Chapter 112 The Scumbag's Method

Xia Chenggan woke up, opened his eyes, and found himself in his own room.

Without a doubt, Zhou Ran must have had it thrown back to him.

If it were the Zhou Ran of the past, she would definitely have taken the opportunity to get close to him.

But he just likes Zhou Ran, who is currently ignoring him.

I don't like Zhou Ran, who's obsessed with him.

Humans! Sometimes they're just so despicable!

Xia Chenggan was amused by his own thoughts.

Her radiant smile made even the morning sunlight lose its color.

After Xia Chenggan finished tidying up, he was once again the upright and refined young master.

He went downstairs to have breakfast.

The housekeeper recounted what had happened the previous night.

"Is Zhou Ran alright?"

"It's nothing. I saw him drinking a beverage when he came back. There's nothing wrong."

Xia Chenggan was too worried to think clearly; how could such a small matter frighten Zhou Ran?

"What's going on over there?"

"They said they accidentally encountered thugs while out, but the police are still blocking information. Should we investigate?"

"No need, the police have plenty of capable people, we don't need to interfere."

The butler nodded silently to indicate that he understood.

After finishing his breakfast, Xia Chenggan summoned his bodyguards again, doubling the number of guards he had.

Zhou Ran was not afraid of those situations.

Xia Chenggan still secretly hoped that Zhou Ran could avoid or stay away from danger.

Zhou Ran didn't wake up until the afternoon, and he rubbed his hair.

I've been a bit lazy these past couple of days, sleeping all the time.

But these are the most enjoyable days, hahaha.

No hassle at all, I slept until I naturally woke up, it was absolutely wonderful.

Zhou Ran went downstairs to eat.

The butler relayed Xia Chenggan's instructions for the day, and Zhou Ran was introduced to the additional bodyguards.

"Alright, you all stay hidden in the shadows. Otherwise, what would it look like if I went out on the street with a string of bodyguards behind me?"

"yes."

After finishing her meal, Zhou Ran casually scrolled through her phone.

Sure enough, the internet is already buzzing with arguments, with a small number of people talking about Qiao Han's new drama in a more normal way.

However, many people are spreading rumors about Qiao Han and the male lead, Jing Qi.

Some of them have a close relationship and were boyfriend and girlfriend before.

Some say they fell in love while filming, and their on-screen romance turned into a real-life relationship; they are now boyfriend and girlfriend.

Of course, there were even more people who cursed him. Jing Qi had a rumored girlfriend before.

His fans already knew this, and now that Qiao Han's fans are all in, they're a perfect match.

Many of Jing Qi's fans started attacking Qiao Han's fans.

There were all sorts of criticisms, and some even suggested that Qiao Han was a habitual mistress.

It has a nose, eyes, and evidence.

It is said that Qiao Han's several relationships were all obtained by third parties.

In particular, Qiao Han's boyfriends are all from wealthy families.

As a result, Qiao Han's drama didn't become a hit, but she became infamous because of her past relationships. People everywhere were digging into her romantic history.

Zhou Ran watched the online flame wars raging everywhere, her face beaming with the excitement of a gossipmonger.

These people can't even figure out what's going on; it's obvious that Shaoyang was behind this.

However, judging from the development trend, it seems that Qiao Han's competitor has entered the fray.

This is to condemn Qiao Han to the pillar of shame and completely destroy her reputation.

I wonder how this intelligent actress will handle this crisis?

It's something to look forward to.

Zhou Ran, meanwhile, was just watching the drama unfold, completely detached from the situation.

Both the parties involved and those not involved were furious.

The first place to be bombed was Shaoyang.

He roared into the phone.

"I gave you money to manipulate public opinion and tie Qiao Han and Jing Qi's relationship to each other, and how did you manage to do that?"

"I'm sorry to you all! What am I doing spending so much money to support you? Get me a solution right now!"

"Is this okay? Are you sure?"

"Okay, do it this way. Make it clean and don't let them find out."

After hanging up the phone, Shao Yang still felt a little flustered.

But now we're in a bind, there's no other way.

He then called Gu Tingxiao, with whom he had some prior acquaintance.

With Gu Tingxiao's help, this matter can definitely be resolved quickly.

Gu Tingxiao was in a meeting, listening to the crisis management presentation with a headache.

"That's it? This is your plan? Feng Fang, you agree?"

Feng Fang is Qiao Han's agent. Qiao Han is currently on set, and their phones are in the hands of the staff for filming purposes.

Feng Fang asked that Qiao Han not be informed of the public opinion that had spread online overnight.

He urgently coordinated with the public relations team to handle the situation.

Of course, he wasn't one to sit idly by and wait for his doom. He had already arranged for someone to contact online trolls to guide public opinion and steer it in another direction.

"I haven't agreed yet. Qiao Han has truly suffered an undeserved misfortune this time."

As you know, all of your previous boyfriends had reported their relationships to their companies.

"What 'mistress' nonsense! Someone is trying to smear my artist."

Just as Gu Tingxiao was about to speak, the phone rang.

Gu Tingxiao frowned. Why was Shao Yang calling him at this time? Was he trying to protect Qiao Han, or to put pressure on him?

He had heard that Shaoyang was gradually taking over the Xia family's business recently.

Gu Tingxiao waved for them to continue, then went outside to answer the phone.

"Mr. Shao, you're such a busy man, what made you think of calling me?"

They are quite familiar with each other, their two families have cooperated, and they are of similar age.

Gu Tingxiao's side works in the entertainment industry, and Shaoyang's side is also involved in the entertainment circle, so they have some connections.

Shao Yang spoke with a grin.

"Isn't it because we need something from you?"

"What is it that makes you, Mr. Shao, use the word 'beg' so harshly?"

"Well, I'll get straight to the point. I saw the news online about Qiao Han..."

"Oh," Gu Tingxiao indicated that he had heard and waited for the other party to express their attitude.

"Given such a huge public outcry, what does President Gu plan to do? Clarify the situation?"

"I have this plan. As you know, Actress Qiao is our pillar now, and I have to protect her no matter what."

Gu Tingxiao directly expressed his attitude.

Of course, they are also adding weight to the case, regardless of whether Shaoyang wants to protect people or punish them.

He said that the price would have to be increased after he said that.

"Haha, Gu Tingxiao is so righteous. I won't beat around the bush either. I think you should put this matter aside for now."

"Oh, then I don't understand what Mr. Shao is trying to do?"

Gu Tingxiao pretended to be stupid. Shao Yang cursed him in his heart as an old fox.

"I want to talk to Qiao Han and hear what she thinks. I can't make a decision on my own, after all, this matter could be a big or small one."

Gu Tingxiao gave a mocking smile. He was going to use this matter to blackmail Qiao Han and make a deal.

What a scoundrel! He has absolutely no sense of responsibility.

Qiao Han's taste in men is really terrible; each one is worse than the last.

“As Mr. Shao said, I definitely want to help, but this matter has become a big deal. Our company also has shares in the production team this time, and if it continues to be delayed, it will waste a lot of money.”

Shao Yang gritted his teeth, cursing Gu Tingxiao in his heart for not letting go until he saw the bone.

He still spoke with a smile on his face.

"I heard that Mr. Gu is interested in building a film and television city in City A? We are also considering expanding our hotel. It would be perfect for our two companies to cooperate, a powerful alliance. As for the profits, I can decide to give up 2 percentage points."

Gu Tingxiao was satisfied; business is only profitable when there is profit involved.

Talking about feelings costs money.

Trying to get things done based solely on personal relationships is just being a scoundrel.

"As long as Mr. Shao says so, I'll have someone keep things quiet and observe the situation."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Gu."

The call ended, and Gu Tingxiao smiled with satisfaction. Shao Yang on the other end gritted his teeth, knowing that it was a pretty good result.

He picked up the phone and called Qiao Han; he wanted to talk to Qiao Han now.

This matter is a bargaining chip. If it doesn't work, he wouldn't mind letting Qiao Han know what the consequences of threatening him are.

A fierce glint flashed in Shao Yang's eyes.

Gu Tingxiao hung up the phone and immediately gave instructions at the meeting.

"The meeting is suspended. We won't do anything for now. You all keep an eye on things online. Don't let things escalate, and don't try to silence anyone!"

"yes."

Everyone was confused. Why were they trying to suppress public opinion and clarify things just now, but now they weren't?

Everyone knows it must be because of that phone call they just received.

Once the leader has spoken, they immediately go about their work.

I'll also prepare the clarification draft in advance, just in case I need it later.

Completely bewildered, Feng Fang simply followed in Gu Tingxiao's footsteps.

After we arrived at his office and he closed the door, I began to ask him questions.

"Mr. Gu, are we just going to leave this matter as it is?"

If this issue isn't resolved quickly, it will affect the promotion of the new drama and also damage Qiao Han's public image.

They put a lot of effort into maintaining Qiao Han's image.

If this continues to escalate, the brands that Qiao Han endorses will definitely come after her.

It's important to know that a celebrity's personal image is also something that brands care about.

“I warned you before that you need to manage the artists under your management. If you can’t manage them, then focus on managing one. Look at you now.”

As a veteran agent, Gu Tingxiao was always polite to Feng Fang.

This time, the tone carried a hint of reproach.

Feng Fang is so smart that she immediately realized where the problem was.

"Qiao Han's ex-boyfriend did this?"

No wonder he couldn't find the mastermind behind the investigation.

Those marketing accounts also kept silent, which clearly shows they were paid.

I also checked on our old rivals, but they haven't made any moves. Those who might be involved are either on set or in closed training.

How could I forget about all those bad romantic encounters she had?

"Hehe, no, don't worry about this. Go to the film set and keep an eye on the people. Make sure they don't cause any trouble."

"Yes, I understand."

Feng Fang's face turned pale instantly. Gu Tingxiao said it wasn't her ex-boyfriend.

Could it be her current boyfriend? This boyfriend is acting so mysteriously.

Qiao Han was wary of him and hid very well.

He recently assigned two promising new employees to his assistant, and he's keeping an eye on them.

When I went to look for someone last time, I noticed something was wrong and asked Qiao Han.

She said she was an ordinary person and did not want to appear in public.

Later, paparazzi photographed her having an affair with Shao Yang, who was in the same drama crew, but Feng Fang didn't care.

These paparazzi are used to scam money using this kind of thing.

Qiao Han also explained that not only Shao Yang was there that day, but also the producer and his group. This photo was simply taken out of context.

Feng Fang didn't think much of it and spent a little money to buy the photos back.

He recalled that Gu Tingxiao had asked him about this matter before.

He explained everything and stated that it was a misunderstanding.

What did President Gu say at the time?

He said, "Qiao Han is an artist under your management, and you need to manage everything about her well."

Pay more attention to both work and life.

He didn't think of anything else at the time, but now it seems that it was President Gu who reminded him.

Qiao Han! How dare she fool him? She's gotten too big for her britches! Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
