They examined the situation carefully. The purchaser had bought all the tickets almost at the same time, and they paid through the same software.

“Someone’s locking up our venues!” The manager was quick to spot the fact.

“I wonder if it’s Lu Tianqing herself or her fans.”

“But no matter who it is, it’s so unethical! If no one had bought the tickets, we could have naturally switched to another movie that would sell well. Now, we have to screen this movie while making a loss.”

“Right. I noticed too. Even though there were people who bought the tickets, no one showed up to watch the movie. The whole theater was empty.”

!!

“Previously, we were worried that we would let Boss Jin down by replacing Lu Tianqing, but since they’re so heartless, we can only do the same. Return all these tickets to the buyer immediately and change Lu Tianqing’s movie to Su Bei’s movie!”

“Yes, change it to Su Bei’s movie!”

Everyone had long wanted to change it. After all, it was really too uncomfortable to see a lot of money not being earned.

Now that they had found such a good reason, they would act immediately.

With this change, the box office results of Su Bei’s movie completely soared. Lu Tianqing could only occupy a fraction of Su Bei’s results.

Lu Tianqing said to her manager, “Let’s announce it to the public directly. Let’s say that Su Bei maliciously snatched our showtimes and made the movie theater managers deliberately refund the tickets to our movie. She doesn’t want people to watch my movie, so she’s forcing everyone to only watch her movie.”

Soon, many people posted photos of the refund notice for their tickets.

They claimed: [We originally wanted to support Lu Tianqing, but after we bought the tickets, the movie theaters refused to let us watch the movie and forcibly refunded our tickets. We later discovered that the tickets they gave us were all for Su Bei’s movie.]

[Is it so difficult to watch a movie we want? We like Lu Tianqing. Is that wrong?]

[The movie theaters should give us an explanation. Why did they do that?]

[Must Su Bei treat us like this just because she has the support of a famous director?]

The matter caused a huge commotion. After all, a Best Actor and other popular actors were also in Lu Tianqing’s movie. The fans of these people were not to be underestimated. They followed suit and said: [No wonder the box office results of the movie were surpassed by Su Bei’s movie. Later on, we couldn’t even catch up. So there’s such an inside story. If you don’t give us an explanation, you can’t blame us for not letting it go.]

[Su Bei, you’re really too much. Did He Xuyan give you the courage? You contracted all these movie theaters? Why are you still making movies when you’re so rich, then?]

[That’s right. It was all hype before, but now, you’re promoting your movie in such a vicious way. Don’t tell me we can only watch your movie with our heads down? What about our dignity as movie-goers?]

Jin Mingchang also flared up at the movie theater managers. “Everyone, we’ve been working together for many years. Your actions this time are too disrespectful to me. What benefits did Su Bei give you?”

The managers had no choice but to give the evidence of the venue lock to Jin Mingchang.

Jin Mingchang was also an expert in this area. When he saw this, he understood what Lu Tianqing had done.

Although these managers had indeed been paid, they just did what they had to do. No one watched Lu Tianqing’s movie, so it was their freedom to replace Lu Tianqing’s movie with Su Bei’s.

Lu Tianqing had maliciously locked their venues first. Jin Mingchang was indeed in the wrong.

“This must’ve been done by fans. I hope that you won’t ruin our many years of friendship because of the actions of some brainless fans!” Jin Mingchang said and turned to leave.

The managers breathed a sigh of relief. At least they knew they wouldn’t have to take full responsibility for this.

The reprimands online were too fierce, but the managers couldn’t be bothered to clarify things for Su Bei. Wouldn’t it be a slap to Lu Tianqing’s face?

They would give Jin Mingchang face, but not Su Bei.

This was especially so for Manager Liang, who was leading the group. He said to everyone, “There’s no need to respond to the matters of the outside world. When something like this happens, the blame will all be on the celebrities. Everyone, let’s just guard our own cinemas well. We won’t get involved.”

When he got home, he counted the money he earned from Su Bei’s movie and used her popularity as a stepping stone. However, he was not the slightest bit swayed despite seeing how badly Su Bei was being scolded online.

“What are you so happy about, Dad?” his son and daughter asked.

“Why shouldn’t I be happy? I’ve made money.”

Manager Liang went to sleep after drinking.

His son and daughter were both Su Bei’s fans. They planned to check his computer to see if there was any news about Su Bei. As high school students, they had a lot of lessons and a very packed schedule. Manager Liang usually didn’t allow them to use the computer.
