Chapter 30: Diverting Firepower



If it were anyone else, Zhou Liuan would have thought they were being deliberately sarcastic, using various tactics to impress upon them the power of a wealthy family. But the person who said this was his beloved sister.

Zhou Man saw that his expression was so sincere, not malicious sarcasm, but blessings from the bottom of her heart.

One cannot hit or scold one's own sister, and one must even coax her with gentle words. Zhou Liuan felt extremely frustrated.

He tried hard to put on a gentle expression. "Manman, don't listen to those unethical marketing accounts. They and I aren't in that kind of relationship. We just accidentally fell down the stairs, that's all!"

"Huh?" Zhou Man looked surprised. Is that so?

"But, you kissed for more than a minute." She watched the video several times, and it lasted a full minute and twelve seconds. If it wasn't accidental, it would have come quickly, right?

Zhou Liuan couldn't help but reveal a distorted expression, "That's because I was hurt when I fell."

Zhou Man said with a guilty look on her face: "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't know and used my own thoughts to speculate about you."

Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least the second brother was unwilling to admit it now. Zhou Man naturally followed his words.

Zhou Liuan gritted his teeth, "It's all the fault of those hateful marketing accounts! I'm going to sue them until they're bankrupt!"

Because Zhou Liuan's family is rich, he used to bribe marketing accounts to discredit his opponents, but when he became the one being discredited, he couldn't stand it anymore.

He hadn't even finished breakfast when his agent called him urgently, saying the online reputation was very unfavorable to him. Modern netizens were rebellious, and his account being blocked had only made the situation worse.

[The best way now is to create a bigger incident to divert the focus.]

Zhou Liuan said with a cold expression, "Then bribe a few paparazzi and let them reveal other information.

The downside of being a top star is evident at this point. Unless the person being exposed is well-known enough and the scandal is explosive enough, it won't even distract netizens. And celebrities of this caliber are generally willing to pay a high price to buy their own scandals from the paparazzi.

Zhou Liuan's agent had quite a few connections, and he finally found one successfully.

Under the influence of money, that night, the news that the popular movie star not only secretly married and had children, but also cheated on his wife with more than six actresses became the number one trending search.

The actor had previously been portrayed as a self-disciplined, socially anxious, and uneasy with girls, but this time his image completely collapsed. Many of the actresses implicated, to protect their reputations, insisted they were the victims of mistresses and came forward as victims to denounce the actor.

Their fans were fighting each other, with short essays flying everywhere.

Under such circumstances, although there are still people paying attention to Zhou Liuan, the number of them is obviously much smaller.

Zhou Liuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he couldn't be happy either. He'd spent fifty million to acquire the actor's profile, and with that, the PR expenses, the past six months had been wasted.

Those paparazzi are so hateful!

I'll settle accounts with them after the storm has passed.

Because Zhou Liuan was in such a hurry, he had no time to erase the traces of his actions. Actor Zhang, who was already overwhelmed by the scandal, also learned of Zhou Liuan's actions through his own connections.

This scandal completely shattered actor Zhang's sterling image. He lost over a dozen endorsements in a single day, prompting calls for a ban on such immoral individuals to rectify the entertainment industry. Many brands demanded exorbitant compensation from him. It's safe to say Zhang's direct losses exceeded 1 billion yuan, with significant indirect losses as well. Several major projects he had been working on fell through the cracks.

And all this is Zhou Liuan's fault.

If it were anyone else, Film Emperor Zhang and the investors behind him would have immediately crushed him. But Zhou Liuan was a son of a wealthy family, so Film Emperor Zhang didn't dare to use those methods to punish him.

He simply gritted his teeth and bribed a lot of paparazzi to keep an eye on Zhou Liuan around the clock, ready to find an opportunity to ruin his reputation.

Zhou Liu'an had no idea that his careless actions had planted a minefield for his future. In his eyes, celebrities in the entertainment industry were nothing more than actors, like playthings in ancient times. It was an honor for them to be able to serve as a stepping stone for him. With his family background, as long as he didn't openly break the law, no one could do anything to him.

Besides, he can succeed because Actor Zhang has no personal ethics. He is trying to prevent his fans from being deceived by him, and they should thank him.

He thought that it was not enough for him to clarify things, and he should ask Yin Ze and Shi Jinglong to come forward to clarify as well.

By the way, they can announce to the public that they like Shi Miao and that they went to the hospital with him just to pursue Shi Miao.

Having two wealthy young masters pursuing her was enough to satisfy Shi Miao's vanity. After the outside world's voices became louder, she might have agreed.

Shi Miao casually used a peach blossom miasma, causing Zhou Liuan to suffer heavy losses, and in the short term he couldn't do these things. She was still in a very happy mood.

"My second cousin lost more than 100 million this time. I heard that he got angry several times at home." Wen Yanshan gossiped about this with Shi Miao.

"We all doubt whether our second cousin really likes Yin Ze. They had a great time together some time ago." Wen Yanshan has a good personality, and the sisters in the circle are willing to share gossip with her, so she is quite well-informed about the news in this regard.

As she said this, she saw Shi Miao had a dazed expression.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Shi Miao deliberately looked embarrassed, "Are they a couple?"
