HuaYu: The most muscular director in history!

"What's going on!"

"Manager Xiang, Manager Xiang."

On the twentieth floor of Xingnanfei Group, Xiang Nan nodded to several people while looking at Chen Yaochuan beside him.

Chuan Ge serves as Xiang Nan's music manager, thus taking on the responsibilities of a manager as well.

He called early this morning, telling Xiang Nan to come to the company immediately, as it was urgent.

"Speak up, what's up?"

"It can't be explained in just a few words, let's sit down and talk!"

The two hurried to Xiang Nan's office. After they sat down on the sofa, Chen Yaochuan took out his computer.

"Let's not talk about how your fans criticize you every day anymore, okay?"

Xiang Nan pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Chen Yaochuan sniffed and opened the notebook in front of him.

"Yesterday, July 2nd, your senior sister officially filed a lawsuit against Star Shine Company."

"Um……"

Xiang Nan crossed his arms, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and his face was expressionless.

Chen Yaocuan continued, "She terminated her contract with Star Overseas, but dragged you into the interview. She's trying to portray herself as a victim and use public opinion to force Star Overseas to let her go."

Xiang Nan remained expressionless.

Chen Yaochuan clicked his tongue, somewhat disapproving of his pretentious manner: "She said she's your ex-girlfriend."

"..."

"It's trending."

"..."

"His two other ex-girlfriends also came out with him."

"And there's more than one?" Xiang Nan finally showed an expression. He pursed his lips, his brows furrowing into a deep frown. "I have three ex-girlfriends? You're quite the player, aren't you? Which idiots were they?"

Chen Yaochuan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Idiot, huh? You'll regret this!"

He pulled out the most widely circulated news article.

"The first one is Huang Shengyi. She said that when you were a freshman, she pursued you! She said she was unlucky, that she couldn't get your true love, that you dumped her, and that she was also oppressed by your agency."

"..." Xiang Nan leaned back on the sofa, staring speechlessly at the ceiling: "How much do you really believe?"

"You have a lot of male netizens who criticize you, but even more female netizens criticize her."

After saying this, Chen Yaochuan noticed that he remained calm.

Chen Yaochuan raised an eyebrow and decided to finish the remaining two sentences in one go.

"Yui Aragaki's interview video from 'Little Days' has been unearthed by reporters, and this is real evidence. She herself said that your favorite male celebrity is you."

"Get the point right. The report about his ex-girlfriend—what solid evidence is there? Can't I even allow other people to like me?"

Chen Yaochuan slapped his forehead: "Oh, right!"

He looked at the third person, and then his eyebrows started twitching and dancing.

"The third one, well, my ex-girlfriend, Liu Yifei."

"What the hell?!"

Xiang Nan rolled over and grabbed the computer.

[Xiang Nan's ex-girlfriend, Liu Yifei, fell in love while filming "Chinese Paladin," but their love turned to hate. They broke up after filming wrapped and have not been in contact for a long time...]

"Ring ring—"

I had just said I wouldn't contact them anymore when the phone rang.

"Feed?"

"Wow, you big blockhead! You're so capable! So I was the other woman!"

Xiang Nan pouted and made a "subway old man" expression.

Chen Yaochuan raised an eyebrow, then pushed himself up on his knees.

"I'm going to use the restroom."

He lifted his foot and walked away.

Ten minutes later, when he returned, Xiang Nan was still on the phone.

"Little Pudding, my feelings for you are as clear as the sun and moon, as witnessed by heaven and earth, and as clear as my conscience..."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing and get on with the rumors."

Xiang Nan took a deep breath, glanced at Brother Chuan, and then hung up the phone.

"How do I do it?"

Xiang Nan licked his lips, still pondering in his mind.

Of the three rumored girlfriends, Yui Aragaki and Yifei were purely media hype. After all, there are many talented and philandering men in the music industry, so the media feels justified in stirring up trouble.

The most crucial element is the Yellow Saint Cloth.

He didn't want to strain his relationship with his fellow disciples unless absolutely necessary.

But... you were in the wrong for provoking me first.

Xiang Nan wasn't good at using online trolls, and he only had a superficial understanding of the gossip from his previous life, since he was an ordinary person in his past life.

But he took the capital route, and capital has its own way of doing things!

"Get ready, Brother Chuan, we're holding a press conference tomorrow."

"Huh?" Chen Yaochuan was taken aback at first, then he realized the key point.

"no problem!"

……

The next day, at 3 PM.

The 8th floor of Xingnanfei is still that small auditorium.

The stage was once again surrounded by cameras and microphones, but this time only Xiang Nan, Chen Yaochuan, and Xiao Lan were present.

"Ahem, given the recent uproar surrounding the 'Xiang Nan's ex-girlfriend' scandal, a press conference to respond to this matter is about to begin. First, let's invite Xiang Nan to speak."

Among the three, Xiang Nan grabbed the microphone, looked at the flashing lights in front of him, and held up three fingers: "You only have three days."

The reporters in the audience were taken aback.

What does this mean?

"You have only three days to apologize to me and retract your previous statements! This includes Huang Shengyi, the person who spread the rumors, and the media outlets that disseminated them."

The reporters in the audience were stunned again, and some even wanted to laugh.

Don't you have any awareness of your identity as an artist?

Media professionals are the natural nemesis of celebrities. Aren't you afraid we'll write something inappropriate about you?

In the early 2000s, when information was not readily available, the media could indeed influence an artist's fate to some extent.

For example... Lin Xinru accused a certain Jie of a tongue kissing incident.

Despite the amplification from online trolls and the media, "Young Justice Bao" is still airing, but a certain actor has been criticized by the public to the point that he had to leave the entertainment industry.

Now you, Xiang Nan, actually want to confront the media head-on? Aren't you just dreaming?

"I have 40 million in cash flow, and I like to work my butt off. Come on if you don't believe me."

"???"

Dude, is this how you play? Are you serious?

"Cough cough—"

Xiao Lan chimed in, "According to our client, Ms. Huang's previous statement about her being Xiang Nan's ex-girlfriend is pure fabrication! We have already contacted relevant classmates and teachers at the Beijing Film Academy, who can all testify in court. Furthermore—we have collected evidence from 23 media outlets, including Sina.com and Southern Entertainment News, that spread the rumors, and we are ready to initiate legal proceedings at any time."

Oh no! He's serious!

Chen Yaocuan also grabbed the microphone: "This incident has been a huge blow to our artist, after all, he is not only the king of the music scene, but also the chairman of Xing Nanfei Group. Therefore, we have zero tolerance for this kind of thing, and we will never let it go once it is discovered."

Xiang Nan raised his head and looked at the camera below: "I'll say it again, I respect your newspaper. I'm taking 40 million to sue you, and I hope you'll respect me in return. That's all!"

After saying that, he threw down the microphone and turned to leave.

"Hey! Xiang Nan, Xiang Nan!"

"Xiang Nan, would you like to do another interview?"

"Xiang Nan, are you really going to sue our newspaper?"

The crowd was in an uproar, and while some reporters were still trying to dig up more information, the clever reporters were already drafting their stories.

That same evening, Xiang Nan's "threat theory" spread online.

Before the newspapers could even react, lawyer's letters were already in the hands of their owners.

What the hell is this?

Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be three days?

The following day, two more trending topics appeared on Sina.com.

#No leniency, Xiang Nan launches a surprise attack: spending two million in legal fees, assigning an elite lawyer to each newspaper.#

#Xiang Nan sues Sina CEO Cao#

"What the hell does this have to do with me! I'm just a CEO's employee!"

At Sina.com headquarters, Cao Guowei sat in his boss's chair, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Xiang Nan's behavior was like that of a child, but he was indeed very young.

"If the newspapers are targeting you, then target the newspapers. If they want to take down Sina.com, why are you suing me personally?"

Just as he finished speaking, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Feed?"

"President Cao?"

Cao Guowei was taken aback.

That voice sounds familiar? I think I heard it around Chinese New Year?

"Who are you?"

"This is Xiang Nan. Mr. Cao, would you be interested in coming out for a chat?"
