Chapter 47
Half a month passed in a flash, the renovation project at home was nearing completion, and Ji Zhiqi's return date was approaching.
Song Shiyu was reviewing documents in the office when a familiar knock on the door was heard.
The person who came in was Xiao Cheng, the assistant who had returned from vacation. He had been a little frightened during the Song Zhi incident, so Song Shiyu specially approved a month-long vacation for him so that he could take his girlfriend abroad to relax.
"Mr. Song," Xiao Cheng said with a serious look on his face, "there are some rumors about you and Mr. Ji that require your immediate review." He handed over the tablet.
Song Shiyu took it, glanced at the screen, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
There are two entries on the hot search: #李柔资源咖#, #吉志齐入留酒店当时 根据当时感情#.
When I clicked on it, I saw that the former implied that Li Rou was able to get the important project because of her "special relationship" with him, and the accompanying picture was a tricky-angled photo taken in the lounge of the previous cocktail party.
The latter exposed photos of Ji Zhiqi rushing in and out of the ## hotel on the night of the 19th. Although his face was not photographed, his familiar figure and clothes were still recognized by fans, triggering a lot of speculation about his private life.
No. 19... Song Shiyu's pupils shrank slightly. That was the night when he was framed by Song Zhi and Ji Zhiqi came to rescue him.
The situation is urgent, and Ji Zhiqi certainly has no time to worry about disguise.
As for the one about Li Rou, the angle of the photo was so precise, and there were only three people in the lounge at the time - himself, Li Rou, and Wang Wan.
"Immediately contact Ji Zhiqi's agency and work together to handle the public opinion." Song Shiyu's voice was cold and decisive. "Regarding Ji Zhiqi's revelations, the company should issue a formal lawyer's letter, clearly stating that the rumormongers will be held legally accountable. At the same time, they can appropriately release the rumor that he was visiting a friend's studio outside the industry to discuss music collaboration that night, blurring the focus and turning a 'private meeting' into a 'work relationship'."
He paused, tapping the table with his fingertips before continuing his plan. "Regarding Li Rou, the key clarification is to dispel any improper association with me. First, release a statement on the official Weibo account, emphasizing that Li Rou won the project through a formal audition channel, relying on her own strength and professionalism. Second, release some behind-the-scenes footage of the audition or comments from the director's team to let the facts speak for themselves. Finally, send a direct warning letter to the marketing account that maliciously spreads rumors. Be firm and resolute. Be swift, accurate, and ruthless, and nip the rumors in the bud."
He raised his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing across them.
Xi Kaian, since you can't control the dog around you, don't blame me for disciplining it for you.
In the afternoon, Song Shi and Assistant Rang met with Wang Wan.
Wang Wan walked into the reception room with her arrogant look on her face. "Boss Song is a very busy man. What can I do for you?"
Song Shiyu opened a file bag at hand.
Under Wang Wan's puzzled gaze, he pinched the opening of the bag with his slender fingers and suddenly threw a stack of photos in front of her, scattering them all over the floor.
"Who gave you the courage to spread rumors about me?" Song Shiyu's voice was not loud, but it carried a terrifying pressure.
Wang Wan looked down and her face instantly turned as pale as paper - those photos clearly recorded her private meeting with Xi Kaian and their carefully protected child!
"If you don't want your child with Xi Kaian to be exposed to the public, then do as I say." Song Shiyu looked down at her with a cold gaze. "First, publicly apologize to Li Rou and admit that you maliciously spread rumors. Second, take the initiative to clarify that you deliberately took the misplaced photo. Third, quit the entertainment industry."
Wang Wan's body stiffened, her fingertips dug deep into her palms, trying to make a final struggle: "Mr. Song...what are you talking about? I...I don't understand. I don't have any children."
"Wang Wan," Song Shiyu interrupted her with a hint of impatience. "What methods did you use to get those roles and variety shows? Do I need to list them one by one? Because you are a woman, I will preserve your last bit of dignity. If you don't do as I say, I will no longer have any scruples. However, the things you care about most will eventually be destroyed by your own hands."
Wang Wan felt a chill running up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Her whole body was cold and even her teeth were chattering.
She said with difficulty: "Mr. Song... I can agree to the first two things, but quitting the entertainment industry... is absolutely not possible!" She has been struggling in the entertainment industry for so many years and has paid so much, how could she give up so easily?
"I've made it very clear." Song Shiyu stood up, adjusted his suit cuffs, and stopped looking at her. "Wang Wan, if you want to try my methods, you don't have to do as I say." After that, he took Xiao Cheng and left, leaving Wang Wan slumped in the chair, her face pale, and her former spirit gone.
After sitting there for a long time, Wang Wan finally took out her phone, trembling, and called Xi Kaian. Her voice was filled with tears: "Kai'an... the child, Song Shiyu knows about the child! He used this to threaten me and asked me to quit the circle!"
Xi Kai'an's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly changed, filled with suppressed anger and a hint of barely perceptible panic: "Wang Wan! How many times have I told you to behave yourself outside?! How many things have I settled for you?! Song Shiyu... I met him at the last drinking party. He's no simple character. He's young, but his methods are ruthless and sophisticated! I'll think of a way to deal with this matter first. You should behave yourself recently and focus on filming your drama! You've been around for so long, and you haven't even won a significant award. First, focus on filming this drama well and try to win an award!"
Wang Wan listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone and closed her eyes in despair.
