After considering this, Qin Ruqing replied, not entirely dismissively, “Director, you can’t expect me to make a decision about going to Penglai Immortal Island on the same day you ask. I’ve just come out of an assassination attempt from the spatial rift!”

She still had other matters to attend to, like dealing with the issue between the Fang family and the Qin family.

Fifth Lingyu seemed unaware of her situation. He stood up, looking down at her, and said, “You’re just busy plotting ideas.”

“Alright, I’ve told you what you need to know. This is important, so make sure to consider it carefully. I’m leaving now.”

With that, he flicked his sleeve, the golden light enveloping him, and he vanished from sight.

Qin Ruqing pouted. “Tsk, these celestials never use the main door. They always have to show off their magic skills when they leave.”

Qirong, who had been listening to many explosive secrets and had been silent throughout, refilled his teacup.

He patted his stomach and said:

“Sister, are you really going to Penglai Immortal Island?”

Qin Ruqing stood up. “Go to an immortal island? Do you think we can just go whenever we want?”

Who knows what kind of price would have to be paid.

Qirong said, “Oh,”

Qin Ruqing added, “We should at least hear what conditions the Feng family is offering. It’s better to compare three options than just two.”

“Alright, let’s see if we can finally head to the Hui Cui Building smoothly now.”

This time, it indeed went smoothly.

The Third Elder hurried over to greet Qin Ruqing as soon as he saw her, saying, “You’ve finally arrived. I was about to come find you if you hadn’t shown up.”

Qin Ruqing, caught by the Third Elder, raised an eyebrow. “Has something happened?”

Seeing the Third Elder looking at Qirong, she added, “This is my brother.”

The Third Elder stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. “I know, the sixth on the golden list. You’re a dark horse that was underestimated by many.”

After they were seated, the Third Elder elaborated on the matter, “The Fang family sent word asking us to remove the assassination footage. They’re offering a pretty high price.”

“Oh, then shouldn’t the Third Elder remove it right away?” Qin Ruqing asked intentionally.

The Third Elder widened his eyes. “How could I dare to delete it without your permission, Miss Ruqing?” He spoke as though he was exceptionally principled and trustworthy.

Qin Ruqing curled her lips.

It wasn’t that he was afraid to delete it; it was that he hadn’t made enough money yet.

She had heard that the Hui Cui Building was notorious for its greed, repeatedly playing that footage and charging viewers again for each rewatch.

Impressive, wasn’t it?

Despite her inner critique, she said, “I appreciate the Third Elder’s consideration. However, the Fang family is of the Golden grade. We don’t want to make this too big. It’s fine as it is.”

In other words, whenever you’ve made enough money, feel free to take it down.

The Third Elder, indeed, nodded in satisfaction and asked, “So, Miss Ruqing, what brings you here this time?”

Qin Ruqing smiled calmly. “Naturally, it’s about the follow-up on the Fang family matter.”

“Follow-up?” The Third Elder was puzzled. “Didn’t you just agree to remove the assassination footage?” Wouldn’t that mean the matter was resolved?

“Yes, the assassination footage issue is resolved, but the matter isn’t over yet.”

“There was an assassination of a family contestant at the Hundred Clans Conference, and this person is suspected to be from the Fang family. What is the Fang family’s explanation? They can’t just stay silent, right?”

“Moreover, what was the purpose of the assassination? Why would the Fang family want to kill me? What kind of grudge or hatred could there be?”

“Most importantly, how does the number one on the gold list, Miss Ruqing, feel after this incident? Is she fully recovered? Is she terrified, or is she angrily seeking justice?”

Qin Ruqing calmly listed each issue, then concluded, “These unresolved questions are all related to the Song family’s business, aren’t they?”

“The excitement of the Hundred Clans Conference usually lasts for a few months. With this incident happening this year, it’s bound to attract even more attention. With such a big event, the excitement is just beginning to build up. Is the Song family really going to just let it go?”

The Third Elder seemed to feel that not having someone with the surname Song present was a loss for the Song family.

“You know more about manipulating public opinion than I do? Isn’t your Qin family in the pill refining business? How come you understand all the ins and outs of this so well? You seem to be even more adept than me, an old hand at this.”

“The Heat is Brewing”

The word “brewing” is quite exquisite!

Upon careful consideration, there are indeed many aspects worth delving into behind this matter, and these are precisely the things people want to know.

As always, what Huicui Building Tower needs to research is what the public wants to see.

In this way, it is indeed a good business deal that the Song family cannot refuse!

The Third Elder was indeed tempted but still asked cautiously, “So, according to Fairy Ruqing’s suggestion…”

Qin Ruqing spoke slowly and clearly, neither too fast nor too slow, “Didn’t Huicui Tower previously make a special report on me? It sold so well; this series can definitely be explored further.”

“After experiencing such a terrifying incident, Fairy Ruqing still insists that the murderer is from the Fang family. What is she thinking, and what kind of grudge does the Fang family have with her?”

Qin Ruqing talked about herself like an onlooker, without any pressure.

“Even if we don’t talk about the assassination, I am the top scorer on the Golden List… How did the child of a small family reach the top of the Golden List? How did I cultivate, what techniques did I use, and what plans did I have after being targeted for assassination after winning the championship…”

Qin Ruqing even thought about the marketing points for them, “Why not make a special interview for Huicui Tower?”

“Huicui Tower exclusive, top scorer on the Golden List, special interview.”

After Qin Ruqing finished speaking, the private room was quiet for a long time.

The Third Elder seemed to have opened a door to a new world, and his whole realm seemed to have been elevated, his thoughts suddenly clear and completely open!

He clapped his hands in praise, “Wonderful!”

But you only praised it as wonderful, without actually agreeing.

Qin Ruqing understood this very well.

She maintained her smile and took the initiative to say, “I also know this matter is crucial, and the Third Elder cannot decide alone. How about this, I will leave first, and the Third Elder can give me an answer before the conference ends.”

Saying this, Qin Ruqing stood up, preparing to leave.

As expected, the old fox did not ask her to stay.

He only said that he would seriously consider what Fairy Ruqing had proposed.

Leaving Huicui Tower, Qin Ruqing felt very relaxed, as if she had settled a matter, without any worry about whether Huicui Tower would agree or not.

Qirong noticed her expression and said, “Sister, are you very sure that Huicui Tower will agree?”

Qin Ruqing raised her eyebrows, “I am not.”

“Then why are you so happy?”

“I did what I could, completed the part I could strive for. If it doesn’t meet expectations, then it means my ability is not enough, or the matter itself cannot achieve the desired effect. So, why shouldn’t I be happy?”

Happy?

Qirong nodded thoughtfully.

“However,” Qin Ruqing changed the subject, “the possibility of this matter being resolved is still quite high.”

“Ah, do you think the Song family isn’t afraid of the Fang family?” Continuing to dig into this issue would inevitably uncover past conflicts between the Qin and Fang families.

Even Qirong could foresee that.

Qin Ruqing smiled. “I think it’s not really about fear, but rather about perspective and position.”

“The Celestial Family have many concerns regarding the Fang family. It’s not that they are afraid of the Fang family; it’s just that they have to consider many factors from their position. One small move could affect everything.”

“That’s why dealing with Celestial Family is troublesome and cooperation is difficult,” Qin Ruqing remarked, showing her reluctance to deal with immortals.

“But the Song family is different. Their strength is top-notch, and their status is high. Their business is in intelligence and public opinion. They maintain good relationships with all sides but don’t rely on any particular one.”

“So what?”

Qin Ruqing clasped her hands behind her back and walked more briskly. “Not relying on anyone means being absolutely neutral, but they know a bit about everyone’s good and bad deeds. Whether they choose to reveal it or not depends entirely on their mood. They just watch the drama unfold.”

“A family like that probably doesn’t have any concerns about the Celestial Families, let alone the Fang family,” Qin Ruqing lightly countered.

Of course, the main point is: marketing accounts don’t have any principles! (Fainting: ,,.)
