TRMP Chapter 83

Jiang Yifeng’s doubts were not answered.
The online environment of public opinion was already very unfavorable to him—if the person in those screenshots was not Jiang Yifeng, Jiang Yifeng himself, or Jiang Yifeng’s company could have come forward to clarify.
But within an hour, no one came forward to explain.
Ocean Media remained silent except for the initial announcement.
At first, Jiang Yifeng’s fans were still trying their best to deny it, firmly believing that those screenshots were definitely Photoshopped and WeChat screenshots could not prove anything.
However, as the voice of public opinion grew louder and louder, Jiang Yifeng’s fans were drowned out as soon as they spoke—his fans had only joined recently after all. Even if Ocean Media had cultivated two or three professional fans, they did not have the strong “abusive fan consolidation” techniques of large entertainment companies. Casual fans were the easiest to follow the crowd, and gradually, Jiang Yifeng’s fans stopped talking.
“Why aren’t the fans explaining anymore? They’re stanning an entertainment industry scammer, how impressive.”
“I’ll speak for the fans, my giegie is innocent, no one is allowed to scold my giegie!”
“Still using his own dad as a cover to swindle money, guess his dad really died.”
“He dared to cheat classmates out of money when he was in school, shouldn’t we check his taxes now?”
The words of passersby seemed particularly vicious, given that Jiang Yifeng’s father had indeed passed away.
Jiang Yifeng still looked at the comments section.
Other comments were almost irrelevant to him, only the curse involving his father aroused evil thoughts in Jiang Yifeng.
His finger rested on the person’s avatar, gnashing his teeth as he read the words cursing him. He accidentally clicked into the person’s homepage, so he casually blocked the person.
However, this small act of blocking caused a huge uproar.
The company was still preparing clarification materials, Luo Qi went out to discuss the situation with Guan Yiqiang, and Jiang Yifeng also stayed up late with them.
His account was online, and marketing accounts and some people closely watching Jiang Yifeng were observing his every move.
His online operation made many people know that he was nervous—he was also paying attention to the confrontation tonight.
Jiang Yifeng’s blocking was instantly screenshotted and posted on marketing accounts.
The celebrating crowd became even more unrestrained and excited.
“Scared, huh?!”
“xs deleting comments and blocking that old bro, he’s breaking down.”
“Why not come out and apologize and clarify instead of stalking and blocking?”
In one night, Jiang Yifeng was almost completely distorted.
The person releasing the information seemed to know the principle of gradual progress very well.
Jiang Yifeng knew what the next step was, but he didn’t know when the other party would release the information.
Before their public relations team had discussed a clarification method, Jiang Yifeng himself could not clarify.
And to tell the whole story completely, Jiang Yifeng needed at least one or two days to piece together the evidence.
Even if he had organized and classified all the hospital records, even if he had recorded all the accounts, he still needed to integrate, mask, and correspond everything before putting it online, and each task took time.
Even if he found someone else to do it, no one would be more skilled than him.
He could only wait now.
Waiting for the company’s results.
The executives and the public relations department finally discussed the results. It was more than three o’clock in the morning when they simply sorted out several pieces of evidence in Jiang Yifeng’s hands, planning to release the clarification the next day at twelve noon, when the traffic was slightly higher.
“Is nothing else needed?” Jiang Yifeng asked, clutching the thick notebook.
He didn’t show them all the records of his repayments, but only took out his father’s medical records and death certificate, and separately found the records of his repayments to his classmates.
—After all, many of his repayment records were from the previous few years, at that time… he didn’t want to just save a little money and be burdened with the company’s liquidated damages.
“No need, a few things from your student days… you just need to prove that your father was really sick at the beginning, and that you paid back the money.”
Several people said carelessly.
“Even if that person later releases information saying that after your father got sick… the money wasn’t all spent, but you have already said you paid back the money in advance, so we will have the upper hand. Luo Qi has also talked to Guan Yiqiang, and will guide public opinion in the future. After all, the money has been paid back, and we have a clear conscience.”
After speaking, the executive who had been helping Jiang Yifeng patted him on the shoulder: “Our investors are still waiting for a response.”
After all, no one wants their spokesperson or guest to be involved in heinous social cases.
Ocean Media also has to think about its own sponsors.
A relaxed expression appeared on Jiang Yifeng’s face.
His eyelashes trembled, and the fatigue made his eyelashes curl with tears, looking somewhat weary.
For a moment, the executive just wanted to sigh, Jiang Yifeng is so beautiful.
Such a good cash cow, finally popular, naturally needs to be squeezed well in the remaining four years of the contract to be worthy of Jiang Yifeng’s value.
The executive silently glanced at Jiang Yifeng, and then withdrew his gaze.
After everyone left, Jiang Yifeng did not go home.
He knew that the next morning, everyone would have to come back to standby. Whether it was the public relations department or the executives, they could only sleep for a few hours at most before getting up to help check public opinion and determine whether subsequent preparations were adequate.
And Jiang Yifeng’s residence was far from the company, so he planned to sleep in the company’s office for a while, and the next morning, he would start monitoring public opinion trends with the staff, so as to make changes in time.
But before that…
Jiang Yifeng’s eyelashes trembled, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, and subconsciously called out to the system.
“I’m not crying, am I?” he asked first.
The system glanced at Jiang Yifeng from a third-person perspective.
“Your eyes are red.”
Jiang Yifeng quickly aimed the rear-view mirror of his mobile phone at his face, carefully tidied his hair with his fingers, and rubbed his face before asking the system to help him find Xie Jingshen.
When Xie Jingshen appeared in the white frame, he was half-lying on the bed reading a book, his lowered eyes hiding fatigue, but it was not obvious.
And the moment Jiang Yifeng appeared, he didn’t seem to have reacted yet, until Jiang Yifeng called his name, Xie Jingshen looked up in a daze.
“Why haven’t you slept so late?” Xie Jingshen leaned forward: “There’s blood in your eyes.”
“Filming a variety show.” Jiang Yifeng lay on the table and smiled: “Filming is like this, it always takes so late.”
He tilted his head, watching Xie Jingshen intently, his eyes revealing a smile, and his eyes also curved into crescents: “But I want to say good night to you no matter how late… and you haven’t slept either.”
After Jiang Yifeng got busy, he suddenly had no time.
If it were an ordinary actor, after two or three variety shows, as long as they didn’t join a crew, they would have plenty of free time.
But Jiang Yifeng promised the company, and he was almost squeezed everywhere, his schedule was upside down, and his sleep was short. If his body’s hard conditions were not too good, he would have become ugly.
Jiang Yifeng quickly rubbed his face, and then aimed at Xie Jingshen: “You go to sleep quickly, I’ll say good night to you.”
“What’s wrong with your arm?” Xie Jingshen pointed to a red mark on Jiang Yifeng’s arm and asked.
The weather is gradually getting hotter, and in May, you can already wear short sleeves.
Jiang Yifeng was indoors. After experiencing a night of annoying things, he became more and more bored, so he took off his coat, leaving only a short-sleeved shirt.
And there was a scratch mark on the arm under the shirt.
Jiang Yifeng was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and looked for a long time before finding it on his arm. After thinking about it, Jiang Yifeng actually lowered his head and laughed.
“This scratch mark is from one of our company’s executives… named Jin Xin.” Jiang Yifeng looked at the mark on his arm and couldn’t help raising his eyebrows and smiling: “I haven’t seen such a stupid person in a long time.”
“What’s wrong?” Xie Jingshen frowned.
Hearing the words “executive,” Xie Jingshen felt uncomfortable.
They are in two worlds, and Jiang Yifeng is bullied, and he can only pin his hopes on a system that he doesn’t know if it will react.
That kind of unwilling anxiety made Xie Jingshen even more disgusted.
“He scolded me.” Jiang Yifeng snorted.
He lowered his eyes, looking unhappy.
“Hmm?” Xie Jingshen put down the book, his expression became serious, and a bit of coldness appeared in his eyes. “He scolded you?”
“Yes, and then I just did this—” Jiang Yifeng made a gesture of strangling someone with his elbow, “I must have accidentally bit his arm.”
Jiang Yifeng looked at the marks on his arm, and smiled even happier.
Just now he thought he used too much force, thinking that because he was relatively tall, he pressed against half of his face when strangling his neck. His arm touched his teeth, leaving a tooth mark.
Jiang Yifeng shook his head, wiped his arm with a tissue, and complained disgustedly: “So dirty.”
When he said this, there was an uncontrollable smile in his eyes, his small face was still flushed, and his eyes were shining.
Xie Jingshen’s expression also softened.
At least Jiang Yifeng was not bullied.
“He scolded you, he deserved it.” Xie Jingshen would not talk about any great principles of forbearance.
He unconditionally stands by Jiang Yifeng’s side.
“Yes, he deserved it.” Jiang Yifeng also smiled: “He stumbled out tonight, but he must want to intercept my resources again.”
Speaking of intercepting resources, Xie Jingshen helplessly rubbed his eyebrows, and said a little pitifully: “I would… rather he intercept some of your resources. Baby, I haven’t had a good chat with you for a long time.”
Xie Jingshen can see what Jiang Yifeng looks like when he is working through the system. Although the Jiang Yifeng in the picture at this time is always a cute Q version of a small person, it does not prevent Xie Jingshen from liking it.
But he also likes Jiang Yifeng’s excitement when he tells him about his work.
When he just started filming the variety show, he told him every day what happened, which greatly satisfied Xie Jingshen’s secret possessiveness and desire for control.
But as time went on, Xie Jingshen found that those garbage jobs took up too much of Jiang Yifeng’s time.
Jiang Yifeng hadn’t completely told him what he had done and said for a long time.
“Me too… but Zhu Kuoyang’s new drama has already been established, and the investment has almost been raised. After July, it will probably be better.” Jiang Yifeng pointed to himself proudly and smiled: “I’m the main character.”
“Okay.” Xie Jingshen smiled with his eyes bent. “I’m waiting to see your first starring TV series.”
Jiang Yifeng also relaxed a lot.
Tomorrow he can clarify the black material, and soon he will be able to participate in TV series. With the identity of the male lead in a martial arts film as a springboard, Jiang Yifeng can also take on other male lead roles.
His future is bright, and his future is infinitely beautiful.
Jiang Yifeng relaxed completely.
He chatted with Xie Jingshen in a sentence or two, and soon fell asleep.
And in his dream, all are his beautiful life in the future.

President Xie: My wife hasn’t talked to me for a long time, angry.
