When the sun sets.
Sheng Jing felt that his life was about to turn into darkness.
But then...
Sheng Jiarong called.
"How's your brother?" Sheng Jing's voice was urgent. "Have you dealt with Cen Sai'er's mother?"
"Of course." Sheng Jiarong, who had accomplished such a troublesome task, still spoke in a steady voice, neither arrogant nor impatient. "I made three promises to Cen Sai'er's mother in your name, and finally persuaded her to forgive you."
“These three things are a little difficult for you, but you must do them well.”
"Only in this way can you preserve your chances of making a comeback."
Sheng Jing's excitement, which had just soared, plummeted again: "What are the conditions?"
Sheng Jiarong: "First, you formally and publicly apologize to Cen Sai'er, admit your relationship with her, admit that you failed to take good care of Sai'er's feelings when you broke up with her, causing her harm, personally send Sai'er off to her funeral, and privately compensate the Cen family with 10 million yuan."
"Second, you publicly announce your retirement from the entertainment industry and will no longer appear in front of the camera until the audience accepts you again."
"Third, the company will sign Cen Sai'er's sister, give her the best agent and the best resources, and do everything possible to make her famous. At the same time, we guarantee that she will never be forced to drink, laugh, or sleep with others, and we will never force her to take on roles or do anything she doesn't want to do."
"The above three points constitute a written commitment, which I, as the president of Shengshi Group, guarantee and sign and seal."
The above three points were not proposed by the Cen family.
In fact, even after he met with the Cen family, they still refused to negotiate with him.
but--
He "read" the wavering deep within their hearts.
The first two lines are the heartfelt words of Cen Sai'er's mother.
The third one is Cen Sai'er's sister's heartfelt words.
They genuinely wanted to seek "justice" for Cen Sai'er and stand up to Sheng Jing to the end, but the harsh reality reminded them that there was no benefit in confronting Sheng Jing head-on...
Putting aside everything else.
To give you an example, Cen Sai'er owes her agency 3.6 million yuan, and the IOU has her and her mother's signatures on it.
Unless the brokerage firm waives the debt, Cen's mother will still have to repay the money.
But where would the Cen family get the money?
In addition, Cen Sai'er's younger sister is a trainee who just turned 18 and needs to debut and get opportunities...
All of this is forcing the Cen family to face reality.
"Are you kidding me!" Sheng Jing shrieked. "Forget about the other two."
"But how could I possibly agree to retire from the entertainment industry?"
"I'm determined to become a superstar in my lifetime, the most famous of all!"
"I'm a top star now, I just won the Best Actor award, and I'm still tied to..."
He wanted to say, "It's also tied to a superstar creation system."
But when it came to the point of being spoken...
He quickly swallowed his words, "If I were to retire now, wouldn't all my efforts have been in vain?"
“The current public opinion is very unfavorable to you. The more you explain, the more counterproductive it will be,” Sheng Jiarong said calmly. “Your work has not been taken down yet, which means that the authorities are still watching.”
"As long as Cen Sai'er's mother forgives you and is willing to cooperate with you to clear your name, you still have a glimmer of hope."
"I suggest you retire from the entertainment industry first, focus on improving your acting skills, and do more charity work."
"Wait until the public has forgotten about this before you come out."
"If you don't agree now, you'll have no chance at all."
"You choose for yourself."
Shengjing fell silent.
Actually, he didn't remain silent for long, only a few dozen seconds.
After all, he had no other choice.
“I can agree to these three conditions,” Sheng Jing said weakly, “but how will Cen Sai’er’s mother help me?”
Sheng Jiarong: "First, she will say that there is nothing wrong with her phone and that the original recording has not been damaged."
"Second, she agreed to let us change the word 'sell' in the recording to 'sell cars,' but the paparazzi who uploaded the recording deliberately removed the word 'car' out of a desire to stir up trouble, causing public misunderstanding."
“I’ve already taken care of the paparazzi who uploaded the recording. I gave him some money, and he agreed to take the blame.”
"She also agreed to clarify that you were drunk and confused when you received Cen Sai'er's call, and that you spoke rudely. After you woke up, you immediately contacted the company to find out what happened and expressed your willingness to help Cen Sai'er pay off her debts."
“You were just too busy that day, and the debt repayment wasn’t finished before Sai’er committed suicide.”
“You feel deeply guilty about this.”
"The agency will also cooperate with Cen's mother's statement."
"Third, she will say that she discovered Cen Sai'er's last words."
“In her suicide note, Cen Sai’er said, ‘Two years ago, my beloved left me. Now, two years later, the person I fell in love with again has also left me. I have lost my career and my lover. What is the point of my life?’”
"This way, the reason for Cen Sai'er's suicide can be attributed to her new boyfriend."
“I have found Cen Sai’er’s male online friend, given him a large sum of money, and he agreed to take the blame.”
"Fourth, regarding the fact that Cen Sai'er was dating you before she was 18, you admit it's true."
"But Cen Sai'er's sister will issue a statement saying that Cen Sai'er told her that you are a gentleman, that you cherished her very much during your relationship, and that you did not have a relationship with her."
"The mother and daughter also said that Cen Sai'er has always been self-disciplined, otherwise she would not have fled the scene in a hurry because she was forced to accompany someone to drink, resulting in drunk driving, and even going so far as to go bankrupt to terminate her contract with her original agency."
"In this way, the public can understand your relationship with a girl under the age of 18."
Sheng Jing was stunned.
Such impressive PR tactics and whitewashing techniques...
Absolutely impeccable.
Sheng Jiagui, standing to the side, held a bottle of whiskey, taking sips here and there, a cold smile hidden in his eyes.
