In the end, Ruan Qing left, because of Gu Xingyi's words.

She was sure Chen Feng wouldn't do anything to her, but she couldn't read Gu Xingyi.

In her mind, capital was always the same. The fact that Gu Xingyi could build such a large company in such a short amount of time seemed like a terrifying thing to her.

If Gu Xingyi knew what she was thinking, he would probably cry and laugh at the same time.

It turned out that, in others' eyes, he had become a big player in capital!

On December 5th, the main show of Under One Person officially launched on the largest anime platform in the country: the Free Anime Platform.

On the release day, this Chinese anime reached a staggering 400 million views, making it the highest-grossing anime on its first day ever, and its ratings surpassed all other anime released in the same batch.

For a Chinese anime to reach such heights was simply unbelievable.

Xingyao Animation's name also reverberated throughout the entire anime community, and the trending topics online, ever since Under One Person debuted, had not stopped. Xingyao Entertainment and Xingyao Animation were constantly on everyone's lips.

Especially Gu Xingyi—netizens were now all talking about him, with some media outlets even publishing articles detailing his development history. When netizens read these articles, they couldn't help but gasp.

He started from obscurity, rose to public attention with the song A Lifetime With You, then collaborated with Huayin to create Only Ordinary, gradually establishing his reputation. Afterward, his wife-pampering incident and domestic violence scandal dragged him into a media storm.

Then, when Xia Xiyao came out to support him, the netizens began to accept him again. After that, one hit song followed another, and when Xia Xiyao was banned, Huayang came out to support him because of his song Chasing Dreams With a Childlike Heart.

By then, he already had the confidence to stand against the entertainment industry. With Huayin's Hua Country's Strongest Voice, he stopped keeping a low profile. After several rounds of competitions, he firmly cemented his place.

This all happened in just six months!

He had already made everyone in the entertainment industry look up to him!

And now, with Under One Person released by Xingyao Animation, he had stirred up a tidal wave in the anime world.

With a wave of his hand, the clouds form! With a turn of his hand, the rain falls! It's just terrifying!

After reading this media post, countless netizens were left in shock, leaving comments below.

   "Damn! I didn't even realize Gu Xingyi was this impressive!"

   "Guys, who understands this? I've been following his songs all this time, and suddenly I look back, and he's already at the top, while I'm still that unknown kid from back then!"

   "Unbelievable! Truly insidious! We only cared about his songs, but no one really paid attention to his rise!"

   "An idol right in front of us! No matter the aspect, he's my goal to strive for!"

   "He wouldn't be here without our support, right? But still, he's earned so much money and hasn't donated even once!"

   "…Is there really moral kidnapping still going on? He earned that money with his own talent. Whether he donates or not is his business, right?"

   "Yes, it's his business, but without us, he wouldn't have been able to stand up. Look at the entertainment industry—who with ability and a good reputation hasn't done charity? Gu Xingyi is the only one who hasn't!"

   "Hey! Don't lump me in with you! You're making it sound like he didn't stand up on his own but that it's all because of you!"

   "They always say Xia Xiyao and Gu Xingyi are a breath of fresh air in the entertainment world, but they're just like any other capitalists!"

......

It's unclear who started it, but the mood online suddenly shifted, and many netizens began debating whether or not donations should be made.

At this moment, within Xingyao Entertainment, Gu Xingyi and the others naturally saw these comments and discussions.

"How can these people say such things! What gives them the right to say this! The money we earn at Xingyao Entertainment, thirty percent of it is used to help poor children and those who can't afford medical treatment! Every single penny is reviewed by Yun-jie personally before it's allocated!"

"Xiyao-jie! Brother-in-Law! Aren't you going to step up and clarify things?"

Tao Lele, sitting on the couch holding a tablet, angrily spoke out.

Yun-jie and the others also looked over. They all knew that thirty percent of Gu Xingyi's earnings went to various impoverished areas. The day Xingyao Entertainment was founded, Xingyao Charity was also established.

However, Gu Xingyi never spoke about it; he only did it quietly.

Seeing Tao Lele puffing up her cheeks in anger, Xia Xiyao found it amusing and gently pressed her inflated cheek, saying,

"Our development is happening too fast, and naturally, some people are jealous. These things are all normal. If some people like us, others will dislike us. If you get angry every time something like this happens, you'll be dead from anger sooner or later!"

"But they're really frustrating!"

Tao Lele still looked upset. Even she had contributed thirty percent, and now, to be talked about like this—it made her feel even worse.

"Alright, alright, calm down. This is clearly someone stirring things up. But honestly, trying to make an issue out of this is pretty childish. Don't worry about it. There's a saying: 'Do good deeds and don't worry about the future; follow your heart, and don't worry about the destination.'"

Gu Xingyi, sitting on the other side of the couch, also tried to calm Tao Lele down.

No matter what people said online, as long as he had no regrets in his heart, that was enough. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. The donations from Xingyao Entertainment had always been made through Hua Country Charity, and every single donation was verifiable. He wasn't worried.

"Do good deeds and don't worry about the future; follow your heart, and don't worry about the destination."

Everyone in the room silently recited these words in their hearts, and then all looked at Gu Xingyi, their eyes shining brighter than before.

This was the charm of Gu Xingyi! Just look at how cultured he is—not only is he amazing at writing songs, but even his words are so soothing!

Meanwhile, the online momentum was growing stronger, and Gu Xingyi's silence only made the controversy escalate, creating a situation where a small spark could start a prairie fire.

"Chairman Liu! What a brilliant plan! Just a little bit of paid online support, and it's already stirred things up. Gu Xingyi must be struggling to handle this. The Hua Country's Strongest Voice the day after tomorrow is the perfect time for us to strike back!"

In Chairman Liu's office, the head of the operations department was smiling and flattering Liu Gao. This whole incident was ordered by Liu Gao, and he was pleased to see that the online discussion had really turned into an attack on Gu Xingyi.

"Who said I'm going to strike back? If Gu Xingyi can be brought down by such a small thing, then he's no longer Gu Xingyi!"

Liu Gao's face remained calm, showing no sign of happiness at all from his subordinate's flattery.

"Uh… no strike back? Then what are we doing this for?"

The flattery fell flat, and the head of the operations department felt awkward. He hesitantly asked.

"Just to slightly attract his attention, distract him a little. As for the reason, don't ask about things you shouldn't know!"

Liu Gao gave him a sidelong glance, his eyes showing no emotion.

"Alright, then… I'll be on my way. You're busy."

The operations head awkwardly smiled, quickly getting up to leave.
