Chapter 462: Kristen Stewart Comes Calling, a Partnership Opens Up!

Although no one on the island knew exactly where he lived.

Most of the reporters were clustered around the airport.

The reporters were firmly convinced that he would surely leave from the airport and return to his own company, seeking cooperation from the company's PR department.

"I've already been staking this place out for two days—how come he still hasn't come back? Could it be that he's going to stay on that island for that many days!"

"Maybe they're working remotely. Even if we block the place, there's no guarantee we can catch Xu Can's movements. And a smart person shouldn't need to use this method to corner someone—they would have already quietly gotten in touch with his company's employees!"

A reporter beside him, rubbing his hands together to keep warm, hurriedly said.

"We simply can't reach anyone in their company. Even when we do, they all fully support their boss without a single one changing their tune. Xu Can's influence really is something—everyone has been blinded by him!"

"That's not necessarily true. What if what they say is the truth? As reporters, our most important job is to inform the public of the real situation, not to assume beforehand like certain leaders that Reporter Zhang is right. He dresses himself up as a 427 victim to slander Xu Can—that version of the truth could also exist!"

Kristen Stewart saw Xu Can being besieged.

Without the slightest hesitation, she made the call.

She knew Xu Can now needed more celebrity support to get through this difficult stretch, and only with everyone rallying to protect him was there any chance of swaying the fans' impression.

"Why aren't you clarifying things quickly? If you need my help, just say the word!"

When the call came in, Xu Can was leaning leisurely in his chair.

It seemed as if he wasn't the central figure of that online firestorm at all.

Gazing at the sun outside the window, he said absently, "Adversity reveals true friends. I want to see who, at this moment, will stand by my side and help me of their own accord—rather than me having to go beg them."

"As for those waiting for me to come begging them—they must want to watch me make a fool of myself at such a critical moment. People like that are definitely not sincere toward me."

Indeed, several people had already called, mostly the superheroes he had worked with.

Some staff members had sent messages of support early on.

Xu Can silently noted every one of them down; he wouldn't let them go unrewarded.

"By now everyone should have sent their messages of support one after another. You can post yours too, and in keeping with what I promised you before, I'll still let you play Mystique in the X-Men."

A vividly colorful character—extremely skilled, yet also ruthless and vicious.

Although Kristen Stewart was thrilled inside, she was equally worried about Xu Can.

"Now isn't the time to talk about this, but I'm still very grateful to you. I'll release a statement supporting you right away!"

Before Xu Can had given any response, nearly every heavyweight celebrity had stepped up to vouch for him.

Xu Can was not the ruthless, vicious sort; he treated every person in the circle with complete sincerity.

A capable and sincere person is all too easy a target for others' envy.

Gao Yuanyuan was the first to issue a statement for Xu Can.

"The Xu Can I know is a serious, responsible person with a great future ahead of him. The more someone is like that, the more easily they become the target of envy. I hope everyone can start from their own true inner thoughts and absolutely not be swayed by others. Any clip that appears in a video could very well have been spliced together!"

As his girlfriend, Taylor Swift had already posted something at the very first moment.

She had prepared plenty of material—all of it showing Xu Can's careful treatment of small animals in daily life, as well as his care for extras in his everyday work.

"Originally all of this was something I secretly recorded just for myself to look at. I never thought it would actually come in handy! (ceej)"

Taylor Swift sat in Xu Can's arms, gazing out the window. After posting, the two of them admired the sunset together.

It was as if watching that uproar finally come to a close.

"Someone has already released video from the scene that day. I didn't expect multiple angles to come out. Why didn't they upload the footage they shot at the very beginning!"

Taylor Swift was amazed as she scrolled into videos from those different angles, which proved that Xu Can had only struck back angrily after the reporter first nearly stabbed him with a knife.

So many reversals led netizens one after another to apologize to Xu Can.

Xu Can didn't even need to watch the videos—it was as if he had foreseen all of this long ago.

"There are always some people who watch the fire from the other side of the river. Until they're sure something benefits them, they aren't willing to release such good evidence!"

"But in the end, once they found out I was the good person everyone was praising, only then were they willing to put the video out. If I had been the bad guy, they would definitely have been waiting for me to buy the video back from them at a high price!"

Human nature is just like that. It's not that Xu Can was thinking too badly of them; sometimes having an extra thought is just giving yourself an extra safeguard!

"I see. Good thing we don't have to buy those videos from them—otherwise those people would definitely open their mouths as wide as a lion. Whatever amount they asked for, we could afford to pay, but it would drag us into a state of endlessly covering up lies. Someone would eventually expose that we spent a huge sum just to buy the video!"

Xu Can gave a slight nod.

What Taylor Swift said was indeed not wrong.

It's just that this farce had dealt a certain blow to his image; he had to quickly recover it through the films he was familiar with.

At the same time, he needed to reverse the perception of violent behavior through certain details.

Charitable acts absolutely cannot start out of nowhere—it's too easy for people to see it as a whitewash. Fortunately, they had already kicked off cooperation on various international charitable projects long ago.

"Have the PR team in the company salvage the image from two angles—charity and extras' own accounts. Going forward, during the film production process we also need to weave in some details on that front, so we can thoroughly minimize the impact of this violent incident on everyone!"

Xu Can resolved this thorny problem in just half a day.

He spent a comfortable little holiday on the island with Taylor Swift.

The moment he arrived at the company, he had to start preparing Taylor Swift's upcoming world tour concerts.

In the office, everyone was heatedly discussing the theme for this one.

Taylor Swift was already their number one marquee name; this concert had to be prepared thoroughly, in order to open up fame across the entire world.

But Xu Can suddenly had an idea.

This time they could switch things up!.
