Chapter 65
At the same time, almost all the media followed suit and reported on the news. Many marketing bloggers even praised Pei Musi's beauty and wealth at noon, and began to condemn him at the high point of morality in the afternoon.
In fact, it is very common for the rich second generation to make girlfriends in the entertainment industry, but this time the whistleblower obviously came with a purpose. He interpreted Xing Lan's lowered head in the video as forced, and Pei Musi's waist-hooking movement as Forced, coupled with the blurry picture, netizens instantly believed it.
Put the hat of a star who uses the unspoken rules of power firmly on Pei Musi.
Normally, although this kind of gossip and scandal would cause a storm, but after the clarification, spending money to suppress the hot search gradually faded away.But today is a very important day, it is the first day that Pei's Entertainment goes public.
The stock market, which had been soaring in the morning, was gradually showing a downward trend at this time, and then fell out of control after the news was pushed by major media.
Pei Yuan frowned, and said sharply, "Is Mu Si still attending the banquet?"
Assistant: "Yes, we haven't contacted the young master yet."
"Hurry up and activate the emergency public relations, and let him come to see me after contacting me."
"Boss Pei, do you want to thoroughly investigate this person's background?" The assistant analyzed, "I just glanced at him, and he is very cautious. All accounts are not real-named, and the IP address is located in a nearby Internet cafe."
"Let's check." Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
When Pei Musi recovered, Xing Lan took him back to the banquet.Approaching the entrance where there is a lot of traffic, Xing Lan let go of his hand on purpose, keeping a certain distance from him.But entering the banquet hall, they found that everyone's eyes were a little inquiring and strange.
Ning Yi looked very pale, and called Xing Lan aside.
"What were you doing outside with Boss Pei just now?"
Xing Lan paused, and asked guiltily, "We didn't do anything, we just stayed for a while."
Ning Yi handed him the phone, sighed and said, "You can see for yourself."
Headlines full of gimmicks and suggestive words filled Xinglan's eyes, and the comment section under the news was almost invisible, and many passers-by even found Xinglan's Weibo, and they were very angry underneath.
"I heard that you acted in my goddess' TV series "Phoenix Prisoner"? That's amazing, no wonder you have such good resources when you first debuted."
"What kind of young talent, high-cold president, with a dirty heart, really thought it was a novel? A big scandal in the entertainment industry!"
"Pei's home furnishing line is also endorsed by him, and there must be some benefits for being unspoken."
"You don't look bad. It's a pity that you have such a good face. It's hard to get popular with such a big black spot."
"Actually, this kind of situation is very common in the entertainment industry now, but these two people just happened to be discovered. Boss Pei is also in a hurry. Why can't we be intimate in a hotel? You have to be in the corridor in broad daylight."
"Be confident."
The hand holding the mobile phone trembled slightly, Xing Lan took a deep breath, with sorrow looming between his brows.
"Then what should we do now? Will it affect Mumu?"
Ning Yi: "What time is it, are you still thinking about him? Don't worry, based on the words of the person who broke the news, I preliminarily judged that he came after Mr. Pei, and you are just a victim at best."
Immediately afterwards, Xinglan heard Ning Yi say: "If necessary, the Pei Group may abandon you."
"Let's see how Mu Mu handles it. I can't help you much." Xing Lan's voice became smaller and smaller.
"But..." Ning Yi said regretfully, "After all, it is impossible to admit that you are in love with me. First, the public will not accept it, and some keyboard warriors will say that you must be persecuted by power and money. Second, their circle is against celebrities. Marriage and falling in love are quite despised, so this proposal cannot effectively alleviate the current situation."
She actually had a bad guess in her mind.She has been in the industry for so many years, what kind of people has she never seen?Especially for this kind of powerful and rich family, after an accident, they will only put their own interests first, and if necessary, they can give up everything except themselves.
For example, there was a case in which a well-known entrepreneur took advantage of a starlet. Later, the public relations said that the other party deliberately seduced him, and the incident passed.
She was afraid that the Pei family would use this method to deal with Xinglan. Xinglan was stupid and infatuated, so she might admit it.
After all... If this news is not publicized in time, the loss will be tens of billions.
"I understand. I'll ask Mu Mu how to deal with it tonight."
Not long after, Pei Musi hurriedly left during the banquet.
Xing Lan watched him from afar, and sat quietly in the corner of the sofa.
An emergency meeting is being held in the meeting room of Pei Group headquarters.
Pei Yuan sat in the main seat, with a serious expression on his face, while the higher-ups below were too frightened to speak out.For so many years, the chairman has not shown such a serious expression for a long time.
"At present, we have launched a first-level public relations and are working hard to suppress the news. But the stock price is still unstable and continues to fall."
"At present, apart from Pei's Entertainment's shares being implicated, our group's shares have also been affected. After all, this is a scandal."
"Public opinion is not easy to control. Our suggestion is to contact the celebrity concerned first, pay him a sum of money as a hush money, and cooperate with us to release a statement."
Pei Yuan asked in a low voice, "What statement?"
The director of the public relations department broke into a cold sweat: "Let's say that the celebrity lost his temper after drinking, Mr. Pei kindly helped and took care of him, and when he lost his composure, the celebrity took the initiative to kiss Mr. Pei."
"What about the evidence? Surveillance may not be like this." Pei Yuan continued to ask.
"You can PS. With the statement from us and the little star, plus a surveillance video, everyone should believe it."
At this time, the assistant walked in and whispered, "Mr. Pei is here."
Boss Pei responded and stood up: "You guys discuss the plan first, and I will chat with him alone."
Before entering the office, Pei Yuan personally called Xing Lan.
On the sofa, Pei Yuan asked, "Tell me what's going on with you two first."
Pei Musi told the truth: "There is no discrepancy with the video that broke out. I am a little drunk today, so I took the initiative to kiss the stars."
Now it's useless to say blame words, Pei Yuan went straight to the point: "What are you going to do?"
Pei Musi: "Announce the relationship."
"Do you think it's useful to announce the relationship now?" Pei Yuanni glanced at him, "And the announcement of the relationship with the celebrity can save the stock market?"
Pei Musi took out the relevant financial news that he had searched on the road, "There have been many news reports that the chairman of the company is with a celebrity, and their stock prices have even risen significantly."
Pei Yuan took a glance: "He is marrying the actor and actress, who has traffic and popularity, which is different from your current situation as a rookie star who is caught in the unspoken rules."
"But there is no better way." Pei Musi replied with lowered eyes.
"I have a good idea here." Pei Yuan informed Pei Musi of the board's proposal, "What do you think?"
"Dad." Pei Musi stood up straight, his light-colored pupils were a little shocked, and stared at him for a long time: "If you do this, what will Xing Xing do in the future?"
Pei Yuan said calmly: "Xing Xing can engage in other industries. What he wants to do, we just let him do it with the money. It's not necessary to become famous in the actor industry."
Pei Musi asked back: "Then have you considered his feelings?"
"Mu Si. In the face of the interests of the entire group, personal feelings and moods are not important. If this matter does not settle down, your company's good momentum and start will be ruined. You only care about Xinglan's mood, have you considered it?" Is it the hard work and dedication of thousands of employees in Pei's Entertainment? How many employees will be laid off after the capital has been hit hard this time? Don't they have a family? Don't they have children? Is their mood not important? As a business leader, you can't be so selfish, you only care about one person, and you have to take the overall situation into consideration."
Pei Musi was silent for a long time: "This matter is my fault, I will think of a way that can achieve both."
"Time is money right now, and the stock market is changing rapidly, so there is no room for you to think of a way. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will arrange a press conference, and I will send someone to prepare the statement materials, just read it."
In the end, Pei Musi got up with his head down, walked to the office door and stayed for a long time: "Dad, do you know that Xingxing is no longer a monster when he comes back this time? He became a human after he succeeded in revenge, and came here alone Find me. Originally, monsters can live for thousands of years, but he is willing to give up, only wishing to be with me in these decades. How can I face him? How can I be worthy of him?"
Pei Yuan's expression flickered for a moment, but he didn't say anything.
On the way home, Pei Musi's mobile phone received a message from Pei Yuan.
"You must arrive on time for the statement meeting. I told Xinglan about your situation, tens of billions and Xinglan, you make your own choice, and I won't interfere."
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when I got home, and there was a smell of rice oncoming.Xinglan was wearing a colorful apron, trotting over: "I'm back, are you hungry? Eat quickly."
Pei Musi nodded, took his hand and came to the dinner table.
"I heard that the food in this restaurant is very delicious. It depends on which dish you like. I will learn to cook it for you in the future."
Pei Musi smiled: "Okay. But you are so busy filming, where do you have time to learn? I'm afraid it's not dark cooking?"
"You'll bully me." Xing Lan put on transparent gloves and began to peel the crayfish, "Mu Mu, did you learn to draw before?"
"Well, what's the matter." Pei Musi signaled him to give the crayfish to himself and peel it by himself. "It's nothing, I suddenly feel that drawing is very interesting, and being a designer is also good." Xing Lan said with a grin.
Pei Musi fed him a shrimp: "You are very talented in acting, and if you will become famous in the future, you should feel at ease as an actor."
Xing Lan lowered her head and said nothing.After a while, he slightly raised his head and raised his eyes: "Mumu, actually I just want to be with you when I come back here. It doesn't matter what I do, the most important thing is to be happy."
"…Star."
Pei Musi heard the voice and said: "Don't pay attention to my father's words, trust me, I will handle it well."
"Can you really handle it?" Xing Lan couldn't hold back her tears after all, her eyes were red from crying: "Uncle didn't force me, I was willing to declare that, at worst I won't be an actor."
Xinglan cried out of breath: "...as long as you don't throw me away."
Putting down his chopsticks, Pei Musi quickly wrapped Xinglan in his arms: "No, I will never leave you." He rubbed Xinglan's hair and said distressedly: "This incident was caused by me , the fault is mine, and I shouldn't let you bear it. Please also trust me, I will handle it tomorrow."
"How to deal with it." Xing Lan's eyes were red, "It's not that I don't understand anything. Sister Ning Yi also analyzed it for me today. This incident has caused you a lot of loss. Let's do what Uncle Pei said tomorrow. May I?"
"Xing Xing, I have plans, you don't have to be afraid."
When she went to bed, Xinglan was still uneasy, holding the quilt with both hands and her eyes were red.Sitting in front of the computer at the desk, Pei Musi didn't know what to do, so he went over and stroked Xinglan's head, "Go to sleep, I have things to attend to."
Xinglan stretched out her hand and pulled him: "... Mumu"
After sitting up, he murmured: "Let me help you, I don't want you to always bear the burden of accidents, and clean myself up."
"Don't worry, I'll let you help me tomorrow." Pei Musi put his arms around him and looked ahead. "Then follow the original plan, and I'll say that I kissed you first when I was drunk." Xing Lan asked.
"Okay." Pei Musi nodded lightly in order to let him go to bed early.
After the night passed, Pei Musi hardly slept and was busy with tomorrow's affairs.After a simple breakfast, they headed to the site of the statement meeting.
In the audience, many reporters and media were already sitting, and Pei Yuan was also sitting in the audience.After the assistant said a few words, Pei Musi walked to the camera.Today's statement will be very popular, and dozens of media will broadcast it live.Chigua Luren was active in the live broadcast room, waiting for Pei's statement.
Before going on stage, Pei Musi replaced the PPT prepared today, saying that there were new things added.The staff in charge of the review didn't think much, and nodded in agreement.
Standing in the center, Pei Musi first apologized for taking up public resources, and then said that he would pay attention to his behavior in public places in the future.
Xing Lan hid in the background, had already edited the statement Pei's connector asked him to prepare, and listened to the situation at the front desk from time to time.
When Pei Musi spoke, he came to the crack of the door and stared closely at Pei Musi.
At this time, a VCR was announced on the screen, which attracted the attention of everyone present.The protagonists in it are two young boys in school uniforms, chatting happily.There are sports games, mermaid performances, end-of-semester awards and certificates... There are even those that Pei Musi secretly recorded when Xinglan was in acting class...
These video data seem to be a long time ago, but each frame reveals the intimacy and tacit understanding between the two.
Pei's staff looked astonished, this is different from the plan, isn't it?
The reporter whispered: "So it's a childhood sweetheart?"
On the bullet screen, netizens' speeches scrolled quickly.
"I'll go! They've been together since high school?"
"Although puppy love is wrong, I want to howl!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Especially the mermaid performance photo! It's like a fairy love."
"It's the love I long for."
After the reminiscences in the VCR were over, there were videos of some people, who seemed to be old classmates.
Lu Huai, Jing Yi, and even the study committee members and sports committee members all appeared in the video.They first mentioned a few words about their life in high school, and then they talked about the small interactions between Xing Lan and Pei Musi in high school.
In the VCR documentaries, young people also appeared, this cannot be faked.
"The co-author is a young couple for many years? Isn't it normal to kiss and hug?"
"Boss Pei is 25 and [-] this year. How come he is [-] year away from high school? How dedicated are you to liking someone after all these years? Whoever he provokes is so slandered."
"The conclusion is that I brought my little boyfriend into the entertainment circle, and was slandered by the good news media."
"What's wrong with bringing your boyfriend into the entertainment industry? You didn't watch other people's boyfriends to learn acting?"
"To develop the group's entertainment industry for the one I love, blah blah blah! What kind of fairy boyfriend is this?"
"He is dedicated to love, handsome, rich and capable, Mr. Pei is GKD!"
In an instant, [Pei Musi, Xinglan's childhood sweetheart] went viral.
All the media people at the scene almost understood what the scandal was about.Childhood sweetheart love is said to be forced unspoken rules?You don't need to think about the conspiracy behind it.
The vice president sitting next to Pei Yuan said in a low voice, "President Pei is very strategic."
"En." Pei Yuan replied softly.
At this moment, the eyes behind the door had already turned red, and their face was stained with tears.Ning Yi stayed with Xinglan all the time, she didn't expect Pei Musi to admit it so generously.However, the preparations are sufficient, and the VCR is very touching.
At the end of the video, Pei Musi picked up the microphone: "Everyone must be aware of the situation between me and Xinglan, so yesterday's revelation is just a well-planned slander. As a couple, Xinglan and I are doing something in a corridor where no one is around. A slightly intimate act should not be illegal and not damage the social atmosphere, right?"
The audience roared with laughter: Boss Pei!fine!you can go on!
"The second thing is about the identity of the so-called whistleblower. After calling up the monitoring that day, we have identified the person who took the photo, followed his return route, and conducted an investigation. Coincidentally, when this gentleman left There is one thing left behind, which is an iconic medal." Pei Musi took it out in public, and curled his lips: "Although we haven't investigated the specific reason for the frame, and don't know the origin of the medal, but it's coming soon .”
"The red and yellow color scheme of this medal looks like the logo of Weixin Entertainment."
"Do you think Boss Pei doesn't know? There is no evidence but I want to show it to everyone, so it's just a wake-up call."
"Thank you for coming from the media. Today's press conference is coming to an end." Pei Musi paused after saying this: "My boyfriend's dream is to become an actor, which is why I work hard. Since this incident If it is going to be a big hit, then I will not miss this rare opportunity to advertise for him. If you are interested in cooperating, please contact us."
The atmosphere became active, and some reporters boldly asked: "May I ask you and Mr. Xinglan, do you plan to get married?"
"This..." Pei Musi turned his head slightly, looking at the door on the side: "Marriage is certain, I have to prepare for the proposal, and I will tell you now that there will be no surprises."
The reporter followed Pei Musi's line of sight and coaxed: "Mr. Xing is also there, right? The two of you are so loving, why don't we take a group photo and go back to do business?"
Pei Musi nodded: "I can, but I have to ask him if he is willing."
Behind the door, Xinglan cried so hard that her eyes were red and swollen.Ning Yi wiped his tears beside him and asked him if he would like to go up.
Xing Lan choked with sobs: "Go up, he already said that." After speaking, he straightened his clothes and pushed open the door.
Everyone in the venue looked over at almost the same time, Xing Lan sniffed, and walked towards Pei Musi who was smiling softly.
When he was about to walk in front of him, he cried uncontrollably again.
Pei Musi took him into his arms with big strides, rubbed his head and said to the reporters, "My baby is a little crying bag."
