Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook
Chapter 602 The Village Bully's Educated Youth Wife 7
Xie Qingyu's answer was self-evident.
Despite receiving this answer amidst the chaos, Ike Shin was still very happy.
However, the most urgent task now is to clarify this issue.
All four parties involved in the incident are currently unreachable.
It's hard to believe this is a coincidence.
Lee Ge's statement was released first, and many fans are still on Ji Shen's side.
However, there are also many fans who love to watch the drama unfold, especially some fans of Chi Shen's rivals, who are taking advantage of the current chaos to smear him.
Although he couldn't be reached by phone, Chi Shen wasn't without options.
After confirming the approximate location of the director and screenwriter through various contacts, Chi Shen immediately sent someone over.
The director was in seclusion; he was reviewing the film today and didn't bring his phone in.
Therefore, Chi Shen was unable to contact him immediately.
He didn't even see today's scandal.
After Chi Shen contacted him in the afternoon, the director immediately issued a clarification statement.
In addition, the statement explained why they did not respond immediately.
The situation was similar for the screenwriter. He was suddenly invited to discuss the adaptation of a novel today, so they spent the whole morning talking about it.
Of course, the screenwriter also provided an explanation.
However, the public doesn't really buy into these kinds of clarification statements.
Xie Qingyu had been following these comments online and watched as the situation did not improve after the explanation was issued; instead, it escalated.
Xie Qingyu couldn't help but worry about Chi Shen. The two hadn't separated since they got together that morning, and all he could do when Chi Shen encountered this situation was stay by his side.
However, Xie Qingyu also did some other things. First, she contacted Sister Zhang to find out which paparazzi or marketing account first broke the news about these scandals.
The information provided by Sister Zhang's channels confirmed that this was indeed a premeditated event, with multiple marketing accounts releasing the information simultaneously. It couldn't possibly be a sudden leak from a paparazzi.
In other words, this was released at someone's request, rather than by paparazzi trying to grab attention or making a statement.
He couldn't possibly release it simultaneously through several marketing accounts.
Xie Qingyu told Chi Shen about the situation.
Chi Shen was equally thorough in this regard, investigating not only from this angle but also from the perspectives of the director and screenwriter. He wanted to see if the inability to contact the two today was pre-arranged or a sudden occurrence.
However, there is another protagonist in this story.
Xia Qinghuan.
The initial information from Brother Li was that Xia Qinghuan had gone abroad and was currently on a plane, so he couldn't reply immediately.
Therefore, since the incident occurred, many fans have been commenting on Xia Qinghuan's Weibo, repeatedly tagging her and her agency to explain what happened.
However, because she hasn't responded to this matter, there have been various speculations.
Many people want to know what really happened, especially since Xia Qinghuan and Chi Shen were rumored to be dating at this time, making people wonder which one Chi Shen truly likes.
Moreover, being associated with Chi Shen's name and trending on social media for so long has significantly increased Xia Qinghuan's fame.
Especially since he had a good reputation when he debuted. He's also considered a fairly skilled actor. Amidst all the uproar surrounding their scandal, many people still have high hopes for the two of them. Under these circumstances, many people will attack Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu's comment section was also flooded with comments, some calling her a clown, others demanding an explanation.
Of course, Xie Qingyu couldn't possibly post on Weibo to explain this matter at this time. Essentially, this matter has nothing to do with her.
In the evening, Xia Qinghuan finally issued a statement, but the content of the statement was extremely vague. It basically repeated what Chi Shen had said and said that it was a legitimate discussion about work.
However, she made no explanation for her relationship with Chi Shen, and even acted in a deliberately ambiguous manner.
This statement, ironically, has only strengthened people's belief that something is amiss.
Logically, all four of them should have issued statements, and this matter should have been put to rest. However, that's not the case. A single statement isn't enough to convince people, or perhaps the public and fans have simply grown tired of such statements.
What they need is substantial evidence.
However, this evidence is hard to find now.
The surveillance cameras in the hotel corridors are gone.
Upon seeing the video, Chi Shen immediately ordered someone to copy the surveillance footage from the hotel, but the footage had been lost.
This is no longer a small matter.
It was at this moment that Chi Shen showed a completely different side of himself compared to his usual acting or life. Perhaps it was the confidence he gained from being born into a wealthy family that made him so organized and capable in handling matters.
And when they couldn't see anything on the surveillance footage, they contacted some influential people on the other side to investigate what was going on with the footage.
"Even if you believe me, I will find other ways to prove what happened. I have never been alone with him."
While dealing with other matters, Chi Shen did not forget to prove his innocence to Xie Qingyu.
Chi Shen hates these kinds of rumors, and there have never been any such rumors circulating about him over the years.
Whether it's someone trying to contact his agent for publicity or a female celebrity trying to ride his coattails, they've almost never succeeded with him.
But this time it was really different; he never expected the video to be edited out and spread like this.
Fortunately, Brother Li also took some action immediately.
While this approach cannot completely suppress the scandal, it can provide some positive guidance.
So the worst-case scenario is that fans think Chi Shang might be in a secret relationship, but no other rumors have yet surfaced. However, if this matter isn't clarified, things might change overnight, especially since everyone has witnessed Xie Qingyu's previous ambiguous relationship with Chi Shen.
Therefore, Chi Shen is destined to have a sleepless night.
When Xie Qingyu got home, Chi Shen was still on the phone with her, telling her not to worry about it.
The surveillance footage wasn't released overnight, and the matter escalated throughout the entire night.
By the second day, the audience's emotions had reached a peak.
Various speculations have even emerged, speculating about the exact relationship between Chi Shen, Xia Qinghuan, and Xie Qingyu.
Aside from Chi Shin, the person most anxious to clarify this rumor was actually the director.
He has always disliked his dramas being involved in various scandals before airing, as while they may generate buzz, they lower viewers' expectations for the plot.
Chi Shen reported the surveillance incident to the police immediately.
He also mentioned calling the police in his explanation to the public.
After all, after a night of build-up, the audience's emotions had reached an extreme peak.
However, this is not something that can be rushed and yielded results quickly. The best approach is actually to target the marketing accounts.
As a veteran agent in the entertainment industry, Brother Li has certain channels to contact the marketing accounts in the entertainment circle.
Combined with the information from Chi Shen's side, they quickly identified the person who gave them the video.
Furthermore, it is certain that someone paid them to release the video at the same time and to influence the entertainment industry.
After identifying this person, the information became stuck.
"This matter is easy to resolve; just look at who benefits the most from it," Brother Li said to Chi Shen on the sofa, putting away his phone.
Although Brother Li didn't get much rest because of this incident, he seemed to be in good spirits, after all, he's been through so many ups and downs in the entertainment industry.
Although this matter has not been fully investigated yet, the underlying logic is already obvious.
Chi Shen looked up and met his gaze.
There is another beneficiary in this matter who is essentially invisible.
That's Xia Qinghuan.
Riding the wave of trending topics is not an uncommon practice.
Especially after Chi Shen reached this position, there will be even more female celebrities trying to ride on his popularity.
However, since Chi Shen himself dislikes this approach and is usually very cautious, he rarely gets involved in such scandals.
Most importantly, when paparazzi receive news that seems both true and false, they immediately contact Lee Ge or Chi Shen to see if it can be published.
This time, they took an unconventional approach, contacting video marketing accounts that had only recently started operating.
These people are unaware of the various tricks of the entertainment industry; they only think that if there's big news, they can publish it.
What's more, they were paid by others to make these payments.
So it didn't go through Brother Li's side at all.
"What do you think she's after? Once the show airs, her status will naturally rise to another level." Brother Li really couldn't understand why Xia Qinghuan would do this.
It would definitely be much better to create scandals after the show airs than now.
Although he neither approves of nor agrees with this kind of hype.
However, in terms of practical implementation, his method is definitely better.
"Is it possible that she didn't really want to create a publicity stunt?" Brother Li suggested another possibility.
"What?" Chi Shen hadn't yet grasped the meaning behind Li Ge's words.
"Maybe he really wants to date you," Brother Li said, his words laced with a hint of teasing.
After this incident, Xia Qinghuan was in contact with Chi Shen almost constantly.
The two didn't even have each other on WeChat before, but because of this incident, Xia Xin Huan added Chi Shen on WeChat through Brother Li. From yesterday afternoon until today, Xia Xin Huan has been sending him messages almost continuously.
She hasn't made any moves online, nor has she mentioned wanting to contact the director or screenwriter to clarify the situation.
However, she kept apologizing to Chi Shen on WeChat, saying that if it weren't for her health condition, this wouldn't have happened.
And starting today, she has been subtly exchanging messages with Chi Shen about other things.
Brother Li didn't have a deep impression of Xia Qinghuan, since he wasn't on set.
Therefore, there is some speculation involved in what is said here.
It depends on whether Chi Shen can detect it.
Chi Shen frowned.
It was as if she had thought of something unpleasant.
When he was called back to the variety show before, he sensed Xia Qinghuan's ambiguous attitude. It wasn't exactly ambiguous, but every time she spoke, she seemed very close to him.
However, Chi Shen always kept his distance from her.
"Just head in this direction." Chi Shen gave Brother Li a definite answer.
"He's really got some skills." Brother Li actually already knew pretty much how to handle public relations by now.
He stubbed out his cigarette and nodded to Chi Shen. "I'll handle this. You see if you can find the surveillance footage. Even if you can't, it won't have a huge impact."
"Qingyu said they've contacted the paparazzi who sent them the video. Find someone to coordinate," Chi Shen said to Brother Li, glancing at his phone.
"Are you two already together?"
"You still have the nerve to ask?" Chi Shen looked up at him, his eyes clearly showing his displeasure.
Brother Li smiled. He didn't actually know Chi Shen's plans yesterday; he only knew from his assistant which restaurant Chi Shen was at.
By the time his assistant remembered to tell him that Chi Shen was going to confess his feelings, it was too late.
"Won't this just interrupt your confession?" Brother Li smiled meaningfully.
Just by looking at Chi Shen's eyes, you can tell that his phone call yesterday was definitely at the wrong time.
"Alright, I found out too late. Sorry to bother you. I won't say anything when you two go public." Brother Li was just doing a favor.
“My parents know.” Chi Shen rubbed his temples. He had received a call from his mother last night.
His mother only asked him which one was his future daughter-in-law.
"They'd be happy to know, they've urged you countless times, but you're the only one who doesn't seem to care." Chi's parents don't really want Chi Shen to be in this circle, not because they need him to go back and inherit the family fortune, after all, Chi's father is still in his prime.
However, dating is a big deal in this circle, and Chi's mother doesn't know when she will see Chi Shen get married.
Although she wasn't in a hurry to have a grandson, she felt sorry for her son, who was all alone.
Chi's parents have a good relationship. They work at their respective companies and try to meet up during lunch breaks.
If one party needs to travel abroad for business, the other party will definitely accompany them.
Having such a happy marriage, they really wanted their son to have the same kind of love and marriage.
However, given Chi Shen's line of work, having a normal romantic relationship is practically impossible.
Moreover, he seemed to have no intention of dating at all before.
Chi's mother once suspected that he had lost his longing for love because he had acted in too many movies.
“She really should be happy, at least she’ll have a daughter-in-law.” Chi Shen thought back to when he said those words to his mother yesterday, and how his mother immediately wanted to give Xie Qingyu some jewelry as a gift.
It can only be said that the mother and daughter are quite in sync when it comes to giving gifts.
"Why don't you strike while the iron is hot and announce your relationship before the hype dies down? Otherwise, I'll have to go through all that trouble again," Brother Li said directly to Chi Shen.
