Chapter 328


    "Chu Ling, thepany has already evaluated the risks and feels that you should give up on


    Brian," Hu Lai said.


    "If I give up on his clothes, how am I going to outshine the others at the event?" Chu Ling didn''t


    want to give up.


    "There''s no other way," said Hu Lai. "If you don''t give up, everyone will know you''re working with


    him. Sooner orter, this fire will be on your head."


    She continued to persuade him. "After that, we will definitely find you a better designer. It''s not a pity


    to give up on Brian. I''ll help you post to Weibo now."


    Chu Ling''s Weibo ount was shared by him and Hu Lai. When it came to public matters, Hu Lai


    needed to make a statement.


    Chu Ling did not refuse.


    Hu Lai used his name to post on Weibo. "I''m really heartbroken to find out that Country H has


    continued to use Country S''s cultural treasures. We can''t forget our ancestor''s things, and we can''t


    let anyone snatch them away. At the same time, I''m also announcing that I refuse to work with Brian


    and will no longer wear his designs."


    There were twoyers to this Weibo post. The first was cutting ties with Brian. The second was


    expressing to the public that Chu Ling''s fashion resources had far surpassed his peers'' and that he


    had gotten the opportunity to work with Brian. As for why he would not continue working with Brian,


    it was because he had given up his personal interests for the sake of the country''s honor.


    Once the Weibo post was released, it naturally attracted praise for Chu Ling.


    "Let''s see what it means to be a real top celebrity! This is what it means to be a real top celebrity.


    Even if you can get the best resources, you are willing to give them up for the country!" "Giving up


    on this opportunity, Chu Ling is truly akin to a warrior cutting off his hand." "Impressive, impressive! I


    used to look down on these superficial artists, but now it seems that there''s nock of hot-blooded


    men."


    ''k''k''k


    Shi Jin sat opposite Gu Zehan. When she saw the news, she frowned and said, "You''re still working


    with Chu Ling?"


    Gu Zehan nced at Fu Xiuyuan, who was sitting to one side with a stern expression on his face.


    He coughed lightly. "That was before. If I''d known he would cut off our coboration, I would have


    cut it off long ago anyway."


    Fu Xiuyuan''s expression softened.


    "I''ll reply to him now." Gu Zehan took out his phone and opened Weibo.


    He quickly created a Weibo post: "Exactly what I wanted @Chu Ling."


    After he posted it, he threw his phone aside and stopped looking at it. He would allow the public to


    discuss it freely.


    Needless to say, Shi Jin could guess what Chu Ling''s fans were saying.


    There was a high chance that they would think that Gu Zehan was using Chu Ling''s poprity.


    Perhaps to those fans, the whole world was wrong. Only their idol was right.

    "It''s alright. Let''s go to the National Dance Association first," said Shi Jin.


    Gu Zehan stood up and blinked at Fu Xiuyuan, who couldn''t go with them, showing off that he could


    go with Shi Jin.


    Fu Xiuyuan remained silent.


    Shi Jin noticed the unusual atmosphere and asked, "What are you guys doing?"


    "Nothing, nothing." Gu Zehan immediately shook his head.


    The two of them went to the National Dance Association.


    The secretary handed them their cards.


    "Miss Shi, Brian, you have to swipe your card every time you go in and out. Because the matter


    regarding Shen Yi has blown up, the management of the dance association has been tightened. Not


    everyone can enter."


    "I understand." Shi Jin nodded.


    She and Gu Zehan followed the secretary. When they saw their usual seats, they all swiped their


    cards.


    The evaluation of personal identities had indeed be much stricter. This was understandable.


    The National Dance Association was one of the key organizations in this year''s batch of applicants,


    and they kept all sorts of information. The theory behind "Shangzhou Ancient Music Dance" was


    also here.


    If they did not properly protect these secrets, and if the people from Country H found out, they


    would probably think that these things were theirs again.


    It was difficult for Shi Jin to judge others. However, Country H''s people were famous for their


    shamelessness. Who knew what they would do?


    The secretary swiped his card and entered.


    Shi Jin followed suit.


    The screen showed:


    Shi Jin.


    S Card. Entry Permitted.


    When Shi Jin entered, Gu Zehan was amused. "Are you an S card? I don''t even know what card I


    have."


    He swiped it.


    The screen disyed:


    Brian.


    Temporary VIP card. Entry Permitted.


    Gu Zehan looked at the words and could not help but look at the secretary. "Why am I only a


    temporary card?"


    "Brian, Miss Shi is an official member of the association, so she has an S card. You''re a temporary


    guest, so you''re using a temporary card."


    "Is there a difference?" Gu Zehan asked.


    "The permitted areas and time limits for each card is different. At thest minute, you can only enter


    the dance studio that you are currently in. The time limit is not long either, so your card''s time limit


    should be up by now."


    "Then what about Shi Jin''s S card?"


    "It''s permanently effective. You can go to all the ces that the association has ess to with one


    of those."


    Right now, even "Shangzhou Ancient Music Dance" was being arranged under Shi Jin''s guidance. It


    was normal for her to be able to go anywhere.


    Gu Zehan did not have much interest in the dance association. He had heard that he would not be


    able to enter this ce again after the announcement. It was not really a pity. He said, "You should


    have done this a long time ago."


    The secretary said politely, "Actually, there were such management measures in the past, but they


    were not strictly implemented. This time, taking advantage of Shen Yi''s time, it is indeed not bad to


    put everything on the right track."


    Shi Jin and Gu Zehan swiped their cards and entered. They soon arrived at President Cui''s office.


    President Cui stood up immediately when he saw them. "Shi Jin, Brian,e and sit down."


    After Shi Jin and Gu Zehan entered, they discussed the choreography and designs of the costumes


    with President Cui again.


    Gu Zehan brought out a set of samples he had already prepared.


    After he took them out, President Cui took them.


    The style was simple and unadorned, yet elegant. It had absorbed the foundation of historical texts


    and had been innovated and improved upon.


    "Not bad, not bad." President Cui nodded. "If we all wear this outfit, this dance will be even


    more godly. Brian, your design is really fitting."


    "President Cui, how''s the preparation going?" Shi Jin asked.


    "I''ve arranged some things, but some information is really hard to find. Overall, I don''t know if we


    canpare to Country H''s efforts."


    This was what worried President Cui the most. He said, "Whether or not the United Nations will


    approve this non-material cultural heritage will depend on all the reports. Only with enough details


    and credibility can we convince them to pass it. If our content can''tpare to Country H''s..."


    Gu Zehan cursed, "Damn it! It''s clearly our ancestor''s stuff!"


    "They don''t care much. We know that this is ours, but others will only look at the evidence. At the


    end of the day, it''s still because the world doesn''t know enough about Country S and Country H,


    and the soft power of culture isn''t strong enough. It''s precisely because of this that we have to fight


    for any cultural treasure that we can actually fight for. That way, our country''s cultural strength will


    be seen by more people."
