"What do you mean, 'still what'? Didn't I tell you that our boss and Mr. Fang from Qingyu Entertainment don't get along?"
Why did you have to meet with their artist during a holiday?
Boss Fang called our boss and said, "How do you manage your artists?! You're trying to seduce the young girl we just signed and are working hard to develop?"
Then the two started hurling insults at each other. If they weren't separated by a phone call, I think they might have actually come to blows!
Wei Changfeng felt even more troubled than when he saw himself at the top of the trending search list.
Boss Fang said he seduced He Xiaomei, and their boss probably wouldn't say anything good about it either.
Should I call He Xiaomei now and ask? No, what if her boss already has her number and is waiting for her to walk right into his trap?
In critical moments, it's perfectly normal to drag other artists, especially those from rival companies, into the mess to clear their own names.
Oh well, never mind, I'll just ask He Xiaomei about her situation.
The call was answered quickly, and He Xiaomei was sniffing.
"We got scolded? I got scolded terribly too. We're both innocent victims," Wei Changfeng said.
"Now we're finally in the same boat, aren't we?" There was a hint of joy in He Xiaomei's voice.
"You didn't cry from being scolded?"
"I did catch a bit of a cold. When Hao drove me back, I waited for a taxi on the side of the road for a long time and got cold."
“I can’t move my legs, so I can’t drive. I asked Xiaohao to drive you home, but he came back and said you took a taxi home, and I already scolded him for that.”
"Hey, don't scold him. Hao-ge said he was going to drive me from the underground parking lot, but I insisted on taking a taxi home so he could come upstairs and take care of you sooner. Really!"
Although he was badly implicated in this scandal, Wei Changfeng still felt somewhat apologetic after hearing He Xiaomei's words.
After all, it was he who agreed to let He Xiaomei go upstairs with them, which is why they were photographed by paparazzi who had been staking out the place for some time.
If I had been more ruthless back then, none of this would have happened.
"What do we do now? I'm not famous, and I haven't been mentioned in the news. It's just that people in my company recognized me."
It must be quite troublesome on your end, right? I saw online that your fan club has disbanded? Is it that serious?
Wei Changfeng thought to himself, "If I had known this would happen, would you still have insisted on delivering soup to my house?"
But since they had only known each other when they were both struggling, they couldn't bring themselves to say such accusations.
"Never mind that. If the media contacts you, just deny it outright."
I don't know if the paparazzi didn't recognize her, or if they did but deliberately didn't mention her name.
Logically speaking, He Xiaomei has acted in several dramas, and although she wasn't the lead, she was still somewhat famous.
Zhao Hui just asked him if He Xiaomei might have deliberately set a trap?
Actually, she had already contacted paparazzi, who were lying in wait there, and then pretended to deliver soup so that they could be photographed.
Being paired with Wei Changfeng as a Valentine's Day couple will immediately make them trend on social media and instantly make them famous, with a promotional effect even greater than filming two dramas.
Even though you might get criticized, talked about by passersby, or attacked by Wei Changfeng's fans, being infamous is still being famous!
Wei Changfeng said that if He Xiaomei were that kind of person, she wouldn't have been unable to get a leading role for several years.
If he wanted to tie her up, he would have done it already. Why wait until now? He had always trusted that girl's character.
Zhao Hui then asked, "Or was it not her own intention, but rather a scheme orchestrated behind the scenes by her agency?"
Wei Changfeng said, "Who was it that told me that Boss Fang of Qingyu was a rare upright person in the industry?"
Zhao Hui was stumped by the question. After thinking for a moment, he said, "People always change. Maybe Boss Fang saw that He Xiaomei couldn't become popular and found out about your friendship, so he deliberately pulled this stunt."
Suddenly, the entire internet is focused on who the woman is. When the news breaks, we can pair it with a set of pre-prepared photos of He Xiaomei, and everyone will remember her instantly, saving us a fortune in PR costs.
"Then why did Boss Fang still argue with our General Manager Wu?" Wei Changfeng clearly didn't believe it.
"If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. You have to appear really angry to clear yourself of suspicion as the mastermind behind it all."
Wei Changfeng thought for a long time after hanging up the phone, and Zhao Hui's suspicions were not entirely impossible.
He had seen and heard far too many things in this circle where people would abandon their conscience and disregard their shame in order to become famous and make money.
However, he still wanted to believe that He Xiaomei was absolutely innocent in this matter.
Even if there were paparazzi lurking in his underground parking garage, it couldn't have been He Xiaomei who contacted them beforehand.
As for her boss? After all, Wei Changfeng had never met him or had any dealings with him, so he couldn't judge for the time being.
Even if Zhao Hui was a rare upright person in the past, as he said, and would not engage in deception, it does not mean that he is still the same now.
Having been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, and having a large number of artists and staff under his command, he may have already changed his survival strategy.
Wei Changfeng asked He Xiaomei how she could accurately find the neighborhood and even the building where she was waiting yesterday, since she had never been to his house before.
"Brother, please don't be angry when I tell you, okay?" He Xiaomei asked tentatively.
"It's okay, just tell me." He Xiaomei had asked him directly before.
He knew that the girl had feelings for him since they moved to Beijing, but now they worked for different companies, and work was his top priority, so he had no other thoughts about her.
He only treated He Xiaomei like a younger sister, and that was probably how he felt back then. Although they got along very well, he didn't feel any romantic feelings for her at all.
