Various marketing accounts offered a variety of colorful and conflicting explanations. However, they all shared the same central message: Ye Chu had signed with a shady company and been scammed.
This kind of thing is all too common in the entertainment industry worldwide. Countless artists in the Chinese entertainment industry have clashed with their companies, so it's only natural that Ye Chu, a newcomer, would be taken advantage of by an unscrupulous boss. Coupled with the scene of Ye Chu alone, shedding tears in the cold night, it seems to make sense.
Of course, the resourceful netizens weren't satisfied with that, and soon they dug up new information.
[Holy crap! I checked, and Ye Chu's company is called Qingping Entertainment. It really is a shady company!]
[Yes, yes, I saw it too. Besides Ye Chu, they only signed six obscure, unknown artists...]
Why did Ye Chu sign with such a company? Was she drunk?
[It's said to be because of dreams or something...]
【Dream? Huh? Huh? Huh?】
[It's true. My friend is practically in the industry. He said Ye Chu only became famous after playing many minor roles because she was too clean and unwilling to be subjected to unspoken rules. Then, the boss of Qingping Entertainment was a woman who promised to protect Ye Chu. Ye Chu signed on impulsively...]
Holy crap...
【No way, you believe everything I say? I could say I know Ye Chu too】
I'm not lying to you. Look at my profile; I'm not a fan of Ye Chu.
[Isn't Ye Chu too naive? She believed everything the boss said?]
I also know some of the artists at Qingping Entertainment. I've heard their boss really doesn't take the shady route of unspoken rules; he'd rather have an unknown artist fail than rely on nepotism. Ye Chu choosing her is perfectly normal.
[This boss seems like a nice person, so why did Ye Chu sue her?]
[Not engaging in nepotism doesn't mean she's a saint... This boss is ruthless in exploiting his employees. I've seen the contract Ye Chu signed; it's practically selling herself to her.]
[I need the contract from the person upstairs!]
[Me too!]
[Same request +1]
Stop spreading rumors. Ye Chu isn't that brainless. Besides the fact that the boss of Qingping Entertainment promised to protect her, it's also because she gave Ye Chu shares!
[What shares? This whole thing is getting more and more confusing!]
The entertainment industry has been incredibly boring lately. "The Legend of Qingyun" has finished its melodramatic finale, and the hype surrounding "Yun Qing Ji" is gradually fading. Su Ge's "Love's Chocolate Toast," after a small initial hit, has been a complete flop, utterly discredited by its own producers. Films released during the Lunar New Year season have also been pulled from theaters. In short, it's a scene of utter desolation.
Shang Yechu's scandal came at just the right time. Thanks to "Yun Qing Ji," she is now a well-known celebrity. Coupled with keywords that the public easily pays attention to, such as "relationship" and "lawsuit," and with Ji Juntao's help, she easily climbed to the top of the trending searches.

Netizens transformed into Sherlock Holmes detectives, digging into the various past events involving Shang Yechu and the entertainment company.
In the internet age, very little can truly be hidden. Soon, Qingping Entertainment's entire family history was exposed.
Wow, Ye Chu is really a shareholder of Qingping Entertainment...
What can you do with 2.6% of the shares? You have absolutely no say in the matter.
Is the contract circulating online genuine? The signature looks a bit like Ye Chu's handwriting.
[If this is true, it's terrible. Ye Chu can't refuse any scripts that Qingping Entertainment asks her to film, otherwise it would be a breach of contract...]
[Ugh, so infuriating! Capitalists are all like this; they're full of ideals, morality, and justice when they're trying to get you to join them, but once you're on board, their true colors are revealed!]
Let me break it down: Ye Chu didn't want to get involved in the messy affairs of the entertainment industry, so she wanted to be the second boss of the company, which is why she signed with Qingping Entertainment; but she got scammed. Although she had shares, she was no match for the big boss, and she couldn't refuse the roles the company found for her...
[Poor kid, I feel sorry for him.]
Idealists always end up getting hurt in this world...
[Ugh, I feel like crying! I thought I could finally make my own decisions, but it turns out I just got stuck on another sinking ship!]
Let's not overthink it, everyone. That contract online doesn't even have an official seal.
[!!! Everyone, look at this! Netizens just dug up a photo of the CEO of Qingping Entertainment! She's the woman who pulled Ye Chu in the video!!!]
【...Oh my god.】
I believe it.
[Oh, no wonder! No wonder I felt her pulling at Ye Chu was so rough, and Ye Chu kept crying, as if she really didn't want to go in with her.]
[Yes, yes, yes! They were pushing and shoving each other, and Ye Chu kept wiping away tears, while her expression was fierce and menacing!]
[It's like those old-fashioned landlord wives in movies; even though Ye Chu has escaped, they still chase after her...]
So why did she follow Ye Chu to the place where he was filming a movie?
