Chapter 13: Are you feeling better?
Xie You left the Qu family house, and the special assistant Qin Jian quickly helped him open the back seat door. After Xie You sat in, he got into the car from the other side.
Xie You originally had very few expressions on his face and had always been extremely stingy with his words and smile. But now his heart is full of anger, and the aura around him is even colder. He tapped his fingers on the leather pad and asked, âHave you checked?â
Xie You did not open his mouth, and Qin Jian did not dare to speak. After listening to his question, Qin Jian replied, âIt has been checked.â
He recounted the key points, âThe planners of this incident were Fang Huai and his agent Cao Zheng. Two days ago, Fang Huaiâs agent contacted a studio and asked the other party to put on a show in the parking lot at 7:00 this morning. The main purpose is to discredit Yu Nian, and the second is to influence Yu Nianâs performance in the competition.â
Xie Youâs eyes were like deep pools covered with frost, âContinue.â
âThe information you asked to check has been checked, and the public relations department has prepared it.â After Qin Jian finished reporting, his heart was also relieved.
He has been with Xie You for four years, and he has never heard Xie You mention the name âYu Nianâ before. But what happened this time made him understand that Yu Nian was the Xie Youâs inverse scale, and he shouldnât be touched.
When Xie You saw the hot search in the morning, he postponed the regular meeting on the spot. He Instructed the public relations department to find out how all similar incidents in the entertainment industry have been handled in the past five years and submit relevant reports. And because he was not sure whether his means would have a bad influence on Yu Nian, he simply threw the piles of documents and reports and went directly to the Qu family house to find Qu Xiaoran.
Perhaps this is because he is too precious, so Xie You is cautious.
âWhere is that girl, have you managed to contact her?â
Qin Jian omitted all the details in the middle and only reported the results, âThe person in the video who pretended to be a fan and was pushed down is called Pang, 24 years old, a local. After we contacted her, she expressed her willingness to cooperate. The rest of the people involved in this incident, and the studio behind them, are also willing to testify and provide all evidence.â
Xie You was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said, âHe must be very sad.â
Qin Jian knew who this âheâ was referring to and did not dare to answer him.
Xie You: âThen the only thing to do is make the people who made him sad even sadder.â
Qin Jian lowered his head, âYes.â
â¦â¦â¦.
Studio.
After the first rehearsal, He Qiubai saw the effect and nodded in approval, âYou are in a very good state.â He looked at Yu Nianâs expression, and after a few seconds he sighed sincerely, âI was surprised that you didnât let the hot searches affect your rehearsal.â
He finally understood a little bit why Meng Yuan kept complimenting Yu Nianâs young age when he was eating barbecue before; his mentality is really good. He had already thought about how to comfort Yu Nian, but it was obvious that he would not need it at all.
Yu Nin had a throat lozenge in his mouth, he smiled and said, âThis is what I should do, I know what is important.â
âWell, I was worried about your performance before,â He Qiubai smiled and patted Yu Nianâs shoulder, âHave a good rest, and try to perform better when recording!â
Xia Mingxi waited for He Qiubai to leave and then sat next to Yu Nian with two packets of biscuits.
Yu Nian took the biscuits handed over to him, seeing Xia Mingxiâs tangled face he smiled, âWhatâs with your expression? Wrinkles are going to grow out around the corners of your eyes.â
Xia Mingxi took a heavy bite of the biscuit and muttered, âFang Huai was obviously provoking us at that time, why didnât we say anything back then?â
Yu Nian put on the makeup, carefully broke the biscuits into small pieces and ate them one bite at a time, taking care not to drop the crumbs on the ground. Seeing Xia Mingxiâs exasperation, he explained with a smile, âAlthough I also suspect that he did it, we have no evidence.â
Xia Mingxi was persuaded. He finished the biscuits in no mood, and then said worriedly, âNian Nian, You have to be stable. if you were affected during the recording and didnât take the first place, Fangâ the person behind all this, donât know how happy he will be!â
Yu Nian shook his head, âIâm not that stupid. I wonât take it if itâs not mine. But if itâs mine, no one else can take it away from me.â
At this moment, Yu Nianâs assistant Shi Rou hurried over. Before he could say anything clearly, she directly put the lit mobile phone into Yu Nianâs hand.
Xia Mingxi stretched out his head and watched with Yu Nian curiously. After he saw the words on the screen clearly, he opened his mouth slightly and rubbed his eyes. He couldnât believe it, âThis is really exciting, Iâm not hallucinating right?â
On the Weibo hot search list, the number one most popular topic #Yu Nian pushing down fans# was replaced by another topic, which was #the truth that should be known#, while the second one was much more straightforward â #Yu Nianâs Counter#, followed by a small red character.
Yu Nian directly clicked on #the truth that should be known# and Shi Rou explained in a low voice at a very fast speed, âEveryone who pretended to be your fan in the morning has been found one by one. According to the news that broke out, these people are from a studio. In one fell swoop, they blew up the chat records, transaction records, and contracts signed with Fang Huai and Fang Huaiâs agent, Cao Zheng. Now the Internet has exploded, and the entertainment news headlines on Weibo forums are all about this incident. â
Xia Mingxi was very sensitive to these things, so he raised his head and asked suspiciously, âThe news headlines also exploded? Brother Meng bought it with money?â
Shi Rou shook her head again and again, âBrother Meng didnât buy it. I donât know which company did it, so Iâm still asking around.â
Yu Nian held the phone and swiped down the page little by little.
[ââ#Yu Nianâs Counter# Eat melons, eat melons! This plot reversal is very exciting! So Yu Nian did not push fans. The truth of the matter is that Fang Huai asked âprofessionalsâ to touch Yu Nianâs porcelain, and bought the hot searches to keep it up. So that when Yu Nian stinks, he will be able to step on Yu Nian? Completely the best giant melon of the year!]
[ââBefore the black fans scolded Yu Nian, saying that Yu Nian has a bad temper and bad character. He is not worthy of being a singer and didnât deserve to be in the entertainment industry. Shouldnât everyone come out one by one to line up and apologise? The victim is obviously Yu Nian. I donât even know how many people scolded him #Apologise to Yu Nian#!]
[ââ#Apologise to Yu Nian#! Damn, Fang Huai and his agent are really disgusting! Look at the chat records of that studio word by word, so vicious! They just want to get rid of Yu Nian once and for all! Is it interesting to touch the porcelain? Would you like to try it yourself?]
[ââI almost cried with heartache! Nian Nian has suffered so much! Even if he tried to explain the truth, no one believed him, and he was also scolded on Weibo. Itâs sad just thinking about it! When I saw that the woman took 8,000 yuan for this, I cried out of anger!]
[ââ#Apologise to Yu Nian# How evil is Fang Huai? Just because Yu Nian stole his limelight? Now I have seen it! I am not a fan of Yu Nian, but I feel sad about him. He was wronged and had been scolded so much. If It was me, I would have already collapsed!]
Now everyone is on their phones, and soon, everyone in the studio knew the whole story, and for a while, the voices of everyone were much quieter.
Fang Huai was the only one who didnât notice anything and stood on the stage to test the equipment until his manager ran in with a sweaty head and went straight to the stage in a panic.
Fang Huai frowned, just as he was about to say something, he heard the agent say in a loud voice, âThe three endorsements that were negotiated and signed before have all been cancelled. They said that they would rather pay the liquidated damages to terminate the contract than work with us and that they someone wanted to fix youââ
The agentâs speech was too fast, and the content was like smashing rocks on his forehead. When Fang Huai realised that the microphone was not turned off, everyone present had already heard what his agent said.
Fang Huaiâs expression was tense, and without saying hello, he pulled his manager to the backstage, only to bump into Yu Nian and Shi Rou.
With the endorsement thing in his mind, he was ready to continue walking inside, but then he heard Yu Nian speak.
âWait.â
Seeing Fang Huai stop, Yu Nian continued, âYou said in the dressing room before that we shouldnât talk nonsense about things without evidence.â
Fang Huai turned around and sneered, âI said that, why?â
Yu Nian smiled and informed, âYou should probably check your phone.â
Fang Huaiâs heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took out his phone. He tapped his finger on the screen several times, and his face suddenly changed.
â¦â¦â¦
Office.
The two topics #distressed about Yu Nian# and #Apologise to Yu Nian# broke into the top ten searches of Weibo; various big Vs reposted the whole story one after another, and the news clients of major websites also began to push relevant news. In less than an hour, the public opinion was directly controlled, and the wind direction was reversed.
Qin Jian reported to Xie You, âMr. Xie, itâs done. The public relations department has submitted a report on the situation, and will continue to pay close attention to it for the next three days. The legal department has drafted relevant documents.â
âWell.â Xie You then stood up, put on a black handmade suit jacket, and said while arranging the buttons, âNotify all departments and hold a regular meeting in ten minutes.â
â¦â¦â¦
Studio.
Meng Yuan dragged Yu Nian in the lounge to talk.
âThis time, Fang Huai really couldnât get out of the deep hole. How hot and how big they were before this matter was hyped up, and now the backlash theyâre getting is doubled. Nothing could be hidden in the entertainment industry. His methods are dirty, and the fact that he has lost all the endorsement contracts in his hands is not a secret at all. â
Yu Nian finished a few sips of the freshly squeezed juice handed by Meng Yuan, âSo we still donât know, who helped me?â
âPresident Qu seems to know who is helping, but he doesnât make it clear.â
âPresident Qu?â An impressive figure flashed through Yu Nianâs mind unconsciously.
âWell.â Meng Yuan couldnât help sighing again, âHow long has it been since the incident happened and you are on the hot search? The identity and relevant information of the person who framed you and the people from the studio all came forward willingly, providing all kinds of evidence, coupled with the subsequent wave of manipulations that dominated public opinion. If I think about it carefully, my heart really trembles. The person who did this, really has the means of thunder. â
He looked at Yu Nian and wondered, âDo you know who helped you?â
Yu Nian turned around the emerald-colored flute in his hand and hesitated, âIâ¦maybe know who it is.â
After recording the show, Yu Nian was sent home. He and Meng Yuan said goodbye to each other, then he closed the car door, and turned to go home.
It was already two oâclock in the morning, and there was no one around. After walking for a while, Yu Nian suddenly stopped. He turned his footsteps and walked in another directionâ
Although he had only seen it once, he still recognized it. The car parked on the side was indeed Xie Youâs.
Standing on the edge of the street, Yu Nian bent his fingers and knocked on the car window without any hesitation.
Soon, the window glass came down, revealing Xie Youâs stunning facial features. He seemed to have just gotten out of work, still wearing a well-tailored black suit with a slightly loose tie, revealing his sexy Adamâs apple.
âGood evening.â Yu Nian smiled lightly and his tone rose slightly.
Xie You carefully observed Yu Nianâs smile, and replied, âGood evening.â The voice was in harmony with the night wind, and softened a few degrees subconsciously.
The only few conversations between the two were basically led by Yu Nian. But this time, Yu Nian did not speak. After more than ten seconds of silence, Xie You asked seriously, âAre you in a better mood?â
Yu Nianâs smile bloomed, and the end of his eyes curved, as if all the stars were melted into it, âIâm in a good mood, Iâm very happy.â He smiled again, âI thought you wouldnât admit it.â
Xie You originally planned to come over to take a look at Yu Nian from a distance, and then leave.
He didnât expect Yu Nian to recognize his car.
He didnât know how to answer, so he didnât speak at all.
Yu Nian has become accustomed to Xie Youâs few words, and doesnât care, instead he asked, âHave you waited for me for a long time?â
Xie You shook his head, âNo, I only waited for five minutes.â
Yu Nian noticed that there were leaves on the roof of the car. After hearing from Xie You that he only waited for five minutes, he didnât break it down, but said sincerely again, âThank you for helping me this time.â
âYou donât have to thank me.â Xie Youâs ears were a little hot, but his voice was still very calm. He said, âIâ¦my mother likes to hear you sing.â
Is this explaining the reason for helping him?
Yu Nian suddenly thought of something, he took out two simple packets of candy from his pocket, âSuddenly thought of this. I made this candy myself. I donât know if you like it or not. If you donât dislike it, Iâll give it to you.â
Xie You paused for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand to take it. The candies were still stained with Yu Nianâs body temperature. He held them in his palm and tightened his fingers.
Yu Nian didnât notice Xie Youâs little actions, and finally said, âIf there is anything I can help with in the future, I will definitely help.â
Xie You wanted to say, âI just donât want you to be wrongedâ. But he knew that for Yu Nian now, he was just a person who had met several times.
So he just nodded and said, âOkay.â
Yu Nian stood up straight, his soft black hair swayed a few times with the night wind. He waved at Xie You, âI will sing well, thank you.â
Xie You looked at the smile that spread at the corner of Yu Nianâs mouth and also relaxed, âGood night.â
âWell, good night.â
