"I'm confident that Tangning will pave the way for me because she's that amazing," Xia Hanmo had no doubt about this. "Plus, I'm doing this for justice."
Seeing her confident expression, Zhou Qing smiled, "Since we're both unemployed, can I invite Miss Xia out for a meal?"
Xia Hanmo naturally nodded her head.
The two of them chose a well-hidden restaurant for dinner. However, just as Xia Hanmo sat down, a two-year-old child next to her fell into the fountain not far away. Although there wasn't much water, the child still cried loudly.
As soon as Xia Hanmo saw this, Zhou Qing immediately ran over and pulled the child out of the water. Afterwards, a rich woman ran over anxiously.
"Is the baby OK?"
Zhou Qing looked at the woman with a hint of anger for the first time, "The child is still young. I suggest you don't let him out of your sight."
The woman was stunned for a moment before she quickly carried the child away.
This was the first time Xia Hanmo had seen Zhou Qing so emotional.
"Do you like children a lot?" Xia Hanmo asked as soon as Zhou Qing sat down.
"Not really," Zhou Qing replied softly before changing the topic.
Of course, Xia Hanmo immediately sensed that Zhou Qing was a man with a story. On the surface, he appeared gentle and took good care of everyone, but in reality, he was extremely cautious.
So, Xia Hanmo did not dig into his secrets.
That way, he would be easier to get along with.
It didn't take long before Tangning found out that Xia Hanmo had fallen out with 'The Big Adventure'. Of course, this was all within her expectations. If Xia Hanmo had actually endured the humiliation and stayed on 'The Big Adventure', then she would have felt that she had misjudged her.
But, there was one thing that Tangning had to admit: she had already set up her trap. The only reason why she did not tell Xia Hanmo, was because she wanted to see if she was worth it, and because she wanted her to put on a realistic act.
As it turned out, Xia Hanmo was indeed an artist at Superstar Media.
As someone that had been blacklisted for a long time, it was normal for her to be cautious. But, right now, Tangning needed to ensure that Xia Hanmo would never be blacklisted again.
The previous flood incident had let the outside world re-evaluate Xia Hanmo, so this time, it was a good opportunity to consolidate Xia Hanmo's image in the public's mind.
The Young Master of 'The Big Adventure' probably felt that Xia Hanmo, a female artist with an unstable foundation, dared to slap him in the face. So, he took a photo of his swollen face and posted it online. He wanted to make use of public opinion to frame Xia Hanmo. At the same time, he wanted to create an image of himself as a victim.
Unfortunately …
As soon as he posted the photo, Superstar Media released a statement apologizing on Xia Hanmo's behalf because she accidentally made a move …
However, it was obvious that the essential difference between a man and a woman was that when a man made a move, it was definitely a provocation. But when a woman made a move, the audience would automatically assume that she was bullied and had no choice but to make a move.
Plus, the fact that Superstar Media had admitted to it so openly confirmed the public's suspicions: Xia Hanmo must have suffered greatly.
"First, Zhou Qing was forced to leave, then Xia Hanmo made a move. I'm sure a certain television station must have had a serious internal conflict."
"It wasn't easy for Xia Hanmo to regain her popularity. I refuse to believe that she would make a move for no reason."
"A certain television station is too shameless. Apparently, they're going to make changes to 'The Big Adventure'. We're not going to watch 'The Big Adventure' without Zhou Qing!"
"Can we boycott that television station?"
The Young Master's son never expected that his photo would attract such a huge reaction. In fact, all the rumors were negative towards' The Big Adventure '. When it came to Zhou Qing's matter, he was the one that stole it. Not only did he not keep a low profile, he even went around causing trouble.
So, Tangning's move, apart from making sure the Young Master's son's' The Big Adventure 'was boycotted, she also wanted the public to side with Zhou Qing and Xia Hanmo.
Of course, this wasn't enough. After all, Tangning was someone that knew how to play tricks …
So, she gave Zhou Qing a phone call, "In order to turn the situation around, the other party may start a rumor that the two of you have a 'special' relationship. Or, they may try to slander the two of you. Zhou Ge, you're an experienced person, I'm sure you know what to do."
Zhou Qing was a smart man, so he immediately understood what Tangning was hinting at.
So, the next day, the news would be that Zhou Qing was' fired 'from his job, but he was still in a good mood as he ate with his family. Or, the news would be dug up and made into a hot topic: Zhou Qing and a mysterious woman were seen holding hands as they went shopping.
Meanwhile, on Xia Hanmo's side, Tangning arranged for a famous account to edit and share the video of Xia Hanmo's interview and her insistence that she was single.
This way, even if the television station wanted to start a rumor, no one would believe it.
The Young Master's son was stuck, but the Station Manager could see through the situation. So, he called his son into his office to teach him a lesson.
"You can keep a high profile when it comes to 'The Big Adventure', but why do you have to chase after Zhou Qing and Xia Hanmo?"
"Dad … don't I have the right to teach two artists a lesson?"
"Forget about Zhou Qing. After all, he may have built up a lot of connections over the years, but he's still not mature enough. But, you even provoked Xia Hanmo. Did you know that the public is currently scolding you?" the Station Manager said angrily as he slammed his hands on his desk.
"Everyone's talking about Zhou Qing right now."
"I told you that you're too young, but you refused to believe me. Zhou Qing's actions aren't gossip, he's trying to prevent us from slandering him!"
"He didn't fight for anything and left in a carefree manner. In his spare time, he spends time with his family and with his girlfriend. If you continue to cause trouble for him, you will be seen as heartless and ruthless!"
"That's enough. Focus on your show. 'The Big Adventure' is now in your hands. Don't do anything that will embarrass everyone. If you really want to beat Zhou Qing, then show me what you're capable of."
The Station Manager was furious. If his son was even half as capable as Zhou Qing, he wouldn't have to worry.
But, the jerk had no brains.
The fact that he accepted 'The Big Adventure' was already the biggest blow to Zhou Qing. But, he still wasn't satisfied.
"Just wait and see. I will definitely make you look at me in a different light."
The Station Manager didn't have much expectations for this. As long as Zhou Qing performed well, he would be satisfied.
Soon, the new episode of 'The Big Adventure' began filming. Although, with the help of the production team, 'The Big Adventure' managed to maintain a high standard and they even invited an important guest, without Zhou Qing, 'The Big Adventure' lost its original flavor. Did the Station Manager's son think that the audience was stupid?
