The second day of the Chinese New Year
Xia Ningmi, who was working at home, received a call and appeared at Qianying Entertainment. As soon as she walked into the company lobby, Cheng Yu came up to her and said, "President, the company has temporarily suppressed the popularity on the Internet, but I'm afraid it won't last long."
Xia Ningmi said calmly: "Tell me the details."
Cheng Yu said: "Li Fengwei broke up with his girlfriend a few days ago. His girlfriend thought he wanted to dump her because he had fallen in love with someone else. She found an opportunity to sneak a peek at Li Fengwei's phone and saw your photos and some diaries on his phone. Your identity was mentioned in the diaries. His girlfriend thought that their breakup was related to you and posted a short essay on Weibo accusing you of being an artist under the Hidden Rules."
"Although the company has suppressed the popularity for the time being, because that Weibo post mentioned Qianying Entertainment and your name, the number of readers has been increasing. It is estimated that it will become a hot search topic soon."
Xia Ningmi walked into the elevator: "Who is Li Fengwei? Ask his agent to come see me."
"Li Fengwei is an idol singer who debuted solo a year ago. As for his agent," Cheng Yu said with a strange expression, "all his schedules after his debut are arranged by Liu Xu. Now Liu Xu and Li Fengwei are waiting for you in the conference room."
In the conference room
Liu Xu looked at Li Fengwei, who had dyed blue hair, and wanted to kick him off the building.
"How many times have I told you that you just debuted and you can't have a relationship now? But you are not only secretly having a relationship behind my back, but you also made it known to everyone and even dragged President Xia into it. Do you think you have made enough money and can retire and enjoy your old age?"
Li Fengwei sat on the chair and said nonchalantly, "Brother Liu, you are taking it too seriously. I am just in love and I have never cheated on her. Ms. Xia is so pretty, it is normal for me to have a crush on her. This is a reflection of Ms. Xia's charm. That woman just wants money. Just give her some money and let her issue a clarification statement, and the matter will be over."
Li Fengwei was able to stand out from many trainees and debut as a solo artist. His appearance and professional ability are impeccable, but his skyrocketing fame in the past year has made him become arrogant and he has lost his original awe of the entertainment industry.
"Just give some money and let it go?" Liu Xu sneered, "You're dreaming. Do you think anyone cares about your love life? Netizens are more interested in the artists under President Xia's unspoken rules. If this matter is not handled properly, the company's reputation will suffer a major blow. As the culprit, you can't deny the blame."
Li Fengwei didn't expect it to be so serious. He sat up straight and said, "Brother Liu, this is not my fault. I didn't know she would sneak a peek at my phone and find those diaries."
Liu Xu snorted coldly.
However, he doesn't know who he is just because he has a little fame. He didn't listen to his many warnings before, and now he is trying to shirk responsibility after causing such a big disaster.
After this matter was over, he immediately applied to the company to stop being Li Fengwei's agent. He couldn't control a person who was asking for trouble.
The next moment, the door of the conference room was opened.
Xia Ningmi walked in with Cheng Yu, followed by staff from the public relations department.
Because of Li Fengwei's incident, many employees of Qianying Entertainment were forced to end their vacation early and return to work.
Liu Xu and Li Fengwei immediately stood up and said, "Hello, President."
Xia Ningmi sat down at the main seat and asked, "What's the progress?"
Liu Xu said: "I have contacted Li Fengwei's ex-girlfriend, but she is very malicious towards our company and refuses to settle privately. She is determined that the company should give her an explanation online."
The PR director said, "President, we have been monitoring the online public opinion because the blogger posted your photo and the screenshot of Li Fengwei's diary on her phone. Now the public opinion is leaning towards her side."
Li Fengwei was frightened by Liu Xu just now, and immediately explained: "Boss Xia, this is really not my fault, it's all because of that crazy woman. I broke up with her properly, but she thought I was cheating on her and even peeked at my phone."
Xia Ning looked at him coldly: "Where did you get the photo?"
Li Fengwei lowered his head and said timidly, "I ran into President Xia in the company lobby before and secretly took this photo."
Xia Ning looked at the PR director and asked, "Can you clearly see any signs of candid photography in the photo?"
The PR director immediately opened his notebook and pulled up the photo, saying, "This photo is a little blurry, but you can see that the president didn't move towards the camera, so it's easy to prove that it was secretly taken."
Xia Ningmi asked again: "Is there anything in the diary that is detrimental to the company?"
The PR director shook his head: "The diary was written casually by Li Fengwei. There are many complaints and dissatisfactions about other artists in it, but the company was not mentioned. Even President Xia was only mentioned twice."
"In fact, it can be clearly seen from the diary that Li Fengwei had a one-sided crush on the president, but those people on the Internet always like to make the most malicious assumptions. They are now suspecting that Li Fengwei was dating the blogger while pursuing the president... Some even think that Li Fengwei has succeeded."
Li Fengwei was no longer as indifferent as before. He now tried his best to reduce his presence, fearing that Xia Ningmi would throw him down in a fit of anger.
The conference room was silent, everyone was waiting for Xia Ningmi to make a decision.
Xia Ningmi said, "There is no need to spend money to increase publicity or guide public opinion. Just let it develop freely. When the popularity reaches its peak, the company will announce that it will hold a press conference, and then the company's official Weibo account will broadcast the entire event live."
"Contact the reporter now, the time is set at 4pm."
Xia Ningmi stood up and prepared to leave.
The PR director hurriedly said, "President, we don't have any actual evidence to prove that Li Fengwei has no relationship with you."
This is the most disgusting thing. Xia Ningmi was clearly the one who was splashed with dirty water, but she still had to find a way to prove her innocence.
Xia Ningmi said calmly: "They also have no evidence. I will be there in person when the time comes."
After saying that, Xia Ning took Cheng Yu away.
The rest of the people heard what Xia Ningmi said, looked at Li Fengwei, and felt slightly relieved.
Anyone who has met Xia Ningmi would not think that she would fall in love with Li Fengwei. The statement that Li Fengwei would catch up with Xia Ningmi was like a joke.
Liu Xu felt that this was a humiliation to Xia Ningmi. Although he was shocked that Xia Ningmi was with Du Yuanzhe, in fact, whether in appearance or family background, Du Yuanzhe was a rare person who matched Xia Ningmi.
The only thing that is not equal between the two now is their careers.
This is also the fundamental reason why Liu Xu asked Du Yuanzhe to hide their relationship. Du Yuanzhe's current achievements are not worthy of Xia Ningmi. If it is officially announced now, public opinion will only be one-sided, which will not be good for Du Yuanzhe at all.
Without Qianying Entertainment spending money to increase the popularity, the number of readers of that Weibo post increased rapidly at an unimaginable speed. At the same time, several entries have climbed to the bottom of the hot search list.
#Qianying Entertainment President's unspoken rules for artists#
#Li Fengwei cheated#
#李峰韋夏凝覓#
Xiaopang, who has been paying attention to online news, noticed these terms as soon as they appeared on the hot search list. He quickly clicked on them to check. When he learned the whole story, he was stunned, and then angry.
Bullshit!
Why did Li Fengwei catch up with Mr. Xia? Mr. Xia is obviously Zhe Ge's.
A bunch of idiots who know nothing are making blind guesses and think they have guessed the truth.
When Du Yuanzhe came back from filming, he saw Xiao Pang gritting his teeth and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
When Xiao Pang saw Du Yuanzhe, he immediately said, "Brother Zhe, someone has snatched your wife away."
"What the hell?"
Du Yuanzhe didn't even know where his wife came from.
Xiaopang handed him his phone and saw that several marketing accounts had already summarized the whole story, so they didn't have to look for it themselves.
After reading the marketing account's summary on Weibo, Du Yuanzhe's face turned grim. He put down the script in his hand and walked aside to call Xia Ningmi.
As soon as the call was connected, Du Yuanzhe said, "I saw the Weibo."
Xia Ningmi was not surprised: "I will hold a press conference this afternoon."
Du Yuanzhe was speechless and said, "This is indeed the best way to restore your reputation."
Xia Ning asked, "Aren't you worried about your reputation?"
Du Yuanzhe was puzzled: "What should I worry about?"
Xia Ningmi: "If this matter is not handled properly, the matter of my unspoken rules for artists will be sealed, and they will criticize all the male artists of Qianying Entertainment, which naturally includes you. The matter of you playing Luo Xun will be brought up again, and even become strong evidence that you are under my unspoken rules."
It has to be said that once the assumption is established, everything will go according to what Xia Ningmi said.
However, Du Yuanzhe knew that all this was just a hypothesis, and joked: "I don't think the netizens slandered you. I don't know who forced me to live with her at the beginning. If this is not an unspoken rule, what is it?"
Xia Ningmi turned the signature pen in her hand and said calmly, "You reminded me of the unspoken rule. You have been here for so long, but you only cooked a few meals. It's too easy for you. I haven't exercised for a long time. When you come back, you can accompany me."
Du Yuanzhe suddenly recalled the bad memories and said unhappily: "Why are you all like this? Can you please stop using this trick? We are all civilized people. Using force is too rough."
Xia Ning looked at her phone for a moment and asked, "Who else would do this?"
"My brother almost beat me to death yesterday. I still remember the pain."
Xia Ningmi's expression returned to normal: "It's okay if you don't want to exercise. Just think about how to please me."
Du Yuanzhe looked at the hung up call and slapped his mouth hard: "Why am I so rude? Is she so easy to tease?"
When Xiaopang saw Du Yuanzhe coming back, he said, "Brother Zhe, Brother Liu just called and said that the company has found a way to resolve this matter, so you can focus on filming."
In just a short while, Xia Ningmi's artists had become a hot search topic, and many people in the crew must have seen it. Du Yuanzhe noticed a lot of strange looks.
Du Yuanzhe sat down and picked up the script again: "I understand."
This kind of thing is just a small matter to Xia Ningmi, she can handle it herself.
......
The matter of Li Fengwei continued to ferment. The blogger first produced evidence of her relationship with Li Fengwei, accusing Li Fengwei of looking for his sister-in-law behind his fans' backs. Then she released photos of Xia Ningmi. Although they were blurry, at least it could be seen that she was a woman, as well as Li Fengwei's diary expressing his feelings, accusing Li Fengwei of falling in love with someone else.
Netizens like to watch the excitement, and Li Fengwei's cheating incident has already caused quite a stir.
The blogger's Weibo post, which maliciously speculated that Xia Ningmi was an artist under his company because Li Fengwei liked her, completely ignited the incident.
Compared to the cheating of an idol singer who debuted for a year, the artist under the president of Qianying Entertainment, one of the two giant companies in the entertainment industry, is obviously more explosive and has also attracted the attention of many netizens.
Now, the official Weibo account of Qianying Entertainment has been flooded with netizens who have heard the news.
"Hahaha, this is hilarious. The unspoken rules of the Qianying Entertainment president. Are there any clean artists in Qianying Entertainment?"
"Xia Ningmi is so disgusting. Our brother signed a contract with the company because he believed in Qianying Entertainment, but he ended up meeting such a disgusting woman."
"This is definitely the most explosive news this year. I hope the paparazzi can work harder. I just want to know how many people Xia Ning has secretly stalked. I'll narrow the scope for you and first investigate the top male actors who have joined Qianying Entertainment in the past two years."
"I'm not surprised at all that this happened. Qianying Entertainment squeezed out many entertainment companies in just two years, and they also called themselves the two giants in the entertainment industry together with Huanxing Entertainment. How could they not use dirty tricks? It's only a matter of time before they are exposed. Xia Ningmi is just the beginning."
"I think you are too dark. Li Fengwei's diary clearly shows that he has a one-sided crush on her. Even if he really did catch up with Xia Ningmi, it would only be Xia Ningmi interfering in other people's relationships. How can it become an unspoken rule?"
"I almost don't recognize the three words 'unspoken rules'. You all can't wait to throw dirty water on me, but is there any solid evidence to prove that Xia Ning has found the unspoken rules? We are all in the fan circle, don't think that I don't know what kind of people are those who throw dirty water on me. They are not motivated by their own principles, and they don't look for the reasons from themselves, but always think of using crooked ways to suppress others."
"......"
As the popularity grew, more and more people joined in. In addition to netizens who simply came to watch the excitement, there were more fans of Qianying Entertainment's artists' rivals and black fans, and some were fans of Huanxing Entertainment. To some extent, Qianying Entertainment and Huanxing Entertainment were also rivals.
By this time, Li Fengwei had been forgotten, and everyone's spearhead was directed at Xia Ningmi and the male artists of Qianying Entertainment. Later, it even evolved into netizens calling on the male artists of Qianying Entertainment to come out and prove that they were not violated by the hidden rules.
In this regard, no artist from Qianying Entertainment spoke out. They all received a notice from the company that no one was allowed to make comments on social platforms.
Because Qianying Entertainment did not respond, the heat of this incident escalated. More and more people felt that this was tacit approval, so the Internet became even more heated, and the largest-scale verbal battle in history broke out. Now, almost all the fans of the most popular male artists in the entertainment industry have been eliminated. Everyone quarreled fiercely on the Internet, from the Qianying Entertainment incident to the mutual release of negative material, which made the netizens who watched the excitement very excited.
Until this time, the official Weibo account of Qianying Entertainment, which had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
@千影訛樂: A press conference will be held at 4pm, and the entire event will be live streamed.
Without saying a word of nonsense, he directly notified everyone of the matter. After posting on Weibo, the official Weibo account was silent again and did not respond to the comments below.
This Weibo post was instantly forwarded by many marketing accounts, and the news that Qianying Entertainment held a press conference quickly became a hot topic.
Netizens began to speculate whether this press conference would clarify the matter or would kill himself. Countless people were curious and decided to watch the live broadcast at 4 pm.
4 p.m.
Qianying Entertainment, President's Office
Cheng Yu pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "President, the reporters are here."
Xia Ning closed the document, stood up and said, "Let's go."
I took just two steps when I heard the WeChat notification sound.
Du Yuanzhe: "I have to film a movie soon, so I'm sorry I can't watch President Xia's killing spree. Congratulations in advance to President Xia for becoming an internet sensation."
Xia Ningmi stopped, typed a few words quickly, and left with Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu looked at her back in surprise. The president's expression didn't change at all, but Cheng Yu felt that her mood had improved a lot.
Film Set
Du Yuanzhe clicked on Xia Ningmi's reply.
President Xia: "Don't think I'll let you go just because you say nice things. Think about how to please me."
Du Yuanzhe shook his head. He didn't want to deny the matter. He just wanted to cheer her up. However, Xia Ningmi didn't appreciate it at all. All the methods mentioned on the Internet were of no use to Xia Ningmi.
.......
Qianying Entertainment decided to hold the press conference on the third floor. The conference room had been rearranged and reporters who arrived one after another were arranged to sit in their seats. There was only a set of tables and chairs on the stage in front of them. It was obvious that today's press conference was only held for one person.
The live broadcast room has been opened, and the camera is facing the chairs that have not been occupied yet. Netizens clicked in with great interest, but only saw a set of tables and chairs, without any human figures.
[What's going on? Where are the people?]
[It probably hasn’t started yet, but there is only one set of tables and chairs. The protagonist of this press conference is obvious.]
[Finally, I will see the true face of the president of Qianying Entertainment. The photo was too blurry. Now I am particularly curious about what Xia Ningmi looks like.]
【What the hell! What the hell! ! ! ! 】
[Ahhhhhhhhhh]
The door of the conference room was suddenly opened, and Xia Ningmi walked in on high heels. The reporters turned around and stood there in a daze. Even those who had seen Xia Ningmi before couldn't help but marvel at her beauty.
As Xia Ningmi sat on the chair and appeared completely in the camera, the barrage of comments paused for a moment, and then was flooded with “WTF?”
Xia Ning looked at the camera and then looked away. Her cold face was expressionless and she said in a flat voice, "You may ask questions now."
Only then did the reporters remember their mission.
"Mr. Xia, regarding the rumors online about your unspoken rules for artists, how do you respond?"
Xia Ning said: "My sitting here is the best response. Do you think I need unspoken rules?"
【unnecessary!!!!!!】
[I am willing to pay for it, Mr. Xia, please look at me]
[It's so funny, he actually said that General Xia had unspoken rules, how could that rubbish Li Fengwei be qualified? ]
[This is Mr. Xia’s live broadcast room, please do not mention irrelevant people]
The speed at which public opinion in the live broadcast room changes is simply unbelievable.
This is how things are in the entertainment industry. It can be very troublesome if you say it’s troublesome, but it can also be very simple if you say it’s simple. Netizens are used to thinking about problems based on stereotypes.
They always think that company bosses are either bald middle-aged men with big bellies or wealthy women with a lot of fat, as if their money was earned by their looks, and they believe that only people like them would break the rules.
The moment Xia Ningmi appeared in front of the camera, all the rumors were dispelled, and everyone felt that this beautiful person who looked like a fairy could not possibly break the rules.
Stereotypes hurt, but in this case they are the perfect solution to the problem.
The reporter was speechless when he heard Xia Ningmi's question.
But the reporters were here to dig up information, so it was impossible for them to end it like this. Another person said, "Mr. Xia certainly doesn't need unspoken rules, but regarding the netizens' belief that Mr. Xia interfered in Li Fengwei's relationship, Mr. Xia, is this true?"
[Shit reporter, don’t blame the netizens, we didn’t think that way]
[That rubbish is not worthy, don't try to offend our President Xia]
Netizens have already reached a one-sided opinion that such a pretty and wealthy girl should be left alone to enjoy her beauty.
Xia Ningmi still asked back: "Do you think I have poor taste?"
The reporter was once again speechless.
Although there are many examples of beautiful women falling in love with ugly men, they have no actual evidence and naturally cannot use it to attack Xia Ningmi.
Xia Ningmi is not only the president of Qianying Entertainment, but also the person in charge of Xia Corporation. They cannot treat her the same way they treat a celebrity.
The reporters below looked at each other and realized that they could no longer dwell on the things on the Internet. Those things could no longer have an impact on Xia Ningmi.
After a moment of silence, a female reporter stood up and said, "Mr. Xia, there are many false slanders against you online, but this also proves that netizens are very interested in your love life. May I ask if you are single now?"
[Good question, give this lady a chicken drumstick]
[This reporter asked very professional questions, I like it]
Xia Ningmi said calmly: "For now."
The reporter's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Does this mean that President Xia already has someone he likes?"
Xia Ningmi shook her head: "No."
If she was sure whether she liked him or not, she wouldn't have become Du Yuanzhe's boyfriend or girlfriend.
The reporter was a little disappointed and asked again: "Mr. Xia, can you tell me about your criteria for choosing a spouse?"
Xia Ningmi pondered and said, "Someone who can help me learn to laugh again."
What kind of answer is this?
The reporter wanted to ask more questions, but Cheng Yu, who received a look from Xia Ningmi, said, "Today's press conference ends here. Thank you for the questions."
Xia Ningmi stood up and left, and the live broadcast room was closed.
Netizens who were immersed in Xia Ningmi's beauty couldn't come back to their senses for a long time and attacked the official Weibo again, but this time the atmosphere was unusually harmonious.
"Mom, I'm in love"
"How can there be such a beautiful woman?"
"I've decided. From today on, I'm President Xia's die-hard fan. I'm going to go crazy for President Xia, go wild for President Xia, and bang my head against the wall for President Xia."
"I just heard President Xia say that she would like someone who could help her learn to laugh again. I suddenly felt a little distressed. President Xia must have experienced something very painful."
"......"
The people who had previously insulted Xia Ningmi crazily were now lining up to confess their love to her. This scene was very ironic but very real. Netizens are just that kind of people. They can praise you to the sky one second and trample you under their feet the next.
This kind of thing happens repeatedly every once in a while, but very few people know how to reflect on themselves. More people like the pleasure of feeling like they are in control of someone's destiny.
After the show, Du Yuanzhe saw the comments on Qianying Entertainment's official Weibo account and silently sighed: "Beauty is justice."
With Xia Ningmi's looks, she is the right one.
Xiaopang sat aside, glaring at him from time to time, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Du Yuanzhe read through the comments praising Xia Ningmi one by one, without even looking up, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Xiao Pang chuckled and said, "Brother Zhe, have you ever seen President Xia laugh?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "I've only seen him once."
He couldn't forget that scene even if he wanted to.
Xiaopang's eyes became unusually bright.
President Xia and Brother Zhe are truly in love.
As for Xia Ningmi saying that she was single, Xiaopang automatically gave an explanation, saying that it must be for Zhe Ge's sake, as she didn't want the paparazzi to dig up Zhe Ge's existence.
President Xia really loves Brother Zhe deeply.
