Chapter 20

Logically speaking, which popular star doesn’t have a few scandals?

It’s not like Shen Huai hasn’t been paired with someone before. Because of his stable image as a gentle senior, he even has partnered with many students in the show.

But most of the fans are just playing around, no one really thinks it's real. Strictly speaking, the nature of his and Sang Le's affair isn't particularly serious. Compared to bed/sex photos and the sudden appearance of a child, a forehead kiss is indeed very innocent in the entertainment industry.

But the timing of this post was too coincidental, and the target happened to be Sang Le, who is currently at the center of controversy and is suspected of directing and acting in the incident himself.

From the press conference in Su Ning to the long blog post by Sherlock Holmes last night that was suddenly deleted after a deep investigation, the reputation of the former "poor little one" Sang Le has been declining.

Everyone knows that Sang Le has no background, which was also his most advantageous point in attracting large-scale sympathy before. But now Langbo has deleted the negative material completely. Even afterwards, someone wanted to repost the long picture that had been saved, but it disappeared as soon as they refreshed it. It seems that the system automatically detected keywords and forcibly blocked it, intending to force this matter within the fan circle and prevent the negative material from spreading.

How could a trainee with no background and who hasn't debuted yet be treated like this? Even many first-tier celebrities can't do this, and they may not even be able to afford it even if they have money.

What Su Ning had realized before, naturally everyone could also realize - Sang Le was not as lonely and helpless as he appeared to be. Who was the person behind him?

Just at this time, the revelation of Shen Huai's scandal came out of nowhere, instantly answering this question.

Shen Huai's team has always responded quickly. When such a big thing happened this time, the fan club came out immediately to explain that during the visit, Sang Le was emotional because of recent events, and Shen Huai could only comfort him helplessly. The video was edited and suspected of being misleading, and a lawyer's letter was sent to the paparazzi, and then the video was suddenly deleted. It can be said to be a thundering measure.

This method might have been able to scare people in the past, but it is useless now. When combined with the forced deletion, people can't help but think about it.

"You're still innocent even after being in such a mess? It's so funny. Do you think we're all fools?"

"Nowadays, lawyers' letters from celebrities are just a piece of waste paper. There must be people who don't know this."

"Since it's all a misunderstanding, why are you so excited?"

"Sang Le deleted it, and you deleted it too. The methods are exactly the same. Who would believe you if you said that there is no relationship between the two of you?"

For a while, the discussion was heated. Even a person with such a large traffic as Shen Huai still had many female fans, and many people collapsed and quit being his fans on the spot.

This matter seemed to have nothing to do with Su Ning, but as the discussion continued, it became related to him everywhere.

In the beginning, not many people supported him, after all, all his fans had run away. At most, some people said, "It's really wrong to blame him for the fall." But there were also many people who complained that "everyone is a villain." After all, Su Ning had admitted to things like snatching parts and bullying others at the press conference.

But I don’t know who in the circle saw the excitement and expressed his feelings in his personal blog in the middle of the night.

"Well, I'm not saying that the victim is to blame, but now I feel that someone has their reasons for doing those bullying things. Who can stand watching their fiancé cheating on them?

If I am not bullying, I went up directly to the scum man and the third. No wonder he couldn't help but speak at the press conference a few days ago.

This private blog originally only had a few dozen fans, and it didn't have a big name. When I posted it, I was just expressing my feelings without thinking too much. It might have been just an emo post late at night, with at most a keyword of a press conference. I didn't expect that the eagle-eyed fans would find this post, take a screenshot, and then forward it.

"Friends, I just wanted to read what Su Ning said at the press conference, and then after searching, I saw this post in the square, which I thought was a bit strange,"

"Yeah, that doesn't look right to me either. Press conference? There haven't been many press conferences in recent days."

"Wait, combined with the keywords here, the more I read it, the more strange it seems. I specifically looked through the original blog. It looks like a small account, but the photos it posted don't look like those of an ordinary family. Look at this one, it seems like half of the company logo was captured."

"I went to see it, too. Her nails look familiar. Could it be the internet celebrity Chu Mi Jiang from a certain book? You see, Mi Jiang's family is really in the entertainment industry. They are a major shareholder of Summit Pictures. They are from the industry."

Although the account was immediately cancelled and run away after discovering the problem, the screenshots cannot escape.

After being forwarded many times, more and more people started discussing it. Some people had already guessed the original owner, and in the early morning, someone actually made a statement.

"It has come to this, I think there is nothing to hide. Many people in the circle know about the engagement between the Shen and Su families. I thought they would get married this year. Su Ning is indeed an uneducated rich second-generation, but his feelings for Shen Huai are beyond doubt. Moreover, when old President Su was around, he treated Shen Huai closer than his own son because of his relationship with the Shen family. The role in his first movie was obtained by old President Su with great effort. At that time, I didn't hear him say how unwilling he was. Now seeing someone do such a thing just because his father died, I can't stand it."

Later, someone in the industry forwarded this statement, but said nothing, as if it was a tacit agreement.

Su Ning's reputation was average, but his father's connections were indeed good, which attracted several people to speak up for him at this critical moment.

This matter exploded even more.

Even though Langbo had been trying to suppress the heat the entire night, the incident had already gradually spread to other platforms and could not be suppressed at all. It was even more explosive than the last time Su Ning caused public outrage.

Su Ning rarely checks social media when he has something important to do, and he was busy early in the morning and had not had time to check. Now, when he opened several major platforms and refreshed, he saw that his name appeared on the hot search again.

Of course, there has been a two-pole reversal compared to the beginning.

"If you look at it this way, Su Ning is really miserable. He is her legitimate fiancé, so it's only natural for him to dislike a mistress."

"The press conference was probably held to save the faces of both parties. They didn't mention this incident, nor did they say anything about Shen Huai. They even apologized to Sang Le. Damn, they held such a big event to apologize to a mistress. How dare these two people."

"Now it seems that Shen Huai spoke to Su Ning that day just to stir up trouble. It looked like the Holy Father was speaking, but the actual result was to make people feel more sorry for Sang Le. Did he do it on purpose?"

"I've always felt that Shen Huai wasn't a good person, but I didn't expect him to be so malicious. Now he's very good at deleting posts for Sang Le. At that time, he just pretended to suppress the trending searches that scolded Su Ning, but in fact, he didn't move at all and it stayed up all the time."

"But Su Ning has already withdrawn from the competition, alas..."

"According to this logic, Sang Le should also withdraw from the competition. Haha, I think he is reluctant to do so. Shen's Films has issued three messages in a row to clarify the so-called 'rumors'. They are probably trying to whitewash the situation and pretend nothing happened once the heat has passed."

"Steamed goose heart.jpg"

"I've been a fan of Shen Huai for five years. I'm going to prove it myself. I'm disgusted. I'm going to stop being a fan and throw the garbage can around me."

After reading it, Su Ning seemed to have some understanding.

No wonder Zhou Chunqing had a weird look on his face this morning, and the way he hesitated to speak was also weird. Moreover, some staff members looked at him strangely when he came in today.

It was a complex look that was a mixture of sympathy, pity, and curiosity, as if all the troubles he had caused to the program crew before were really in the past and he really couldn't blame himself anymore.

At this point, everything that needed to be clarified has indeed been clarified, and the emergence of the replacement match has largely made up for the losses of the program team, and has instead pushed up the popularity once again. Compared to Sang Le, who sold his character so badly that it collapsed, Su Ning's character as a cuckold seems to be very stable at the moment.

The public's anger and sympathy often appear at the same time. Su Ning was cheated on, and everyone knows that he was cheated on. It would be a tragedy if it were to be made public.

"Oh, I ate melons all night and almost didn't sleep," Liang Xiaoliang was excited when he mentioned this matter, and poked him with his elbow, "They Shen's Films have always been good at public relations, but now they can't do anything even if they delete posts crazily. Besides, not all platforms will buy into their accounts. Just wait, this matter is not over yet."

Su Ning: ...

The person involved didn't quite understand.

Liang Xiaoliang, with dark circles under his eyes, came closer and asked in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, it was you who did it, right? Su Ning, I can tell from the first glance that you are not someone who will swallow your anger. This set of movements is so well arranged. This is really..." Yan Shan heard

In Mr. Liang's opinion, this move was too ruthless, quick and accurate. Things had developed to this point and there was no solution. The impact on Shen Huai and Sang Le was immeasurable. If it was not deleted, it would be allowed to ferment. If it was deleted, it would be like trying to cover up the truth. It was almost a vicious cycle.

There is no point in doing anything, because that is indeed the fact - Sang Le fell down, the engagement was real, and the intimacy between the two was real. There is no way to explain it.

The only thing that is slightly different from what most people understand is that at the moment Su Ning actually doesn't really care about Shen Huai's cheating.

After reading it, he felt a little bit amused and then nothing happened. However, no one would believe him even if he told others about it.

"It's not me," Su Ning explained immediately, telling the truth, "I went to bed on time last night. These things have nothing to do with me. This is completely a coincidence..."

He hadn't finished his words when he saw Liang Xiaoliang's expression that said "keep pretending" and he shut up.

"I underestimated you," Liang Xiaoliang exclaimed in amazement, "Young President Su, it turns out you still showed some mercy to me."

He doesn't want to be an enemy of such a person.

Su Ning: ...

Even the name has changed, right?

He had nothing to say to Liang Xiaoliang. He didn't believe anything he said anyway. With a speechless expression, he went to Chen Yuan to confirm today's schedule. Director Chen actually knew about this. She looked at him with a bit of love and regret. She patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Don't worry. Find a good person next time."

Su Ning: ...

He gave up explaining.

After finishing this round, I thought it would be better for me to go back and stay with Li Chu, so I turned around in a hurry. While I was in the corridor, I saw a figure walking out of the dressing room door.

He recognized it at a glance; it was Shen Huai.

As expected of someone who has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he has a strong psychological endurance. Despite the chaos outside, it is said that he still participated in the recording as a mentor today and did not ask for leave from the program crew.

He is engaged but not married. No matter how big the quarrel is, it is still within the scope of scandal. The program team cannot kick him out. Moreover, Shen Huai can only maintain the status quo to maintain stability to the greatest extent at this moment. Otherwise, if he is really affected by this, it will only collapse faster.

But it was very strange that he appeared in Li Chu's dressing room.

Su Ning ran a few steps with a frown on his face, but his expression became even uglier once he entered.

This separated dressing room was the size of a pigeon cage and was in a mess. The cosmetics on the small table were all over the place, as if someone had pushed it in anger. The front of Li Chu's clothes was also wrinkled, as if someone had pulled it over with force.

When Su Ning came in, he was still picking up the spilled cosmetics on the ground with his head down. He seemed startled when he saw someone coming in, and only felt relieved when he saw it was Su Ning.

"I'm sorry, Master, this foundation broke accidentally," Li Chu whispered, "I didn't mean to do that."

"Are you okay? Where's the makeup artist? Where's Zhou Chunqing?" Su Ning asked him, "Who came over just now?"

Li Chu explained, "I'm fine. When the makeup artist arrived, someone came over and said someone from the program team called her, so she left for a while. When I took the time to check my costume, I found that an accessory had fallen off. It must have fallen on the car. My sister went to help look for it and came back a while later."

Of course it's not that simple.

In fact, he saw that the person who asked the makeup artist to leave was not right, so he deliberately sent Zhou Chunqing away. Sure enough, not long after, someone came to his door.

The scandal had been going on for a whole night, and Shen Huai was sure to come and call for an explanation. He knew it and didn't want his sister to see it. Fortunately, the young master was not at home, so he could take this opportunity to make things clear.

"Don't cover it up. I just saw Shen Huai go out. He bullied you, didn't he?" Su Ning helped him pick up the pieces and stopped him from touching the broken pieces of the foundation bottle with his hands. "It must be the incident on the hot search yesterday that implicated you, you lunatic."

"You've been wronged. I was inconsiderate. I should have found a few more people to guard here."

From Su Ning's perspective, Li Chu had nothing to do with this matter. It should be that Shen Huai wanted to vent his anger on him, and when he came over he didn't find anyone, so he transferred his anger to Li Chu.

Li Chu looked up at him and smiled faintly: "How can you blame the young master for this?"

Sometimes he felt that Su Ning was very smart, and sometimes he thought he was a little silly. At this moment, he did not doubt himself, but was comforting others.

That's great.

I don't know how much better he is than the incompetent and furious Shen Huai.

Shen Huai came to him just now to call him to task, and he was not stupid. He guessed that those photos and videos were taken by the paparazzi at Li Chu's request, so as soon as he came in, he grabbed Li Chu's clothes and almost lifted him over.

"You want to die, don't you? How much did you record? How much do you have in your hands? Do you think I don't have any evidence against you? The video of Diao Chun Jiang is still in my hands! Your sister is also in my hands!"

He suspected that Li Chu had recorded all the conversations and kept them. He was not prepared before because he thought Li Chu would not dare to do so.

But Li Chusi was not panicked.

He didn't resist when he was roughly pulled over, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face.

"You're here at last."

"Don't scare me. How could you just post the video or other pictures of Diao Chunjiang? After all, you're done if it involves Jiang Chenfeng," Li Chu looked at him. "Even if you cover up Jiang Chenfeng and only release me to block my path, how can such a small matter of a small person like me attract any attention? It can't even steal your attention right now, Shen Da Ying Di."

Shen Huai: ...

He was panting and unable to speak, so Li Chu gently pressed down his hand that was pulling his collar.

"You'd better not use my sister's affairs to threaten me."

"Shen Huai, if you still think you can do something to me, then I will continue to expose the fact that you and I conspired to use Su Ning and Jiang Chenfeng." His voice gradually became colder. "I am no longer the person who no one listens to me. You are no longer the perfect actor Shen who is impenetrable."

"You still need this celebrity status, don't you?"

Shen Huai: "You dare!"

"What am I afraid of?" Li Chu looked at him, his eyes suddenly changed, "What happened last night was to tell you, to remind you, don't think I can't do it, I can do anything."

He was obviously much shorter than him, but the moment he said this and looked at him, Shen Huai was almost frightened by the sharpness in his eyes, and the Lord God took a step back.

"Don't push me, don't provoke me, stay away from the young master."

"Shen Huai, if you want to block my path, then we will both die together."
