Hearing Qin Yuanyao say almost earnestly, "I just want you to stop using me for publicity stunts. I hate it. Can't we just be honest and straightforward..."
With the bombardment of the two recordings, netizens are now more on Qin Yuanyao's side.
Compared to Yu Xin's lengthy, essay-like complaints, isn't Qin Yuanyao's recording more conclusive? Doesn't it better reveal Yu Xin's true colors and Qin Yuanyao's attitude?
[Was this recording made when Qin Yuanyao and Xing Yu were having an affair? That would be about two weeks ago. Qin Yuanyao is right, she did communicate with them.]
[Oh my god, as a fan of Yu Xin, I'm disgusted! Yu Xin actually had the nerve to say she didn't do that, and that Qin Yuanyao got all the attention she deserved, even complaining that our Yu-ge spoke up! Ugh!]
Qin Yuanyao spoke so sincerely, yet Yu Xin showed no remorse whatsoever, instead believing she did the absolute right thing. I'm really wondering how Yu Xin even obtained her agent's license.
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Yu Xin's current actions are all about the 'black-and-red' strategy. If a celebrity likes the 'black-and-red' approach, they might be able to work smoothly with Yu Xin, but Qin Yuanyao doesn't like this style, so it's understandable that she wants to terminate her contract with her agency."
I feel there must be quite a few agents like Yu Xin. In the entertainment industry, making money is more important than anything else. But Qin Yuanyao wants to be a good actress more than making money.
Qin Yuanyao is quite clear-headed and has very clear goals; I quite like that kind of person.
It seems I really misunderstood Qin Yuanyao before. It's all Yueyao's fault, that lousy company! They insisted on taking Qin Yuanyao down the path of being both famous and infamous, when she could have easily succeeded on other paths given her character.
Although many netizens sided with Qin Yuanyao, there were still quite a few who questioned her.
[Is that all? She's going to terminate her contract with Yueyao? Qin Yuanyao could easily ask Yueyao to change her manager! She's at least gained some popularity and fame now; Yueyao wouldn't risk offending his cash cow by not changing her manager, would he?]
I feel Qin Yuanyao has become arrogant after gaining fame and wants to abandon her former employer to join a better entertainment company. That's why she's using her disagreement with the company's "black-and-red" strategy to wage a media war. She even said she wants to terminate her contract unconditionally. What does "unconditional termination" mean? It just means she doesn't want to pay the penalty for breach of contract. Isn't her plan shrewd enough?
Just when Qin Yuanyao was barely winning the online battle, Mu Hai told Chi Baiyi what was happening online.
Previously, when he was doing a live stream on Xiaojia, Chi Baiyi told him to keep an eye on the trending topics online, and to take down any trending topics about Qin Yuanyao that involved Chi Baiyi or Chi Naozi.
Therefore, during the entire first episode of the live broadcast, neither Chi Baiyi nor Chi Naoqi trended on social media.
Although Qin Yuanyao is currently engaged in a public opinion war online with her agent Yu Xin and her agency Yueyao Entertainment, Chi Baiyi and Chi Nao haven't been mentioned in the trending searches. However, Chi Nao was mentioned in several Weibo posts that Qin Yuanyao's agent Yu Xin liked using her Weibo account.
After thinking it over, Mu Hai decided to tell Chi Baiyi about it and ask her if it needed to be dealt with.
Chi Baiyi's expression turned indifferent after hearing what Mu Hai told him.
“No need to do anything.” Chi Baiyi’s dark eyes deepened slightly. “Go and investigate again. Are all those negative stories about Qin Yuanyao that you gave me last time related to her agent, Yu Xin?”
"Yes, Mr. Chi." Mu Hai accepted the order and left.
At six o'clock in the evening, when Chi Baiyi was preparing to leave work on time to go home and have dinner with Chi Naoqi, Mu Hai had already reported the results of his investigation.
"President Chi, it's true that Yu Xin orchestrated all those scandals involving Qin Yuanyao."
Chi Baiyi leaned back in his leather office chair, gesturing for Mu Hai to continue.
"For example, there are rumors about Qin Yuanyao bullying extras on set. According to the extras, Yu Xin came to talk to them and said that Qin Yuanyao thought the extras' expressions were too exaggerated and that it affected her performance. So, the rumor that Qin Yuanyao bullied extras started."
"Furthermore, the rumors about Qin Yuanyao being kept by a sugar daddy were also spread by Yu Xin. Every time Yu Xin reprimanded others in Qin Yuanyao's name, she would say that Qin Yuanyao was someone they couldn't afford to offend, and that Qin Yuanyao had powerful backers. This feint made some people really believe that Qin Yuanyao was being kept by a sugar daddy, and thus they cooperated with Qin Yuanyao."
"Qin Yuanyao obtained the corresponding resources, which led some people to believe that she really had a sugar daddy behind her. But who Qin Yuanyao's sugar daddy is, no one knows to this day..."
The more Mu Hai spoke, the more gloomy Chi Baiyi's face became.
Based on Mu Hai's understanding of Chi Baiyi, he knew that Chi Baiyi was probably dissatisfied with why he hadn't investigated so thoroughly beforehand.
Mu Hai knew he hadn't handled things well last time, so he obediently lowered his eyes and waited to be scolded.
In an attempt to make amends, he even provided Chi Baiyi with proof of payment he had found showing Yueyao Entertainment making payments to a social media company to buy trending topics.
Chi Baiyi glanced at what Mu Hai handed her, without even lifting her eyelids.
"What did you investigate last time?" Chi Baiyi's voice was icy, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"As my special assistant, you investigated someone so perfunctorily, requiring two investigations to find out the truth. You're not even as reliable as cheese. Are you here to work or to cause trouble?"
Mu Hai lowered his head even further. "It was my fault. My investigation last time was too superficial. I didn't verify it from multiple sources."
"You're not getting your bonus this year. You should reflect on your actions." Chi Baiyi took the things Mu Hai had placed on the table, got up, and left.
Mu Hai remained standing there, repenting, "Okay, President Chi."
But he gradually realized that something was wrong.
Although he did not handle the investigation of Qin Yuanyao's matter thoroughly and meticulously, when did President Chi become so concerned about people in the entertainment industry that he needed to verify whether the rumors about them were true or false?
Is President Chi being a little too attentive to Qin Yuanyao?
...
On his way home, Chi Baiyi read through all the online controversies surrounding Qin Yuanyao.
It seems Qin Yuanyao has begun to take action.
Chi Baiyi stared at the payment receipt for Yueyao Entertainment's purchase of trending searches in his hand, thinking that the evidence Qin Yuanyao released was mostly recordings. This payment receipt was relatively difficult to obtain; he wondered if she had it, and it could probably serve as evidence.
Back home, Chi Baiyi took several photos of the payment receipt for buying the trending search and sent them to Chi Naoqi.
"Cheese, forward what I sent you to Qin Yuanyao," Chi Baiyi said.
"What is this?!" Chi Nao clicked on her children's post, zoomed in on the picture for a while, but still couldn't understand it.
