The order to ban the Stick Nation came without warning.
The Stick Nation's celebrities in China were dumbfounded. Countless Stick Nation fans were dumbfounded. At the same time, the celebrities from other countries in China were also dumbfounded!
A certain Stick Nation celebrity from the same Stick Nation as Hyun-Min Kim could not help but immediately make a statement. "I admit that some Stick Nation celebrities have insulted China, but I'm definitely not one of them. I love Chinese culture and people. I hope China won't ban everyone. Many people are different from Hyun-Min Kim. Please give us a chance."
Many Stick Nation celebrities also followed suit, expressing their loyalty and love for China.
In addition, celebrities from other countries also expressed their respect for China.
A France celebrity: "I love every inch of China's land, respect everyone in China, and learn from Chinese traditional culture. This is an extremely powerful country."
A Murica celebrity: "I've lived in China for almost six years. Ever since I came to China to develop my career, I've never gone back. I even brought my parents over. My parents quickly fell in love with this hospitable country. To be honest, living in China is much happier than Murica. I love this land!"
A warning to others!
The Stick Nation's fate served as a warning to celebrities from other countries. It made them realize that if they wanted to stay in China, they had to respect China and its people!
Some foreign celebrities even took the initiative to post on Weibo to apologize for some of their previous improper behavior, such as putting on airs and giving the Chinese fans the cold shoulder, and so on.
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
The entire Chinese entertainment industry was shaken.
Many Stick Nation celebrities begged for mercy, but China showed no signs of relenting and did not give any response.
Seeing that, the Stick Nation's embassy also issued a statement. "China's entertainment industry is prohibited from entering the Stick Nation."
That statement was close to a joke.
That was because the Stick Nation's celebrities were not treated well. For example, a celebrity might earn 10 million in China, but they might not even get 100,000 in the Stick Nation. That was the difference!
Many Stick Nation celebrities dreamed of coming to China to develop their career. No Chinese celebrity would be so foolish to go to the Stick Nation. Therefore, it did not matter whether the statement was made or not. No one would go to the Stick Nation at all.
In addition, China had a vast territory, a large population, and a lot of money. The Stick Nation's celebrities regarded this place as heaven, but now, they had to pay the price for their stupidity!
Some of the Stick Nation's celebrities were innocent. It was an undeserved disaster, and they could only hate Hyun-Min Kim for being a sh * t-stirrer!
China used its actions to prove that politeness did not mean forbearance. If a tiger did not show its might, did you think it was a sick cat?
At that moment, Ye Lingchen had just finished a day of socializing and was resting at home.
The phone rang.
It was Xiao Feifei.
"Hey, Feifei."
"Home?"
"Yes, I came back yesterday."
"You didn't even tell me that you were coming back yesterday. You made me worry the whole night." Xiao Feifei couldn't help but complain.
"It was already very late when I came back. I was afraid to disturb you."
"That's good. I know you're busy during the New Year. Remember to send my regards to uncle and auntie."
…
Next was Ouyang Qing's.
"It's me."
"Director Ouyang, I know it's you."
"You're out?"
"Yes."
"I'm hanging up. Don't be so suicidal next time. Otherwise, the whole company will go after you."
"Uh … alright. Happy New Year."
"Hmph, I'm still working overtime for you!"
…
That was Song Qian's.
"Chairman Ye, are you alright?"
"Yes, I came out last night."
"You're home for the New Year. Chairman Ye, you're amazing. There's news about you everywhere during the New Year. You made a name for yourself on the Spring Festival Gala and even stole the limelight from the Spring Festival Gala. If people find out that you're the chairman of Huyu and Livestream Y, they'll probably go crazy."
"How's the live streaming platform doing?" Ye Lingchen had not asked about it for some time.
"It's just that you suspended the live streaming channel, causing some people to complain. However, the entire platform is developing and the situation is very good."
"Alright, I'll join a new live streaming project if I have the chance."
…
Finally, there were Hao Yun, Dong Miaomiao, Xiang, Little Gen, Chen Xiaoyan, Zhao Liangying, and many other friends of his who called to show their concern. Ye Lingchen thanked them one by one and made some small talk.
"By the way, I forgot last time. Baby Ying, your friend's pass is still with me. I'll send it back to you later," Ye Lingchen said.
Zhao Liangying said, "It's fine. That pass is useless after the Spring Festival Gala. It can only be kept as a souvenir."
Ye Lingchen then asked, "By the way, I didn't cause any trouble for your friend, did I?"
"What do you think?" Zhao Liangying replied snappily, then said, "It's alright. No one is going to pursue this matter. However, you should take a look at the internet. You've offended the entire Stick Nation's entertainment industry this time."
"The entire Stick Nation's entertainment industry?"
Ye Lingchen was slightly taken aback. "Hyun-Min Kim is that influential?"
After ending the call with Zhao Liangying, Ye Lingchen entered the internet out of curiosity.
When he saw the content on the internet, he could not help but laugh. He knew that the Warrior's Department would take action against him, but he did not expect them to be so decisive. They killed the chicken to warn the monkey. Their methods were indeed ruthless.
No wonder he received so many calls all of a sudden. Everyone only found out that he had been released from the police station at that moment.
However, Ye Lingchen soon realized one thing. Although the Warrior's Department's actions were satisfying, they were … too domineering! China had not been so domineering for a long time.
China had been established for nearly a hundred years and had rapidly grown from a backward country to a superpower. It had inherited five thousand years of fine traditions and had always convinced others with virtue. They were extremely friendly to their neighboring countries and would help those that were backward as much as possible.
However, this time, China's actions were somewhat unusual. Although they only banned the Stick Nation's entertainment industry, the Stick Nation was just a small country with weak strength. They were most famous for their entertainment industry. Directly banning them was equivalent to cutting off one of the Stick Nation's arms!
Ye Lingchen did not think that it was caused by his incident. That incident was at most a fuse and definitely not the root cause.
His eyes flickered and he sensed a trace of abnormality.
That incident … The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
Judging from the timeline, the Warrior's Department had not been established for a long time. It had only been a decade or so, but the speed of their growth and the power they wielded were outrageous!
As far as Ye Lingchen knew, there was almost nothing the Warrior's Department could not intervene in. Moreover … they had absolute authority!
Perhaps it was just an illusion, but the other departments seemed to have rarely spoken up. Most of the time, it was the Warrior's Department who stood up. Moreover, their actions were much more domineering than before …
