The three of them suddenly looked up, their eyes gleaming with a desperate, life-saving light.
Feng Yuxuan looked down at them from her high position, her tone devoid of any emotion.
"Your only way to survive is to get out here now, immediately, and right now, and go find Zhou Yang!"
"Show your most sincere attitude. Whether you kneel down and beg for forgiveness or kowtow and admit your mistakes, as long as you can get his forgiveness!"
"If he is willing to forgive you, perhaps you can still retain some dignity and safely leave this circle."
"But if..."
Feng Yuxuan's voice suddenly turned cold, "But if you can't handle it, or if you're still thinking of playing some tricks... Hmph!"
"What awaits you is not only a complete ban from the entertainment industry, but you might even... disappear. Don't blame me for not warning you then!"
That last sentence sent a chill down Qi Feifei's spine.
They had no doubt about the truthfulness of Feng Yuxuan's words.
Even the powerful Feng Dong fears them greatly; crushing them would probably be easier than crushing an ant.
"Yes! We'll go right away! We'll go apologize to Mr. Zhou right away!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Feng! Thank you, Mr. Feng!"
The three of them felt as if they had been granted a pardon and scrambled out of the conference room as if a raging flood was chasing them.
Soon, the online sentiment shifted dramatically.
Qi Feifei, Zheng Zhongzhou, and Hao Xuan released apology videos almost simultaneously.
In the video, they looked disheveled, bowing deeply to the camera and sincerely apologizing for their inappropriate behavior and for condoning online bullying by fans, and begging Zhou Yang for forgiveness.
Following this, their respective official fan clubs also issued announcements calling on fans to stop all attacks and to collectively apologize to Zhou Yang.
This move completely stunned the onlookers!
[Holy crap! What's going on? This arrogant and domineering celebrity from just a few days ago is now kneeling down and crying in apology?!]
[Hahaha, that's hilarious! Looks like you've finally met your match! Serves you right for showing off and cutting in line!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, the way their knees buckle so easily, their arrogance followed by obsequiousness is truly spectacular!]
[A massive face-slapping moment, so satisfying! I've long disliked these talentless, attention-seeking internet celebrities!]
So, just who is Zhou Yang? How could he possibly make Dream Entertainment, one of the three major entertainment companies, bow down?
[Didn't the person upstairs see the trending topics? Boss Zhou's background, wow, unfathomable!]
...
The internet was flooded with ridicule and speculation, but Zhou Yang remained completely oblivious to the turmoil.
He truly hadn't expected that the Sinar Mas Group and Fu Meng Jewelry would stand up for him so openly.
Zhou Yang remembered the favor Qin Yumo had done for him and the executive at Fumeng Jewelry whom he had never met before.
If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you.
After resting for a day and a night, Xu Yao's injuries subsided considerably, and her mobility returned to normal.
The next morning, she was refreshed and ready to set up her stall with Zhou Yang again.
The two pushed their familiar braised food cart to Xintiandi Plaza. Before they could even set up their stall, they saw three figures rushing over.
It was Qi Feifei, Zheng Zhongzhou, and Hao Xuan!
Unlike their tearful appearance in yesterday's video, the three of them looked haggard, but their eyes were filled with tension and fear.
"Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou!"
The three of them ran up to Zhou Yang and, without saying a word, bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle in unison, amidst the shocked gazes of all the diners and passersby around them.
"We're sorry, Mr. Zhou! We were wrong!"
"We were blind and offended you! Please forgive us!"
"We promise this will never happen again!"
This sudden scene froze the atmosphere in the square.
Zhou Yang's fans, who were either queuing up or watching, were also surprised.
[I can't believe it! A celebrity bows and apologizes to Jay Chou in public?!]
[OMG, my idol, the master chef, is actually a hidden super master?! This is incredible!]
[Waaaaah, I feel like my status has skyrocketed! From now on, who will dare say we're idolizing a street vendor? We're idolizing a top-tier, super-rich heir who's secretly experiencing life!]
[Impressive! Impressive! This is true boss-like demeanor!]
Looking at the three "big stars" in front of him, who were so apprehensive and wished they could bury their heads in the ground, Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow with a hint of helplessness.
To be honest, he didn't take these clowns seriously at all.
However, since they had come to him and adopted such a humble attitude, he wasn't the type to hold a grudge.
"Alright, get up."
Zhou Yang spoke calmly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger, "Let bygones be bygones."
Upon hearing this, the three of them felt as if they had heard heavenly music, and almost burst into tears of joy, but they still dared not get up immediately, and looked at Zhou Yang cautiously.
Zhou Yang sighed, his gaze sweeping over the three of them with a hint of warning: "However, there's something I need to remind you of."
The three immediately perked up their ears, their attitude extremely respectful.
"As public figures, your every word and action is watched by countless people. From now on, you should take care of yourselves and your fans."
Zhou Yang's voice was strangely sinister:
"The internet is not a lawless zone. Don't incite your fans to cyberbully others. Be careful, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Zhou's words of advice are correct! We will definitely keep them in mind and correct our mistakes!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your magnanimity! Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"
Qi Feifei and the other two nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice, and bowed deeply to Zhou Yang again to apologize.
Only then, under the complex gazes of the surrounding crowd, did he leave in a flustered state, as if relieved of a great burden.
...
Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Jindu, the filming location for the TV series "Hilarious Daily Life in the Palace" was being held.
During a break, Lin Yue, Zhao Si, and several other college students were huddled together scrolling through their phones, their expressions a mix of emotions.
"Wow, Yueyue, look! Qi Feifei and the others really went to apologize to Brother Zhou, and they even bowed to him in person!"
Zhao Si's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
Lin Yue put down her phone, her face showing a mixture of shock and emotion: "I saw it... I never expected Brother Zhou to have such a powerful background!"
"Jin Guang and Fu Meng are both personally involved... Their power is far greater than that of our Lin family!"
Another classmate clicked his tongue in amazement: "We were just fighting against those brainless fans for Brother Zhou online a couple of days ago, reporting them and controlling the comments. Turns out, he doesn't need our fighting power at all!"
“You can’t say that,” Lin Yue shook her head.
"We helped Brother Zhou out of friendship and loyalty, it has nothing to do with his background. But now we can really rest assured, let's see who dares to slander him again!"
Not far away, Lin Chuan, who was reading a script, also heard the students' discussion.
He silently refreshed the news on his phone.
