Chapter 038
Although everyone knew that Xu Jingning was replying to the second half of the sentence, it was hard not to wonder why he specifically replied to the one with "moving".
Even though the other person responded and ran away, netizens still used all kinds of tricks to spread rumors.
The real owner didn't refute the rumor! No wonder they think too much!
Unfortunately, this "farce" did not last long before it was overshadowed by new real-time hot spots. Yan Xun stayed on Xu Jingning's Weibo homepage while listening to the noisy interruptions on the phone.
"Forget about others, but don't try to lie to me. Xu Jingning is at your house, right?" Fang Shu's loud voice couldn't be suppressed even with the speakerphone turned off. Although his tone was disgusted, it was faintly excited. "I couldn't figure it out that day. There were a few weirdos who asked to put lemons in the living room just like you. So this is for some other purpose?"
Yan Xun's eyes were still on the Weibo post. He curled his lips and nodded a thumbs-up. Then he returned to the call interface and responded mercilessly: "Are you talking too much because of your age? If you really have so much free time, why don't I buy a few more pots for Director Fang to take care of?"
Fang Shu snorted and changed the subject: "I'm not interested. Those precious things are just for looking at. They can't stand being handled. Hey, can Xu Jingning come back for rehearsal tomorrow? If not, we'll have to wait for the performance."
"Why are you so anxious? It's not like you didn't know what to do during the rehearsal." Yan Xun, who always had high demands, actually started to let Fang Shu down, and even retorted, "If you worry too much, you'll age faster."
"Hey, Mr. Yan, what do you mean?" Fang Shu had never thought that he would hear such lazy words coming out of Yan Xun's mouth. "What? You've been in the industry for 20 years and you're not up to the task anymore, so you're starting to pass on your experience?"
Yan Xun replied modestly: "I'm not even thirty yet."
Fang Shu: “…Fuck!”
He hung up the phone cursing.
The argument ended unpleasantly that night. Fang Shu was so angry that he started to prepare a script in his mind, hoping to steal the limelight from Yan Xun. However, when they met the next day, Xu Jingning bowed 90 degrees right from the start, which made him forget the lyrics.
"I'm sorry for taking so long off! I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone!"
Xu Jingning's words were sincere, and his actions made it hard for anyone to reprimand him. Fang Shuben valued talent, so he immediately softened his heart and helped him up: "Not that bad, not that bad. There are still two days left!"
Seeing Director Fang finally smile after the high-level training in the past few days, Chu Xinrou and Xin Yao standing beside him shook their heads in amusement.
Xu Jingning is truly a treasure, and is loved wherever he goes.
Yan Xun would find an opportunity to save face for the servants: "Why do I remember someone crying and snotting to me last night, saying that they were waiting for Ningning to come back?"
Hearing this, the three students all looked at their amiable and respectable Director Fang.
Fang Shu: “…”
I'll let you go because time is of the essence.
Xu Jingning had fallen behind in rehearsal for a long time, but fortunately most of the problems had been corrected and resolved in the early stages. In the last two days they mainly moved around repeatedly to keep the feeling.
Although he resumed high-intensity training right away, Xu Jingning got into the mood quickly and didn't let himself rest until dinner time.
After reciting the words again, he walked towards the restaurant in the villa. As soon as he entered, he saw two girls in the same group discussing something enthusiastically. Xu Jingning's melon-eating radar sounded and he moved forward.
"What are you looking at, you two?"
The two looked up when they heard the voice and saw that it was Xu Jingning. Xin Yao's eyes lit up: "Ah, Ningning, you came at the right time! I was just about to call you!"
"I'm eating the gossip about Zhong Yue. Hasn't he been leaking information one after another these days? I thought it would be quiet, but today there's another one. He's really bold. He hasn't left out any of the pornography, gambling, and drug-related stuff."
Xin Yao sighed and put the phone close to Xu Jingning.
At this time, on the Weibo interface, there was a notice issued by the official Weibo account of Pingjiang Public Security Bureau, which fully summarized a series of illegal and criminal acts committed by Zhong Yue. The official outcome was that he was basically 100% guilty.
Xu Jingning knew all of this. Last night, 2874 enthusiastically reported the progress to him.
"Because he was afraid that if the matter dragged on for too long, their shameful deeds would be exposed, Zhong Yue's agent chose to cancel the appeal. I guess he didn't expect the police to be so quick and have already arrested a group of people."
"The evidence is solid and the suspect has been caught red-handed. We will be able to conclude the case soon."
In addition, some people specially listed the complete gossip, from moral corruption to breaking the law, and word spread quickly, and soon the whole network knew about Zhong Yue.
Complete social death.
Chu Xinrou's comment was very insightful: "He has achieved his dream of being known by everyone."
"Evildoers will be punished with evil."
Xu Jingning agreed with this point.
As she flipped through the pages, Xin Yao began to feel pity for him. "I just read Zhong Yue's early profile. He had very good grades in school and graduated from a professional school. If he hadn't been unlucky enough to meet such a black-hearted agent, he wouldn't have ended up like this, right?"
"I don't think so." Chu Xinrou took her phone and looked through it. "Although YS has a lot of problems, their contract is still formal. I really don't accept that agent. He could have chosen to leave when the first contract expired."
Ultimately, it's just greed that makes you go along with them.
Xu Jingning echoed: "The environment is also formed by human behavior. When we know that the trend of this industry is not right, we should not follow it, otherwise we will be washed away by the clear stream sooner or later."
"Everyone understands this, but it's very difficult to take action." Somehow Xin Yao's feelings were touched, but she started to be emo, "Hey Ningning, Xingchuan seems to have a good environment. I heard that your contract pays special attention to human rights. I'm starting to think about whether I should switch to your company... Ouch!"
Before she could finish her words, Chu Xinrou from the same company slapped her on the head: "Is our company so bad? Can you please stop being so disloyal?"
Xin Yao curled her lips.
Xu Jingning smiled and said, "You are most welcome. Our boss likes hardworking and motivated artists the most."
After hearing this, Xin Yao completely wilted.
After all, the reason why she wants to run is just because the artists in her current company are too competitive, and she doesn’t want to work hard anymore QAQ.
During the chat, Xin Yao, who had taken back her phone, narrowed her eyes, as if she had discovered something incredible: "Fuck, look at this!"
The two were attracted by her words and looked down together, and found that Pingjiang Public Security Bureau had forwarded a Weibo post.
After watching for a while, Chu Xinrou realized: "This seems to be a legal education program on the Central Legal Channel? My parents watch it often. This program likes to collect hot news and analyze cases in real time."
After hearing this, Xu Jingning suddenly had a bad feeling: "Whose legal education program are you talking about?"
Is this done by the government?????
He suddenly remembered that the police had asked him to record a short interview video two days ago. At that time, Xu Jingning was quite understanding, so he cooperated quite well and said whatever he was asked to say. He thought that at most it would be put into the file of the incident as a record, but he didn't expect it to be sent to a TV channel...
"CCTV 12, every TV station should have CCTV," Chu Xinrou became more and more determined, crushing Xu Jingning's last hope: "My parents are both law students, and they are used to watching these programs. I have followed them since I was a child, and I will not make a mistake."
Xu Jingning: “…”
This kind of program should be very careful about protecting citizens' privacy...right?
What you fear will come true. Xu Jingning's eyes jumped, and then he saw that the video on the screen was playing an interview with an enthusiastic whistleblower.
The reporter's words in the video were very enthusiastic: "Mr. Xu, how did you know that your neighbor had contraband hidden in his home?"
Enthusiastic citizen Mr. Xu humbly replied: "I didn't do anything. I just helped a few righteous ladies to expose this matter."
The face of the person being interviewed was covered with a thick layer of mosaic and the voice was also distorted, but it was a pity that the blur was not high enough. I don’t know if Xu Jingning had something to hide, but he always felt that the blur was not high enough and he could still be recognized at a glance.
Even the voice he spoke...the degree of voice change was not even as good as the adjustment 2874 made during the live broadcast that day.
Xu Jingning closed his eyes in despair.
But Chu Xinrou and Xin Yao didn't seem to react, they were so quiet as if he was worrying too much.
Xu Jingning: “Hmm?”
Didn't you recognize him?
Holding onto a vague hope, until the interview was over, Xin Yao turned around and asked with a smile: "Hey, Ningning, how does it feel to be doing an interview at the police station?"
Xu Jingning: "!!! Did you recognize me?"
"Ah, why can't I recognize him?" Xin Yao said with confusion, "Look at the structure of the neighborhood where you live. There are only two households on each floor. Everyone is wealthy and cares about privacy. There aren't many neighbors in one building. Besides, didn't he say in his performance that you live close to him?"
Xu Jingning: “…”
So this mosaic is so lonely.
Chu Xinrou could see what Xu Jingning was worried about, so she kindly reminded him, "If I remember correctly, the first episode of the second round of "Enacting Life" was just released yesterday... So, everyone should know that you and Zhong Yue are neighbors now."
Although Zhong Yue's reputation was exposed, for the sake of the program's integrity, the performers only covered Zhong Yue's face with the sponsor's product pictures and did not delete his words or segments.
Thinking of this, Xu Jingning's face turned even paler.
Well, now the whole internet knows that Xu Jingning is the enthusiastic citizen Mr. Xu!!!
Not long after this Weibo post was published, some netizens with a keen eye found out the identity of the interviewee by comparing their clothes.
Suddenly, there was a wave of enthusiasm on the Internet again, and a large number of people came to follow Xu Jingning. The Weibo post that had finally died down in popularity was filled with comments again.
Many people also went to Pingjiang Public Security Bureau to inquire about the identity of the whistleblower, but the authorities of course rejected the request on the grounds of protecting the privacy of citizens.
Netizens have sharp eyes, and Xu Jingning doesn’t dare to check his own Weibo anymore.
Seeing that the other person looked unhappy, the two girls who had just been joking and joking gradually stopped smiling.
"Um... Ningning, how are you?"
Xu Jingning blinked and forced a smile: "It's okay."
The entire online community is dead.
He even felt that he was not as good as Zhong Yue. After all, the other could disappear into obscurity once he went to jail, while he still had to stay active in the public eye.
Just find a hole and bury yourself in it! ! ! ! !
The three of them tacitly stopped the topic and focused on continuing their afternoon rehearsal.
It was not until six o'clock in the afternoon that Yan Xun came over and took Xu Jingning, who was so immersed in the play that she had forgotten the time, out alone.
"Ms. Xu called you, but you didn't answer, so she came to me."
When Yan Xun handed over his cell phone, Xu Jingning remembered that he had left it in the restaurant.
"Is there a live broadcast tonight?" Yan Xun asked casually, "If you are too tired, you can talk to Director Xu and change it to tomorrow."
Because of this, Xu Jingning naturally thought that his sister called to urge this matter. He rubbed his face to reduce his fatigue and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm mentally prepared."
Yan Xun moved his lips, as if hesitating, but he only added: "If it doesn't work, you can come to me."
Xu Jingning: “?”
Although Yan Xun's words were a bit strange, he didn't think much about it. Yan Xun found him a quiet room, installed the live broadcast equipment, and connected to the live broadcast platform that Yansheng had prepared in advance.
There was still an hour left before the broadcast, so I called Xu Xingcheng back.
"I'm already logged in. Please send me the program team's schedule."
When the live broadcast was mentioned last night, Xu Jingning did not ask much. He guessed that it was similar to the live broadcasts of the main actors of film and television dramas, where they could just chat about the program and play freely according to the process. Official and serious programs like "The Actress" generally would not set traps for the guests.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Xu Xingcheng's tone was obviously lacking in confidence: "Um... Ningning, the format of tonight's live broadcast has been changed."
"You should have seen the trending searches? The actors want to take advantage of this topic and strike while the iron is hot. They are cooperating with the Pingjiang police to do a legal education live broadcast tonight..."
"Xu Jingning, you seem to be getting famous."
