Chapter 36



Qianying Entertainment

Cheng Yu said: "President, Mr. Liu from Shixing called and asked you to come to the golf course to discuss the next cooperation."

Xia Ning looked at the time and said, "I'm off work today. I've made another appointment with Mr. Liu."

After watching Xia Ningmi leave, several people in the secretariat couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with the president lately? Why does he leave work before six every day?"

Cheng Yu said silently that someone was waiting for her to go home.

Film Set

Du Yuanzhe is currently filming a scene opposite Wang Xingliang. In this scene, Director Li suspects that there is a traitor in the secret service headquarters and is using the opportunity of a casual chat to test Mu Huang.

The two of them exchanged words, accompanied by their micro-expressions, letting the onlookers know that both of them were in a state of anxiety, and every word they said had a deep meaning, creating a tense and exciting atmosphere.

"Card!"

Zhu Mi stood up and applauded: "Teacher Wang and Yuanzhe both acted very well. Even though I knew the plot, I couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that Mu Huang would say something wrong and reveal his identity in the next second."

Du Yuanzhe said modestly: "Thanks to Teacher Wang for guiding me."

Wang Xingliang smiled and said, "I have to thank you for letting me enjoy such a satisfying feeling."

Only when you meet a worthy opponent can you let go and perform, because you are sure that the other party can catch your play.

Zhu Mi said: "Today's scene is over, let's call it a day!"

The staff who had been waiting on the side immediately started to clean up.

Du Yuanzhe went into the dressing room and changed back into his own clothes.

As soon as he came out, Xiao Pang said, "Brother Zhe, Brother Liu just called and told you and Mr. Xia not to meet alone outside."

Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "Hasn't her popularity subsided?"

More than half a month has passed, and it is impossible for netizens to only pay attention to Xia Ningmi.

Xiaopang said, "An hour ago, someone ran into Zhou Heng at Jincheng Garden and took a photo of him crying and repenting for his mistakes. He wanted to meet President Xia to apologize in person, but President Xia was unwilling to see him."

"An unexpected encounter?" Du Yuanzhe sneered.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Xiaopang: "Because of this video, the internet has started discussing this matter again. Some people think it is President Xia's freedom to decide whether to forgive Zhou Heng, but some people think Zhou Heng has repented. After all, he is President Xia's biological father. Regardless of whether President Xia forgives him or not, he should at least meet Zhou Heng. Because of different opinions, there is already a quarrel online."

Du Yuanzhe frowned: "Zhou Heng has found the navy, right? Otherwise, it is impossible for so many people to support him."

Xiaopang nodded: "Brother Liu thinks so too, but President Xia has been pushed to the forefront again. The matter between her and Zhou Heng has not been resolved yet, so it is not appropriate for her to have another scandal with Brother Zhe."

Du Yuanzhe said: "Let's go back to Huahu Apartment first."

Xia Ningmi has been going home very early lately. She is always there whenever Du Yuanzhe gets home, and this time is no exception.

As soon as Du Yuanzhe entered the room, he asked, "Do you know what happened on the Internet?"

Xia Ningmi put down the document and said, "He is trying to force me to compromise in this way. He made a wrong calculation."

Du Yuanzhe walked over and sat down, saying, "Zhou Heng intends to use public opinion to counter public opinion. He doesn't need you to really forgive him. He wants to use this opportunity to get the trolls out to change the situation where he was previously scolded by the entire network. As long as the netizens have different opinions, his reputation on the Internet will be slightly improved, and his company can be saved."

He snorted coldly, "I've read the navy's comments. They claim that Zhou Heng is your biological father after all, and that he has been trying to make up for you all these years but was prevented from meeting you by your mother. They also claim that their family has prepared a room for you. In short, they are playing the emotional card and creating the image of a loving father."

"The navy is also cooperating with them, saying that Zhou Heng is most sorry to your mother, and that he doesn't owe you much. Your attitude is too inhumane."

Du Yuanzhe is very familiar with online public opinion. As long as someone deliberately guides it, even if it is an obvious thing, netizens can be divided into two factions. Many people just want to argue for the sake of arguing. They hold up the banner of justice, but their purpose is not to seek justice for someone, but just to make themselves feel good.

Du Yuanzhe guessed, "If Zhou Heng understood public opinion, he would not have waited until now to make a move. I guess someone must have given him a move, and it might be Jiang Chelin."

Jiang Chelin is the president of Huanxing Entertainment and understands public opinion best.

Xia Ningmi said calmly, "I never intended to use public opinion to bring him down. Since he has the ability to get through this, let him do as he pleases."

Du Yuanzhe looked at her and said, "I knew you would react like this. You don't hate him or care about him. You just want to be a stranger to him."

If she wanted to deal with Zhou Heng, Dingsheng Furniture would have been gone long ago.

Xia Ningmi said, "What the netizens said is correct. The person he feels most sorry for is my mother. I will not forgive him on behalf of my mother, nor will I exaggerate the harm he has done to me."

Du Yuanzhe: "If you don't want to pursue the matter, forget it. Anyway, Zhou Heng will have a hard time in the next few months. He has stirred up the Internet and made people who dislike him dislike him even more. If he is smart, he will know that he has to keep a low profile and let netizens forget about him."

This is the most basic whitewashing tactic. Now the navy is speaking for him so that the matter can be blurred. When the matter is brought up again in the future, Zhou Heng can make up a brainwashing package to win over more people to his side and whitewash himself.

Du Yuanzhe asked: "By the way, Zhou Chenlang's mother has never appeared. Where did she go?"

It has been said that Zhou Heng cheated on his wife, but no netizen has found out who he cheated with. If it weren't for the illegitimate son Zhou Chenlang, this matter would never have been confirmed.

Xia Ningmi said calmly, "He's dead. Ten years ago, she died in a car accident. Zhou Chenlang was left alone and had to come to Zhou Heng. That's when we found out that he already had an illegitimate child."

Du Yuanzhe said nothing more.

The person is gone, there is no need to judge her behavior.

......

Film Set

Du Yuanzhe was waiting for the show when he received a call from Lu Xuan.

"Yuanzhe, I know why Wang Yanxuan met with the fashion editor of AL magazine in private."

Du Yuanzhe asked in agreement: "Why?"

"She wanted to embarrass a female star named Wei Lingling. I checked online and found out that Wei Lingling was the woman you snatched from Jiang Chelin before. Yuanzhe, tell me the truth, is Wei Lingling Jiang Chelin's girlfriend?"

Du Yuanzhe didn't intend to hide it from him, and said, "I told you a long time ago that Wei Lingling and Jiang Chelin were emotionally entangled, but you didn't think about it that way."

Lu Xuan muttered, "Who would have thought that Jiang Chelin would find a female celebrity as his girlfriend?"

Du Yuanzhe asked: "How did you know this?"

Lu Xuan gloated: "Today, Wei Lingling went to AL magazine to shoot the cover, and immediately found out that there was something wrong with the clothes they provided. It was soon found out that it was the fashion editor who did it. That person was stubborn and didn't give out Wang Lianxuan, but I took pictures of them meeting privately, so of course I guessed that Wang Lianxuan was the mastermind behind it."

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Lu Xuan, it's your turn next."

Lu Xuan said, "I have already prepared for this. I have specially asked a classmate who is studying abroad to contact the marketing account. Even if Jiang Chelin wants to investigate, he will have to wait for a while, which will cause him more trouble."

Du Yuanzhe praised: "This is a good idea."

Lu Xuan smiled proudly. He had thought for a long time before coming up with this method to prevent Jiang Chelin from finding him easily. He did not transfer money to that friend, so Jiang Chelin could only use the stupid method of checking interpersonal relationships, which was much slower than checking transaction records.

Lu Xuan acted quickly, and with the hard work of a large number of navy troops, the fact that President Jiang allowed his first love to act recklessly towards a female star became a hot topic.

Lu Xuan did not reveal that Wei Lingling is Jiang Chelin's girlfriend, because once Wei Lingling's identity is exposed, netizens' attention will be focused on the emotional dispute, which will have little impact on Jiang Chelin. Only by characterizing her as a rich person who relies on her wealth to do whatever she wants can the anger of netizens be focused on Jiang Chelin.

An hour later, the entry #江士general commissar pulls off others# had climbed to the top of the trending searches, and the number of reads increased sharply.

Netizens were very excited. They didn't know what happened this month. They got to know about the gossips of two giants in the entertainment industry one after another. The gossip about President Xia of Qianying Entertainment had already reversed. They were very curious about whether Jiang Chelin's news was true.

But regardless of whether it is authentic or not, netizens are merciless in their insults. Even if they are wrong, the worst that can happen is that they can just apologize. They are very familiar with this process.

Chiang Group

As soon as the assistant saw the trending search, he immediately reported it to Jiang Chelin.

Wei Lingling completely ignored him and didn't even answer the phone. He was in a very bad mood and was even more furious when he heard the news: "What's going on? What did Wang Linxuan do?"

The assistant said, "According to the information leaked by the marketing account, Miss Wang privately contacted the fashion editor of AL magazine and asked him to deliberately ruin a female celebrity's clothes in order to embarrass the female celebrity in public. The marketing account is also trying to lead the trend, saying that it is because of your support that Miss Wang can be so reckless."

Jiang Chelin frowned: "Is this a small matter worthy of being on the hot search?"

Assistant: "This trending search came up very quickly. Someone must be targeting you on purpose."

Jiang Chelin ordered: "Go and investigate who is behind this. Also, who is the person targeted by Wang Linxuan? Let Wang Linxuan apologize herself!"

Of course Wang Lianxuan had to solve the troubles she had caused herself.

The assistant said, "The marketing number didn't mention who the female celebrity was, but President... Miss Wei is going to shoot the cover of AL magazine today."

Jiang Chelin was stunned for a moment and asked, "The person Wang Linxuan was dealing with was Lingling?"

The assistant nodded: "Many netizens also speculated that it was Miss Wei."

Jiang Chelin was furious: "Am I too lenient with Wang Linxuan? She actually dared to attack Lingling. I will immediately ask the Ministry of Justice to send a lawyer's letter to Wang Linxuan to hold her legally responsible."

Wei Lingling had already ignored him, and Wang Lianxuan's doing this was simply adding fuel to the fire. How could Jiang Chelin let her go so easily?

The assistant said in embarrassment: "President, President Chiang may not agree."

Wang Lianxuan dared to keep pestering Jiang Chelin not without support. No one knew how she caught the eye of old man Jiang. Old man Jiang liked Wang Lianxuan very much and always invited her to live in the old house. In order to avoid her, Jiang Chelin had not returned to the old house for a long time.

When Jiang Chelin heard this, his face turned extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "I will go back to the old house tonight."

The assistant continued, "The online public opinion is very unfavorable to you. If we don't respond, I'm afraid that netizens will really think that you are bullying others by taking advantage of your power."

Jiang Chelin was having a rare headache. Not only the netizens, but he also had to explain to Wei Lingling.

Jiang Chelin rubbed his forehead and said, "Let the company come out and say that this matter has nothing to do with me. It was all done by Wang Lianxuan alone."

The assistant said: "I'm afraid netizens won't believe it."

Jiang Chelin snorted coldly: "Let Wang Lianxuan explain the rest herself. If she doesn't do it, don't blame me for not caring about your grandfather's face."

"Find out who is behind this as soon as possible, and focus on investigating Du Yuanzhe. He is the only one who would target me like this, and he also deliberately concealed Lingling's information."

"Yes, President."

Soon, the official statement of Jiang Group was released.

@Chiang Group: President Chiang and Ms. Wang Linxuan have nothing to do with each other, and the claim of condoning and protecting her is completely absurd. Our company will hold anyone who fabricates rumors or defames President Chiang accountable for their legal responsibilities.

The official Weibo account completely denied any connection between Jiang Chelin and Wang Linxuan, but netizens did not believe it because the official Weibo account did not provide any evidence. However, the photo of Wang Linxuan and Jiang Chelin having a private meal was forwarded crazily on the Internet. The two people in the photo were blurry and their faces could not be seen clearly, but people who knew them could confirm that they were the two people.

Netizens were more willing to believe the photo than the official Weibo account's dry statement of "it has nothing to do with anything", so Jiang Chelin was criticized even more harshly, and netizens began to say that he was not responsible.

......

Wang Lianxuan was cursing at home: "Why was it exposed? Didn't you say that this didn't happen in the plot?"

[There is no story in the plot about you and Mr. Jiang being friends. From the moment you started changing the plot, the plot of the novel was no longer static.]

"What should I do? Jiang Chelin's assistant just called me and asked me to explain this matter myself. I can't just admit it, right?"

[You have only one way, sincerely admit your mistakes, remove Jiang Chelin, and then personally apologize to Wei Lingling]

"Apologize?" Wang Lianxuan's face was grim: "I won't go!"

You have no choice

Wang Lianxuan gritted her teeth and said, "I did. I could have said that Wei Lingling was Jiang Chelin's girlfriend. I just did something wrong on impulse because I loved Jiang Chelin too much. I could even trick netizens into thinking that Wei Lingling was the one who came between me and Jiang Chelin."

[If you really do this, you will never be able to become Mrs. Chiang. Chiang Che-lin would rather make Mr. Chiang angry than take action against you. Can you resist? ]

Wang Lianxuan felt deflated.

[We made a mistake this time. We cannot use these methods to deal with Wei Lingling. The heroine of the novel is not so easy to deal with. We will make a new plan after we get through this stage.]

Wang Lianxuan was helpless. The incident was becoming more and more heated. Coupled with the pressure from Jiang Chelin, she could only publicly admit her mistake, which was more painful for her than if she were killed.

Half an hour later, netizens saw Wang Linxuan's apology statement, saying that she made a mistake due to momentary confusion and was willing to accept public criticism. She would also apologize to the female star and ask for forgiveness, and explained that she and Jiang Chelin were just friends now and Jiang Chelin would never tolerate her.

After reading her apology, netizens still focused on Jiang Chelin:

"I suspect Jiang Chelin must hate Wang Linxuan to death. He has nothing to do with Wang Linxuan, and Wang Linxuan said they were just friends. I say, don't you both give contradictory testimonies?"

"I heard before that Jiang Chelin was a rising star in Yancheng's business community, handsome and capable, so I had a good impression of him. But now I have no feelings for him at all, and he doesn't have any responsibilities as a man at all."

"Tsk tsk, they are so powerful that they almost made me look bad, but all they did was give me a simple apology without any real compensation."

"......"

Wang Lianxuan's statement did not improve Jiang Chelin's reputation, but made it worse. Jiang Chelin is now being ridiculed by the entire Internet.

The assistant said with a bitter face: "President, today's incident has affected the company's stock price. The directors just called and hope that President Jiang can handle this matter as soon as possible."

Jiang Chelin said coldly: "Let's go back to the old house now."

Jiang's Old House

Grandpa Jiang was lying in the sun leisurely. When he saw Jiang Chelin coming back, he said in a gloomy tone, "Isn't this my eldest grandson who is busy with official duties? You finally remembered that you have a grandfather?"

Jiang Chelin said with a sullen face: "Grandpa, Wang Lianxuan's stupid behavior has already affected the company's stock price."

He didn't dare mention Wei Lingling. The old man didn't like Wei Lingling, and the topic would be diverted as soon as Wei Lingling was mentioned.

Although Mr. Jiang was retired, he was not really oblivious to what was happening outside. He already knew about this matter and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Chelin said: "Send a lawyer's letter to Wang Linxuan and hold her accountable."

Only by completely breaking off relations and mobilizing the navy to guide public opinion can one restore his reputation.

Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "It's not that serious. Lianxuan loves you too much, so she made a mistake. She just promised me that she would never do it again."

Jiang Chelin frowned: "Grandpa, the company's stock price..."

Mr. Jiang raised his hand to interrupt him: "I am confident that Jiang's will be handed over to you. Don't tell me that Jiang's cannot withstand any disturbance because of your management."

A giant like Chiang Kai-shek cannot be bankrupted by a few curses from netizens.

Even if Jiang Chelin's reputation is ruined, as long as his credibility in the business community remains unchanged, many companies will still rush to cooperate with him.

Moreover, this matter is nothing but a trivial matter in the eyes of many bigwigs. Even if netizens curse him to death, it will have no impact on Jiang.

Jiang Chelin was unwilling to accept this: "Grandpa, there is a way to restore my reputation, why don't you use it?"

Mr. Jiang looked at him and said meaningfully, "Are you doing this for your own reputation, or are you anxious to explain to your girlfriend?"

Jiang Chelin's expression changed slightly.

Old Master Jiang snorted coldly: "Is this your vision? I had my eyes on Xia girl before, but you didn't want to. Now I have my eyes on Lianxuan. You two had feelings for each other before, but you still don't want to. Che Lin, do you think you don't take an old man like me seriously just because you have the power?"

Jiang Chelin was helpless: "My feelings should be decided by me. What does this have to do with power?"

"It's a big deal. If I don't hand Jiang over to you, you have to get married according to my request."

Why some second-generation rich people cannot control their own marriages? It is because their economic lifeline is in the hands of their parents. How can love be more important than bread?

Jiang Chelin couldn't continue the conversation with Old Master Jiang, so he turned around and left with a sullen face.

Online public opinion fermented for a whole day, and Jiang did not issue a second statement. Jiang Chelin could not get rid of the label of bullying others by abusing his power. Although the impact on Jiang was limited, Jiang Chelin himself was extremely disgusted, especially when he speculated that Du Yuanzhe might be the mastermind behind the scenes, Jiang Chelin was even more disgusted.

But the assistant couldn't find Du Yuanzhe after a whole day of searching, so Jiang Chelin had to bear it. He felt very depressed and had no energy to explain to Wei Lingling. Of course, the main reason was that Wei Lingling ignored him.

......

Flower Lake Apartment

Du Yuanzhe never thought that such a small plan would be so successful.

"That shouldn't be the case. Jiang Chelin is not someone who will take a loss. Wang Lianxuan tricked him so much, but he didn't do anything at all. Could it be that he has really fallen in love with someone else?"

Xia Ningmi said: "It should be Mr. Jiang who saved Wang Lianxuan."

Du Yuanzhe looked puzzled: "Why would Mr. Jiang protect Wang Lianxuan?"

These two people have no intersection in the novel.

Xia Ningmi: "When Mr. Jiang was traveling abroad, he ran into Wang Linxuan by chance. Wang Linxuan seemed to have helped him with something. After that, Mr. Jiang took a liking to Wang Linxuan and even wanted her to marry Jiang Chelin."

[It's messed up. The plot is completely messed up]

Du Yuanzhe frowned, he was almost certain that Wang Lianxuan knew the plot, and she even used the plot to establish a relationship with Mr. Jiang in advance, finding a big backer for herself. With Mr. Jiang protecting her, Jiang Chelin couldn't touch her, which would be very helpful for her to seize the fate of the heroine.

"No wonder she dared to attack Wei Lingling, it turns out she has nothing to fear."

[I wanted Jiang Chelin to make up his mind to deal with Wang Yanxuan, but now it is impossible]

Xia Ning looked at him: "You want to deal with Wang Linxuan?"

Du Yuanzhe nodded: "Wang Linxuan might cause trouble in the future. I wanted to deal with her in advance, but unfortunately I failed."

Xia Ning said: "I can help you."

Du Yuanzhe was stunned for a moment and nodded: "This opportunity has been missed. Next time I catch her, I will ask you for help."

[Wang Lianxuan will definitely make a move on Wei Lingling, there will be no shortage of opportunities]

Xia Ningmi said: "Jiang Chelin should guess that you are the mastermind behind this."

Du Yuanzhe brought out a plate of sliced ​​apples from the kitchen, all with skewers on them. He handed one to Xia Ningmo and said, "Just know it if you know it. I asked Lu Xuan for help to hide it from Wang Lianxuan, but I didn't expect to hide it from Jiang Chelin."

[But there is no need to hide it from Wang Linxuan in the future. She has messed up the plot, so nothing is surprising.]

Du Yuanzhe asked: "What kind of fruit do you like to eat?"

Xia Ningmi finished eating a small piece of fruit and said, "Anything is fine except peach."

"Why don't you like peaches?"

Xia Ningmi said calmly, "When I was a kid, I was hospitalized because of an allergic reaction to eating peaches."

Du Yuanzhe said in fear: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Fortunately, I have never bought any dessert containing peaches from you."

After saying that, he muttered, "The Snow Meringue has fruit filling inside, and I don't know if it has peach filling. I have to remember to remind the store clerk next time."

Before, he always let the clerk pick two at random.

Xia Ningmi looked at him quietly, watching him say it over and over again as if he wanted to remember this matter firmly in his heart.

A scene from her childhood unconsciously emerged in her mind.

The weather was good that day, and Xia Yiyao was in a good mood, too. It was a rare occasion that she was in the mood to play with her daughter, so she took Xia Ningmi to play in the living room. She happened to see some fruit on the table, so she picked up a peach and wanted to feed it to Xia Ningmi.

It was only when the nanny reminded her that Xia Yiyao remembered that Xia Ningmi could not eat peaches.

But Xia Ningmi remembered that she had been hospitalized in front of Xia Yiyao because of an allergy to peaches.

Seeing Xia Ningmi lost in thought, Du Yuanzhe waved his hand: "What are you thinking about?"

Xia Ningmi looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Du Yuanzhe, I am beginning to believe what you said before."

Du Yuanzhe was puzzled: "What?"

Xia Ningmi didn't answer.

When I think back on the past, it is no longer just scars, because there is someone who is healing those wounds little by little.

This person belongs to her alone!
