The night Liang Ruo left the team, astar posted a Weibo post.
The content was very long. In general, there were three points: Correct the attitude of the high-level sexual assault case and promise to cooperate with the investigation; Terminate the contract peacefully with Liang Ruo and give her blessings; Rectify the company's atmosphere and give astar a bright future.
Although there was a lot of criticism, fortunately, the attitude was correct and the statement was timely. Previously, the netizens were still worried about Liang Ruo's contract. When they saw astar directly terminate the contract, they felt that they did a good thing.
After such a thing happened, doubts and abuse were inevitable. However, there were also many voices that did not want to implicate the entire company because of a high-level executive. In addition to speaking out, astar also set up an anti-sexual assault foundation in the industry. There was a 24-hour consultation phone line to provide money and legal aid to anyone who needed help. This move greatly improved the netizens' impression of the company and the artists in the same company were also much less harsh.
That night, Fang Juexia received a call from Li Luo. He did not expect that Li Luo would have time to call him when astar was in an emergency.
"Director Li, hello."
Fang Juexia was still the same Fang Juexia. Just like when he was in the trainee audition, he was extremely calm and his tone was unperturbed. When everyone was timid and hesitant to show their talent, Fang Juexia stood there and shone.
"My call came very late." On the other end of the phone, Li Luo's tone was a little guilty. "In the end, I didn't have the ability to uphold justice back then and let this matter drag on for so long. The subsequent damage to you may never be able to be made up for."
Hearing him say this, Fang Juexia remembered the time when he was hot-blooded and knocked on Li Luo's office door.
At that time, he was too naive. He thought that everyone had the right to punish the high-level sexual assault case and that everyone must know what was right and wrong. But so what if they knew? The criminal was in power, which meant that no one had the right to punish him. Even Li Luo at that time could only be silent.
Fang Juexia studied mathematics, and mathematics was the paradise of idealists. He was one of them. He was used to facing the logical world built by mathematics. It was simple and direct. Everything could be deduced and verified on the surface. The results would not be specious. Once a theorem was proven, it could be categorized as absolutely correct.
However, they were not numbers, nor were they theorems. They were people.
In the complicated human world, how many things were "absolutely correct"?
"No, Director Li." Fang Juexia smiled magnanimously, "I was too idealistic. I am very grateful to you for your promotion and help. I will never forget it. Astar is the place I started from. Although it doesn't suit me, I hope it will be better in the future. "
Li Luo also smiled and said regretfully, "If I had enough power back then to protect you, your path to stardom might have been completely different. Now, you should be leading the Seven Luminaries to the peak."
Fang Juexia was indeed a reserve player of Seven Luminaries.
Every time there was a review, he would stand at the very front and calmly accept the praises of the various teachers. One after another, he would be placed on the company's internal altar. There were countless trainees in large entertainment companies. Their debut was unknown to them. It was a "possibility." Only Fang Juexia, during the two years he was in Astar, everyone was sure that he would definitely debut in a new boy group.
However, the more it was like this, the more dramatic fate became.
"But I am now a member of Kaleido." Fang Juexia was neither servile nor overbearing, "Moreover, I am not the one who can lead a team to the peak. On the contrary, I have learned a lot from everyone around me. We have walked every step of the way side by side. "
"In a way, I prefer my current state."
Li Luo did not say more. He knew that from the day this stubborn boy left Astar without hesitation, their fates would never intersect again. The so-called gratitude in the past was nothing. A person like Fang Juexia would shine no matter where he was. Moreover, the two years in Astar were exchanged for more long-term slander and doubts.
However, he was still grateful for everything in the past. It was not because he was tolerant or magnanimous.
It was because he was still unwilling to change his ego.
Fang Juexia was still an idealist, but he had found a paradise that suited him.
"Then, I wish you a better future."
On the third day after Liang Ruo left the team, Kim Hyangseong was also arrested for multiple crimes. Many netizens who watched along the way felt satisfied, but the matter was not completely over.
This was not the only case of sexual assault in the entertainment industry, and Astar was not the only entertainment company. The whole circle was full of "unwritten rules", and there were very few people like Fang Juexia who resisted. Most of them held Xing Meng's hand and became victims under coercion and temptation.
Compared to men, there were more female victims. They had no right to speak, no prominent status, and due to the pressure of public opinion and the power of capital, they could only silently endure. After Liang Ruo stood up as a model, some artists also spoke up one after another. Most of them were not very popular actors, sharing their similar but not completely identical experiences.
In addition to this industry that was exposed to the public, there were more ordinary industries that had different voices. Gradually, # Anti-sexual assault # became a hot topic. There were still people who trampled on the victims' hearts and made irrelevant sarcastic remarks, and there were still people who followed the trend.
However, there were also people who thought, and thinking was progress.
No one knew if this topic would gradually disappear as the tide of public opinion subsided, but at least at this moment, its existence was being seen by more and more people.
In the past, no one stood up, but it did not mean that this behavior was reasonable. No resistance did not mean that it was correct. Now that the voice of anti-sexual assault appeared, it was even more of a warning. There were many Liang Ruos in this industry, and many Liang Ruos who had not been saved were still struggling in the sea of bitterness.
People who were forced to lose themselves also had the right to find it again.
This autumn, Fang Juexia's life was like a typhoon. Many of the things he had painstakingly maintained were destroyed. Although he had survived it safely, what was left for him was a scene of devastation and destruction. Fortunately, he was patient enough and willing to rebuild bit by bit. He also believed that everything would always develop in a good direction.
His mother stayed with him for a week and a half. She had to go back to school for the children and could not stay for long. On the day she left Beijing, Fang Juexia and Pei Tingsong went to the airport to send her off. Mother Fang's eyes were filled with tears, and she could not bear to leave her son.
"In the past, it was always you who left me and went somewhere else." She wiped her tears. "Now that it's my turn, I'm not used to it."
Fang Juexia hugged her. "I'll go back to see you soon. Be careful at home. Let me know if there's anything."
Before she left, Mother Fang hugged Pei Tingsong and thanked him. Just like the first time, she repeatedly asked Fang Juexia to take care of his brother.
However, Fang Juexia's state of mind was already different from before. When it came to taking care of, he was the one who was taken care of.
Watching Mother Fang leave, Pei Tingsong put his hands in his pockets. "I thought that Auntie would want to see your father when she was here. I was prepared. If she said so, I would arrange it."
"She won't." Fang Juexia shook his head and looked at the sky outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window. "When she handed me all the evidence, she had already given up."
After so many years of obsession, his mother could see things clearly.
She did not love that person, but the most beautiful memories.
Just like the Fang Juexia of the past. He struggled repeatedly, but it was all for the sake of that beautiful past.
Time passed quickly. The smell of winter gradually appeared in the air. It was dry and cold. The moment it entered his nose, he felt refreshed.
Fang Juexia did not want people to think that he was trying to gain popularity. He deliberately waited for a period of time until people gradually forgot about his family and his hidden illness. Only then did he privately set up a couple of public welfare funds. One was to provide funds for genetic disease research, and the other was to help blind children.
He entrusted the establishment of the Blind Children Fund to a very reliable organization in the charity industry. The other party had also proposed to invite him to be the organization's spokesperson, but Fang Juexia rejected. He did not use his own name to set up the fund. After thinking about it, he used his grandfather's name.
If there was such a thing as good karma in the world, he hoped that it could be given to his grandfather.
Ling Yi won second place in the singing competition he participated in. It also showed everyone the strength of a male band's lead singer, breaking the usual prejudices. He Ziyan's TV series was also broadcast smoothly. After only four episodes, the ratings website gave it a good score of 8.7. Although he was the second male lead, he had a perfect persona without any bugs. After his identity was exposed, he led the public to pity him. His popularity soared.
Zhai Ying, who had not been able to make a comeback, was finally released from the freezer after the top management of ASTAR changed. He released a new album with his teammates, and the response was quite good. Although the recording of "Outlast" had ended, everyone was still very "united". They were all promoting Zhai Ying, who had been absent for a long time.
Fang Juexia was no exception. He logged in before the meeting and reposted Zhai Ying's Weibo.
[Eido Fang Juexia: You're finally back. Congratulations!]
Ling Yi complained after seeing it. "Juexia, your relationship with Xiao Ying is so good. The frequency of your interactions on Weibo is almost catching up with ours. Aren't you afraid that your girlfriend fans will be angry?"
"Girlfriend fans?" Lu Yuan laughed. "When he was interviewed last time, someone asked him what kind of girl he liked. He said seriously, 'You should ask me what kind of person I like.' That time, all his girlfriend fans ran away. Some people even said that "Outlast" was poisonous and that it should be renamed "Outlast". "
"Hahahahaha!"
Fang Juexia was a little embarrassed and could only change the topic. "No, the fans know that we're just friends."
Indeed, as he said, the fans did not care about their idol interacting with another girl group member. However, they grasped another point.
[The Best Scenery in the World: If you're a good friend, you should dance like a good friend!]
[My Hairline is Very Good: Congratulations on your return! The new main lead is super nice! Some people, don't just focus on reposting Weibo. Dancing and singing are real brothers!]
[Juexia Ge's Little Birthmark: Girl group dance! Girl group dance! Girl group dance!]
[Fang Juexia Did Girl Group Dance Today: Brother, look, I even changed your ID for you.]
[Fang Juexia's Sister Outside the Circle: Oh my god, look at how good the choreography is this time. It's so cool and beautiful. Aren't you moved by the scenery? It's better to act than to be moved! PS: Sister Zhai, can I borrow your costume?]
This development …
Who would have thought that the fans did not mind at all? They only wanted to see their idol dance. Seeing these overwhelming requests, Fang Juexia could only pretend to be dead. Anyway, he had always avoided the Internet. He did not know anything even if he asked.
Pei Tingsong was reading his comments enthusiastically. Originally, when he was surfing on his alternate account, he accidentally saw the CP clip of Fang Juexia and Zhai Ying. He was furious. He switched to his alternate account and magnanimously helped to promote it. He returned to his little white flower's Weibo and wanted to find a resonance with his wife's female fans for the first time. He did not expect that everyone would find another way and ask for the girl group dance.
This was a good idea! A door in Pei Tingsong's heart was kicked open by this group of fans. In an instant, his vision was broadened. Why did he not think of this before?
Once he accepted this setting, his mind was full of the image of Fang Juexia dancing in the girl group dance.
Looking at the comments could no longer satisfy him. He even searched for [Fang Juexia Girl Group Dance] on Weibo.
The same world, the same wish.
The main purpose of Cheng Qiang's meeting was the final arrangements before the New Year. "The recording of the Winter School is basically completed. The company has tentatively decided to release it during Christmas. Everyone will be busy at the end of the year. There are four or five awards ceremonies and parties on various platforms, so you have to adjust your state. Although you don't rely on your looks to make a living, your looks are still a plus. By the way, Miaomiao's movie will premiere at the film festival next month. Everyone should attend. "
"Yay! We're going to watch Miaomiao's movie! "
Jiang Miao clutched her chest. "I'm so nervous."
"Everyone has been working hard recently. I see that your personal schedules are basically done. The competition is over, the program recording is done, and the movie is going on …" Cheng Qiang checked and confirmed that everything was done. He just happened to be there. "That's good. Everyone can take a few days off."
Ling Yi immediately raised her arm when she heard about the holidays. "Ask a question!"
Lu Yuan understood and cooperated. "Four words!"
Pei Tingsong rolled his eyes. "They're asking about the Maldives again."
Ling Yi pushed the blame to him. "I didn't! It wasn't me! It was Xiao Pei! "
Fang Juexia couldn't help but laugh when he saw him take the blame.
"Speaking of which," Cheng Qiang placed the document on the table. "President Chen's friend opened a luxury hot spring resort near Beijing. Two days ago, President Chen asked me if you guys wanted to go. "
"Go! Of course! "Ling Yi whispered again." What about the Maldives? "
Cheng Qiang sighed. "Those who wanted to go said that they would be recording the team's program." Then, he made arrangements for the resort. "Then we'll set off for the resort tomorrow. There are fewer people there and it's quiet. You guys can rest for two days and come back to work."
Jiang Miao asked, "What about you, Chang Ge?"
"I won't be going. I'll ask Xiao Wen to follow you guys. Contact me if you need anything."
He Ziyan, who had been quietly scrolling through Weibo, suddenly said, "I'll go." The others turned around. "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Pei." He Ziyan picked up his phone. "Why didn't you check your account when you were reading the news? Don't you know that your hand slipped and you liked the post? "
"What?" Pei Tingsong was shocked. He felt guilty when he thought about the things he had just scrolled through. He immediately took out his phone to check the post.
"It's true!" Ling Yi saw that he liked the post and immediately laughed inhumanely. "You're such a hypocrite!"
Jiang Miao was a little puzzled. "Don't tell me you liked the post to scold your teammates."
"No way, my young master." Cheng Qiang was almost anxious. "Don't mess with me. I feel like vomiting whenever I see the word 'public relations'. If you keep doing this, I'll delete your account!"
"Aiya, no." Lu Yuan, who had already checked Weibo, clicked his tongue a few times. He looked at Fang Juexia, who was still in a daze. "Juexia, you treat him as your teammate, but he …"
Pei Tingsong was anxious and scolded. "What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up. Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"
He Ziyan did not mind that things were getting out of hand. "Oh wow. He's anxious, he's anxious. He's anxious and posted two likes. "
Only Fang Juexia looked puzzled. He also took out his phone and clicked on Pei Tingsong's like list. It turned out to be a Weibo post with thousands of shares and thousands of comments.
[Pretty Baby Delicate and Pitiful: Thanks to Pretty Baby's help, I went to watch Sister Zhai's new song and choreographed the dance. The chorus of the song and the twisting of the pelvis are really suitable for our Pretty Baby. Who said that a cold face can't be sexy? Clearly, I don't want to dance but I have no choice. My lips are stubbornly pursed into a line. My ears are so red as if I've been bitten. I don't want to look at the camera, but the birthmark at the corner of my eye can steal my soul away. The collar of my loose white shirt is open, revealing a small section of my collarbone. Under the light, my waistline is completely exposed. When I twist my hip bone, my heart and liver will tremble.
If Pretty Baby's daily beauty value is ten, then Pretty Baby's beauty value will be ten times more if she's forced to be seduced. Who doesn't want to see a pure and holy beauty dyed red? So, sisters, quickly leave a comment! If you don't make a fuss, I won't make a fuss, when will the scenery dance? If you urge me, the scenery will be even more beautiful today than tomorrow!]
"Pei Tingsong …" Fang Juexia slammed his phone on the table, scaring Pei Tingsong.
"What are you looking at on Weibo?"
