After coming out of Chu Yinlong's room, Jiang Dao hadn't had time to open his own door when he saw Jing Yu running over from next door in a panic. He grabbed his arm, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Dao laughed: "What can I do?"
Jing Yu hesitated: "Just, just that... I just hope you're okay..."
Jiang Dao asked: "Did you see the trending search?"
Jing Yu had a complicated expression: "I originally wanted to see everyone's comments on the variety show, but I didn't expect... But I believe you! I also believe Teacher Chu. You are not that kind of person. You act so well, but they just talk nonsense without even seeing you, and spread rumors without thinking! It makes me so angry!"
As he spoke, his face became more and more dejected: "Unfortunately, my Weibo is managed by my agent, so I can't speak for you..."
"Please don't." Jiang Dao was helpless, but also a little touched. "I don't care what they say. No matter how bad they say it, it can't kill me."
"But," Jing Yu said sullenly, "some things are just rumors, but when most people take them seriously, they become 'true'. If you have a bad reputation, no one will look for you in movies, TV shows or variety shows, and you will... Anyway, rumors can really kill people, so don't take it lightly."
"I see," Jiang Dao raised his hand and touched his chin, "If variety shows and the like don't invite me anymore, then I'll find a job as a chef in a restaurant. I have everything I need, so I won't starve to death."
Jingyu: …
After comforting Jingyu with a few more words, Jiangdao sent the man back and returned to his room.
As a result, before he could have a moment of leisure, Zhou Wei called again - as expected, she was also indignant about the rumors on the hot search, and was even more angry than he, the person involved.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Dao replied to the condolences from Tang Yao, Lu Jun and Cheng Zhiyi on WeChat. As the time passed midnight, Jiang Dao's phone finally became quiet.
Being cared for and greeted by so many people at once, Jiang Dao thought for a moment and decided to open Weibo and click on the trending search that had already topped the list.
Sure enough, there was a lot of cursing inside, and everyone was cursing him. The situation was completely one-sided, as if "clinging to someone powerful" and "unspoken rules" were things that he could handle alone and had nothing to do with Chu Yinlong. There are even many netizens who sympathize with Chu Yinlong for being entangled by disgusting people.
Looking at those remarks like "turning from a fan to a hater", "escape from the pit and step back", Jiang Dao curled the corners of his mouth and smiled. He wasn't being pretentious, he really found it interesting - with such an obvious bias in public opinion, he absolutely didn't believe that there was no one behind the scenes manipulating it.
But even though it is so obvious, there are still countless people who continue to come forward and are willing to be knives in the hands of others. These were exactly the same tactics of instigation and propaganda he had used to trick people into fighting on the front lines.
...Is this considered a changing of fortune?
Flipping through the hot search posts, Jiang Dao was in a good mood. He appreciated many unique ways of cursing in this world that he had never seen in books.
Until he pulled down to refresh the topic and saw a new post.
"I felt that this Jiang Dao looked familiar, so I looked through some old news. Sure enough, 20 years ago there was an actress named Jiang Ruo, and Jiang Dao's features were exactly like hers! Wow, this actress is really... I won't go into details, if you're interested, go search it yourself. If they are really in the relationship I guessed, I can only say, like mother, like son!"
Jiang Dao frowned and quickly clicked on the photo attached to the post.
The woman in the old photo was charming and seductive, with a pair of fox eyes that were alluring and captivating - exactly the same eyes he saw in the mirror every day.
Jiang Dao quit Weibo and searched for the name "Jiang Ruo". After browsing through more than a dozen articles, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
Jiang Ruo was a female star who was a flash in the pan twenty years ago. She became famous right after her debut for playing the female lead, a vixen, in "A Knife in the Red Dust". Unfortunately, her debut was her peak. Not long after that, she was exposed for selling her body to obtain film and television resources, and for interfering with the family of a wealthy businessman... After that, she completely disappeared, and no one knew where she went.
As for who that wealthy businessman is, no one knows. Only Jiang Ruo, who was dug out today, is still the only one who was pointed at and ridiculed in the whole incident.
When Jiang Dao returned to Weibo, he found that the post mentioning Jiang Ruo had been deleted.
At the same time, there were many overtly and covertly sarcastic voices in the hot searches, saying that he was worthy of his "family background" and so on, but they did not explain it clearly, only making it more obvious and leaving everyone with the impression that he, Jiang Dao, was a mistress.
Jiang Dao actually doesn't have much feeling about the concept of "illegitimate child".
In the end times, no one cares about a child's origin, and in the book he read, the original text did not contain any description of legitimate and illegitimate children.
So, judging from the comments on Weibo alone, "illegitimate child" seems to be a very serious label, but Jiang Dao himself cannot empathize with it.
He even read several posts trying to figure out who the mysterious rich businessman was, trying to find out his own background. As a result, all those analysis posts were deleted quickly without exception, and he could not find any useful information from the parts he saw.
Jiang Dao got tired of scrolling through Weibo and couldn't find any clues, so he simply gave up looking.
After washing up and listening to an e-book, he fell into a sound sleep hugging his quilt.
…
In another room not far away, the atmosphere was completely different.
In the end, Chu Yinlong did not personally confront the enemy as he usually did.
After seeing the post that directly pointed out Jiang Dao's background, he seemed calmer than before. While instructing the public relations of the studio to keep working hard, he was holding his mobile phone and doing something unknown.
When Lu Zhengrong called again, there was no trace of anxiety on Chu Yinlong's face.
"There's nothing we can do. Even if the tycoon is really Qin Jiangshan, it won't change Jiang Dao's situation." Lu Zhengrong's voice was a little tired. "And the current CEO of Tianqin Capital is Qin Xiao. He's not afraid of Qin Jiangshan's affairs being exposed. He may even have a backup plan waiting for you to expose. Otherwise, he wouldn't have exposed something that he has kept secret for so many years so easily."
"Well, I haven't thought about directly contacting Tianqin Capital." Chu Yinlong said in a steady tone, "We are too passive this time. Jiang Dao has received too much attention. We can only solve it within the entertainment industry first."
As for Qin Xiao's crossing the line this time, he will definitely find an opportunity to fight back in the future. After all, Tianqin Capital is not invincible in the business world.
Lu Zhengrong asked: "How are you going to deal with this? If you need any help, just let me know."
Chu Yinlong said, "Let's divert attention first. The direction of the entertainment industry is controlled by marketing accounts. Only by throwing out more topical events can we divert their traffic focus... I know an editor who has information about Li Cheng. I just contacted someone and confirmed that he can get it."
"Are you sure you can get it?" Lu Zhengrong chuckled, "At this critical moment, you've been bitten hard, right?"
"...It didn't cost much." Chu Yinlong said lightly.
"Okay, it's your own money anyway, as long as you don't feel bad about it." Lu Zhengrong said, "Anyway, Jiang Dao is now signed to your studio, so he can barely be considered an artist under Longqi. I have informed the public relations team here, and they will take care of it."
Chu Yinlong whispered: "Thank you, auntie."
"We are all family, why are you being polite?" Lu Zhengrong smiled. "However, why don't you ask your mother for help with the Qin family's affairs? Even if you can't touch Qin Jiangshan, it shouldn't be a problem to give Qin Xiao a warning."
"...I don't want to disturb her." Chu Yinlong paused and added slowly, "I don't want to owe my stepfather a favor."
After the communication was cut off, Chu Yinlong was busy for a while until the sky outside the window turned slightly bright, and this public relations finally came to an end. Perhaps because he had been nervous for too long, he did not feel sleepy for the moment. He took a shower and changed his clothes casually, then sat in the room for a while. Then he turned around and went out, slowly walking along the hotel corridor to the other end.
Standing outside the closed door of Jiang Dao's room for a long time, Chu Yinlong smiled bitterly and left silently.
…
Jiang Dao had a good sleep, and when he woke up, the sky outside the window was filled with morning glow.
Although, as a supporting actor, he does not usually have heavy filming tasks, he still arrives early every day to help. Today is the first day off for all crew members since the filming started. He can finally relax, stay in bed for a while, and go downstairs to exercise later.
After listening to a popular science article while lying on the bed, Jiang Dao put away his headphones and swiped the screen of his mobile phone, only to find that his WeChat had dozens of unread messages marked.
Jiang Dao yawned lazily, opened WeChat and received the message.
The first few messages were Jingyu and Zhou Wei comforting him by saying that a hero is not judged by his background… Jingyu was also particularly indignant, cursing the person who leaked the information, scolding the person who was trying to stir up trouble, and saying all kinds of nonsense. He was really not afraid that Jiang Dao would expose his news records.
Judging from the times of these WeChat messages, Jingyu obviously did not sleep all night. At around 4 a.m., he sent a message with nearly half a screen of exclamation marks, followed by a series of exclamations:
"What the hell is going on today!"
"Have you seen the new trending search? Director Li Cheng took advantage of his position and slept with several young artists under the pretext of auditions! [Scared][Scared]"
"It's so scary. He even recorded a video and threatened the artist not to make it public..."
Jingyu withdrew a message.
Jingyu withdrew a message.
"Sorry!!! I didn't sleep and my brain is messed up. You shouldn't be in the mood to read these now [cry loudly] Some of them can't be withdrawn [cry loudly][cry loudly]"
"But your trending search has dropped, that's a good thing!"
After staring at the message for a while, Jiang Dao couldn't help but laugh.
Opening Weibo, he found that three of the top ten hot searches were related to Li Cheng, and due to the existence of bad behaviors such as intimidation and threats, it even attracted the attention of official media. Coupled with the fan wars among the artists who were exposed, the two entries about Jiang Dao last night were both outside the top 30.
After casually flipping through it, Jiangdao inadvertently curled the corners of his mouth.
This tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, diverting attention, and secretly moving through Chencang was played very well, and by the way, it seemed that a personal vengeance of not too small was also taken.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yinlong is quite protective of his son.
