To Xu Xiao's surprise, there was an unexpected bonus.
After she had organized all the evidence and gone through the sequence of events to prepare a clarification post on Weibo based on the studio's content, Nie Pei, who had locked himself in his room since the incident began, suddenly approached her.
I gave her a USB drive.
Xu Xiao was surprised and puzzled: "What is this?"
Nie Pei handed the USB drive to her: "Evidence."
Xu Xiao raised an eyebrow and took the USB drive.
There were several recordings inside. After Xu Xiao finished listening to them, she couldn't help but look at Nie Pei and ask, "Where did these recordings come from?"
Nie Pei: "I recorded it."
Xu Xiao's mouth dropped open in surprise.
She really didn't expect it.
Nie Pei is only really interested in music. In everyday life, you can't expect him to do anything. If you talk to him for ten sentences and he responds with one or two, that's considered very polite.
Each time, she would just glance at people with her misty, puppy-like eyes, then lower her head and continue immersing herself in her own world.
How could someone like that know to record audio?
What a coincidence that such crucial content was recorded?
Of course, there can't be that many coincidences in this world.
Situ Jiu, who was standing nearby, also saw the USB drive, and his expression became incredibly subtle.
He turned around and went into Nie Pei's room.
Three minutes later, he came out carrying a storage box that was about the size of two shoeboxes and placed it in front of Nie Pei.
Xu Xiao peeked inside and was horrified when she saw the box full of USB drives.
Until Situ Jiu's voice rang out.
He said quietly, "Don't tell me these USB drives are all recordings."
Nie Pei: "...Hmm?"
Is there a problem?
Situ Jiu understood his gaze, and couldn't help but rub his forehead. It took him a while to find his voice: "How did you develop this habit?"
Judging by the number of USB drives, that must be recording for 24 hours a day, for several years, right?
Under normal circumstances, who would do such a thing for no reason?
Nie Pei tilted his head and thought for a moment, then slowly said, "It wasn't recorded on purpose."
What do you mean by "not recorded intentionally"?
Situ Jiu was stunned for a while, and slowly, he remembered some things.
Nie Pei has mild autism, so apart from promotional events, activities, and commercial performances that Yuxing requires him to attend, he tries to stay home as much as possible.
Moreover, unlike Yan Xi, he doesn't have to deal with miscellaneous tasks, nor does he have a carefree personality. He only works for a maximum of two hours before getting up to move around, check his phone, dance, or go for a run.
When there are no company-arranged events, he spends about 15 or 16 hours a day composing, tuning, and practicing songs, excluding eating and sleeping.
This led him to practice and revise a song repeatedly.
But sometimes, with more practice and more versions of the music, it's easy to get them mixed up if you're not careful.
Therefore, Nie Pei has a habit of recording himself every time he composes and tunes a piece, so that he can use the recording to compare the recordings when he continues to compose later.
However, he has almost zero self-care ability in daily life. Every time he finishes composing a piece, he just smears some smear on his face and goes to sleep, often forgetting to turn off the recording.
Unless the phone runs out of battery and shuts down automatically, it records almost 24/7.
Then, within two days, his phone's memory was filled with recordings.
So... when he deleted the old recordings, he actually copied everything to a USB drive and saved it all?
Situ Jiu was too conflicted to speak.
Situ Jiu realized it, and Yan Xi, who was also a member of the Hidden Group and extremely familiar with Nie Pei, naturally realized it too. She looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression: "So, you just locked yourself in the room for most of the day to look for these things?"
Nie Pei: "Mm."
Everyone couldn't help but glance at the box of USB drives and gave him a thumbs up: "He's a monster."
No matter how strange the habit of recording and saving the recordings at all times is, it just so happens to come in handy now.
Xu Xiao adjusted the edited text and then began to present the evidence.
Xu Xiao obtained the chat logs between Jian Ze and Yuxing staff through his connections. The main content was that Yuxing promised Jian Ze to support his comeback, while Jian Ze released the unfair contract of Shengxiao Studio in his personal capacity in order to attack Shengxiao Studio and the Hidden Group.
These chat logs were sent out by Xu Xiao in the name of his marketing accounts, with the aim of dragging Yuxing into the incident.
After waiting for about two hours, around 9 p.m., when the number of people online was at its peak and the matter had spread to a considerable extent, Xu Xiao opened the official Weibo account of Shengxiao Studio and posted three consecutive messages.
The first piece of evidence: the individual and group contracts of the three individuals, combined with Nie Pei's recording, immediately confirmed that Yuxing had fraudulently signed contracts.
The second installment reveals the schedules of the three individuals during their three years at Yuxing, including their commercial performances, variety shows, drinking parties, and various suggestive chat logs where their agents pressured them into making illicit deals, exposing the unscrupulous nature of Yuxing.
The third item: two bank transfer records, and a recording of Guan Shaoning, acting as a lawyer, negotiating with Yuxing to terminate the contract on behalf of the three, while the other party withheld the people and demanded an exorbitant penalty of 1 billion yuan.
After three waves of evidence, it becomes clear who Qin Sheng and Yu Xing truly stood on the side of the three hidden individuals and was acting in their best interests.
Finally, the studio posted a Weibo message with just one sentence: "[Right and wrong are judged by the hearts of the people]."
Situ Jiu and the other two immediately forwarded the last Weibo post.
Situ Jiu and Nie Pei simply forwarded the message without saying anything, but Yan Xi was different.
Image attached, text edited: [Food before and after terminating our contract with Yuxing, ladies, we really signed this exploitative contract willingly!! By the way, just to officially announce, @QinSheng, this is my sugar daddy [shy][shy][shy]]
The accompanying photos were two pictures of people eating.
The first picture is a solo photo of Nie Pei eating instant noodles. In addition to the one he is eating, there are two empty noodle bowls on each side of him.
The second table was much more lavish, with braised pork belly, fried chicken wings, scallion oil bream, spicy blood curd, stir-fried bullfrog... piled high on the conference table.
Yes, it was one of the meals that Gu Yueming and Fu Jingheng took turns bringing over when Qin Sheng was working overtime here a few days ago.
These were all photos that Yan Xi casually took at the time.
It's been released now, and they've cleverly added a date watermark to the photo.
The first one is, and the second one is.
They were placed side by side, creating a striking contrast.
Then it just exploded.
In less than half an hour, several trending topics related to Yuxing Shengxiao rose to the top of the trending list.
The comments section was filled with unanimous criticism, completely tearing Yuxing apart.
