"About the phone call over there"
Su Mu's thin lips parted slightly, his icy voice reaching Zhang Heng's ears, sending a chill down his spine. So, he had been quite obvious just now?
"Cough~" Zhang Heng tried to calm himself down with a cough, but obviously failed: "Well, a friend of mine in the media called me and said that someone paid for Wu Qian's marketing, all of which was in a positive light."
She bought it.
The four simple words, which should have been a question, came out of Su Mu's mouth and became a statement.
"yes."
Zhang Heng dared not lie, but he also couldn't understand what Mo Jingjing was trying to do.
Keeping the red flag flying high at home while colorful flags flutter outside
From ancient times to the present, no one has ever dared to tarnish Su Mu's reputation.
Sure enough, the atmosphere in the lounge changed subtly. Sensing the change, Zhang Heng didn't dare to message Cheng Meng to inquire about the situation under Su Mu's nose. He could only pray in his heart that the two women wouldn't do anything reckless.
"Brother Zhang, you should really change your habit of only saying half of what you mean. It's not good!"
Su Mu gently patted Zhang Heng's shoulder, then suddenly made a suggestion and turned to leave. Zhang Heng looked at the perfect back view that no one could find fault with, and he was puzzled.
What's going on?
He seemed to sense that Su Mu was angry, but at the same time, he felt that the other party wasn't completely angry.
In fact, at this moment, Zhang Heng and Si Nan were equally confused about Su Mu. Si Nan already felt that he didn't understand Su Mu very well, and after this phone call, he felt even more confused about Su Mu.
He thought that Mo Jingjing's betrayal would make him angry and furious, and he might even resort to drastic measures, but he just responded lightly and hung up the phone.
So, he was meddling in other people's business.
As Si Nan was thinking, his phone rang again. It was a call from his grandfather, and the constantly flashing caller ID on the screen completely pulled him back to reality.
When the call connected, Si Nan's lips curled into a bitter smile. It was truly laughable; he himself was almost a person who had lost his freedom, yet he still had the mind to worry about others...
"Dad, thank you for reminding me. Don't worry, I've always been a very punctual and trustworthy person. I'll naturally go back when it's time..."
...
In this interconnected society, public opinion can indeed spread very quickly. Within an hour, news about Ningxia was everywhere. In addition to the online trolls hired by Mo Jingjing, some celebrities who had been bullied by Ningxia before accidentally liked related Weibo posts.
Mo Jingjing's move was called "fighting fire with fire," subtly implying that Ningxia had a powerful backer but lacked real strength. She also took the opportunity to reheat some of Ningxia's past scandals, re-editing and reheating them for netizens to enjoy.
Although the methods weren't very sophisticated, as the saying goes, money spent on something will make a difference. Within just four or five hours, Ningxia lost tens of thousands of followers. Some stage mishaps, such as singing off-key and talking nonsense, also caused her popularity among the audience to decline.
In contrast, Wu Qian is already a minor internet celebrity with a certain fan base. These niche fans have a very obvious characteristic: once any news about this person is released, these fans will do everything in their power to promote the good news and refute the bad news.
For these people, being a fan is like raising a child. Watching their idols grow stronger day by day gives them a great sense of accomplishment and makes them very happy.
Mo Jingjing also seized on this point, digging a pit for Wu Qian while also building a stepping stone for herself.
She attracts more attention and retains those people with her talent and ability; this can also be considered part of her personal charm.
Without Wu Qian, who was an eyesore and arrogant, Mo Jingjing's training with her students this afternoon went exceptionally smoothly. Through the afternoon's activities, she gained a thorough understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the nine students in terms of voice and dance, and then divided them into groups.
The training officially ended at 6 PM.
"Dear new recruits, you've all worked so hard today. I've ordered dinner for you all, and it should arrive in about five minutes. You can have some water and rest while you wait."
Major General Mo always led his soldiers with a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and he always had a good grasp of the appropriate measure and scale.
Upon hearing this, cheers erupted behind her. This joyous and friendly scene was a stark contrast to what had happened that morning, demonstrating her extraordinary ability to unite people.
Through today's interactions, Mo Jingjing also realized that leading this group of passionate young people was actually the same as leading her warriors to fight against the Zerg, only the targets were different.
Since they were all newcomers to society, their minds were still relatively simple. After the cheers, some people cautiously approached Mo Jingjing and asked her their doubts and probing questions.
"Teacher Mo, can I have a chat with you? I have a question for you."
"Teacher Mo, I just wanted to ask something. Actually, we all want to ask why you gave Wu Qian a special segment and even fought for a stage for him. You're being way too good to him. The reason Wu Qian and Sun Yang fought this morning was because of Wu Qian...!"
"Ahem~" Mo Jingjing gave the outspoken student next to her a warning look, quietly reminding him that they were still filming, but that didn't stop her from telling the group of boys the truth: "Actually, after you spent time together in the dorms and having dinner together last night, you should know that Wu Qian's foundation is different from yours."
"A good teacher doesn't categorize everyone into the same group and manage them all. Instead, they should teach according to individual needs. Your foundations are different, and forcing you to manage and teach together will definitely lead to deviations. I am truly grateful for your trust, which lets me know that you have now genuinely accepted me as your teacher."
"I hope that no matter what the final result is, everyone who leaves my class will have grown and improved compared to before they came in. Even if it's just a little bit, that's a victory, that's winning, and in the teacher's eyes, that's being a champion! Even the smallest effort, multiplied by three hundred, will become a huge amount."
"In my eyes, success is not just about becoming a champion. Striving hard and sweating it out on the stage leading to your dreams is also a form of success. Even if you don't win in the end, this part will become the most precious experience in your life and accompany you throughout your life."
When Mo Jingjing spoke these words, her tone remained remarkably calm, as if she were recounting someone else's story. Her clear yet powerful voice stirred the hearts of the listeners, making the group of young men's emotions surge.
