly.
There was obviously something wrong with Murong Qiao’s words!
“Do you know this handsome man?” Yang Xin asked her with her eyes wide open.
She always seemed to like pouncing on people. Murong Qiao didn’t dislike it.
“Not only do we know each other, but we’re also very familiar with each other.” Murong Qiao smiled and answered seriously.
However, her words whetted the appetite of the others. Yang Xin and Leng Yan’s hearts were like cat claws, itchy and uncomfortable.
Leng Yan couldn’t care less about what she had yet to finish as she moved her chair over and waited for Murong Qiao’s next words with Yang Xin.
“He’s my second brother, Murong Zheng.” Murong Qiao didn’t want to leave them hanging and explained their relationship.
“Such a handsome person is your second brother?!” Yang Xin sighed exaggeratedly. “Why do I feel that all the handsome men in the world are gathered in the Murong family—”
Leng Yan nodded in agreement, her expression envious. “Then Qiaoqiao must be very happy at home.”
It must be really nice to have such eye-catching brothers to look at every day. If it were her, she would wake up from her dreams with a smile every morning.
The three of them spoke loudly, and Zheng Yue heard every word.
She gripped the pen in her hand tightly, no longer in the mood to write notes.
It seemed like this was always the case. Murong Qiao would naturally attract people’s attention, while she had to work hard to study. Every day, she had to save and run around for a bit of money.
She didn’t even dare to order meat dishes to eat.
Zheng Yue bit her lip and put on her earphones again. She turned the volume to the maximum, not wanting to hear the voices of the outside world.
However, the three of them didn’t notice Zheng Yue’s abnormality as they continued talking excitedly about Murong Qiao’s second brother.
“No wonder you have such high standards. It turns out that you’re tired of seeing good looking people. You have such good looking brothers at home.” Yang Xin made a joke, but it was the truth. “How many big brothers do you have?”
They had never liked to probe into people’s families, just like Zheng Yue, lest they hurt people’s hearts.
However, since Murong Qiao brought it up, Yang Xin couldn’t help but ask this question out of curiosity when she thought of the looks of the person in the photo.
“I have five Big Brothers,” Murong Qiao replied subconsciously.
But after saying that, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but think of the three brothers of the Nan family.
It was different from what she had imagined. Recalling the past didn’t make Murong Qiao feel much. She would still think of the harm that Nan Xuan and the others had done to her, but she no longer had any kinship with them.
They were no longer her Big Brothers.
This thought only lasted for a moment before Murong Qiao threw it to the back of her mind.
“I’m really envious of you for having so many Big Brothers.” Leng Yan looked at Murong Qiao enviously, her words sincere.
Other than her, Leng Yan had a younger brother in the family. Her family favored boys over girls, so they didn’t care much for Leng Yan.
At this moment, when she heard that Murong Qiao actually had five Big Brothers and from her tone, she knew that she was very doted on. She couldn’t help but envy such a fate.
Yang Xin’s thoughts developed in another direction.
She vaguely remembered reading the discussion on the forum previously that the Murong Family of Shengjing Corporation also consisted of five brothers.
Then, she thought of the family situation Murong Qiao had mentioned just now and felt that Murong Qiao’s family was very similar to the legendary Murong Family.
“Your family sounds similar to the legendary Murong Family,” she teased Murong Qiao half-jokingly.
It was said that the Murong Family had even found their daughter some time ago.
Yang Xin looked at Murong Qiao and felt that it was impossible. How could there be such a lucky thing in the world that the daughter of the Murong Family was beside her?
Unexpectedly, Murong Qiao looked at Yang Xin and blinked playfully. “Who said I’m not?”
“I knew it…” Yang Xin subconsciously thought that Murong Qiao was denying it, but before she could finish speaking, she reacted. “You are?!”
She looked at Murong Qiao in surprise.
Leng Yan couldn’t speak either. She looked at Murong Qiao in a daze and rubbed her eyes to look at her carefully, as if this was the first time she had met Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao was the daughter of the Murong Family?!
However, Murong Qiao seemed to not know how big a bomb she had thrown down. She nodded and admitted this.
“I’m a child of the Murong Family, and it’s the Murong Family you’re thinking of.” Murong Qiao admitted this honestly.
However, the truth that she said made Yang Xin and Leng Yan feel as if they had been struck by lightning. They were speechless for a moment, and their minds were completely blank. They immediately found it difficult to digest the information Murong Qiao had given them.
Yang Xin felt that her pig brain had been overloaded. Her CPU had been burned to death..
