Chapter 397: Chapter 399 Grievance
Seeing her parents approaching, Zhao Yuying quickly stopped talking, as there were things she didn’t want her parents to know.
Because they couldn’t help much, they would only worry uselessly which would upset them too.
Zhao Xingbo walked over and said with a smile, “Xiao Hao, I read in the newspaper that you’ve entered the clothing industry?”
Qin Hao smiled and nodded, “Yes, the clothing industry still has great developmental prospects.”
He would never say he had entered the clothing industry to get back at Ruixing Group.
Even if he did, they wouldn’t understand, the cross-industry battle had just begun.
The military clothing autumn tender was just a beginning, Huafei Clothing would launch a series of offensives against Ruixing Group afterward.
Zhao Xingbo said with a smile, “Xiao Hao truly has a business mind. When you become the richest man in Xuan Country, Mr. Zhao can boast a bit too, saying the richest man in Xuan Country is my neighbor.”
After chatting for a bit, Zhao Yuying said, “Mom, Dad, I’m going out for a walk, to breathe in some air from home. Xiao Hao, come with me for a walk.”
Qin Hao nodded slightly, and the two of them walked side by side out of the villa.
Seeing this, Zhao Xingbo and Wang Zhi exchanged glances.
Was their daughter falling for Qin Hao?
Qin Hao was so young yet his assets had already reached billions; if he kept developing, reaching hundreds of billions in a few years wasn’t impossible.
He was a potential goldmine.
They felt it was normal for their daughter to fall for such an outstanding man like Qin Hao, but they were a bit worried that Qin Hao might not feel the same about their daughter.
However, they were still very confident in their daughter’s qualities. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also gentle and virtuous.
The age gap with Qin Hao was a bit large—eight years—but they didn’t see it as a big issue.
In the countryside, there’s a saying: “A woman eight years older is sure to prosper!”
Once out of the villa, the two walked down the trail that led to a small garden behind their neighborhood.
The surrounding environment was serene, encircled by green trees, and relaxing in the shade here during summer was truly enjoyable.
Zhao Yuying didn’t speak as they walked; she was just looking at how she dressed and felt a bit shy about it.
The nightgown was a bit short, and there was a risk of exposure with a bit of autumn breeze.
Had she known it would be like this, she would have changed her clothes, but now it was awkward to mention going back to change.
The two walked over the cobblestone path and arrived inside the small garden.
Not far away, Leng Xuan and a few others were following Qin Hao, protecting him around the clock.
“Let’s sit for a while,” Qin Hao said.
Zhao Yuying nodded, and they both sat down on a wooden bench nearby.
Qin Hao said, “Ying, I can see you’re under a lot of stress. Talking about it might help, keeping it bottled up for long can lead to depression.”
Zhao Yuying sighed, “I’m so tired; I don’t want to stay in the entertainment industry anymore.”
“What happened?”
Zhao Yuying: “Wherever I go, I have to attend invitations from tycoons in politics and business. It’s compulsory to attend, but I don’t want to go.
Once there, there’s all kinds of people, and they don’t treat you as equals.
In those tycoons’ eyes, people like us are just entertainers, crudely put, just high-end escorts.
I don’t know why they have such views about us, we’ve also earned our presence through hard work and diligence,
Why can’t they treat us as equals? Why do they always feel superior?”
Qin Hao sat there quietly listening. What she needed at that moment wasn’t comfort, but someone to listen.
It wasn’t Zhao Yuying’s fault, nor was it the fault of the industry itself.
It was some shameless people within the industry who broke the rules, climbing up by doing anything they could.
And some tycoons, allured by their greed, used their capital to break the rules for their personal desires.
Zhao Yuying grew more and more passionate, “Every time I went somewhere to film or perform, I had to attend all sorts of banquets.
Qin Hao, do you understand that feeling? It’s like being forced to do something you don’t want to do.
There’s always an invisible hand pushing you to do it, and you simply cannot refuse.”
“No matter what, never lose your true self,” Qin Hao said.
Zhao Yuying sobbed softly, “Do you know how hard it really is? It’s truly difficult. I thought many times about giving in to life.
About bowing down to those so-called tycoons, but thinking of my parents, thinking of my own heart, I just couldn’t do it.
Even if it kills me, I just can’t do it.”
Qin Hao sighed when he saw her like this; if they hadn’t met,
he felt that given Zhao Yuying’s soft exterior but tough interior, she might have ended up committing suicide from depression.
It really hadn’t been easy for her to make it to this day.
Seeing her shoulders trembling slightly, Qin Hao hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to embrace her shoulders, allowing her to lean on him.
He had no improper thoughts at that moment.
He simply wanted to comfort Zhao Yuying.
Her current mental state, if not stabilized, could be very dangerous.
Zhao Yuying leaned on his shoulder, sobbing softly, “The day before yesterday while filming in Nanchu Province, a few of us from the crew received an invitation.
To attend a gala dinner hosted by Chu Jian, the young master of the Nanmao Wine Group.”
Nanmao Wine Group was originally named Gui Mao Wine, as it’s based in Nanchu Province, so many people like to call it Gui Mao Wine.
She paused then continued, “There were many famous figures from the business world in Nanchu Province at the wine feast, as well as many rich second generations.
After the party ended, they wanted us to stay, and although a few of us from the crew wanted to leave, they wouldn’t let us.
Later, when I insisted on leaving, Chu Jian couldn’t save face and, in front of numerous people, cursed me as a bitch.
At that moment I wanted to hit him, but I didn’t have the power; he’s the son of the head of the Nanmao Wine Group.
His father holds a very high position in Nanchu Province; even local officials have to be very polite to his dad.
I could only endure it, letting him curse me. Later, he got others to insult me too, telling me to sit on the chair and not move. If I dared, Chu Jian said he’d break my legs and make me crawl out of Nanchu Province.
If it weren’t for the people from the company, I don’t know if I could have made it back.”@@novelbin@@
By the end of her story, Zhao Yuying’s cries had grown louder, her ordeals that night were imaginable.
Qin Hao’s eyes chilled, “Ying, don’t be sad, it’s over, and tomorrow I’ll arrange a few bodyguards for you.
Their skills are very strong; if something like this happens again, just see them off, and I’ll take care of everything.”
Zhao Yuying’s voice choked up, “I want to get out, but I still have five years left on my contract; I must continue.
Otherwise, I can’t afford the breach of contract fees, and I also don’t know what else to do without this. I know nothing else.”
Qin Hao, “Ying, don’t worry about the contract issue; I’ll take care of it. Actually, you could transition and start a company.
Occasionally take on a good movie or appear on variety shows, and as for those banquets, you don’t need to attend them anymore.
If anyone dares to threaten you into attending, just call me, and I’ll attend their banquet instead.”
