This time, Xingtu really used some underhanded tactics, spreading rumors that were half true and half false to make netizens believe it was true.
In the past, this could have been resolved by banning Zhaoyang's singer status.
But now.
Star Journey not only wants to ruin Sunset's reputation, but also wants to destroy Zhaoyang from the inside out.
His own album plans for his daughter were also doomed to fail; otherwise, he was confident that within six months, his daughter would become a top-tier singer thanks to her immense popularity as the "Princess in a Long Dress."
All of these... will cease to exist.
"Disgusting, Xingtu makes me feel disgusted!" Manager Bian coughed up a mouthful of phlegm on the ground.
"Ahem, Manager Bian... mind your manners." Chen Zu'an was a little embarrassed, walked to the corner, picked up a broom, and started mopping the floor.
"Da da da~"
After a long while, the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground came from outside the corridor.
The moment Song Yuqin and Xiao Zhang appeared, Supervisor Bian seemed to be greeted with new hope: "Director, you're finally back."
"Zhaoyang, I believe you didn't do it." Song Yuqin's first words were full of trust.
"Oh, Director, this isn't the time to talk about this. We need to find a way to suppress the public opinion." Supervisor Bian dared not imagine what the consequences would be if this kind of public opinion were allowed to ferment.
"I already informed my colleagues in the public relations department on the way back. Now all we need to do is release a response post to the public."
A hint of anger appeared on Song Yuqin's exquisite face.
Let bygones be bygones regarding the previous incident where Li Zhaoyang blocked them; Wanxia was in the wrong.
After all, Zhao Shanshan herself said that no girl would use her innocence to spread rumors.
But this time, they dared to fabricate facts based on just two videos, slap you, and threaten you!
This is going to ruin Zhaoyang.
Song Yuqin would not allow such a thing to happen.
Before Song Yuqin could even post a response after returning to her office, she discovered that the Evening Glow website was already flooded with negative comments.
The music on the official website of Sunset Glow originally had a score of at least 8 points.
Its reputation is now gradually collapsing, dropping directly to 7.5 points. If this trend continues, it's not impossible for it to fall to 6 points.
Not only on the official website of Wanxia, but also on major forums and social platforms, there are voices criticizing Wanxia.
Behind this public opinion surge lies the ambition of the industry. They would rather spend tens of millions to ruin the reputation of "Sunset Glow" than spend hundreds of millions to promote the work of their competitors.
As a result, in less than an hour, the reputation that the sunset had just built up quickly declined.
"Zhaixing is Li Zhaoyang? Don't be ridiculous. Although I'm a fan of Goddess Shanshan, let's stick to the facts!"
"Hey bro, haven't you seen the video released by Starway yet? Go check it out, there's video evidence, it really is true!"
"I thought it was some fake video from some shady character, but it turns out it was released by Starway's official website...??? I'm just a little...???"
"I can't accept that Teacher Zhaixing is a disgraced artist like Li Zhaoyang!"
"Li Zhaoyang, what makes him worthy of being called Zhaixing? Damn it, in my mind, Teacher Zhaixing is the kind of gentleman who is so refined and gentle."
"Holy crap, is Sunset Glow really this disgusting? Isn't this deceiving the audience? You promised a ban, is this what you call a ban?"
"That's right, the sunset needs to give us an explanation!!"
"Who wants to meet me in person as Li Zhaoyang?"
"The clever me has already downloaded 'Eliminating Sorrow' and 'Countdown,' so now you can do whatever you want, hehehe."
"Although 'Sorrow' and 'Countdown' are good, the music industry doesn't need artists with bad reputations. Even if this artist has switched to songwriting, he not only assaulted people but also threatened them. Evening Glow can no longer tolerate the existence of such a person with extremely poor character. It's time to make Zhaixing, uh, it's time to make Li Zhaoyang leave the industry completely!"
"Hmph, reason tells me that it's best to stand by and watch this for now. If things turn out differently in the end, I'll be the one who gets slapped in the face."
After quickly scanning through the comments, Song Yuqin was relieved to find that some rational netizens chose to remain silent.
This shows that people didn't blindly follow the trend.
Then they should show the proper attitude.
He posted a domineering response using his own official website account:
First, please provide evidence that Li Zhaoyang slapped Zhao Shanshan!
[Secondly, please produce the recording of Li Zhaoyang threatening Zhao Shanshan!]
[Third, Xingtu must respond regarding the location of Zhao Shanshan's meeting with Li Zhaoyang. We will immediately report this to the police and have them investigate the surveillance footage to see if Zhao Shanshan was assaulted or threatened as she claims.]
After reading the response, Manager Bian slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Look at my brain! I was too anxious and didn't think of that!"
The city is full of surveillance cameras. Zhao Shanshan keeps saying that she met with Li Zhaoyang. If we just check the surveillance footage at the place where they met, the truth will come out.
Supervisor Bian wanted to confirm again: "Zhaoyang, you really haven't done this before?"
"No." Li Zhaoyang put his hands in his pockets, seeing no need to lie.
But he still wanted to tell the director what happened last night: "Director, delete this post, it's useless."
"What's wrong?" Song Yuqin was a little confused by Zhao Yang's voice.
“Last night I was tricked by that vicious woman Zhao Shanshan,” Li Zhaoyang said. “If nothing unexpected happens, they should release a video to retaliate later.”
"What's going on?" Song Yuqin frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
"What exactly happened?" Manager Bian was also completely confused by Zhao Yang's words.
"Here's what happened..." Li Zhaoyang sat down and recounted what had happened last night.
Finally, Song Yuqin frowned deeply and asked, "Do you have any audio from the security cameras outside your apartment complex?"
"No." Li Zhaoyang shook his head: "Judging from what Xingtu has released so far, it's estimated that someone was hiding in the crowd or in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras taking pictures..."
"Damn it!" Manager Bian secretly clenched his fist, looking like something bad was about to happen: "If it really was filmed secretly, then whatever they say is up to them. The key is that the surveillance cameras outside your community have no sound, which only proves that Zhao Shanshan contacted you."
“But the surveillance footage can prove that Zhaoyang didn’t hit her, and that’s enough,” Song Yuqin said. “Zhaoyang, you’re a homeowner, go check the surveillance footage at the entrance of your community. I’ll contact the vice president and prepare to hold a board meeting.”
"Hmm." Li Zhaoyang wanted to say that it didn't need to go to so much trouble.
Because he will soon be able to obtain evidence of Zhao Shanshan's crimes.
Either tonight, or at the latest tomorrow morning.

“Director… Dad, supervisor.” Bian Ling’er appeared in the office area.
"What are you doing here?" Manager Bian pulled her back to the artist department.
"Teacher Zhaoyang has prepared a new song, right? I can sing anything that An Lan can sing, so I'll record it."
"What's the point of recording? Now is not the time to release a new song, and Zhaoyang won't be recording either." Manager Bian didn't want his daughter to get involved.
"Supervisor, Dad! Teacher Zhaoyang made me famous. You used to teach me that one should never forget one's roots and that one shouldn't try to avoid danger just because something happened, right?"
"I……"
Manager Bian was speechless, then looked at Li Zhaoyang and asked, "Zhaoyang, now that public opinion is escalating, are you still going to release a new song?"
