"You mean you had someone fabricate negative rumors about Xiao He, but his studio clarified them not long after?"
Qin Mubo, who had been silently listening to Qin Lezhang's report, suddenly opened his eyes.
Where did you find all that dirt on you?
"Well......"
Qin Lezhang didn't know what his grandfather meant, but he still tried hard to remember.
"Actually, all these accusations were fabricated and imagined by a hater. We just added some evidence according to her fabricated ideas."
"Most of the videos and images were created by a hacker, and the materials were all sourced from overseas. We just didn't expect—"
At this point, Qin Lezhang still couldn't help but get angry.
"I just didn't expect that the agent would find such trash. The materials and signs of alteration were too obvious, and Xiao He easily uncovered them!"
Qin Lezhang was gritting his teeth as he said this.
"He deserved it, and he was even arrested by the police later! But don't worry, Grandpa, I handled this matter very cleanly. Even if he turns against me later, the police can only trace it back to my agent."
However, Qin Lezhang's words did not please the old man. He was already utterly disappointed in his only grandson, but after listening to Qin Lezhang's words, he fell into deep thought.
As the old man fell silent, Qin Lezhang's originally angry expression gradually turned into one of unease and guilt.
He didn't know why his grandfather had suddenly started paying attention to the guy he hated.
But for some reason, Qin Lezhang felt a deep sense of unease.
For Xiao He, for the present, and for his future life...
In the sudden silence, everyone slowed their breathing.
In the end, Qin Mubai made a judgment: "This Xiao He has a problem."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lezhang felt as if an unbelievable guess in his heart had finally been confirmed, and his heart began to race.
"What's the meaning?"
He instinctively pressed for an answer.
Qin Mubo shook his head: "You can continue kneeling here and honestly reflect on your behavior."
Finally, he looked at Qin's mother and warned her coldly, "Keep an eye on your son."
Qin's mother shrank her neck: "Okay, Dad."
Finally, Qin Mubo turned around and went upstairs to his study.
Sitting at his desk, Qin Mubo opened his computer and carefully checked the information Xiao He had publicly shared online. He squinted and pondered for a while before taking out his phone.
"Hello."
"how?"
"Help me investigate someone, a Chinese actor named Xiao He... Focus on investigating any hacking traces around him..."
...
That evening, after leaving the film set, Xiao He was picked up by Lao Qi and Xiao Chen again.
Liu Rulan was busy discussing investment matters with the platform and left midway through.
Now that Lao Qi is driving in the group, Xiao Chen has the energy to tell Xiao He about the news that broke on the internet during the day.
"Brother Xiao, you have no idea, Qin Lezhang's exes were really something else just now, they went live and talked about Qin Lezhang."
"Huh? They started a live stream?"
Xiao He was still a bit tired, but after hearing Xiao Chen's revelation, he instantly perked up: "Live stream?"
"It's already over."
Xiao Chen very helpfully handed over her phone: "This is a list of highlights from all the live streams compiled by thoughtful netizens."
"Let me see, let me see."
Xiao He didn't stand on ceremony and directly took Xiao Chen's phone to check it.
【Here's a summary of tonight's live stream: 1. Qin Lezhang doesn't wash his feet before bed and likes to make people smell his stinky shoes. 2. Qin Lezhang is mediocre in many ways; those who know, know. 3. Qin Lezhang is incredibly stingy; he even takes leftover balloons with him. 4. Qin Lezhang recently had a role stolen from him and tried to blacklist the other person in the industry, but failed, and was so angry that he cursed the other person for a whole week. 5. Qin Lezhang has privately cursed at least twenty celebrities...】
【I'm laughing so hard I can't stand it anymore. I didn't find the live stream this funny at all, but after you guys compiled it, the tone just started to go wrong, hahaha...】
【I can't believe it, I can't believe it! I never imagined Qin Lezhang was this kind of person. And seeing his girlfriends all gathered together complaining about their exes must break the hearts of all his old fans.】
【Has no one noticed? Ever since Qin Lezhang's public image collapsed, even his longtime fans have decreased? I really don't understand, do they love Qin Lezhang as a person, or his family background?】
【Hilarious! She's definitely after his money! Which of Qin Lezhang's exes didn't get together with him for his money and resources? Did they not want his money, his unwashed hands after using the toilet, his smelly shoes, or his ugly looks and womanizing ways?】
【Pfft—Okay, stop talking, I'm about to burst out laughing.】
【So, can some fans in the Chinese entertainment industry please stop idolizing celebrities like kneeling on their knees? No matter how good a celebrity's image is, it might just be an image. Only you guys are genuinely invested. It's their business if they have money; the way you're acting makes it seem like your idol deserves a share of their wealth.】
【Ahem, am I the only one curious about who Qin Lezhang wanted to blacklist before? And who were the people he privately insulted? Could you ladies please make a list? I promise I'll just be a spectator and won't stir up trouble.】
【Me too, please, sis, give us a group chat number so we can secretly play cricket games together, or could you make a PowerPoint presentation? We promise we won't share it.】
These netizens were enjoying the gossip and the drama, jumping around excitedly, but in reality, only those within the industry knew who Qin Lezhang was "blacklisting"—
"So the person they're talking about is Brother Xiao, isn't he?" Xiao Chen exclaimed in surprise. "I don't believe no one knows that Qin Lezhang has blacklisted Brother Xiao in the industry."
The news of Qin Lezhang's blacklisting of Xiao He may have been kept relatively secret at first, but Liu Rulan was not one to be trifled with. She immediately went to various production companies and investors she knew to cry and plead, ostensibly to ask for help and resources, but in reality, she was spreading rumors about Xingchen Entertainment's actions everywhere.
Although Xingchen Entertainment has been using the name of Xingchen Pictures to seize resources, engage in blacklisting, and engage in malicious competition over the years, many people in the industry know about their character and dislike their company. However, Liu Rulan's current outburst has brought this matter into the open.
Although doing so at the time didn't help them, now that Xingchen Entertainment is down on its luck, it's perfectly legitimate and natural for them to reap the benefits.
"uh-huh."
Xiao He handed the phone back to Xiao Chen, picked up his own phone, glanced at the current trending topics, and chuckled, "Look, the trending topics are already out. It seems that Sister Liu got involved when she went back."
"Let me see!"
Xiao Chen immediately took the phone.
【No need to dig further, Young Master Qin has blacklisted quite a few people in the industry over the years. I know of at least five or six, and the most recent one seems to be Xiao He.】
【?】
【???】
【No, I was happily enjoying the gossip, and then it turned into me eating my own food?】
【Huh? Who did you say? Is it Xiao He, the one I know?】
【Thanks for the invitation, but please don't drag our Xiao Ge into this. He's just about to start a new film crew, so let's not let this affect our Xiao Hezi.】
【It really is Xiao He! You fans really didn't know anything? It seems the studio kept it a secret very well, not letting you worry about it at all.】
【Didn't you know Xiao He's resources have been downgraded? He was already on his way into the film industry, but now he's back to acting in TV dramas, and you're all still happily gloating.】
【Holy crap, is this for real? Where's my knife? Where's Qin Lezhang?】
【Calm down, calm down! Didn't you see the scoop? Qin Lezhang's attempt to block him failed! It must have been Brother Xiao who withstood the pressure.】
【So I have a terrible suspicion: what ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) happened to Xiao He's parents a while ago...】
【This is terrifying to think about, family.】
