Hearing my words and feeling my confidence, Chen Hanxing's melancholy and lifeless eyes finally regained a glimmer of light.
"Just wait patiently, and don't do anything foolish," I told her again.
"Sister Qiao, I was driven to desperation last night. For my mother's sake, I have to live..." Shen Hanxing said, then lowered her eyes again.
Her mother is still hospitalized with kidney disease and needs dialysis regularly. She is a single mother, and the two of them depend on each other for survival.
Shen Hanxing borrowed 30,000 yuan from a wealthy male classmate to pay for her mother's medical treatment, but the rumors spread that she had sold herself into prostitution.
I believe that Shen Hanxing wouldn't do anything foolish again for her mother's sake, so I left the villa she was renting with peace of mind.
The production manager called me and said that Mr. Mo threatened to withdraw his investment and refuse to invest in a film with morally corrupt artists. The film was only halfway through shooting, and now that he has offended the investors, all his efforts have been wasted.
The incident stemmed from my artist, and I must compensate the production team for their losses.
"Manager Sheng, why don't you take Shen Hanxing to apologize to President Mo? He just wants Shen Hanxing to back down!" the producer advised me at the end.
What do you mean by "give in"? You just want me to give Shen Hanxing to him for his sexual favors.
"Let him die, Producer Chen. Don't worry, I guarantee this film will wrap up smoothly." Without waiting for a reply, I quickly hung up.
Online, the nouveau riche Mr. Mo is actually doing a live stream, talking to netizens about his withdrawal of investment and his efforts to seek justice.
The number of viewers in the live stream exceeded 100,000.
"I want these actresses to know that not just anyone can act. An artist must first and foremost have moral character. What right does a promiscuous girl who sold herself in high school and takes birth control pills have to be a star? Everyone, am I right?"
In the live chat, uninformed netizens expressed their support.
These days, there aren't many capitalists with sound values anymore. Mr. Mo is really something.
Mr. Mo is not a capitalist; he is an entrepreneur with a strong sense of social responsibility.
Boycott substandard goods and Shen Hanxing.
"As far as I know, this Shen Hanxing has a sugar daddy behind her. Otherwise, with such a dark past, how could she act?"
This Mr. Mo actually made outrageous remarks, openly spreading rumors about Shen Hanxing, saying that she has a sugar daddy supporting her.
The thief cries "Stop thief!"
"Brother Hua, do you want some more data?" I made a call to Brother Hua from the **Network Platform Operations Department in the car.
"I've sent you the video."
"President Qiao, this video of yours... I, I dare not release it, Mr. Mo is an investor in our company!" Hua Ge on the other end gasped, looking troubled.
"Investors? After this video was released, aren't you in a hurry to distance yourself from him? Fine, I'll find another platform so you won't have to make things difficult for me, Brother Hua."
"Thank you, Ms. Qiao, for thinking of me so quickly. Don't worry, I'll act accordingly and take care of you," Hua said politely to me.
I hung up the phone and immediately used my other platform, my big account with millions of followers, to post the complete video of what happened in the restaurant's private room last night, and contacted various gossip and marketing accounts to repost it.
In the video, Mo forcibly pulled Shen Hanxing into his lap, forced her to drink alcohol, and groped her chest. Shen Hanxing grabbed a bottle from the table and smashed it over his head.
Enraged, President Mo grabbed Shen Hanxing by the hair and dragged her toward the private room.
Shen Hanxing cried out incessantly, her voice filled with despair.
Mr. Mo kept saying that he wanted to rape her!
When they arrived at the rest room, Mr. Mo unbuckled his belt, leaving Shen Hanxing with no choice but to threaten suicide.
The final image freezes on the girl clutching the broken bottle neck, pressing it against her chin, her face filled with despair and helplessness…
[Oh my god, is that girl Shen Hanxing? This is so tragic!]
[Mr. Mo was actually a thief crying "stop thief!", what a beast!]
He's still livestreaming, go and curse him out, he's disgusting.
Netizens were shocked after watching the video I posted that showed the plot twist, while Mr. Mo, who was unaware of the truth, was slandering Shen Hanxing in his live stream.
[You beast, how dare you cry wolf!]
[Scumbag! Rapist! Pah!]
"What are the netizens in the live chat saying?" Mr. Mo took a sip of tea and asked the camera with a hint of annoyance.
Just then, the person next to him handed him a cell phone.
His face, covered in bulging muscles, gradually froze, then he slammed his fist on the table. "Who the hell filmed me? Who posted the video?! Damn it!"
He only realized after he finished yelling that the live stream was still running, and he hurriedly turned it off, both annoyed and embarrassed.
The screen displays: This live stream has ended.
While netizens were all sympathizing with Shen Hanxing, I immediately issued a public relations statement through the company account, stating that the company would help Shen Hanxing seek justice and that it reserved the right to pursue legal action against those who spread rumors and slander.
Then, a video titled "The Truth About Shen Hanxing's Dark History" shocked the entire internet.
In the video, the girl is wearing a middle school uniform, with a bare face but an absolutely beautiful one, facing the camera.
She held a handwritten IOU in her hand, dated four years ago.
"Today, I, Chen Hanxing, borrowed 30,000 yuan from classmate XX to pay for my mother's surgery. This video serves as proof. I will repay all debts owed to classmate XX within three years."
The girl in the video is seventeen-year-old Shen Hanxing. Her eyes are clear and bright, her gaze is firm, and her expression is neither humble nor arrogant.
This is the truth behind her "selling herself to a male classmate for 30,000 yuan in high school".
The video ends with a record of Shen Hanxing reporting to the police that a female classmate had planted birth control pills in her desk drawer to frame and defame her. Although the police criticized and educated the female classmate at that time, rumors about her continued to circulate on campus.
After the stories of being humiliated by Mr. Mo, the truth about borrowing money, and her police record went viral, netizens saw a girl with no background who was falsely accused on campus, and after entering the entertainment industry, she had no backing, silently acted, and was bullied by capitalists, making it difficult for her to move forward.
