Chapter 44: Chapter 43 My Mom Too Chapter 44: Chapter 43 My Mom Too Wenyan flipped through the comments, and my, tens of thousands of them were essentially all cursing her.
This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had ever been this famous.
She thought it over and decided to contact Shen Jinghe to discuss what to do, after all, he was the other main character in the trending search.
But just at this moment, the director’s call suddenly came in.
“Wenyan, come to my room quickly, I saw the trending topic!!”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
The director spoke in a tone of seriousness Wenyan had never encountered before, which made her feel something was off.
Sure enough, after refreshing her social media, she saw two other topics surge onto the trending list.
One was boycotting the movie “Lost Voice,” demanding Wenyan be replaced, and the other was an exposé of Director Zhou Junye’s scandals.
In just a few hours, the names Wenyan and Zhou Junye were tagged with the label “scumbag man, scumbag woman.”
Wenyan didn’t know what kind of person Zhou Junye was before, but she was very clear that she was definitely not what the internet was portraying her to be.
Online violence is truly terrifying; it can make white look black.
But even more frightening is the instigator behind the scenes.
Wenyan wasn’t entirely sure who had leaked the information, but seeing Zhou Junye also targeted, she was pretty much certain now.
This person clearly knew the ways of gaining traffic within the entertainment industry, deliberately choosing the prime time on Friday night to drop the news.
Their motive was clear, which was to use Shen Jinghe’s powerful fan base to besiege her and Zhou Junye.
And the only person who had offended both her and Zhou Junye recently was Zhang Cheng, who was fired not long ago for assaulting an elderly extra.
The timing was just right; he should have been released from detention by now and regained his personal freedom.
With this judgment, Wenyan quickly went to Zhou Junye’s room.
When she arrived, Shen Jinghe and his assistant were already there, along with several other key crew members.
“Wenyan is here, have a seat,” Zhou Junye got to the point without beating around the bush, “This matter is spreading too fast, we must clarify immediately, or the impact will only grow.
Although I don’t currently have evidence, I believe that this matter is related to Zhang Cheng, who I dismissed a while ago. He must be harboring resentment towards Wenyan for calling the police and towards me for firing him, that’s why he has taken such vengeful measures.
Once I get solid evidence, I will sue him immediately, but now the priority is to handle the PR for this incident. Everyone can share their thoughts.”
The room was quiet while Zhou Junye spoke, but just as he finished, a ringtone sounded.
It was Shen Jinghe’s phone.
However, he only glanced at it before hanging up.
Zhou Junye was about to speak again when Wenyan’s phone started ringing as well.
Wenyan took out her phone and saw it was Su Yang calling.
But clearly, this was not the time to take the call, so she also quietly ended it.
However, after hanging up, she prepared to send a message to explain.
She now suspected that Shen Jinghe’s earlier call had also been from Su Yang.
Su Yang must have seen the trending search and called specifically to ask about the situation. Wenyan needed to explain things to Su Yang to avoid her believing what she saw online.
While editing her text message, both her and Shen Jinghe’s phones vibrated simultaneously.
It turned out Su Yang had added Shen Jinghe to the ‘Our Family’ group.
And immediately @mentioned Wenyan and Shen Jinghe.
‘Jinghe, Yanyan, I saw the trending topics online. Why aren’t you answering your phones?’
‘Are you together right now?’
‘Reply to me with a message or a call when you see this, mom is really anxious now’
When their phones rang simultaneously the first time, it didn’t cause much of a stir, but when they kept ringing one after another, everyone couldn’t help but cast surprised looks their way.
Wenyan hurriedly put her phone on silent and explained, “It’s my mom, she also saw the trending search and is asking about my situation.”
Shen Jinghe: “Same for my mom.”
No one present had expected that these two people, who were seemingly unrelated, would have the same mother.
The director also interjected, “Then explain it a bit to them, so they don’t worry too much.”
