Chapter 476 Don’t Treat Me as a Horse Herd
UR can so brazenly fabricate rumors and slander Shen Zhichu, simply because she has no contract with the company, no background, and the only company with some connection to her, [AW Group], is a new company and not a threat.
Lin Qi took the opportunity to officially announce her endorsement of UR, and the comments were all filled with blessings.
Her cooperation with UR is stable. Lin Qi is happy and her agent is also happy for her. Not long ago, Lin Qi was mocked by netizens as a box office cancer, but it wasn't long ago that she became UR's first domestic spokesperson.
When artists have better resources and higher value, their agents’ salaries will also rise.
An artist from the same company called to offer insincere congratulations and asked Lin Qi to treat her to a meal.
The agent relayed the message to Lin Qi, who was sitting in front of the dressing table touching up her makeup. After hearing what the agent said, she put down the lipstick in her hand and smiled.
"Then please treat me. Just remember how many people there are and go book the restaurant."
The agent happily took out her phone to choose a restaurant. Halfway through her selection, a hot search page suddenly popped up out of nowhere. She subconsciously wanted to swipe away, but when she saw the hot search title, she froze.
UR’s remarks insulting China.
China is upgrading its policies recently, but it can't stand this little disturbance. The agent looked at Lin Qi in the makeup mirror, thinking not to disturb her for the time being. The current hot search titles are just gimmicks, but the content is completely inconsistent. She clicked on it and her face became gloomier the more she read.
Lin Qi finished fixing her makeup and turned around to see her agent still standing there motionless. She frowned and said, "Sister Mei, why haven't you gone out to order food yet?"
"Lin Qi, open your phone and check the trending searches."
"What's wrong with the hot search? Did Shen Zhichu get ridiculed and become the number one hot search?" Lin Qi opened his phone carelessly with a sneer on his face, and stood up suddenly when he saw the hot search news.
"how so?"
The one who was mocked and became a hot topic was not Shen Zhichu but herself. She hurriedly clicked on it and read the hot search. After reading it, she felt as cold as if she had just been pulled out of ice water, shivering.
How could UR insult China?
She has now officially signed an endorsement contract with UR. If she terminates the contract, she will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages. Termination is a small penalty, but she will most likely be accused of insulting the country, and her life will be ruined.
…….
The content of what Shen Zhichu posted on Weibo was very simple, without any extra words.
Didn’t UR say that it was Shen Zhichu who was shamelessly pestering their brand?
Then Shen Zhichu released the text messages that UR sent her when they approached her for cooperation, as well as the audio and video recording of Secretary Lin refusing to cooperate with UR on her behalf.
As for why they refused, the voice message was very clear, because their brand violated Shen Zhichu's bottom line and was an insult to China.
After playing the audio and video recordings, we will release the evidence one by one to avoid being accused of spreading rumors.
A year ago, the UR brand spokesperson publicly insulted China on a social platform, which caused a heated discussion. The UR brand has not given any explanation, and the spokesperson has not apologized to date.
You thought that was the end of it, but Bai Qiujing also found out all the dark history of UR abroad, and revealed that its chief designer had an affair with the spokesperson who insulted China.
Its designer often uses a second account to make inappropriate remarks on social media, mocking China's cultural policies and supporting domestic separatist forces. This is no longer a simple matter of being unable to control one's words and speaking rudely, but a political stance.
How could UR's top management not know that the chief designer and brand spokesperson insulted Hua Guo like this? They just pretended not to know, didn't care, or didn't take Hua Guo seriously at all.
It is simply wishful thinking to not take China seriously, insult the Chinese people, and still want to make money in China.
The content evidence released by Shen Zhichu was like depth charges, each one more powerful than the last, instantly arousing the wrath of netizens.
When it comes to defending the country, there are no keyboard warriors or argumentative people. Everyone comes together to boycott UR.
Lin Qi's bad luck was that just as she released the official announcement of her endorsement with UR, Shen Zhichu released the reasons why she refused to cooperate with UR.
The two sides formed a sharp contrast, and netizens smelled a conspiracy and instantly sorted out the whole thing.
First, Lin Qi announced at the official event that Shen Zhichu was collaborating with a luxury brand and asked netizens to guess. After they guessed that it was a collaboration with UR, they started hiring internet trolls to pretend to be Shen Zhichu's fans, just to slap Shen Zhichu in the face after UR announced that the real spokesperson was her, Lin Qi.
UR also disliked Shen Zhichu because of her rejection and had long wanted to teach her a lesson.
But they didn't expect that these would rebound upon themselves.
If Lin Qi wasn't so greedy, she wouldn't have ended up like this. In the end, it was greed that ruined her.
China's sovereignty must not be violated. Shen Zhichu's last Weibo post was a stern statement.
——Resolutely oppose any attempt to smear and slander the country and human rights.
The reporter saw the latest news and stopped Shen Zhichu’s car on the road.
The driver had to stop the car slowly. There was no impatience on Shen Zhichu's face. She quietly opened the car window and took off her sunglasses.
The noisy sound poured in like water.
"Miss Shen, did you guess that something like this would happen today?"
…….
"Ms. Shen, regarding UR's insults to China and their rumors about you, what do you want to say to them?"
Shen Zhichu heard this one clearly after hearing all the questions. She hooked her finger at the reporter who asked the question, handed the microphone over, and said, "Anyone who insults China will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
After she finished speaking, her eyes swept lightly across the crowd, seemingly nonchalant, but only those who were swept by her eyes knew the overwhelming momentum.
"Let's disperse. Everyone, please pay close attention to the broadcast of Nagato Hatred. See you next Monday. I'm going to go back and rest today."
The crowd dispersed involuntarily. Shen Zhichu had a smile on his face. In the camera, he slowly closed the car window and told the driver to drive out.
Shen Zhichu originally didn't want to bother with Lin Qi. After all, The Long Gate Hate was about to be broadcast, and she and Lin Qi were former colleagues, so it wouldn't be good if they had a falling out.
But the more she gave in, the more others pressed on, thinking she was easy to bully.
In Lin Qi’s super topic, fans were celebrating with loud drums and gongs like it was Chinese New Year, but now everything has gone silent, and they dare not even say a word in response to being scolded.
As for the water army accounts that pretended to be her fans, Shen Zhichu had someone uncover them and found out that they were bought by Lin Qi.
Shen Zhichu was too lazy to use her Weibo to deal with these random people, so she directly gave it to a reporter who had a good relationship with her and asked him to post it.
Lin Qi closed her Weibo account. She had just announced her endorsement partnership with UR in the morning, but in the afternoon she issued a notice to cancel the partnership.
Others at least ate the candy before being slapped, but Lin Qi's candy was gone before he could even taste the sweetness. Once it was gone, it was gone, and he had to endure all kinds of combined punches.
Chen Zhichu didn't know whether Lin Qi was confused or not.
The UR incident was reported in the national news. The store was removed from the shelves, the online store was blocked, and the store was closed. The company will be permanently blacklisted by China and will never reopen.
After losing this business channel in China, UR's shares plummeted, losing 300 million in just one day, and the loss on the second day was even greater than the previous day.
When UR suffered misfortune, its rival OVO benefited the most, quickly connecting with [AW Group] and successfully getting Shen Zhichu to cooperate with them.
"Who is the Ghost" has had a significant impact abroad. After its release, Shen Zhichu and Bai Qiujing both gained a lot of foreign fans.
After OVO and Shen Zhichu cooperated, they quickly reaped the benefits, with their sales reaching a new record high on that day.
…………. .
"Nagato Hatred" is about to be aired, and Lin Qi quickly terminated her contract with UR. Although the reputation of the show is bad, it does not affect the broadcast of the show. After all, she is the third female lead, and she plays a vicious green tea female supporting role. Now that the audience knows what kind of person Lin Qi is, it is easier for them to empathize with the plot and character.
Lin Qi lost a lot of money, and the company also took part of it. The people above her are very dissatisfied with her now. They spent money to support her to make movies, but the movies failed. Changmen Hen also relied on connections to get in, but his character failed as a result.
Lin Qi is famous now, having become famous thanks to being on national news, but such fame is worse than nothing, it is a flash in the pan, everyone is scolding her, and she is completely ruined.
The only solution was the broker's suggestion.
Apologize to the person in person. As long as Shen Zhichu forgives Lin Qi and mentions her more often in future activities, then this matter can be smoothly turned over.
Have a correct attitude and act accordingly. Don't just talk, arrange the gifts.
Since Lin Qi couldn't contact Shen Zhichu, she asked Wang Xiangrong to pass on the message and successfully persuaded Wang Xiangrong on the grounds that it would not affect the TV series.
Wang Xiangrong just conveyed a message, whether or not to see Lin Qi apologize depends on Shen Zhichu.
I thought Shen Zhichu was disdainful to see Lin Qi, but I didn't expect her to agree.
Lin Qi booked a private room in the restaurant, and Shen Zhichu and Wang Xiangrong were there together.
Shen Zhichu was able to come here entirely because of Wang Xiangrong's face.
After arriving, the agent nodded and bowed, suggesting that Lin Qi should be more sincere.
Lin Qi was fully prepared mentally, acting as if nothing had happened. Seeing Shen Zhichu was like seeing a close friend. Her acting skills were even better than when she was filming.
"Zhichu, what do you want to eat? Just order anything from the menu here."
Shen Zhichu didn't even glance at the menu. His eyes fell on Lin Qi's face, which was covered with white powder. "If you have something to say, just say it directly. I'm just passing by today. I'll leave after I finish listening."
Lin Qi's face turned anxious, and she subconsciously glanced at Wang Xiangrong who was next to Shen Zhichu. Wang Xiangrong didn't even look at her. For a moment, Lin Qi didn't know what to do. In the end, her agent pushed her.
"Ms. Shen, I asked you to come here today to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive Lin Qi and not bear grudges. This is the gift we prepared for you."
A jewelry box with a logo that Shen Zhichu recognized was worth at least six figures.
"But I just don't like the saying that adults don't remember small mistakes. I heard your apology, but I have the right to refuse it. Lin Qi, when you were deliberately targeting me, you should have thought that this day would come."
"If you don't accept my apology, then what are you doing here?!" Lin Qi couldn't control her temper and questioned Shen Zhichu righteously.
Shen Zhichu leaned against the back of the chair, raised her eyes slightly and looked at Lin Qi standing in front of her, with the aura of a king.
"Look at you, you're so incompetent and furious. You can't even contain your anger. You should just quit the entertainment industry as soon as possible."
"What gives you the right to say that? Shen Zhichu, you did it on purpose. What do you mean by targeting you? You've been targeting me the entire time. The movie was released against me, and UR as well. You knew UR was insulting China, but you didn't say it earlier or later. Why did you say it on the day I officially announced our collaboration?"
The agent at the side wanted to stop her but couldn't. He could only stand aside and watch Lin Qi screaming at the top of her lungs indifferently. Just like what Shen Zhichu said, if she couldn't even hold back her anger, she might as well get out of the entertainment industry sooner or later.
"Lin Qi, everyone knows it in their hearts and sees it with their own eyes. No one is a fool. When you slandered me with other actors on the crew, I pretended not to hear you and let you go. When the movie you starred in was released and it turned out that the company hired marketing accounts to slander me, I pretended not to know and let you go. I even ignored the sarcastic remarks you made at the official announcement event before." Shen Zhichu calmly turned the ring on his index finger.
"I'm being magnanimous by letting you go, but you can't treat me as someone who lets you go. If you still look at me now by comparing me to the Shen Zhichu who was blackmailed by the entire internet..."
Shen Zhichu paused, then stood up suddenly. He approached Lin Qi like a wild beast, pressed her shoulders, and said in a low voice, "You don't even know how you died!"
