Everyone thought the farce was over for tonight.
The rumors about Zhao Qinyuan promoting a romantic relationship are based on only one side of the story and chat screenshots, which cannot be considered complete evidence of a breakdown in their relationship. Therefore, the final outcome of ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ this matter can only be determined in court, with both sides going head-to-head to see what the final result will be.
However, Zhao Qinyuan was not to be outdone, or perhaps he was prepared, and immediately launched a counterattack after his side was exposed.
【Hamburger without cheese: This drama tonight is really interesting. I'll add some dirt on you too. @Hanbei Entertainment-Ren Yibai, when it comes to workplace harassment and bullying, no one can compare to you. You've changed 35 assistants in just one year since your debut. People who don't know better would think you're choosing your own concubines. 【Screenshot】*9】
【???】
Wow, this juicy gossip is getting more and more interesting tonight! Sis, can you do a live stream? I'll be there no matter how late.
【What's going on here? Why are all the parties involved at Hanbei Entertainment now? Your boss should probably go pray at a temple; it feels like your company is going to go bankrupt.】
【I'm shocked! Is there any evidence? Let me see, let me see.】
【Seriously, can we at least get some real dirt on them tonight? Previous leaks always included photos, videos, and audio recordings, but this is just a bunch of chat screenshots. How credible is that?】
【They're probably afraid of being sued for violating portrait rights by posting photos; those celebrities are incredibly shrewd.】
【Uh, but it's really boring.】
Xiao He squatted in front of the computer to check the situation. In the video conference next to him, Liu Rulan's voice was unusually calm: "This smear should be Zhao Qinyuan's counterattack against Ren Yibai. Now it's just a matter of who is more skilled."
"Sigh, it's like having shit on both sides."
Xiao He sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
One is the second male lead in "The Legend of Chasing the Wind," which has already finished airing, and the other is the male lead in "Mistaken Identity," which has not yet been released. One just finished working together, and the other will need to continue working together in the future. If these two were to fight, Xiao He would be genuinely afraid that one of them would end up in jail.
I finally experienced the feeling of being terrified.
Xiao He was worried that when he opened his eyes the next morning, he would find that "The Record of Chasing the Wind" and "Making a Mistake" were gone.
That would really make you want to vomit blood.
If he could, he really wanted to ask both sides to stop fighting.
"However, I am also very curious about where Zhao Qinyuan got the courage to stand up to Ren Yibai."
Xiao He pondered, "If I remember correctly, Ren Yibai is currently the artist that Hanbei Entertainment is promoting the most. He has been given all the good resources and traffic. He should also have some influence and background. As for Zhao Qinyuan... to be honest, he should not be a match for Ren Yibai."
They even came to him for help when they were looking for resources, which shows that Zhao Qinyuan was truly out of options.
Even if these two companies really fight, Hanbei Entertainment will definitely protect Ren Yibai, not Zhao Qinyuan.
Xiao He really didn't know where Zhao Qinyuan got the courage to fight against this "royal family member".
"I don't know either."
Liu Rulan frankly said, "Hanbei Entertainment is really not familiar with us."
If it weren't for the connection between the Golden Flower Awards and Dr. Zhong Nanshan, they probably would never have cooperated with this company in the future.
Therefore, no one knows what gave Zhao Qinyuan the confidence to stand up to Ren Yibai.
The very next day, everyone learned the final result—
That means nothing happens.
When dealing with negative rumors, Zhao Qinyuan adopted the principle of clarifying some parts and ignoring others. He only clarified the workplace harassment issue, and chose to ignore the part about the alleged CP (couple pairing) hype.
However, his new company, Hanbei Entertainment, must have also put in a lot of effort. They had a good talk with Taidong Entertainment and got the person who leaked the information, Chongfeng Hailuo, to delete the leaked content. Everyone compromised and wished each other well.
As for the matter of Ren Yibai and his several assistants, it is even more confusing because there is no substantial content, it is basically all chat screenshots, and there is no credibility at all. So Ren Yibai directly chose to sue and issue a statement, and then played dead, without taking any further action.
Neither of the whistleblowers made any further revelations.
This incident started off with a huge commotion, but ended rather abruptly. After both sides voluntarily deleted related topics, the internet became clean again.
Many netizens felt like they had been tricked by the two of them.
Oh, actually it's not a feeling, I really did get to visit both of these companies.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the two sides have reached an agreement.
It's truly amazing that Zhao Qinyuan could fight Ren Yibai to a standstill, with each taking a step back – it's practically a miracle!
"This kid must have some leverage over there, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy."
Xiao He was brushing his teeth while checking his phone when he discovered that Zhao Qinyuan had just announced that he was about to join a production team, and that it was a big-budget, high-production-value project. He immediately spat out the water in his mouth.
"He actually managed to get that? Amazing!"
If I'm not mistaken, this should have originally been Ren Yibai's cake.
What kind of leverage could Ren Yibai have that would make him give up such valuable resources to Zhao Qinyuan?
Xiao He's gaze returned to the more than thirty assistants that netizens had been discussing earlier, and he seemed to be deep in thought: "Could it be related to this matter? Does Zhao Qinyuan have solid evidence?"
That's even more impressive. He didn't notice anything wrong with Ren Yibai when he joined the crew.
Could it be that his sense of smell has failed him?
Or is it that Ren Yibai has other ulterior motives, the kind that are morally questionable?
Recalling the time he spent on the set of "Mistaken Identity," Xiao He hesitated for a moment before politely inquiring about the director there to see if the incident had affected the crew.
When Zhan Min received Xiao He's call, he was visibly surprised, but then he smiled happily and thanked Xiao He for his concern: "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Xiao. Everything is going smoothly for our crew. We have now entered the post-production stage. You must come and see our finished product in February."
"That's good."
Xiao He casually inquired and, after confirming that Ren Yibai's public opinion would not affect the film, felt much more relaxed. He said goodbye to Zhan Min and hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, in Beijing, at Hanbei Entertainment...
The headquarters of Hanbei Entertainment was thrown into brief chaos due to what happened online.
One celebrity's office was even smashed into ruins.
"Who took the picture? Who was it?"
"Damn it, all he does is chase after me and take pictures. He'll die, he'll go to hell!"
All sorts of foul language emanated from the office, and those around remained silent, afraid to provoke the trouble.
Zhan Min walked against the flow of people to the center of the chaos, grabbed one of the managers, and said with a helpless smile, "President Lin, why hasn't our editing team arrived yet? We're waiting for them to start work."
Mr. Lin was already incredibly annoyed, and when he heard Zhan Min's question, he glared at him and said, "What editing team? Don't you have your own? Why are you asking us?"
"Oh dear, isn't this Teacher Ren's requirement? But now he—"
Zhan Min gestured in that direction, and the next moment, an ashtray flew out from inside the door.
Mr. Lin felt a chill run down his spine and waved his hand impatiently: "You guys take over yourself. He's always causing too much trouble. Look at him now, he's been messed up like this by a new guy who just joined the company. He deserves it!"
"Go away, go away! The company's been incredibly busy lately, where would we find so many teams to lend to you? Let me remind you, this project is extremely important to us, so don't even think about slopping it off. Get your job done!"
"Okay, okay, Mr. Lin, thank you for your hard work. We guarantee to complete the task."
Zhan Min was overjoyed to receive confirmation.
Unexpectedly, Ren Yibai's side ran into trouble, and the editing of his movie became uncontrollable. It was truly a stroke of luck for him!
Hmph, so what if they cut other people's scenes?
He has a backup!
Hehe, I'll quietly add it back later~
