Chapter 205: This counts as sexual harassment?

~16 min read 3,119 words

According to Linghu. There are generally two types of drug testing methods in China now.

The first type is body fluids. Such as blood, urine, saliva, etc. This testing method generally reflects whether there has been drug use within 1-7 days.

The other type is hair.

The longest time that can be traced in China currently is one and a half years.

Chen Nuo went abroad in June 2006 and returned to China on December 2nd. Today is December 1st, 2007.

The time point is just stuck at one and a half years.

In other words, if they go for a hair test later, the testing time will not be able to fully cover the time Chen Nuo was in the US,

at that time, whether you took drugs or not, even the official authorities would not be able to prove it. You yourself would be even more unable to argue, unable to wash yourself clean even if you jumped into the Yellow River.

Linghu finally concluded: "So my opinion is, the sooner we handle this matter, the more favorable it is for us. Regardless of whether these messages on the internet are true or false, big or small."

"If, Chen Zong, you really haven't touched them. My suggestion is this."

In the last sentence, Linghu once again emphasized his tone.

This suspicious personality is indeed like a scout.

Chen Nuo looked at Qi Yuntian, and Chen Nuo said easily: "Brother Chong, trouble you to go to the nearest place where testing can be done now. You are right, this kind of thing should be prepared for."

Linghu was completely relaxed now, smiled, and nodded. He started driving again and didn't speak anymore.

The car was quiet for a while, then Qi Yun said: "If someone is really pushing behind the scenes, could it be that they calculated this point?"

After speaking, he said with lingering fear: "If you weren't highly vigilant today, the consequences would be unpredictable."

Chen Nuo comforted: "You don't have to think too much, it might also be my illusion. But no matter what, follow Brother Chong's words and get the test report in hand first."

Qi Yuntian shook his head: "I don't think it's an illusion, it should be related to Harvey Weinstein. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? I think he should have found a collaborator in China. At least he hired a PR company to help him operate this matter."

Chen Nuo nodded.

Qi Yun's thought he had also thought of, but looking at Hearing Qi Yuntian expression, he didn't say it.

Qi Yuntian continued: "Start spreading from the internet, wait for a period of time to build momentum, then suddenly erupt, catch us off guard, and through some true and false rumors, ruin your reputation. When the time comes, it only needs to spread to the US, and it will definitely have a very bad influence on the Oscar judges."

"The key is that at that time, we no longer have the means to prove our innocence."

"Chen Nuo, I must apologize to you, this is entirely my dereliction of duty." Qi Yuntian said solemnly: "As the company's general manager, the public opinion supervision department under me did not play the role it should have."

Chen Nuo said: "You follow me everywhere every day, where do you have time to manage the company? This matter cannot blame you."

Qi Yuntian said: "Yes, so I think we can't go on like this in the future. Either find you another personal assistant, or find our company another general manager."

Chen Nuo knew Qi Yun was right; the company's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it involves more and more aspects.

The company really needs someone to sit in town every day.

But with his suspicious nature, it was hard to build trust after cooperating with Qi Yuntian until now. Where could he find a replacement for his personal assistant in a hurry?

He immediately waved his hand: "We'll talk about this later. Let's deal with the current matter first."

In this day and age, there are really not many stars who take the initiative to self-test.

Unlike more than ten years later, if you haven't been tested to prove your innocence, you can basically prove that you are not a first-line star.

Therefore, when the staff saw Chen Nuo, they were stunned.

They thought something happened to this big star.

Later, when they heard that Chen Nuo was actually here to prove his innocence.

One of the female staff members was angry.

Conscience-less, these media now, and those internet mobs, are really getting more and more outrageous.

Whoever is popular, they can't help but splash dirty water on them; it's really lawless, eating human blood buns.

But Nuo... Chen Nuo, you are indeed upright and honest, well done.

It just so happens that the bureau has received a batch of the latest instruments. Give it three or five days, and we will definitely be able to prove your innocence.

It made Chen Nuo moved. When he left, he signed two more autographs for the female staff member's little niece.

The development of things in the following days was faster than Qi Yuntian expected.

It seems that the hand manipulating behind the scenes didn't have much patience to wait any longer.

In fact, there was no need to wait any longer.

After Qi Yuntian returned to the company and let the two managers of the public relations department go without compensation, the operation of the entire department suddenly became much smoother. Who let this be only 2007? Where did so many labor protection clauses come from?

After careful investigation, it was found that the earliest post about the rumors was posted on November 22nd.

That is, the day after Chen Nuo's interview on "A Date with Lu Yu" aired.

Afterward, in some large and small forums, under some popular posts, there would inexplicably be some replies with related content.

Often using a tone that is true and false, speaking very realistically.

Often using the sentence pattern "I have a friend abroad...", and once someone questions it, the poster will argue from various angles around this topic, fearing that the world will not be chaotic.

Unknowingly, it has accumulated a certain degree of topicality in every corner of the internet.

A few days later, on Saturday, December 6th, "Southern Weekly" and "Hong Kong Wen Wei Po" published a report about Chen Nuo's drug involvement.

The content of the article was very detailed, including time, place, and witnesses, and even the names of the witnesses were not covered up.

Chen Nuo even recognized this person; he was a handyman in "The Dark Knight" crew, named Michael Luther.

"So, now the evidence of Harvey's participation has come out. Being able to get people from 'The Dark Knight' crew to commit perjury, besides him, there will be no one else." Qi Yuntian said lightly behind the general manager's desk.

Using English.

Because the phone on the table was on speakerphone, and on the other end was Lori Eisner, who was staying up late to contact here.

"When 'Friday Hollywood' published this rumor, Jessie almost swallowed me." Lori Eisner said with a smile.

"But later, when I heard that you had already done the test report in China and had official endorsement, she hugged me and kissed me twice. Asked me to tell you, well done, and let you fax the report over as soon as possible."

Chen Nuo asked: "Next, what is Warner's plan?"

Lori Eisner said: "Of course, it's to clear your name. The Oscars will definitely not award any awards to a drug user; this is a fact that does not need to be debated. Therefore, the sooner you clarify before other larger media report it, the better."

"Our plan is to hold a press conference tomorrow morning. Invite a few testing experts from the LAPD laboratory, let them interpret the report from Chinese peers, and tell those reporters that this piece of paper is produced by Chinese officials and is no different from the American police station."

"Fortunately, if 99% of Americans would question the air quality test report issued by your country, then, the number of people questioning this aspect of the test report may not exceed one in ten thousand. After all, the fact that drug trafficking in your country will be sentenced to death is well known to us."

Chen Nuo laughed: "That's really thank God. Thank you for trusting our drug test report as much as you trust the annual gun death report in the United States."

Lori Eisner said helplessly: "Chen, I'm a Democrat, I don't believe that number either, okay. Well, I know you're angry, so I take back the air quality test sentence just now. Forget it."

Chen Nuo snorted and said: "Then continue."

Lori Eisner was surprised: "I'm done, do you think this is not enough? Oh by the way, if you think the voice in the US is too far, then you can also hold a similar press conference in China. After all, you already have an absolutely authoritative proof in your hands. Just show it, and all rumors will be broken."

"However, you can start suing those two media outlets that published false reports."

Chen Nuo said lightly: "So this is Warner's handling result? That's it?"

Lori Eisner was even more surprised: "Yes, otherwise?"

"What about Harvey Weinstein? Don't you plan to give that son of a bitch some color to see?"

"Uh..." Lori Eisner dragged her voice, "Chen, I understand your mood, but first of all, we don't have hard evidence to prove that Harvey Weinstein did all this."

"Secondly, Harvey really has many friends in Hollywood."

"Third..." Chen Nuo didn't wait for her to finish and interjected: "Third, he also has many enemies."

Lori Eisner was silent for a while and said: "Chen, I don't understand what you mean."

Chen Nuo said lightly: "Then I'll tell you later. Now listen to me, give me the contact information of Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, and contact a reporter from a major newspaper you are most familiar with and trust, such as the New York Times, and let him stand by."

"I..." Lori Eisner "I"ed for a long time without continuing, and finally asked: "My God, Chen, what are you preparing to do?"

What can he do?

Harvey Weinstein teamed up with someone in China who doesn't know who it is to cause him trouble.

He didn't think about taking his life,

so he couldn't find a few killers to kill him, right?

So just find trouble for each other.

Gwyneth Paltrow, born in 1972, 35 years old this year, from a family of actors, played the young Wendy in Steven Spielberg's fantasy adventure film "Hook" at the age of 18.

Her acting career started high, and in 1999, at the age of 29, she won the Best Actress award at the 71st Oscars for "Shakespeare in Love."

Angelina Jolie is the exact opposite.

Her family was poor when she was young, and her acting career was also bumpy, until she won the Best Supporting Actress award at the 72nd Oscars in 2000, which was considered a turnaround.

One is a blonde, blue-eyed Jew, the other is a five-country mixed-race with black hair and black eyes, and the rest, regardless of background or acting experience, are completely different.

But there are three things in common.

First, these two are currently top-tier superstars in Hollywood.

Second, these two were once victims of sexual harassment by Harvey Weinstein.

Third, they are also among the first female stars to reveal to investigative reporters of the New York Times that they had suffered sexual assault by Harvey in the 90s.

Chen Nuo is not an investigative reporter for the New York Times.

However, he is a very gentle and kind friend of women who came to China.

Knowing that there is such a lawless person like Harvey in America, he would rather travel across thousands of mountains and rivers to preside over justice.

Even the round-trip air ticket is self-paid.

That's right, Chen Nuo is really a narrow-minded man.

People just prepared to poke him, even the finger just stretched out, and he discovered and dodged it, but he seemed to have been exploded like a chrysanthemum.

On the day of the Warner press conference, he asked for leave from school and quietly transferred to Hong Kong, flying to the United States.

He handed over all the matters in China to Qi Yuntian. Including digging out the hand that was making waves in China.

Now Huayi's suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest, but Brother Nuo's enemies in China are not just this one.

At least Sun Haiying and Lu Liping, the two currently unemployed people, definitely hate him to the bone. Whether there are others who secretly envy his beauty, that is even more unknown.

So to avoid accidental injury, it still needs to be verified.

The plane landed in LA. This city of sunshine was unexpectedly cloudy, with thick dark clouds covering the sky, feeling like it was about to rain.

This made Lori Eisner, who came to pick up Chen Nuo and Linghu, click her tongue in wonder.

"Perhaps God also knows that your arrival in the US this time will bring haze to this City of Angels."

Chen Nuo laughed: "Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about God. I think His old man's meaning is to imply that this Hollywood is full of dark, dirty things, and let me come to let it see the light again!"

Coincidentally, after he finished this sentence, a gust of wind really came from nowhere in the sky.

In an instant, the dark gray lead clouds were blown away, revealing the clear blue sky behind, as if washed.

Golden sunlight also reappeared on the earth.

This is 100% a coincidence, but Lori Eisner is already making the sign of the cross.

Making Chen Nuo unable to laugh or cry for a while.

Chen Nuo met Angelina Jolie in a luxury suite at the Hilton, opened in Lori Eisner's name.

There was only Angelina Jolie in the room; her superstar husband did not come.

This was the second time Chen Nuo met her.

Although they didn't talk much in Cannes last May, they did perform the cheek-kissing ceremony.

This time was the same; the two smiled and hugged, kissed left and right, and then sat down on the sofa.

Jolie's assistant and driver were waiting in another room; there were only Angelina Jolie, Chen Nuo, and Lori Eisner in the room.

Chen Nuo didn't intend to play the step-by-step game of the Chinese with the Americans, directly calling Angelina's nickname and getting straight to the point: "Angie, I'm very sorry for your encounter with Harvey Weinstein."

Angelina Jolie widened her eyes, looking at Chen Nuo without moving, her mouth somewhat vaguely saying: "I don't know, I don't know what you're talking about, Chen."

"Angie, you know. You're just wondering why I know, right? To tell you the truth, I have a friend, and she almost became a victim too."

"Really, just that close. But it already counts as sexual harassment."

"My friend has already decided to stand up and report that bastard Harvey, so he gets the punishment he deserves. Protect more women from being harmed by that shameless villain Harvey Weinstein."

Angelina Jolie still looked at him with her deer-like eyes, her sexy big mouth murmured a few times, and didn't say a word.

Chen the Scumbag had experienced too many such scenes and didn't feel embarrassed at all, saying: "As for how my friend knows your name, it's because Harvey likes to write down every female star he has violated in a notebook of his, and also records some unbearable things. And my friend saw your name on it."

Chen Nuo's story reached this point, and it was simply too terrible. For any woman, it could be called a bolt from the blue.

Angelina Jolie covered her mouth with both hands, surprised: "OMG, he... he really?"

Chen Nuo nodded very sincerely: "Yes, really. It is precisely because of this that my friend made up her mind to stand up and report his atrocities."

Finally, he emphasized his tone again and said: "The most critical thing is that there is not one name in his notebook, nor ten, twenty, but hundreds. Even, I can guarantee that that is definitely not all, Angie. Harvey Weinstein, this beast, has had hundreds or thousands of girls suffer cruel treatment in Hollywood over the years."

"Although I am a man, every time I think of their tragic encounters, my heart aches so much that I can't breathe. I really want to hold their hands, just like I am holding your hand now, and say one sentence to them, and also to you..."

"MeToo."

Coming out of the hotel, Lori Eisner couldn't help but say again: "I reiterate once again, Chen, you are really an orator. My God, that 'MeToo' of yours is simply a stroke of genius. If I were in Angie's shoes, I would definitely cry loudly like her."

Chen Nuo didn't have the self-awareness of a plagiarist at all, but smiled very warmly, explaining: "Lori, that wasn't a speech, I really felt something, and it came from the heart."

"Really? So, you told Angelina Jolie that your friend is Gwyneth Paltrow—is that also from the heart?"

After Lori Eisner said this slightly mocking sentence, she immediately regretted it.

Although she didn't know through what channel Chen Nuo learned about Harvey's scandal, especially knowing the specific names,

in fact, his coming to the US from thousands of miles away also had a hint of taking the opportunity to retaliate,

however, what he did was indeed helping women.

Seeing that Chen Nuo didn't answer her teasing,

Lori Eisner said somewhat shyly: "Sorry, Chen, what you did is correct. Indeed, only in this way can we encourage Angelina to stand up, and I shouldn't have said that, I apologize to you."

Chen Nuo certainly couldn't say that he was recalling how many female stars were qualified to stand up in the list that was made public in later generations. As the initiator of the MeToo movement in this life, how many comrades-in-arms could he have.

In fact, what Lori Eisner said, for his thick skin, the lethality might be negative.

He smiled: "I accept your apology, Lori. By the way, I heard that your girlfriend is also in Los Angeles, right? Do you have time tonight? Let's have a meal together, how about it?"
