"Wan'er, don't worry. There's no way we can't stop this."
Lin Chang sneered, "Most of the film and television resources in the entertainment industry are in the hands of our Starlight Group."
"If those platforms dare to air Lin Xuan's company's dramas or movies, all our productions will be pulled from their platforms. They wouldn’t dare take that risk."
Lin Qingwan frowned deeply.
Why did she feel so uneasy? She had a nagging feeling that Xiao Xuan was prepared for anything.
Sitting in her office, Lin Qingwan stared at the phone on her desk, hesitating.
If Xiao Xuan found out she was the one behind this, would he blame her?
But if she didn’t do this, he might never return to the Lin family.
She had no choice.
With that thought, Lin Qingwan cast aside her hesitation and picked up the phone, personally calling the CEOs of several major streaming platforms and the owners of prominent cinema chains.
All of them agreed without hesitation.
Offending the Starlight Group for the sake of a newcomer’s films and dramas? It wasn’t worth it.
"Manager Lin, rest assured. We won’t let that kid’s shows air on our Tengfei platform."
"No problem, we won’t host her content on Qiyi APP either."
"Understood, Manager Lin. Our Wanda Cinemas won’t allocate even 0.01% of screenings to Skyline Films."
Lin Qingwan set down the phone and murmured to herself, "Xiao Xuan, don’t blame your elder sister. I’m doing this for your own good. Only when your company collapses will you realize that it was just that woman’s way of trapping you."
"Then you’ll understand that the Lin family is your true home. Once you return, you won’t have to rely on that woman’s support anymore. You’ll be free."
Lin Qingwan’s words almost convinced herself.
Feeling justified, she resumed devising strategies to deal with Skyline Films.

At Shangqing University.
Su Hua watched as Shen Qianqian reached the first floor, where a bespectacled man greeted her personally.
"Miss Shen, please follow me to the office," the academic director said with a smile.
Shen Qianqian’s grades were mediocre—far below Shangqing University’s transfer requirements.
But there was no helping it. Her father had donated an entire academic building to the school. The offer was simply too generous.
Shen Qianqian lifted her chin arrogantly and followed the director into the office in her high heels.
The director personally poured her a cup of tea.
"Student Shen, the transfer procedures will be completed shortly. Please wait a moment."
Shen Qianqian sat on the sofa.
This university was majority-owned by Su Corporation, a fact Shen Qianqian despised. She loathed Su Corporation for promoting a woman who, in her eyes, had slept her way to the top. The very thought disgusted her.
If it weren’t for Lin Xuan attending Shangqing University, she would never have set foot in this vile place.
"President Su, would you like to go to the administration building as well?" the driver asked.
If he remembered correctly, this woman was one of Lin Xuan’s pursuers. Surely, Su Hua wouldn’t pass up the chance to confront a rival.
"Of course I’ll see her," Su Hua chuckled.
How could she not?
A cold glint flashed in Su Hua’s eyes as she picked up her phone and dialed. "Principal."
The Principal answered respectfully, "What are your instructions, President Su?"
In the past, every call from Su Hua had filled him with dread, fearing reprimands.
But now, he wasn’t worried at all.
Every call from Su Hua was about Lin Xuan’s leave requests. This time would be no different.
"Which department handles transfer procedures at your school?" Su Hua asked.
The Principal was stunned.
This time, it had nothing to do with Lin Xuan? Was the sky falling?
And why was President Su asking about this?
"The academic affairs office. The director is on duty today. President Su, if you need anything, I can relay your message to him," the Principal replied deferentially.
Su Hua: "No need. I’ll go directly. Principal, come as well."
"Yes," the Principal agreed. "I’m on my way back to campus and will arrive in about ten minutes. Please wait."
"Any other instructions, President Su?" he added.
Su Hua: "When you arrive, don’t reveal my real identity. Just introduce me as an ordinary employee of Su Corporation."
The Principal was baffled.
Hiding Su Hua’s identity? Was she planning to humble her rival before striking?
After hanging up, the driver asked, "President Su, why didn’t you want Shen Qianqian to know who you are?"
"Because… if she finds out now, she might hold back out of fear. And if she doesn’t act, I won’t have a good reason to retaliate."
If Shen Qianqian didn’t make the first move, Lin Xuan might think her methods too ruthless.
But how could Su Hua let her off so easily after daring to covet what was hers?
Su Hua stepped out of the car and strode straight into the academic director’s office.
"Miss, may I ask who you—" The director, who had only been working for two weeks, didn’t recognize the woman before him as the CEO of Su Corporation.
Su Hua ignored him and picked up the documents on his desk.
"Transfer procedures?" Her delicate brows arched slightly.
Shen Qianqian found the woman’s voice oddly familiar—and infuriatingly pleasant.
She looked up, and her eyes widened in shock at the sight of Su Hua’s breathtaking beauty.
"You fox spirit! What are you doing here?" Shen Qianqian shot up from the sofa.
"I’m here to drop off Ah Xuan for class," Su Hua replied, lips curving into a smile.
The happiness in that smile made Shen Qianqian’s blood boil.
"You think a lowly creature like you has any right to step foot in Shangqing University?" she spat.
"Miss Shen, do I need your permission to be here?" Su Hua laughed lightly.
"Don’t think some mid-level executive at Su Corporation who’s keeping you as a pet can protect you forever!" Shen Qianqian snarled, her eyes burning with hatred.
Every time Lin Xuan had been around before, she’d lost face.
Now that he wasn’t here, who could possibly shield this woman?
Today, she would teach her a lesson she’d never forget.
"Bitch! Let me show you what Shen Qianqian is capable of!"
She raised her hand to slap Su Hua.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ...

Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
