Chapter 46 part 3

After getting off the plane, Xia Shutong indeed received a message from Zhou Hanchi.

Zhou Hanchi: 【President Xia, I have already grasped the basic situation of this matter. Xinghui will definitely cooperate fully to clarify and resolve this issue as soon as possible.】

Before departing, Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu were in such a hurry that they didn’t understand the situation clearly. It was also normal that Zhou Hanchi didn’t notice at that time as the production team was busy.

Similarly, the PR department also sent a message saying that they have already coordinated with Xinghui.

Xia Shutong glanced at the various messages on her phone, her eyes slightly darkening.

After returning to the company with Yun Feiwu, Xia Shutong immediately convened a large-scale meeting with the PR department and some of the staff who had come from Xinghui. Zhou Hanchi also requested permission from the production team and participated in the meeting through video call.

Two hours later, a complete counterattack plan was formulated.

….

Amidst the sound of scolding, there were also fans who continued to speak up, but they were quickly suppressed by the netizens’ verbal abuse.

【Don’t spread rumors, don’t believe rumors! Please wait for the official announcement! Focus on Yun Yun’s film works!】

【Yun Yun is filming a variety show in another province, and her response may be delayed. Please understand and patiently wait for the official announcement in silence!】

【Fans, stop defending her. The evidence is there, what can the official do to cover it up? At most, they could come up with a story to satisfy the fans. But I reckon the company wouldn’t dare respond to such undeniable evidence. It depends on whether Yun Feiwu’s backstage connections will continue to support her.】

【Even Xinghui Entertainment is struggling to survive now, let alone protecting Yun Feiwu. But since Yun Feiwu has sold herself to President Xia, maybe she is willing to save her. However, after analyzing the situation, even if President Xia does save Yun Feiwu, her reputation will still be tarnished. She may only get to act in some low-profile films in the future.】

【Yes! Expel tainted artists from the entertainment industry!】

When the heat of this matter is about to reach its peak, the official Eight TV’s Weibo account suddenly posted a mysterious interview video.

Eight TV is an official entertainment channel, although its content is mainly interviews with celebrities and film appreciation, not much different from non-official entertainment channels. But since Eight TV is official, it often represents the official standpoint to a certain extent.

The interview content was simple, lasting only a short minute or two.

Reporter: “Miss Yun, what are your thoughts on the interview with your parents? Are what they said true?”

“I don’t have any thoughts.” Yun Feiwu’s expression was calm, with no trace of emotion in her eyes. “It’s not true.”

The reporter asked again, “Then please be specific, which statements are not true?”

Yun Feiwu slightly tilted her head, thought for a moment, and slowly said, “Almost every single one.”

Yun Feiwu did not continue speaking, but the reporter guided further, asking:

“So, what your stepmother said about the family spending all their savings on your brother’s treatment and struggling financially, is it not true?”

Yun Feiwu nodded.

“Your stepmother, Li Yue, actually doesn’t treat you well?”

Nod.

“And what your stepmother mentioned about you and Mr. Xinghui Zhou. It’s also fabricated?”

Yun Feiwu stared directly into the camera, her gaze cold and indifferent, nodding once again.

“Alright, thank you.”

The interview came to an end.

The interview video from Eight TV officially brought this matter into the spotlight, but the comments from netizens became even more intense. This interview video, lasting less than two minutes, seemed to have backfired.

【Wow, the background behind Yun Feiwu is too impressive! She can actually get official support. We ordinary people can’t afford to provoke her.】

【Haha, is this her way of clarification? Yun Feiwu is too arrogant. I used to not believe she was that kind of person, but now I completely believe it.】

【This response is worse than not responding at all. If she has the ability, she should provide solid evidence. Just nodding means nothing. Do you think I’m stupid? 】

【I always thought Yun Feiwu was extremely arrogant. I don’t know why so many people like her and say she’s sincere. This response attitude of hers makes me absolutely disgusted.】

When the netizens were passionately criticizing, the direction of public opinion suddenly changed on the marketing account’s side.

First, someone exposed the Yun family’s properties and factory in Yun City and submitted it to several influential marketing accounts:

【They own a whole rental building and also have a factory that earns millions of dollars annually. Is this what Yun Feiwu’s stepmother meant by “not making ends meet”? (watching the show)】

The submission added: 【Oh, by the way, I also found out that the Yun family’s factory had a profit of three million in the highest year in recent years, and the annual rent for that building is also about five hundred thousand. In addition to that building, the Yun family also has several properties in the county town of Yun City, all valued at over a million. As for Yun Feiwu’s brother’s illness, according to Yun Feiwu’s stepmother, she has spent all the family’s savings in two years of illness. By calculation, she would have to spend at least ten to twenty thousand a day, and the medical expenses have not been reduced for two consecutive years. What kind of illness requires so much money? If it truly exists, it is suggested that the Yun family investigate if they have been cheated by the hospital.

Let me add another point, after the Yun family arrived in Haicheng, they directly rented a guesthouse in the city center, right next to the hospital, with a monthly rent of tens of thousands. Since they are in such desperate need of money, why would they still choose to rent such an expensive house?】

As expected, the comments under these posts by influential marketers exploded.

【WTF! The Yun family is so rich? After watching the interview, I even donated 1000 yuan to them through crowdfunding! Is this a scam?】

【I actually donated money to a wealthy person whose income is hundreds of times mine? I must be crazy…】

【Scammers are so disgusting!!!】

【Hey, let’s not jump to conclusions so quickly. Maybe there’s some hidden story behind the Yun family? And so far, it’s pretty clear that Yun Feiwu has disregarded her family’s well-being. Even if the Yun family is wealthy, she shouldn’t neglect her brother like that, right? Also, there are no photos of her with CEO Zhou at the hotel.】

【Yeah, yeah, let’s not demand a perfect victim in this day and age. Can’t believe it, can’t believe it.】

【Where did the Yun family suffer? Isn’t it just that they asked their daughter for money and she refused? But then they turn around and expose their daughter to the media when they clearly aren’t in need of money. Vampires don’t even suck blood like this…】

…

While netizens were still digesting the big revelation from the marketing account, Zhou Hanchi’s personal Weibo account posted another long article.

Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every coffee an extra chapter would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support, so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
