If you cut in, you will get hit. Do you call this a driving school instructor?

"How could that person not sleep?"

As Gu Yin opened the sliding door and stepped onto the balcony, the damp air rushed towards her. To be honest, Gu Yin really liked the rainy weather; it allowed her to relax for a short while.

"rumble……"

There was occasional thunder in the sky, and the sky was overcast. To be honest, it felt much safer to stay indoors than on the balcony on a day like this.

But how should I put it...

Gu Yin just wanted some fresh air.

The hotel was nice, but it was too stuffy. It rained a bit last night, so Gu Yin didn't open the door much.

Breathing in fresh air is great; it can help you relax for a short time.

It's worth mentioning that today, which is quite a long time ago, Gu Yin wasn't wearing that familiar "Reconciling with Life" program's camera lens on his chest.

Although the production team hadn't contacted him or asked him to react to the public opinion surrounding the incident, Gu Yin had seen the trending topics last night and knew that the matter had become quite serious. His haters were now looking for trouble with him everywhere. If the show started airing now, people would inevitably say that he was clueless and didn't take the incident seriously. If they used this as an excuse to make a fuss, Gu Yin would have nowhere to turn.

At this point, let's not cause any more trouble. Let's just forget about the perfect attendance bonus for those who missed work.

"...You really have no heart, brother!"

The female celebrity on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say to Gu Yin at this moment. It seemed that he really didn't take this matter to heart. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have been eating and drinking as usual since yesterday. He should have kept everything in mind.
"What good is it for me to be anxious?" Gu Yin scratched his head and said helplessly, "If you're anxious, your wife won't survive either."

"...At a time like this, please stop cursing her, okay?" Xia Qianyi asked, "Have you gone to the hospital to check on her?"

"It's alright... I'm fine."

Gu Yin waved his hand casually and said:
"I reckon at most it's a fracture, a broken leg or foot, or something like that. She was still able to move after the injury."

In fact, Gu Yin was not in a hurry for two reasons. One reason was that he was easygoing and reasonable. The other reason was that he had seen his wife move.

After being thrown into the air by the truck, the frightened woman actually struggled on the ground for a while. When she was being lifted into the ambulance, Gu Yin vaguely heard the nurse mention something about fractures...

Although the truck ultimately failed to stop, it had actually started braking quite early on. With its tires locked and rubbing against the ground for so long, the impact force had already diminished by the time it reached the other side.

"……That's good."

Hearing this, Xia Qianyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. From the beginning, she had given Gu Yin the feeling that she was even more worried than Gu Yin herself, which actually touched Gu Yin a little. She couldn't help but say:

“You see, I don’t know how to handle things properly when you’re not around. If you were here, things might not have gotten this far.”

"...Stop being so sarcastic!" Although Xia Qianyi liked hearing these kinds of words, saying them now would only be hindsight, okay?
"It's definitely a good thing that the woman is dead, but if she's conscious, you probably won't get away with it either..." Xia Qianyi said helplessly.

If something happens to her, even if she can't speak up, her family, who know what happened, will definitely cause trouble for Gu Yin and make a scene. If nothing happens to her, then there's no need for her family; she might even bring them along to make a scene...

That's going to be quite a show.

In any case, given the state of that frightened woman at the time, it would be difficult for her not to cause trouble for Gu Yin.

"What can I do?"

Gu Yin said helplessly:
"How was I not arguing my case rationally back then?"

"you……"

Xia Qianyi opened her mouth, but the words she was about to say didn't come out. To be honest, she felt a little sorry for Gu Yin, just like the people on the internet who supported him.

Sympathy is one thing, but trouble is trouble. The impact of this incident is quite significant, with many people criticizing Gu Yin's previous behavior. Although she hired a PR team to speak on Gu Yin's behalf online, it couldn't withstand the pressure...

Gu Yin has quite a few haters.

As the saying goes, "the more famous you are, the more trouble you attract." Gu Yin's popularity has remained quite high. The show "Reconciling with Life" was originally intended for celebrities and stars, but at this stage of its run, most of the viewership has been taken over by Gu Yin, who started as an ordinary person. Many celebrities have been overshadowed. How can those people not be envious?
When Gu Yin got into trouble, they didn't need to get involved themselves or say anything fair. They only needed to secretly "push the waves" a little, which was enough to push Gu Yin step by step into the abyss.

When a tree falls, everyone pushes it down...

So many people have watched him build a tall building, so naturally, many more are hoping for his building to collapse.

"Let's think about what to do first..." Xia Qianyi stopped blaming Gu Yin, because to be honest, she didn't think Gu Yin had done anything wrong at all.

"What can I do? Let them say whatever they want, I won't take any responsibility anyway," Gu Yin replied calmly.

In fact, Gu Yin had already thought it through. The frightened woman did that simply to blackmail them. After the accident, she was hospitalized and the incident became a hot topic, giving her even more reason to use it as an excuse to retaliate against Gu Yin.

But the question is, why would Gu Yin be targeted by her revenge?
Yes, many people are indeed making a big deal out of this, but when you get to the bottom of this, Gu Yin is completely a "victim"!
Just like those netizens said, if someone commits an unforgivable crime and can escape punishment simply by committing suicide, and even use it to blackmail others, then does the concept of "justice" and "fairness" truly cease to exist in this world?

What's the point of having laws then?
Yes, there's a lot of public opinion online, but for him, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Most people are still on the side of "justice." No matter what, even if this matter blows up, it's only because of this accident, and if we're just talking about the facts, it's definitely not Gu Yin's problem.

Besides, even if they escalate the situation, Gu Yin isn't afraid...

A person with an upright character has nothing to fear. He has never actively provoked anyone; he simply neither seeks trouble nor fears it. And it is precisely this kind of person who is expected to neither seek trouble nor fear it...

So who ultimately benefits?
It just benefits those who cut in line, ditch, and have no manners!

Anyway!

In terms of attitude, Gu Yin is quite upright.

But the problem is...

Sometimes, things don't go the way you want them to...

“…That woman was injured and hospitalized after all…” Xia Qianyi said helplessly, “Even if the police don’t hold you responsible, the production team will probably…”

Xia Qianyi stopped mid-sentence, mainly because she didn't know how to begin...

Gu Yin, as if he had guessed something, calmly said:

"Alright, stop worrying me. Even if the sky falls, it won't hit you. If the Emperor isn't worried, you, little eunuch, shouldn't worry too."

"...I was just worried about you!" Xia Qianyi couldn't help but complain, "Do you know how worried I was last night after hearing about this? I..."

"Oh?"

Gu Yin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he asked with amusement:

"Are you so worried about me?"

"Who...who's worried about you!" Xia Qianyi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said, "You haven't taught me how to drive yet! We agreed that you would teach me to get my driver's license as soon as the driving school opens."

"What you're saying..." Gu Yin rolled his eyes. "Even if that woman clings to me, at most I'll have to pay some money. It's not like I'm going to end up working on a sewing machine or dying. Does that mean I can't teach you how to drive?"

"Who knows..." Xia Qianyi retorted stubbornly.

"...You're cursing me, aren't you?!" Gu Yin gritted her teeth.

“I curse you! You deserve it!” Xia Qianyi said.

"Hey Xia Qianyi, I've noticed that your mouth has become more and more eloquent these past few days! *&%￥#@..." The two chatted like this for a while.

It's worth mentioning that halfway through the conversation, the rain outside the window stopped, and from Gu Yin's balcony, you could actually see that a patch of dark clouds had dispersed in the Cangshan area, revealing a clear blue sky.

If she weren't on the phone, Gu Yinzhen would have liked to take a picture and send it to Xia Qianyi.

And it was at this moment...

“My flight to your place is this afternoon,” Xia Qianyi said. “Come pick me up at the airport.”

“You don’t need to make a special trip, it’s nothing serious…” Gu Yin felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this and said, “Don’t let this interfere with your work…”

"Is work more important than you, my ancestor..." Xia Qianyi said helplessly.

"Haha, I love to hear that." Gu Yin nodded.

"Don't get too excited..." Xia Qianyi said, "The team behind 'Reconciling with Life' will probably contact you today and ask you to back down to those people online. Do you believe that?"

This kind of thing is actually quite normal...

Regardless, Gu Yin is already a "public figure," enjoying the benefits of public attention, and naturally should also bear some of the negative responsibilities.

Aren't many haters making a big deal out of Gu Yin's matter online?
Various people criticized Gu Yin's past behavior, and attacked him in various ways...

As they continued their attacks, they started criticizing the "Reconciliation with Life" program as well, saying things like... that the fact that their program could continue airing for Gu Yin meant that the program itself had problems.

This led to a lot of people flooding the official Weibo accounts of the "Reconciling with Life" program with comments and insults...

It also caused quite a bit of trouble for the production team.

that……

When facing a public opinion storm, what is the best way for a variety show production team to handle it?
There are really only two options: either give it the cold shoulder, or apologize...

The show needs to continue airing, and the production team also wants Gu Yin to continue appearing on screen. In this situation, a cold shoulder would inevitably provoke angry haters; an apology would be better…

If an apology is effective, and the matter cools down over time, it will be forgotten.

As long as you don't apologize with your head held high and exhaling like you're blowing a feather duster, there's probably not a big problem.

But that's where the problem lies...

The program "Reconciling with Life" requires Gu Yin to issue an apology statement or video, or even apologize live. This might temporarily quell the resentment of his haters, but at the same time...

Those who supported Gu Yin were betrayed!
Everyone says you did nothing wrong, but you end up posting a video saying you were wrong?
Wouldn't that discourage your supporters?

These are mostly things Gu Yin considers; the production team can only consider how to quell public opinion, nothing more.

"..."

Gu Yin on the other end of the phone didn't speak, turning her head to look at the beautiful scenery outside, her thoughts drifting.

In fact, he had thought about what Xia Qianyi said, and even after hearing it from Xia Qianyi's mouth, Gu Yin had a vague idea of ​​what was going on...

As an industry insider, Xia Qianyi certainly has more information than him. Since she said that, and since she has shown a very anxious look from beginning to end, then this matter is probably as she said.

But if I make him apologize...

Sorry, it's still not possible.

Gu Yin had a favorite saying in his life motto: "A stubborn person can't learn to bend over!"

The term "sparrow food" might be considered unconventional, but it's quite fitting to describe Gu Yin. For him, even if he had to give up the right to continue broadcasting on the "Reconciling with Life" program, and give up the countless views, popularity, and profits that were within his grasp, he would not bow down to Sister Inner Fright.

That's just how he is. If it weren't for his "personal charm," he wouldn't have made it this far on the show "Reconciling with Life."

If he were afraid of trouble, he wouldn't have been so arrogant on the street.

He didn't speak, but the female celebrity on the other end of the phone seemed to understand something. In the end, she didn't continue the topic, but just sighed helplessly and said:

"Let's talk about it when we meet this afternoon. Don't be too anxious. No matter what happens, I'm here for you."

Her words were meant to comfort him, but Gu Yin couldn't help but find them amusing. He asked, "No, why are you being so nice to me?"

As a female celebrity, she shouldn't have gotten involved in such a huge public opinion storm surrounding Gu Yin.

Her team members, including Mengmeng, will probably all have to try to dissuade her.

But not only did she want to get involved in this matter, she also wanted to find Gu Yin...

If they meet in person and someone takes a picture, it will not have a good impact on her, right?

"..."

Xia Qianyi on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment...

A few moments.

"To repay you," she said to Gu Yin in a serious tone, "you've helped me before, so there's no reason why I won't help you when you're in trouble."

This left Gu Yin completely confused...

"When did I ever help you? How come I don't know?" Gu Yin asked.

Is that true?!

The female celebrity didn't say much, just gave a few casual instructions, and then hung up the phone.

Gu Yin made things completely absurd...

After finishing the phone call, Gu Yin originally intended to go back to her room to wash up and then visit her mother and Gu Yue, but as soon as she stood up...

"Jingle Bell……"

The phone rang again.

I picked it up and took a look...

Unknown number.

Gu Yin answered the phone with a calm mind. As soon as the person on the other end spoke, Gu Yin knew why he had come...

The people on the show "Reconciling with Life"!

So, does he really have to apologize this time?
