She wore a puzzled expression.
What was going on?
Why hadn’t the chairman reacted at all this time?
Had she not flirted hard enough?
The secretary began using every trick in the book to seduce Lin Chang.
Still nothing.
Not even a hint of a reaction!
Lin Chang’s face darkened, his voice low and heavy as he said, "I’ve been a bit tired lately. You can leave now."
"Yes, Chairman."
The secretary straightened her clothes and walked out of the office.
After closing the door, she glanced back at the office, still confused.
This didn’t make sense.
She had been flirting with the chairman for so long—how could there be no reaction at all?
Could it be that the chairman… wasn’t up to it anymore?
The thought crossed her mind.
Inside the chairman’s office, Lin Chang continued handling company affairs, but his mind kept drifting back to the earlier scene, growing more unsettled the more he thought about it.
He’d had plenty of women before.
And this Zhang Yue was particularly skilled at seduction—every time, she had him hooked from the start. This time was no different; his mind was already wandering.
But his body…
Lin Chang couldn’t take it anymore. He abruptly stood up.
To test his suspicions, he headed to a place where men indulged in pleasure.
He ordered three women to attend to him at once.
Three alluring women entered the private room.
Meanwhile, the first wave of moviegoers had already started watching Void and Wolf Warrior.
The reception of the two films couldn’t have been more different.
For Void, many viewers walked out after just twenty minutes, unable to stomach it.
As they left, they couldn’t help but complain, "What kind of garbage plot is this? I’ve never seen a movie this bad. The story is awful, and that male lead acts like he’s playing house. What a waste of sixty bucks!"
"Right? The marketing hyped it up like it was some masterpiece, but it’s just… this?"
"Pretty-boy actors with no talent should stay away from films."
The backlash was swift.
Numerous video bloggers made content mocking the film.
Public opinion flipped overnight.
Moviegoers who had pre-booked tickets for Void canceled en masse. As for the heartthrob actor’s fans—despite his 90 million Weibo followers—they weren’t about to spend money on this.
In contrast, Wolf Warrior received near-universal praise.
Audiences were so engrossed they didn’t want to leave.
"I wonder if there’ll be a sequel. This movie is incredible—no surprise, coming from Skyline Studios. They never miss."
"I need to go back and buy more tickets. This is perfect for the whole family—I’m bringing my parents!"
"Same, I’m rewatching this!"
Demand for Wolf Warrior tickets skyrocketed.
But the film was only screening in one theater chain, leaving many puzzled. Why wasn’t it playing elsewhere?
Some amateur detectives pieced it together.
"I know why. Look up Jiang Shuqin—Lin Xuan’s mother. There’s bad blood between Lin Xuan and the Lin family. No, worse than that—they’re practically enemies. My guess? Starlight Group, as the entertainment industry’s top dog, is flexing its power to suppress Skyline Studios."
"Same thing happened with their TV shows before. None of the major platforms carried Skyline’s dramas, so they had to launch their own streaming app."
"This time’s no different. I checked—the theater chain showing Wolf Warrior was nearly bankrupt. Skyline invested heavily, becoming the majority shareholder, just to get the film screened."
Industry insiders confirmed the rumors.
The controversy grew louder.
Public sentiment overwhelmingly favored Skyline Studios, while Void faced a full-blown boycott. Refunds poured in faster than ever.
Pre-sales, which had once hit 100 million, plummeted to 30 million—and kept dropping.
Starlight Group scrambled to salvage the situation, spending over 10 million on hired PR teams, but it was like throwing money into a void. No impact.
Theater executives watched Void’s collapsing numbers with regret. They never should’ve bowed to Starlight’s pressure and rejected Skyline’s film.
Lin Chang’s phone was on silent, leaving him oblivious to the chaos.
Right now, he sat on a couch, the three women he’d hired working their charms—each skilled, each alluring.
They tried everything.
Lin Chang’s expression grew stormier by the minute.
His grip tightened around his glass.
What was wrong with him?
Why wasn’t it working?
One of the women, fiery-tempered, finally snapped.
"You promised us a million if we got you going. But after all this, nothing? Are you just messing with us because you can’t perform?" She crossed her arms, voice sharp with frustration.
The other two shot Lin Chang skeptical looks.
This man couldn’t be older than fifty. Was he really… already incapable?
Lin Chang was already in a foul mood. The woman’s words turned his face ink-black.
"Get out!" He hurled his glass at the wall.
CRASH!
Shards scattered, red wine splattering across the floor.
"All of you—OUT!"
Humiliated, he grabbed one woman by the throat.
"Let’s go, quick!" Another ushered the group out.
The manager, hearing the commotion, rushed in.
"Sir, my deepest apologies. What happened?" He bowed repeatedly.
Lin Chang gritted his teeth. "Get me something."
"Something…?" The manager blinked, confused.
Lin Chang: "A stimulant."
"Ah?"
The manager’s jaw dropped.
He’d overheard the women’s comments about Lin Chang’s… issue. Now, the man was asking for drugs? Was he trying to force a reaction?
Snapping back to attention, the manager bowed again. "Right away, Mr. Lin. Just a moment."
He returned shortly, personally delivering a small bottle.
"Mr. Lin, this is our strongest formula. Effects should be… noticeable quickly."
With that, he retreated.
Lin Chang downed the entire bottle.
Ten minutes passed. His body grew hot—but there, still nothing.
Clenching his jaw, he gulped two more bottles.
Still useless.
Face dark, Lin Chang stood and stormed out.
He didn’t return home. Instead, he went straight to the hospital—for a very specific checkup.
