Chapter 893: I Am a Civilized Person

The Johnson Family was spinning in circles, anxious like ants on a hot pan.

Xu Shaochen, however, remained extremely relaxed, shopping with Xie Wei, Tang Silin, and Li Qianya.

As for Jenny, of course, she had rolled off to work. With so many documents piling up, Xu Shaochen couldn’t possibly handle them all, so someone had to.

Today, all three women were dressed in identical light green dresses, like beautiful sisters with their own unique charms.

Naturally, Xu Shaochen was stealing the spotlight.

“What’s going on? What are these people doing?”

In a large shopping mall, Xu Shaochen suddenly noticed a crowd forming on both sides, and among them, many journalists, armed with long and short cameras.

“It’s probably some celeb. It looks like the male and female leads of ‘Flying Clouds.'”

Li Qianya said after seeing the signs held by some fans.

“Fans are crazy no matter if they’re in China or abroad. Let’s hurry, or we’ll end up stuck in place.”

Xu Shaochen sighed and then walked towards the elevator with the three women.

“Jennifer, Dennis!”

Suddenly, the fans erupted in excitement, surging forward all at once.

Amid a few security guards, a man and a woman wearing sunglasses walked over with an air of arrogance.

These two were the red-hot movie stars who, thanks to a single film ‘Flying Clouds,’ had been catapulted to fame.

“Clear the way! Everyone get out of the way!”

“Move aside! Get back!”

The security guards continually pushed people aside, pointing directly at Xu Shaochen and his group, commanding them to make way.

“Isn’t this ridiculous? It’s not their road. Why do we have to move?”

Xie Wei frowned, clearly displeased.

After all, they were enjoying their shopping trip just fine when suddenly a group arrived, ordering them around with such a tough tone. They weren’t even important figures—just a couple of celebrities. Naturally, it didn’t feel good.

“It’s fine, just back off. When the dead need to pass, the living ought to give way.”

Xu Shaochen said with a smile, taking Xie Wei’s hand and stepping aside.

“Move!”

Li Qianya was still staring at Jennifer and Dennis intently, not paying attention to Xu Shaochen’s words, when she was suddenly pushed back by a bodyguard.

“Ah!”

Li Qianya was wearing high heels, and her balance wasn’t great. When she was pushed, she nearly fell to the ground. Thankfully, Xu Shaochen reacted quickly and caught her.

“Stop right there! Apologize to her!”

Xu Shaochen’s face darkened as he grabbed the bodyguard who had pushed her.

“Shit! Damn bastard, let go of me immediately!”

The bodyguard cursed at Xu Shaochen arrogantly.

In an instant, the journalists found their scoop.

Several reporters recognized Xu Shaochen, but they smartly kept quiet. None of them made a fuss, instead, taking the opportunity to snap as many pictures as possible.

After all, if they revealed Xu Shaochen’s identity, wouldn’t that just bring more competition for the story?

So, they decided to stay quiet to maximize their profit.

They even had their headlines ready.

Just thinking about it got them excited.

“So, you guys really aren’t planning to apologize?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Jennifer and Dennis.

The two sneered condescendingly, saying nothing at all. They didn’t even bother to take off their sunglasses, clearly not taking Xu Shaochen seriously at all.

Just some Chinese guy—why would they need to apologize to him?

“Alright, I get it. Please, go ahead.”

Xu Shaochen let go of the bodyguard, smiling slightly, and stepped aside.

“Trash.”

The bodyguard dusted off the sleeve that Xu Shaochen had grabbed, giving him a disdainful look.

Soon, Jennifer, Dennis, and their entourage left in grand fashion.

The reporters who had recognized Xu Shaochen didn’t follow, and once the group had left, they immediately surrounded Xu Shaochen.

“Mr. Xu, hello. I’d like to ask, after your companion was pushed by Dennis and Jennifer’s bodyguard and there was no apology, do you plan to blacklist them?”

“Mr. Xu, what are your thoughts on what just happened?”

“Mr. Xu, according to reports, ‘Flying Clouds’ is about to be released in China…”

Xu Shaochen smiled warmly and replied calmly, “How could I? I’m a civilized man. I would never resort to such barbaric methods. We’re about to go eat; if any of you have time, why not join us?”

The reporters, hearing this, couldn’t help but admire Xu, the richest man’s, grace and generosity. However, none of them accepted the meal invitation.

All they wanted was to rush back and get their stories out as quickly as possible.

Soon, the reporters hurriedly left.

Once they were gone, Xu Shaochen’s face turned dark, and he pulled out his phone to make a call to China.

“Brother Chen, it’s me. I heard that foreign film ‘Flying Clouds’ is about to release back home. I’d like to suggest something. Please ensure your department carefully checks such foreign films to protect our youth from harmful influences. Yes, exactly. Alright, I’ll treat you to dinner when I get back.”

After hanging up, he made another call to Mike. In Mg Country, it’s best to rely on local figures like him.

“Mike, do you know the stars Dennis and Jennifer? For some reason, I find myself disliking them. I don’t want to see them on any screens. I trust you won’t disappoint your friend, right? Thanks, you’re my best friend.”

After finishing with Mike, Xu Shaochen put his phone away and turned to the three women, “Let’s go, time to eat.”

“Didn’t you say you’re a civilized person?” Li Qianya questioned.

Xu Shaochen smiled, “Wasn’t my method civilized enough? If I had resorted to barbaric measures, they’d be spending the rest of their lives in a wheelchair.”

The three women were speechless, but after thinking about it, they realized Xu Shaochen actually made sense. By his standards, this was pretty civilized.

…………

Back in China, at a company that had purchased the overseas rights to ‘Flying Clouds.’

“Damn it! What’s going on? The first review passed, so why is the bureau conducting a second review now? And worse, it didn’t pass this time!”

The boss roared angrily, slamming the documents in his hand onto his desk.

After acquiring the rights, they had spent a fortune building hype for the film. Now that the bureau’s review had stalled things, they stood to lose millions if the film couldn’t be released.

“Chairman, perhaps you should take a look at this?”

The project manager for ‘Flying Clouds’ cautiously handed the boss a phone.

On the phone was a news article from an overseas website.
