158. The Reversal

After a night of love-making, all problems became not that important. When he got up in the morning, Qi Le’an looked at the time in a daze and said to Wei Changfeng beside him, “Wei Sama… it’s already eight o’clock.”

Wei Changfeng, who had Qi Le’an in his arms, said with his eyes closed, “I’m not going today.”

Qi Le’an suddenly smiled happily. He knew that Wei Sama had been with Devin these days, but Wei Sama is not going today!

Wei Changfeng sent Gary a message to tell him that he was not going out today. He took another light sleep with Qi Le’an in his arms and did not get up until about nine o ‘clock.

Yesterday, Qi Le’an bought a lot of different foods, but he only made four dishes. Wei Changfeng opened the refrigerator to have a look, then he took out the fruit corns and boiled them in the pot, and took out the quick-frozen pork buns from the freezer below.

By the time Qi Le’an shuffled downstairs, Wei Changfeng had already prepared breakfast.

Qi Le’an stretched lazily. He said while browsing the Weibo, “It feels like it has been a long time since I have breakfast with Wei Sama!”

Wei Changfeng, who was heating the milk, suddenly felt a little guilty. No sooner had he sent his teacher away than the team of Wllln arrived. He hadn’t had breakfast with Le’an for a while.

He was trying to figure out how to make it up to Le’an when he heard him say, “Wow! Brother Chen is efficient! ”

Wei Changfeng raised his head and Qi Le’an had handed the phone to him.

A new battle has been waged on Weibo today. There was a lot of news about Wei Changfeng and Qi Le’an yesterday, but they were replaced by “Someone Likes Blue” today.

The person who posted the Weibo was also a gossip blogger called “Madam of the circle”, and she was a famous enemy of the “Eight Circles Hierarch”. Yesterday, Hierarch gave Qi Le’an a bad name, and today, Madam released several photos. She only said that the famous director Guan Kai’s another film was waiting to be released.

These few simple words were like slaps in Hierarch’s face.

The Fujoshi went crazy when they saw these photos. There was also news that said that this was based on the novel adaptation and was very heartbreaking. #Someone Likes Blue# immediately became a hot search. Plus, it was directed by Guan Kai. So now, people both inside and outside of the circle were immediately full of expectations for this work.

Li Zheyu failed to give Qi Le’an a bad name, and the money he spent seemed to have helped promote the series “Blue,” which drove him mad.

Qi Le’an laughed with his phone in his hand, “This means that the wicked shall have their retribution!” he said, grinding his teeth.

Wei Changfeng looked at Qi Le’an’s happy expression and said, “What kind of retribution is this?”

Qi Le’an said conqueringly, “It’s not over yet.”

Sure enough, the news about “Blue” had been heated up for a long time. At five or six in the afternoon when people got off work, there was another rumor.

This time, it was a passer-by who posted a message, “He threatened to ban other people because he couldn’t win over the endorsement. His words were insults and he tended to hit people. After the video came out, he pretended to give others a bad name. Fortunately, God had eyes, and now facts had proved that his words and actions were inconsistent. Good and evil must, at last, have their reward.”

This short post was quickly forwarded by many. Netizens entered the blogger’s home page and found that it was a girl who worked in a western restaurant. In addition, the figure in the selfie she posted earlier was the same as the waitress who was bullied in the video!

The crowd was in an uproar. The whole story was clear now. Although the girl did not point out the specific name in the post, everyone knew she was talking about Li Zheyu!

Plus the clue of giving someone a bad reputation, the netizens started to connect the dots in their mind: was it related to Qi Le’an?

Instantly, Qi Le’an’s fans were enraged and they started to dig deep into Li Zheyu. Li Zheyu had always been unruly, and this time, some of his infamous behavior has been revealed by fans, such as sleeping with female fans and dating many girls at the same time. In addition, with the help of Chen Shan’s public relations team,  Li Zheyu became the person that everybody abhorred unanimously all of a sudden.

In just one day, things turned around so many times that it had to be called the “drama of the year”!

Qi Le’an once again admired the power of the public relations team. He only gave He Xin’s contact information to Chen Shan and he did not expect that they could use her to turn over the condition so that Li Zheyu could not fight back!

Moreover, Qi Le’an’s name was never mentioned in He Xin’s post. It was all the speculation of “netizens”. And if anything happened, Qi Le’an could still pretend to be innocent.

In the edited video, people thought that Li Zheyu wanted to ban Qi Le’an. Although Qi Le’an couldn’t appear in public in China in the next few years, it was possible to issue a press release under the banner of “being banned” during a holiday. Li Zheyu’s words became true. When people thought about it again, they would inevitably scold Li Zheyu.

Brillant! It was brilliant!

Qi Le’an extremely admired his public relations team, while Li Zheyu smashed his public relations team with an ashtray.

The ashtray hit the director of his public relations team, and a pile of ashes scattered in the air. The director dared not say anything!

“Trash! What a bunch of trash!”

Li Zheyu smashed the ashtray and still couldn’t vent his hatred. He was about to smash another thing on the director’s head again when another person in the room finally spoke.

“Stop! Zheyu, that’s enough!”

Li Zheyu paused and turned to look at Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan sat at the back of the office and said, “Director Ma has so many teams under his command and they worked things out perfectly every time. You’ve got to change your temper. Most of these things were true, right? How could you not think about it? Just the sleeping with fans thing, what if it were known to others?”

There was a gleam of evil in Li Zheyu’s eyes.

After Jiang Shan scolded Li Zheyu, he said to Mr. Ma, Director of the public relations team, “Director Ma, Zheyu was impatient and had a bad temper. He didn’t make good use of the good stuff. Do you see any chance to save him now?”

Director Ma just got a bump on his head, and now he was still resentful. When Jiang Shan asked, he said, “There’s nothing we can do now, Mr. Jiang. We can’t respond at all right now. A response will make things worse and we’ll just have to wait for the heat to pass.”

Jiang Shan browsed Weibo with his iPad and asked, “What did the people here say? Can we take down all the popular searches and keywords?”

Director Ma wished Li Zheyu would become notorious sooner, so he just said, “I’ve already talked to them at the beginning. But as you know, Qi Le’an had such a good relationship with Weibo. They don’t want to deal with it.”

Jiang Shan frowned and asked, “How can an actor who has been banned have such capabilities?”

“I wanted Glory artists to be stationed on Weibo, but you didn’t think their platform was big enough and turned down their invitations many times. So why should they help you now?” Director Ma thought inwardly.

“Do they think we’re not paying enough money?” Jiang Shan glanced at Li Zheyu and said, “ZheYu is a potential stock. It doesn’t matter if we spend more money.”

Only then did Li Zheyu’s bitter face look better.

Director Ma was about to laugh. Didn’t he know about Li Zheyu’s crap? A potential stock? After all these years, he still hadn’t made a big deal.

“I gave them a high price from the beginning, but they said it’s not about the money…”

Jiang Shan sighed and said, “This is a tricky business… Director Ma, please help to think of away.”

Director Ma was not willing to be involved in this. He just wanted to be a bystander.

Li Zheyu suddenly said, “That Hu Bin,  the one who stole my idol drama.”

Jiang Shan asked, “Yes? What’s wrong with him?

Li Zheyu said gloomily, “Didn’t we have some evidence of his bad secrets? It is enough to distract the audience. Anyway, netizens are brainless, and the more stinky the shit is, the more they love it.”

His words were unpleasant, so Director Ma couldn’t help but retort, “We’re not releasing it to the public until they’re promoting ‘One hundred and Ten Starlight’. One of their idol dramas is in the same gear as ours.”

Li Zheyu was furious when he heard this and shouted, “Am I not as important as one play?”

Jiang Shan got a headache from the noise and said, “Okay, Zheyu, calm down! Director Ma, was it enough to distract the audience?”

Director Ma was unwilling. He was planning to destroy both Hu Bin and the idol drama. The more powerful the news was, the later he would put it. What’s the point of putting the news out in advance? However, he didn’t dare to refute Jiang Shan. He just said, “Yes…”

“Okay, then release it,” Jiang Shan waved his hand and said, “Director Ma, you must take care of it now. It doesn’t make much of a difference if you release it sooner or later. Don’t let the matter of Zheyu continue.”

Director Ma looked wronged and wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.

“Alright, Director Ma, go ahead with your stuff,” Jiang Shan said, “Zheyu, there’s something I need to tell you…”

Jiang Shan meant to chase him away. Director Ma had to turn around and leave. After a few steps, Li Zheyu’s agent caught up with him.

The agent smiled flatteringly, “Brother Ma, Zheyu has such a bad temper. He was too impulsive just now… This is medicine fees! Brother Ma, go and have your head examined. The rest of the money is to buy food for my sister-in-law and nephew!”

Director Ma looked at the white card in his agent’s hand. A white card, 500,000 yuan.

“… Forget about it this time. Fortunately, we have some information in our hands. Tell your actor to be careful. We can’t be that lucky every time.”

Director Ma took the card and said to Li Zheyu’s agent.

The agent quickly nodded and said, “Of course. Then, please get on with what you are doing, Brother Ma. I still have something to do. See you later! ”

Director Ma nodded with a stern expression, ready to go back to create another conspiracy.

After Qi Le’an left Glory, he was far away from these dirty things. His victory that night made him call Chen Shan for an hour, spending half of the time praising his public relations team.

Chen Shan would have been triumphant when he answered the phone, but he found that something was wrong. Qi Le’an had been complimenting his team. Shouldn’t he be complimenting him as an agent?

Chen Shan was furious at this. So Qi Le’an had praised Chen Shan for another half an hour until his mouth was dry, and he regretted making this call.

Fortunately, Chen Shan also felt a little sick later on. He interrupted Qi Le’an’s praise and said, “By the way, I got you a tutor. He is a Chinese-American, a handsome guy! I’ll send his contact information to you later!”

Qi Le’an’s eyes lit up, “A handsome guy? Cool!”

Wei Changfeng turned a page and looked up at Qi Le’an.

Qi Le’an hurriedly said, “What’s the use of a handsome guy? Being handsome might not necessarily be good in English! Then, I’ll talk to you later.”

Chen Shan, “…”

After hanging up, Qi Le’an quickly said to Wei Changfeng, “This Brother Chen… why did he choose a handsome guy? I don’t like handsome guys at all!”

Wei Changfeng took out a piece of tissue and handed it to Qi Le’an.

Qi Le’an asked, “?”

Wei Changfeng “Just wipe your saliva.”

Qi Le’an, “…”
