Chapter 405: Chapter 407 I’m Different from Them


    Qin Hao was eating, completely unaware that another round of online bashing had erupted because of him.


    After dinner, Qin Hao went out for a walk and soon saw Zhao Yuying coming out of her house too.


    She walked over with a smile and gently tapped Qin Hao on the shoulder, “I didn’t expect you to sing so well.”


    “Sing? What song?” Qin Hao was startled and didn’t catch on right away.


    Zhao Yuying, “Didn’t you go to karaoke today?”


    Qin Hao, “Yes, with a few high school friends.”


    “Did you by any chance sing ‘West Sea Love Song’?” Zhao Yuying asked.


    Qin Hao nodded, remembering that Chen Shuna seemed to have filmed him with her phone for a while.


    Could she have recorded it and posted it online?


    Zhao Yuying, “It’s chaos online now, your huge fanbase, tourists, and half of the music circle are all lashing out.”


    Qin Hao was taken aback, “Huh? How could that also lead to a fight?”


    Zhao Yuying saw his reaction and covered her mouth to giggle, “The fans and tourists praise your singing, and some people get jealous.


    Then they made a few negative comments, and it spiraled from there.”


    Qin Hao nodded, “Is this like riding on my coattails?”


    Zhao Yuying laughed dryly, “It could be said so, you now have over forty million followers on Wei Yan, and they are all real people, which is quite terrifying.”


    Qin Hao took out his phone and logged into Wei Yan to check.


    He saw the video too, the one Chen Shuna had recorded of him singing during the day.


    As he walked, he quickly grasped the situation; although many people from the music circle had spoken out,


    in terms of follower count, Qin Hao completely dominated, the critics almost dared not post on Wei Yan anymore.


    Unnoticed, the two had walked to the small garden at the back, where Qin Hao sat down on a wooden bench.


    Zhao Yuying sat next to him, looking at the phone in his hand.


    Qin Hao was posting on Wei Yan: The person in the video is me, the singer is also me, and the videographer is my high school classmate.


    Today, I had lunch with a few high school friends and then hung out at karaoke for a while.


    As for those who are jealous of me, I just want to say one thing to you: you are all just a pile of shit to me.


    After writing, Qin Hao’s face broke into a smile as he sent the post.


    Zhao Yuying was exasperated, you’re a business magnate and a Xuan Science Academy scholar, can’t you mind your public image a bit?


    In less than a minute, his post on Wei Yan was commented on and forwarded over ten thousand times, mainly because he had so many followers.


    “Buying Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine regularly, my parents felt much better after eating them.”


    “The names you come up with for these medicines are so tacky, but I like them.”


    In just a few minutes, retweets and comments reached hundreds of thousands; nearly everyone on Wei Yan saw it.


    Especially those big foreign pharmaceutical companies felt a foreboding sense.


    Their most profitable items were these common drugs; that’s where they made most of their money.


    The expensive drugs had a very low usage rate, because not many people suffer from those diseases.


    Suddenly, numerous large foreign pharmaceutical companies were alarmed, searching through various connections to verify the situation.


    Zhao Yuying, standing beside him, saw what he wrote.


    To her, it wasn’t the last sentence but the third to last that was most important—many pharmaceutical enterprises would hate him to death.


    He sounded casual about it, but who knew about the terrifying power of those foreign pharmaceutical companies?


    Zhao Yuying, one of the top figures in the entertainment industry and somewhat a part of the upper class,


    had encountered those business magnates before and knew well the terrifying nature of capitalists—they have the power to make people disappear without a trace.


    No matter how high your status, if you threatened their interests, they would ruthlessly eliminate you.


    Qin Hao had already touched the interests of those capital heavyweights, and she was somewhat worried for him.


    “Xiao Hao, why must you do this?” Zhao Yuying looked at him, puzzled.


    With Qin Hao’s abilities, he could completely choose to collaborate with these capitalist heavyweights.


    Then, he could earn massive profits and even become a new tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, but he chose not to.


    Qin Hao looked at Zhao Yuying, “Ying, I’m different from them. I won’t resort to unscrupulous methods for profit; I only earn the money I should.”


    Zhao Yuying, somewhat understanding but not quite, looked at him more intently, finding Qin Hao increasingly mysterious and also radiating a unique charm.


    Qin Hao looked up at the vast starry sky and asked, “Ying, do you think there are other life-bearing planets in the universe?”


    Zhao Yuying also looked up at the stars, thought for a moment, and replied, “There should be. It’s just that our technology is still too primitive. We can barely reach the nearby planets.”


    In Qin Hao’s eyes shone the light of yearning, “I think so too. One day, I’ll travel across the universe, see all its sights, and experience exotic cultures.”


    Zhao Yuying, smiling, said, “Then take me with you when that happens. I want to go too.”


    Qin Hao nodded, and after a while said, “Ying, it’s getting late, you should head back.”


    Starting tomorrow, Qin Hao’s life was likely to be anything but calm.
