Chapter 5
The first thing Hong Yang did when he saw the Weibo post was to call Li Ningyun.
"Don't worry about it. I asked someone to let him out."
Hong Yang: "???"
"I'll take care of this. You just need to release your finished film at the same time as theirs."
Hong Yang: "Boss, does this count as fraudulent marketing?"
Li Ningyun: "Hmm~ Why doesn't it count?"
Hong Yang: "..."
To be honest, I'm a little scared...
In the president's office of Yiming Entertainment.
The secretary reported to Wu Yiming on the progress of the film and its recent publicity.
Wu Yiming: "Okay, I get it. Just follow along. This movie is mainly to promote Shanshan, so you must not make any big mistakes."
Upon hearing this, the assistant said nervously, "Um... President, there's one more thing. There's a trending topic on Weibo right now about you and Ms. Xu Shanshan. What do you think we should do about this?"
Wu Yiming opened his Weibo in confusion.
When he saw the message hanging on his scarf, Wu Yiming frowned.
"Contact the people on Weibo and have them remove the trending search."
The assistant whispered, "Boss Wu, we've already contacted them, and they said they can't withdraw for some unknown reason."
Wu Yiming was a little stunned.
Can't remove it? Did you hire a hacker?
Before he could react, the phone rang.
It’s Xu Shanshan calling.
"Hey, Yiming, have you seen the trending searches on Weibo? What happened between us and Xiaoyun has been posted online. What should we do now?" There was an obvious tremor in Xu Shanshan's voice.
Wu Yiming quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything. I'll handle this matter."
"Yiming, who do you think leaked this information? I remember there were only three of us there..."
Wu Yiming also began to ponder after hearing this: Could it be that Li Ningyun had revealed it? But what good would this do for her?
Although he thought so in his heart, Wu Yiming comforted Xu Shanshan: "Shanshan, don't be afraid. I will take care of this matter. I will call Li Ningyun soon. If she was the one who leaked the information, I will ask her to delete the Weibo post and apologize publicly. If she was not the one who posted it, then I will ask her to post a Weibo post to clarify the matter."
When Xu Shanshan heard the satisfactory answer, she curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
But the words he said were so considerate: "Yiming, you should speak more gently and don't make it too difficult for Xiaoyun. We are indeed sorry for her in this matter, alas..."
Wu Yiming couldn't bear to hear his beloved woman sigh: "Shanshan, listen to me, we haven't done anything wrong to her. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have been apart for three years. She owes us this!"
"But...after all, it was me who failed to control my emotions and fell in love with you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be together today...wuwuwu...Yiming, I'm sorry."
Xu Shanshan's crying voice came from the microphone.
This made Wu Yiming both distressed and angry.
A woman who cares about herself is too kind and always thinks about others.
I am angry about the malicious slander against Shanshan by netizens who are unaware of the truth.
"Shanshan, don't worry, just do what you want to do, and leave everything else to me. With me around, no one can bully you!"
"Thank you Yiming, it's great to have you."
After the two of them talked for a while, they hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Shanshan looked at the Weibo hot searches on the computer with an unclear expression.
After a while, Xu Shanshan slowly curled up a cold smile: Li Ningyun, what can you use to compete with me?
After Wu Yiming coaxed his little angel, he found Li Ningyun's phone number and called her.
No one answered the phone for a long time.
Wu Yiming was very upset. He always felt that things were out of his control.
In fact, he didn't believe that the video was released by Li Ningyun.
Not only him, even Xu Shanshan didn't believe it.
They always thought that Li Ningyun's previous reaction was because she felt betrayed by her boyfriend and best friend, so she was emotional and said those words.
Wu Yiming even felt that Li Ningyun might be hiding in some corner feeling sad and upset right now.
After all, he knew how much Li Ningyun loved him in the past.
Although he did not care about Li Ningyun's love, he even felt a little disgusted.
Wu Yiming always felt that compared with Xu Shanshan, Li Ningyun was just a dispensable gold digger.
Although Li Ningyun never spent his money while they were together, that only proved that Wu Yiming was a smart man and was not bewitched by a woman like Li Ningyun.
The only one who is worthy of me is a kind and beautiful girl like Shanshan.
Wu Yiming made three calls in a row but no one answered, and he began to feel annoyed.
He called the assistant again and used the assistant's phone to call Li Ningyun again.
This time the call was answered quickly, and Li Ningyun's crisp voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
Wu Yiming was sure that his number had been blocked. He said with a dark face, "Li Ningyun, you actually blocked my number?!"
Li Ningyun blinked, a little confused:
"Who are you?"
Wu Yiming became even more furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "You actually asked me who I am? Li Ningyun, you are getting bolder and bolder now!"
The little loli of the system saw Li Ningyun's confusion and kindly reminded him: Boss, it's Wu Yiming calling.
"Wu Yiming?"
Who is it?
Little Loli: "...It's the male protagonist."
Li Ningyun: Oh, remember to record it for me.
Little Loli: "Okay, boss."
Wu Yiming heard Li Ningyun's question and sneered, "What? Now you don't pretend not to know me anymore?"
The naked sarcasm in that tone was not concealed at all.
Li Ningyun was speechless: "If you have something to say, just say it. Stop talking nonsense to me."
Wu Yiming said angrily, "Li Ningyun! What's your attitude? How dare you talk to me like that? Who gave you the courage?!"
"Who the hell are you? Don't you have any idea what you're talking about? Who gave me the courage? What are you doing here? Are you trying to act like a boss? You're just an ex-boyfriend at best. Do I need to translate what 'ex-boyfriend' means? Why are you trying to gain recognition by coming to me? Can't you live without scolding you for a day? If you're sick, go to the hospital. I don't have the heart to be responsible for your mental health.
But then again, with someone as morally deficient as you, I guess no doctor can cure you. So eat whatever you want. When you leave, I'll remember our past friendship and give you a 250-yuan fireworks farewell.
Wu Yiming roared angrily: "Li Ningyun, you are looking for death!"
Li Ningyun held the phone further away: "Tsk tsk~ So irritable? Be careful of a stroke."
Wu Yiming was extremely angry. He gasped for breath and threw his phone in anger.
The phone was thrown against the wall and shattered into pieces in an instant.
The assistant beside him was startled.
Then I looked at the mobile phone parts scattered all over the floor and felt sad.
Wow wow wow ~ My wife, who I just spent a month's salary to buy, has not even been used for a week and it was broken just like that...
It took Wu Yiming a long time to calm down his anger.
Then he sadly discovered...
He was so angry that he forgot about the important things...
So he could only silently say to the trembling assistant beside him: "Go and borrow me another phone."
Assistant: "...Okay, Mr. Wu."
Woohoo~ My wife got hurt... Will the company reimburse her...
Soon, I received the mobile phone that the assistant brought again.
Wu Yiming called Li Ningyun again.
"Hello, how are you, who is this?"
After hearing the same question as before, Wu Yiming fell strangely silent this time.
Li Ningyun was a little impatient: "Speak, or I'll hang up."
Li Ningyun knew that it was Wu Yiming who called. After all, with the little loli hanging around, how could he not know?
Li Ningyun was happy since he could cause trouble for the other party.
Feeling the long silence from Wu Yiming, Li Ningyun's already limited patience was almost exhausted.
"It's me again. I just want to ask if you posted the video on Weibo?"
Li Ningyun raised an eyebrow: "Ah~ Can you talk properly? I thought you were a fire powder spirit, but it turns out you have a cooling-off period."
Wu Yiming took a deep breath, suppressed the anger rising in his heart, and said word by word through gritted teeth: "Li Ningyun!"
Li Ningyun almost laughed out loud.
"Haha, if you think it's me, then it's me~"
"What's with that attitude? There were only three of us there. Who else could it be if not you?"
"Yes, yes. You're right."
"Li Ningyun, what's your attitude?!"
Li Ningyun laughed: "Why? You just want me to admit it so you can put the blame on me? Then why don't I just go along with you?"
Wu Yiming wanted to throw his phone away again.
He suppressed his irritation and said earnestly, "Xiaoyun, I know you didn't post it, but Shanshan is very sad because of this video. She regards you as her best friend. You don't want to see her being scolded by the whole network at this time, right?
Besides, Shanshan's dream since she was a child was to become an actress. If things continue like this, her career will be ruined. Putting aside our relationship, you and Shanshan have been good friends for many years. You can't bear to watch this happen, right?"
Li Ningyun said with a smile: "Well, you are right, I really can't just stand there and watch."
When Wu Yiming heard Li Ningyun's words, the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
He said that Li Ningyun loved him so much, as long as he softened his tone a little, she would do as he asked.
snort!
But Li Ningyun's next words made Wu Yiming's smile, which had just risen, freeze on his face.
"I'll move a small stool, grab a fruit plate, and watch while I eat. Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? And you still can't bear it?! I wish you two would get hit by a car, choke to death while drinking water, choke to death while eating, or even burst your hemorrhoids while going to the toilet and die from excessive blood loss. How can I not bear to watch? I don't even know how much fun I can have watching it!"
Wu Yiming: “…”
Li Ningyun was satisfied, and then slowly said: "Don't talk to me about feelings. The last thing we can talk about is your cheap feelings. Just tell me what you want to do."
Wu Yiming: “…”
Wu Yiming no longer had the mood to argue with Li Ningyun, so he got straight to the point: "Go online and admit that you seduced me. Shanshan is innocent, and you are the mistress."
Li Ningyun was so angry that she laughed: "Wu Yiming, you are really shameless. How thick is your face? When the country was researching bulletproof vests, why didn't they think of peeling off your skin to try it out? I guess even an atomic bomb can't break your thick skin! If this is really developed successfully, you can be regarded as contributing to the country and the people, and you won't be useless and just produce garbage, right?"
Wu Yiming: "...you don't have to be so sarcastic. You are the mistress to begin with. If it weren't for you, I would have been with Shanshan a long time ago. How could it have been delayed for three years?"
Li Ningyun: "Oh~ This sounds fresh. You still have the nerve to say three years. If I remember correctly, it was you who pursued me shamelessly in the beginning, right? Why didn't you say you liked Xu Shanshan when you were pursuing me? When you were sick and I was taking care of you in the hospital, why didn't you say I was a mistress? When you said you had a bad stomach and asked me to make breakfast for you every day, why didn't you say she was your true love?
This is really like being a whore and still wanting to be a saint. All the good things are yours? If you are so capable, why don’t you rule the earth? "
Wu Yiming: “…”
Why is she so talkative now, and I can't get a word in at all...
Wu Yiming took a deep breath and silently advised himself in his heart: Don’t be angry, stay calm!
As a businessman, Wu Yiming deeply understands one thing: there is nothing that cannot be negotiated.
If the deal fails, it only means that the chips you gave are not enough!
"Don't say those useless things. As long as you post a clarification online, you can come to work at my company. I promise you, as long as you write the script, I will arrange for it to be filmed, and you will be credited as the screenwriter. Think about it carefully. As a recent graduate, this treatment is not something that ordinary people can get."
Li Ningyun: "Haha, then I really want to thank you, Mr. Wu. But I think you should find a solution yourself, like asking someone to remove the trending search on Weibo or something. What do you say?"
"Oh, by the way, please don't hire any online trolls to throw dirty water on me. You know, we've been together for three years, and I still have the evidence from our chat logs. If I see anything unfavorable to me online, I will post it all online."
Wu Yiming roared in frustration: "What on earth do you want?!"
Li Ningyun didn't care about Wu Yiming's temper at all. She smiled and said, "Boss Wu wants to protect Xu Shanshan's reputation and is willing to destroy mine. Although I'm a small figure with little influence, my reputation is also very important!"
Wu Yiming was silent.
Li Ningyun smiled and said, "So, you have to pay more!"
Wu Yiming: “???”
Wu Yiming really couldn't keep up with Li Ningyun's train of thought.
He rubbed his swollen head and asked, "How much do you want?"
Li Ningyun: "Fifty million."
Wu Yiming raised his voice in surprise: "How much did you say?! Fifty million?! Why don't you just go and rob it!!"
"Boss Wu, you're joking. I'm robbing right now."
Wu Yiming: “…”
"Li Ningyun, if you still have this attitude, I think we have nothing more to say."
Li Ningyun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll hang up now. Goodbye, Mr. Wu."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
Wu Yiming: “…”
He listened to the busy tone on the other end of the line and looked at his phone in confusion.
When he was sure that the call was hung up, he angrily threw the phone again.
"Li! Ning! Yun! You're great! Just wait for me!"
When the assistant outside the door heard a loud "bang" in the office, he knew that his colleague's phone had also suffered the same fate as his wife's.
Sigh... the president is so irritable... will he hit someone?
If you hit me... should I hide?
Wuuuuu…If I don’t hide, can you reimburse my medical expenses?
He kept fantasizing in his mind, but walked into the office with a calm face: "Boss, you want to see me?"
Wu Yiming: "Go find some hackers with better skills and have them hack that trending search."
Assistant: "Boss Wu, I've just contacted several top hackers, but they all said they can't do anything. The other party's skills are too advanced, and they can't do anything."
What the assistant didn’t say was that not only did those hackers fail to successfully hack into Weibo’s hot searches, they were also infected with viruses by the other party, causing their computers to crash!
The other party is still looking at his hacked computer screen and doubting his life!
Wu Yiming tugged at his tie angrily: "Then keep looking for someone! You can't even do this!"
