"Life is fleeting, life is fleeting, this time you're in for a world of hurt."
"I'm now eager to know what kind of expression that guy has right now."
"We've handled this matter flawlessly, and even if someone has doubts, they won't be able to produce any evidence."
Zhu Yan, Professor Cai, and Professor Hao gathered together, drinking and eating snacks. They were in high spirits, and there was no trace of their previous bad luck.
Currently, a heated online battle has erupted on Weibo.
A large number of students from Washington State flocked to Fusheng's Weibo account to hurl insults and questions, demanding a public apology from him.
Fusheng's fans were naturally unhappy and started arguing with these students, attracting a large number of onlookers.
Fusheng's Weibo followers peaked at over 40 million, but with the outbreak of this incident, his follower count plummeted to less than 10 million.
The vast majority of these lost fans came from Washington State, while some were misled by public opinion and felt that Fusheng's character was flawed, so they became indifferent instead of fans.
"If I were Fusheng, I probably would have come out to apologize long ago."
"He's still young. Now most of Washington State is speaking out on Weibo. If he doesn't step up to quell public anger, it might affect his career."
"Even the entertainment company behind him will be affected. I heard that Tianrui's market value evaporated by 1 billion yuan when the market opened today."
"I bet Fusheng's boss would love to kill him right now."
The higher you're lifted up, the harder you'll fall.
"You reap what you sow. It's one thing to play music, but you have to cross over into literature."
"What should we do if he actually comes out and apologizes?"
Professor Cai asked a question out of curiosity.
"I've thought about this, and my stance is the same: I'll deny it to the death."
Zhu Yan looked as if he had everything under control.
At this point, Zhu Yan seemed to remember something and frowned slightly: "I've always suspected that someone is secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes."
"I feel the same way."
Professor Hao nodded and said, "We've had it too easy this time, almost unbelievably so. And I've even started to have a thought."
What are your thoughts?
Zhu Yan and Professor Cai immediately looked up at Professor Hao.
"Have you noticed? As soon as we start, the rest of the dirty and hard work is immediately taken care of by others, and they do it perfectly, with excellent results."
"This is definitely not something an individual could accomplish; I suspect there's a team pulling the strings behind the scenes."
Professor Hao's eyes flickered.
"This makes me even more certain that there is a force at work behind the scenes."
"It could be targeting Fusheng, or it could be targeting Tianrui Entertainment."
"But no matter who its ultimate target is, it is on the same path as us. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so we don't need to investigate it too deeply."
Zhu Yan tapped his index finger lightly on the table, sneering repeatedly: "This time, let's see how Fusheng turns the tables."
…
Xiazhou.
Tianrui Entertainment Company.
“President Zhou, look at this mess. Lin Rui must apologize on Weibo. This has seriously affected the daily lives of our artists.”
He Qing loudly complained to Xu Jinmao.
In fact, they are both in a great mood right now.
We've been waiting for this day!
Because Lin Yueyin, Yang Qing, He Qing, and Xu Jinmao are, to some extent, on the opposite side of Lin Rui.
Since the public outcry on Weibo, they have been celebrating privately quite a bit, almost to the point of holding a wedding banquet to show off their achievements.
"Apologize? Apologize for what?"
Luo Qi stepped forward and sneered, "Tell me, what did Lin Rui do wrong that he needs to apologize to those pedantic scholars?"
"It's no use telling us that."
He Qing said earnestly, "Luo Qi, I know you have a good relationship with Lin Rui, and Lin Rui has made great contributions to the company, but that cannot be a reason to protect him."
"As a public figure, one must be careful with every word and action. Now look what's happened, such a huge commotion, how much trouble has it brought to the company?"
"It's just a matter of admitting fault and apologizing, what's the big deal?"
"If it were me, I would stand up immediately to clarify the misunderstanding and quell public anger."
Hearing He Qing's disgraceful remarks, Luo Qi was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "He Qing, stop talking nonsense."
"Team Leader He, everyone knows the truth. I don't think Xiao Rui did anything wrong," Zheng Jing said coldly.
He Qing remained calm and said earnestly, "Xiao Zheng, I know you and Lin Rui have a good personal relationship, but personal matters are personal matters and public matters are public matters. Regardless of who is right or wrong in this matter, the most urgent task is to quell the current negative impact on the company as soon as possible."
"Hypocritical and shameless."
Luo Qi muttered something.
"Team Leader Luo, let's stick to the facts and stop making personal attacks!"
Xu Jinmao said with a smile.
"you…"
"alright!"
Zhou Rongze slammed his hand on the table.
Everyone present was startled, clearly not expecting Zhou Rongze to suddenly lose his temper.
"What do you take this place for? A place just for arguing? Get out, all of you! This is none of your business!"
Enraged, Zhou Rongze kicked He Qing and the others out.
Snap!
He slammed the door shut, ignoring the arguing outside, and lit a cigarette, feeling agitated.
Tianrui Entertainment has indeed suffered serious losses this time, and many shareholders have called to inquire about the details.
These shareholders may not necessarily approve of Lin Rui, but they definitely approve of Zhou Rongze, so they didn't say much, only that they had some reservations about Lin Rui's behavior.
"Lin Rui, how do you plan to handle this?"
After extinguishing his cigarette, Zhou Rongze called Lin Rui.
At this moment, Lin Rui is painting a traditional Chinese ink painting.
On the left is a huge rock, and on the right are several green bamboos. The bamboo stalks lean slightly to the right, which looks like the rock is blocking half of the bamboo, or like the bamboo is breaking through the soil from the rock.
"I'm going to share my thoughts on Weibo."
Lin Rui gently put down his paintbrush.
Are you going to issue an apology?
Zhou Rongze frowned slightly: "Lin Rui, you did nothing wrong, why apologize? Someone must have been secretly stirring things up. Give me some time, I will definitely investigate and find out the truth."
"Even if the sky falls, there are tall people in front to hold it up. Don't think nonsense, understand?"
"I never intended to apologize."
Lin Rui said calmly, "I just wanted to respond to them in my own way."
Is this appropriate?
Zhou Rongze frowned even more deeply.
Zhou Rongze knew the whole story perfectly well.
He didn't think Lin Rui had done anything wrong; a simple "I'm too busy" reply would never have led to this situation.
The only explanation is that someone is deliberately smearing Lin Rui behind the scenes and using public opinion to push him into the eye of the storm.
It is certain that Lin Rui played the role of a victim in this public opinion storm.
However, Zhou Rongze was worried that Lin Rui was young and impetuous, and that he might accidentally say something wrong, giving others something to criticize, which would be a loss.
"President Zhou, please rest assured, I have a plan."
Lin Rui's gaze narrowed slightly. After a night of reflection, he had come to his senses from the anger of being cyberbullied.
Perhaps it was the improvement in his health that led to a significant improvement in his body, allowing Lin Rui to gradually resist the instincts left over from his previous life.
For example, this time, he should have been furious, but he actually managed to control his emotions.
Compared to my previous life, this is a huge improvement.
Perhaps one day, he will be able to completely overcome the influence of his past life and then appear in the spotlight.
"Since you've made your decision, I'll stick to my previous stance and support you unconditionally."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Remember to check out my Weibo later."
After ending the call with Zhou Rongze, Lin Rui casually took a picture of the previous painting and posted it on Weibo.
