Chapter 137
Yao Bianliang hadn't expected Lu Group to contact her at this time.
Could it be that this pig-headed opponent was finally having a change of heart and starting to suppress her?
Yao Bianliang thought this possibility wasn't very high, but she still felt a rising sense of anticipation.
After all, she had been waiting for Lu Group's suppression until the flowers had nearly withered.
Perhaps during that previous period, Lu Group had only temporarily fallen into crisis. Now that they had recovered, they were preparing to take action against her?
Ẇ е̊.bn о̀v́ é l̂ Е̂ n̄ů ṁ.а
"Let's get straight to the point." At this moment, the man on the other end of the phone finally spoke slowly.
Yao Bianliang came back to her senses, listening with an expectant heart.

"Yao Bianliang, you're a smart person. I think... you wouldn't want things to reach the point of mutual destruction," he said. "I understand that because of what Lu Yanchen did back then, you harbor resentment toward Lu Group. But so much time has passed, and you've already made us pay a price. Now, isn't it time to stop?"
"As long as you're willing to stop, I can also promise that we won't target you anymore."
"After all, we've all been in the entertainment industry for so long, and no one wants to end up in a situation where both sides suffer. Don't you agree?"
This was the first time Lu Group had placed Yao Bianliang in an equal position, attempting to communicate with her.
Еn u̇ m̊ а̊
Perhaps because Yao Bianliang's status in the entertainment industry was growing ever higher, or perhaps because she had Hudi Entertainment as support—in any case, even Lu Group no longer dared to make harsh threats about blacklisting Yao Bianliang.
Hearing this, Yao Bianliang was slightly taken aback, then her eyes brightened.
Mutual destruction where both sides suffer?
This was good news.

She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"Sorry," Yao Bianliang said. "I don't think there's any possibility of reconciliation between us."
W е b̈ṅ о̃v̆ е̇ l̂ Éń u mа̌
Please feel free to target her with all your might.
No matter how violent the storm, she could withstand it!
The person on the other end of the phone clearly hadn't expected Yao Bianliang to reject them without any hesitation.
After a brief moment of astonishment, his voice took on an icy anger: "I hope you consider carefully. If you continue to expose our matters, believe me... even at the risk of bankruptcy, we won't let you off easily."
"There are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent interests. Is it worth sacrificing your future career path for a momentary satisfaction?"
"Yao Bianliang, as long as you still want to continue in the entertainment industry... you'd better not challenge our bottom line."

His words carried a do-or-die decisiveness. Any star hearing such words would have to think twice.
After all, a lean camel is still larger than a horse, and even a cornered rabbit will bite.
Lu Group's financial power far exceeded imagination. Even severely wounded, they still possessed formidable strength.
After saying this, President Lu's hand holding the phone tightened slightly, his lips pressed into a straight line.
In this moment, various possible responses from Yao Bianliang flashed through his mind as he silently considered how to counter each one.
Everything else was manageable, but those scandals absolutely could not be further exposed.
W̄е̄ b̄.n̂ оv̊е̇ ľ Е ń üṁā
And judging by Yao Bianliang's stance, she definitely had more moves planned.
At this point, he truly didn't want to continue fighting with Yao Bianliang.

After a period of silence, finally, Yao Bianliang's voice slowly sounded.
"I think what you say makes sense," she said. "But honestly, I don't hope to continue in the entertainment industry, so... your threats are ineffective against me."
Her voice was very relaxed. Though separated by a great distance, President Lu could almost see her slowly upturning lips.
She said: "I'm looking forward to your move. To be honest, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Е̄ n̊ůmа̄ .id́_
With a "click," the call was disconnected.
A busy signal came from the receiver.
President Lu sat stunned in his seat, still maintaining the position of holding the phone receiver, motionless.
When Yao Bianliang said she didn't plan to continue in the entertainment industry, President Lu didn't believe it.

In his view, this was more like a declaration of war—
Lu Group stated they would risk bankruptcy to make Yao Bianliang flop;
Е̊ ṅ u mа.
So Yao Bianliang stated she could also risk retirement to make Lu Group bankrupt.
She wasn't afraid of them at all. In fact, she had already prepared for mutual destruction with Lu Group!
"A madwoman, she's a complete madwoman!"
President Lu slammed the receiver down heavily, his face terribly unpleasant, his chest heaving violently.
In his mind, Yao Bianliang's words kept echoing—"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
So she had been waiting for them to make a move all along.

She was like a hunter hiding in the shadows, having already set all her traps, watching with satisfaction as the prey struggled within them.
After the prey made a final desperate struggle, she would strike, delivering the fatal blow!
After the initial fear, nameless rage rose from the depths of his heart.
How dare Yao Bianliang... how dare she?
Where did she get the confidence to think Lu Group couldn't threaten her at all?
Did she really think that with just a Hudi Entertainment Studio, she had the right to disregard Lu Group?

Cold sweat broke out on President Lu's back, and he finally leaned back against his chair, powerless.
"President, what should we do now..." his assistant stood nearby, carefully asking, "Continue talking with Yao Bianliang, or take direct action?"

As the assistant said this, he couldn't help but swallow.
Yao Bianliang's thoughts were too deep. At this point, he didn't believe their company could outmaneuver her.
There was absolutely no confidence!
Yao Bianliang was waiting for them to make a move, which meant she had a counter-plan.
E n um̂ à
Perhaps, when they launched their attack would be their moment of death.
But if they gave up struggling, they would only be left at her mercy.
The pain of a slow knife cutting flesh might be harder to endure than a quick death.
The things the assistant was thinking of, President Lu had naturally thought of as well.

He raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, finally taking a deep breath and saying slowly: "Execute Plan B. Since Yao Bianliang won't let us off easily, she shouldn't expect to get off easily either."
He wanted to see exactly what counter-moves Yao Bianliang had!

In recent days, netizens clearly noticed that negative news about Yao Bianliang was increasing online.
Initially, there were only sporadic negative reports. The studio and fan support association quickly came out to refute them, and before long, those negative reports were deleted.
But soon, endless negative news emerged, making it impossible to defend against all of it.

Soon, even uninformed bystanders noticed something was wrong.
[Why is there so much negative news about Yao Bianliang recently? Are these really scandalous reports?]
[Most likely my Sister Liang offended someone. This kind of thing is clearly deliberate smearing.]
[Hmph, I've long felt something was off. How could Yao Bianliang, a powerless celebrity, reach her current position? There must be a sugar daddy behind her.]
Wе.b̆ň ó v̆ e l̄ Ë n u mа
[I stand with Yao Bianliang. Even fools can see this wave is definitely because Sister Liang damaged certain people's interests, and the capital behind them couldn't sit still.]
......

Public opinion online slowly began to ferment, but Yao Bianliang no longer had the energy to manage these matters.
She had more important things to complete.
At the airport.
Assistant Chen and several studio colleagues came to the airport to see Yao Bianliang off.
Е nu ḿ а
The "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" crew had chartered a plane. Today, the entire crew would collectively travel to the southern forest for a year-long shoot.
"Sister Liang, we clarified several new rumors today, but there are too many, we can't handle them all..." Zhou Fei held files with a bitter expression.
It takes a lot of effort to refute a rumor that takes just a moment to spread.
He had lost count of how many versions of rumors they had seen.

During this period, negative news about Yao Bianliang was overwhelming online. Each time they reported and removed one wave, a new wave would emerge.
Three men make a tiger, the collective voice can melt metal—the best way to destroy a celebrity is to use various incidents and all possible means to smear them.
Е n u̇m ȧ
What was more frightening was that among these negative reports were not just false information but also true content.
Some of it was from when Yao Bianliang was still with the Yao family.
Before her debut, she was considered part of the socialite circle, and Lu Group had indeed found some black history.
True and false information mixed together, with videos and photos as evidence, making it nearly impossible to distinguish.
Yao Bianliang comfortingly patted his shoulder: "It'll be hard on you all during this time. You can clarify the more outrageous rumors, but don't bother with the true negative reports."
Clearly, Lu Group had changed their approach.

Initially, Lu Group's method of blacklisting Yao Bianliang was to suppress her popularity, making her disappear from public view.
Now, Yao Bianliang's popularity was too high. With the power of capital groups like Lu Group, it was no longer possible to suppress it.
So at this point, they simply decided to ruin Yao Bianliang's reputation.
Whether true or false information, they dumped it all out, doing their utmost to smear Yao Bianliang.
Destroying a celebrity's reputation isn't actually difficult. Just a tiny opening is enough to make people doubt the celebrity's persona and image.
The method was despicable but undoubtedly effective.
Е n̂ um̄а . і̃d.
"Alright, I'm boarding now." Yao Bianliang waved to Assistant Chen, Zhou Fei, and the others.
Then she looked toward Yu Yiqing on the other side: "Yiqing, during my absence, the studio is in your and Assistant Chen's hands."

Yu Yiqing chuckled and waved at her: "Okay, go without worry. I'll help you clean up all those rumor-mongers!"
The "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" crew had a lot of props. Various photography equipment and instruments were loaded onto the plane, taking quite some time.
Finally, after a period of waiting, Assistant Yan Xiaoli helped pack the luggage, and Yao Bianliang, wearing sunglasses and a mask, boarded the plane with the rest of the crew.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to take off. Please fasten your seatbelts and check..."
Ŵ ѐ b n ӧv̀е l̀ Е̇ n um_а̄
The sweet voice of the flight attendant sounded on the plane as it slowly moved, gradually accelerating before rising straight into the sky, leaving Assistant Chen and the others with just a small black dot.
Seeing the plane take off safely, Yu Yiqing finally sighed and withdrew her gaze.
Her expression turned a bit bitter as she turned to look at Zhou Fei: "By the way, how are the online comments about Sister Liang now?"
Zhou Fei said with a bitter face: "There's too much negative news, and some of it comes from before she entered the entertainment industry—all sorts of things we can't do much about."

"Besides that, there are some extremely outrageous rumors..." he paused, seemingly finding it difficult to continue.
"They're even spreading rumors that... Sister Liang is being kept as President Mo's mistress."
Ẁ е́bn̊ȯ v̀ е ľ Е̄n̈ u m̈å
"Cough, cough cough—"
Yu Yiqing nearly choked.
She was shocked: "Yao Bianliang is being kept by Mo Youqian?"
Which genius came up with this smear?
Mo Youqian's appearance could be considered high quality, with fame and status, and crucially, no romantic history.
Weren't Lu Group's people afraid Sister Liang would turn the tables and simply promote a CP with Mo Youqian?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Assistant Chen was silent for a moment before finally saying: "Not Mo Youqian, but... Mo Youqian's father."
"The reasoning is simple. It's because Mo Group has repeatedly provided strong financial support to Sister Liang. If it weren't for Sister Liang having a sugar daddy behind her, Mo Group wouldn't spend money like this."
Yu Yiqing: "..."
That doesn't prove anything.
"Of course, this negative report is just one among many," Zhou Fei continued. "There are also rumors saying Sister Liang is being kept by Mo Youqian."
"Besides that, some people say the reason you have a grudge against Lu Group is because Sister Liang failed to seduce Lu Yanchen and harbors resentment."
Ėnum̈ ā
"There are also various negative news about Sister Liang being a diva, drunk driving, being a mistress, and so on."
Yu Yiqing: "..."

What bizarre stuff is this.
"Would anyone actually believe such outrageous rumors?"
Assistant Chen thought for a moment: "Most people don't believe them, but there are always some minority who will be misled by opinion manipulators."
And this time, with true and false information mixed together, it was indeed very confusing.
Е n̊ üm.а̌.i d̆
Saying this, Assistant Chen also felt quite helpless.
The group returned to the car, which drove smoothly toward Hudi Entertainment Studio.
Yu Yiqing sat in the passenger seat, casually searching online.
Marketing accounts had mostly chosen sensationalist titles, covering all bases.

Netizen comments were mixed, though most people didn't believe such outrageous news.
[Too far-fetched. Can't these marketing accounts and paid commenters show some restraint?]
Ẽn̈ u m̂ a . і̊d̂
[Fine, let's say being kept as a mistress is false. But what about her previously drinking, smoking, and littering—is that also false?]
[That was before Yao Bianliang's debut. Smoking and drinking are her freedom, right? Are you going to control that too?]
[Littering is indeed wrong, but Yao Bianliang hadn't debuted yet... She doesn't do that anymore.]
[I don't care, anyway, Yao Bianliang's image in my heart is already ruined. Very disappointing.]
[Some people are really funny. An actress who is dedicated to acting and works diligently, contributing so much to the entertainment industry—just because of some dubious small negative news, all her previous contributions are completely erased?]
[Having a star like Yao Bianliang in Chinese entertainment—you should count yourself lucky. These negative reports are clearly from paid trolls smearing her.]

Before long, paid commenters joined the fray, and the internet quickly became a chaotic battleground.
Just like the pattern of praise killing, when people's expectations for someone are very high, even a tiny bit of negative news can plunge that person into an irredeemable situation.
"A nightclub hostess who still insists on attending university every day" versus "A female university student who goes to nightclubs to work as a hostess every night"—people always prefer the former and despise the latter.
Yao Bianliang was now facing exactly this situation.
She had been beautified too much, with everyone praising her endlessly when mentioning her.
At this point, even the smallest negative news could potentially be fatal.
Ѐ n ũm̊ а
Yu Yiqing simply couldn't bear to watch anymore.
She put down her phone and gritted her teeth: "Lu Group has really lost all shame... What should we do now?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Zhou Fei sat in the back seat, also feeling quite troubled.
Actually, Yao Bianliang's main responsibility was acting. Handling public opinion and negative news was the marketing department's job.
Now that Yao Bianliang didn't have the energy to deal with public opinion, no matter what, they had to hold the fort.
But... how exactly to handle it, Zhou Fei really had no idea.
W е̌b̃n̆о v е l E nu ṁа́
Assistant Chen pushed up his glasses, a thoughtful look crossing his eyes.
"Perhaps we don't need to worry about those rumors," Assistant Chen said slowly. "Haven't you noticed? Before leaving, Sister Liang had already arranged everything."
