Chapter 388: Cutting the Gordian knot
"Md, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
Jiang Zhiqiang was furious and threw his phone to the ground in frustration, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
After some inner struggle, he decided to kneel down to Tengda. However, the most urgent task was to find out who was behind the rumor about Liu Shishi.
At this time, Star City is a five-star hotel.
The protagonist Yang Mi, who was overwhelmed by the overwhelming negative news, was talking on the phone with her agent Zeng Jia.
"Mi Mi, is the recording of Happy Camp going smoothly?"
"It's okay." Yang Mi responded weakly, but when she thought of the goat licking her feet wildly during the recording of the show, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face.
Zeng Jia noticed that Yang Mi was in a low mood, so he quickly comforted her: "Mi Mi, don't take those rumors on the Internet to heart. The company will help you deal with it."
"Thank you, Sister Jia." Yang Mi was in low spirits and looked listless. The negative news that went viral on the Internet still had a significant impact on her.
"Mi Mi, you have to learn to adjust your mindset. Think about it, even Liu Shishi was attacked, which shows that these things are inevitable for popular artists."
Yang Mi forced a smile, and felt a little better. Then her gossiping heart burned: "Jia Jie, do you think Shishi really can't have children?"
She had read the explosive post about Liu Shishi, which made a lot of sense.
The whistleblower claimed: Liu Shishi was injured while filming, which made her infertile and she needs long-term and careful recuperation, otherwise she will be left with serious sequelae.
You have to know that Song Ci is worth hundreds of billions, and he is already 25 years old this year, so he is not young. Liu Shishi and Song Ci have been together for many years, and they should have had children for the Song family long ago.
Moreover, even if the couple is young and does not want to have children for the time being, their parents-in-law will urge them. After all, Song Ci is the only child in the Song family, and for any wealthy family, continuing the family line is the top priority.
The explosive post was written in such a serious manner that Yang Mi was somewhat skeptical.
Zeng Jia pondered and said, "Logically speaking, the rich and powerful value offspring the most. Even if the couple has a good relationship, they should have a child. After all, having a child will ensure the rest of their lives. The Song family has hundreds of billions of assets, so they definitely want an heir!"
"Is it true that Shishi can't..." Yang Mi exclaimed, "What if, I mean what if this is true, will Mr. Song have a concubine? After all, hundreds of billions of assets can't be left without an heir, right?"
Zeng Jia interrupted immediately: "Don't guess! This is not something you should worry about. Just wait and see how things develop!"
"Well, I just said it casually. It has nothing to do with me anyway." Although Yang Mi said this, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild in her heart. There was always an idea that she couldn't get rid of.
"You should keep a low profile recently. If you hadn't been the first to speak up for Zhao Wenzhuo, you wouldn't have been targeted."
Yang Mi curled her lips, somewhat disapprovingly, there are pros and cons to things. She was the first to stand up and gained a lot of popularity.
I just didn’t expect that the Hong Kong circle would be so ruthless and smear her like crazy, saying that she had plastic surgery, breast augmentation, and was a little gangster in the past…
Zeng Jia sighed softly: "These negative news will definitely seriously affect your popularity among the public! I thought about it, if you can withstand the pressure from the Internet, why don't you just go the black and red route?"
"Black and red?" Yang Mi frowned slightly.
Zeng Jia simply explained: "When facing negative public opinion, we actively transform controversy into attention, thereby maintaining traffic."
Yang Mi fell silent. Although her agent spoke lightly and only a few words, she understood that once she embarked on this path, it would mean that she would be surrounded by controversy and negative news from then on.
"Sister Jia, it's not that easy to turn malicious attacks into traffic dividends."
"That's natural!" Zeng Jia said seriously, "It's not easy for a star to be famous and stay famous for a long time!
The black-red route is a great test of the team's operational capabilities, precise public opinion guidance, capital layout, and personal image reshaping, all of which are indispensable. "
Yang Mi smiled bitterly: "I am being attacked by so many people right now. Is this the only way I can choose?"
"It depends on your choice. And not everyone can take this path if they want to. The artist themselves must have psychological resilience and the art of self-deprecation, and the team needs to understand public opinion management and maintain the initiative in public opinion."
“Let’s do it!” Yang Mi gritted her teeth. If she didn’t act tough on herself, how would she be able to turn things around quickly and make some capital?
Zeng Jia shook his head and said, "You are tired today. There is no rush for this matter. Wait until you have thought it through. Once you have made up your mind, there is no turning back."
Just as he was about to end the call, Zeng Jia remembered something and said in a serious tone, "Mi Mi, break up with Liu Kaiwei!
He is an irresponsible person and is of no help to your career. Being with him will only drag you down.
I don't expect you to find a wealthy family like Liu Shishi, but at least find someone who can help your career a little, right?"
"I have decided to break up with him." Yang Mi said in a low voice, feeling drained of energy.
"Really?!" Zeng Jia was pleasantly surprised and a little astonished, wondering secretly, no matter how she tried to persuade Yang Mi, she was still unwilling to break up with Liu Kaiwei, so how come she suddenly came to her senses?
Yang Mi said tiredly, "His vision and ideas are too poor, and they are completely different from my ideas. This time when the two entertainment circles are confronting each other, he doesn't even have the courage to support his girlfriend. I am so disappointed."
"It should have been done long ago. A short pain is worse than a long one. It's better to see him clearly sooner! It's getting late. Don't think too much. Get some rest."
The noisy day is finally over!
The next morning, Four Seasons Hotel Sydney, Australia.
In the presidential suite, Liu Shishi stretched and woke up from a sweet dream.
Yesterday on Valentine's Day, she and her husband flew to Sydney and enjoyed a romantic concert at the Opera House, spending a wonderful time together.
I picked up the phone and was stunned to see n missed calls. I quickly called back.
"Hey, Sister K, what happened?" Sister Yi's voice was still cheerful in the morning, and she had no idea that there was chaos in the country.
"Little ancestor, you finally answered the phone! Where are you now?"
"I'm attending an opera in Sydney and will be joining the crew at the end of the month, so my husband and I came out to relax for a few days."
Cai Yinong suddenly realized why he couldn't contact her yesterday. Sydney time is three hours ahead of Beijing time. It was already early morning in Australia when the incident happened, so she must have been resting.
"Shishi, something big happened. Last night..."
As Sister K explained the whole story, Liu Shishi's face became more and more ugly. She was instantly furious, her chest heaving violently, and she shouted angrily: "This is so cruel! These black people deserve to die!"
After venting her anger, Liu Shishi asked coldly, "Have you found out who is behind this?"
"not yet!"
"Don't worry about this, Miss K. I will go back to China today to investigate this matter and make those people pay the price."
"Who should pay the price?" Song Ci, who had just finished washing up and returned to the bedroom, was stunned when he saw his wife's ashen face.
"Hang up, Sister K!" Liu Shishi ended the call, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then her eyes turned red and she was about to cry: "Yi Yi, someone cursed me."
"Why are you crying, baby?" Song Ci held his wife in his arms distressedly, gently stroking her back, and soothing her softly, "Tell me what happened?"
In the warm embrace of her husband, Liu Shishi tearfully recounted the entire story. The more she spoke, the sadder she became, and her tears could not stop falling.
"Okay, okay, stop crying." Song Ci kissed away the tears on his wife's face, "Let's go back home like this."
Although Song Ci had no expression on his face and looked extremely calm, if there were people who were familiar with him present, they would know that the richest man was extremely angry at this moment.
"Yeah!" After venting her tears, Liu Shishi's depression dissipated a lot, and she suddenly whispered shyly, "Yi Yi, let's have a child."
"Silly girl, you won't be able to wear a beautiful wedding dress if you're pregnant." Song Ci smiled and wiped away the tears from his wife's eyes. "Wait until after the wedding. Don't let those gossips affect you."
"Okay!" Liu Shishi nodded obediently, temporarily suppressing her desire to give birth to children for Song Ci.
"Go wash up, pack up and return home."
"Right away." Liu Shishi picked up her phone and opened Weibo.
This matter is ultimately related to the Hong Kong circle, so she decided to call on her fans to launch a "holy war" and let millions of lions seek justice for her.
It takes 11 hours to fly from Sydney to Beijing. During this time, Liu Shishi and Song Ci fans have joined forces to launch a massive "net clearing operation."
The little lions vowed to seek justice for their idols, and scolded those Hong Kong artists to the point of becoming autistic and quitting the Internet.
Some fans of Hong Kong stars were unwilling to be outdone and tried to fight back, but were quickly drowned out in a wave of criticism and even their personal information was dug out and posted online.
Platforms such as Weibo, Tieba, and Tianya instantly became battlefields for fans, and the entire entertainment industry was shocked by this unprecedented "fan war."
Donghai Tangren Film and Television, President’s Office.
Assistant Lin Xia reported anxiously: "Boss Cai, Senior Sister Shi's fans are completely out of control! Someone is constantly stirring up trouble, and the Internet is in chaos. If this continues, the authorities are likely to intervene."
Cai Yinong looked serious: "We must find a way to appease the fans!"
"Now the fans are like lions running on the grassland. No one can persuade them except our senior sister herself!" Lin Xia spread her hands helplessly. She had tried all the methods she could think of.
"Then I will contact Shishi and ask her to post a message to persuade the fans."
Just when Cai Yinong and Lin Xia were getting anxious like ants on a hot pan, the flight of the richest couple had just landed at the Capital International Airport.
As soon as Song Ci walked down the gangway, he received an unexpected but reasonable call from Director Wang, who was in charge of Hong Kong and Australian affairs.
"Mr. Song, is it convenient to talk now?"
"That's convenient. Director Wang, please go ahead."
Director Wang got straight to the point: "Recently, the entertainment circles of the two places have been in a standoff. This matter has caused a lot of uproar. The senior leaders are very unhappy. I hope you can come forward to calm this matter down."
"The leader has given an order, and we must obey it!" Song Ci's eyes flashed coldly, "But what about the grievances my wife has suffered?"
"Mr. Song, the person who spread the rumor about your wife is not from the entertainment industry."
"Oh!" Song Ci was a little surprised, but after a second thought, he felt it made sense, "Who did this?"
Director Wang paused and said: "It was a group of liberals in Hong Kong who were trying to sow discord and deliberately create confrontation between the two places.
The authorities have been paying close attention to this matter since it first started, but we did not expect it to develop to this extent in such a short period of time, so the chief hopes that you can step in and calm this storm as soon as possible."
"I see." Song Ci nodded, "Director Wang, do you have a list of the people who spread rumors about my wife?"
"some!"
"Can you give me a copy?"
Director Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, even if I don't send you, I'm sure you can find it out. But I advise Mr. Song to think twice before doing something.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China, and the imperial court meeting is imminent. The chief hopes to maintain unity and stability, so Mr. Song must not make any unwise moves that would only upset the chief. "
Song Ci's eyes were like torches: "Director Wang, being too soft will lead to failure. Only a combination of hardness and softness is the right path. In this world, there is always a price to pay for doing wrong. Please tell the chief that Song is young and frivolous, and I am afraid that I will disappoint his expectations.
If you can't even protect your family, what's the point of making money and running a business. But please rest assured, Chief and Director Wang, I will only target the main culprit and will not implicate other people, nor will it affect the overall unity and stability. "
"Boss Song, I will convey your words to the chief." Director Wang sighed, "Hey, Boss Song, the chief and you are both from Peking University. He has always been very fond of you and has always been very protective of you. Don't let the chief down."
Song Ci was silent for a long time: "Song Ci is grateful for the leader's kindness."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Shishi shook her husband's arm and hurriedly persuaded him: "Yi Yi, forget it, it's just a few rumors, I won't lose a piece of meat."
She heard the entire conversation between her husband and Director Wang. If her husband offended the senior leader because of such a trivial matter, it would be more trouble than gain.
Song Ci waved his hand to interrupt Liu Shishi's words and kissed his wife's smooth forehead softly: "Don't worry, I know what to do. I should also use some means to let some people know that I, the richest man in Asia, am not someone to be trifled with."
"Tang Yue."
"Boss, please give me your orders." The bodyguard leader Tang Yue had a frosty face and stood solemnly waiting for orders.
"I will send you a list of names. After verification, I will arrange for them to go to Africa to enjoy the diamonds there."
"clear."
"If you can't do it, you don't have to come back."
"Please rest assured, boss!"
Song Ci nodded and took his wife's slender waist: "Shishi, let's go home!"
At 5 pm on February 15, Song Ci, Asia’s richest man and chairman of Tenda Technology Group, updated his Weibo.
Song Ci v: That’s it!
Subsequently, his wife, top actress Liu Shishi, deleted the Weibo post calling on fans to launch a "holy war."
Soon after, artists under Tengda Culture also deleted their previous Weibo posts in support of Zhao Wenzhuo.
Almost at the same time, Hong Kong star Li Ming, famous director Wang Jing and others also deleted their blog posts on social media expressing support for Zhen Zidan.
Platforms such as Baidu Tieba and Tianya Forum also quickly cleaned up a large amount of negative information about celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Many artists in the entertainment circles of both places understood that the richest man had to personally step in to settle the matter and completely quell the storm, so they deleted their Weibo posts one after another, and for a moment it seemed as if things had returned to the starting point.
That night, Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhen Zidan both spoke out, apologized for occupying public resources due to their dispute, and said that they would resolve the dispute through private negotiations.
At this point, the Zhen Zhao incident, which had been causing a stir for more than ten days and affected hundreds of celebrities in both places, finally came to an end.
