Chapter 48: You Know a Person's Face, Not His Heart
"Looking back at Liu Yuenan's struggles over the years, a story suddenly occurred to me. Legend has it that Zhuangzi, a representative figure of our Taoist school, disillusioned with the mundane world, retired to the countryside. One day, returning from the fields, Zhuangzi passed by a cemetery and saw a woman in plain clothes, fanning a grave with a fan. Curious, Zhuangzi approached and asked, 'Young lady, why are you fanning a grave here?' The woman fanned the grave while replying, 'My deceased husband is buried here. We had a very close relationship, and before he died, he left a will saying that when his grave was dry, I could remarry.' As we all know, Zhuangzi studied under Laozi and learned the ability to summon wind and rain. The woman looked quite pitiful, and with a single act of magic, a gust of wind dried up the grave. Seeing this, the woman quickly thanked him, handed the fan to Zhuangzi, and happily remarried."
"After telling this story, I feel like I need to recite a poem: Everyone praises their deep gratitude when they are alive, but everyone wants to fan their grave after they die. It is difficult to depict the bones of a dragon or a tiger, and you can know a person's face but not his heart."
"When it comes to making friends, especially in love, you have to see the other person clearly. Otherwise, you'll not only be cheated on, but you'll also be stepped on. Okay, that's all for today's late-night skin-shaking show. Where can I find the explosive news? Late-night skin-shaking show. Dear viewers, see you next time. We're also recruiting guests from the public. If any guest wants to participate in this show, please sign up by posting on Weibo to me or my wife."
At the end of the video, Su Yang turned the skinning incident into a stand-up comedy. It was not only hilarious but also full of explosive material, especially the last sentence, which almost made people laugh to death.
"Sign up, you idiot! Do you think this is a good thing?"
"Fuck, I've learned a lot. Liu Yuenan is really awesome..."
"I admire you, I really admire you. This isn't some naive, innocent thing at all, this is simply Liu Yuenan's promotion story."
"Fuck, with that kind of intelligence and skills, she'll definitely survive to the end in a palace drama."
"Hahaha, you can't be too Liu Yuenan, you're making me laugh to death..."
"That last poem is so cool. You can only know a person's face but not their heart. That's a great quote."
"Hahaha, the widow fanning the grave, Su Yang, you made up that story yourself. And you said it was a story from Zhuangzi."
"Zhuangzi: How the hell did I not know about this? Hahaha..."
"Zhuangzi: I won't take the blame for this..."
Countless netizens were in an uproar under Su Yang's Weibo post. This video went viral and began to spread across the internet.
No one expected that Su Yang would launch a counterattack in this way on this night.
Everyone still vividly remembers his antics during the day, when everyone thought Su Yang was just talking big. But his counterattacks at night were incredibly sharp, each one deadly. Any single piece of this negative information could ruin an artist. Furthermore, if all of it were true, Liu Yuenan's days in the entertainment industry might be over.
Could it be fake? Looking at the information Su Yang pulled out, I'm afraid there is little hope that these things are fake. After all, Su Yang named the names, and a few days ago he forced a group of Weibo celebrities to line up to apologize to Qin Shuyao. If it were him today, he would definitely not deliberately discredit Liu Yuenan and get into a lawsuit.
It was a bombshell, no, it was a nuclear bomb that exploded directly in the entertainment industry.
Many people don't even dare to forward this video. The information is so shocking that even the self-media outlets that are used to profiting from others' misfortunes are a little scared.
"This bastard is too cruel."
Tang Qing didn't sleep in the hotel. After watching the video sent by Su Yang, Tang Qing took a deep breath.
It was cruel, too cruel. This was simply to torture Liu Yuenan to death, leaving no room for easing.
She didn't understand Su Yang. That was just the way he was. When it came to dealing with an enemy, he either gave in or risked his life. He'd strike the snake at its most vulnerable point, and he'd root out the grass. Since he'd already offended someone, it was safer to kill him directly than leave him half-dead for a counterattack.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of Liu Yuenan's room.
Liu Yuenan opened the door in a daze and saw Fang Min standing at the door with a gloomy face.
"Nannan, something big happened!"
Fang Min, who is usually calm, now has a trembling voice when speaking.
She had just finished watching the video and was almost unable to walk afterward. As Liu Yuenan's manager, Fang Min had been with her for an inordinate amount of time, having been her manager since her debut. She was even behind the scenes, orchestrating many things. She knew at least 80% of Liu Yuenan's negative information, if not 100%.
It was precisely because of this that she behaved in this way, because she knew that Liu Yuenan might be finished this time.
Inside the room, Liu Yuenan felt cold all over after watching the video sent by Su Yang. In this hot summer vacation, she could not feel any warmth.
"Why did he hold on to me? I didn't offend him, why did he hold on to me? Why..."
Liu Yuenan felt very wronged at this moment.
She felt that she had not offended Su Yang at all. Wasn't it just taking advantage of Qin Shuyao's popularity? Isn't that the way it is in the entertainment industry?
Liu Yuenan cried, she felt wronged. She was really panicked at this moment. She was not a fool, she knew very well what these things meant to her.
"Don't panic, don't panic. Calm down, let's think of a solution and contact the company first."
Fang Min tried hard to calm herself down. The more panicked she was, the more likely something would go wrong.
As for directly arguing with Su Yang, Fang Min completely gave up the idea.
Fang Min was filled with fear at the information Su Yang had revealed. This bastard had actually managed to dig up so much secret information and even piece together such fragmented information. This ability was truly terrifying. The most crucial thing was that Fang Min had no idea if Su Yang had any other explosive material, whether he was setting a trap for her to strike back. After all, there was more to Liu Yuenan than just this.
Thinking about this matter more carefully, Fang Min felt extremely horrified. From the very beginning, it seemed that she and Liu Yuenan were being led by Su Yang.
Qin Shuyao's popularity didn't benefit from it, but instead she stepped on Liu Yuenan's corpse to rise to the top. Not only that, Su Yang also gained a lot, just look at Su Yang's Weibo fans.
Before this incident, although Su Yang had some fame in the circle, that fame was almost all brought to him by Qin Shuyao.
This time, Liu Yuenan simply stretched out her head and handed Su Yang a knife with her own hands.
Liu Yuenan sacrificed her own head to help Su Yang become famous in the entertainment industry.
Fang Min regretted it now. If she had known this would be the outcome, she would have been willing to pay eight or even sixteen million, not to mention four million.
Many people are destined to remain sleepless this night.
Tianhe Entertainment even held an emergency meeting, and the public relations department staff were pulled out of their beds in the middle of the night to discuss specific public relations policies.
Liu Yuenan's negative news quickly spread online. Despite the cautionary tale of Qin Shuyao, many media outlets, tempted by the potential for profit, couldn't resist taking advantage of her. Liu Yuenan, a second-tier female artist in China and known for her naiveté, quickly became a trending topic.
