Chapter 40: Let's see how he turns the tables.

"Life is fleeting, life is fleeting, this time you're in for a world of hurt."

"I'm now eager to know what kind of expression that guy has right now."

"We've handled this matter flawlessly, and even if someone has doubts, they won't be able to produce any evidence."

Zhu Yan, Professor Cai, and Professor Hao gathered together, drinking and eating snacks. They were in high spirits, and there was no trace of their previous bad luck.

Currently, a heated online battle has erupted on Weibo.

A large number of students from Washington State flocked to Fusheng's Weibo account to hurl insults and questions, demanding a public apology from him.

Fusheng's fans were naturally unhappy and started arguing with these students, attracting a large number of onlookers.

Fusheng's Weibo followers peaked at over 40 million, but with the outbreak of this incident, his follower count plummeted to less than 10 million.

The vast majority of these lost fans came from Washington State, while some were misled by public opinion and felt that Fusheng's character was flawed, so they became indifferent instead of fans.

"If I were Fusheng, I probably would have come out to apologize long ago."

"He's still young. Now most of Washington State is speaking out on Weibo. If he doesn't step up to quell public anger, it might affect his career."

"Even the entertainment company behind him will be affected. I heard that Tianrui's market value evaporated by 1 billion yuan when the market opened today."

"I bet Fusheng's boss would love to kill him right now."

The higher you're lifted up, the harder you'll fall.

"You reap what you sow. It's one thing to play music, but you have to cross over into literature."

"What should we do if he actually comes out and apologizes?"

Professor Cai asked a question out of curiosity.

"I've thought about this, and my stance is the same: I'll deny it to the death."

Zhu Yan looked as if he had everything under control.

At this point, Zhu Yan seemed to remember something and frowned slightly: "I've always suspected that someone is secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"I feel the same way."

Professor Hao nodded and said, "We've had it too easy this time, almost unbelievably so. And I've even started to have a thought."

What are your thoughts?

Zhu Yan and Professor Cai immediately looked up at Professor Hao.

"Have you noticed? As soon as we start, the rest of the dirty and hard work is immediately taken care of by others, and they do it perfectly, with excellent results."

"This is definitely not something an individual could accomplish; I suspect there's a team pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Professor Hao's eyes flickered.

"This makes me even more certain that there is a force at work behind the scenes."

"It could be targeting Fusheng, or it could be targeting Tianrui Entertainment."

"But no matter who its ultimate target is, it is on the same path as us. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so we don't need to investigate it too deeply."

Zhu Yan tapped his index finger lightly on the table, sneering repeatedly: "This time, let's see how Fusheng turns the tables."

…

Xiazhou.

Tianrui Entertainment Company.

“President Zhou, look at this mess. Lin Rui must apologize on Weibo. This has seriously affected the daily lives of our artists.”

He Qing loudly complained to Xu Jinmao.

In fact, they are both in a great mood right now.

We've been waiting for this day!

Because Lin Yueyin, Yang Qing, He Qing, and Xu Jinmao are, to some extent, on the opposite side of Lin Rui.

Since the public outcry on Weibo, they have been celebrating privately quite a bit, almost to the point of holding a wedding banquet to show off their achievements.

"Apologize? Apologize for what?"

Luo Qi stepped forward and sneered, "Tell me, what did Lin Rui do wrong that he needs to apologize to those pedantic scholars?"

"It's no use telling us that."

He Qing said earnestly, "Luo Qi, I know you have a good relationship with Lin Rui, and Lin Rui has made great contributions to the company, but that cannot be a reason to protect him."

"As a public figure, one must be careful with every word and action. Now look what's happened, such a huge commotion, how much trouble has it brought to the company?"
