Chapter 95



Tonight is the hottest day in Yan Jing's history.

The collaboration performance with Yan Chaochao at the New Year's Eve Gala quickly brought Yan Jing from obscurity to the forefront of countless people.

After seeing so many bad, off-tune, and crazy New Year's Eve performances, Yan Chaochao and Yan Jing's collaborative stage was simply a breath of fresh air, allowing countless audiences to feel the excitement and passion that New Year's Eve should have.

Unfortunately, Yan Jing had barely appeared since withdrawing from the talent show. As a result, new viewers had nothing new to look at and could only wait for the audience at the New Year's Eve party to share their pictures.

That evening, after the performance ended, many audience members showed the pictures in their hands.

Even after seeing so many pictures from the scene, countless netizens were shocked the moment they saw the picture released by Kong Xiaxuan.

[Oh my god! This is the first time I've felt how limited my vocabulary is...]

【!!! 】

[What the hell! What kind of fairy lady is this?!]

I clicked on the homepage and realized that the wife only posted this one picture... So is she a new wife who was attracted to the New Year's Eve stage?

[Wow! This photo is absolutely amazing! I quickly set it as my phone wallpaper!]

[555555 This light and shadow, this composition... I'm so impressed by my wife orz]

If I hadn't seen the New Year's Eve performance, I would have thought it was Yan Jing at his own concert... The atmosphere was truly amazing.

Looking at the ever-increasing number of comments in the background, Kong Xiaxuan, the owner of the "Limited Heartbeat" account, couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her mouth.

Looking at the comments below praising Yan Jing, Kong Xiaxuan couldn't help but echo them in her heart.

While editing the photos, Kong Xiaxuan kept wearing headphones and randomly playing Yan Jing's songs, each of which was Yan Jing's own composition.

Most of these songs weren't produced with anything fancy, and even some of his earlier compositions had very simple arrangements. Even so, Kong Xiaxuan could hear Yan Jing's dedication to production in almost every song.

Originally, Kong Xiaxuan was editing a photo of Yan Jing lifting the veil and walking out.

In that photo, Yan Jing's black clothes and the vermilion of the gauze curtain formed a strong color contrast, which naturally created tension in the picture.

However, when she accidentally played a song by Yan Jing and heard a line of lyrics, Kong Xiaxuan was stunned for a long time.

That song was the one Yan Jing performed on the first stage of a talent show. There was a line in the lyrics:

The dream stage will arrive one day.

However, neither Yan Jing, who was performing on the stage at the time, nor Kong Xiaxuan, who was in front of the screen, had expected that after singing the song, Yan Jing would be greeted not with flowers and applause, but with rumors and slander.

After hearing this line of lyrics, Kong Xiaxuan was silent for a moment, then clicked on another photo, which led to the picture released by "Limited Heartbeat".

Just as Kong Xiaxuan was looking at the screen and smiling, a special prompt sound coming from the backstage made Kong Xiaxuan stunned.

"Limited Heartbeat" is her new smurf account, and it has almost no followers, except...

When she clicked into the backstage and saw the prominent account among the new fans, Kong Xiaxuan opened her mouth wide.

Yan Jing followed "Limited Heartbeat"?!

***

Yan Jing paid attention to the action of "Limited Heartbeat", which made the picture released by "Limited Heartbeat" even more popular.

At the same time, the management team of NICE group was in a state of panic.

Yan Jing and the NICE group were now placed on both ends of the scale.

They had participated in the same talent show, on the same New Year's Eve stage, and even appeared one after the other. The more Yan Jing shined, the more the NICE group looked incomparable.

Even though not all members of the NICE group performed poorly on stage, Cheng Aotian's epic stage disaster was enough for public opinion to nail the NICE group to the pillar of shame.

Soon, the NICE group's management team received instructions -

Control public opinion as soon as possible.

When the agency team took action, before netizens realized that something was wrong, Yan Xixi had already received the news.

Ever since Yan Chaochao and Yan Jing confirmed their collaboration on stage, Yan Xixi had anticipated what might happen and sent a public relations team to keep a 24-hour eye on the actions of the company and agency team behind Cheng Aotian.

After receiving the message, Yan Xixi raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the familiar marketing accounts jumping up and down, and sneered softly.

She still remembered that during the several incidents of spreading rumors and slandering Yan Chaozhao, these marketing accounts were at the forefront...

Thinking of this, Yan Xixi narrowed her eyes and gave instructions to the PR team: "Counter the other party's public opinion actions and increase the promotion of the cooperative stage."

Soon, the NICE group's management team, who had thought they had a sure win, discovered to their horror that their usual means of public opinion didn't even make a splash.

The office soon became a mess.

"The Starlight Blog's operations team refused to remove the negative trending searches about NICE Group and Cheng Aotian..."

Gong Ling frowned: "What's the reason?"

"They said..." The operator swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty, "Someone offered a much higher price than us to get this entry on the trending search list."

Upon hearing the news, Gong Ling took a deep breath and had a bad feeling in her heart.

Before this, they dared to use these methods to manipulate public opinion because they knew that Yan Jing was still just an individual business owner.

Although there are rumors that agents from other companies are contacting Yan Jing, at least before the official signing, no company will do business at a loss.

The time difference before and after the signing is enough for Gong Ling to temporarily turn the situation around.

But Gong Ling didn't expect that Yan Jing, who looked like a soft persimmon, would actually hurt her hand when she pinched it.

"The marketing accounts we worked with returned the money and deleted the previous content..."

“We approached the bloggers who posted the cooperative stage, but they were unwilling to remove the content…”

The bad news came one after another, catching the NICE group's management team off guard.

At this moment, the operator saw the content online, swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke cautiously: "Sister Gong, there is another news..."

Gong Ling said impatiently: "Speak!"

"Some staff members have revealed online... that Cheng Aotian often acts like a big shot backstage, bullies ordinary staff members in the workplace, and treats them like his servants..."

The operator spoke with difficulty: "Now, the relevant entry has risen to the top of the trending search rankings."

Upon hearing this news, Gong Ling's eyes went dark.

***

As expected, Cheng Aotian finally suppressed the popularity of Yan Chaochao and Yan Jing's collaborative stage and rose to the first place in the hot search rankings.

But now he couldn't laugh at all.

"You're really capable, aren't you? I know you can be a bit irritable sometimes, but do you know that the staff you treat also have tempers? There are so many people backstage, who knows who might leak this kind of thing? I warned you before, but it seems you didn't listen at all?"

Gong Ling showed no mercy to Cheng Aotian on the phone and scolded him directly.

#Cheng Aotian workplace bullying#

Looking at this hot search, Cheng Aotian's eyes turned red and almost bled.

The comments below frightened him even more.

[Oh my god... Cheng Aotian acts so respectable in front of others, but I never thought he'd be this bad behind the scenes?]

I'm speechless. What did a worker do to offend anyone? This is just work. These people are your work partners, not your slaves... Does Mr. Cheng really think he's still living in a feudal society?

[Shit! I'm already furious just hearing the description!]

[Cheng Aotian? Isn't that the one who just broke his voice? Not only is his work ability poor, but his work attitude is also poor.]

After reading a few comments, Cheng Aotian's face became more and more ugly.

"How is it possible... Sister Gong, you know me... This must have been done by someone..."

In a panic, facing Gong Ling's anger, Cheng Aotian frantically began to make excuses for himself.

"Sister Gong, look, Yan Jing has so many trending searches tonight. Maybe he signed with some agency, so he wants to use me to build momentum for him..."

Gong Ling had thought about the possibility that Cheng Aotian mentioned, but at least for now, Gong Ling had not found out who had done it.

In this situation, there are only two possibilities.

The first one is that no one was targeting Cheng Aotian at all, it just happened that he hit the window of public opinion.

The second type is that the person who is manipulating the situation behind the scenes is not within their reach.

No matter which situation it is, it is not what Gong Ling wants to see.

Listening to Cheng Aotian's explanation, Gong Ling just sneered: "No matter if there is someone helping Yan Jing behind the scenes, you are the one who handed all these things to others with your own hands."

Thinking of the sharp comment from netizens in the comment section, "His work ability is not good, and his work attitude is not good either", Gong Ling took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, there was a determination in her eyes.

"I'll help you remove this trending search, but..."

Before Gong Ling could finish, Cheng Aotian spoke anxiously, "Don't worry, Sister Gong, it won't happen again."

Gong Ling didn't answer and hung up the phone directly.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, not wondering if there would be a next time, but...

She was no longer prepared to give Cheng Aotian another chance.

After so many public opinion storms, Cheng Aotian has turned from a cash cow into a jinx in Gong Ling's eyes.

If Cheng Aotian was the only artist under Gong Ling and they had signed a long-term contract, Gong Ling might have thought of a way to allow Cheng Aotian to continue his career.

But now, Gong Ling is leading the NICE boy band.

Gong Ling raised her eyes and looked at her planning whiteboard.

Since the investment in other members has already yielded initial results, and Cheng Aotian is clearly not worth continuing to invest in, why not...

The resources originally intended for Cheng Aotian were given to other members.

Gong Ling remembered a variety show invitation she had received before, pondered for a moment, and made a phone call.

"Xiao Bai, don't you have a twin sister? Get ready and go record a variety show..."

"The name is..."

"'Growing Up Together'."

***

After the New Year's Eve stage performance, it was soon time to record "Growing Up Together".

Because Shen Yunran had a well-known failure on the show, this time, after everyone gathered, the program team quickly announced the news of Shen Yunran's withdrawal from the show.

Even though the director used a series of words such as "regret" and "sorry", the audience in the live broadcast room had only one thought about this result -

Good retreat!

【Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, this is so great! Finally, I don’t have to watch Shen Bailian acting in a reality show! 】

[It's good that he quit the show. At least Brother Shen doesn't have to be involved in these messy things... He's about to take the college entrance examination. Sister Shen Yunran is really cruel...]

[Quitting the show is good, quitting the show is great, I'm jumping high into the air and doing a 360-degree Thomas spin to celebrate Shen Yunran's departure!]

After quickly announcing Shen Yunran's withdrawal from the show, the director took out another cue card while the other guests were caught off guard.

"Because some guests have withdrawn from the show, in order to ensure the show's watchability, we have specially invited a group of guests to fill in the slots..."

Upon hearing the news, the four groups of guests exchanged glances, and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Yan Xixi raised her brows slightly.

During this period, her attention was mainly focused on Cheng Aotian, and she didn't pay much attention to the activities of the "Growing Up Together" production team.

only……

In such a short time since Shen Yunran left the show, did the program team find a new guest?

While Yan Xixi was reasoning quickly in her mind, Yan Chaochao didn't care about the news.

For her, it doesn't matter who the guest who fills her place is.

Anyway...

She probably doesn't know him either.

When the guests looked confused, the audience in the live broadcast room was not very welcoming.

[Filling in? New guest?]

My requirements are already very low now... As long as they are not as outrageous as Shen Yunran's group, it's fine.

[Filling in at this time... the show is almost over, it's a bit awkward]

But no matter what the audience and guests think, the fact that the show will add a new group of guests is a foregone conclusion.

"Let us welcome our guests this time, Owen Bo and his twin sister, Owen Fei."

When Yan Xixi heard the three words "Owen Bo", she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

This is not...

Cheng Aotian’s teammate?
