199: Blood and Tears Accusation
Xu Yao was not wrong. Fu Hong really wanted to use Jason's psychological problems to cancel the contract.
However, Fu Hong did not confront Jiang Zhiyan. She went directly to Huahu's competing platform. In just half a day, Fu Hong's accusation video had spread all over the Internet.
Jiang Zhiyan was already a highly publicized figure. Fu Hong accused him of deliberately skipping his agent and deceiving Jason, who had no ability to recognize, into signing the contract. For a time, public opinion was in an uproar.
"There's no specific quote, no advance payment. Have you ever seen a contract like this?"
"'Black Sea' is Jason's masterpiece. As early as the first exhibition, a buyer wanted to spend a million dollars to buy it. I don't know what kind of tricks Mr. Jiang used to convince Jason to give him 'Black Sea'!"
"Mr. Jiang said the custom painting was a gift for his fiancée. I saw how grand his proposal was, even a pigeon egg diamond ring would be worth millions, yet now buying a painting requires deception! I don't know if Huahu's operations are in trouble, or if it's Mr. Jiang's personal character. Why would a wealthy boss take advantage of a young painter just starting out?"
"I'm Jason's agent and also Jason's mother. Jason was diagnosed with mental illness at a very young age. His world is only about painting, and he can't tell who is good and who is bad."
"I can provide all of Jason's medical records if needed!"
As long as the name "Jiang Zhiyan" is attached, the speed at which the video spreads will be astonishing.
What's more, Fu Hong's accusation video was first released on a platform other than Huahu. The heads of the two platforms were already unhappy with Jiang Zhiyan's hype of love affairs to attract traffic. Now that Jiang Zhiyan's scandal has been exposed, the two platforms are secretly diverting traffic to Fu Hong's accusation video.
This video went viral from other platforms all the way to the Huahu platform, and the matter became a big deal.
Before this, Jason was unknown in China. His name was only circulated among guests who attended brand events, and was not yet known to the general public. When Fu Hong's complaint video was released, some of the key words in it really caught people's attention.
A 25-year-old talented painter, his European exhibition toured and his masterpieces were worth millions of dollars.
If these keywords were uttered by an unrelated person, it would be nothing but bragging. But when it came to Jiang Zhiyan, netizens were excited: Rich people are not fools, especially those like Jiang Zhiyan who come from a wealthy family. They must have seen a lot of good things. If Jiang Zhiyan can appreciate a painting, it must be good. This young painter named Jason is really talented!
Such a talented young painter turned out to be a mentally ill patient with no ability to act… Autism? Depression? Or what's commonly known as mental illness?!
No matter which one it is, it's a pity.
There is only a fine line between genius and madness. Netizens have already begun to sympathize with Jason's illness before they have even seen his paintings.
If what Fu Hong said is true, then isn't Mr. Jiang too unkind?
He is so rich, yet he still takes advantage of a patient. Isn't this the legendary being rich and unkind?
Also, Jiang Zhiyan asked Jason to custom-make a painting for his fiancée. Was it Tangtang or someone else? If it was Tangtang, when did the two reconcile? Tangtang announced she was taking a break from work to nurse her baby. Could she be preparing to marry into a wealthy family? Lovers finally getting married should be a blessing, but Tangtang, having reaped the benefits of "female independence" by rejecting Jiang Zhiyan's proposal, then secretly accepted it. Isn't that a double-cross?
The netizens who just want to watch the show don’t care, but Tangtang’s fans will be very sad. Walking fans is not like walking dogs. Dogs will be very happy when they are walked, but fans will be very angry when they are walked!
…
Jiang Zhiyan has not responded to this matter yet, and "Shengshi" reacted the fastest.
Chen Yan immediately asked Tangtang what was going on: "You and CEO Jiang have reconciled? This is a good thing. Why did you hide it from the company?"
Chen Yan was already calculating in his mind the pros and cons of Tangtang agreeing to Jiang Zhiyan's proposal.
If Tangtang doesn't stop working, then of course it will be beneficial to "Shengshi" if she doesn't accept Jiang Zhiyan's proposal, and Tangtang herself can make a lot of money for "Shengshi"; Tangtang will have to stop working for several months now, which will have a great impact on "Shengshi"'s income. Accepting Jiang Zhiyan's proposal can bring resources to "Shengshi", which is also a good thing!
On the other end of the phone, Tangtang was a little absent-minded: "How can we reconcile after we broke up? I don't know who Jiang Zhiyan's new fiancée is, but it's not me. I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I have something urgent to do here. I'll tell you in detail when I'm done."
Beep beep beep.
Tangtang hung up Chen Yan’s call.
Chen Yan's expression turned ashen.
—Just an internet celebrity. If she wasn't related to Jiang Zhiyan, what would she be? She really thinks she's a real dish!
Tangtang was unaware of Chen Yan's anger. She was talking to Xu Yao when she was interrupted by Chen Yan's phone call, and she was anxious to hear what was going on.
"Yaoyao, where were you just now? Oh, yes, yes, you said Jason is actually Gu Jun's younger brother, and that Ms. Fu is Gu Jun's mother?!"
Tangtang recalled the time when she attended a brand event, and Xu Yao also said that she had seen Jason's art exhibition.
At that time, Xu Yao was asking about Jason at the event. Tangtang thought Xu Yao really liked Jason's paintings, but she didn't expect that there were so many things hidden in it!
"Yes. Jason is Gu Jun's younger brother, and Fu Hong is Gu Jun's biological mother. Actually, this incident has nothing to do with President Jiang. He was looking for Jason to buy the painting because he wanted to help Gu Jun. Throughout the negotiation process, President Jiang didn't try to deceive him at all. He even urged Jason several times to think carefully before making an offer. We guessed that Fu Hong would use Jason's mental illness as an excuse to invalidate the contract, but we didn't expect Fu Hong to directly expose the matter on the platform. This has caused President Jiang to be scolded by netizens, and even you have been implicated!"
Xu Yao looked ashamed.
Tangtang didn't care at all: "It's not your fault. To be honest, I actually think highly of Jiang Zhiyan for spending so much energy to help your Gu Jun. I just didn't expect Gu Jun's life story to be so pitiful. No, I should say that your husband and I are both unlucky people with the same fate!"
Tangtang accepted Xu Yao's negative comments about Fu Hong without any question.
Because Tangtang's own mother is not that good either, she can empathize with Gu Jun's experience.
"What are you going to do now? Let Jiang Zhiyan come out and clarify. Netizens may not believe him. It doesn't matter if he gets scolded a few times. I'm afraid those gossipy netizens will dig up you and Gu Jun and scold you. I think we should start with Jason. As long as we can prove that he has the ability to sign the contract independently, Fu Hong's accusations will be ridiculous... By the way, do you know where Jason is now? Will Fu Hong hide him and not let you contact him?"
Tangtang, in turn, was worried about Xu Yao.
No one knows the power of public opinion better than Tangtang.
Traffic is a double-edged sword. It can make Xu Yao make a lot of money, but it can also turn Xu Yao into a rat crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats.
If this matter is not handled properly, it will be really troublesome.
Xu Yao lowered her voice. "Jason is with Gu Jun now. As soon as Fu Hong's accusation video came out, Gu Jun took Jason away from the hotel. Fu Hong should be looking for Jason all over the world now."
