"Tell me, what brilliant ideas do you all have to quickly get through this crisis?" The boss got straight to the point, without any preamble.
"It's hard to clear this up now, since the evidence is conclusive. Why don't we just make it official?" a senior planner suggested in a low voice.
Wei Changfeng, as the person involved, was also summoned to the company. At this moment, he looked like a defeated rooster, sitting dejectedly in the corner with his cane next to the chair.
Although it was a brainstorming session aimed at resolving the crisis, he felt it was more like a denunciation meeting for himself.
Hearing the planner say that, he looked up from the corner and glanced at the person, thinking to himself, what is this so-called conclusive evidence? Who did I officially announce it to? I don't even have a girlfriend.
But despite his inner complaints, he knew it was best to keep quiet at this crucial moment.
The agent, Zhao Hui, had already explained the true events of that day to everyone before the meeting. It's possible that no one present believed it, let alone the fans.
Wei Changfeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He didn't even realize it himself. Because the room was too quiet after the project presentation, his sigh was particularly noticeable in the empty room.
The boss glanced at him and slowly said, "Changfeng, what's your opinion? How can we minimize the impact on fans, the market, and the brand? Also, I just received a call from Director Xu, who said there's no rush to schedule a meeting."
"It's over," before Wei Changfeng could say anything, his agent Zhao Hui felt his heart sink.
It seems that the cooperation opportunity I've been looking forward to for a year has completely fallen through.
"What kind of person is the other party?" the agent in charge of another celebrity suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Wei Changfeng's mind didn't quite process what was happening for a moment.
"So, what's that girl like? It's no use just discussing it among ourselves. Isn't she supposed to be in the entertainment industry? It's just that her name hasn't been revealed yet."
In this situation, even if we acknowledge that we are in a normal relationship, the other side may not necessarily agree.
If they deny it again, it will be even more awkward for us.
Upon hearing this, Wu Fei felt that what was said was absolutely right! What was the use of them worrying blindly?
Fang Liheng is unlikely to cooperate with their explanation, which will put Wei Changfeng in an even more passive position.
Since it was the girls from their side who took the initiative to offer themselves soup and water, which caused this turmoil, why can one side safely hide behind the scenes while Wei Changfeng is the only one who stays at the top of the trending search list for a long time and is targeted by everyone?
He had a deep connection with Fang Liheng and knew his character, so unlike Zhao Hui, he didn't suspect that the other party's boss was the mastermind behind the scheme that led to the current situation.
But since the main characters in the scandal are both men and women, there's no reason why only one side should be criticized, right?
If we're going to be exposed, we'll be exposed together; if we're going to be criticized, we'll be criticized together; if we're going to fall, we'll fall together. Even Wu Fei felt ashamed when he came up with the last sentence. But they had to involve the other side to resolve the current crisis; only then might there be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, their side sitting in the office racking their brains wouldn't do any good!
With that thought in mind, he strode out of the conference room, closed the door, and returned to his office to make a phone call.
The remaining group of people sat in the conference room, looking at each other in an awkward atmosphere.
Someone joked with Wei Changfeng: "Little Wei, we've all been called here because of you during the New Year. How are you going to treat us to a meal to make amends?"
"Changfeng, we won't rip you off. Whatever you want, Western food or a private kitchen, Da Dong or Haidilao is fine. Let's go together after the meeting!"
Zhao Hui stepped in to help Wei Changfeng out of the predicament: "Hey everyone, isn't this trouble big enough? You were caught having an affair the day before yesterday, and not only did you not offer any explanation, but today you went out drinking and eating with the whole company? If you get caught doing this again, let's see what you all say?"
Everyone fell silent instantly. Indeed, now was not the time for a noisy gathering.
It's not the situation Zhao Hui mentioned, "if he gets photographed again," but rather that Wei Changfeng is currently being closely monitored by various media outlets. Whenever he makes a public appearance, he will be immediately surrounded, and it's "certain that he will be photographed."
When he left home today, there were two groups of media waiting in the underground parking lot, and there were also media at the company entrance. There were also some self-media people from who-knows-where who came to cause trouble.
As they were talking, the boss pushed the door open again and came in, his expression more relaxed.
"They're having a meeting on the other side too. It's only a matter of time before He Xiaomei is recognized. We have to deal with it in advance."
They said they'd brainstorm ideas, discuss them, and agree on a unified message before releasing anything; otherwise, conflicting statements would only create more trouble.
Wu Fei didn't mention some other specific details of his conversation with Boss Fang. Boss Fang found out about He Xiaomei's relationship with Wei Changfeng from her. He was surprised that the two kids had known each other for seven or eight years!
To put it kindly, they were childhood sweethearts who met when they were both struggling in the entertainment industry, and they had no contact or romantic relationship in between.
I went to inquire about Wei Changfeng's injury because I saw that he was injured, but unfortunately, it happened to be Valentine's Day.
It could also be said that because the company had arranged a business trip for He Xiaomei that required her to leave Beijing immediately, she was in a hurry to visit and comfort her old friends before leaving Beijing.
This is the mildest version of the story that came out after the brainstorming session at Qingyu Entertainment. Most of the facts are true, so there's no fear of any discrepancies later on.
After listening to this, Wu Fei also felt that, given the current situation, this was probably the best explanation.
However, it's not entirely certain whether this statement will actually appease the fans.
At that moment, a completely unexpected phone call saved Wei Changfeng's life.
