Chapter 354 In the World of Crows, Swans Are Guilty
He has been involved in many dirty things on his way to his current position. He is not kind and will do anything to achieve his goals. He is stingy and holds grudges. If he wants to beat someone to death, he will never let go. He is like a honey badger who will not let go of the other person even if the scalp bleeds. He is full of hostility and there is nothing he is afraid of.
The environment can determine a person's character. This sentence is perfectly reflected in Li Jingshen.
Li Jingshen was born in the emotionless Li family. He does not understand love, does not know how to love, and even disdains to love. Over time, he seals himself in darkness to protect himself.
He is good at disguising himself and used to laying out plans. Others take one step at a time, but he takes three steps at a time. He has an absolute way out so that he won't get himself into trouble.
But there was an exception in his arranged life. Shen Zhichu unexpectedly appeared in his life. She was like a ray of light shining into his dark world.
In the darkness, even a faint ray of light cannot be ignored, not to mention that Shen Zhichu is so dazzling.
A seed fell silently into his heart, took root and sprouted, and finally became a towering tree.
Li Jingshen is particularly good to his subordinates, paying them high salaries. He has everything that other companies have, and he also has things that other companies don't have.
For example, Zhao Qian, although he was a little tired, he was completely voluntary and willing to fight for Li Jingshen.
He has worked for Li Jingshen for almost thirteen years and knows Li Jingshen too well. He is too competitive and good at disguising himself. He always gives people the impression that he is invincible and superior. After disguising for so long, even he himself has forgotten that he also has a vulnerable side, such as this lung cancer.
If Zhao Qian had not come to Rongcheng this time, Li Jingshen might have died here.
He died quietly, without anyone noticing, because no one cared about his fragility and no one thought he would die.
How does the saying go?
The scourge lasted for a thousand years, and no one could have imagined that Li Jingshen would have such a short life.
The only people in this world who truly care about Li Jingshen and don't want him to die are probably those who have a vested interest in him. But apart from interests, Li Jingshen is nothing and lives a truly miserable life.
………
After leaving the cemetery, Shen Zhichu didn't know where to go for a moment. In such a large place, there was no place where she could feel safe. Was she too weak?
Shen Zhichu returned to the hotel, fixed her makeup, and got out of the car.
The trending search for "The Actors Are Arriving" fermented for a whole night before slowly dying down, but it was followed by posts from Zheng Xiuxiu and Li Yi.
Shen Zhichu didn't check Weibo. When he arrived at the hotel, he didn't get out of the car immediately. Instead, he looked outside through the car window. Sure enough, he saw paparazzi squatting in an inconspicuous corner to take pictures.
Fortunately, the hotel’s security was good and these people were unable to get in.
Shen Zhichu got out of the car, carried the bag and entered the hotel. At the door, she handed her ID card and door card to the security guard for inspection. She was allowed in only after confirming that everything was correct.
After returning to the hotel room, Shen Zhichu sent a text message to Bai Qiujing to report that he was safe, and then began to look at the trending searches online.
It was obvious that Zheng Xiuxiu came prepared. Major marketing accounts took advantage of this wave of hot searches and dug up all the "black materials from Shen Zhichu's adult life."
Zheng Xiuxiu posted a message on Weibo to accuse Shen Zhichu.
——"I can say that I have exhausted all my energy for this performance these days, but I didn't expect the result to be like this. I can only say that you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. I still need to keep my eyes open before accepting any work in the future.
I also hope the production team can come out and give an explanation. I have always respected Director Cheng, and I don't understand why you would allow such a bad artist to join this program and insult the profession of "acting"? Is it because you and Director Wang Xiangrong are good friends?
I don't want to say any more and will leave it to the press conference in two days."
The first hot comment was a repost by Li Yi, with the caption "Keep going!"
Li Yi and Zheng Xiuxiu have a group of CP fans, and when they saw the hot search, they reposted it and expressed their love for him.
"Li Yi dotes on Xiuxiu too much."
"Duxiu Yizhi is real!"
"We've already contacted the press conference. Li Yi and Zheng Xiuxiu will be attending together. Wait for a live broadcast."
"I feel sorry for my Xiuxiu. Daily question: When was Shen Zhichu banned?"
"Why are all the directors I'm optimistic about recently all bewitched by Shen Zhichu? Did Cheng Gou and Wang Gou both sleep with Shen Zhichu?"
"I'm a little disappointed. I had developed some feelings for Shen Zhichu after watching her performance, but I didn't expect the result to be like this. They actually changed the script without permission."
"Is the person above you a fan of Shen Zhichu? I didn't expect she still has fans. It's ridiculous. But congratulations on leaving the darkness and joining the Shen Zhichu black fan group."
“……….”
Zheng Xiuxiu looked through the trending searches and didn’t expect that the effect of “selling misery” was so good. She has been trending for more than 24 hours and her popularity is still rising. She has completely gone viral.
Zheng Xiuxiu logged into her second account and joined netizens in scolding Shen Zhichu. She had already liked hundreds of Weibo posts that slandered Shen Zhichu, with a look of contempt in her eyes: Shen Zhichu, you asked for this!
Who made her steal her role? She said she would make the production team regret it and make Wang Xiangrong regret choosing Shen Zhichu.
She leaned back on the sofa with a facial mask on her face and snacks on the coffee table in front of her.
Being the second female lead in a movie like "Changmenghen" is nothing. She is now so popular that she has gone beyond the circle and has firmly established herself as a top star. She can even choose the scripts.
Zheng Xiuxiu's agent called her to share the good news: "Xiuxiu, I've received several scripts for leading female roles. You're going to be a big hit this time. There's also a very popular dating show that's been cast for you and Li Yi."
Zheng Xiuxiu's smile froze: "What? Let me and Li Yi participate in a dating show."
The agent explained: "It's just a copy of the couple on the show. It won't affect anything in real life. Didn't you see your couple rankings? They're already ranked second. It's a good thing for you not to suffer any loss. Don't underestimate the power of couple fans. They are very keen to spend money. Why not take advantage of the free leeks?"
The image of Bai Qiujing flashed through Zheng Xiuxiu's mind, and she held the phone tightly without saying a word.
The agent advised: "Seize the opportunity while you have it. Don't let the heat fade away and end up losing more than you gained. Besides, I think Li Yi is quite good. He is more than a good match for you in terms of both ability and appearance."
"He deserves it!" Zheng Xiuxiu blurted out.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Zheng Xiuxiu held her breath. Li Yi, was he worthy of this? If it weren't for her, how could Li Yi have stepped forward this time? Who knows, he might continue to be invisible in some corner.
Thinking of Li Yi's cowardly appearance, he actually had to rely on a woman to become famous. How could a man like that be worthy of her?
Zheng Xiuxiu couldn't help but think of Bai Qiujing. Her mind was completely occupied by this man. Thinking of his handsome face, superb acting skills, and prominent family background, only a man like him was worthy of her, but why did he choose to fall for Shen Zhichu?! What was so good about a slut like Shen Zhichu!
Zheng Xiuxiu was unwilling to accept it, but she had to admit that what her agent said made sense. Since the popularity had finally come, she had to seize the opportunity.
Anyway, it's just for hype, so a piece of meat is indispensable.
Seeing that Zheng Xiuxiu hadn't spoken, the agent cautiously asked, "Isn't Li Yi your senior brother?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Having been with her for so long, how could the agent not know what she was thinking? "You did a good job stepping on Shen Zhichu this time. Li Yi helped you, so just consider it as repaying him a favor."
Zheng Xiuxiu is not a person who pursues a pure image, so she is not worried that her fans will be upset by her relationship. Besides, this is not a real relationship, but just a promotion to hype up the couple's popularity for the show.
"Okay, I agree to participate in the dating variety show, but you have to arrange my schedule. I still want to take on some acting jobs, so our schedules don't clash."
"Don't worry, I've already arranged the press conference. You and Li Yi will be together at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow. Remember to rehearse your lines and don't let anyone get you into trouble. Don't shed a few tears during the live broadcast, and don't wear heavy makeup."
"I see. Then Sister Li, please find some online influencers to help me promote the live broadcast."
"It's just a small matter, don't worry." The agent patiently gave Zheng Xiuxiu a few more instructions before the call was hung up.
………. .
In the hotel, Chen Zhichu had already looked through all the hot searches. Zheng Xiuxiu posted a long article on Weibo this morning. Soon the studio forwarded it on Weibo and @ the live broadcast platform and press conference, confirming the time to be 9:20 the day after tomorrow morning.
As soon as she finished watching it, someone called her anxiously.
Shen Zhichu picked up the phone and saw that it was Wang Xiangrong calling her, most likely about Zheng Xiuxiu's matter. As expected, he opened his mouth and asked.
"Shen Zhichu, are you okay now?"
"I'm fine." Shen Zhichu said in a relaxed tone. She stood up and took a bottle of soda from the cabinet. She put her cell phone on the table with the speaker turned on. She opened the can while listening. Wang Xiangrong on the phone could hear the voice clearly.
I still have the energy to eat and drink, so it seems the impact is not significant.
Wang Xiangrong: "..." He was silent for a moment and then asked, "Why couldn't I get through to you when I called you yesterday?"
"I turned off my phone for a while, so I didn't see it."
Wang Xiangrong was extremely anxious, but Shen Zhichu, the person involved, looked calm and indifferent.
"I told you that you were wronged, and you're not angry?"
"I'm not angry." Besides, what's the point of being angry? She'd been through so much in her previous life, and she'd been smoothed over by now. It wasn't worth getting angry over this garbage.
"Why hasn't your company's PR team come out and resolve this? If it wasn't you, sue them for defamation. If you keep silent, it's almost a fact. With Zheng Xiuxiu's acting skills, do you still need to change the script mid-run? This audience is probably blind."
"Since you said you are the audience, then the audience is there to watch the show. The bigger the commotion, the happier they are. In this circle, right and wrong are not important. In the world of crows, swans are also guilty. Don't take it seriously." Shen Zhichu took a sip of water and said slowly.
