Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.
The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.
Reborn, he vowed ...
After dinner, the two browsed Weibo for a while, because Huansheng's public relations team started to step in, and the previously explosive negative rumors were finally explained.
In short, while there were indeed unreasonable aspects to Huansheng Entertainment's contracts in the past, those were all before Yin Chengjue joined Huansheng. The managers at that time were appointed by the other shareholders, who made a lot of money through those shady operations, and it all went into their pockets.
Two years ago, Yin Chengjue was not so much parachuted into Huansheng Entertainment through nepotism, but rather arranged to take over a mess.
To get to the bottom of it, the reason Yin Chengjue came here was because Yin He wanted to arrange a job for him, but Feng Chengda offered to do it himself. Yin He didn't think too much about it at the time and just handed it over to Feng Chengda. So, Feng Chengda arranged for Yin Chengjue to work here.
Yin He had indeed investigated Huansheng, but not in depth. Moreover, she had always regarded Huansheng Entertainment as a litmus test for her son, mainly to give him practice. Therefore, she left everything to Yin Chengjue to handle himself. Even if he ruined it, she could transfer her son to another company.
Unexpectedly, Fengchengda left such a mess for Yin Chengjue.
In his previous life, Yin Chengjue was indeed overwhelmed with dealing with these matters. This was mainly because he was a complete novice at the time and was unaware of the situation. Moreover, these scandals were unearthed and released by others, leaving him completely unprepared and directly confronting a barrage of public opinion attacks.
The situation back then was similar to now; the official Weibo account and the comments section of his Weibo posts were bombarded with criticism, and although the public relations team intervened promptly, the effect was minimal.
Because the PR team didn't time things right, they came in to explain shortly after the scandal broke. Those who only wanted to see the scandal hadn't even finished reading the story, so why would they want to hear an explanation?
After they finished gossiping, they were too lazy to look up the official explanations anymore. They only remembered these scandals and spread them everywhere.
In this life, Yin Chengjue took the initiative to dig up and expose all the dirt on Huansheng, letting it all out in one go. The public relations department was like dead, not moving an inch. Only after everyone had eaten their fill of gossip did the public relations department step in to explain each piece of dirt, making it easier for people to accept.
In addition, this whole exposé was orchestrated by Yin Chengjue himself, so there's no need to worry about it getting out of control. Let's just leave it at that and treat it as a spectacle for everyone to enjoy.
It's just that... Rong Yu was implicated.
Yin Chengjue looked at Rong Yu's Weibo comment section, which was filled with hundreds of thousands of vulgar comments, and his eyes darkened slightly.
Perhaps he should wait and take a more prudent approach...
“Brother, look at these comments. They say it’s disgusting that I used my body to get ahead. It’s hilarious! I’m the one who’s benefiting from being able to use your body, brother. I’m happy about it. How could it be disgusting? He must be jealous of me!” Rong Yu showed Yin Chengjue her private messages on Weibo.
Yin Chengjue: "..." No, his meaning might be a little different from what you understand.
Rong Yu: "Hahaha! Brother, look at this again. He said I'm not proper and don't respect myself. Hahaha, does he live in a world without sex and reproduction?"
Rong Yu: "And this too, saying that I only know how to suck up to sugar daddies and sell my butt for resources, tsk tsk tsk, I do more than just suck up to sugar daddies, I also want to strip them naked!"
Seeing Rong Yu typing as she spoke, Yin Chengjue said, "Don't reply to these private messages, just block her."
"Huh? This isn't a private message, it's a Weibo comment." Rong Yu looked up innocently.
Yin Chengjue: "...Then why are you typing?"
Rong Yu: "I'll talk back to him."
"..." Yin Chengjue quickly picked up Rong Yu's phone, only to find that Rong Yu had already sent the reply!
When will trashy RY retire from the entertainment industry? Trash like RY, who only knows how to suck up to sugar daddies and sell his body to get resources, is the black sheep of the entertainment industry!
Rongyu iycjV replied to @垃圾ryWhenWillYouRetire: I don't just flatter my sugar daddy, I also want to strip him naked. Although your words are vulgar, it seems like I'm the one who benefits no matter how you look at it? If this counts as being a bad apple, then there must be quite a few others. You keep shoveling your poop, I'll keep digging up sugar daddies. You push your dung ball, I'll hug my handsome, desirable sugar daddy. A new day, keep it up!
The comment was posted and immediately became a top-rated comment!
Sometimes, liking isn't for the sake of liking, but to get more people to see it.
After several days, with the intervention of Huansheng's public relations team, the public learned the truth about the matter and realized that Yin Chengjue was just a scapegoat. Rong Yu, who had been lying low for a long time, finally came to the forefront!
Yin Chengjue looked helplessly at the comment Rong Yu posted, "If you post this at this time, those people will turn their guns on you."
Rong Yu didn't care: "Do you think they won't spread rumors if I don't post them? Besides, I was just replying politely. Look, I didn't use a single swear word!"
Yin Chengjue: "..." But its power is much greater than swearing.
As expected, Rong Yu's reply was quickly screenshotted and posted on Weibo by marketing accounts, who embellished it with exaggerated claims.
Surprisingly, the comments section had a rather novel style.
Comment 1: To be honest, I think Rong Yu's words make sense. I would be willing to pay someone to sleep with a sugar daddy like that.
Comment 2: Why do I sense smugness in Rong Yu's words? It seems like getting resources is just a side benefit; his main goal is probably to strip his sugar daddy naked.
Comment 3: If you look back at the night Rong Yu angrily confronted the haters, you'll understand that he was very satisfied with this sugar daddy, and it gives people the illusion that "he came to the entertainment industry just to pick up sugar daddies".
Comment 4 replied to @Comment 3: I don't think this is just my imagination... If the haters keep attacking him, he might really just run away with his sugar daddy and leave the entertainment industry.
Comment 3 replied to @Comment 4: Hahaha, running away with a sugar daddy, is that even possible? I can picture it in my mind!
Comment 5: Haha, now he knows to stand up. Where was he when his sugar daddy's Weibo account was being attacked? He didn't dare utter a single word! Now that Huansheng's official explanation has come out and Huansheng's stock price has started to rebound, he knows to show off? Haha!
Comment 6: Huh? What's with that? If your eyesight isn't good, I suggest you get some glasses~ Didn't Rong Yu say anything? He left and reposted to show his support after Yin Chengjue posted that article. Because of this, he was also affected by public opinion. For as long as Huansheng was being criticized, he was being criticized too. All the other artists from Huansheng were pitiful victims exploited by Huansheng, and their fans felt sorry for them. But he was attacked on Huansheng's side and relentlessly smeared! You say he didn't say anything? That would be okay for any other artist from Huansheng, but it's really not okay for him!
Comment 7: Comment 6 really hit the nail on the head. The most pitiful one in this whole thing is Xiaoyu, right? He's also an artist under Huansheng Entertainment, and he's also a client. Huansheng Entertainment had a problematic contract from over two years ago, and he only signed with Huansheng after that. He has absolutely nothing to do with this lawsuit. His only connection is that he and Yin Chengjue officially announced their relationship, and Yin Chengjue only took over managing Huansheng Entertainment later. Those problematic contracts weren't signed by Yin Chengjue either.
Comment 8: That's hilarious! You believe everything the company says? It's all just hype! Just because they say those contracts aren't their business doesn't mean they really aren't!
Comment 9: Comment 8 in the front row is a bit funny. Are you saying that all the negative rumors are definitely true, and all the other person's explanation is definitely false? It's because of this kind of thinking that people who spread rumors feel emboldened, right?
Comment 10: The comments section suddenly reminded me of something. When Huansheng Entertainment was embroiled in a storm of scandals a few days ago, who were the first artists to announce their contract termination with Huansheng? I wonder if they regret it now.
Comment 11 replied to @Comment 10: Haha, what's there to regret? Even if Huansheng can handle this mess now, sue all those involved, resolve all the cases, and give everyone a proper explanation, the company is probably already finished. Even if they manage to clear their name in the end, so what? With their reputation ruined like this, who would dare to invest resources in Huansheng? Without resources, how will Huansheng promote its artists? Will they compete with other influencers for live-streaming e-commerce business? Hahaha!
Comment #11 resonated with fans who were urging their artists to leave Huansheng Entertainment, and they all liked and commented to express their agreement.
Especially Yu He's fans, they had already heard from the big fans that their idol had successfully paid the breach of contract fee, left Huansheng, and signed with Chang's entertainment company. There are more resources there, and their brother will definitely get better development there than he did at Huansheng!
Yu He's fans were overjoyed, celebrating their idol's escape from misery in the super topic, while also spreading misery everywhere, saying how miserable and pitiful their idol's treatment at Huansheng was, how few resources he had, and how few endorsements he could get.
However, not many people were willing to buy into their attempt to play the victim. Yu He had two TV series and one movie broadcast that year, all of which had good ratings. He also officially announced that he would be filming two more dramas, and he could be seen in several variety shows. His name was also frequently on the hot search list, and none of them were negative. Even if marketing accounts exposed Yu He's bad news, Huansheng Entertainment would immediately send a lawyer's letter to warn the haters. Compared to other entertainment companies, Yu He's treatment at Huansheng was quite good.
Yu He's fans disagreed, believing that he deserved all the resources he received, and that others who received such resources might not become famous. They argued that the company's lack of resources hindered his career development.
