They want you to participate in a TV show, and you'll be doing a live stream as a security guar

In fact, the Chinese people in this world have a relatively relaxed approach to managing their citizens.

Unless you make any major mistakes, you generally won't be notified.

Otherwise, the police wouldn't have chosen to blur out the faces in the video.

Therefore, even if someone is a public figure, as long as they deny it to the death, the matter will eventually pass.

The problem was that Ye Zhou was recognized.

Even if he doesn't admit it, everyone knows he was arrested for soliciting prostitutes.

Most self-media bloggers with a certain number of followers are relatively restrained and dare not draw conclusions without solid evidence.

But marketing accounts don't care about any of that; this is such a great topic, such a hot topic!

It would be an absolute injustice to miss out on this opportunity.

Immediately, marketing accounts began frantically reposting the Beijing police's video, while making various insinuations that one of the people involved was Ye Zhou, who had recently become very popular.

This caused Ye Zhou's already declining popularity to rise even higher.

Aside from Ye Zhou and the photographer, the most panicked were the production team of "Life in All Its Forms," ​​especially the director, Xu Xiao.

He felt like the sky had fallen.

Xu Xiao was sitting at home with her legs crossed, half a cigar between her fingers, dreaming of a bright future.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly received a phone call from the assistant director.

"Director Xu...Director Xu! Something terrible has happened!"

Xu Xiao remained calm, even scolding him with dissatisfaction, "What's the panic? Is the sky falling? I've told you so many times, no matter what happens, you must stay calm!"

"Ye... Ye Zhou, he..."

The assistant director could barely speak, his voice trembling with tears: "The Beijing police released a video of a raid on prostitution, and now the whole internet is saying Ye Zhou was arrested for soliciting prostitution!"

"Clatter—"

Xu Xiao's cigar fell directly onto the carpet, burning a small black spot, but he didn't even notice.

His face, which had been calm and composed just moments before, turned deathly pale in an instant.

"What...what did you say?!"

He jumped up from the sofa, his voice trembling: "Arrested? Or in a prostitution raid?!"

"It really is Director Xu! The Beijing police just released a video, and all the fans in the group recognized him. His figure, tone of voice, even the cameraman next to him matched!"

"It's trending on social media, all the marketing accounts are posting about it, and the show's official backend is practically flooded with comments from netizens!"

Xu Xiao frantically opened Weibo, her fingers trembling so much she could barely tap the screen.

Upon refreshing the page, the hashtags #YeZhouFootBathShopArrested# and #XiaoQiaoWaterBathCrackdownOnProstitution# have already dominated the top ten trending topics.

The more Xu Xiao looked, the colder her heart became.

Ye Zhou was the main source of viewership for the second season of "Life in All Its Forms".

Now, the person has been exposed for soliciting prostitutes and has been arrested by the police.

This is far more than just an accident.

Instead, they wanted to bury the entire production team to death.

It's worth noting that he has mobilized all his resources for this program, even taking a large portion of the money from GG Entertainment, and has made a solemn pledge to the investors behind it.

Now tell others that someone was arrested for soliciting prostitution.

This is going to kill him!

"It's over...it's all over..."

Xu Xiao's legs went weak, and she collapsed heavily onto the sofa, her eyes vacant: "Now, forget about a second season, even the first season has to be taken down... I might as well quit being a director... I'll lose everything!"

"Director Xu! What do we do now? The investors have already contacted us to inquire about the situation, and GG Entertainment is also making calls!"

The assistant director was still shouting urgently on the other end of the phone.

"Did you call Ye Zhou and that photographer?"

Xu Xiao opened her mouth, asking with a last glimmer of hope.

"I've tried calling! But I can't get through! Ye Zhou isn't answering, and the photographer's phone is switched off!"

The assistant director replied, his voice trembling with tears, "Those two...those two weren't really taken away and detained by the police, were they?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiao's vision went black, and she almost fainted.

Shut down.

Lost contact.

The video released by the Beijing police and the online public opinion.

All of this felt like heavy hammer blows, pounding into his heart.

It’s over.

It's completely over.

All the roads he paved, all the investments he secured, all the deals he made—overnight, they all turned into debt collection orders that would crush him.

Xu Xiao slumped on the sofa, feeling ice-cold all over.

"Director Xu, what do we do now?"

The assistant director's panicked voice came from the other end of the phone.

Xu Xiao opened her mouth, but her throat was so dry and painful that she couldn't utter a single word.

What should I do?

If he knew what to do, he wouldn't be so helpless and at a loss now.

Xu Xiao suddenly grabbed the cigar on the table, his hands shaking so badly he couldn't even light it. The flame flickered several times before he finally managed to light it.

"What's the panic? You'll just lose your job at worst, but I'm going bankrupt."

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "Contact...contact the public relations department and issue a statement immediately, saying...saying that this matter is being verified, and everything should be based on official announcements, and that we must not spread rumors..."

"But Director Xu... the police have already arrested the whole group, how can we issue a report?" the assistant director said with a wry smile.

"Director Xu, did Wang Li call back?"

Just then, the assistant director suddenly exclaimed.

"Wang Li?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao was slightly taken aback.

"He's the photographer in charge of Ye Zhou's live stream!"

Xu Xiao gripped her phone tightly, her voice rising several decibels: "Quick! Answer it! Ask him what's going on!"

The call was abruptly ended a second later.

Xu Xiao sat on the sofa, staring intently at her phone.

A minute later, the assistant director called again.

"What did he say?"

The moment the call connected, Xu Xiao immediately asked.

"It's all a misunderstanding."

The assistant director's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "Those two weren't arrested at all; they just went to the police station to cooperate with an investigation."

Xu Xiao stood there stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a long breath.

"Director Xu?"

Seeing that there was no response from the other end of the phone for a long time, the assistant director asked tentatively.

"Those who survive a great calamity are sure to have good fortune in the future; the ancients were right."

"In a sense, this is an opportunity for us."

This time, Xu Xiao was no longer flustered, and her voice regained its usual composure: "An opportunity to take our show's popularity to the next level."

"Director Xu, what should we do next?"

The assistant director hesitated for a moment before asking.

"You don't need to do anything."

Xu Xiao stubbed out the cigar in his hand, a cold smile slowly curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Director Xu, what's going on... This matter is causing a huge uproar online."

Upon hearing this, the assistant director was instantly stunned: "Wouldn't it be inappropriate if we didn't clarify or handle the public relations?"

"Clarify? Don't you know what kind of people are online?"

Xu Xiao scoffed: "If we believe everything we hear, the more we try to clarify things now, the more those marketing accounts will stir up trouble, which might backfire."

"We just need to wait. Once the live broadcast resumes tomorrow, everything will become clear."

At this point, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Find another reliable law firm, and don't let any of those rumor-mongering marketing accounts get away with it."
