Gossip is always a feast that can ignite a frenzy among netizens.
In less than a day, two of the top five trending topics on Weibo were related to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen and his agency immediately issued a statement.
They claim that all the reports are baseless and have seriously damaged the artists' reputations, and they reserve the right to pursue legal action.
Chu Chen's fans also stood up to criticize the irresponsible media outlets that broke the news.
However, just an hour after their statement was released, the media outlet that broke the news published a new report.
Furthermore, the post included a photo of Chu Chen and a middle-aged woman sitting together in a car, behaving intimately.
Chu Chen and his agency never expected that someone would have obtained the photos, which were taken several years ago.
They had just issued a statement saying that everything was a media fabrication, but the media immediately released solid evidence to refute them.
Now, any statement they make will be seen as sophistry.
With the success of "Eagle Eye," Chu Chen's acting career has finally reached its peak since his debut, and the company is formulating a series of plans to promote him.
Unfortunately, this scandal broke out just when the topic was trending.
Chu Chen's agent went to see Chu Chen, who was still recovering from his injury, and sighed.
"The company will contact the reporter who broke the news and try to shut him up and suppress the news's popularity."
"This is all old news, and yet someone is still bringing it up. Someone must be deliberately trying to smear me," Chu Chen said angrily.
Chu Chen's agent was too lazy to listen to her explanation. "Keep a low profile lately and don't cause any more trouble, or no one can save you."
One scandal can be suppressed, but if there's something even more serious, no one can suppress it.
Celebrities rely on their fans for a living, and once their image is damaged, it becomes very difficult for them to maintain their position in the industry.
Fortunately, this happened many years ago, and as long as the controversy dies down, it won't affect his career too much.
On the other side, Qiao Lin was browsing news online, sipping his coffee with satisfaction.
Sure enough, once the scandal of Chu Chen being kept by a wealthy woman broke, no one online mentioned the "section chief couple" anymore.
Then, my phone rang and I answered a call.
What price did they offer?
"As agreed, it's half for each of us."
"Next... the next one will be about that female assistant's abortion."
...
Gu Weiwei watched him finish the call and guessed what had happened from his tone.
"I never expected you to be so ruthless in your underhanded tactics?"
The story of Chu Chen being kept by a wealthy woman was something he bought and that he hired to expose to the media.
Now, Chu Chen and his agency are definitely trying to do public relations, paying the media outlet that broke the news to delete the report or clarify the situation.
He and the other party split the money of Chu Chen's agency in half, and then had someone release other dirt on Chu Chen.
Chu Chen's reputation was ruined, but he also made back the money he spent on buying damaging information.
"No problem," Qiao Lin chuckled.
In this industry, everyone has their own tricks up their sleeve.
"I won't interfere anymore, you can handle it yourself," Gu Weiwei said.
Chu Chen is a terrible person, and she... isn't a good person either.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure he gets kicked out of the entertainment industry and never comes back," Qiao Lin said through gritted teeth.
At first, they just wanted to buy some dirt on him to ruin his reputation, but it turned out that they found out so many despicable things about him.
If people like that stay in the entertainment industry, they're just polluting the environment.
