When Shen Yu found Tao Mu, Tao Mu was asking the employees of Feixun.com to upload the number of frames of each contestant appearing in the program to the official Feixun of "National School Flower and School Prince" - because many netizens were questioning the unfairness of the program team, giving a certain contestant far more shots than others.

Tao Mu had anticipated this kind of doubt at the beginning of filming, so he followed the practice of a certain extreme fan in the United States and asked the program team to ensure that the number of frames for each contestant was roughly the same in the post-editing.

Netizens who have been following the National School Beauty and Campus Prince Selection Contest probably didn't expect the program production team to do such a bold move and were immediately shocked.

"After watching movies and TV series for so many years, this is the first time I know what frame rate is."

"This production team is really cruel. How could they do such a thing?"

"The person who said that the program team was unfair and that Tao Mu abused his power to give his friends more shots, please stand up. You questioned the program team without any evidence. Are you that great?"

"Looking at the official news from the program team, Tao Mu had this concern when they first started recording the program, so he personally told them to ensure fairness. He even made extremely strict frame rate requirements. What should I do? I always think that Tao Mu is so cute when he's so serious."

"Generally, for the sake of ratings, the program team will definitely give more shots to contestants who are talented and popular with the audience. It is understandable that they will take care of contestants with backgrounds. In the previous talent shows, the contestants who signed contracts with the TV stations had so many shots that they almost occupied half of the program time, and no one said anything. Feixun.com is quite rare."

"Maybe it's because I'm not short of money. So I don't care about the contestants' backgrounds. I try my best to ensure absolute fairness."

"In my words, if you have money, you can do whatever you want."

"It's a pity that I was a MB..."

"Why are you doing this again! I've already said that I, Mu, have never been a MB. It was Yuxiao Media that bribed more than a dozen media outlets to frame him. Tao Mu and Ye Se have already taken them to court. Why are there still people who don't believe it?"

"He just pretends to be blind with his eyes open. It takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them. But my Mu is handsome, has good acting skills, is talented, and has money. He is a typical winner in life. He doesn't care about those blind, dirty-mouthed, and black-hearted haters who smear him."

"Some people's fans are so shameless. I admit that Tao Mu is handsome and rich, but how can you tell that he has good acting skills? Just based on Shen Yu's empty words and brainless bragging?"

"I think Shen Yu must have a special relationship with Tao Mu, right? This time Tao Mu was blackened by more than a dozen media outlets, and the contestants on the show basically said nothing, and some contestants even threatened to withdraw from the competition to avoid suspicion. Shen Yu was the first to stand up for Tao Mu, and I was moved by his sincere words. On the contrary, Tao Mu usually ignores Shen Yu. I feel sorry for Shen Yu. Anyway, if I had a friend like Shen Yu who could speak up for me at a critical moment, I would definitely spoil him to the sky."

"The one above is a fan of Shen Yu, right? As expected, fans follow their idol, and their words are so cheesy."

"Come to think of it, isn't Yao Wenxiao, the president of Yuxiao Media, Shen Yu's childhood friend? I remember that when Shen Yu came to see Tao Mu, it was Yao Wenxiao and Shen Yu's mother and sister who accompanied him. So they should know each other. Why are they making such an awkward scene?"

"!!!! What's going on? Go upstairs and tell us everything you know!"

"Actually, there's nothing much to say. Almost everyone in Shanghai knows it. Shen Yu is the youngest son of the chairman of the Shen Group, and Yao Wenxiao is the grandson of the chairman of the Sheng'an Group. The Yao and Shen families are old friends, and Yao Wenxiao and Shen Yu grew up together..."

"Is this two people crazy? One paid to discredit Tao Mu, and the other jumped up and down on the Internet to speak for Tao Mu. Could it be that the two of them had discussed this?"

"It's terrifying to think about it. Think about it, if the fact that Yao Wenxiao bribed more than a dozen media outlets had not been exposed by Ye Se, how would things develop? Even if Tao Mu and Ye Se sued those dozen media outlets, it probably wouldn't involve Yao Wenxiao. And then Shen Yu kept jumping around on the Internet, creating a persona that he was stabbing his best friend in the back. By then, would Tao Mu, who was blackmailed by so many media outlets, be very grateful to Shen Yu for speaking up for him?"

"They're going to sell Tao Mu out and ask him to count the money for them!"

"Fuck, this is too much, right? Shen Yu looks so silly and sticky, how could he have such a mind?"

"What's impossible? Don't forget that Shen Yu is the youngest son of the Shen Group. As a second-generation rich man born into a wealthy family, he has seen all kinds of intrigues. Do you really think he is a naive person?"

Just as netizens were discussing the conspiracy, Shen Yu also found Tao Mu who was hiding in the technical department of Feixun.com.

"Mumu, please come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Shen Yu stood outside the technical department with eager eyes. There were two security guards following behind him - because Tao Mu had specifically reminded them that even though the two security guards particularly disliked Shen Yu, they did not do anything rude.

Tao Mu was afraid that the security guards would be influenced by Shen Yu's halo and get into trouble accidentally. However, the security personnel of Feixun.com mistakenly thought that Tao Mu really regarded Shen Yu as a friend, and they were a little indignant in their hearts - these security personnel were all people who followed Liu Yao in the past. Liu Yao raised Tao Mu as his son, and this group of people also treated Tao Mu as their nephew and were quite close to him.

"You guys go and get busy first." Tao Mu nodded to the two security guards and took Shen Yu back to his office, but he didn't close the door, allowing the employees outside to secretly prick up their ears and eavesdrop on what was going on inside: "What do you want to say?"

"Mumu..." Shen Yu mustered up his courage and looked at Tao Mu pitifully: "Can you let Xiao go?"

Without waiting for Tao Mu to speak, Shen Yu said to himself: "I know that what A Xiao did this time was really too much. You must be very angry. But I can guarantee that A Xiao definitely didn't mean it. Just this time, if you let him go this time, he won't dare to do it again in the future."

"Mumu," Shen Yu walked forward and tried to grab Tao Mu's sleeve, but Tao Mu dodged him. He bit his lip with a look of disappointment: "Can you please let him go for my sake? You are all my best friends, I don't want you to make trouble like this."

Tao Mu suddenly remembered that in his previous life, when he and Shen Yu were at loggerheads, Shen Yu also stood in front of everyone and said to him with such an innocent and aggrieved expression: "Why do you treat me like this? I have already returned my father, mother, brother and sister to you, and you also kicked me out of the Shen family. I said I won't fight with you, I just miss my father, mother, brother and sister occasionally, so I secretly ran to the outside of Shen's Group to see their figures. Don't you even allow me to do this kind of thing?"

"Tao Mu, why are you so cruel?"

"Yes, because of that accident, you didn't grow up with your parents. But I haven't seen my biological parents either. We are the same in this regard. It's just that I am luckier than you. I have met such a good family as my parents, brothers and sisters. I know you hate me for this. I don't want to make any excuses. But I must admit that it is precisely because they are so good to me that I can never give up on them emotionally. I know you are not happy to see me in the Shen family, so I have moved out. I have given you everything I can give back. Can't you even meet Mr. and Mrs. Shen occasionally outside and talk to them? Such a small wish can't you satisfy it?"

"Mumu, can you promise me that you will forgive Xiao this time?"

The memory receded like a tide, and Tao Mu came back to his senses and looked at the identical face in front of him. But I feel very calm.

He was actually very puzzled about one thing, which was why Shen Yu could always make any request with confidence, regardless of whether his request was reasonable or whether it would make others embarrassed, and he always had such a self-righteous look on his face.

"What position do you have to say this to me?" If it were in the previous life, Tao Mu would be immediately overwhelmed by anger when he saw Shen Yu like this. What follows is all kinds of hurtful words, which may then happen to be seen by Shen Yu's admirers or Shen's family members. Those people would immediately stand up and blame Tao Mu with heartache. Then Tao Mu refuted back without thinking, and fell into a vicious circle.

But in this life, Tao Mu felt that his psychological quality was much stronger, and he could even ask such questions calmly.

"What?" Shen Yu seemed to have not expected Tao Mu to ask him such a question, and was stunned.

"I mean, what position do you have to say this to me?" Tao Mu repeated patiently, "The first person to attack me was Yao Wenxiao, and he was also the one who was accidentally caught. I just passively fought back to make him understand that adults must be responsible for their actions. He did something wrong and violated the law, and he should face legal sanctions."

"But, but I am willing to apologize to you on his behalf?" Shen Yu's eyes turned red: "He did something wrong and you caught him. Can't you forgive him just this once?"

Tao Mu suddenly chuckled.

Yao Wenxiao tried to slander him but was caught by him. Then a massive and premeditated smear campaign implicated his reputation and the normal life of everyone in YeSe, causing the thriving Feixun.com to lose hundreds of thousands of registered users and tens of millions of dollars in advertising fees. Tao Mu was cursed and slandered by irrelevant people with the most vicious words. The two sides even confronted each other in court. Shen Yu thought he could solve the problem by apologizing.

In his previous life, someone took away his identity, his parents and family, making him, a rich young man worth billions, live such a humble life. Shen Yu thought he could solve the problem by apologizing.

After being kicked out of the Shen family by him, she still always showed up at the Shen Group and places where the Shen family members often appeared. She had clearly agreed not to meet with the Shen family members and not to disrupt his family and his life, but she repeatedly broke the agreement. When she was caught by him, she cried and apologized in grievance, thinking that this could solve the problem.

Shen Yu has been this kind of person in both of his lives and has never changed.

"Not all mistakes can be solved by an apology." Tao Mu smiled slightly. He suddenly felt that he had spent two lifetimes just to reason with someone like Shen Yu who was confused. It was simply wishful thinking.

"Mumu!" Shen Yu looked at Tao Mu with hope. Tao Mu's overly peaceful attitude gave him hope: "I know you are very angry, but I think you should apologize if you do something wrong. Yao Wenxiao was really wrong this time, and I will talk to him about it later. Can you forgive him this time for my sake?"

"No." Tao Mu said firmly.

Shen Yu's eyes immediately turned red. He looked at Tao Mu with an aggrieved look: "Why not? Is it because he is my friend? I know you have never liked me. You are unwilling to let A Xiao go, just to punish me, right? Well, as long as you promise to let A Xiao go, you can let me do anything. "

Tao Mu was shocked instantly. I don't understand why Shen Yu suddenly said such a thing. He originally thought he knew Shen Yu well enough. But now it seems that he still can't figure out Shen Yu's thought process.

"What do you have to do here——"

Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by an extremely high-pitched, hoarse scream.

"Tao Mu, what are you going to do to my brother?"

With several security guards trying but not daring to push them hard, Shen's mother, Shen Yan, and Yao Wenxiao angrily rushed into Tao Mu's office.

Shen Yan angrily hugged Shen Yu, who was crying and feeling particularly wronged, and looked at Tao Mu angrily: "Tao Mu, you are so despicable. How dare you use Yao Wenxiao's matter to force my brother. Do you really think that our Shen family is vegetarian?"

Yao Wenxiao was also furious: "Tao Mu, I was right about you. You are a villain who takes advantage of others. I was the only one who asked the media to expose your black material. If you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me alone, don't try to hit Xiaoyu."

Mother Shen also hugged her son with a distressed look on her face, and complained to Tao Mu: "Student Tao Mu, I don't know what our Yu Yu has done to you. When you were a nameless little martial arts substitute in H Town, everyone in the crew looked down on you, but our Yu Yu treated you as a good friend. He also wanted Wen Shijin to sign you and make you a star. Even if you don't like him, you shouldn't treat Xiao Yu like this because he likes you so much. Xiao Yu is an extremely simple child and treats people sincerely. I don't want you to hurt him."

Tao Mu pressed his solar plexus with a headache. He felt that facing these people was more energy-consuming than shorting the international crude oil market.

Tao Mu himself was not angry, as he had already gotten used to the thinking patterns and painting styles of Shen Yu and his flower protectors. However, the Feixun.com employees who had been secretly watching and eavesdropping outside could not stand it anymore.

"Are you sick? Boss, why don't we call the police? There's no way to reason with these people. I'll call the police and let the police and lawyers talk to them!"

Tao Mu's newly hired secretary girl couldn't help it, so she picked up her phone and was about to call the police. While she was on the phone, she cursed angrily: "If you are sick, remember to take medicine. Why are you making trouble in public? This is the headquarters of Feixun.com, not your home. You really think you are filming an idol drama. You did such a vicious thing and you dare to come here to apologize and ask for forgiveness. If I don't forgive you, I am cruel and vicious. People who film idol dramas know that it's useless to apologize and call the police!"

"No matter how much you guys are willing to act, our president is not willing to act with you!"

"That's right! Even if you want to shoot a TV series, you don't have to come to our Feixun website. We don't provide a venue."

"I'm really sick of it. Is this the quality of the Shen family in Shanghai? Is there any reason to force the victim to accept an apology? If the apology is not accepted, what else are you going to do with your power to pressure others?"

"It's a good thing that our Mr. Tao is not an ordinary person. If it were an ordinary citizen, he would have no way to reason with you after being bullied like this!"
