Chapter 41
Bai Siyu glanced at Du Wu, pulled him and shook his head, indicating Du Wu to change the place to talk.
Du Wu understood what he meant and immediately took Bai Siyu to another empty meeting room on the same floor.
"There's something wrong with this Xiao Junche. He's responsible for two murders." Bai Siyu went straight to the point.
Du Wu's expression changed immediately.
"Master Bai, are you sure?!"
"Of course I am sure. You should first hold back the director and ask them not to sign the contract. If they sign the contract and the news that Xiao Junche is endorsing the Muman brand gets out, it will definitely have a negative impact on your brand."
Bai Siyu said this and glanced at the time on his phone.
"It's been twenty minutes. I'm going to the office upstairs to wait for the candle."
"I'll swipe your card for you. Only specific employees can go to the 69th floor." Du Wu walked Bai Siyu to the elevator and swiped Bai Siyu's card before leaving. He then knocked on the door of conference room 3811.
"Who is it?" The person inside sounded unhappy.
We were discussing a crucial moment, the contract was about to be signed, and which employee was so tactless as to interrupt.
Du Wu continued knocking.
The director raised his head with a gloomy face, but the moment he saw the face outside the window, he quickly put away his anger.
He stood up, said sorry to Xiao Junche and his agent, trotted to the door, and opened it with a smile.
"Assistant Du, how come you have time to come here? What's the matter?"
"Director Zhao, please come with me first."
"Okay." Director Zhao said, and turned to Xiao Junche and the others and said, "Sorry, please wait a moment."
Director Zhao closed the door when he left, and the two people in the conference room looked unhappy.
The agent said to Xiao Junche: "It seems that you want to lower the price. If this brand didn't have the word 'Mu' in it, I wouldn't have let you post the announcement!"
Xiao Junche frowned.
"Sister Yu, why don't we just agree to the condition? Director Dugar is about to cast for his new play, which is about decadence and extravagance. I'm endorsed by Muman, so it will be easier for me to compete for roles when the time comes."
"Don't worry about it. I know what's going on and I'll definitely let you get the most benefits."
Yu Meng turned on his phone and asked the studio to spread the news to his big fans, saying that Xiao Junche was the new spokesperson for Muman, and he was suspected to have received an invitation from director Dugar to star in a new drama.
Soon, some marketing accounts and big fans began to post on Weibo to create hype.
Accompanied by a picture of Xiao Junche appearing at the entrance of the Mu Group's central office building.
Fans flocked to comment and forward the post, while not forgetting to collect data.
"Walk with Xiao, Xiao Junche is the brand spokesperson for Muman, support Xiao Junche, support Muman. [love][love][love]"
"Walking with Xiao, marketing accounts please don't take advantage of Xiao Junche's popularity, only official announcements are accepted, and no appointments are made."
"The haters are going to be jealous again, but it's a pity that Cheche is too good."
"......"
At this time, Bai Siyu arrived at the 69th floor. He walked to the door of Pastor Chang Cang's office and waited for him obediently.
After waiting for a while, he felt his legs a little sore, so he squatted down, picked up his mobile phone, and searched for information about Xiao Junche on the Internet.
When Mu Changzhu came over, he saw Bai Siyu squatting with his head lowered. The sunlight cast a golden glow on his furry head, and he looked warm, cute and adorable.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Pastor Cang suddenly felt that the facilities in the office corridor were not scientifically configured, and there should be a seat outside.
"Changzhu, you're here!" Bai Siyu looked up and saw Mu Changzhu, and quickly jumped up. However, his legs felt numb from squatting for so long, and he staggered and almost fell.
Seeing that Bai Siyu was about to fall into his arms, Mu Changzhu immediately reached out his hand to catch her, but Bai Siyu flexibly turned around and held onto the wall.
Bai Siyu took a deep breath and said, "You scared me. I almost hit you."
Shepherd Candle: “…”
In fact, he is not that fragile.
Pastor Candle opened the door of the office and said, "Come in and take a rest. Does your leg hurt?"
"No, it's nothing." Bai Siyu limped in, sat on the soft green sofa, and leaned back: "Comfortable!"
Shepherd Candle smiled and said, "Today is still as hard as yesterday. Please wait for me for a while. When I am done, we can go to eat together."
"Oh, no!" Bai Siyu remembered the business and sat up quickly. "I came here today to talk to you about business. Didn't I receive a commission yesterday? I solved it for him today, and then dug out a woman's rotting corpse and an eight or nine-month-old fetus. It was not a normal death or ordinary murder, but a brutal burial alive. It involves a murder case."
Pastor Cang remembered that Bai Siyu had casually mentioned this while having dinner yesterday.
"Could this murderer be related to the Mu Group?" Otherwise, his Ah Yu would not have come to him specifically to talk about this.
"It doesn't count." Bai Siyu said with a straight face, "It has something to do with Xiao Junche. The two corpses, one big and one small, would never have thought that the one who killed them would be the one closest to them, so they are so resentful. Xiao Junche, the big star who has always been a pure boy, is the biological father of the small corpse still nestling in the womb. He is simply a beast in human skin!"
"And he wants to be the spokesperson for a brand under your group and arrogantly asks for 25 million a year. It's simply too much..."
Bai Siyu spoke for too long in one breath, her face turned red, and she quickly took a deep breath.
"That's too much. You can't agree to it!"
"Ayu, you came to me just to tell me this?"
"Yes, if such a hateful person becomes the spokesperson for your brand, wouldn't it ruin your reputation and cause the brand to be in debt?" Bai Siyu slapped the sofa in anger, "You are my friend, I can't just stand by and watch."
A few days ago, people on the Internet often formed groups to curse at others. He had actually experienced the mindless cyberbullying. Although he was a broad-minded person, he still felt very annoyed and angry.
What's more, he is now a nationally famous star. If he doesn't handle the long candles properly, I don't know how badly he will be scolded by those people!
It's scary to think about.
Maybe you will be caught by someone!
At this moment, Mu Changzhu didn't realize how gentle his eyes were after Bai Siyu finished speaking. He looked at Bai Siyu, and the corners of his lips softened with a smile involuntarily. He suddenly wanted to rub Bai Siyu's head, then hug him and tell him that he was really happy.
But in the end, Pastor Cang's thousands of thoughts turned into just one sentence: "I will let Gao Qi deal with it immediately."
Du Wu is more of a personal assistant while Gao Qi is more of a business assistant. Bai Siyu can now tell the difference, but he is not very familiar with Gao Qi.
"I asked Du Wu to stop it, but I don't know what the result would be... Should I have asked Assistant Gao just now?"
"It's okay. Du Wu can still handle this matter." Mu Changzhu looked at Bai Siyu, "Ayu, I'll get you an employee card."
"Ah?" Bai Siyu was stunned.
Mu Changzhu smiled and said, "It's not convenient to ask Du Wu to pick you up every time. You can just swipe your card to come up next time."
Bai Siyu pondered for a moment: "Would this be a bad idea?"
After all, he is not an employee. What if he is suspected of stealing business secrets?
Mu Changzhu's expression was gentle: "It won't be bad."
......
Xiao Junche and agent Yu Meng waited for nearly twenty minutes, but Director Zhao still hadn't returned. Only a young assistant was there, smiling and pouring tea for them.
Both of them were in a bad mood.
Ever since Xiao Junche became popular, no one has dared to neglect them like this.
After waiting for 25 minutes, the agent could no longer bear it and slammed the table to leave. Director Zhao Shanshan was late and apologized quickly.
"Sorry, something urgent happened in the marketing department."
Yu Meng smirked.
"Our Jun Che specially sent a notice to discuss the endorsement, just to show the greatest sincerity, and also want to reach a cooperation as soon as possible to improve efficiency. It seems that Director Zhao does not have enough time and preparation to discuss..."
"Something did happen, agent Yu, please don't say that." Director Zhao smiled, "I definitely want to reach a cooperation as soon as possible, so I brought a printed contract from the beginning. The endorsement fee is high enough and the terms are very loose. It's you who are unwilling to sign it."
"Our demands are very reasonable." Yu Meng was already very angry from waiting, and now he was even more unwilling to give in.
"Then..." Director Zhao sighed with regret, "It seems that our Muman brand and Mr. Xiao are no longer destined to be together. But it doesn't matter. I look forward to working with you next time."
Director Zhao extended a friendly handshake gesture and watched Yu Meng's expression change from arrogance to anger, and finally to laughter in anger.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"It seems that Director Zhao's trip out is not for some urgent matter. Someone must have snatched our Jun Che's endorsement or wanted to lower our Jun Che's price. Sorry, our Jun Che is not the only luxury brand that wants to be the spokesperson! I'm afraid we won't have time to cooperate with you in the future!"
Yu Meng's eyes were blazing with anger. He put on a mask and took Xiao Junche away. Xiao Junche's face was also very gloomy, and a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.
The image of the innocent, pure and bright big boy almost collapsed.
A group of people came in a mighty force and left in a mighty force.
Soon, the entire brand department and even employees from other departments learned that the cooperation with Xiao Junche had not been reached, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
As soon as Yu Meng got into the car downstairs, she was so angry that she pulled off her mask.
"This is simply a joke on us! This Muman is simply too much!!!"
"That's right. It's true that their Muman brand is high-end, but its popularity is not that high. It's not as good as our Junche. We say it's a win-win situation for us to endorse them, but in fact, we think highly of them." The assistant opened the water cup and handed it to Xiao Junche and Yu Meng, "Junche, Sister Meng, calm down. This is definitely their loss..."
There was no way Yu Meng could swallow this humiliation, so he immediately contacted the navy and the fan leader.
If Mu Man dares to play tricks on them, he should be prepared to be scolded!
Soon, those marketing accounts that were originally promoting Xiao Junche as the new spokesperson for Muman changed their statements and began to change their tone and connotation.
The news that the Muman brand maliciously spoofed Xiao Junche spread on the Internet...
Fans also learned from the fan leader at the first moment that Xiao Junche was deliberately deceived and humiliated by the Muman brand.
The crowd couldn't help but get enraged and exploded on the spot.
"This Muman brand is so fucking shabby. They deliberately tricked us Cheche. I even used the Muman tag to increase the data in vain!"
"Fuck him, Mu's Group is the richest man in the country? Is this how they manage their brands? @Mu's Group @Mu's Group, do your employees have such a lack of ethics and basic professional qualities?!"
"Resolutely boycott the Muman brand. How can a brand that can justifiably deceive and humiliate top artists be good? Bullshit luxury. This will turn your bags into garbage bags!"
"I'm so heartbroken. Why does a nice and innocent boy like Cheche have to be bullied? The senior executives of the Mu Group have all died. If it were Cheche, he would always be at the top!"
"......"
Xiao Junche quickly became a hot topic, and the Muman brand did not play blindly and quickly issued an announcement in response.
She said that she had discussed cooperation with Hsiao Chun-che, but it was just a discussion. She never made a 100% promise, nor did she maliciously sneak out. The conditions were not negotiated, so she hoped to cooperate again next time and hoped that the online rumors would stop.
But how can rumors ever stop?!
Fans were even more furious after seeing the announcement, and were venting their anger everywhere. The mid-to-high-end FG brand, which could barely be considered a competitor of Muman, also came out and said that it would invite Xiao Junche to be the spokesperson for FG. It was really lively with everyone talking back and forth.
Mu Man was scolded even more badly.
Even some passers-by who didn't know the truth developed sympathy for Xiao Junche and resentment towards Mu Man after being told rumors by fans.
Seeing the Muman brand being smeared and even FG dared to take advantage of the opportunity to step on it, Director Zhao was so angry that he grabbed his hair.
He really wanted to find the upper management and ask them why they had to get involved in the endorsement matter. What do the upper management know? They have no idea how terrible the current fan economy and public debate are!
No, they must find a celebrity who is more popular than Xiao Junche... or at least as popular as Xiao Junche to endorse the product in order to save its reputation. But if they do that, the endorsement fee will definitely be higher than 25 million, after all, he is a savior! The budget is not enough!!!
Director Zhao is about to go berserk.
Bai Siyu looked at the public opinion that was quickly fermenting on the Internet. He saw that they were all cursing Mu Man and the Mu Group. Some people even mentioned that they heard that the son of the former chairman of the Mu Group was a sickly person who was not afraid of dying immediately after getting the retribution. Bai Siyu was so angry that he couldn't calm down.
Bai Siyu wanted to scold him when he logged into the account, but suddenly a slender, white and strong hand appeared on the screen.
"Long candle?"
Seeing Bai Siyu's eyes turn red with anger, Mu Changzhu smiled and rubbed Bai Siyu's head: "There's nothing to be angry about. I have you here, how could I possibly die?"
Bai Siyu was still in her emotional state and for a moment she didn't realize that this action was a bit too intimate. She looked at Mu Changzhu with her beautiful and moist eyes.
"They are going too far. We are only talking about cooperation, not confrontation. Why do they act as if others are the ones who have wronged them?"
"Aren't there a lot of people like this? And using all kinds of rhetoric to make fans feel sorry for celebrities is one of the fundamental means of fan economy." Although Mu Changzhu will not directly intervene in cooperation related to the entertainment industry, he is not unaware of it.
Bai Siyu gritted his teeth.
"Okay, I'll endure it and wait for Captain Xing Jie to take action."
Public opinion exploded for three days.
The Muman brand was criticized so much that it had to close the comment section. It was in deep trouble, and countless marketing accounts came out at the same time. Whether they received commissions or just wanted to attract traffic, they all made a big fuss about it.
Muman has not been so popular in the past few years. It has always been suppressed by the serious high-end luxury brand Muye. Now it is good, and it has completely made its presence felt in the eyes of the public.
The brand department urgently contacted several popular artists to discuss endorsements, but they all declined.
Director Zhao was so anxious that his eyebrows started to fall off.
Captain Xing Jie, whom Bai Siyu had been thinking about, finally found evidence related to Xiao Junche near the body under Bai Siyu's special suggestion.
The police forensic department found a small strand of red and blue fibers in the nail crevices of the body, and these fibers were exactly the same as the fibers on the high-end sneakers of a certain brand that Xiao Junche wore at the concert those days!
The police finally obtained sufficient evidence to arrest Xiao Junche and take him to the police station to cooperate with a full investigation, and immediately drove to the backstage of a variety show recording.
In the backstage, a big internet celebrity was waiting to interview Hsiao Chun-che and wanted to shoot a short video of ten seconds with him.
Originally, Yu Meng didn't want to let Hsiao Chun-che shoot this kind of video, but considering that Hsiao Chun-che needed public attention recently, she let the staff let him into the dressing room.
As a top star, Xiao Junche has his own independent dressing room. Today's makeup is very thick but with little color. Under the lens of taking makeup, he looks very pure and sunny. He even made up his eyes from the bottom of his eyelids. His lipstick is very light in color. His clothes are also simple white T-shirt and trousers. The overall outfit is very refreshing.
Yu Meng knows how to make an artist's image fit in with public opinion.
As expected, when the internet celebrity "Yimao Teacher" saw Xiao Junche, his heart softened. During the interview, he specifically asked Xiao Junche about his views on the public opinion in recent days.
Xiao Junche naturally looked gentle and innocent, with a smile on his face, but he also revealed a hint of grievance and hurt.
He forced a smile and said, "I have always believed that as long as I do my best and have a clear conscience, it doesn't matter what others think of me. I believe that the mainstream of this world is still truth, goodness and beauty. I also hope that people who like me just like me and don't need to attack anyone to defend me."
"Yimao Teacher" edited the video very quickly, and in order to get the most attention and exposure before the recording of the variety show, he immediately uploaded the video to the Internet.
Then the video went viral immediately.
It has become the top of the hot list.
The following are fans and passers-by who have been brainwashed by the fans' "fake clarifications".
"Wuwu, really, why is our Cheche so naive? Wuwu, I feel so wronged and sad..."
"Is he really the only pure white jasmine in the entertainment industry? I apologize for thinking that Xiao Junche was pretentious before. It seems that he is really pure and innocent."
"......"
The traffic effect of the video was so good that even Teacher Yimao was a little surprised. She struck while the iron was hot and started the live broadcast.
"Hi, family, I'm outside the recording studio of the famous variety show "Cat Right Forward" on Beijing Cat Channel. I just interviewed Xiao Junche. Yes, they should be preparing now. The official recording will start soon. There is less than half an hour left..."
Teacher Yimao's voice suddenly stopped, and she was startled by the sudden appearance of a team of police officers in front of her.
She was stunned, curious and excited, thinking, is today really the perfect opportunity for a huge traffic explosion? She just had a big hit, and now her live broadcast is going to be a hit too? !
"My family, oh my god, a group of police officers suddenly showed up. It looks like someone has committed a crime inside the Shocking Cats station! I wonder if it will affect today's recording. I..."
"What are you doing?! Put your phone down!"
Teacher Yimao, who was scolded, quickly put his phone behind his back and was then cleared out by the staff who suddenly took action.
But she was extremely excited. She ran to the gate of the recording building, squatted in the green belt, found the direction facing the parked police car, and turned on the live camera.
"My family, this is really big news. The area was just cleared and I was kicked out, but it doesn't matter. I'm outside the building now. Let's see if there is any big news today."
The video just now went viral, and the live broadcast room attracted traffic smoothly. Soon it was crowded with people again, and bullet screens were refreshed one after another.
"Ah, Cheche, why is he so unlucky? He was bitten by the Muman brand two days ago, and today when he came to record a variety show, he encountered someone being arrested?!"
"Oh my god, even if I'm not a fan of Xiao Junche, I feel sorry for him. What's wrong with him every day?"
"Host, keep your camera pointed at the police car. Don't move. I want to see who was invited by the police to have a chat and affected the recording of our Cheche variety show..."
"......"
"Don't worry." Teacher Yimao was tired of squatting, so he changed his leg to use as a support point, pointed the camera of his mobile phone at the police car, and stared at the gate.
"I will definitely keep my eyes on him. I used to be a passerby of Xiao Junche, but now I am completely his fan. I am truly the only pure white jasmine flower, a poor chosen one by heaven. I declare that from today on, I will officially become Xiao Junche's die-hard fan......!"
Teacher Yimao's face suddenly turned into horror and his voice stopped abruptly.
Her eyes were slightly bulging as she stared at a pair of policemen rushing out of the door and the people they were handcuffing.
What's going on!
How come the person who was arrested was Xiao Junche? Is she dazzled? ! !
At the same time, there were hundreds of thousands of people waiting in the live broadcast room with the same fear on their faces as Teacher Yimao.
They stared at the screen intently, watching Xiao Junche, dressed in pure white jasmine, being shoved into a police car by the police.
The comments section completely exploded.
