They surrounded me right after the breakup.

The little deer was stunned; her mouth hung open, unable to close.

He stammered for a long time, unable to utter a single complete word.

My mind went completely blank.

What the hell is Shen Qingning asking?!

Is this a technical discussion?

Could it really mean what she's thinking?

That can't be right, can it?

Even a renowned, retired celebrity like myself privately sought advice on this kind of question.

Jiang Xiaoyu noticed Xiaolu's stiffness and secretly nudged her with her elbow.

Little Deer suddenly came to her senses, her face filled with confusion about what to do.

Shen Qingning didn't urge her, and just leaned against the edge of the desk and waited.

He acted like a student humbly seeking advice.

The little deer swallowed hard.

She covered her mouth and whispered in Shen Qingning's ear, her voice barely audible.

He rattled off a whole bunch of methods he'd figured out himself last night.

I mentioned a few keywords intermittently.

Things like using a pillow, adjusting your posture, or distracting yourself.

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, drawing several circles in the air with his fingertips.

"that's all?"

"Is that all?"

The little deer nodded vigorously.

After saying that, she felt embarrassed and buried her face in Xiaoyu's shoulder, refusing to lift it up.

As Shen Qingning listened, her eyebrows relaxed from a slight frown, and the curve of her lips became more and more pronounced.

He gave a thoughtful "oh".

So that's how it is!

She looked enlightened and nodded slightly.

After listening, she reverted to her aloof and sophisticated demeanor.

"Thanks."

Jiang Xiaoyu watched the interaction between the two with a blank expression.

She didn't hear what the deer said.

Judging from Shen Qingning's change in expression, it was probably some very useful experience.

……

That afternoon, Xingyue Media officially released its statement.

The wording is concise and devoid of emotional expression.

The facts are stated point by point: illegal stalking and unauthorized filming have been documented, and evidence has been secured.

The two girls were signed, and the organizers behind the scenes will be held legally accountable.

The public relations manager finalized the wording before the release.

They asked Jiang Han whether he wanted to include his personal statement in the declaration.

Jiang Han said no, the company's position is my position.

After the statement was issued, public opinion began to shift.

Someone has dug up the complete timeline of the awards ceremony night.

The screenshots spread across various forums.

The hashtag "Scumbag men, get out of the entertainment industry" has dropped out of the top ten.

The phrase "The person who took the photos secretly is the one who should really get lost" trended on social media.

Nezha's box office continues to break records.

Mao Buyi's new song has consistently topped the charts on major platforms.

Phoenix Motors remains the undisputed king of square dancing.

Audiences will not be skeptical of a work because of the owner's private life issues.

Listen to the songs you want to listen to, and watch the movies you want to watch.

The work itself is the true value.

In the following hours, the statement was forwarded by many companies in the industry.

The first account to retweet was Warner Music's official account.

The only word accompanying it was: Support!

Following suit, Emperor Entertainment, Sony, and Taihe Rye Music followed suit.

Gold Medal Wind followed closely behind.

Several bigwigs who were drinking together last night publicly voiced their support using their company accounts.

Chen Zeshan added a blunt and undisguised harsh remark in his repost.

The bad apples must be removed!

Song Ke's response was more direct.

The large groups within the circle started to get lively.

Someone chimed in first, saying this move was incredibly dirty.

Several comments followed immediately.

Jiang Guangyao has narrowed his own path; who would dare sit at the same table with him in the future?

If the trend of secretly filming business owners continues to prevail in the industry, who will dare to go out and socialize in the future?

If you criticize your own artists, it's just that the artists themselves are unlucky.

But the boss who provides the funds usually stays behind the scenes.

He doesn't have to cultivate a "good man" image in front of the audience and fans.

What's wrong with going out for fast food and enjoying yourself?

Today you photograph the Yangtze River and Han River, tomorrow who will you photograph?

These words triggered a chain reaction in the group.

Some people chimed in, saying that celebrities who are caught cheating deserve it.

But the situation of the boss being followed and secretly photographed is completely different.

This is a breach of industry bottom line.

The girls' group chat was also discussing it.

Lin Yaoyao: "Should I reveal my relationship with Jiang Han?"

Qiu Siyao: "Sure, I've already made it public in the banking system anyway."

Liu Meng: "I suggest we don't. He's not an artist to begin with. The more we come out to explain, the more it will seem like we're trying to cover something up."

Shen Qingning: "I've spoken to Jiang Han, but he disagrees, saying he doesn't want anyone to take the fall for him."

Xiao Xiao: "President Jiang is right, when did you start cheating on me?"

Everyone: "..."

Lin Yaoyao: "Why isn't Yutong saying anything?"

Xia Yutong didn't reply for several minutes.

Xia Yutong: "I'm organizing the case files."

Xiao Xiao sent a thumbs-up emoji.

Xiao Xiao: "Sister Yutong will always be the one who fights to the very end."

Lin Yaoyao: "So what do we do now? Do nothing at all?"

Qiu Siyao: "Wait for the statement to gain traction."

Liu Meng: "Jiang Guangyao has suffered a huge loss this time; no one in the industry will help him anymore."

Xiao Xiao: "I have a question. How are those two girls doing now?"

Shen Qingning: "During the audition at the music department, Teacher Fang personally supervised the process."

Xiao Xiao: "President Jiang is really efficient, he got two new people in one night."

Lin Yaoyao: "Xiao Xiao, why does that sound so sour?"

Xiao Xiao: "I wasn't being sour at all. I was praising his good taste."

Shen Qingning: "Yutong, you've lost a lot of weight recently. Remember to come over for some soup after the court hearing."

Xia Yutong: "Qingning, when did you learn how to make soup?"

Shen Qingning: "My mother taught me that."

Xiao Xiao sent a long string of exclamation marks.

Xiao Xiao: "Can you guys please stop showing off your love in the group chat?!"

Lin Yaoyao sent a clapping emoji.

Shen Qingning: "Speaking of which, Yaoyao's mom has been stewing bird's nest for me every day lately. I'm practically a bird's nest connoisseur now."

Lin Yaoyao: "If you don't drink it, I will. My mom makes a soup with wild ginseng as the base."

Qiu Siyao: "Yaoyao is very envious."

Xiao Xiao: "Sister Yao Yao, don't be envious. I'll have my mom cook a pot for you another day."

Qiu Siyao: "Thank you, no need, I'm still on a diet."

Lin Yaoyao: "Why are you trying to lose weight? My husband says your legs are the most beautiful."

Qiu Siyao: "When did he say that? How come I didn't know?"

Lin Yaoyao: "He told me this secretly after he saw your legs in the living room last time."

Qiu Siyao: "You guys were actually discussing this behind my back?"

Xiao Xiao: "Stop talking!"

……

Meanwhile, Jiang Han sat in his office and lit a cigarette.

Start thinking about how the whole event unfolded.

The Chiang family's campaign escalated from an initial war of public opinion to a war of secret filming.

In the end, even Wang Jing took the initiative to call and express his support for him.

The commercial real estate was acquired by Xiao Yuanshan at a premium.

The residential real estate supply chain was cut off by Carrie Lam.

Zhao Xiulan's testimony from the court matched the entire timeline.

Chiang Kuang-yao has played all his cards.

Each one was pressed down and pulled back.

Competition or revenge, in the end, they all come back to their origin.

Those tricks won't work at this table.

Only the most direct method remains.

He picked up his phone and dialed Xia Yutong's number.

"Yutong, are you still working overtime?"

"Yeah, I just chatted in the group for a bit, now I'm back to organizing the files."

"Thank you for your hard work! How far has the lawsuit progressed?"

"The court has accepted the case and scheduled a hearing. The Jiang family's lawyer submitted an application for postponement the day before yesterday, which was rejected."

When is the next court hearing?

Next Wednesday.
