They surrounded me right after the breakup.

Jiang Han leaned against the headboard, watching Song Wanning bend down to put on her shoes.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead: "Wait!"

Song Wanning moved stiffly, then straightened up by holding onto the shoe cabinet.

The zipper on the sundress was only half-zipped up.

"The conditions I proposed are compensation for the harm you caused to Yao Yao."

"Last night, it was consensual, so consider this a small interest payment."

"But your speaking up for Zhou Haidong just now reminded me of something."

Jiang Han's explanation, shaking his head.

"I not only left you a way out, but I also gave my approval for Chenxing to continue operating."

"If you calculate it that way, the interest collected is too low."

Song Wanning took a half step back and bumped her lower back against the shoe cabinet.

"What...what are you going to do?"

"Of course we have to make up for what's missing; I'm an honest man!"

As they were talking, Jiang Han had already walked up to Song Wanning.

"Oh no! I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Snapped--

"What's wrong with it?"

Jiang Han uttered the classic, illogical lines.

No wonder the female leads in TV dramas used to say things like that.

One sentence directly occupies the moral high ground.

Song Wanning was lifted up around the waist and suspended in mid-air.

Her high heels fell to the ground with a thud.

The zipper on the slip dress wasn't zipped all the way up to begin with.

Now it's all good, I don't need to pull anymore.

"Jianghan!"

"I was just thinking how devoted you are to your girlfriend, and now this..."

The second half of the sentence was cut off, leaving only sobs.

……

Three hours later.

Jiang Han came out of the bathroom and changed into the black shirt delivered by the boutique.

Putting aside everything else, Song Wanning is quite skilled at scratching people.

They tore his original clothes to shreds.

A quilt was piled up on the bed, and Song Wanning was curled up inside it.

His breathing was heavy, and the rise and fall of the blanket was barely visible.

Jiang Han fastened his belt, picked up the watch from the bedside table, and put it on.

Looking back, the rosy glow on Song Wanning's face slowly faded.

That evening.

The Weibo trending topics list has a new face.

The hashtag #SongWanningApologizes# is at the top of the list.

Following closely behind is...

#Apology Statement from Chenxing Entertainment#

#Latest Announcement from Xingyue Media#

Song Wanning's apology video was recorded in the evening.

She sat in front of a completely black background, without any beauty filters.

Her hair was tied in a low ponytail, her makeup was very light, and her lips were dry and chapped.

"I am Song Wanning."

"Regarding the incident where my entourage pushed Ms. Qiu Siyao down in the mall."

"My team and I handled this situation extremely poorly!"

"I hereby formally apologize to Ms. Qiu Siyao."

In the video, Song Wanning stands up and bows 90 degrees to the camera.

Hold the bent-over position for more than ten seconds.

"I will cover all medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for emotional distress."

"I have entrusted my lawyer to preserve evidence regarding the accounts that previously made personal attacks against Ms. Qiu Siyao online."

"Finally, thank you Mr. Jiang Han from Xingyue Media for pointing out my problem."

Before the video ended, she stood up and bowed a second time.

As the camera panned down, the collar slid half an inch to the side.

A small red mark was visible above the collarbone, its shape barely discernible.

It's the outline of a hand.

The comments section exploded.

"Holy crap, what's that red mark?"

"Pause successful. It's a fingerprint, four fingers plus the thumb."

"The clothes look a bit wrinkled, as if they've been pulled or tugged."

"Was that intentional? Why didn't you change into new clothes for your apology video?"

"I don't need to tell you whose handprint it is, do I?"

"Look at her expression, she doesn't seem forced at all, she looks smug."

This was immediately followed by an official apology statement from Chenxing Entertainment.

Zhou Haidong appeared in the video himself, dressed in a suit and tie, looking even more formal than when he went on stage to accept an award.

He stood in front of the company's logo wall, bowing very low.

"To Ms. Qiu Siyao, Star Moon Media, and all sectors of society."

"After the incident, our company's public relations team handled it seriously, issuing a statement to shift blame and failing to stop the online violence against the victim by fans in a timely manner."

"As the person in charge of the company, I bear full management responsibility."

"Effective immediately, our company will comprehensively overhaul the management system for artist teams."

"If any of our artists are involved in a similar incident in the future, the company will terminate the contract with that artist immediately."

"I would like to express my sincerest apologies once again to Ms. Qiu Siyao."

The opinions in the front row of the comments section are starting to diverge.

"Chen Xing's attitude was indeed sincere, and there was nothing to criticize."

"Nonsense, don't you even look at who's sitting across from you? What kind of influence does Xingyue have in the industry? Would they dare to be dishonest?"

"When President Jiang is so angry that he's risking everything for a woman, the entire entertainment industry will tremble."

"Did you guys notice a detail? When Song Wanning said thank you, President Jiang, her voice was trembling!"

"I don't think it's fear, it's more like they've been seduced."

"The lady in front of me can just spout off."

"Otherwise, why would she deliberately show that handprint? Female celebrities know best how to hide hickeys in front of the camera."

"Am I the only one who thinks President Jiang is too domineering?"

Two apology videos topped the charts for half an hour.

Xingyue Media's official Weibo account followed up with only a few lines of text.

"To our industry colleagues, Xingyue takes this opportunity to issue a proposal to the entire industry."

"Strengthen positive guidance for fan culture and establish a healthy view of idols."

"At the same time, we call on all practitioners to jointly uphold the industry's bottom line of rational idol worship."

"Uphold the principle that the work itself is king, and character is the foundation."

The number of reposts exceeded 200,000 within ten minutes.

Several well-known media and entertainment companies in the industry, such as Enlight Media and Jaywalk Studio, quickly followed suit.

The forwarding queue grew longer and longer, and you could feel Xingyue's influence in the industry even through the screen.

The hashtag #StarryMoonIndustryInitiative# trended at number one on social media.

Push #SongWanningApologizes# to second place.

……

Bicui Manor.

Qiu Siyao nestled on the sofa, a blanket covering her legs.

The phone screen showed a video of Song Wanning apologizing.

This is the scene that Jiang Han saw when he pushed open the door.

He changed into slippers and went over, squatting down next to the sofa.

"What's wrong?"

Qiu Siyao raised her head, her eyes were red and swirling with tears.

"husband!"

Qiu Siyao, with tears welling up in her eyes, threw herself into his arms and rubbed her face against his chest.

"Why did it take you so long to get back?"

Jiang Han patted the back of her head: "You saw it all."

"Yes, I've watched Song Wanning's apology video and Chenxing's statement."

"Honey, you've done so much for me!"

Qiu Siyao lifted her face from Jiang Han's arms and rubbed the corner of her eye with the back of her hand.

"I used to think that I was lucky to have gotten together with you."

"I'm content with how good you are to me; I don't dare to ask for more."

"I haven't thought about any title or promises."

"Just give me a little bit of your time."

Qiu Siyao sniffed.

"And then I tripped and fell, and you almost ruined the entire industry!"

Jiang Han gently wiped away the little girl's tears with his thumb.

"Isn't that stupid?"

"I'm so stupid!"

"I used to think that I was dispensable to you."

"Now I know that my husband really cares about me."

Qiu Siyao whimpered for a while, then suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, honey, what method did you use to make them admit their mistakes so quickly?"

Jiang Han felt a little guilty under her gaze, so he turned his head and pretended to look at the water glass on the coffee table.

"The request was made in consultation with Zhou Haidong, and you've seen the statement."

"this one?"

"Otherwise what?"

It can't be said that he personally took up arms and emptied the magazine to achieve victory, can it?

Qiu Siyao wanted to ask more questions, but Jiang Han pulled her into his arms.

"Alright, that's all over."

"No one will dare to bully you anymore."
