After returning to City B, Zhang Yang hardly had a rest, and went to the company that night.
Qu Xi knew that the more nervous he looked, the more anxious Zhang Yang was, so he didn't ask any questions.Zhang Yang was not at home that night, he locked himself in the room and thought a lot.After coming to this world, he got used to learning and adapting as a weak person, but he almost forgot that he was once a strong person.
In such a dangerous environment as the palace, he can survive, but can't he come to the entertainment industry?
In the final analysis, the intrigues in every world are similar. No matter how many years have passed, people's hearts are the same.
That night, Qu Xi flipped through Weibo topics and comments, thinking a lot.
Judging from the current situation, there are almost two things about him being exposed:
The first is the photos of the clubhouse in S city, and the vague allusions.This matter is related to Xiao Tong, Yang Qingli, and the director of Taili, so it seems complicated, but it is not impossible.Because he was invited by the program group to participate in "Best Partner", and more than once.
If the company wants to come forward to clarify the rumors that Qu Xi went to the show through the back door, it only needs to disclose the invitation letter or invitation email of the program group.The reason why he appeared in the club may be more difficult to explain, but as long as the fans' attention is diverted and the statement of "going to the show through the back door" is refuted, the reason for his appearance in the club may not be mentioned in the statement.
The second point is to use the trophy to talk about the matter, breaking the news about the relationship between Qu Xi and Zhang Yang.The person Quxi said that night was indeed Zhang Yang, but just one photo doesn't explain anything.And to refute this, the most direct way is for Qu Xi to give the trophy to someone else.
But to whom?
This person must not only be persuasive, but also have real weight in Quxi's heart.
Qu Xi pondered a whole circle, and finally thought of a suitable candidate.
That night, he wrote the thoughts he had sorted out into an email, and then sent it to Ding Yi.Because Zhang Yang had told him not to think wildly, he didn't want Zhang Yang to know that this was his own idea, so that Zhang Yang wouldn't worry.When sending it to Ding Yi, he specifically indicated that Ding Yi should propose feasible plans in her own name.
Maybe Zhang Yang and the others thought more thoughtfully, but Qu Xi still wanted to do his part.
Shifang Entertainment, Zhang Yang, Ding Yi and several related personnel of the company were discussing countermeasures with the PR company overnight.Li and the others have already found someone to check the media that broke the news, and they can basically confirm which marketing company is behind it.But these are not the most important, what is important is the instigator behind the scenes.
Marketing companies use money to do things, and will not easily reveal the identity of the funder.But Zhang Yang knew it well. After all, Qu Xi hadn't made his official debut when he was recording a show in S City. No one would take a photo of a passer-by except those who cared, and they kept it all the time.It was obvious who the instigator was.
Zhang Yang was a little surprised that Zhang Ji was now being guarded by the old man, but Zhang Ji's dog hadn't forgotten to look for opportunities to bite people outside.Or, all of this was planned by them long ago, and they just waited for the eve of the release of "The Storm" to reveal it.
"The statement can be sent out early tomorrow morning. At that time, take a screenshot of the invitation email of "Best Partner" to clarify the point of [hidden rules for joining the group]. Tomorrow, "Best Partner" official Weibo will also forward it Our statement." A planner from a public relations company said: "As for other details, I don't think we should rush to respond for the time being. The more you respond, the more complicated the problem will be."
Their plan was basically the same as what Qu Xi speculated.
"Also, for some public figures who are better friends with Quxi, please communicate with them in advance, and don't speak up for now. At this time, public opinion is in a period of explosion, and rashly opening up to defend may make things worse, etc. After this stage has passed, it will be twice as effective to change the public opinion." Another planner of the public relations company said.
Good steel must be used sharply, and public figures generally have only one effective chance to speak out in such incidents. If they speak too much, it will not be effective. If they speak too early, they will not be effective enough.Waiting until the critical moment to express an opinion will maximize the effect they want.
Everyone seemed to approve of this plan after hearing the words, without any objection.
"As for the trophy, I don't think we need to explain it for the time being. If there is no stone hammer, let's put it aside for now." The planner said.
At this moment, Ding Yi finished reading Qu Xi's email, and said, "What if Qu Xi is asked to give the trophy to someone else? Isn't this a slap in the face [the trophy is for Zhang Yang]?"
The planner's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "This method is feasible, and it saves the effort of explaining. It's just to see if we can find suitable and persuasive people."
"Yes, the one from before..." Ding Yi said hurriedly.
"No." Zhang Yang on the side suddenly said: "Change another method, or just like what I said just now, let's put it on hold for now."
Ding Yi was a little puzzled and said: "I know this trophy is of great significance to Quxi. At worst, I can get it back in the future. It's okay to send it out now and treat it as a deposit. Why do you think it's not possible?"
"I hope this matter can be resolved at the company level, without the need for our artists to go off in person." Zhang Yang said.
Well, this one will feel sorry for others, Ding Yi didn't say anything after hearing the words, the issue of the trophy is indeed not a stone hammer, so let's put it on hold.
When Zhang Yang returned home, it was already dawn.
There was a faint smell of rice in the room, he changed into his slippers and went to the kitchen, where he saw Qu Xi wearing an apron and chopping vegetables in the kitchen.This picture is irresistible to anyone.At that moment, Zhang Yang felt that the exhaustion in his whole body had suddenly subsided, and what was left was only a little warmth from the bottom of his heart, which just rightly wrapped the most vulnerable part of his heart.
After hearing the movement, Qu Xi said without looking back: "Wait a little longer, I'll finish cutting right away."
Zhang Yang went over to wash his hands, then took the kitchen knife from Qu Xi's hand, and asked, "When did you learn to cook?"
"I haven't learned it yet, I just want to try." Qu Xi smiled embarrassedly: "But I know how to cook porridge, it's very simple."
As he spoke, he took a look at the cooked porridge, and he seemed to have a sense of accomplishment.
Zhang Yang looked at the young man, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and he asked, "How did you know I would come back at this time?"
"I... guessed it." Qu Xi said with a flicker of eyes.
"Ding Yi told you, right?" Zhang Yang said, "I just said, how could she ask such a question."
Qu Xi didn't expect Zhang Yang to be so wise after being tired all night, and he pierced himself so quickly, and hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, I'm just idle..."
"Who are you going to give the trophy to?" Zhang Yang stood there looking at him, still holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
Qu Xi was a little guilty, afraid that Zhang Yang would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "No one will be given away."
"Oh." Zhang Yang was probably too tired, he couldn't turn his head right now, he closed his eyes hard, and said, "Let me do it, you go outside and wait, there is a lot of oily smoke in the kitchen."
Although Zhang Yang usually appears indifferent in front of outsiders, he has always been very gentle when facing Qu Xi, and there are very few times when he is as serious as today, so Qu Xi subconsciously thinks that Zhang Yang thinks that he is worrying about himself, so he doesn't mind. happy.
"Let me serve the rice." Qu Xi walked over to take the bowl.
Zhang Yang looked back at him, and said, "Don't burn yourself."
Qu Xi is actually not stupid, it's just that Zhang Yang usually doesn't let him touch these things, so he subconsciously thinks that Qu Xi can't do well.After seeing that Qu Xi had finished filling the porridge and brought it outside safely, Zhang Yang continued to chop vegetables.
After Zhang Yang finished chopping and frying the vegetables, Qu Xi was standing at the kitchen door waiting for him when he came out.Zhang Yang looked at the boy suspiciously, and the boy reached out to take the plate in Zhang Yang's hand, and made a gesture of asking for a kiss.
"Wait a minute..." Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment, then kissed the corner of Quxi's lips lightly.
This kiss was too perfunctory, Qu Xi thought, Zhang Yang was really upset.
"I'm going to wash my face first." Zhang Yang said and went to the bathroom. He came out 5 minutes later, walked up to the lonely young man, gently lifted Qu Xi's chin with his hand, and kissed him solemnly. .
There was a faint mint aroma in Zhang Yang's mouth, and Qu Xi's heart skipped a beat, only then did he realize that the reason why the other party didn't kiss him was because he was worried about not brushing his teeth.It's hard to see that Zhang Yang is so particular about brushing his teeth and washing his face before kissing.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Yang sat across from Quxi and stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon.
Qu Xi said with a smile on his face: "It's nothing, I still want to kiss you."
Zhang Yang was taken aback when he heard the words, and was almost provoked by Qu Xi's words.Qu Xi usually looks ignorant, but he doesn't give a damn when he is really seductive. Zhang Yang hardly has any restraint in front of him.
But today I am really tired. I took a flight for more than ten hours yesterday and had a meeting last night. I have to go out later.If he really did something, he might not be able to go out for a day.
"Don't make trouble, I have to go out later." Zhang Yang said.
"I want to go out too." Qu Xi said, "After I finish breakfast, I want to visit Teacher Chen."
Zhang Yang was startled when he heard the words, and looked up at Qu Xi, a thought flashed in his mind.Sure enough, after a while, Qu Xi said: "Before you came back this morning, Teacher Chen and I talked on the phone. Teacher Chen found out about my award and was very happy for me. He said he has an unwritten rule, and all of them The student won the award, and the trophies have to be stored in his display cabinet for a year, and he asked me if I would like to."
Qu Xi is Teacher Chen's student, if the other party really brought up this matter, Qu Xi would naturally not be able to refuse.
But in the current situation, Teacher Chen's request is tantamount to rescuing Qu Xi.
"Why don't I remember this rule?" Zhang Yang asked.
Qu Xi said: "I originally wanted to ask Mr. Chen for help, but when I called Mr. Chen, before I brought it up, Mr. Chen took the initiative to say this. He also read the news and knew about our affairs. I think , He is trying to save us."
Zhang Yang was silent for a long time when he heard the words, Qu Xi felt a little uncomfortable seeing him frowning.Qu Xi walked over and squatted next to Zhang Yang, took Zhang Yang's hand and said, "I know that the matter will pass sooner or later, but I hope that before it passes, I can face it with you. Besides, I am already involved in the matter , cannot be avoided."
"But..." Zhang Yang frowned.
Qu Xi interrupted him: "Zhang Yang, I love you, love you like you love me. You can't treat me forever as a young boy, I..." Qu Xi wanted to say, I was younger than you It's two years older! !
Zhang Yang's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he leaned over and embraced the young man in his arms.The boy he had always wanted to protect had grown up and become a man who could withstand the wind and rain.On that cold and muddy rainy night not long ago, his boy had pulled him back from the moment of life and death with flesh and blood, and now, his boy still wanted to stand in front of him.
"Okay." Zhang Yang said, "I won't... treat you like a child anymore."
"I'm not a child at all." Qu Xi said.
That's right, Qu Xi is no longer a child.It is Zhang Yang's wishful thinking that he always wants to hide the other party behind him, but one day, Qu Xi will learn to face the world.Although Zhang Yang was not used to this kind of cognition, he still decided to respect Qu Xi's wishes and stop hiding everything from him.
After breakfast, Zhang Yang drove Quxi to Teacher Chen.Before leaving, he was afraid that Quxi would do something again without authorization, so he told him: "The public relations company will draw up the public relations process. If you have any ideas, you must inform them in advance, so as not to make them feel bad. response."
"I know, I will discuss it with Sister Ding first." Qu Xi said.
Zhang Yang was still a little worried when he heard the words, but looking at Qu Xi's appearance, it seemed that he was full of fighting spirit. Instead, he regarded this matter as a battle, without any depression or anger.In contrast, Zhang Yang overreacted.
After delivering Quxi, Zhang Yang drove to the group headquarters.
The old man came early in the morning. He was a little impatient after waiting for Zhang Yang all morning, but when he saw the bloodshot eyes, he felt distressed immediately, and he couldn't say anything to blame.After Zhang Yang's accident last time, the old man has changed a lot. He cares and cares about his son obviously more than before.
"Tell me, what's going on." The old man said straight to the point.
Zhang Yang didn't intend to hide anything, he told the old man exactly what happened to Yang Qingli last time in City S.
"Did you call the police?" the old man asked.
"At that time, I didn't want to make a big scene, so I beat them up, and the rest were fired by the stage later." Zhang Yang said.
The old man thought for a while, and said: "This matter can't be let go easily, otherwise in the future, everyone will think that our people are easy to handle, and they will come out to make trouble every now and then, and it will be annoying to death. Call the police, what should we do? !"
"Ah? You mean, what happened last time?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.
"Yes, sue Yang Qingli for attempted sexual/harassment/harassment." The old man said: "If he is not benevolent, we will be unrighteous. There is no need to cover up."
Zhang Yang thought about it after hearing the words, and felt that the old man's words made sense.He had always been scruples about not wanting to bring Qu Xi into it, so the method he came up with was to suppress the matter on the surface, and then find an opportunity to deal with Yang Qingli behind the scenes.But the old man's method, although simple and rude, can completely ruin Yang Qingli's reputation. At the same time, the rumor of Quxi's "hidden rules to join the team" is also true, and someone has framed him.
It really kills two birds with one stone.
The only thing he was worried about was whether Qu Xi and Xiao Tong would be criticized because of this incident.
"I know what you're worried about." The old man said, "Both of them are big men, besides, didn't the matter fail? The victim is innocent. It's so simple. You have nothing to be afraid of. I see you It’s just that the authorities are obsessed, and when it comes to the children at home, the brain is not working well, and there is no hope.”
What's more, if the public opinion is really paced, the public relations company can also think of a countermeasure in advance.Zhang Yang was touched by the old man, and immediately realized that he was too cautious in this matter, but he couldn't handle the matter thoroughly.
"Okay, then let's call the police." Zhang Yang said.
"I asked Lao Wu to contact you for you. The matter happened in City S, and you should contact the local police." The old man said.
After a while, he called Old Wu in. After getting a general understanding of what happened, Old Wu asked, "Is there a video of the clubhouse? Is there any other evidence? It's best to have all the evidence."
After being reminded by Uncle Wu, Zhang Yang really thought of one thing.At that time, Xiao Tong had sent Qu Xi a recording, and he had kept that recording all the time. It was originally only held in Yang Qingli's hands, but he didn't expect it to become strong evidence now.
After roughly arranging the matter, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yang told the old man about the follow-up public opinion plan.
The old man was quite satisfied after hearing this, and said: "If you really plan to live with that kid in the future, I suggest entrusting his brokerage contract to another company. First, so that others won't make fuss about your relationship, Secondly, you care too much, and the judgment you make is not objective enough. At critical moments, not only will you not be able to help him, but it may even be counterproductive."
Zhang Yang was taken aback when he heard the words, did the old man verbally acquiesce in his relationship with Quxi?
"Recently, I have been troubled by your successive incidents. After this incident is settled, I want to retreat for a while to recuperate. You should also hurry up and think about joining the headquarters. Don't keep procrastinating." The old man said.
Zhang Yang agreed when he heard the words, but he didn't agree in person.
After all, he still has some scruples about this matter.
The old man was well aware of his son's temperament, so he said, "If you're afraid that I'll take advantage of you, you can go abroad to get the certificate with your little friend first. I can't possibly force you to remarry, right?"
"!!!" Looking at the old man, Zhang Yang felt that he might be dreaming!
"Let's go, hurry up and go back to sleep." The old man said: "You have to feel a sense of crisis yourself. The children are so much younger than you. When they reach your age, you will almost become middle-aged. You should When taking care of it, you have to know how to take care of it.”
Zhang Yang came out of the old man's office with a black thread in his head, feeling that he might have met a fake father today!
That morning, Shifang Entertainment released a statement on its official Weibo account.
The content of the statement refuted the fact that a marketing account previously spread on the Internet that Quxi relied on unspoken rules to participate in "Best Partner". .There was more than a week between the two emails, and Ding Yi replied with the words "under consideration".
After the statement was released, the official Weibo of the "Best Partner" program group reposted the statement, severely condemning the rumor-making marketing account.However, the Weibo of the program group did not speak for Quxi, but condemned the rumormongers for slandering the program group, because when "Best Partner" invites guests, it always first considers the fit of the guests' temperament and the theme of the current issue To say that they accept unspoken rules means questioning the quality of the entire program group!
As soon as the two statements were released, fans who were still watching on the Internet breathed a sigh of relief.After all, there are too many reversals in this year, and the risk of easily standing in line is too great, so although many fans are unwilling to believe the content of the news, they still hold a wait-and-see attitude, and not many come out to complain for Quxi.
Soon after the statement was issued, passers-by who spoke for Quxi began to appear one after another.
On the same day, both Li Ran and Xiao Tong forwarded the statement, but said nothing unnecessary.
Finally, the wind direction of the topic gradually began to tilt towards Quxi.However, on the second day, a batch of marketing accounts reappeared on Weibo, bringing the rhythm of the topic to—why did Quxi appear in a place like the clubhouse?The marketing account also took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar to the so-called unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, saying that when Xiao Xianrou first debuted, he would do everything possible to find a thigh hug...
There was a turning point in the topic on the Internet, which Zhang Yang had expected.
Moreover, the pace of rebuttal they arranged was intentionally delayed, and the force would be astonishingly strong before they acted after the matter fermented.
This time, Zhang Yang did not intend to give Yang Qingli a chance to stand up.
"Actually, I think what they said is quite reasonable." Qu Xiwo read Weibo on the sofa, seriously analyzing the arguments of the marketing account, and found some truth.
Zhang Yang had just taken a shower, and his hair was still covered with water. He wiped his hair and said, "Why don't you call it a marketing account? The way they guide public opinion is to say some truths and opinions that are not wrong, and then secretly change the concept and put them The ultimate goal to be expressed is replaced with the correct point of view, so that netizens are accidentally fooled."
"Oh, it's true when you say that." Qu Xi nodded approvingly.
Zhang Yang threw the towel aside casually, then sat next to Quxi, pulled him over and hugged him, and said, "What did you say this morning?"
"To Teacher Chen's house?" Qu Xi asked.
"Not this sentence." Zhang Yang said.
Qu Xi thought for a while: "I don't remember, give me a reminder."
There was a bit of a smile on the corner of Zhang Yang's mouth, and he stared at the young man with burning eyes, deliberately keeping silent.
Qu Xi finally couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "It's... the sentence that I want to kiss you?"
"You've learned badly." After Zhang Yang said that, he pulled the boy into his arms, and kissed him heavily.
"Wait a minute..." Qu Xi stretched out his hand and pushed Zhang Yang's chest, his breath was a little messy: "Do you...have strength?"
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Yang asked meaningfully.
Qu Xi said: "You have been more than 30 hours and haven't had a good rest. I'm afraid you... are too tired and have no strength."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang thought of what the old man said in the morning, and suddenly felt that his ability was ruthlessly questioned.
He turned over and grabbed Qu Xi's hand and pressed it on the sofa, and asked with a somewhat dangerous tone: "Whether I have strength, you will know if you try it?"
"I'm afraid you're tired..." Qu Xi said, still recklessly.
Zhang Yang really didn't have the patience to talk to the young man anymore, and immediately used his actions to prove whether he had the strength or not.
Qu Xi knew that the more nervous he looked, the more anxious Zhang Yang was, so he didn't ask any questions.Zhang Yang was not at home that night, he locked himself in the room and thought a lot.After coming to this world, he got used to learning and adapting as a weak person, but he almost forgot that he was once a strong person.
In such a dangerous environment as the palace, he can survive, but can't he come to the entertainment industry?
In the final analysis, the intrigues in every world are similar. No matter how many years have passed, people's hearts are the same.
That night, Qu Xi flipped through Weibo topics and comments, thinking a lot.

When Zhang Yang returned home, it was already dawn.
There was a faint smell of rice in the room, he changed into his slippers and went to the kitchen, where he saw Qu Xi wearing an apron and chopping vegetables in the kitchen.This picture is irresistible to anyone.At that moment, Zhang Yang felt that the exhaustion in his whole body had suddenly subsided, and what was left was only a little warmth from the bottom of his heart, which just rightly wrapped the most vulnerable part of his heart.
After hearing the movement, Qu Xi said without looking back: "Wait a little longer, I'll finish cutting right away."

Qu Xi is Teacher Chen's student, if the other party really brought up this matter, Qu Xi would naturally not be able to refuse.
But in the current situation, Teacher Chen's request is tantamount to rescuing Qu Xi.
"Why don't I remember this rule?" Zhang Yang asked.
Qu Xi said: "I originally wanted to ask Mr. Chen for help, but when I called Mr. Chen, before I brought it up, Mr. Chen took the initiative to say this. He also read the news and knew about our affairs. I think , He is trying to save us."
Zhang Yang was silent for a long time when he heard the words, Qu Xi felt a little uncomfortable seeing him frowning.Qu Xi walked over and squatted next to Zhang Yang, took Zhang Yang's hand and said, "I know that the matter will pass sooner or later, but I hope that before it passes, I can face it with you. Besides, I am already involved in the matter , cannot be avoided."
"But..." Zhang Yang frowned.
Qu Xi interrupted him: "Zhang Yang, I love you, love you like you love me. You can't treat me forever as a young boy, I..." Qu Xi wanted to say, I was younger than you It's two years older! !
Zhang Yang's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he leaned over and embraced the young man in his arms.The boy he had always wanted to protect had grown up and become a man who could withstand the wind and rain.On that cold and muddy rainy night not long ago, his boy had pulled him back from the moment of life and death with flesh and blood, and now, his boy still wanted to stand in front of him.
"Okay." Zhang Yang said, "I won't... treat you like a child anymore."
"I'm not a child at all." Qu Xi said.
That's right, Qu Xi is no longer a child.It is Zhang Yang's wishful thinking that he always wants to hide the other party behind him, but one day, Qu Xi will learn to face the world.Although Zhang Yang was not used to this kind of cognition, he still decided to respect Qu Xi's wishes and stop hiding everything from him.
After breakfast, Zhang Yang drove Quxi to Teacher Chen.Before leaving, he was afraid that Quxi would do something again without authorization, so he told him: "The public relations company will draw up the public relations process. If you have any ideas, you must inform them in advance, so as not to make them feel bad. response."
"I know, I will discuss it with Sister Ding first." Qu Xi said.
Zhang Yang was still a little worried when he heard the words, but looking at Qu Xi's appearance, it seemed that he was full of fighting spirit. Instead, he regarded this matter as a battle, without any depression or anger.In contrast, Zhang Yang overreacted.
After delivering Quxi, Zhang Yang drove to the group headquarters.
The old man came early in the morning. He was a little impatient after waiting for Zhang Yang all morning, but when he saw the bloodshot eyes, he felt distressed immediately, and he couldn't say anything to blame.After Zhang Yang's accident last time, the old man has changed a lot. He cares and cares about his son obviously more than before.
"Tell me, what's going on." The old man said straight to the point.
Zhang Yang didn't intend to hide anything, he told the old man exactly what happened to Yang Qingli last time in City S.
"Did you call the police?" the old man asked.
"At that time, I didn't want to make a big scene, so I beat them up, and the rest were fired by the stage later." Zhang Yang said.
The old man thought for a while, and said: "This matter can't be let go easily, otherwise in the future, everyone will think that our people are easy to handle, and they will come out to make trouble every now and then, and it will be annoying to death. Call the police, what should we do? !"
"Ah? You mean, what happened last time?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.
"Yes, sue Yang Qingli for attempted sexual/harassment/harassment." The old man said: "If he is not benevolent, we will be unrighteous. There is no need to cover up."
Zhang Yang thought about it after hearing the words, and felt that the old man's words made sense.He had always been scruples about not wanting to bring Qu Xi into it, so the method he came up with was to suppress the matter on the surface, and then find an opportunity to deal with Yang Qingli behind the scenes.But the old man's method, although simple and rude, can completely ruin Yang Qingli's reputation. At the same time, the rumor of Quxi's "hidden rules to join the team" is also true, and someone has framed him.
It really kills two birds with one stone.
The only thing he was worried about was whether Qu Xi and Xiao Tong would be criticized because of this incident.
"I know what you're worried about." The old man said, "Both of them are big men, besides, didn't the matter fail? The victim is innocent. It's so simple. You have nothing to be afraid of. I see you It’s just that the authorities are obsessed, and when it comes to the children at home, the brain is not working well, and there is no hope.”
What's more, if the public opinion is really paced, the public relations company can also think of a countermeasure in advance.Zhang Yang was touched by the old man, and immediately realized that he was too cautious in this matter, but he couldn't handle the matter thoroughly.
"Okay, then let's call the police." Zhang Yang said.
"I asked Lao Wu to contact you for you. The matter happened in City S, and you should contact the local police." The old man said.
After a while, he called Old Wu in. After getting a general understanding of what happened, Old Wu asked, "Is there a video of the clubhouse? Is there any other evidence? It's best to have all the evidence."
After being reminded by Uncle Wu, Zhang Yang really thought of one thing.At that time, Xiao Tong had sent Qu Xi a recording, and he had kept that recording all the time. It was originally only held in Yang Qingli's hands, but he didn't expect it to become strong evidence now.
After roughly arranging the matter, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yang told the old man about the follow-up public opinion plan.
The old man was quite satisfied after hearing this, and said: "If you really plan to live with that kid in the future, I suggest entrusting his brokerage contract to another company. First, so that others won't make fuss about your relationship, Secondly, you care too much, and the judgment you make is not objective enough. At critical moments, not only will you not be able to help him, but it may even be counterproductive."
Zhang Yang was taken aback when he heard the words, did the old man verbally acquiesce in his relationship with Quxi?
"Recently, I have been troubled by your successive incidents. After this incident is settled, I want to retreat for a while to recuperate. You should also hurry up and think about joining the headquarters. Don't keep procrastinating." The old man said.
Zhang Yang agreed when he heard the words, but he didn't agree in person.
After all, he still has some scruples about this matter.
The old man was well aware of his son's temperament, so he said, "If you're afraid that I'll take advantage of you, you can go abroad to get the certificate with your little friend first. I can't possibly force you to remarry, right?"
"!!!" Looking at the old man, Zhang Yang felt that he might be dreaming!
"Let's go, hurry up and go back to sleep." The old man said: "You have to feel a sense of crisis yourself. The children are so much younger than you. When they reach your age, you will almost become middle-aged. You should When taking care of it, you have to know how to take care of it.”
Zhang Yang came out of the old man's office with a black thread in his head, feeling that he might have met a fake father today!
That morning, Shifang Entertainment released a statement on its official Weibo account.
The content of the statement refuted the fact that a marketing account previously spread on the Internet that Quxi relied on unspoken rules to participate in "Best Partner". .There was more than a week between the two emails, and Ding Yi replied with the words "under consideration".
After the statement was released, the official Weibo of the "Best Partner" program group reposted the statement, severely condemning the rumor-making marketing account.However, the Weibo of the program group did not speak for Quxi, but condemned the rumormongers for slandering the program group, because when "Best Partner" invites guests, it always first considers the fit of the guests' temperament and the theme of the current issue To say that they accept unspoken rules means questioning the quality of the entire program group!
As soon as the two statements were released, fans who were still watching on the Internet breathed a sigh of relief.After all, there are too many reversals in this year, and the risk of easily standing in line is too great, so although many fans are unwilling to believe the content of the news, they still hold a wait-and-see attitude, and not many come out to complain for Quxi.
Soon after the statement was issued, passers-by who spoke for Quxi began to appear one after another.
On the same day, both Li Ran and Xiao Tong forwarded the statement, but said nothing unnecessary.
Finally, the wind direction of the topic gradually began to tilt towards Quxi.However, on the second day, a batch of marketing accounts reappeared on Weibo, bringing the rhythm of the topic to—why did Quxi appear in a place like the clubhouse?The marketing account also took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar to the so-called unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, saying that when Xiao Xianrou first debuted, he would do everything possible to find a thigh hug...
There was a turning point in the topic on the Internet, which Zhang Yang had expected.
Moreover, the pace of rebuttal they arranged was intentionally delayed, and the force would be astonishingly strong before they acted after the matter fermented.
This time, Zhang Yang did not intend to give Yang Qingli a chance to stand up.
"Actually, I think what they said is quite reasonable." Qu Xiwo read Weibo on the sofa, seriously analyzing the arguments of the marketing account, and found some truth.
Zhang Yang had just taken a shower, and his hair was still covered with water. He wiped his hair and said, "Why don't you call it a marketing account? The way they guide public opinion is to say some truths and opinions that are not wrong, and then secretly change the concept and put them The ultimate goal to be expressed is replaced with the correct point of view, so that netizens are accidentally fooled."
"Oh, it's true when you say that." Qu Xi nodded approvingly.
Zhang Yang threw the towel aside casually, then sat next to Quxi, pulled him over and hugged him, and said, "What did you say this morning?"
"To Teacher Chen's house?" Qu Xi asked.
"Not this sentence." Zhang Yang said.
Qu Xi thought for a while: "I don't remember, give me a reminder."
There was a bit of a smile on the corner of Zhang Yang's mouth, and he stared at the young man with burning eyes, deliberately keeping silent.
Qu Xi finally couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "It's... the sentence that I want to kiss you?"
"You've learned badly." After Zhang Yang said that, he pulled the boy into his arms, and kissed him heavily.
"Wait a minute..." Qu Xi stretched out his hand and pushed Zhang Yang's chest, his breath was a little messy: "Do you...have strength?"
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Yang asked meaningfully.
Qu Xi said: "You have been more than 30 hours and haven't had a good rest. I'm afraid you... are too tired and have no strength."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang thought of what the old man said in the morning, and suddenly felt that his ability was ruthlessly questioned.
He turned over and grabbed Qu Xi's hand and pressed it on the sofa, and asked with a somewhat dangerous tone: "Whether I have strength, you will know if you try it?"
"I'm afraid you're tired..." Qu Xi said, still recklessly.
Zhang Yang really didn't have the patience to talk to the young man anymore, and immediately used his actions to prove whether he had the strength or not.
