Chapter 83 Zhou Jinghan
Zhou Jing obviously had no idea what he was about to experience. In order not to be disturbed in his next actions, he specifically muted his phone.
Perhaps he still remembered that he was a public figure, so before he came, he specially disguised himself, wearing a black suit, a hat, a mask, and other necessary things. In the middle of the night, he also wore sunglasses. He was very confident that even if he walked in front of Ms. Zhu Yan, she might not recognize him as his son.
Soon Zhou Jing arrived at the agreed place, but he looked left and right and there was no one there. He frowned, seriously suspecting that he had been tricked.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message to the other party: Where are you?
Soon, the other party's message popped up.
——Look across.
Zhou Jing subconsciously leaned over and looked at the opposite side. Just when he was about to ask if there was someone there, he saw a woman with long hair and dressed in white. A gust of wind blew by, and her long hair was blown up slightly, which also made Zhou Jing shiver.
Zhou Jing swallowed his saliva. It wasn't that he was timid. It was normal for him to be afraid when he saw such a person in the middle of the night.
Just when Zhou Jing wanted to run, the woman suddenly walked over quickly and walked under the street light, which illuminated the shadow of her feet.
The woman asked, "Are you 'Zhou Jing himself'?"
The other party called Zhou Jing's nickname. He chose this name deliberately, thinking that no one would think that this was really his real account.
Hearing the other party calling out his nickname, Zhou Jing finally reacted. Oh my god, the one who challenged him to a fight was actually the other party, a girl!
Zhou Jing was shocked, staring at the other person with eyes wide open in disbelief: "No, you are a girl, how dare you swear so badly on the Internet?!"
The other party greeted his entire family, otherwise Zhou Jing would not have been so angry and lost his mind and wanted to have a "real-life confrontation" with the other party.
Of course, maybe Zhou Jing wasn't rational at all.
How could the girl know what "she" was cursing about? She just came over as requested and cooperated with the paparazzi in the corner to take a few photos.
That’s right, even though there seems to be no one around, there are actually paparazzi hiding in the cars nearby and in the green belt not far away.
The girl had headphones on her ears, and one of the voices came from inside: "You're too far away, come closer."
Hearing this, the girl walked towards Zhou Jing again, but unexpectedly, she walked a little closer and Zhou Jing took a step back.
The girl came a little closer and Zhou Jing took another step back.
The girl approached and Zhou Jing stepped back.
girl:"……"
She looked at Zhou Jing with eyes that seemed to be about to burst into anger. She was speechless. Wouldn’t it be better for her to cooperate with him and let him go home and have a rest after taking the photos?
I thought I had gotten a great deal today and could earn a few hundred dollars just by taking a few photos, but it turned out that money is not that easy to make.
If they were not afraid of being discovered by Zhou Jing, the girls would want to say two words to the person who commands them: Give me more money!
As the atmosphere became tense, another voice came from the earphone: "The other party has no brains. Just do as I say and provoke him a few times."
Here, Zhou Jing was still struggling. Otherwise, just let it go. The other party’s swearing was quite rude, but he couldn’t really hit a girl, right?
I was thinking that next time I encounter this kind of situation, I will call him sister, so that I can deal with it no matter whether it is a man or a woman.
Then the girl said, "I said, weren't you crazy online? You even said you wanted to meet up, but now you're so scared. If you knew it would be like this, you should have just given up. You're wasting my time."
"You're the one who's scared! If I hadn't seen that you're a woman..., do you think I'm afraid of you?!" Zhou Jingqi's face turned red. This man's words were so infuriating.
"Aren't you afraid to stay so far away? If you have the guts, come closer and talk. You're not really scared, are you?" the girl continued to provoke him.
Zhou Jing: "I'm afraid of you!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately walked closer, then stopped in front of the girl. Looking at the girl who was not even as tall as his chin, he smiled smugly: "Why, now that you know I'm not afraid..."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. Zhou Jing turned around and saw the agent Brother Liu running towards him with a dark face. He didn't know what the other party said, and Zhou Jing didn't hear clearly.
He didn't expect Brother Liu to find this place. His originally smug expression instantly turned into a guilty look: "Brother Liu, why are you here?"
Brother Liu was not in the mood to talk to him too much. The assistants he brought with him came back in a hurry, all with dejected looks on their faces, and shook their heads at Brother Liu.
Hearing this, Brother Liu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down to avoid getting angry to death.
But who can be happy after being tortured like this in the middle of the night? Brother Liu endured it for a long time, but he couldn't help but scolded: "Humph! Come on, can't you just sleep peacefully in the middle of the night? Have you forgotten what you do? Humph, can you use your brain a little more when doing things?"
Zhou Jing was scolded and felt a little unconvinced: "Brother Liu, you can't be so cruel, can you? I didn't do anything. Didn't I just make an appointment to fight with someone? I'm fine now, nothing happened..."
As he said that, he turned around and wanted the girl to prove to him that he hadn't done anything. But when he turned around, he found that the girl was nowhere to be found.
Zhou Jing was confused: "Where is he? He was here just now."
"Humph, he ran away a long time ago," Brother Liu saw Zhou Jing still looking unconcerned, and was so angry that he wanted to grab him by the collar and yell at him: "You fell into someone's trap, do you know that?"
There was clear stupidity in Zhou Jing's eyes: "?" What trap?
On the way back, Zhou Jing was stunned for a long time after hearing what Liu said. Finally, he said, "I said she is a girl, it is impossible for her to curse so badly."
Brother Liu: “…” Is this the fucking point?
He is really tired now, and feels sad that the emperor is not anxious but the eunuch is.
Brother Liu exhaled and told him the seriousness of the problem: "You know that being in the idol industry, falling in love is a taboo. Those people may have taken photos just now. If they really expose the truth, do you know what it means? Humph, unless there is a miracle, your career will be ruined!"
Zhou Jing's expression finally became serious, but he still naively retorted: "But I'm not in love."
Brother Liu laughed when he heard this. It was unclear whether he was mocking Zhou Jing's naivety. "Humph, does it matter whether you are in a relationship or not? What matters is that those who framed you want others to think that you are in a relationship. What matters is that netizens believe the "truth" with photos. In fact, it's good to say that you are in a relationship, at least you are not breaking the law. If others say that you are having sex, the consequences will be more serious!"
"But just based on those photos? I didn't have any contact with the other party at all." Zhou Jing was completely shocked and even doubted his life.
"Do you know what misalignment means?" Brother Liu answered Zhou Jing's question directly.
Brother Liu continued, "Humph, although I'm not a very powerful agent, I still know some things about the entertainment industry. Humph, there are all kinds of fabricated news based on just one photo. The key point is not whether anyone doubts it, but whether anyone believes it. Do you understand?"
On the way back to the hotel, Zhou Jing, who was originally unconvinced, had become listless.
He followed Brother Liu nervously, apologizing repeatedly: "Brother Liu, I'm sorry, I should have listened to you before."
It was rare for Zhou Jing to be so well-behaved. He was so rebellious before. After all, he had never experienced any severe beatings. This contrast made Brother Liu very happy.
But he couldn't show his happiness on the surface. Brother Liu looked at Zhou Jing with a look of dismay: "Humph, what's the point of you saying this now? Remember this lesson in the future, okay?"
Zhou Jing nodded obediently: "I understand. What should we do now? Is there any way to remedy the situation?"
Brother Liu certainly didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Jing. After all, the futures of the agent and the artist were largely linked to each other, so he said seriously that he would seriously think of a way to make amends.
By this time, although it was already early in the morning, no one could fall asleep.
Qi Nian heard the noise outside and knew that Zhou Jing and the others had returned. He tiptoed out and went to Zhou Jing's suite.
Zhou Jing was so touched when he saw Qi Nian came to care about him: "You are indeed my best friend! But I may not be a star in the future. Although I didn't like this line of work, it still makes me sad to end it like this."
Qi Nian's mouth twitched, and he comforted him: "It's not that serious."
Brother Liu, who was seriously trying to find a solution, was very angry and said with a dark face: "Keep your voice down!"
Zhou Jing lowered his voice and shared his thoughts with Qi Nian: "Actually, I feel that I can't achieve much in the celebrity industry. I feel that I may be a small celebrity for the rest of my life."
Zhou Jing is a little famous now, but he is still far from the top stars. Moreover, he is simple-minded and has no brains, so he is not suitable for the entertainment industry.
"No matter whether you want to stay in the entertainment industry in the future or not, at least you can't quit in this way." Qi Nian analyzed it with him seriously.
If he really wants to quit the circle like this, Zhou Jing will basically be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Zhou Jing nodded immediately after hearing this: "You are right, we can't let them succeed."
After he finished speaking, he went to look at Brother Liu cautiously again.
The latter glanced at him unhappily and comforted himself that although Zhou Jing had many shortcomings and liked to act on his own, he was a simple-minded person and at least he wouldn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back one day.
After all, many stars have stabbed their former agents in the back just to change their agents after becoming famous. Thinking of this, Brother Liu finally felt comforted.
He pulled himself together and said, "I'll contact the people I know and see if I can find a way to talk to those paparazzi."
Qi Nian was listening on the side, but he was not very optimistic about Brother Liu's method. Brother Liu certainly had some connections, but he was not a leader who could decide other people's future. The other party had spent so much effort to set up the trap, how could they so easily agree to Brother Liu giving up this opportunity?
But Brother Liu is a professional agent after all, maybe there is a way? Qi Nian thought positively.
However, thinking positively does not always lead to good results. After a while, Brother Liu hung up the phone with a unhappy look on his face, and it seemed that he had no intention of talking about it.
Brother Liu wiped his face and said, "The other party is determined to get Zhou Jing."
Zhou Jing comforted Brother Liu after hearing this: "Brother Liu, I know you have tried your best. Thank you. This matter is my fault."
Seeing the atmosphere becoming gloomy and Brother Liu looking even more worried, Qi Nian couldn't help but raise his hand: "Well... they haven't made a move yet, maybe the situation isn't that bad?"
"You're right. I'll think of other ways." It can be seen that Brother Liu is still a little lacking as a broker. There must be a reason why he is still not a famous broker even in his middle age.
Qi Nian also racked his brains to think of a solution. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Zhou Jing: "Zhou Jing, your small account that fights against haters has never posted any bad comments, right?"
Zhou Jing didn't know why he asked that, but he still answered honestly in a low voice: "Nothing much, just complaining about Liu Ge and the show crew on it."
Qi Nian didn't know how he complained, and said he wanted to see what he had posted.
Not to mention, Zhou Jing wasn't completely brainless. At least when he was complaining on his second account, he even knew to give these people aliases.
Uh...but if it's someone he knows, he can tell at a glance who he is complaining about.
But it's not a big deal.
So Qi Nian expressed his thoughts.
"You mean, try to let netizens 'accidentally' discover Zhou Jing's second account?" Brother Liu's eyes changed, and he had to say that it was indeed a good idea.
If Zhou Jing's trumpet was discovered, wouldn't his appointment to fight with the other party also be discovered?
But the fight was at most just a small black spot, because from the comments of both sides it can be seen that it was basically the black fans who were scolding Zhou Jing, while Zhou Jing did not make any extreme remarks. Even if it was seen by netizens, it is unlikely that they would be too harsh on him.
Moreover, since it is a "fight" it cannot be a "date". No matter how many photos the other party sends, no netizens will believe that it is a "date".
Although Brother Liu was not very good at dealing with risks as a broker, he still had some professionalism. He immediately had a general idea in his mind, and he immediately asked Zhou Jing to post a complaint on Weibo using his secondary account.
The gist is: I didn’t expect that the person he had a fight with was actually a girl balabala…
After Zhou Jing posted on Weibo, he was still a little hesitant: "Do I really have to do this? Then my cool and aloof personality will be completely ruined!"
As soon as Zhou Jing debuted, his information was made public. Everyone knew that his mother was the famous director Zhu Yan, so Zhou Jing has always been portrayed as a cool and noble young man.
On his secondary Weibo account, he posts three or four complaints a day on average, surfs the Internet intensively, and engages in crazy confrontations with haters, which will definitely bring down his cool and aloof personality.
But Brother Liu obviously couldn't care less. He glared at Zhou Jing and said, "At this point, you're still concerned about your image? Hurry up and get out of the circle!"
After hearing this, Zhou Jing didn't dare to say anything.
Brother Liu was really grateful to Qi Nian, but now was not the time to say that. Before leaving, he said to Zhou Jing, "You made the right friend!"
Zhou Jing was still very proud: "That's it!"
Brother Liu was speechless. He thought that the boy was still not anxious enough!
Zhou Jing really thought Qi Nian was great. If Qi Nian hadn’t gone back to his room to rest right after he gave his suggestion, he would have really wanted to sing “Friends Walk Together For A Lifetime” for him on the spot.
On the other side, Qi Nian sneezed. He rubbed his nose in confusion, then quickly curled himself up in the comfortable quilt and closed his eyes.
I’m so sleepy, go to sleep!
When he woke up again, Qi Nian opened his phone and checked Weibo.
Apart from anything else, Brother Liu is quite efficient. Just last night, a netizen "accidentally" found out that one of Zhou Jing's fans, "Zhou Jing himself", was actually Zhou Jing himself.
Uh...it sounds a bit confusing, but everyone can understand it.
The other party also presented evidence, for example, comparing Zhou Jing's itinerary information with the IP address of the small account, which was completely consistent.
There was even a time when Zhou Jing was in City A in the morning and City H in the afternoon. The IP address of this small account was also City A in the morning and City H in the afternoon.
Moreover, this small account also posted a photo one day. The picture in the photo looked very similar to the background picture of Zhou Jing's selfie.
The content posted by this netizen who transformed himself into Sherlock Holmes instantly aroused everyone's interest. If people just thought it was fun at first and took a casual look, then after reading the content posted by Zhou Jing's second account, they really found it interesting.
In order to prevent others from knowing who he was complaining about, Zhou Jing gave the other party a nickname and explained the origin of the nickname on Weibo.
For example, when someone gets angry, he likes to "humph" at others, so Zhou Jing calls him Brother Hum.
As for the other one, he always laughed “Hahaha” in front of Zhou Jing, but secretly complained to Brother Heng behind his back. Zhou Jing called him Xiaoha.
The two are collectively known as "the two generals Heng and Ha".
Finally, netizens confirmed from various sources that Brother Heng was Zhou Jing’s agent Brother Liu, and Xiao Ha was Zhou Jing’s assistant.
The related complaints are even more interesting, such as the Weibo posts posted on one day: - Today, Brother Heng talked nonstop again and gave me a series of lectures, but I didn't hear what he was saying at all, hahaha. I kept counting how many times he hummed, and finally got the data of 23 times. You are worthy of your name, Brother Heng!
——Xiao Ha is here again. Every time Heng Ge finishes teaching me a lesson, Xiao Ha will come over to say nice things, telling me that Heng Ge did it for me and so on. Tsk, don’t think I don’t know, one of them plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop. Tsk, but it’s a coincidence that Xiao Hao also sang 23 times today. Today is another day to see Heng Ha CP.
Since these remarks are so interesting and there hasn't been any big news recently, netizens with nothing to do have formed a group to visit Zhou Jing's Weibo.
Since it was already midnight, some fans anxiously reminded Zhou Jing not to sleep, as he had been exposed!
Zhou Jing, who hadn't slept at all and was checking Weibo with another account, saw that the comments below were all making fun of him, saying that it must be very hard for him to pretend to be aloof and asked him to stop pretending. There were so many interesting comments, and he smiled tiredly.
Zhou Jing now really wanted to appear in front of these people and tell them: Haha, you didn't expect it, did you? I didn't sleep at all!
Who can sleep like this?
When netizens found the comments about Zhou Jing and others making plans for a fight, they burst out laughing.
He also said that his home was nearby and if he had known earlier he would not have gone to bed so early so that he could have seen the excitement.
When Zhou Jing’s fans heard that their image as a steaming chef had collapsed, they were so scared that they rushed to Weibo. After reading the content clearly, they said: Uh... they didn’t know what to say for a moment.
At first they tried hard to explain for Zhou Jing, saying "This must be a vicious business war, someone must have deliberately framed Zhou Jing, this is not Zhou Jing's smurf account at all."
However, after explaining it for a while, no one listened. Some people who just wanted to have fun even took screenshots of their comments and said: This is the first time I see fans following the main character so closely. I don’t think they are very smart. Hahaha…
Fans: I am so angry and helpless...
When they realized that although people were laughing at him, there was no negative comment, and some people even liked to watch the fun and followed Zhou Jing on Weibo.
Yes, Zhou Jing’s Weibo followers actually increased!
Zhou Jing's fans were shocked, confused, and then relieved.
As expected, the cool and noble young man is no longer popular nowadays. This kind of brainless fool seems to be more popular.
In that case... is it okay for them to lie down?
If Zhou Ling knew what they were thinking, she would definitely shake their collars and yell, "Don't lie down, don't lie down! I have worked so hard to maintain my image!"
An hour later, Zhou Jing followed Liu Ge's instructions and logged out of Weibo.
After writing off his dark history, Zhou Jing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Brother Liu had a change of heart and couldn't bear to see him being laughed at.
Then, he found out he was wrong, because after netizens found out he had deactivated his Weibo account… they became even more excited.
Why did he cancel it at this time instead of earlier? He must be guilty. This account must be Zhou Jing's secondary account!
Netizens said: Fortunately, I was smart and took screenshots of all the Weibo content. It’s useless even if I log out.
Zhou Jing: “…”
Since it was morning, most people were awake and there were more people watching, so Zhou Jing was pushed to the top of the hot searches.
Moreover, the content of the hot search is simply too ridiculous, it is called #周景傻傻#.
Zhou Jing looked at the people who were obviously just watching the show, and then paid attention to his netizens. For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
No matter how complicated his emotions are now, Brother Liu is quite happy anyway: "Haha, I didn't expect that your personality is actually very charming. This time, you have gained a lot of popularity. It can be considered a blessing in disguise!"
Brother Liu was so happy that he didn't care about Zhou Jing's complaints about him. But it was obvious that he still cared about it because he deliberately avoided making a "humph" when he spoke.
Brother Liu looked at Zhou Jing who was looking depressed, and didn't care about his mood. After all, he had to teach this guy a lesson. He continued, "By the way, I'm sorry for your friend this time. Don't forget to thank him."
Zhou Jing: “…” cried.
On the other hand, several people who had already prepared a large number of notices and several misplaced pictures, ready to beat Zhou Jing to the point where he could not recover, immediately turned unhappy when they saw the situation on Weibo.
"What happened? Our plan was exposed. How could Zhou Jing, a fool, guess it?" One of them said in a bad tone.
"What's the point of you getting angry at me? Who knows what the situation is? This method is not like Zhou Jing's agent!" Another person also said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Maybe we are just unlucky. Zhou Jing's secondary account was exposed by someone."
The person who had obviously come up with the idea frowned and said, "Impossible."
"Don't worry about whether it's possible or not. What should we do now? Should we continue to publish? The brothers have worked so hard for so long. If we can't produce any news, everyone will feel uncomfortable."
The person who came up with the idea naturally understood what he meant, and angrily kicked the stool at his feet: "What the hell, do you think anyone will believe it if you post it? Maybe netizens will find out that someone is deliberately messing with Zhou Jing, and then it will be a loss."
Don't think that netizens are so easy to fool. There are people from all walks of life here, and they are not fools. In addition, they have Zhou Jing's public relations team to guide them. Maybe when they fail to frame Zhou Jing, their identities will be exposed instead.
After the person who came up with the idea finished speaking, he glanced at the person next to him and saw that the person looked unhappy. He then said, "Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain. I've said that even if this doesn't work out, I will compensate you."
After all, these paparazzi have worked so hard for so long, and now they have gained nothing, so they must be in a bad mood.
He will definitely have to bleed more and appease the paparazzi, otherwise the next time he wants to target someone, these paparazzi will not be so cooperative.
After everyone left with satisfaction, he became furious and started smashing things around the room.
While smashing, he thought viciously: Zhou Jing was lucky this time, next time, he won't let him off so easily.
If Qi Nian heard what he was thinking at the moment, he would definitely roll his eyes and then couldn't help but complain: Uh... you're so generous, do others have to thank you? What do you mean by letting Zhou Jing go? It's obviously you who couldn't mess with him, so you had to give up, okay?
