Chapter 1091: Schrödinger's Foreigner

"Everyone stand well, smile."

Ye Zhining held the camera, aiming the lens at the girls standing in a row.

Luo Quan, as the boss, stood in the middle, Wen Xia and Chunzi who came back from diving stood on her sides, others lined up according to height.

Played on the beach for a whole afternoon, ready to go back, Luo Quan of course organized everyone to take a big group photo.

Except for Ye Zhining who didn't plan to appear on camera, everyone else stood together.

Under Ye Zhining's command, everyone set their poses, and with a light sound of "ka", the picture froze at this moment.

However, one photo definitely wasn't enough; Ye Zhining continued to find angles and took several more before stopping.

"I'll go back and adjust the filter later, then send the photos to everyone." Ye Zhining said while flipping through the photos.

"All are big beauties, is there still a need to retouch?" Luo Quan laughed, her tone full of confidence.

"Not everyone is like you, having a flawless beauty that doesn't need PS at all." Wen Xia frowned and patted Luo Quan's perky butt, punishing her arrogance.

After returning to the hotel, Luo Quan ordered a royal seafood feast, which would be delivered directly to the room later, so there was no need to go to the restaurant.

The photos Ye Zhining took were also sent to the group quickly; although fans had always wanted to see the group photo, Luo Quan didn't send this one out.

After all, there were still a few members who hadn't come; it wouldn't be too late to send it after they arrived and took a real "family photo".

Except for Su Yu, Luo Quan called all domestic and foreign members of Springwater Entertainment this time, so quite a few people were still on the plane and wouldn't see them until tomorrow.

After a while, the royal seafood feast Luo Quan ordered was delivered.

A group of people gathered in the room to share the feast; Luo Quan took a photo, also wanting to share their joy with fans.

"Truly pleasing to the eye... I mean the lobster."

"People look good, lobster is also delicious, all good all good!"

"Such demeanor, should have a poem."

"Where did so many tricks come from, I have no culture, only know how to say awesome and 666."

"Haha, suffered from lack of culture."

………………

Obviously, the fans' focus wasn't on the feast, still concentrated on the girls dining.

The few swimwear photos sent during the day had completely raised the fans' expectation for this Hawaii trip; flipping down the comments section, basically all were urging her to take more photos.

And some asked her to stream.

Bilibili can post videos wearing swimwear, but really don't know if streaming directly wearing swimwear is okay.

Although she was indeed granted special permission, she still had to pay attention to the measure.

To avoid being revoked the privilege because of being too excessive, Luo Quan still decided to be cowardly.

At worst, upload more swimwear videos this time, letting fans see enough at once.

To tell the truth, swimwear photos and videos really can't be compared.

The latter has both picture and sound, and can see the linkage of the whole body, which is an advantage that photos cannot compare to. 【1091

The only drawback was probably that downloading them would be a bit troublesome.

Because Luo Quan used high-definition recording equipment, usually 2K or higher, and the videos were quite long, a single download was often several gigabytes.

For those with poor home internet speeds, unless they paid for a membership, they could only stare at speeds of a few dozen to a hundred KB/s and grind through it.

But now, that worry would certainly no longer exist.

As the boss, she didn't have the nerve to livestream in a swimsuit, but she certainly had the nerve to upload swimsuit videos directly—and a lot of it!

It is worth mentioning that when watching videos on Thunder or cloud drives, there were no bullet comments. This video upload would surely garner an exaggerated amount of viewing data.

Just as the weather forecast said, it rained.

Not long after everyone finished eating and returned to their rooms, it started raining. Although there was no thunder, the raindrops were quite large—the kind that would make your face hurt if you stayed out in them for too long.

Luo Quan stood by the door and looked out, feeling that filming a video in such an environment would lack any aesthetic appeal.

Getting that wet, she might as well just go for a swim in the ocean; plus, the scenery in the water would be even better.

Ye Zhining sent a message at this time, saying the rain was too heavy and, since it was night, it wasn't suitable for filming, so they should wait until tomorrow morning.

Sure enough, even Ye Zhining felt it wasn't the right time.

"OK, then I'll play on my phone for a while and then rest," Luo Quan replied immediately.

"I have an early morning court session soon, so I'll go back to deal with those ministers and come back tomorrow morning."

Ye Zhining's reply left Luo Quan speechless; she really was a master of time management.

Having just spent the whole afternoon playing on the beach with her, she had to go back immediately for an early court session—she really was busier than average.

Fortunately, this early court session only happened once every three days, which translated to nearly once a week in Earth time; thinking of it that way, it wasn't too tiring.

However, if it were her, she definitely wouldn't want to be this 'Emperor' thing.

What's so good about being an Emperor? It's far less comfortable than slacking off.

Shaking her head, Luo Quan grabbed a bath towel and walked into the bathroom, preparing to wash off the sand and sweat from her body.

The beach is great for everything, except that when you lie down, your hair easily gets covered in sand.

And the sand by the seaside is relatively wet, making it very easy to stick to one's hair.

For girls with slightly more delicate skin, washing off this sand might even scratch the skin; even if it didn't bleed, it could leave white marks.

But Luo Quan didn't have these concerns; she scrubbed however she wanted, as she was indestructible anyway.

After her shower, Luo Quan used her internal energy to dry her hair directly.

This was a life hack she had learned from Bai Xingwei; she could have mastered it a long time ago, but no one had ever told her.

It was only when she was taking a bath at Bai Xingwei's house before and saw her hair dry instantly that Luo Quan curiously asked about it, and then she learned about this convenient 'hair dryer'—which was simply using internal energy to steam it dry.

Luo Quan's internal energy was scorching Pure Yang Essence; never mind a hair dryer, she could even start a fire to cook a meal without any issues.

If she practiced controlling the heat more, she could even be like Xingye from 'God of Cookery' and use her palm to heat up a fried egg.

Of course, this skill, which sounded very cool, was completely pointless and had no practical significance.

However, drying her hair was quite practical. Luo Quan channeled her energy from her shoulders and blew it directly around her head; her wet golden hair quickly became dry, and the moisture on her body also diminished significantly.

Tossing aside the bath towel, Luo Quan dove straight into bed, wrapped in a thin quilt.

This was a habit formed during last summer.

Last year, high temperatures persisted across the country, even reaching forty degrees.

Even with the air conditioning on, it sometimes felt hot. Sometimes, thinking the AC had been running all day, she would turn it off to let it rest, only to be met with heat that felt like it would steam a person alive.

No matter how strong one's constitution is, if it's hot, one will still feel hot.

If the AC breaks, you can just buy a new one, but if a person gets heatstroke, that won't do.

So that summer, the air conditioning in the entire villa almost never stopped; it was running almost constantly.

As far as Luo Quan could remember, last year was definitely the hottest summer ever.

In previous summers, high-temperature warnings only turned red in the provinces and cities around Yuzhou, while other places were still fine.

But this time, almost the entire country was red; every place had a high-temperature warning.

This was indeed very rare. It was said to be global warming caused by excessive carbon dioxide emissions; last year was just the beginning, and it would only get hotter from here.

Luo Quan didn't know for sure if that would happen, but the habit of sleeping lightly in the summer had been formed.

Anyway, she was in her room, so of course, she would do whatever was most comfortable.

However, she still took safety measures very seriously; when playing on her phone, she used two small stickers to cover the front and rear cameras, so there were no security risks.

As for the room she was staying in, she had the system scan it for everyone when she entered, and no pinhole cameras were found.

Come to think of it, when she stayed in some hotels domestically before, she really did encounter cameras.

But they were always scanned out by the system as soon as she checked in, so they didn't cause any bad effects.

But sometimes it felt disgusting to think about, because before her, many people must have been secretly filmed.

But hotels aren't allowed to install cameras in rooms, so the real culprit could never be found.

After confirming there were no loopholes, Luo Quan opened her phone, wanting to see if she and Xu Yanqing were still on the trending list.

Bad news: she had fallen off the trending list, probably because fans had seen too many of her swimsuit photos and had developed immunity, expecting even bolder and more spectacular ones.

Good news: Xu Yanqing's was still there.

Because netizens really hadn't seen anyone in the entertainment industry with such a good figure; even in that other 'entertainment industry,' this figure was quite explosive.

And Xu Yanqing's looks were also quite high-tier, so her current influence was truly one of a kind.

Sometimes, a female celebrity can truly become an A-list star just based on photos of her great figure and high beauty.

Back when Fan Ye hadn't committed tax evasion, she also relied on various stunning appearances at foreign film festivals to create the illusion that she was very popular and held a very high status.

In fact, counting the works since her debut, very few reached the passing line, and most of the rest were terrible films.

So sometimes, having a good figure and being pretty is truly a massive advantage.

Xu Yanqing could actually follow Fan Ye's original path, relying on her aura and figure; as long as she walked a few foreign film festival carpets and marketed her popularity and status, she could then 'export to domestic sales.'

By then, her status would definitely be much higher than if she had worked her way up step-by-step domestically.

As everyone knows, the moon is rounder abroad, after all.

Anything that goes abroad for a spin can have its value increased several times over.

And if it were a local foreigner, they would be even more welcomed upon arriving in China.

And at this moment, a piece of news that appeared on the trending list was also related to foreigners.

When Luo Quan first saw it, it was at number thirty-one on the trending list; the popularity wasn't very high, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

But after a few minutes, it reached number twelve, rising rapidly.

This immediately caught her attention, and she clicked into it.

"BMW apologizes"—what exactly happened to make this big company apologize?

After Luo Quan looked at the sequence of events, she finally understood.

It was nothing more than discriminatory treatment; it wasn't the first time, and it wasn't just this one brand.

It's just that when such things happened in the past, everyone's emotions weren't as explosive as they were now, and people were relatively more tolerant.

Perhaps it was because similar incidents were rarer back then, and people assumed it might have been a work-related oversight rather than intentional.

Plus, the speed of online information transmission wasn't as fast as it is now, so it didn't cause much of a stir.

But this time, it should be the result of accumulated discrimination, and the netizens' backlash was extremely fierce.

Coupled with the fact that this apology statement lacked any sincerity, no one was buying it at all.

In fact, the incident this time was simple to summarize: BMW held a car show, and two employees were giving out ice cream to guests visiting the show.

Initially, a domestic girl went over to ask for ice cream, and the female employee told her they were out.

As a result, not long after, a foreigner walked over to ask, and the two female employees immediately brought out the ice cream, with a very fawning attitude.

All of this was filmed by a boy nearby.

After the foreigner left, he continued to step forward to ask for ice cream, and the two female employees changed to a different face, telling him again that they were out; after a while, they even had other employees come over to take away the box containing the ice cream.

This kind of blatant discriminatory treatment was simply a slap in everyone's face.

What was even more outrageous was that the two female employees' usual videos on Douyin showed quite normal makeup, but on the day of the car show, they made themselves up into 'Western-style high-fashion faces'—what their intentions were was almost self-evident.

The two female employees certainly wouldn't have nothing better to do than to wear such ugly makeup to work; it must have been directed by the bosses above.

Combined with this series of operations, netizens were beyond furious, directly cursing this apology PR post onto the trending list.

It had been a long time since netizens had cursed a person or an event with such shared hatred; this time, BMW Mini succeeded in doing so.

Seeing the public sentiment so indignant, Luo Quan also went to join in the fun, reposting it with the comment:

"So the question is, if I go to ask for this ice cream, will I actually get it or not?"

So far, no celebrities had made any comments on this trending topic; after all, some were BMW endorsers, and more hoped to develop collaborations in the future, so they were unwilling to offend one of the pinnacles of the automotive industry.

But Luo Quan didn't care about that at all; she even wished BMW would go bankrupt tomorrow so that everyone could come and buy her company's new energy vehicles.

Of course, this kind of thing could only be thought about.

However, as a celebrity, she was the first to speak out.

Although it was in a mocking tone, everyone knew Luo Quan liked to be sarcastic about such phenomena.

So the comment section was quickly flooded with a large number of netizens whose anger hadn't been released, turning to her for support, wanting to make the matter even bigger.

The best result would be to make BMW's stock price plummet by twenty percent in a single day.

Unfortunately, it was more likely that BMW would lower prices, and then there would be many buyers.
