Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

Amidst the varied gazes of the crowd, Zhou Ran walked straight towards the broadcasting room.

Everyone knows who he's going to confess to, especially Shi Wanmeng and Su Muqing. They just learned from Yuan Xin that she had already made things clear with Zhou Ran that afternoon, and seeing this scene now makes them feel like they've swallowed a fly.

Shi Wanmeng squeezed Yuan Xin's hand, which was hanging by her side, and looked at her with a hint of worry and concern, which earned her a comforting look from Yuan Xin.

A moment later, Zhou Ran's voice rang out from inside the villa.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Ran. Thank you to the program team for giving me this opportunity to speak my mind."

"Here, I want to say loudly to a girl that I'm sorry and that I love you."

"We had nearly six wonderful years together, but I didn't know how to cherish them and went down the wrong path. Now I know I was wrong and I've realized what I should have cherished most. So, are you still willing to stay with me?"

"Yuan Xin, I love you, please give me another chance!"

After Zhou Ran finished speaking, the hall fell silent. Yuan Xin kept her head down, and no one could see her expression.

My God, does he think he's cool?

[Didn't Yuan Xin already reject him privately this afternoon? By publicly declaring it to everyone, did he even consider the girl's feelings?]

[From Yuan Xin's perspective, I really wish I could disappear into a crack in the ground.]

[Don't think like that. Yuan Xin did nothing wrong. She's the one who should be crawling on the ground.]

[I'm not saying Yuan Xin did anything wrong, but this is just too awkward.]

I think Zhou Ran is really brave. She didn't give up even after being rejected this afternoon. It seems she really knows she was wrong.

They say a prodigal son's return is more precious than gold; Yuan Xin, give him a chance, who knows?

Yeah, I think so too. After all, it's been six years. Who knows if someone else could have done a better job?

[My god, are all the people above Zhou Ran's shills? What kind of values ​​do they have?]

[This is horrifying! Beautiful lady, you should focus on your career. What on earth is this?!]

The live stream chat instantly erupted into a cacophony of noise, and Sister Zhang's pre-prepared press releases began to take effect, with the online outcry for Zhou Ran's pursuit of love growing louder and louder.

Yuan Xin's agent had been keeping a close eye on the live stream. Seeing that Zhou Ran's team was clearly behind these actions, she didn't hesitate to call Ye Xing.

At that moment, Ye Xing was on a business trip out of town discussing a project and didn't have the time or energy to watch the live stream. After receiving Xiao Dong's call, he quickly opened his laptop to find out the details.

When he saw Yuan Xin clearly reject Zhou Ran at the beach that afternoon, the fatigue from a day of business vanished, and he couldn't help but smile. However, his good mood didn't last long. Soon, he saw the clip of Zhou Ran's public confession, and his face instantly darkened.

If his assistant were there, they would probably think their CEO was playing some kind of face-changing game.

After understanding what had happened, Ye Xing checked the online public opinion, and his already gloomy face turned completely black. As someone who had started as an agent and successfully managed an entertainment company, he easily saw through the ulterior motives of Zhou Ran's team.

This scumbag not only betrayed Yuan Xin emotionally, but now he wants to use her to kick her while she's down to clear his name. Ha, I really underestimated him back then.

Ye Xing immediately picked up his phone, made a few calls, gave a detailed explanation, and then stared blankly out the dark window.

I hope Xiaoxin won't blame herself when she finds out, though of course she may never have the chance to know.

Soon, paparazzi released some previously taken photos of Zhou Ran on a date, stating directly that the mysterious woman was not Yuan Xin, and that more photos would be released the next day, which sparked a lot of speculation among netizens.

Given the buzz surrounding Zhou Ran's recent public confession during the "Love Code" livestream, this photo, which was deliberately amplified, quickly went viral and trended on social media within half an hour of its release.

Some gossip bloggers quickly followed suit, starting to analyze the timeline of Zhou Ran's cheating and who the mistress was, causing Zhou Ran's reputation, which had been improving, to turn around again.

When Sister Zhang saw that her efforts were quickly reversed, she realized that Yuan Xin's team probably didn't want to be used as a stepping stone and had started to take action as well.

She could only immediately call the company's public relations department, hoping to get more support, but the response she received completely panicked her. The head of the public relations department told her that they had contacted several paparazzi teams, hoping to pay to buy out the photos and stop them from releasing the information, but all of them refused.

"Sister Zhang, it's not that we haven't tried hard enough, it's just that the impact is too great. The whole internet is talking about this, and the hype just won't die down." The head of the public relations department was a bit embarrassed. They'd been working so many overtime hours lately because of Zhou Ran.

"Can't I even pay for the photos? How about giving me more?"

“No, they rejected it outright and didn’t even listen to our quote.” After a pause, the other party still said truthfully, “Sister Zhang, I don’t think this is simple. Paparazzi don’t usually give the same story. We need to report this.”

"Okay, thank you, you've worked hard."

Sister Zhang hung up the phone, somewhat dejected. Once it was reported, the company's decision was uncertain. It wasn't uncommon for someone embroiled in such negative news to be completely abandoned and sidelined. Although she had mentally prepared herself, she had, after all, personally nurtured him; this outcome was truly…

Deciding to take one last gamble, Sister Zhang asked a friend in the industry to get the phone number of Yuan Xin's agent, Dong Ming, to see if they could negotiate. Just when she was about to completely lose hope after the third time the call was played, the call was finally answered.

"Hello, who is this?" A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, this is Zhou Ran's agent, Zhang Rong." After hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, Zhang Rong swallowed and continued, "I'd like to discuss today's events with you."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, and just when Sister Zhang thought she was about to be hung up on, a response came: "We're watching the live stream. Yuan Xin is a key artist in our company, so if there are any bad rumors, the company will definitely protect her."

"I understand, I understand. It's just that I'll be keeping an eye on Zhou Ran," Sister Zhang said with some difficulty. "Could you please be lenient with him as well?"

Dong Ming glanced at the message his boss had sent him on his computer and chuckled, "I'm fine on my end, but there are many things beyond my control, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

Disappointed, he hung up the phone. He hadn't grasped at this last straw, and could only hope that the company still saw value in him.

Just when everyone thought Yuan Xin wouldn't respond, she looked up at the director and said, "If I also respond with the microphone, it's just a refusal, so it can't be considered a mutual success, right? Does that mean I've used up my opportunity? Will I get a reward?"

This series of questions slowly brought a question mark to Director Wang's face.

This was an idea I had never considered before.
