Pei Haotian and his companions were greeted with overwhelming headlines when they disembarked that day.

#The New Golden Melody Award King's personality collapses#

#Pei Haotian and three others steal meat#

#To be a star, you must first be virtuous#

#Traffic stars cannot override basic morality#

It’s just that Pei Haotian is the most popular of the three in public. He alone has attracted the attention of all the onlookers, and the relevant discussions also revolve around him.

Many mainstream media outlets have also criticized their immoral behavior.

In front of others, Pei Haotian said righteously: "If it comes from an inglorious source, I won't eat it." Behind others, Pei Haotian said: "No matter if it comes from an inglorious source, I'll show off my ten kilograms."

The three of them were hilarious. They even set up a crime scene with simple props. Is this really their first time doing something like this? My friend and I were laughing our asses off.

Although I didn't capture the crime scene, I can already picture it in my mind: three people stealing things stealthily, leaving paw prints on the ground.

[The Crispy Noodles raccoon must have known that someone was slandering it, so it came here to expose the evidence and prove its innocence.]

[If nothing else, "instant noodles" played a major role]

[Thanks to Pei Haotian's fans for redefining "elite education" and letting me understand what a "high-quality idol" is.]

Where are Pei Haotian's fans? They were just saying they wanted those who slandered their brother to apologize, but now they've all disappeared.

[Stop looking, I'm embarrassed for them. They should be digging into the castle with their toes right now.]

Pei Haotian's former fan came uninvited. I first thought my house had collapsed, then I was happy that it hadn't. Then they told me that my house had completely collapsed. Don't look for it anymore, I'm already out of the hole (lights a cigarette)

Although passers-by were just watching the joke, a small number of people expressed their support for Pei Haotian.

"What are you doing? Are you so eager to sentence someone to death? You're not involved in the incident, so how do you know the truth? Can't you wait a little longer?"

[I still choose to believe in Tian Ge unconditionally, not for anything else, just because he is the first idol I like]

[Except for Brother Tian himself coming out to clarify, I don’t believe anything others say. It’s nothing, I just trust Brother Tian’s character.]

[Regardless of whether it was Brother Tian who did it, I believe he must have his own reasons. Don't try to persuade others to do good without first experiencing their suffering.]

Come on, you guys, you're still deceiving yourselves now. You're even more ridiculous than your Tian Ge. If he were truly innocent, would he just quit the show in disgrace?

[You can never wake someone up pretending to be asleep. Keep pretending to be asleep. I'd like to wait and see how your brother Tian's PR copy is going to clean it up.]

Pei Haotian received a call from his agent as soon as he was able to receive the signal. Even before he had time to go online, he could guess how this matter had fermented online.

As soon as the agent got the news, he summoned the public relations department and held an emergency meeting at the company.

The solution has come out, which coincides with Wei Xuan's original idea. Pei Haotian must not take the blame, otherwise his future will be ruined.

Given Pei Haotian's status, if his reputation was ruined, what he would lose would not be his endorsements and contracts, but the stocks of their Pei family business.

The agent will not set his sights on Shan Yanli because they belong to different companies and it is difficult to control.

Of course, the best scapegoat can only be Wei Xuan.

He is an ordinary citizen without any background. He has been in the industry for many years but is not even popular. He has only a few hundred thousand fans on public platforms. It is only appropriate to use him as a scapegoat.

Pei Haotian hung up the phone with his agent and subconsciously looked at Wei Xuan.

At this time, Wei Xuan had just finished a phone call with his agent and his eyes met Pei Haotian's.

It can be seen from Wei Xuan's dejected look that his agent told him the public relations plan.

His agent not only told him the PR plan, but also gave him a good scolding.

He was given such a good opportunity to show himself, and so many people were vying for it, but he didn't know how to cherish it at all.

He also listed several of his crimes in detail.

First, his performance on the show was very poor and he did not play his role. Pei Haotian should not have gone hungry at night.

Second, regardless of whether the idea was proposed by Pei Haotian or not, he should have stopped it in time, or avoided Pei Haotian from being involved in this matter.

Third, his crisis handling ability was not up to standard. After the incident was exposed, he did not immediately stand up to help Pei Haotian take the blame. He only thought about himself and was too selfish.

In order to make Wei Xuan willingly take the blame, Pei Haotian, as the second boss, made a lot of promises to him.

"Although you may be a little wronged this time, don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly."

"If you switch to working behind the scenes, I can guarantee that your income will be no less than that."

"I can also set up a separate studio for you. You can train people or make music on your own. It's entirely up to you."

Every promise was telling Wei Xuan that he could never get on the stage again.

Wei Xuan was lost in thought the whole time and didn't express anything.

The conditions given by Pei Haotian can be said to be very sincere. If Pei Haotian can fulfill his promises, Wei Xuan should have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

But if you ask him if he is willing to do that, is he willing to just stay silent behind the scenes?

I am definitely unwilling to accept this, very unwilling to accept this.

He came to the big city alone to make a living, sang on the streets, performed in bars, participated in competitions big and small across the country, and even lived in someone else's recording studio for two years. He was finally appreciated and successfully signed by a company, thinking that he had finally made it.

Reality ruthlessly shattered all his hopes.

It is wishful thinking for ordinary people with no background to want to make a name for themselves.

After waking up from the dream, he still has to accept the reality with a smile.

His contract is still in Pei Haotian's hands. Breaking up with him will only make his future life more difficult. Instead of struggling fearlessly, it is better to accept everything with pleasure.

At the very least, he could win the favor of the second boss and guarantee his future income.

After recognizing his identity, Wei Xuan no longer called him senior brother and was very polite to Pei Haotian.

"Don't worry, Mr. Pei. I understand everything. Let me handle this matter."

Pei Haotian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wei Xuan's answer, but he could also see the reluctance in Wei Xuan's heart.

"With the amount of information online these days, netizens will quickly be drawn to other news, and the discussion will soon fade. Once the hype dies down, if you still want to work on stage, the company will wait for the right opportunity to arrange your comeback."

Wei Xuan smiled bitterly. He is 34 years old now. How many more years can he wait?

Besides, what is the right opportunity? What if the company feels that the opportunity is not suitable?

Wei Xuan didn't want to think about these questions anymore. His status didn't qualify him from thinking about them, and thinking too much would only be a waste of time.

He said politely: "Thank you for taking so much trouble, Mr. Pei, to help me consider so much."

Pei Haotian: "It should be."

Shan Yanli was lucky and found a loophole in the middle.

Of course, her company was unwilling to lose her as a cash cow, and actively negotiated with Pei Haotian's agency. It is unknown what resources were exchanged, but the final result was that she could follow Pei Haotian and keep herself out of trouble.

"You have to speak nicely next time and not reveal any flaws, okay?" Pei Haotian was most worried about Shan Yanli. This woman was too utilitarian.

Shan Yanli curled her lips. Does she need him to teach her this?

"I know what's important."

That afternoon, Wei Xuan posted a long article, detailing the cause and process of the whole incident.

For example, why did he have the evil idea, how did he carry out the action, and finally how did he ask his teammates to help cover it up for him.

He was the one who planned everything, the one who did it, and the one who tried to cover up the truth.

If Pei Haotian was wrong in this matter, it was only because he was not firm enough and did not stop Wei Xuan in time. Later, he was soft-hearted and helped Wei Xuan cover up.

He also specially apologized to Pei Haotian, saying that Pei Haotian did not clarify the matter at the time for the sake of his image, which caused everyone to misunderstand, and he was the one who implicated him.

Wei Xuan took all the blame on himself, sincerely apologized to the public, and announced that he would withdraw from the entertainment industry indefinitely in order to seek everyone's forgiveness.

Of the more than 2,000 words in the public relations copy, 500 words were used to describe what happened, 100 words were used to apologize to the people, and the remaining 1,000 words were used to excuse Pei Haotian and apologize to Pei Haotian.

Afterwards, Pei Haotian and Shan Yanli also posted on their public accounts.

Although he kept apologizing, his words were trying to distance himself from the matter, saying that they did not do the crime and that he was sorry for being an accomplice.

The three public relations articles were released and soon sparked heated discussions among netizens.

Didn't the same person really write your PR copy? I even read it carefully, word for word, and I realized I read three identical versions.

"I know everyone's narrative method is different. How did you three manage to be so consistent? Did you exchange brainwaves?"

[What kind of PR are you guys doing? The duplication rate is 100%. Take it back and rewrite it! No, take it back and re-edit it!]

How can I believe what Shan Jie said? She has a criminal record.

[There are three people in a group. Wei Xuan is the only bad guy. He does all the bad things. The other two are just nobodies. Wow, he's such a big shot. Two people who are much more famous than him are actively covering up for him.]

Can Wei Xuan eat two or three pounds of bones and shells by himself? With such a good appetite, if she doesn't want to be a celebrity, she can become a food blogger. There is still a market for big eaters (dog head)

[Another question, if Wei Xuan was the one who did all the bad things, then have Pei Haotian and Shan Jie ever eaten these things?]

[Oh right, none of the three people's PR copy mentioned this issue, so did the two of them eat it? ]

Public relations tactics are only meant to save face for the parties involved and to distance themselves from the incident subjectively, but they cannot truly clear their name.

So as soon as their public relations document came out, there were a lot of questioning voices.

The public relations department of Pei Haotian's company had no plans to sleep tonight. They were prepared for a long-term battle and would go down to guide the public opinion as soon as they found anyone questioning it.

Do you know why they all say the same thing? Because they're all telling the truth. How many flowers can one truth bring out? Can some people use their brains a little more?

[Well, sometimes being kind is a sin. Everyone knows that Wei Xuan is Pei Haotian's junior apprentice, and Pei Haotian has always been very caring towards his fellow apprentices. He often brings him along when he goes on TV shows. This time, he was willing to protect him out of his love for his fellow apprentices and not wanting to see his future ruined. It can only be said that he used the wrong method.]

Pei Haotian truly suffered an unprovoked disaster. Think about the first three days, even in his downfall, he never committed any petty theft. So why did he have an accident on the first night after Wei Xuan arrived? Isn't the answer obvious?

There are many different opinions on the Internet, including bystanders, internet trolls, and black fans. Some people think that all three are not innocent, while others firmly believe that it is Wei Xuan's fault alone.

But there is no truth without video, so netizens thought of the program crew.

They all called on the program team to release the evidence as soon as possible and not to hide it. They wanted to know the truth.

Pei Haotian's agency naturally thought of this, so they called the program crew a long time ago and asked them to give them all the shooting materials and not keep any backups.

Director Guo was dealing with the mess left behind by Pei Haotian and the others at the time, and he was already overwhelmed.

I found it incredible to hear the other party's request. The program contract clearly stated that they were doing a live wilderness survival reality show.

The show shows the stars' true selves, and every detail will be presented truthfully on TV. The guests have no secrets this week.

Now he is asked to hand over the program materials without being able to back them up, which does not meet the requirements of the contract.

Director Guo explained to the other party: "The film sources all belong to our station, and the control rights also belong to our station. I regret that we cannot give you the film sources. This is against the rules, and I don't have the right to do so. But you can rest assured that we have strict review standards and will not show anything that should not be shown."

The other party first said nice things to coax Director Guo, asking him to do a favor and do him a favor, and he would definitely benefit from it in the future.

It’s a pity that Director Guo doesn’t like this kind of thing the most. Besides, he has worked in the TV station for more than 20 years and has access to all the resources. He can’t buy into their promises.

In the end, the other party said all the nice things they could, and seeing that Director Guo was not going to be persuaded, they started threatening him again, saying that they knew so-and-so, who was also an acquaintance of their director.

Director Guo immediately got angry and told him to tell the station director to call him so he could have a good discussion with the station director about whether they still needed to follow the station's rules and regulations.

Finally, I hung up the phone and blocked the other party's number.

After a while, the station really called Director Guo, but it was not the station director, but a producer from the station.

The producer used both soft and hard tactics on Director Guo, sometimes asking him to give him face, and sometimes saying that he would suffer the consequences if he offended others, and he might not have the money to shoot his next show.

Directors who can achieve some results all have tempers. If the other party threatens and bribes him again and again, even a clay man will have a temper.

Director Guo patiently and knowingly said to the producer with a smile, "Brother, let me be honest with you. At night, I only used the infrared lens, pointing it inside the house. I didn't capture anything outside. They insisted that I give them the source footage. It's not that I don't want to, but what can I give them? I can't just make one out of thin air."

After fooling the producer, Director Guo turned around and changed his attitude.

"I asked you to look for last night's infrared video. You've been searching for hours, and you still haven't found it?"

Assistant Director Xiao Zhao hesitated and said, "I found it, but..."

"But what? If you have any questions, tell us all at once." Director Guo lost his patience.

Assistant Director Xiao Zhao: "But I still didn't capture the footage, I only recorded the sound."

"The sounds they make when communicating?"

"It's just that the wind is so loud that we can't hear the voices clearly. Director Guo, please come and listen." Assistant Director Xiao Zhao handed the headphones to Director Guo.

Director Guo frowned and listened for a moment before saying, "Send it for noise reduction processing and then send it out."

"Do you really want to post this?" Assistant Director Xiao Zhao asked, "Will this offend anyone?"

"The audience has the right to know the truth," Director Guo said. "We can't let one person take the blame."

Assistant Director Xiao Zhao nodded.

"Be smart, post it on your regular work account, delete it after a minute, and replace it with a normal behind-the-scenes video."

The producer at the station felt relieved after talking to Director Guo on the phone, thinking that it was just a misunderstanding caused by communication problems between the two parties.

He also conveyed this to Pei Haotian's company, and Pei Haotian and the company finally felt relieved.

Although Pei Haotian didn't think the production crew could film anything, he had already known that there would be no filming at night. His agent made a special call just in case, but he didn't expect Director Guo to bother him for so long.

At this time, Wei Xuan was also staying in the company and did not leave, because he was ready to stand up at any time, and his mission would not be completed until the storm calmed down.

He was already numb, sitting there like a walking corpse. It had been so long since he came back, and he hadn't even had a sip of water.

When the agent saw the new entertainment news coming out and Pei Haotian's popularity had subsided, he finally felt relieved when he heard the news from the producer.

Next, we need to resolve Wei Xuan’s remaining issues.

He said to Wei Xuan, "It's not convenient for you to continue living in the company's apartment right now. It will be troublesome if paparazzi follow you. How about this? You move out and find a place of your own to hide for a while. The company will give you a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per month."

"What about my work..." Wei Xuan looked at Pei Haotian, referring to the studio he had agreed to.

Pei Haotian: "What I promised you will take some time, so go back and wait."

Your agent said, "What you need now is some quiet time. You're always in a hurry to come out and work. Why don't you just retreat and focus on your creations first, and polish your work carefully. When you make a comeback, we can strive to become a huge hit."

Wei Xuan refused to listen to his agent's beautiful blueprint. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed it.

He returned to the company's apartment in a daze and began to pack his luggage.

A new person who lived with Wei Xuan happened to come back and saw a messy scene as soon as he entered the door. He had undoubtedly seen what happened to Wei Xuan today and guessed that Wei Xuan had moved out temporarily because of what happened today.

He opened a bottle of water and asked as he drank, "Did they find you a new place to live?"

Wei Xuan didn't want to talk, but he had a good relationship with his roommate over the past year, and his roommate was also a kind-hearted person, so he did not ignore his concern.

"No, I'll go out and find a place to live by myself."

When the roommate heard this, he was so shocked that he dropped his water and said, "No? Then where are you staying tonight?"

"Let's find a hotel to stay in for one night and then look for a house tomorrow."

"You have to find a house yourself? I don't believe the company can't provide a house. With so many dormitories and apartments, and all those senior executives, who doesn't have a house to offer? You take the blame for them, and this is how they treat you?"

When the roommate saw the news, he was sure that Wei Xuan was the scapegoat.

Based on his understanding of Wei Xuan for more than a year, Wei Xuan would not do such a thing.

"They said they would compensate me in the future, set up a studio for me, and help me if I wanted to make a comeback."

"Tsk, do you believe their lies?"

Wei Xuan shook his head. He wasn't sure, but he had no choice now. There was no turning back.

"They kicked you out of the apartment that very night and didn't even give you a place to live. Do you think that's compensation? I'm not being conspiratorial, don't you think it's more like killing the donkey after it's done its work?"

Wei Xuan didn’t know whether he was being kicked out of the apartment, but he did feel uncomfortable.

He didn't have many things, so he packed them up quickly.

Before leaving, his roommate had one last heartfelt word with him.

"Things have come to this point. Even I, your brother, can't help you. I hope you'll be more careful in the future. You can't always say yes. You need to learn to say no and think more about yourself. Don't let others sell you out and then help them count their money."

Wei Xuan didn't expect that even at this point in his life, there were still people who would talk to him confidentially. This circle wasn't entirely filled with snobbery and calculation.

"I understand. I wish you a bright future."

My roommate waved his hand and said, "Don't wish me a bright future. I'm planning to terminate my contract and leave anyway."

"Why do you want to leave?" Wei Xuan didn't understand. His roommate had good conditions in all aspects and was valued by the company. It was very likely that he would make his debut today.

My roommate rolled his eyes and said, "It's called sympathy for one's own kind. After seeing how you ended up today, I'm afraid I'll end up like you one day. I'd be stupid not to run away."

Wei Xuan smiled and said, "No matter where you go, I wish you a bright future."

He walked to the first floor of the apartment alone, pulling his suitcase. The summer evening breeze was extremely hot, but Wei Xuan only felt cold from head to toe.

His roommate's words gave him some reminders, and he began to wonder why he was being driven away today. Did they really want to get rid of him?

Wei Xuan realized that he couldn't just leave like that. If he left, he would be in a very passive position. He could only hope that the company and Pei Haotian would remember him someday.

They thought about themselves and whether they were willing to spend money and energy to cultivate themselves.

Their contract does not include a basic salary. To put it bluntly, when Wei Xuan cannot find a job, he may not even be able to get the 2,000 yuan subsidy.

The more Wei Xuan thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he simply called Pei Haotian.

"Mr. Pei, I've thought about it. Can I stay in the apartment? I want to continue living in the apartment. I promise not to go out during this period and not cause any trouble for you."

"Or you can help me find a small studio, and I can sleep anywhere in the studio. I don't care about the environment. By the way, I can also get familiar with the work, so that I don't rest for too long and then have trouble taking over the work."

Pei Haotian was already exhausted after running around all day, but Wei Xuan still didn't trust him and called him late at night to remind him not to forget his promise.

Is he so untrustworthy?

Pei Haotian was in a bad mood, which led to his tone being not very good.

"Why are you so anxious? I promised you something and I won't break my promise. Can you please obey the company's arrangements and stay quiet for a while? This will not hinder you from making money and becoming famous later."

Then Pei Haotian hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Wei Xuan didn't dare to call Pei Haotian again and could only call his agent.

The agent should be with Pei Haotian now. When he received his call, he knew what he wanted to talk about.

Straight to the point, "Wei Xuan, do you lack trust in us? If you're always suspicious of the company, how can we continue to cooperate in the future?"

Wei Xuan asked again if he could continue living in the apartment.

Agent: "I've already told you why I asked you to move out. If you continue to live in the apartment, not to mention the paparazzi, the artists from the company coming and going, pointing fingers at you, you won't feel comfortable, right?"

The agent was more talkative than Pei Haotian. He talked a lot without giving Wei Xuan a chance to say a word.

When he hung up the phone, he seemed to hear his agent complaining about him in dissatisfaction.

"He's crazy about being famous."

The agent was indeed dissatisfied with Wei Xuan. He had explained so many reasons to Wei Xuan, thinking that he would understand. However, he lost his temper and called him again and again.

"Are you really going to set up a studio for him? And let him sign his own people?" the agent asked Pei Haotian. "That's going to cost a lot of money."

Pei Haotian didn't think too much when he made the promise. He just hoped to convince Wei Xuan as soon as possible.

At this moment he was a little hesitant, after all, Wei Xuan was not that valuable.

"Let's see how he performs."

"People like him are always greedy. You can't satisfy all his demands, otherwise he will push you too far. I think you should leave him alone for a year or two to temper his edge. Then, you can give him any job he wants and he'll be grateful."

Pei Haotian didn't say anything, but he also acquiesced to this approach.

"The online craze has passed, and the comments are good for you. Get some rest tonight, and we'll have a meeting tomorrow to discuss future development directions."

Pei Haotian really needed a good night's rest. It had only been a few days on the island, but to him it felt like several years of torture.

Putting Wei Xuan's question behind him, he soon fell into a deep sleep on his soft and comfortable big bed.

What he didn't know was that not long after he fell asleep, a five-minute video once again set the Internet on fire.
