When the vice president said this, Manager Sheng was speechless for a moment.
Before Meng Fu came to Shengyu today, Manager Sheng suspected that this matter must be a misunderstanding. It is possible that Meng Fu painted earlier than the person from the Painting Association, or it may be a simple coincidence...
But he never expected that the painting in Jingxie was actually painted by Meng Fu himself!
"Vice President, this is the first time I've heard that she can draw," Manager Sheng shook his head, "I'll call Sister Fan to ask."
He didn't want to disturb Zhao Fan, but now he couldn't help it. After a little talk, he said, "Why haven't I heard you say that she can paint, and one of her paintings was included in the Painting Association Library?"
Zhao Fan was still lying in the hospital, playing games on the computer. When she received the call from Manager Sheng, she raised her eyebrows, "You mean the painting of dead trees? She is so popular right now. I think the most important thing in the entertainment industry is the work and achievements. These are all empty talk. Her teacher also said that there were many omissions in her painting. She spent two months painting trees some time ago. This is not something to be proud of. There is no need to bring it up, otherwise people will say that she is setting up a persona."
Compared to Yan Langfeng's apprentice, Zhao Fan indeed felt that there was no need to mention the painting that Meng Fu had in T City.
Manager Sheng said after hearing what Zhao Fan said: "..."
Oh.

...
...
Downstairs, Meng Fu put on her mask and baseball cap again.
I picked up my phone and made a call.
The vice president's secretary saw her off respectfully, and seeing that she was on the phone, she couldn't help but look at her curiously and with a studying expression.
The phone rang twice before being connected, and the secretary heard Meng Fu speak——
"Brother Cheng, you should buy Shengyu's stock quickly. It has fallen a lot now. It will go up tomorrow. You won't lose money if you invest in it. Trust me..."
The secretary watched Meng Fu get into the car while talking on the phone: "......?"
Is it still possible to do this? ? ?
The secretary watched Meng Fu leave in a taxi, and for some reason he also registered a stock account.
Su family.
Su Cheng, who was sitting at the table listening to the meeting of other members of the Su family, casually turned the Buddhist beads in one hand and held a mobile phone in the other. After listening to Meng Fu's words, he said "hmm".
Because he was in a meeting, he didn't say much. After Meng Fu said a few words, he hung up the phone.
After the meeting, he waved to Su Huang and asked him to transfer money to buy Shengyu’s stocks.
"Stocks?" Su Huang was stunned. He looked at Su Cheng and scratched his head. "Why did you suddenly think of buying Shengyu's stocks?"
Su Cheng explained casually.
Su Huang didn't understand stocks, but he admired Meng Fu now. When he heard this, he asked someone to open an account for him and used his pocket money to buy stocks.
"Don't buy it." After training, Su Tian saw Su Huang borrowing money from someone and shook his head. He knew about stocks and looked up the share value of Shengyu. It had soared from 39 four months ago to 54 and then began to fall today. "This stock rose strangely before. Now it's 48. I estimate that there will be three crows. The market outlook is weak. I don't recommend buying it."
Su Huang didn't quite understand what the three crows were. After hearing what Su Tian said, he scratched his head and said, "But Miss Meng asked the young master to buy them, so there shouldn't be anything wrong, right? Did you buy any?"
"I won't buy it," Su Tian shook his head. "You can only sell the stock after three days. After three days, if the stock price falls below 39, you will lose a lot of money."

At the same time, another Weibo post that was posted four months ago was found on Weibo:
I am a Puff: [Picture] [Picture] Ahhh, I met my sister by chance at the Painting Association! She actually wants to be able to go to the tall building. Can anyone tell me if my sister is a member of the Painting Association?
When this Weibo post was first posted, some people questioned whether the person looked similar to the one on the Weibo post.
This happened at this time, and this Weibo post was screenshotted again and posted to Meng Fu’s fan club’s comment section, asking Meng Fu’s fan club:
[Is this my sister?] Do you think the painting in the library is of your sister's teacher or something? Didn’t my sister say on the show last time that she had a teacher? 】
Yin Bingnian naturally didn't believe that Meng Fu would plagiarize, especially since she asked the old man who often sent her things online. The old man told her not to worry about Meng Fu's character. Yin Bingnian seemed to come alive and directed the people in the group to control the comments for Meng Fu. After receiving this comment, she also frowned and replied -
[This person’s temperament and appearance are exactly the same as my sister. I also wonder if she is my sister? 】
Meng Fu doesn't post on Weibo on weekdays. Except for the last welfare post, most of the posts are advertisements. There are not even as many private pictures and spoilers as those posted by the fans.
So Yin Bingnian now has 8.9 million fans.
Her reply was instantly captured by netizens.
【? ? Do you know who can enter the Painting Association’s high-rise building? The elites of the Painting Association, even Sheng Jun is not allowed to enter even if he has nothing to do, and you, a small artist, dare to get involved with the masters of the Painting Association? MF fans really shocked me, are they dreaming? 】
[Haha xswl, there is no need to talk to them upstairs. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. They are anxious, they are anxious. 】
[@孟芙, hhhh your fans said this is you. 】
[@Meng Fu, please don’t be silent. Come out and clarify whether this is you? 】
At the same time, the well-known painting blogger who pointed out Meng Fu’s plagiarism in the morning also directly forwarded Yin Bingnian’s comment:
Nanfeng Ruxian: [I hope you won’t bring up Meng Fu and the masters from the Painting Association anymore. This painting and that master are not something you can comment on casually. 】
Nanfeng Ruxian obviously has the noble character of an artist. He admires the people in the Painting Association very much and likes the picture of dead tree, and will not tolerate any flaws.
His previous Weibo post already had 300,000 comments and was on the hot search list.
This Weibo post received 20,000 comments in just two minutes.
At this time, Shengyu’s official Weibo account released a Weibo post announcing an online press conference at 3pm. It was very simple:
[Please stay tuned for the press conference on the first floor of Shengyu at 3pm. 】
There is no word "apology" in the title at all.
The netizens who were just watching the show were shocked.
[Just a notice, not even an apology? Not apologizing to Ye Shuning who was edited, and not apologizing to the original author? 】
Looking forward to seeing you m. 】
[Is this the character of big companies?] 】
[Sure enough, what kind of company you have, what kind of artist you have. 】
【Shengyu Mengfu's life is dark (smile)】
[Online press conference, right? I'll wait for the link to see what you guys can say (smile)]
**
Shengyu is going to hold a press conference. Most of the people who are paying attention to this matter have received the news, and countless people are watching.
Ye Shuning also got the news. She looked at the Weibo post with a cold expression, but in one night, the public opinion about her on Weibo changed instantly.
After finding out that Meng Fu's painting was plagiarized, he no longer had the desire to be outdone by Meng Fu.
She forwarded Shengyu’s Weibo post to Xi Nancheng.
On the other end of the phone, Xi Nancheng naturally also knew the news. He was inviting Sheng Jun to dinner. Seeing this, he couldn't help but click on the large picture and frowned.
"Press conference, do you want to see it?" Sheng Jun smiled.
Xi Nancheng said calmly, "What are you looking at? How do you want to hear her make excuses and apologize?"
After hearing what Xi Nancheng said, Sheng Jun just smiled and did not mention the matter of Meng Fu again.
Then he told Xi Nancheng about the new movie: "Director Xu is really back. He has another political drama with three male protagonists. I heard that one has been decided, and he is looking for the rest. There should be an open audition. There is only one piece of news, and I am not sure."
Hearing Sheng Jun's words, Xi Nancheng raised his head and his eyes moved, "When will the auditions be held?"
In the circle, no one doesn't want to act in Director Xu's movie.
It's not just about the quality. Being able to receive guidance from Director Xu will also improve one's overall acting skills a lot.
"It should be soon," Sheng Jun pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "At a film and television base. I'll let you know when he starts auditions."
**
2:30 in the afternoon.
Dozens of security guards were maintaining order on the first floor of Shengyu Building, and major media outlets flocked to the scene.
Two fifty-five.
Manager Sheng appeared on the stage.
The reporters naturally knew Manager Sheng and knew that he was Meng Fu's boss.
Seeing Manager Sheng, the long-haired man wanted to poke Manager Sheng in the face, "Excuse me, where is Meng Fu? I haven't seen her for a long time. Did she leave out of guilt?"
"Regarding the elevator picture on the Internet, does Meng Fu want to clarify anything?"
"Does your company and Meng Fu plan to apologize to the original artist today?"
"Are you creating a character for Meng Fu? When Meng Fu plagiarized, she probably didn't know that this was a painting from the Painting Association, right?"
"Excuse me, can we wait until Meng Fu himself comes out to apologize?"
These reporters were all veterans in the entertainment industry, and their questions hit the nail on the head. They even accused Meng Fu of plagiarism and asked her directly how she was going to apologize.
Meng Fu’s current national popularity is too high, especially since she is still at the peak of her career. The online live broadcast on Weibo has been watched by 10 million people.
Manager Sheng looked at the reporters with a smile and said calmly, "Everyone, please be patient. We will give everyone an explanation today, and Meng Fu will be here in person."
He lowered his head and looked at his watch calmly.
Two fifty-seven.
Meng Fu and Mr. Shen had not arrived yet, and he couldn't help but look towards the gate. Having been with Meng Fu several times before, he knew that Meng Fu was always punctual, so he didn't think that Meng Fu would not come this time.
At 2:59, Weibo was flooded with comments.
[Meng Fu feels guilty? Put the blame on Shengyu? 】
[Meng Fu really lost her favor this time.] 】
[Do you also need to apologize to Ye Shuning? Ye Shuning was badly criticized because of her. Is a copied painting worthy of being compared with Ye Shuning? 】
[I have turned from a fan to a hater. No matter how Meng Fu and Sheng Yu apologize this time, I will no longer be her fan. 】
[Ye Shuning is still the best, she is a talented woman and all her works are original. 】
【……】
Three o'clock.
There was a commotion at the gate and all cameras were pointed at it.
Meng Fu was surrounded by five bodyguards at the door, and a middle-aged man followed her.
But at this time no one cared about the middle-aged man, and all the cameras were eager to poke at Meng Fu's face.
The five bodyguards couldn't stop all the reporters. One reporter broke through the bodyguards and squeezed directly to Meng Fu's side. The microphone was poked directly into Meng Fu's face, and his words were aggressive, "Ms. Meng Fu, how are you going to apologize to the original author this time? Do you think your fans will forgive you?"
Before the microphone could hit Meng Fu's face again, it was blocked by her two fingers.
Meng Fu stopped where she was, took off her sunglasses with her other hand, tucked them into the collar of her white sweater, and glared at the reporter: "Who told you I'm apologizing today?"
After saying that, the two bodyguards took the reporter away.
Meng Fu and the middle-aged man beside her walked to the stage.
Because of her words, both the live broadcast and the online broadcast started to get chaotic.
When Manager Sheng saw the middle-aged man, he guessed that this should be the "Xiao Shen" that Teacher Meng Fu mentioned. "Thank you very much for coming today. I know everyone is concerned about the dead tree painting. Mr. Shen will explain it to us."
After saying that, Manager Sheng handed the microphone to the middle-aged man.
The reporters present did not expect that Mr. Shen was the protagonist. All the cameras were aimed at Mr. Shen, with the sounds of "click" and "click".
Meng Fu's previous statement of not apologizing caused a huge uproar.
[No apology?] 】
[Meng Fu, you don’t want Bilian anymore? 】
[If you plagiarize, just apologize and admit your mistake. Meng Fu can still survive in the entertainment industry in the future. Why don’t you apologize? Why don't you apologize? So thick-skinned? 】
【……】
Despite so many reporters and cameras, the middle-aged man was not panicked at all. He just took the microphone calmly and glanced at the reporters with a very strong aura.
Several reporters who were asking questions aggressively took a step back involuntarily.
"I'm Chen Li." The middle-aged man introduced himself.
The reporter interrupted him directly, his words were extremely sharp: "Sorry, it doesn't matter who you are. We don't want to know who you are at all. We just want to know why Meng Fu didn't apologize? Can a thief be so shameless?"
Chen Li raised his eyebrows. He glanced at the reporter who was asking questions. He didn't get angry at being interrupted. He just smiled and said, "Why didn't she apologize? It's very simple. Because the painting in our Painting Association Library was also painted by her. I don't think she needs to apologize to herself. Madam, what do you think?"
Chen Li's words not only stopped the barrage of comments at the scene, but also on Weibo where the audience watching the live broadcast paused for a moment.
Then he started brushing like crazy again.
[That was also drawn by her?] 】
[That's impossible. You would believe it just because someone says it? 】
[Oh shit oh shit!] What kind of shocking news is this? ? 】
[I spent a long time thinking about how Meng Fu should do public relations and apologize, and you told me that it was her own fault? ? 】
After that, Shen Li handed the microphone to Manager Sheng and glanced at Meng Fu. The two of them still had to go find Yan Langfeng.
"Wait, Mr. Shen," a reporter was the first to react and quickly handed over the microphone, "Excuse me, sir, who are you? How do you know that the painting is from Meng Fu?"
Chen Li brushed away the microphone, "It doesn't matter who I am, I won't take up your time."
The entire explanation took less than a minute and only took one sentence. With such an arrogant attitude, not only the reporters and netizens at the scene were confused, but even Manager Sheng was confused.
Some netizens believe it, some are skeptical, and some don't believe it.
"Manager Sheng, do you think netizens will believe it?" Manager Sheng's assistant sent Meng Fu away and asked cautiously.
Manager Sheng didn't know about this, so he called Zhao Fan directly to ask her about it.
Zhao Fan was still playing games in the hospital. She also watched the live broadcast. When she heard Manager Sheng's concerns, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry."
"But he just said one sentence and his attitude was not good..." Manager Sheng was worried. He didn't say a word and his attitude was still very arrogant.
Zhao Fan smiled: "Do you know what the Painting Association is?"
“Then I am Vice President Shen. His introduction was interrupted by the entertainment reporter. What good face do you expect him to give them?”
**
The live broadcast was cut off by Shengyu in a very forceful manner after just a few minutes, but the barrage of comments was still continuing. Most people felt that Shengyu was being perfunctory towards netizens this time.
Ye Shuning's assistant also watched the whole process.
I couldn't help but post comments - [He didn't apologize, but just casually said that the painting was painted by Meng Fu. Was that person bribed by the capitalist behind Meng Fu? Just to market Meng Fu's character? 】
[That being said, it is very likely.] 】
【nausea. 】
[Shengyu is just treating us like this?] 】
[The analysis makes a lot of sense. Shengyu would do anything to support Meng Fu! 】
[Shengyu’s operation is very confusing. Just find someone randomly and the matter is resolved like this? 】
[Wait... did you guys see Nan Feng's Weibo? He deleted the post that dissed Meng Fu...]
[Deleted the blog?] Why? 】
[… Barrage masters, if you have so much time to ask questions, why not take a look at the first hot comment under Nanfeng Ruxian’s new Weibo]
All netizens rushed to Nanfeng Ruxian’s new Weibo, without even reading the content, and directly clicked on the comments.
The first comment was: [You call this perfunctory? (picture)】
Everyone clicked on the picture, which contained a character introduction with thousands of views:
【Chen Li, male, 41 years old, graduated from the Art Department of Beijing Film Academy.
He is currently the vice president of the T City Painting Association, director of the Cultural Bureau, and member of the City Security Bureau. 】
