Chapter 229 Clarification Statement

Because all the members of the Boom band are very clean-living, some already have girlfriends, and some are already married.

As the team leader, Zhou Heran has devoted himself to his music career and has had almost zero scandals in the ten years since his debut.

It is precisely because the band is so well-behaved and easy to manage that, even though they have been popular for ten years, although some people are envious, even paparazzi who have been staking out the band for years have not been able to dig up any scandals.

Therefore, the public relations department of the band Boom is jokingly referred to by fans as the number one department in China that earns high salaries and enjoys making money while lying down.

And so, Zhou Heran suddenly caused this scene last night.

The PR department staff had all gone home to sleep early, but the agent's relentless calls forced everyone to come in and work overtime immediately.

Despite working through the night, they still couldn't bring the trending topic down.

Because if it was released by paparazzi, they can completely whitewash it from every angle.

But the crucial point is that this Weibo post and this video were edited by Zhou Heran himself after logging into Weibo.

Zhou Heran is contradicting himself; not only the PR department, but even his die-hard fans can't defend him.

Moreover, Zhou Heran is too well-known, and he even contradicted himself. One trending topic was removed, but a new one appeared, making it no different from playing whack-a-mole.

What made the agent even more furious was that Zhou Heran, the instigator, vanished into thin air after posting on Weibo.

No one answered the phone, no one replied to the messages, and eventually the phone was even turned off.

Even his agent suspected that Zhou Heran had used this self-destructive way of announcing his relationship to go sleep with this mysterious girlfriend.

Otherwise, besides sleeping with the other person and getting carried away, the agent really couldn't think of another possibility.

But that is precisely the other possibility.

“Zhou Zhou, it’s not that I don’t want you to date, and I won’t stop you if you want to make it official, but at least you should let me and the studio know in advance, right?”

"You can't just drop a bombshell online to make your girlfriend happy and then go off to have some alone time with her, not even answering her calls. Do you know how we got through that night?"

Just as Zhou Heran was about to explain, Qi Xi, who couldn't stand others misunderstanding her idol, said impatiently, "Sister Hong, you've misunderstood. Zhou Zhou was drunk last night, and he suddenly had an inspiration, so he asked me to record a video for him."

"He just wanted to release a new song, then he fell asleep and his phone died. He didn't mean to not answer your calls, that's all. I'm so sorry for causing you and the public relations department so much trouble."

The agent exclaimed, "You're Zhou Zhou's girlfriend? Your voice sounds familiar."

The word "girlfriend" was so hot to hear that Qi Xi's heart raced, his cheeks burned, and he even stammered.

"No, no, no... no, we're just, just ordinary friends. I was just drunk last night. If a statement is needed to clarify, I will fully cooperate."

Zhou Heran's story became a trending topic, sparking a massive wave of discussion. It even crashed Weibo's servers last night when it was first posted on the platform.

As a die-hard fan, Qi Xi was even more anxious than Zhou Heran himself, wanting to explain the whole story to the public.

But Zhou Heran was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he said, "It's just a misunderstanding. But this is indeed a new song that I plan to release on my next album. There's no problem with putting it here."

"I'll handle this, so you don't need to worry about it. I'll hang up now."

Before the agent could say anything more, Zhou Heran hung up the phone.

Qi Xi asked nervously, "Zhou Zhou, how can I cooperate with you? Is it possible that issuing a written statement won't be effective? How about I do a live stream and explain the whole story to the public?"

"Xiao Qixi, if you start a live stream and your true identity is exposed, netizens will quickly dig up all your secrets. Your life will be completely disrupted, and you won't have a peaceful day anymore."

Qi Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "I'm also partly responsible for this. I knew you were drunk, but I still recorded a video of you and didn't do any tests afterwards."

"If I had stayed up a little later last night and checked my phone, I would have found out sooner and things wouldn't have turned out like this. So even if I get exposed, it's okay for me."

The little girl's face was full of sincerity, and her eyes were full of worry for him, without considering her own situation at all.

Zhou Heran's heart stirred slightly. He couldn't help but raise his hand, feeling both amused and helpless, yet with a hint of doting affection, and gently rubbed Qi Xi's head.

"Silly girl, if I can't even handle this little problem, do I deserve your love for ten years?"

The word "like" was so embarrassing that Qi Xi's ears turned even redder, and she blinked blankly.

"So, Zhouzhou, what are you planning to do?"

Zhou Heran snapped his fingers. "Simple. Just say I got drunk last night and had the new girl in the studio record a new song for me. And that ambiguous last sentence was actually meant for the fans. What do you think of this explanation?"

Qi Xi's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, exclaiming, "A perfect combination of illusion and reality! Brilliant!"

"But I'm afraid that many netizens still won't believe it when the time comes. How about I use my Weibo account to claim that I'm a new employee of the studio and verify it from my perspective? Would that be more credible?"

However, before Zhou Heran could reply, Qi Chenyan said, "He brought this trouble upon himself. As a grown man, if he needs a young girl to solve even this small problem, what kind of man is he?"

"Xiao Xi, you don't need to worry about this. Besides, you've only been with Tianhe Group for a short time. There are countless eyes watching you, openly and secretly, hoping something will happen to you."

“If you get involved in this, it won’t be good for your personal reputation. My suggestion is to let Lao Zhou handle it himself. It’s just a little embarrassment, and he can afford to lose face.”

In fact, Qi Chenyan didn't have much affection for his elder brother's family, and the reason he cared about Qi Xi was because she was his wife's best friend.

The mess Zhou Heran caused should naturally be resolved by himself. If a man doesn't even have this much responsibility, he doesn't deserve Qi Xi's admiration for so many years.

"Uncle, please don't say that. I want to help Zhouzhou willingly."

Either they haven't even started dating, or their relationship is already so strained that it's unbearable to look at them together.

Yu Li didn't say much, but chuckled and poked her best friend's forehead, "Xi Xi, don't worry, let's see what He Ran does first. If his method doesn't work, then we'll think of another way together."
