Entertainment: Who exactly is trying to whitewash me?

Chapter 13 Who's in favor, and who's opposed?

"well……"

Lu Ang first let out a long sigh.

"My company... well, let's just say it's a long story!"

He shook his head, his face full of pain: "On the surface, they call themselves an entertainment company, but the things they do behind the scenes... tsk tsk... they're simply inhuman!"

"What exactly did they do?"

Suddenly someone asked a question.

Lu Ang turned his head and saw Su Wanqing smiling, looking at him with curiosity.

This beautiful woman really loves to stir up trouble.

Lu Ang thought to himself.

Then he suddenly slapped his thigh!

"Good question!"

He looked at Su Wanqing, then at Gu Yan, Jiang Nian, Lin Shishi, and Zhou Lei.

I scanned everyone.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

This also includes Xu Zhenhong, who is watching the show right now!

……

During this period of time,

The other person had clearly been watching the show the whole time.

And then Lu Ang started talking about the company.

Still in this way.

The boss was clearly in a hurry.

However, the more anxious the other party became.

Lu Ang remained silent.

He just stared at the other people in front of him, looking over...

Look over there again...

Look over here...

Look over there again!

[Xu Zhenhong's hater rating +10]

[Xu Zhenhong's hater rating +20]

This Mr. Xu is still continuously providing hater points.

At the same time, other guests and audience members also received a large influx of negative comments.

Seeing this, Lu Ang almost let out a soft snort.

Is this... the power of fragments?

No wonder those authors on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) keep creating chapter breaks.

Damn it!

He just kept dragging it out, and when the number of haters slowed down a bit, he sighed.

Or cough.

He looked like he was about to speak.

This happened several times, and he gained several thousand more hater points.

Among them, Xu Zhenhong, the person in charge, deserves great credit for his hard work.

It provided a fairly large portion.

This continued until the fluctuations in the hater value stopped.

No matter what Lu Ang did, it didn't rise much afterward.

Lu Ang finally sighed and said helplessly, "Actually, what my company did... I... can't say."

Su Wanqing: "???"

Jiang Nian: "???"

Gu Yan: "???"

……

The group of people immediately stared at Lu Ang, their heads full of question marks.

No, we've been waiting for you here for so long.

Is that all you wanted to say?

If looks could kill.

Lu Ang is probably already torn to pieces.

Unfortunately, a look can't kill.

However, Lu Ang did feel a little embarrassed.

So he smiled sheepishly and explained.

"After all, we signed a confidentiality agreement, so everyone can understand, right?"

[Li Ting's hater value +280]

[Wang Qiang's hater rating +320]

Obviously.

The show's guests and directors did not agree with Lu Ang's statement.

Each one of them was given a lot of hater points.

However, the number of haters given to several people in the company—General Manager Xu, agent Shen Lan, and Zhou Lei—was much smaller.

This is naturally because Lu Ang did not tell the truth.

This put their minds at ease a little.

And behind these people,

There are also a large number of viewers who are continuously providing hater points.

Lu Ang was naturally quite satisfied with this.

As someone caught in the vortex.

He deliberately brought up the company.

It will naturally attract the attention of others.

But he deliberately spoke vaguely, without specifying what it was about.

There was no violation of the return regulations.

It's a win-win situation!

But what Lu Ang didn't know was...

Right now,

The area next to the monitor that Liu Xin and the others were staring at was the barrage area.

After the large group of viewers finished criticizing Lu Ang, they naturally began to speculate.

Everyone was concerned about Lu Ang and the company he mentioned.

I became interested.

This was something Lu Ang hadn't expected.

In fact, such vague accusations are more likely to stimulate people's imaginations!

"Wait, what exactly does Lu Ang mean? What exactly does his company do?"

"This is terrifying to think about! Could it be the issue that's been trending on social media lately?"

"It shouldn't be that bad, right? The photos are already out, so it's basically confirmed."

"Then why did he say that?"

"Is it possible that he's just a despicable person?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I don't know if you've forgotten something, but when that incident about sleeping with fans and the photos first came out, everyone wasn't talking about Lu Ang, but someone else—Xu Chenghao!"

"Right, right, I remember now. Everyone thought it was Xu Chenghao who did it, since Lu Ang was nobody popular and nobody cared about him back then. It was only after he came forward to take responsibility that the matter was definitively classified..."

"So, do you think it might be...?"

"Are you guys out of your minds? It's already been confirmed that Lu Ang did it, and he's admitted it. What does it have to do with Guan Chenghao?"

"Exactly! A bunch of mad dogs, barking like crazy here!"

"We were just discussing it, we didn't say it was Xu Chenghao."

"Exactly! It's all because of you brainless fans that I hate these young male celebrities so much!"

"I don't care, you're not allowed to talk about our Brother Hao!"

……

Liu Xin just quietly watched the comments section, from the very beginning when they were criticizing Lu Ang.

To conspiracy theories.

Then a few of Xu Chenghao's fans suddenly stepped forward and muddied the waters.

The battle between passersby and Xu Chenghao's fans has begun again.

He shook his head helplessly.

Yet, some doubts also began to arise in my mind...

……

On the other side, Lu Ang watched as system notifications flooded the screen.

I felt really happy.

This also brought this matter to a close.

He continued, "I can't go into the specifics, but in short, this company is rotten to the core, from top to bottom. Except for me!"

"I advise everyone here to be very careful when signing with companies in the future. Of course, if you have any good job opportunities, feel free to introduce them to me..."

[Xu Zhenhong's hater rating +500]

[Shen Lan's hater rating +120]

[Zhao Qian's hater rating +100]

Huh, Sister Lan gave points to haters again?

This time it even broke 100!

Has your mentality collapsed this much?

Lu Ang was taken aback.

Although this company may really be terrible.

But I must say...

Shen Lan, as an agent, is indeed very competent.

You can actually tell a thing or two from the number of haters.

His own questionable actions, though they did affect Shen Lan's mindset.

However, the number of haters she gave was consistently pitifully low compared to others.

The fact that she gave so little shows that Shen Lan wasn't really angry.

Moreover, back when the original owner was being attacked online.

It was she who defied public opinion and consistently protected the original owner of this body.

At the same time, Shen Lan also secured this opportunity for herself in the dating reality show.

Although this is a D-rated program.

But judging from the current results...

Lu Ang was quite satisfied.

But these actions of mine, especially the things I just said to the company.

If the company finds out, someone will definitely put pressure on Shen Lan.

As a very capable agent, Shen Lan couldn't possibly be unaware of these things.

But knowing all this

Her level of dislike for Lu Ang is still very low.

That's enough to explain the problem.

"I just blasted the company like that on the show, they must be in an uproar. As my manager, Sister Lan will most likely have to take the blame when we get back..."

Thinking about this, Lu Ang felt a little uneasy.

He has already taken note of this agent.

He will definitely repay the debt if he has the chance in the future!

……

Meanwhile, a black van was driving back to the city.

Shen Lan leaned back in the back seat, her face ashen, having just hung up a phone call.

The call was coming from the company.

Furthermore, his tone wasn't as pleasant as before.

He told her to go back very sternly.

The assistant in the passenger seat glanced at her in the rearview mirror and asked cautiously, "Sister Lan... are you alright?"

Shen Lan forced a smile, her lips twitching slightly. "It's nothing."

That's what she said, but her clenched knuckles betrayed the real pressure she was under.

The assistant hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Shen Lan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

But this time, the usual stress-relief methods didn't seem to work.

Because that phone call was made personally by the company's CEO, Xu Zhenhong.

Although I knew this would happen when I made the arrangements for Lu Ang.

However, it must be said that Lu Ang's actions have put her under more pressure and brought her more unexpected challenges.

The next leg of the journey.

Shen Lan remained in that position, leaning back in her chair, without saying a word.

The assistant glanced at the rearview mirror again, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

After a long while, Shen Lan finally opened her eyes and looked at the scenery rushing past the car window.

She silently wondered to herself: Did I do the right thing?

In fact, she knew very well that Lu Ang's abilities were indeed very poor, and even if he had a future, it wouldn't be much.

Although she often says that she thinks highly of Lu Ang.

But she knew better than anyone that this kid was still far from being truly qualified.

At most, it's just a face.

If we're going to discuss these things...

The sacrifices she made seemed completely unnecessary.

But in her memory, Lu Ang had always been a very good child.

Although not very capable, he is very obedient and reliable.

She just didn't want to see such an innocent person being used as a scapegoat by the company.

She just wanted to give him another chance to save himself.

However... she had to admit it.

Lu Ang seems to have undergone some significant changes.

She couldn't quite put her finger on what the change was, but she just felt like the boy had become a completely different person.

"I hope I didn't do anything wrong..."

Shen Lan sighed silently in her heart.

I finally calmed down completely.

……

Meanwhile.

Meanwhile, on the dating reality show, after Lu Ang's outburst about the company subsided...

Then everyone continued with the next steps.

After self-introductions and initial impressions...

The last step.

Then came the room allocation lottery.

A staff member brought over a lottery box.

All the way there, until they put the box down, he kept looking at Lu Ang with deep eyes.

It seemed as if she wanted to convey something to Lu Ang through her eyes.

Lu Ang said he didn't understand it at all.

He whistled as he turned his head to look to the side.

As for the other guests, due to the disadvantage of being late to the party, they had no idea what had happened.

So, naturally, I didn't think there was any problem.

After the boxes were put down, Su Wanqing looked at everyone and asked, "Who wants to go first?"

The living room was silent for a second.

Just as Gu Yan was about to speak, Lu Ang spoke first.

"You guys go first, I'll be last in line."

He looked "generous" and waved his hand with a smile: "You guys go first, I don't care about the house."

Everyone looked at Lu Ang in surprise.

Has the sun risen in the west?

This guy actually knows how to be modest?

Gu Yan pushed up his glasses: "Then... shall I go first?"

Lu Ang gestured for him to proceed, his expression so sincere that no one could find fault with him.

Gu Yan reached into the lottery box and pulled out a slip of paper.

The first room on the left on the third floor.

Lin Shishi drew the second one.

The second room on the right on the second floor.

Zhou Lei is the third.

The second room on the right on the third floor.

Su Wanqing is the fourth.

The middle room on the second floor.

Jiang Nian is the fifth one.

I drew the first room on the left on the second floor.

Both men drew the third floor.

There were three girls, all on the second floor.

In the end, only Lu Ang was left who hadn't drawn a cigarette.

All eyes were on him.

Lu Ang stood up and walked towards the raffle box.

Jiang Nian's gaze followed his movements, her heart tightening.

Actually, she had been feeling restless ever since the lottery was drawn.

She was the last one to draw.

When she took her note, she naturally discovered that the box was empty!

There were no more notes.

In other words, there are no more keys!

Will the last person be punished?

Jiang Nian thought to herself.

How will the production team handle this?

Looking at Lu Ang's completely oblivious expression, Jiang Nian felt even more choked up.

She felt that this didn't seem quite right for Lu Ang.

after all,

This guy finally gave in for once.

In the end, we lost so completely...

She bit her lower lip, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Ang slowly walked to the lottery box.

He reached in, touched it, and then... came out empty-handed.

There was no note in my hand.

Everyone was taken aback.

What does that mean?

Lu Ang turned around, faced everyone, and gave them a bright smile.

"Actually,"

He cleared his throat and said with a smile, "I've already chosen the room."

Everyone: "???"

Lu Ang continued with a smile, "I was the first to arrive at the villa and looked at all the rooms. The master bedroom with the sea view had the best view and the softest bed, so I chose that one myself."

To boost his hater count, he deliberately revealed the truth.

He shrugged, looking completely matter-of-fact: "I was the first one here, so I should have a first-mover advantage. I think that's reasonable, right?"

The living room was deathly silent.

The staff members exchanged glances, sharing a knowing, helpless look.

From the moment Lu Ang began to be humble.

They had actually guessed that this moment would come.

For some reason, they didn't seem that shocked.

It's like... we've started to become somewhat immune to Lu Ang's shamelessness and thick skin.

However, not all viewers have such a good heart.

Therefore, Lu Ang was able to see it.

In the system panel, the blacklist value has exploded again!

Lu Ang almost couldn't suppress a smile as he watched the rapidly rising number of haters.

Then he simply stopped trying to suppress it and burst out laughing.

Then, with a smile on his face, he cleared his throat.
