He naturally wouldn't say what he had done, after all, this was the first time Zhizhi had personally dealt with an enemy.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up. Xiao Yuan sat in his chair for a moment, recalling his childish tone of voice, and couldn't help but smile.
Meanwhile, Bai Qingzhi was practically twisted into a pretzel on the bed, giggling foolishly for a long time before finally pulling the blanket over her head and going to sleep.
The next day, before Bai Qingzhi even opened her eyes, her phone started ringing incessantly. Still half asleep, she grabbed it and answered, only to hear a loud female voice.
"Qingzhi, you're on the news!" Yang Wei's voice was a little loud.
Bai Qingzhi frowned, moved her phone further away, poked her head out from under the covers, and opened her sleepy eyes.
"What news?" Her voice was still hoarse.
Yang Wei glanced at her watch and asked in surprise:
"It's almost eleven o'clock, and you're still not up!"
Bai Qingzhi blinked, looked at the dark room, and seemed somewhat disbelieving of Yang Wei's words.
I got out of bed and pulled the curtains open a crack, and a burst of blinding light flooded in.
Bai Qingzhi narrowed her eyes before taking a deep breath.
My mind cleared up a bit, and I pressed them again to tell me what had happened.
It turns out that their TV series premiered today. Although the later episodes haven't been fully edited yet, the director decided to edit them as they air.
At the same time, Bai Qingzhi's name also became a trending topic.
However, the comments were not positive. Most self-media outlets were spreading rumors that Bai Qingzhi obtained the role by taking advantage of her status and that she used her power to bully others, directly ousting the originally intended second female lead.
The self-media reports were quite detailed and convincing, with some even claiming to be crew members revealing how arrogant and domineering Bai Qingzhi was on set.
These reports have also attracted the attention of many netizens, and some who believed them have directly declared that they would not watch the TV series produced by Bai Qingzhi.
Yang Wei on the other side was furious, but Bai Qingzhi, the person involved, remained calm.
These things didn't matter to her at all.
She's not in the entertainment industry; she just filmed this because she found it interesting. So what if those people boycott her?
Seeing that Bai Qingzhi was completely unconcerned about the slanderous remarks against her, Yang Wei sighed helplessly and hung up the phone.
However, he felt indignant and finally logged into his account a dozen minutes later to argue with the trolls.
Yang Wei did not hide her identity. She was the way she is today because of Bai Qingzhi. Besides, the current Yang Wei is not the same person she used to be.
Yang Wei doesn't care about reputation or public image at all.
Qingzhi said something quite right: just live happily.
Soon, news of actress Yang Wei standing up for Bai Qingzhi became a trending topic, ranking alongside Bai Qingzhi's bullying behavior.
It also gave the TV series, which had not yet officially premiered, a bit of a boost in popularity.
Although it wasn't a positive thing, it really boosted brand awareness; according to backend statistics, the number of searches for the TV series' name doubled.
The press conference for the TV series is this afternoon, and Bai Qingzhi, as the second female lead, will definitely have to attend.
The stylist did a simple look for Bai Qingzhi, and when she arrived at the press conference, many media outlets were already there.
As soon as Bai Qingzhi got out of the car, she was immediately surrounded.
However, the questions raised by those media outlets were far from friendly.
"Ms. Bai, is it true that you kicked out the second female lead, as rumored online?"
"Did you ever bully others on set?"
"Ms. Bai, what is your opinion on the current barrage of criticism directed at you online?"
Bai Qingzhi stood still, quietly listening to everyone's questions.
Seeing her calm demeanor, the previously bustling media fell silent, and the surroundings became quiet in an instant.
Bai Qingzhi gave an innocent smile before answering each question one by one:
"I don't know how to answer these questions. Whether I answer yes or no, there will definitely be a new wave of attacks against me online after today. But to be honest, I really don't care about these things."
After she finished speaking, Bai Qingzhi's smile widened.
"Although I don't care, my family might not, so I hope those who spread rumors will think twice."
After finishing her two sentences, Bai Qingzhi nodded politely to the media personnel, then decisively turned around, leaving behind only her back view.
Many media professionals were surprised by her response. They had interviewed countless celebrities before, and she always gave them polite but insincere answers.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, she had already gone inside.
However, everyone's attention was quickly drawn to a newly arrived car, and they all rushed towards it.
This time, Bai Qingze did not leave in a hurry, but stood there with a cold face, waiting for everyone's interview.
Before the media could even ask any questions, Bai Qingze's voice came through.
"Regarding the online rumors and slander against my sister, I have contacted my lawyer, and the Bai family's professional legal team is also ready. Up until I stood here, a total of thirteen lawyer's letters were sent out, and a total of one hundred and thirty people were summoned. I believe that everyone will receive the news soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Wei followed her over.
"I have already filed lawsuits against those big V accounts that slandered Qingzhi. The reason is that they spread rumors about me in the past. I will protect Qingzhi unconditionally. This time I am just pointing out a few typical cases."
Both of their attitudes were quite clear.
Next to enter were mostly minor celebrities. Most of them brushed off the topic of Bai Qingzhi with veiled criticisms, but two people stood firmly by Bai Qingzhi's side.
This was big news in the entertainment industry. Most media professionals sent the video back to the editorial department before even returning home, and then edited and processed it as quickly as possible, producing it in less than half an hour.
At the same time, all the influential online figures also disappeared. When netizens pressed them for answers, instead of hearing from them, they received the latest announcement from the cyber police.
"We have officially opened a case regarding the online defamation of Bai Mouzhi. Please wait for the latest updates."
Just five minutes after the announcement was released, netizens who had previously forwarded and insulted Bai Qingzhi deleted their accounts.
The evidence for the whole matter was conclusive, and it didn't take long at all. Just three hours after the first official announcement was released, the second official announcement followed.
This time, the results were directly reported to those influential figures. Although it was not stated whether they would be prosecuted and sentenced in the end, it is true that they committed a crime.
In just one day, the whole incident took many turns, and when the results were announced, not a single criticism of Bai Qingzhi could be found on the entire internet.
When the celebration banquet ended, the matter was nearing its conclusion.
The crew members looked at Bai Qingzhi with even more unusual eyes.
Before leaving, Bai Qingzhi glanced at the group of women chatting not far away and walked over with a smile.
"Sister Zheng Shuang." She was calling out to one of the obscure actresses who had just supported her in front of the media.
Zheng Shuang quickly responded.
