After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 80 What does it mean to apologize to each other?
Have you ever heard of how Emperor Ming'en, wielding eight haloed beams, pulled all the sages down from their pedestals?

Why did the feud between the original and Wei Zihan suddenly turn into a "map attack" as they fought?

Isn't it because those people all want to ride the wave of popularity, and they all rush to speak up for Wei Zihan?
Before, he was an unknown nobody. Now that Wei Zihan is a top-tier celebrity, anyone with common sense knows that speaking up for Wei Zihan can both gain popularity and do him a favor. They would definitely help Wei Zihan...

And this senior, "Zhou Chujian," is one of them.

Wei Zihan released albums in his early years. One of the hit singles from his first solo album was written and produced by Zhou Chujian, which is why many people in the industry call Zhou Chujian Wei Zihan's "mentor in the music scene".

In the incident between Shen Mingen and Wei Zihan, as Wei Zihan's "mentor in the music industry" who was very close to him, he took the lead in posting to support Wei Zihan, saying that he knew Wei Zihan well and that Wei Zihan was definitely not that kind of person!
then……

As expected, Emperor Ming'en's eight-point light wheel blast knocked off half of the dog's head.

The former, in a fit of madness, directly posted photos of himself having an affair with a female assistant nearly 20 years his junior. This terrified the former, who immediately deleted the post and pressured Shen Ming'en's company to remove the photos...

Although the company later deleted the photos using the account, the senior's reputation was severely damaged, which is why Shen Ming'en could be considered to have a grudge against him.

"He can still come to the announcement?!" Shen Ming'en grinned.

This guy who blindly tries to ride the wave of popularity, who clearly has a happy family but has an old man who's younger than his daughter, should be burning incense and praying to Buddha for the fact that he can still come out to participate in announcements. Why would he ask Shen Ming'en for help?

“…I know you have a grudge against him,” Ma Ling silently rubbed her forehead, then said earnestly, “But he has very strong connections behind him. There’s an international event going on, and his connections are playing a crucial role. With your current image, that event will be very beneficial to you. So listen to me, just bear with it for now, okay?”

To be honest, right now, Ma Ling's words to Shen Ming'en felt like she was doing it "for your own good," but...

Emperor Ming'en has lived this long, yet he seems like someone who bows his head and submits?
Instinctively, Shen Ming'en wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything...

"Knock knock knock..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door behind me.

Assistant Chen Jia's charming expression changed slightly. She then took the phone away from Shen Ming'en's ear and said to Ma Ling on the other end of the line, "Sister Ling, he should have arrived."

After exchanging a few words and hanging up the phone, she walked over, her high heels clicking away.

The door opened, and two men stood outside. The man in the lead was lean and wiry, wearing a suit and a jade pendant around his neck. He had a professional smile on his face, giving the impression that he was easy to get along with.

As for the man behind him...

He looked injured; his head and arms were wrapped in bandages, his face was bruised and swollen, some parts were covered with bandages, and he was even using crutches. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had just come from the battlefield of World War II.

Although Emperor Ming'en had his back to everyone, his makeup mirror was facing the door. Through the reflection in the mirror, Shen Ming'en could vaguely see the faces of two people. He didn't recognize the man in front, but the one behind...

"puff……"

When Shen Ming'en saw the miserable state of the man in the back, he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing. He thought to himself, "Isn't that Wei Zihan?"
Yes, that's right. The man who looks like he was just crippled by a missile on the battlefield of World War II is none other than Wei Zihan, the top star whom Shen Mingen met just a few days ago on "Chinese Music Center".

Although Shen Ming'en witnessed him being ganged up on that day, and later saw the trending topic about him being crippled and hospitalized, Shen Ming'en still never expected that he would actually...

This is terrible!
Compared to his pitiful appearance, his expression was the most comical. With his bruised and swollen face, he gave off a feeling of frustration, resentment, yet having no choice but to bow his head and submit...

Especially when he met Shen Ming'en's gaze through the makeup mirror, he almost turned away in shame.

"Zihan!" The man beside him called out to him, gave him a particularly fierce look, and then pulled him inside.

"Teacher Ming'en!" The man approached Shen Ming'en with a smile, laughing and extending his hand to shake hers, but his words were a bit troubling: "Just let him live like a coward!"

He probably meant to say "I've heard so much about you," but his accent made it sound awkward...

Shen Ming'en grinned and replied nonchalantly, "Ha, I can tell you've been living a life of ignominy..."

The other party seemed to notice this small detail, but didn't pay attention. After a moment of slight embarrassment, they began to introduce themselves.

He is Zhou Chujian's manager, named Liu Wei. He came here for two reasons: first, to offer his sincerest apologies to Shen Ming'en for what happened with Zhou Chujian last time; and second, to...

Help him, try to mediate with Wei Zihan.

In the middle, act as a peacemaker.

Let Shen Ming'en give Zhou Chujian some face, and out of respect for his seniority, shake hands with Wei Zihan and make peace. Let's keep things peaceful and make money together. We're all in the same circle, and we'll run into each other again eventually. The martial arts world isn't all about fighting and killing, is it?

Shen Mingen's assistant, Chen Jia, chimed in, while Shen Mingen remained silent, making it seem as if she were acting as his sole representative.

This guy talked for ages, using all those witty and manipulative tactics from the world of fame and fortune, but what he said at the end...

Shen Ming'en wasn't very willing to listen.

He said, "How about this, we both apologize to each other, and that'll be the end of it, okay?"

After saying that, he patted Wei Zihan on the shoulder: "Zihan, apologize to Ming En first."

Wei Zihan's expression was extremely unpleasant. When he saw Shen Mingen, his eyes were filled with hatred, as if he wanted to tear the guy to pieces. However, due to considerations of face, relationships, and social etiquette, he had no choice but to lower his head...

He had no choice but to grit his teeth, suppress his frustration, and apologize to Shen Ming'en.

There's no way around it. Things change every thirty years. Shen Ming'en is now a patriotic ambassador, and his popularity, fame, and public image are far superior to that of a fallen star. The entertainment industry is a dog-eat-dog world; how can you not bow your head?

But just when he had already said "I'm sorry"...

Shen Ming'en suddenly said casually:
"Ber, what does 'apologize to each other' mean?"

"..."

Inside the room, everyone was stunned.

The previously harmonious atmosphere suddenly froze.

As everyone turned to look at Shen Ming'en, Shen Ming'en glanced at Wei Zihan, who looked miserable and reluctant to speak, and couldn't help but sneer, pointing his finger at him and cursing:
"Don't even mention apologizing today. Even if you kneel down and call me 'Dad,' there's no chance we can turn the page on this."
