The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Thinking about how he had previously aided and abetted evil, Gu Bei felt so ashamed that he wished he could disappear on the spot.

He did indeed stand up, intending to disappear.

It was still snowing outside, and under the dim streetlights, the snow scene had a desolate and lonely beauty.

Gu Bei remembered what Ruan Mianmian had mentioned about the live stream, so he went to Douyin to search for Ruan Mianmian's live stream replay.

His home was very close, only a little over a hundred meters away. However, he walked slower and slower until he finally stood motionless in the heavy snow.

After an unknown amount of time, the security guard noticed a person standing not far from the gate. Fearing something might be wrong, he came out and discovered it was Mr. Gu, a resident of the complex. He quickly asked, "Mr. Gu, it's cold outside. Why aren't you home? Is something the matter?"

Gu Bei snapped out of his daze, finding his vision a little blurry, so he turned his face away and said, "It's nothing, I'll head back now. Thank you—"

The security guard quickly said, "Your voice is hoarse, it sounds like you're catching a cold. Go back and keep warm, and have a bowl of ginger soup, it should help."

Gu Bei didn't turn around, but waved to him and then walked quickly towards his own unit.

In the elevator, my phone rang, and the caller ID showed Zhou Danhan.

Without a second thought, Gu Bei hung up.

But Zhou Danhan persisted and immediately called back.

Gu Bei hung up several times, but when he got home, he saw Zhou Danhan calling again, so he answered the call.

Zhou Danhan's voice was anxious: "Brother Gu Bei, what's online is all fabricated, it has nothing to do with me. Please believe me."

She had been discussing with Fu Weiya and the company's publicity department how to deal with this crisis, and they spent the whole night racking their brains but couldn't come up with any good solutions.

The video that Ruan Mianmian released was so hardcore that they simply couldn't explain it.

Finally, the head of the publicity department offered two public relations strategies: "First, admit the mistake, apologize, and say that you will correct it in the future and are willing to make compensation. Second, deny it to the end, insist that it was an AI video, and issue a lawyer's letter to the fans."

Of course, this so-called lawyer's letter is just to scare people and appease fans; they will never actually sue anyone.

Zhou Danhan has always looked down on Ruan Mianmian, so why would she apologize?

Moreover, she firmly believes that apologizing would ruin her reputation and completely destroy her career in the entertainment industry.

She was also not satisfied with the second option, but there was no better solution at the moment. Fu Weiya contacted several powerful public relations agencies, but they all said they couldn't do it and refused to take the job.

Therefore, Zhou Danhan ultimately chose the second option.

With the help of two entertainment companies, she has a very good chance of making a comeback if she can appease her die-hard fans who are willing to fight for her.

After choosing the second option, Zhou Danhan immediately wanted to contact Gu Bei.

Firstly, she wanted to solidify her relationship with Gu Bei and ensure that Gu Bei's entertainment company would continue to help her in the future. Secondly, she wanted to find out if Gu Bei was paying attention to anything new online. If he was, she would explain it; if he wasn't, she would offer a casual explanation and shift all the blame onto Ruan Mianmian.

When she made the phone call, Zhou Danhan tended to believe that Gu Bei didn't know.

Because Gu Bei has to manage several companies, he can't possibly have time to read about the online arguments.

But after several attempts, Gu Bei hung up immediately, forcing her to believe that Gu Bei had seen the farce unfolding online.

Ruan Mianmian's live stream tonight attacking her has made it onto eight trending topics; you can see it almost anywhere you go online.

Zhou Danhan was afraid that Gu Bei would ignore her because of this, so she frantically made phone calls to try to explain—she had already thought of how to explain in advance, so this could be considered as being prepared.

The call finally went through, and Zhou Danhan immediately explained that everything online was fake and that she had been slandered.

Gu Bei laughed, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Zhou Danhan, I misjudged you this time. But it's alright, there's always next time." After saying that, he hung up the phone and immediately blacklisted the number.

I never imagined that after years of hard work in the business world, I would be fooled by a young girl.

He underestimated women.

Gu Bei sat down, rubbed his temples, and closed his eyes wearily.

In my mind, it was as if I were flashing back to the two videos that Ruan Mianmian had posted, playing over and over again.

He clutched his chest, writhing in pain.

That girl, the girl he had searched for a thousand times, had actually been treated like that, had actually been bullied in such a terrified and helpless state.

Gu Bei had seen a lot of darkness, but he was shocked by the viciousness of students like Zhou Danhan and Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen was sent abroad by his family on business. When he learned that Ruan Mianmian was going to respond to Ruan Mianmian about being her body double and the rumors on the internet, he immediately bought a ticket and flew back.

It was already 2 a.m. when we landed.

As soon as Su Jingchen landed, he went online to find out the current public opinion situation.

He believes that Ruan Mianmian's clarification this time will not be very effective, because Zhou Danhan has two entertainment companies backing her, which is enough to turn black into white.

He was reading the online comments now because he wanted to learn more so he could "enlighten" and "comfort" Ruan Mianmian, and make her fall in love with him after being so hurt.

This method didn't work when she was in school because there weren't many bullies. Now, the whole internet is attacking her, which is a thousand times more terrifying than before. She should be scared and never recover, right?

She should finally understand that only he is her warm harbor, right?

As for the Zhang family, they are powerful, but this is an entertainment industry matter. The people who are criticizing them are netizens across the internet. What can the Zhang family do?

They could only watch helplessly.

Su Jingchen looked at his phone excitedly.

The next moment, after seeing the top ten trending topics, his cheerful smile vanished, and his whole body began to tremble violently.

Zhou Danhan actually lost?

How can this be?

Su Jingchen quickly opened the trending topic about Ruan Mianmian's clarification and looked down at it.

When Su Jingchen saw Ruan Mianmian say she had evidence, his tightly furrowed brows never relaxed.

His body was tense, and he sat upright, watching the video while recalling his words and actions at the time.

After reading all the clarifications, Su Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, but was also filled with anger and resentment.

He breathed a sigh of relief because, in the secretly filmed video, he wasn't particularly despicable, and what he did wasn't exactly outrageous.

He was both angry and resentful because Ruan Mianmian said she would rather be in a mental hospital than be with him, and scolded him for doing so many bad things that he knew how to be cautious.

He didn't understand, he couldn't figure out why Ruan Mianmian didn't like him.

Aren't all the male protagonists in those female-oriented novels like this?

Don't all female protagonists love the male protagonist to the point of obsession?

Why can't he?

Ruan Mianmian is sick!

The next day was a lively one for many.

Zhou Danhan and Fu Weiya were very busy. Their phones kept receiving abusive and threatening messages, but because they had set their phones to block unknown numbers, they didn't receive many calls.

However, just the number of calls that came in was enough to cause Fu Weiya and Zhou Danhan a lot of pain.

Because without exception, all of these calls were made by the brands themselves.
