Chapter 146 Spit [VIP]
Chapter Summary: Compile a profile of this female celebrity for me.
In the text interview:
The original owner's parents saw their daughter as proud and ambitious from a young age, dreaming of becoming a big star. They spent a lot of money to support her dream.
But after Mu Zhi arrived in Beicheng, her heart became wild. She looked down on her parents and cut off contact with them.
It wasn't until later in the competition, when Mu Zhi needed to record a video message, that we reconnected with them and asked them to record a video expressing family harmony and encouraging their daughter.
Finally, over the past few years, Mu Zhi has been sending them some money every month.
However, both of them are in poor health and cannot go out to work to earn money. In particular, Mu Zhi's father was sick and had surgery, which cost a lot of money and left them with some debt. They also have a teenage son who is in school, so the expenses are huge.
The money Mu Zhi spent was a drop in the ocean and simply not enough.
Having failed to obtain alimony from Mu Zhi, I had no choice but to resort to this method to communicate with her.
The popular Weibo comment section for the topic #Muzhi's parents accuse him of refusing to pay alimony#:
"??? My God, I never imagined Mu Zhi was this kind of person!"
"She must have made a lot of money these past few years, how could she not even care about her parents? She's so cold-blooded and heartless!"
"Mu Zhi won the Best Actress award at the Golden Crane Awards yesterday wearing a necklace worth tens of millions, which is still trending on social media today. Yet, she refuses to pay her parents' alimony, and they've come online demanding money from her. It's both surreal and ironic."
"I'm waiting for Mu Zhi's response. It feels like this written interview is only one side of the story from Mu Zhi's parents. Mu Zhi has donated money many times over the years, probably adding up to ten million yuan. I find it hard to believe she hasn't given her parents any support."
"I don't think Mu Zhi is that kind of person. If you're going to accuse her, at least provide some evidence."
......
Mu Zhi's fans rushed to the scene and joined in to support their idol.
Just after seeing the negative trending topics about herself, Mu Zhi received a call from her agent.
"They only released a written interview, probably to test what we have in our hands, and then release so-called 'evidence' based on our response."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Zhi's phone showed that a call was coming in; it was from the original owner's parents.
"They called me."
Ji Binghe on the other end of the phone said, "It seems that part of the reason they are 'leaving room for maneuver' is because of that 60 million."
Perhaps the original owner's parents thought that by arranging such a negative trending topic, Mu Zhi would be forced to pay up due to public pressure.
In reality, once the negative trending topic appeared, the original owner's parents came forward to accuse Mu Zhi of being unfilial, and the negative impact had already been generated, making it impossible for the two sides to reach an agreement.
The original owner's parents, still dreaming after being fooled, called to try and talk to Mu Zhi about the 60 million.
Mu Zhi immediately rejected their call and blocked their contact information.
Continue to discuss with the agent how to respond in public relations.
Ji Binghe's suggestion was: "Let's send out the compiled payment records as a response first."
But there was one thing she just couldn't understand.
Mu Zhi voiced this suspicion: "They should be able to figure out that their accusation that I refused to pay alimony will be exposed as soon as I compile and release the payment records."
So I don't understand where the original owner's parents got their confidence? Why do they dare to lie so blatantly and distort the truth?
We can only put the payment record online for now and see what other tricks they have up their sleeves.
5 minutes later.
Mu Zhi responded directly on her own Weibo account, stating that the #MuZhi'sParentsAccusedHerOfRefusingToPayAlimony# was completely unfounded.
She made a list of every penny she had given to her original parents over the past two years, including the money she gave at the beginning of this month.
The total exceeds 20 million.
For every transfer, I had a bank statement printed out, stamped by the bank, and I posted screenshots of them, so they are authentic and trustworthy.
Mu Zhi didn't say a single bad word about her parents, but the list she presented was the strongest evidence, refuting their claims of debt, accusations that Mu Zhi only gave them a small amount of money and that she hadn't fulfilled her filial duties. These claims were all false and unbelievable.
The hashtag #Muzhi responds by posting payment list# topped the charts.
Netizens saw the payment evidence posted by Mu Zhi:
"!!! After seeing the screenshots of Mu Zhi's transfer to her parents, are Mu Zhi's parents crazy to be spreading rumors and slandering their own daughter?"
"Over two years, 20 million yuan was transferred, and yet Mu Zhi's parents still went online to demand alimony. They must have wanted more money, and when they couldn't reach an agreement, they were too greedy."
"Mu Zhi's parents couldn't possibly have no evidence and then hire the media to spread rumors about their daughter, could they? Are they just going to stay in the melon patch and wait for a counterattack?"
......
The Muzhi team is also waiting for the other party's next move.
An hour passed before they could finish waiting.
Mu Zhi's parents were represented by the media outlet that conducted the interview. They first released two blurred screenshots, claiming that they had tried to contact Mu Zhi multiple times, but no one answered or the calls were rejected. They said that Mu Zhi was very indifferent to them, which is why they chose to communicate online.
Then, an audio recording of a live interview was released.
Mu Zhi clicked on the audio, which was 5 minutes long.
The first half of the content is about her conversation with her parents and others in the private room after she won the Best Actress award last night.
It was recorded, and then edited.
Edited version:
The original owner's uncle, speaking in the tone of an elder, said that Mu Zhi and her parents were bound by blood, and that her son accused Mu Zhi of not returning home once after becoming famous and refusing to keep in touch with her parents, saying that Mu Zhi did not give her parents a chance to care.
Now that my parents are getting old and I have a younger brother who is still a minor to raise, I can't just abandon them.
He claimed that it was very difficult to ask Mu Zhi for money each time, so he proposed that Mu Zhi pay a lump sum of alimony (without mentioning the specific amount).
Then came Mu Zhi's cold response: "I will not pay you a single penny more."
The latter half of the audio is a question from the reporter, and Mu Zhi's parents' answers via video call.
The reporter focused on asking:
"The payment records that Mu Zhi posted on Weibo prove that she did make payments to you, and that there were multiple payments, including two relatively large payments in the latter two transactions."
Mu Zhi's parents responded: "The card that was deposited into for the last two transactions was opened a long time ago. We haven't used it for the past few years, so we haven't received it."
Mu Zhi:? ? ?
Ji Binghe called, equally bewildered: "Have they run out of tricks? Or are they deliberately trying to lull us into a false sense of security, with some other big move they have in store for us?"
Mu Zhi: "..."
She really never expected this.
The original owner's parents then cheated on him, claiming they hadn't received the last two large transfers.
This shameless behavior is utterly shameless.
#Muzhi's parents respond with a recording# In the new topic, it's unclear whether there were paid trolls or a small number of netizens were genuinely misled.
It is said that Mu Zhi has never returned home since becoming famous, and has been emotionally abusive towards her parents. Relatives have also spoken out against Mu Zhi, saying that Mu Zhi must have done something wrong.
The last two transfers, one for 5 million and the other for 10 million, if Mu Zhi's parents really didn't receive them, then for Mu Zhi, a top-tier actress, to only send her parents a few million over two years is indeed too little.
So it's understandable that Mu Zhi's parents, unable to contact her, would turn to Weibo to ask for alimony.
Mu Zhi's fans: ...So angry, it makes my fists hard just listening to this.
If her parents didn't ask Zhibao for money, would Zhibao still go out of her way to transfer it to their cards? Such a large transfer would require the cardholder to withdraw the money, right?
They believed that Mu Zhi's parents had clearly received the money but were pretending not to know.
After discussing it with her agent, Mu Zhi decided to disregard any potential backup plans from the original owner's parents and their associates.
Before the audio content released by the original owner's parents could ferment and spread.
Mu Zhi first posted a long Weibo post, unemotionally recounting her relationship with her parents. She explained that she had to work during winter and summer vacations to earn money for living expenses when she was a minor, and that she did not go to university because her parents did not support her.
Three years before she participated in the talent show, her parents cut off their relationship with her because they did not want to provide her with any financial support.
Later, she participated in a talent show and appeared on television. Her parents, seeing that she had become a star and thought she was now wealthy, finally contacted her. However, she knew that her parents only wanted money, so she didn't want to resume contact.
Then the prepared audio content was also released.
It lasts for a total of 15 minutes.
It is a recording of her main phone conversations with her parents.
Fans and netizens were furious after hearing the recording:
"After listening to the recording, every time she calls, she immediately asks for money with a self-righteous attitude. It's suffocating to listen to her, and I feel sorry for Mu Zhi."
"Pay attention!!! In the audio, Mu Zhi's parents said that the card was no longer in use and that they did not receive the money, but the audio that Mu Zhi released confirmed the card number with her parents herself, which proved that Mu Zhi's parents were lying from beginning to end."
"The audio released by Mu Zhi includes and reproduces the conversation between Mu Zhi and her parents in the private room. It is an unedited version with some content muted. You can hear Mu Zhi's parents and relatives threatening Mu Zhi and demanding 60 million yuan in alimony."
This is like Chun Chun treating Mu Zhi like a bank vault! She only talks about money when contacting Mu Zhi, showing absolutely no family affection, and she even has the nerve to go to the media to tear Mu Zhi apart? These bizarre parents are truly insane; do they want to ruin Mu Zhi? If I were Mu Zhi, I would have blocked them long ago and wouldn't give them a single penny!
"I feel sorry for Mu Zhi. She cut off ties with her parents before even participating in the talent show. After becoming a big star, she was exploited. They gave her 20 million yuan, but they still weren't satisfied. If she didn't get the money, they threatened to ruin her? Parents like that don't deserve to be parents. Mu Zhi is so pitiful."
......
Half an hour later, the audio posted by Mu Zhi had been played over 10 million times.
Public opinion overwhelmingly sided with Mu Zhi.
One hour, then two hours passed.
There has been no response from the original owner's parents.
Mu Zhi and Ji Binghe were somewhat surprised: Is that all?
Mu Zhi asked her agent if she had seen anyone with her parents while waiting at the coffee shop last night.
Ji Binghe shook her head, "They came out not long after you left."
She didn't follow them in her car.
However, it seems that Mu Zhi's parents did not have any substantial evidence to support their fabricated attacks that could be fatal against her.
In reality, it was thanks to Mu Zhi's long-term and thorough preparation that she had so much solid evidence against the original owner's parents that she was able to launch two powerful counterattacks, leaving the other side powerless to fight back.
After Mu Zhi released the recording, the other side's fighting force was completely extinguished.
But as Ji Binghe said, Mu Zhi's public feud with her parents over alimony has gone viral, and there are no winners.
For Mu Zhi, her image was affected to some extent.
Some overly sympathetic netizens felt that Mu Zhi had actually recorded multiple phone calls with her parents and kept them as evidence, which was terrifying.
Fans countered: Yes, yes, yes, they severed ties for 3 years. After becoming a star and making money, his parents, with ulterior motives, approached him again. He was constantly exploited and threatened with huge alimony payments. He had no choice but to willingly be leeched off for the rest of his life and hand over all the money he earned to his parents.
You are such a filial son.
Some netizens focused on the money, feeling that Mu Zhi was able to give her parents 20 million yuan in just over two years, proving that being a celebrity is really lucrative.
Fans commented: "Mu Zhi earned more than two years' worth of money compared to what other artists earned in a year. Out of 101 artists on 'Chasing the Light,' only Mu Zhi truly made it big..."
For the original parents, the online discussion about this matter will fade away in a few days, and since they don't go online, it seems to have no impact on them. However, their offline lives will inevitably be affected to some extent.
They will soon face the harsh reality of what's to come.
Ji Binghe and Mu Zhi reviewed the whole incident.
"The first link in the chain should be the jewelry incident. If your treatment at the branded jewelry store last night was lower than that of another female celebrity, and then your parents come online demanding alimony, it will ultimately become a matter of your character..."
It must be that Mu Zhi has some character flaws, which is why the brand doesn't provide her with good jewelry treatment.
Mu Zhi's public feud with her parents over alimony went viral, and despite the evidence she released to clarify the situation, netizens may not believe it. They tend to blame both sides, feeling that Mu Zhi also has issues, which has negatively impacted their impression of her.
This affected Mu Zhi's public image.
Fortunately, Mu Zhi had sufficient evidence and clarified the situation in time, minimizing the impact as much as possible.
Ji Binghe: "You won Best Actress last night, you're in the limelight and the buzz is high, so they deliberately chose this time to stir up trouble, to generate the most attention and to be the most disgusting."
You'll be back on set this afternoon filming in seclusion, and everything will calm down then.
The 'time bomb' that Mu Zhi's parents had been holding onto has finally been defused.
Ji Binghe comforted Mu Zhi, telling her to think positively and not to be sad because of such bloodsucking parents.
Mu Zhi: "Don't worry, I'm not sad."
“Zhizhi, you don’t need to be strong in front of me. I sent you a message last night, and you only replied this morning. You didn’t get any rest all night, did you? It’s past 1 a.m. now, and your flight is at 4 p.m. So hurry up and get some sleep.”
I'll have the driver and Minmin pick you up later, and we'll go to the airport together.
Mu Zhi confessed to her agent: "...Last night, He Zhiyue and I went to the mountain to look at the stars, and the signal was bad."
Ji Binghe: "!!!" Another time bomb has been dropped!
Headquarters of the He Group.
Wearing a pure white mink coat, Dong Jingwan swayed her hips as she walked into the chairman's office, led by her secretary.
He Hongshuo, who was looking down at the documents, heard the sound of high heels, looked up and glanced at Dong Jingwan, then continued to look down at the documents.
He uttered two words in an extremely cold tone: "Speak."
Dong Jingwan's face stiffened. She had told the receptionist she was looking for He Hongshuo, but was stopped.
I was only allowed to come online after sending a message to He Hongshuo saying that I had important news about He Zhiyue.
He Hongshuo really cares about He Zhiyue, that bastard child.
She took out several photos from her bag and placed them in front of He Hongshuo.
"Your good son is currently dating a female celebrity under the company."
"Last night, this female celebrity even wore [Heart of the Sky] on the red carpet."
He Hongshuo doesn't follow entertainment gossip, but upon hearing this, he immediately picked up the photo to examine it.
The first few pictures show the son, He Zhiyue, picking up a woman in his car, and the two of them sitting in the car. The last picture is a red carpet photo of a beautiful female celebrity wearing a dress and a "Heart of the Sky" necklace.
Dong Jingwan stood to the side, while He Hongshuo simply pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand, concealing the turbulent emotions surging in his eyes, and said calmly:
"If there's nothing else, you can leave now."
The secretary was called in to escort Dong Jingwan, who was gritting her teeth in anger, out of the room.
After looking at the photos again, He Hongshuo called his special assistant in.
Pointing to Mu Zhi in the photo, he instructed, "Compile a profile of this female celebrity for me."
