Far away in Europe, Jin Shiyue, who was watching the live broadcast with Jiang Yage, felt the phone in her palm vibrate.
She turned the phone slightly and picked it up to take a look. It was Chen Guang's name.
There was a hint of joy on her face, and she looked at Jiang Yage, who was staring at the screen impatiently and anxiously next to her.
"Why hasn't it started yet? This damn fatty is so annoying, what is he trying to do! Why didn't grandpa let us take care of it? Otherwise, how could this damn fatty jump around until now? Sister Shiyue, don't you think so? "
Jiang Yage tapped the mouse impatiently and asked Jin Shiyue casually.
Jin Shiyue was a little absent-minded. "Don't worry, he definitely has a way. I'm going to the toilet."
After that, Jin Shiyue hid the joy in her heart and quietly ran to the bathroom of the hotel private room.
The two of them rushed here yesterday to record a song, but Jin Shiyue knew that it was very likely that the elders deliberately arranged for her and Jiang Yage to be separated.
The things that the old masters wanted to do should be more or less done by now.
She just didn't know why Chen Guang sent her a WeChat message at this time?
What was he planning to do?
But no matter what, at this special time, since the person in his mind was her, it meant that he might be about to accept her as his girlfriend, right?
Although this might be a little unfair to Jiang Yage, Jin Shiyue really couldn't control the joy in her heart until she opened WeChat and saw the three words from Chen Guang.
"I'm sorry."
Concise and comprehensive, everything was said without words, there was no need to say anything more.
Jin Shiyue was smart, she understood everything in an instant.
Her body was a little weak, and her head was buzzing, as if she couldn't even hold the phone.
After waiting for a long time, she sat down next to Jiang Yage with a pale face.
"Sister Shiyue, what's wrong?" Jiang Yage saw her pale face and thought she was not feeling well. "Why don't you go to sleep first? Our biological clock hasn't been reversed yet."
Jin Shiyue shook her head. "I'm fine. I just bumped my leg in the toilet. It hurts a little."
As she spoke, she turned her face away, not daring to face Jiang Yage.
Was this retribution?
That must be it. Fate must have played a big joke on him.
Perhaps she and Solomon had fallen in love with him at the same time, but Solomon was the first one to say it out loud.
She had always been like a thief, carefully approaching Chen Guang little by little, and finally pretending to be his girlfriend in public.
It seemed like she was selflessly helping him, but in fact, she was bullying Solomon for being naive and pure. She couldn't think of her own dirty and selfish thoughts.
I almost succeeded, and I was even secretly happy just now.
Now that I think about it, I've failed to live up to Solomon's trust. Now that I've been rejected by him, it's only natural. I deserve it, right?
Jin Shiyue clenched her hand tighter and tighter, wishing she could dig her nails into her flesh.
"Sister Shiyue, why are you crying?"
"No, sand got in." Jin Shiyue smiled. "The press conference is about to begin. Let's see what Zhuo Wei is going to say."
In the live broadcast, Zhuo Wei, who had already calmed down, walked out. He looked a little haggard.
Whether it was the live broadcast platform or the live broadcast camera of Dachuan Satellite TV Entertainment Channel, they were all pointed at him.
In the huge press conference hall, many media people looked at their former peer, who was now sitting on the podium of the press conference, feeling a little jealous.
Regardless of whether Chen Guang reached a compromise with him or not, Zhuo Wei would be the final winner.
Or, he could earn a large sum of money in private, and then earn a reputation in the industry that could cover the sky with one hand.
Who wouldn't be afraid of him in the future?
Even Jin Shiyue's boyfriend could be ruined by him. Even the rising number one Internet celebrity in China was convinced by him. Who wouldn't be afraid?
If the two of them didn't compromise, he would really fight to the death with Chen Guang.
Perhaps he wouldn't be able to get any money from Chen Guang, but it would show the power of the underworld in the entertainment industry. In the future, if others didn't want to repeat Chen Guang's mistakes, they would have to think twice when facing him.
Many entertainment reporters were even envious of Zhuo Wei. He was a typical example of how bold a person was, how much money he could make.
"Boss, it's about time."
Lu Xiaoliang, who was sitting next to the podium, reminded him in a low voice. He pushed a stack of materials he had already written in front of Zhuo Wei.
Zhuo Wei looked coldly at the young man he had promoted. "You already knew about it, right?"
Comrade Xiao Lu nodded. "Yes, Mr. Liu told me last night. I'm sorry."
"Sigh, you don't have to apologize to me. If I encountered such a thing, I would have done more than you did. I deserve it."
"Actually, I want to be a good reporter."
"When I was young, I thought so too."
Zhuo Wei waved his hand and picked up the materials on the table. He switched on the microphone and coughed lightly. "Everyone, I will now tell you everything that has happened over the past few days. First, please allow me to express my sincerest apologies to Mr. Chen Guang!"
What!
The countless viewers in front of their televisions and computers were in an uproar.
Hey! Didn't you say yesterday that there was going to be some juicy news about Chen Guang?
What's the point of apologizing?
Are you f * cking kidding me?
Especially those who had been following the trend of defaming Chen Guang for the past few days. They simply couldn't accept this sentence.
These people in front of their televisions and computers roared angrily.
"For the past few days, I haven't eaten, drank, slept, or rested. In order to uphold justice, to expose that shameless Chen Guang, I've turned myself into tap water. I've posted hundreds of thousands of posts on Weibo. I've gone to all the celebrities' Weibo accounts to leave a message saying that Goddess Moonlight has been bullied. F * ck, aren't you and Goddess Moonlight friends? Aren't you best friends? Hurry up and help her! In the end, the first sentence of your bullsh * t press conference is to apologize to him? What the f * ck do you think we are! "
His companion beside him consoled him. "Zhuo Wei must have taken Chen Guang's money! That's right! Chen Guang bribed him with money! "
"You mean to say that we didn't even live our own lives for the past few days. Instead, we followed along and defamed Zhuo Wei on the Internet and helped him earn money?"
"Maybe, maybe, maybe that's the case."
"F * ck! B * stard! B * stard! "
"But it's not completely useless. There were so many reports on the Internet and they were all well-written. Chen Guang must be a rotten person. There's nothing wrong with boycotting him!"
"That's right, that must be the case!"
Many of the reporters at the press conference were not as angry as the general public. They were all from the media and knew what kind of people they were. They had already guessed that Zhuo Wei would reverse the verdict at the last minute today, and it turned out to be true.
Sigh, it's really pointless to think about it. I actually believed that Zhuo Wei would expose the truth at the press conference. How is that possible?
Which one of us in the media isn't greedy for money?
As long as you're willing to pay, I can even blow your tap water into bejeweled nectar. What's a little scandal about a celebrity like Chen Guang?
Luckily, we had a backup plan. Many of the reporters had already lowered their heads and sent text messages to the media companies or marketing accounts behind them that it was about time to publish their articles.
The general gist was that Zhuo Wei had reversed the verdict at the last minute at the press conference from exposing the truth to a whitewash. But since Chen Guang had already been defamed to this extent, it wasn't something that could be whitewashed just because you wanted to. If you eat the meat, we should at least drink the soup, right?
"Everyone, don't rush to publish your articles. Why don't you hear me out first?"
Seeing the people below the stage lowering their heads and fiddling with their phones, how could Zhuo Wei not know what they were doing? He hurriedly reminded them.
"I say, Fatty Zhuo, forget it. You can earn your own money, but don't stop us from writing our reports. You have your own explanation, and it's up to us whether we want to listen to it or not. We're not your paid troll army, and we have our own judgment as media personnel. You can continue to help Chen Guang clear his name. We'll just listen to it. Everyone knows what's going on."
A young reporter sitting in the middle of the conference room rudely stood up from the crowd and questioned Zhuo Wei loudly. Perhaps he was in a hurry to become famous and wanted to show off.
This young man didn't know any better. Although these were the unspoken rules of the industry, it wasn't giving him face to say it out loud.
However, everyone was curious as to how Zhuo Wei was going to deal with this young man.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Wei didn't look angry at all on the stage. It was as though he had made up his mind. "Do you think I accepted Chen Guang's money? To tell you the truth, I didn't accept a single cent! This press conference is my personal confession! "
"Confession? Fatty Zhuo, you're really into it! "
This time, even the veteran entertainment reporters sitting in the front row couldn't hold themselves back. Just how much money did Chen Guang give? Fatty Zhuo was willing to throw away his pride to reverse Chen Guang's verdict.
"Everyone, please be quiet. It's not time for questions yet. If you want to cause trouble again, get out!" Zhuo Wei began to panic when he saw that the situation was getting out of hand. He remembered very clearly that Liu Chao had said that he had to clear Chen Guang's name today.
This time, the people below the stage finally settled down. Even though they knew what he was going to do next, they still wanted to see how he was going to clear his name.
"I believe many people in the industry know about my conflict with Chen Guang. Here, I would like to apologize to Mr. Chen Guang once again!"
The people below the stage sneered disdainfully. Alright, you don't have to apologize. It's useless. They all know that you accepted money anyway.
"At that time, during Chen Guang's press conference, I made a very excessive request. I asked him to pay me two million RMB as a settlement fee. He righteously rejected me."
Zhuo Wei didn't care about the expressions of the people below and continued.
"What? Did we hear wrongly? "
"What the hell!"
The audience in front of their computers and televisions were also dumbfounded. Although they had thought that Zhuo Wei would blackmail Chen Guang into paying, he said it himself. He didn't even try to hide the amount. Wasn't he trying too hard?
He was suspected of extortion!
"But after being rejected by him, I bore a grudge. That night, I sent several employees of Eight Weekly to collude with the local hooligans in Wenxing Town to secretly take pictures of Mr. Chen. In the end, they were discovered by the enthusiastic people and called the police. Now, the three employees of Eight Weekly are still in custody."
Many reporters were even more dumbfounded. Whether it was entertainment reporters, legal reporters, or financial reporters, they were all stunned by Zhuo Wei's almost self-destructive behavior. Although everyone had guessed these things, this was a live broadcast, a national broadcast!
What are you trying to do? How can you say it out loud in front of everyone?
Do you still want to work in this industry in the future?
Didn't Chen Guang give you a hundred million RMB?
Do you have to be so desperate?
Everyone gradually began to feel that something was wrong. Zhuo Wei's performance was beyond imagination. This was completely different from the bleaching process they had guessed.
"After the first three employees were arrested, I bore a grudge and began to arrange for the employees of Eight Weekly to fabricate fake news to maliciously smear Chen Guang online. I maliciously smeared Chen Guang's past achievements out of context and falsely accused Chen Guang of having an inappropriate relationship with his classmates and class counselor. Below is a recording of me instructing my employees to fabricate fake news. Everyone, please listen. "
"Re-edit the video of him sharpening his pencil! Deliberately insert a fault in it! Do you hear me? Make the video look fake! Even if it's real, make it look fake! Then write an analysis article for me based on the fake video! What? You don't know how to edit videos? Are you stupid? Don't you know how to use Baidu? Anyway, you just need to make it look real. How many netizens will really understand it? All you need to do is to fool those idiots, do you understand? I'll beat you to death if you spout any more nonsense! "
"Just make up a few high ranking players from the Celestial Stairway of Dota. That's right, just pull out a few high ranking players from the foreign servers and write a proper interview. Say that Chen Guang was actually their substitute for Dota! What, you're saying that Chen Guang's level is too high, and no one can substitute him? Are you being stupid with me? Who the f * ck cares how high his level is? If I say it's a substitute, then it's a substitute. Do you understand? "
"I don't need to tell you how to play the piano, right? You know how to do it, right? You said his fingers were completely in sync with the audio track? Can't you cut it at the wrong position? If you say another word of nonsense, I'll pack up and leave! "
In this recording that lasted more than half an hour, Zhuo Wei perfectly demonstrated his "professional standards." He was really good at deliberately discrediting and creating fake news.
Actually, many people who followed the trend to discredit Chen Guang did not even go to Chen Guang's Weibo and click on his previous videos. They only saw those specious fake analysis and fake technical articles online and thought that they really saw the truth.
As the recording was played bit by bit, the netizens in front of their televisions and computers finally realized a rather sad thing. They thought that they were upholding justice, but in fact, it was because they were too stupid and lacked the ability to think independently that they were played by Zhuo Wei.
The reporters at the press conference were even more terrified than the audience. They were all media personnel and understood Zhuo Wei's way of doing things.
But how could you say it in front of everyone?
You, Zhuo Wei, are the famous number one paparazzi in China!
There had never been a media personnel like him, displaying the ugliest side of the media in such a crazy way in front of everyone in a live broadcast.
It was as if he wanted to tear off the mask that all media personnel relied on to survive and directly expose the filth and ugliness of this industry to the light!
