Zong Zhewei perfectly illustrates what it means to change one's attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
When he moved the table, the two sides completely fell out.
A group of people came and went in a hurry. The one who felt the most uncomfortable was not Chen Bei, but Li Qun.
He thought that with his presence as mediator, both sides could shake hands and make peace.
If both sides take a step back, everyone will feel good. When they become friends, they will definitely be better than enemies.
But who could have thought that Zong Zhewei was such a bastard, slamming the table as he said.
Everyone knows that Chen Bei’s new play is to promote Lan Qianyi, but you just asked him to replace Lan Qianyi. There is no way he would agree to it even if you think about it!
Now that both sides have fallen out, it's too late to say anything. Li Qun could only sigh and say to Chen Bei:
"Teacher Chen, I'm so sorry I couldn't be of any help."
"No, no, no, Mr. Li, you've already put in a lot of effort. This matter has little to do with you."
"We actually already have a contingency plan, so even if the talks fail, it won't have much impact on us."
"Is that so? That's great! But I still have to warn you, Zong Zhewei is really capable of doing anything, so you'd better leave Wandao as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I'll call the people below right now. The filming of the movie will not continue in the next two days."
"Come on, Teacher Li, please order some food. Now that we're here, let's eat something before we leave. I've benefited a lot from talking to you about acting just now, and I'd like to ask you some more questions."
The meal was quite enjoyable for both the host and the guests, and Chen Bei's mood was not greatly affected.
Before parting, both parties also agreed to find opportunities to cooperate in the future.
After returning to the hotel, Chen Bei gathered the team members for a meeting.
"The negotiations here have fallen through, so we can only implement Plan B. Pack up everything and prepare to leave. Have you contacted a new venue?"
"I have contacted several film and television bases, and they can provide the corresponding venues and sets." Chang Ming answered confidently.
"Very good, don't spread this news outside. Xiao Hou, please make sure to block the news."
"Don't worry, boss. We have the situation under control very well. We haven't had any direct conflict with the other party, so no news will get out."
"I trust you to do the job. The entire logistics team needs to be mobilized. I'll give you two days. I also need to finish the recording work here."
"We'll go back in two days. Everything will be fine, right?"
Chang Ming and others nodded. Although it was a bit hurried, Chen Bei had made plans in advance, so everyone was not panicked at the moment.
Instead, Hou Yuting sat there, looking at Chen Bei with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Chen Bei frowned and said:
"Just tell me what's wrong. What's wrong with you?"
Everyone also looked at Hou Yuting, thinking that this girl is not the kind of person who would be shy. What happened?
Hou Yuting hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said:
"Boss, I have something I want to report to you privately."
"Alone? Okay, then everyone go and get busy." Chen Bei waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave. He was now a little curious about what had happened that made Hou Yuting so cautious.
After only two people were left in the conference room, Chen Bei spoke:
"Tell me, what exactly is it?"
Hou Yuting said with a troubled look:
"I saw some rumors about you online today. I don't know if they are true or not."
Chen Bei suddenly became interested and said:
"About me? What rumors? Did the hype about Qianyi and me work?"
"It's not about you and Qianyi, but there's a rumor online saying that you've been married and divorced for a long time."
Chen Bei really didn't expect that this would be the case.
His divorce was no secret, but of course he wouldn't talk about it with everyone he met.
He was not opposed to others talking about his divorce. What he cared more about was where the news came from.
You should know that he and Luo Xiaonan only got a marriage certificate and did not hold a wedding.
At the time, only a few people knew about their marriage.
As for the divorce, even fewer people knew about it, limited to those on his and Luo Xiaonan's side.
"When did this news come out, and how widespread is it now?"
"It appeared two days ago, and it seems to have gained popularity today."
"What do netizens think about this matter? What is the direction of public opinion?"
"No one has taken sides yet. After all, it's just a divorce, and no other details have been revealed yet."
Chen Bei pinched his chin and thought for a while, feeling that even if the divorce news was exposed, it would not have much impact on him.
Anyway, it wasn't him who initiated the divorce, and there were no moral issues involved.
Thinking of this, Chen Bei waved his hand and said:
"Then don't worry about it. You should focus more on promoting your new movie and Qianyi."
Hou Yuting said with some worry:
"But the problem is that we want to hype up your relationship with Qianyi. Now that the public knows that you're divorced, will it affect our publicity?"
"Do you want to pause for a moment? I'm afraid that if someone with ulterior motives tries to manipulate you, it could create public opinion that's unfavorable to you."
This is indeed a problem. Do you know what kind of monsters are on the Internet these days?
Give that group of people a picture and they can make up a lot of incredible stories for you, so you must be on guard.
"Then let's put it aside for now and see how the online public opinion develops."
"After I get back, I'll hurry up and make Qianyi's new song. Let's promote her new song first."
That was the decision. Hou Yuting left to get busy, and Chen Bei returned to his room to make a plan on how to push Zuo Feibai.
But half an hour later, Hou Yuting knocked on his door again. This time, Hou Yuting looked a little anxious and said:
"Oh no, boss, something happened!"
"Calm down. Tell me what happened slowly." Chen Bei let Hou Yuting in and poured her a glass of water.
Hou Yuting had no mood to drink water now. She said impatiently:
"Someone just came out and broke the news, saying that your ex-wife is not a foreigner and Tang Bao is not your biological daughter. You have deceived the public."
"They also said your ex-wife was an artist named Luo Xiaonan, and that after you became successful, you filed for divorce, saying you abandoned her after having an affair with her!"
Chen Bei, who has always been calm and composed, couldn't help but want to swear after hearing this.
Shit, you're just a jerk!
Was it him who looked down on Luo Xiaonan? It was Luo Xiaonan who thought she was going to be successful and kicked him out.
Just when Chen Bei wanted to curse, Hou Yuting spoke again:
"The worst part is, Luo Xiaonan actually came out and confirmed the news. She said you're a scumbag and even said she'd hold a press conference to expose your true face to the public!"
