Chapter 5: Epic Negative Example
24 hours after the drugging and forced murder incident, the person involved, Jiang Yanyu, finally spoke out. The delay in speaking out and the arrogance in the way he spoke out can be regarded as an epic negative example of crisis public relations in the circle.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yanyu posted his first Weibo:
[Jiang Yanyu: @Jiang Gege, have you been to jail today? Come out and apologize to my boyfriend]
Below is a screenshot of the user insulting Luo Qinglin:
[Did Jiang Gege go to jail today: So disgusting, this Luo Qinglin is unclean, a dirty thing that has been fucked by a man, go to hell soon. 】
A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Once this Weibo post was published, it was immediately retweeted thousands of times. The original [Jiang Yanyu drugged the straight man] was directly replaced by the new entry [Jiang Yanyu’s boyfriend].
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yanyu posted a second Weibo post, this time it was no longer a picture or text, but a two-minute video.
When the video was opened, Jiang Yanyu was sitting on a chair in the hospital with his arms folded and his legs crossed, looking down at everyone.
"Attention to the marketing accounts and netizens who mentioned my boyfriend. I'll give you two minutes to delete all the Weibo posts that spread rumors and insults about Luo Qinglin."
"In two minutes, my team will start taking screenshots, preserving evidence, reporting to the police and suing, and will send you to jail at all costs."
"As for the Weibo posts that insult me, you can delete them if you want. It's fine if you don't want to delete them. After all, the traffic you sent me today is enough for me to earn more money than you can ever earn in your lifetime. I hope you will insult me more in the future."
At the end of the video, Jiang Yanyu raised his hand to check his watch, put his face close to the camera and said with a smile: "Three, two, one, time's up. Everyone, remember to be careful with your words in the future, and think twice before you act. Bye~"
Jiang Yanyu's smile was so weird that everyone who watched the video felt like a fox spirit that was about to jump out of the screen and bite the audience to death.
Subsequently, Yanyu Studio released the medical records and statement from Qianyu Island First People's Hospital, stating that Luo Qinglin and Jiang Yanyu were in a relationship and that Luo Qinglin was hospitalized due to food allergies. We hope that media friends will not believe or spread rumors.
At 9:10 in the evening, most of the marketing accounts that spread rumors deleted their posts without a word, and some even posted several blessings for Mr. Jiang and Mr. Luo, which flooded the square with messages. The scene was extremely funny for a while.
The onlookers were all confused when they saw the marketing account’s style change drastically.
[The world has changed when you wake up? 】
[Did the marketing accounts collectively receive money?] ? ? 】
[I know a guy who pursued Lorraine. People said that Lorraine had no interest in men at all (who is Lorraine? Those who know will know). 】
[I am 1. If Luo Lin is gay, I will go to the First Ring Road and shout "I am 0" for three days and three nights. 】
[The one above, you're the best! (I am 20 years old and 1.8 meters tall)]
[Luolin must have been manipulated by Jiang Yanyu's PR. It's good to be rich. You can turn black into white. 】
Half an hour later, a few marketing accounts still held their ground, refusing to change their words, and provocatively released some personal information about Luo Qinglin:
[Luo Qinglin graduated with a bachelor's degree in communication from Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology, and obtained a master's degree in journalism and communication from Renmin University of Beijing. He now works as a graphic photographer in a small studio. Is this a waste of resources and training from prestigious schools? What do you think. 】
Seeing the slight change in the wind direction, the depressed fans were also encouraged and came out one after another to control the comments among passers-by.
[I look at your father!] What kind of job they have is none of your business. Even if they graduated from Peking University or Tsinghua University, and go home to raise pigs or farm, it has nothing to do with you! 】
[Oh shit!] It turns out that Luo Lin has a high level of education. 】
[My brother has a bachelor's and master's degree from Imperial College, and my sister-in-law has a bachelor's and master's degree from both first-class universities. They have no talent but only good looks, a perfect match. It is not your turn to object, monsters like you. 】
[Screenshot taken, the comment has been forwarded over 500 times, just wait for your brother to come and feed you jail food! 】
[Bold!] How dare you call Luo Lin by her real name? The one who was @ by Jiang Yanyu has already been criticized at the police station. You’d better wish me good luck. 】
......
After this battle, Jiang Yanyu's reputation in the country was completely established.
No matter if they are gay or straight, male or female, or from the entertainment and fashion circles, everyone knows Jiang Yanyu. Whenever they mention her, they will joke, "Jiang Yanyu, she is the one who loves straight men so much."
The public opinion is mixed. A small number of people (fans) directly call Jiang Yanyu affectionate and a very manly man, while most people (the spectators) think that Luo Qinglin was bribed by money and that Jiang Yanyu forced the straight man.
At this point, there is one more disastrous case in the history of public relations in the circle.
-
The next morning, Qianyu Island First People's Hospital.
The rain that just fell in the early morning extinguished the heat on the island, the temperature dropped sharply, and the sticky air became fresh and pleasant after one night.
"You guys...does this series of operations really have a PR team behind the scenes directing them?" Luo Qinglin asked with a bitter face as he looked through the comments on his phone.
Last night, Luo Qinglin's cell phone was confiscated by Jiang Yanyu, and he was ordered to read less aggressive comments. Without his cell phone, Luo Qinglin had no choice but to close his eyes and fall asleep unwillingly.
As soon as he got up this morning, Luo Qinglin successfully took back the phone when Jiang Yanyu was not paying attention. After getting the phone, he opened Weibo with great interest.
When the page opened, Luo Qinglin did not see the expected reversal of public opinion and the apology from the rumormonger. Instead, he saw Jiang Yanyu's two extremely arrogant Weibo posts and a screen full of "Luo Lin is a straight man". He felt dizzy and almost fainted.
"Don't worry, Mr. Luo. Everything is under control between me and Brother Jiang."
Chen Qixin walked in, brought a plate of freshly-baked Fuding pork slices and chicken breast salad to the table, set out his personal tableware, and stood aside, waiting respectfully for others to eat.
Although he was just an assistant, the way Chen Qixin and Jiang Yanyu got along was so much like master and servant that Luo Qinglin had the illusion that he was living in the old century.
"Assistant Chen, don't you want to sit down and rest for a while?" Luo Qinglin asked in surprise.
Jiang Yanyu forked a piece of low-salt, low-fat chicken breast and put it into his mouth, and replied: "I advise people who have mortgages to pay less attention to the work and life of people who earn tens of millions a year."
Chen Qixin pushed his glasses up on his nose and nodded in agreement.
"You just terminated your contract and returned to China. Can't the company only afford to hire two people? Where do you get so much money to pay me and Assistant Xiao Chen?" Luo Qinglin asked the question that had been in his heart all night.
"Who said I can only afford two people? It's Yanyu Studio that only needs me and him."
Jiang Yanyu frowned, threw away the tasteless chicken breast and said, "Other companies rely on Assistant Chen to monitor and report the situation all the time, so of course I have to give him a high salary. Otherwise, when he changes jobs, I will have to find someone else to take charge, which is troublesome."
It turns out there are other companies... Well, he was still worried about the funding issue of Yanyu Studio last night, but it turned out that he was the clown himself.
When Chen Qixin heard Jiang Yanyu mention "job hopping", he hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said, "Brother Jiang, I am loyal to you and will never change jobs."
"You won't change jobs even if I go bankrupt?" Jiang Yanyu asked jokingly.
“With Uncle Jiang here, you won’t go bankrupt.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yanyu's face instantly turned cold. He swung his hand hard, and the fork between his fingers was thrown hard to the ground.
The force was so great that the sound of the stainless steel colliding with the floor tiles was extremely loud. The sound frightened Luo Qinglin so much that the broth that he was about to put into his mouth fell onto the table.
"Get out." Jiang Yanyu said coldly.
Chen Qixin picked up the fork on the ground, took a new set of clean tableware and placed it on the table, said "I'm sorry, Brother Jiang" and quickly walked out of the ward.
The Fuding meat slices in front of him were still steaming. Half a minute ago, Jiang Yanyu was in a good mood and joking with his friends, but now he was silent and a low pressure was all over his body.
Luo Qinglin held his breath and carefully wiped the broth on the table. He secretly observed Jiang Yanyu with his peripheral vision. He saw Jiang Yanyu frowning and tapping the table quickly with his fingertips. The tapping became faster and louder, and he looked very irritable.
Before Jiang Yanyu noticed his gaze, Luo Qinglin quickly lowered his head and pretended nothing had happened and ate the meat slices seriously, but in fact he was thinking furiously in his mind.
Chen Qixin calls Jiang Yanyu "Brother Jiang", so Uncle Jiang is...Jiang Yanyu's father?
Jiang Yanyu got furious when he heard the words "Uncle Jiang". It seemed that the relationship between father and son was so bad that it was not even worth mentioning.
What does the sentence "You won't go bankrupt as long as Uncle Jiang is with you" mean? Could it be that Jiang Yanyu really returned to China to inherit a family fortune worth tens of billions?
Not likely. If Jiang Yanyu's family was really that rich, then why did he live in a small town in the south and attend the same public high school as me?
Although Lincheng No. 1 Middle School is one of the best in the province, most of its students are from middle-class families who study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination, and there are almost no students from wealthy families.
Could it be that... Jiang Yanyu is an illegitimate child of a wealthy family who was stranded away?
"what's on your mind?"
"Cough cough cough!" Luo Qinglin's thoughts were interrupted by Jiang Yanyu's question. The piece of meat he had just swallowed got stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down, choking him and making him cough loudly.
Jiang Yanyu raised his chin slightly, closed his eyes and asked, "Are you wondering...why my relationship with my dad is so bad?"
"No," Luo Qinglin pretended to be calm, "I was thinking that today is my first day on the job, what kind of work do you think I should do?"
"What kind of work..." Jiang Yanyu thought for a moment, pointed at the tableware on the table and said, "Feed me."
Luo Qinglin: "......"
Jiang Yanyu supported his face with one hand and said, "You are not willing to do such a small thing for the boss?"
"I'm willing. The boss's business is my business." Luo Qinglin sighed and picked up the fork with the attitude of a worker completing his job, but when he saw the small cherry tomatoes in the bowl, his eyes lit up and his movements hesitated slightly.
If he deliberately tilted his hand while feeding her, the red juice of the cherry tomatoes would stain Jiang Yanyu's lips, flow down her lips to her chin, and then drip...
Luo Qinglin stole a glance at Jiang Yanyu and without hesitation forked the juicy, rosy-colored cherry tomato in the bowl.
With a gentle push of the fork, the light red juice will flow out and flow along the fork into the bowl.
In order to make Jiang Yanyu open his mouth obediently, Luo Qinglin slightly opened his lips, half-raised his head and leaned close to Jiang Yanyu, and said like coaxing a child: "Ah——"
In Jiang Yanyu's eyes, Luo Qinglin was looking up at her with his mouth open, his white teeth and red tongue half hidden and half visible, looking seductive.
The most annoying thing was that the little mole under Luo Qinglin's eye was trembling slightly with the vibration of his vocal cords, shaking, which made Jiang Yanyu upset and made people unconsciously want to rub it hard with their fingers and press it hard until it turned red.
Tsk! Jiang Yanyu cursed inwardly, grabbed the thin wrist in front of him, pulled Luo Qinglin's face in front of him, and reached out to press the trembling little mole.
"Mr. Luo, have you ever fed others like this before?" Jiang Yanyu said while biting the cherry tomato on his lower lip.
"No." Luo Qinglin leaned his upper body back slightly, afraid that Jiang Yanyu would hear the frantic heartbeat in his chest.
"You've never fed your girlfriend like this before?"
"I have never been in love. I am not as experienced as Mr. Jiang." When it comes to the word "girlfriend", Luo Qinglin recalled Jiang Yanyu's first love and felt a little jealous.
"Really?" Jiang Yanyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Luo has never been in a relationship, so how can you be 100% sure whether you are straight or gay?"
"I......"
Thump thump thump!
The WeChat video ringtone suddenly rang. Jiang Yanyu let out a light click of the tongue, let go of Luo Qinglin's wrist, and answered the video impatiently.
As soon as the video was connected, a fierce female voice came from the speaker.
"Jiang Yanyu! You had to post such an arrogant video to threaten the public when you came out. Do you really think you are the emperor and everyone should revolve around you? If the old man knew..."
"I don't care what the old man thinks," Jiang Yanyu interrupted, "I'm not a member of the Jiang family. I don't need to follow the useless etiquette of the Jiang family."
"You little brat!"
"If you have something to say, please say it quickly. Otherwise, I'm hanging up." Jiang Yanyu stretched out his hand and was about to hang up the video.
"Wait, where's your boyfriend? Call him over here and show him to me."
Could it be that the person in the video is Jiang Yanyu’s mother? Luo Qinglin quickly threw away the fork and quickly used his hands to smooth down his messy hair that had not been taken care of since he got up in the morning.
Before he could tidy up his appearance, Luo Qinglin's waist was held and a pulling force came over him. He stood up from his seat and sat on Jiang Yanyu's chair.
The small chair seemed unable to bear the weight of two adult men. As soon as Luo Qinglin sat on it, the legs of the chair creaked and seemed about to break.
There was a faint mint scent at the tip of her nose, a sturdy arm was around her neck, and Jiang Yanyu whispered over her shoulder: "Behave well, okay?"
Warm breath hit his ears, Luo Qinglin shrank his neck slightly and nodded nervously.
Jiang Yanyu chuckled, raised the hanging mobile phone in front of him, and pointed it at Luo Qinglin's face.
The woman on the screen was not as old as imagined. Instead, she looked very young, about twenty years old, with willow-shaped eyebrows, bright eyes, a small nose, and a small brown beauty mole at the corner of her mouth.
Wait, beauty mark?
Luo Qinglin looked closely and observed for a few seconds, then tilted his head back in shock, and the back of his head hit Jiang Yanyu's nose heavily.
Isn’t this person on the screen Jiang Yanyu’s first love, the beautiful lady? !
The author has something to say:
Jiang Yanyu: Thank you for the invitation. I have been single for 25 years and have never been in a relationship.
