However.
The top leader saw through it with just a glance:
"Keyboard warriors are cowardly and weak. They only dare to attack online, but in reality they're just useless dogs. Most of the people who came to Wanxia to denounce them are paid trolls hired by Xingtu to stir up more trouble. Xiao Song, I'll give you ten minutes to handle this. Secretary, call the police immediately."
"Okay." The secretary nodded and immediately took out her phone.
“…Yes, Chairman.” Song Yuqin walked out of the conference room almost under pressure.
This high-level meeting ended without producing a reasonable solution.
"Director, if Zhaoyang doesn't make it through this time, won't he be..." Xiao Zhang, who was following behind, didn't dare to finish his sentence.
Song Yuqin fell silent; she couldn't find the right words to answer Xiao Zhang's question.
"How did it turn out like this?" Manager Qin from the contract department and Manager Lin from the publicity department looked disgruntled. Although the business world is like a battlefield, Xingtu's rampant rumors are beyond despicable. Aren't they afraid of getting into trouble?
When Song Yuqin and her friends took the elevator to the first floor, they found that many of their colleagues from the composition department were there, including Li Zhaoyang.
"Zhaoyang, what are you doing downstairs?"
Song Yuqin felt anxious when she saw Li Zhaoyang appear in the lobby on the first floor.
The people who are now blocking the entrance of the Evening Glow Building are definitely being sabotaged by Xingtu, with the aim of stirring up trouble.
At this point, Li Zhaoyang should not show his face at all.
"It all started because of me." Li Zhaoyang estimated that he could obtain evidence of Zhao Shanshan's crimes tonight.
If I can't get it tonight, the latest I'll get it is tomorrow morning.
"Xiao Zhang, take Zhaoyang out the back door." Song Yuqin knew very well what it meant if Zhaoyang got involved.
Being condemned online is one thing, but this kind of thing can be ignored.
People are coming up to block the door now; it's easy for something to go wrong.
"Director, to be honest, from the very beginning when Zhao Shanshan released the video to frame me, whether you believe it or not, you have at least stood by my side and tried your best to fight for my interests. I have seen all of this, so let me personally step forward this time. I don't want you to be dragged into this mess of public opinion because of me anymore."
If it were any other company, when Li Zhaoyang first got into trouble, regardless of whether you actually did it or not, they would have to kick you out once public opinion took hold.
There was no sunset, and the vice president even managed to secure him this year's year-end bonus.
That's enough.
Li Zhaoyang saw it all.
“These words are quite touching, but one thing at a time. This is not your personal matter; it is our Wanxia’s matter.”
Song Yuqin's face turned unusually gloomy: "Xingtu has repeatedly spread rumors about our Wanxia, causing us to lose so much profit for nothing. If we swallow this insult, we will only face endless suppression in the future."
"Get Li Zhaoyang out here!"
"That's right, let Li Zhaoyang come out!"
What does it mean to be a coward?
Outside the door, a series of stern shouts pierced everyone's ears. Those who did not know what had happened thought that Li Zhaoyang had done something that would anger both heaven and man.
"Director, you see, if I don't step in, I can't control it." Li Zhaoyang said decisively, leaving these words behind before striding towards the door.
Song Yuqin's expression was subtle, and the leaders of various departments behind her quickly followed.
The security guards outside breathed a sigh of relief when they saw leaders coming down from upstairs.
If the leaders don't show up soon, they'll all suspect that these guys are planning to force their way in.
"You are Li Zhaoyang?" The young man standing at the front of the crowd looked at one of the men after a group of leaders came out.
The young man's name was Qin Yi, and he was the younger brother of Chen Tianyi's female secretary.
He's the one who encouraged fans to go offline for a real sunset.
"That's me." Li Zhaoyang nodded softly, his face expressionless. He already had a complete plan in mind.
"Zhaixing...is that really your stage name?" Some of the people at the scene were die-hard fans of Zhaixing. Ever since they learned that Zhaixing was the disgraced artist Li Zhaoyang, their worldviews almost collapsed.
How can someone so talented be a disgraced celebrity? What makes them worthy of being called a disgraced celebrity?
"It's me." Li Zhaoyang said calmly, not at all like someone caught in the middle of public opinion.
His composure surprised Song Yuqin and the other leaders.
"Li Zhaoyang! Why did you do this? Can't you be more dignified after breaking up? Why did you have to go after Zhao Shanshan?"
One fan glared angrily: "Since your identity as a singer has already been banned, you should have focused on managing your stage name 'Zhaixing' (meaning 'Star Picker'). Even if we find out later that 'Zhaixing' is you, we won't be angry. But you chose to take this path!"
"What about the others? Any other questions? Just say them all at once." Li Zhaoyang's face showed a resolute expression.
"Li Zhaoyang, Zhaixing! Go and apologize to Zhao Shanshan. If you've made a mistake, you should correct it promptly. It's never too late to correct it!"
"Yes! You're so talented in songwriting. After asking Zhao Shanshan for forgiveness, just focus on developing your career in the songwriting industry. Even saints make mistakes, and we're willing to give you a chance!"
It's clear that half of the group of online trolls who came to block the door are fans.
but.
How could Qin Yi, standing in the crowd, possibly let such a thing happen?
Not wanting to miss out on a good show, they decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Why should artists or songwriters with tainted reputations be able to continue working in the music industry simply by apologizing?"
Qin Yi became excited, and with the air of offering a "reward of 100,000 yuan," he shouted loudly:
"If apologies were enough, what would be the point of the police? Just like with infidelity, there are only zero times or countless times. Just because a disgraced artist like Li Zhaoyang wrote one or two high-quality works, can we ignore the mistakes he made to others? What about Zhao Shanshan? Who will speak up for her?"
Qin Yi's eyes darted around, and the "actor" beside him understood immediately, rushing out and shouting.
"Yes, it's just like those celebrities who use drugs. After they quit drugs, they apologize and admit their mistakes and want to make a comeback. Who will speak up for the anti-drug workers?"
This "actor" had dyed his hair yellow, and he shouted, "We're all adults, we should pay for the mistakes we've made!"
"Well said! If apologies were enough, I could slap you across the face and say sorry to you, and that would be the end of it!" The masked girl, whose face was not revealed, spoke in an extremely shrill voice: "Li Zhaoyang, do you dare let me slap you? Then I'll apologize to you too!"
An "actor" with headphones around his neck jumped out and began his performance: "Don't forget, just a while ago, Wanxia announced the ban on Li Zhaoyang, and then Zhaixing popped up to seamlessly take over. This is not just a simple fraud; Wanxia is treating us, the audience, like monkeys!"
The one with the most explosive power had to be the long-haired man, who bared his teeth and brandished his claws: "Sunset Glow, please give the music industry some peace and quiet, and get the disgraced artist Li Zhaoyang out of the music industry!"
A blond-haired man, a girl wearing a mask, a man with headphones around his neck, and a long-haired young man—these people were clearly hired trolls, putting on a very enthusiastic performance.
Under their influence, the water became completely murky.
The fans all began to feel indignant:
"Well said! Disgraced artist Li Zhaoyang, get out of the music industry!"
"Disgraced artist Li Zhaoyang should get out of the music industry immediately. This industry doesn't need people like you!"
"Bullshit!" Supervisor Bian's temper flared up: "You fucking have to deal with this one thing at a time. Using narcotics officers as an example is disrespectful to those officers!!"
"Hey, are you going to hit me?" Qin Yi leaned closer, lowering his voice to laugh, "Am I wrong? You damn thing, your mother's been fucked by a pig!"
"You dare to curse my mother? Get out of here!" Manager Bian stepped forward and shoved him.
