Film and Television World Life Record

Liang Shuang also realized this.

He nodded vigorously: "That's right! In both videos, the perpetrators are lecherous men. Why did netizens attack Luo Yan first, then me, but no one paid any attention to that pervert?"

Li Mu said, "Next, you need to sincerely apologize and express your attitude. Guide public opinion and direct netizens' attention and attacks towards that pervert."

Liang Shuang said, "How should we guide this? This kind of thing is not easy! Otherwise, it wouldn't have turned out like this."

Li Mu said, "It's easy in some ways, and difficult in others."

"To get the media's attention and criticism to focus on sex offenders, there needs to be something about them that attracts their attention and generates buzz."

"After you posted that video, everyone only noticed the two of you. I, however, paid attention to that pervert and had someone investigate him."

"I'll send you the information via WeChat, please take a look."

Liang Shuang's eyes lit up, and she quickly opened WeChat to receive the message. After reviewing the information, Liang Shuang exclaimed in shock, "No wonder the police told us that he was a repeat offender, with more than a dozen records of suspected indecent assault and sexual harassment."

"He's a real scumbag, we can't let him get away with this."

Li Mu said, "Luo Yan was released the day before yesterday, but according to the news I just received, he was arrested again this morning for allegedly molesting women."

Liang Shuang exclaimed in shock, "Why isn't such scum sentenced? What's the point of letting him out!"

Li Mu said, "The country's criminal law in this regard is not comprehensive. At most, indecent assault and sexual harassment can only result in detention, which is too weak in deterrence. What can we do?"

Liang Shuang said, "We must expose him and make him famous."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course! There are more than a dozen recorded ones, and who knows how many more are unrecorded. Such a shameless character, who makes people grit their teeth, is much more hated than you."

"Once you throw it out, most of the attention focused on you will be drawn away. You punish the pervert and also extricate yourself from the situation—a win-win situation."

Liang Shuang was overjoyed to hear this.

"Thank you."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's nothing, don't be shy."

Liang Shuang said, "Does this mean I can clear my name?"

Li Mu shook his head: "It's difficult! Your image isn't bad to begin with, and you've done something brave and righteous, so it's not hard to turn your image around. It just takes a little more time. However, it's impossible to truly clear your name. There will be plenty of people who want to smear you in the future."

"But, as the saying goes, haters are still fans. You need both haters and fans to generate buzz, which can be both beneficial and detrimental to your future development."

"Oh, I see!" Liang Shuang was a little frustrated; she couldn't clear her name after all.

Li Mu said, "However, besides the pervert, you can continue to find people to share the public opinion and pressure on you."

"Regarding Luo Yan's matter, you only posted a video, and your original intention was not to target her. Those who really stirred up trouble and attacked Luo Yan were those influential self-media."

"Next, through Weibo, you can drag all these big V self-media into this mess. They're stirring up trouble to smear Luo Yan, so you can't be the only one to take the blame."

"In the Luo Yan incident, they also bear responsibility. They should all be dragged into it and share the pressure of public opinion. This will not only reduce the number of self-media and influential figures who criticize you, but also further divert netizens' attention and aggression towards you."

Liang Shuang nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling.

"I understand, thank you."

Chapter 324 Jiang Xiaoguo's Sense of Crisis

While Li Mu was talking to Liang Shuang, Jiang Xiaoguo led Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao toward the school gate in a flurry of activity.

Today is Jiang Xiaoguo's birthday. She originally planned to celebrate with Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao, but Jiang Xiaoguo hadn't seen Li Mu for several days, so her birthday was a convenient excuse.

He casually mentioned it to Li Mu.

As Jiang Xiaoguo's ex-boyfriend, he naturally knew her birthday. Understanding her implied meaning, he offered his assistance, and Jiang Xiaoguo readily agreed, albeit somewhat reluctantly, to attend her birthday party.

Jiang Xiaoguo, who was originally in dire financial straits, had planned to buy a small cake to celebrate with Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao, but now she has to spend a lot of money to treat them.

They agreed to meet at the Old Place Tea Restaurant at noon. Li Mu waited for them in his car at the school gate, and they all went there together.

However, just as Jiang Xiaoguo and her friends happily walked out of the school gate, they saw Li Mu and Liang Shuang standing in front of the car talking.

Li Mu was alright; his expression and actions were perfectly normal. But that wretched Liang Shuang, with tears streaming down her face, looking at Li Mu with bright, pleading eyes—what was she trying to say?

This is Jiang Xiaoguo's ex-boyfriend. Liang Shuang just messed with Luo Yan, and there's still a lot of criticism online. Is she going to turn around and make a move on her ex-boyfriend?

Scholars can endure it, but who can’t?

Jiang Xiaoguo tried to be a good person, even advising Luo Yan that Liang Shuang was pitiful enough and shouldn't be bothered with her. But the moment Liang Shuang dumped the scumbag Chen Zhuo, she turned around and started eyeing her ex-boyfriend.

Jiang Xiaoguo was furious.

Although this was just her ex-boyfriend and they had broken up, she was still very angry. Liang Shuang had previously mocked her for being too thin and small, saying she wasn't good enough for her ex-boyfriend, but she hadn't held a grudge!

They've come to snatch him away.

Jiang Xiaoguo's ex-boyfriend is now handsome and outstanding, and she absolutely will not allow anyone to take him away from her.

Just as Li Mu had offered Liang Shuang some advice and comforted her, Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly rushed over with a frosty expression.

He glanced at Liang Shuang, mustered his courage, and said loudly, "Liang Shuang, what are you doing? Let me tell you, don't even think about seducing people."

Liang Shuang was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized what Jiang Xiaoguo meant. Her face turned cold, and she said sarcastically, "Jiang Xiaoguo, how dare you be jealous? Someone like you, with no breasts or butt, skinny and small, has the nerve to be jealous."

"Look at yourself, do you think you're good enough for him? Someone like me, with a great figure, a pretty face, and long legs, would look like a real couple standing next to him."

Jiang Xiaoguo was furious. Who was so skinny and small, with no breasts and no butt?

"Liang Shuang! You're shameless! You're not good enough for him!"

"We...we..."

Liang Shuang snorted: "What do you mean 'we'! He's just your ex-boyfriend, not your current boyfriend. Remember, you've already broken up. You have no right to interfere or say anything."

Jiang Xiaoguo got even angrier.

“Then I won’t allow you to get close to him either. Even though we’ve broken up, we’re still friends. I have an obligation to care about him so he doesn’t get scammed.”

Liang Shuang was furious.

"Jiang Xiaoguo, what are you saying! What do you mean you were deceived! Who did I deceive? Explain yourself clearly."

Jiang Xiaoguo said, "For the sake of traffic, you didn't hesitate to let Luo Yan be cyberbullied online. Fortunately, the matter has been clarified now, otherwise Luo Yan would have carried the infamy for the rest of her life!"

Liang Shuang sneered, "I was wrong in this matter, and I deserve it, okay? But I'm still being cursed at online, aren't I? What did I say?"

Jiang Xiaoguo said angrily, "You deserve it!"

Liang Shuang's expression turned cold: "I deserve it, but what does that have to do with you? Are you here to laugh at me?"

As she spoke, she stepped forward, hugged Li Mu's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and looked blissfully happy: "Don't you think we're a perfect match?"

Jiang Xiaoguo's face turned red with anger, and she pointed at Liang Shuang, saying, "You...you shameless."

Liang Shuang said with a mocking look, "You're so shameless! Why don't you look in the mirror and have some self-awareness?"

"Alright!" Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, Li Mu finally spoke up.

Li Mu removed Liang Shuang's hand from his arm and said, "Today is Xiao Guo's birthday. You two are roommates, so watch your words and don't say anything hurtful."

"Xiao Guo, you should be happy on your birthday. You've been living in the same dorm as Liang Shuang for years, why are you throwing a tantrum?"

Neither of them spoke, but judging from their sullen expressions, they were clearly holding back their anger.

Liang Shuang suddenly smiled and said gently to Li Mu, "I'll let it go today for your sake."

He stepped forward and hugged Li Mu, then looked at Jiang Xiaoguo, whose face was pale. He waved his hand, as if he had won a victory.

"I'm leaving, you can go ahead."

As he spoke, his figure quickly disappeared at the school gate.

Jiang Xiaoguo glared angrily in the direction she had disappeared, then turned to Li Mu in a huff.

Li Mu laughed and said, "What's wrong? You're not really jealous, are you, Xiao Guo? We've been broken up for two years already."

Jiang Xiaoguo rolled her eyes at him and said haughtily, "Who's jealous of you? Of course not! I'm just worried you'll get scammed. Liang Shuang, so what if she's a little prettier and has longer legs?"

"What's wrong with her? Don't let her fool you."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can't fool me. At most, you'll eat the candy and throw the cannonball back. But you're meddling in everything."

Jiang Xiaoguo blushed slightly: "Who cares about you? I'm just worried you'll be deceived. As a friend, I'm concerned about you."

Li Mu smiled and said, "That's great."

Jiang Xiaoguo said, "Of course it would be great."

Then, with a serious expression, she reminded him, "Right! What did you just say? Eat the candy, then throw the cannonball back. Liang Shuang has a terrible temper, so you're not allowed to mess with her. If she throws you a candy-coated bullet, you're not allowed to eat the candy. If you eat the candy, you might fall for it and she'll stick to you from then on."

Li Mu teased, "It wouldn't be bad to stick together! Look at Liang Shuang, she has long legs and a pretty face, I wouldn't be at a disadvantage, would I?"

Jiang Xiaoguo was getting a little anxious.

"You don't know, Liang Shuang has a sharp tongue and a terrible temper, and she has so many rules. She has to rest at 10:30 every day. Just imagine if she were clinging to you and demanding that you rest at 10:30 every day, could you stand it?"

"Besides, she doesn't eat sweets, spicy food, or greasy food. If she gets attached to you, you'll definitely have to cater to her tastes, and you won't even be able to enjoy good food. How boring is that!"

Li Mu smiled and nodded: "You're right."

Jiang Xiaoguo said, "Of course I'm right. We've lived together for several years, and I know her very well."

"Not only are those problems, but Liang Shuang is also incredibly arrogant and obsessed with saving face. If she gets clingy to you, she'll pick fights with you every day, and you'll never have a peaceful time. She's not as easy to talk to as I am."

"Moreover, Liang Shuang loves to spend money. She buys all kinds of new cosmetics and new bags. She used to buy a new bag every month, even more often than Da Bao. She spends more in a month than I do in a year."
