Chapter 190: Chapter 185: Human Favors
Translator: 549690339
Such firmness, truly reminiscent of the old man behind her! Only someone of his character could have a granddaughter like this, right? The embodiment of “rather be broken than bent”! It’s rare to see such a personality in a man, let alone in a woman.
Her stubborn silhouette was captured by countless journalists. After the press conference these media figures posted this silhouette image as their headline directly on their online platforms, videos, and other media outlets. One of the largest online media companies in the country, Penguin, even sent a pop-up to all users containing the news.
The title they used was “The Stubborn One”!
Anyone who understood the entire situation was struck by the fact that when the girl, the one bold enough to confront everything publicly, the situation became irreversible. Netizens are powerful, and one should never underestimate the existence of experts among them! Although Kay Lee never specified who was pressuring her, did this mean that the matter couldn’t be investigated?
No, it did not! Within a few hours, undoubtedly someone would expose who was supporting Kay, and every CEO would foresee what might happen next. Once Kay’s backer gets exposed, his background will naturally follow, and the entire reputation of the Blackfield Group would likely be tarnished.
Amid these whispers of scandal, would the Blackfield Group dare to expose more scandals? In the current climate of intense scrutiny, who would dare place themselves within the crosshair? Even if the Blackfield Group is a private company, could they expose a celebrity with just the power of their company and not rely on their networks?
Yuri Johnson was stunned. He never expected Kay Lee to brave the media and reveal everything. After Kay Lee left, Yuri laughed bitterly. He instantly understood Kay’s courage. She truly didn’t want to owe anyone anything.
The biggest beneficiaries of Kay’s exposure were without a doubt WY, who dared to offer Kay a spokesperson contract worth a hundred million Flame Nation coins! Apparently, after hearing Yuri say they needed a topic of interest, Kay gave them one, but the favour was quite significant!
Upon returning to her room, Kay wearily collapsed into Emily’s arms and burst into tears. It was tremendous pressure for a girl to recite such information, word by word, without mistake in front of countless media members. She managed to suppress her emotions and say each word with strength. The fact that she only wept after was quite impressive.
Finn Lewis never expected Kay Lee to be so strong willed. He figured out that Kay was using the news about her to create a huge splash for WY. What’s more, after revealing that she indeed owed a billion and her current situation, no doubt all the subsequent media reports would verify this.
Countless Kay Lee fans left messages on her Weibo account, persuading her to stay strong. They wished her well and told her things would get better. They also said even if they didn’t play games before, they would stand up for ury, the company that’s been at Kay’s side, who gave Kay such a lucrative contract and even paid off her contract in full.
All for this reason, even if the game was that bad, quite a few people would still play. As Kay said, the internet does not lack experts. Less than three hours after WY’s press conference ended, someone online exposed Bryski Miller’s name, followed by the Blackfield Group’s name.
Then, less than an hour later, all the companies, enterprises, and a series of related information involved with the Blackfield Group was revealed online. No one knew which mastermind was able to collect such information in such a short period of time. Although Kay Lee is rich and a triple threat celebrity, clearly, she was still the weak party in the face of powerful people like Bryski Miller.
People tend to sympathize with the weak. So all companies involved with Blackfield Group faced a series of attacks online. Some idle netizens even compiled all the negative news about the Blackfield Group’s businesses into one post put it all over the internet.
Every company has a piece or two of negative news. That’s not a big deal. But the Blackfield Group is responsible for more than one or two companies. When all the negative news of these companies gets compiled, it’s quite shocking.
The news almost got ripped apart by the netizens. However, the Blackfield Group started to fight back quickly. First, a television station jumped out and said that the artist should be careful with her words and avoid spreading or blackening harmful things. Obviously, Kay Lee was referring to the Ocean Feast and Photo Gate incidents during her interview.
When the netizens saw this, they instantly flooded the official page of this TV station. Many directly cursed, is this count as blackening? Heck, just stating such items is equivalent to whitewashing their actions, right?
Subsequently, major media, television stations, etc. started to change their tune. However, they quickly discovered one thing: Kay Lee really had no scandals, unless they were willing to slander her senselessly. But they were the media, they would be in hot water if people found they were doing this.
So these media could only hint at reporting some things, like Kay Lee being a diva during filming or bullying her juniors.
The online debate was reaching fever pitch, instantly setting the entire entertainment circle and media circle ablaze. WY appeared to have made the right call. Naturally, VVY would never side against Kay Lee, especially when there were a significant number of active netizens on WYs side.
Just this alone has won back the goodwill of countless members of the public, who were unaware of the truth. However, Yuri Johnson was somewhat unlucky. The first call he received was from Bryski Miller.
“Mr. Johnson, your business seems to be growing,” Bryski Miller opened the conversation with ambiguity.
“Thank you for your kind words, it’s going okay thanks to you,” responded Yuri. Given the opposition, what did he have to fear? Especially when, as Finn had said, as long as Yuri wanted to sell, Finn would always buy Yuri’s 20% shares at a 30% premium according to WY’s share price on the contract signing day..
