on the internet now, intimate interactions between Old Ling and Tang Yifei during filming have already started to circulate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, an online media outlet popped up claiming an exclusive scoop, exposing that the two, Ling and Yao, are divorcing, and that it is because of Tang Yifei’s interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The article analyzed the sweet interactions between Tang and Ling during filming with great conviction, such as the two calling each other \"buddy,\" being close, inseparable brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Tang Yifei’s blog, she even called Old Ling \"Oppa,\" and when Tang Yifei was scared while filming on a wire, she even shouted across the internet to Old Ling: \"Oppa, save me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such naked flirting, the netizens were suddenly wide awake, and one after another began the activity of catching the scumbag and beating the mistress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui had been browsing these news reports for the past two days and was speechless; he had already warned Old Ling to be more restrained, but he didn't expect he would still get caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either Old Ling didn't take his advice to heart, or he did, but didn't handle it cleanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, public opinion is very bad for Old Ling right now; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say people are calling for his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only fortunate thing is that this time, Old Ling does not have the character Hong Shixian on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Old Ling is still being scolded, he isn't like before Qi Hui transmigrated, where people would project the character onto him and then beat him to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, before the transmigration, Old Ling being beaten half to death had a certain role played by the character Hong Shixian in adding fuel to the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way around it, the plot is too familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Shixian, original wife Lin Pinru, mistress Aili; Ling Xiaosu, original wife Yao Chen, mistress Tang Yifei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This moment is exactly like that moment; it is hard for the onlookers not to project themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus the evidence left behind by these two, Tang and Ling, it would be strange if he weren't hammered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this time Hong Shixian was played by Qi Hui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ling can be considered to have dodged a concentrated burst of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the main gate slowly opened, and Old Ling looked haggard, his face covered in stubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\" He said listlessly, the smell of alcohol still on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this situation, Qi Hui and Zhang exchanged a glance, both feeling quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, Old Ling was always high-spirited and unrestrained, but now he looks like this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys know?\" Old Ling lay on the sofa in a \"Ge You slouch,\" picked up a bottle of red wine that had been opened who knows when, and took a gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We know.\" Zhang answered truthfully: \"Came over to check on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really didn't expect that stinking woman to be this kind of person!\" Old Ling gritted his teeth: \"She has someone else on the outside, and she’s still trying hard to splash dirty water on me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s the one who’s fine, she did everything, and I’m the one bearing the infamy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother, calm down...\" Qi Hui quickly advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ling was so angry he started blurting out Shaanxi dialect: \"Brother, this is truly a shameful matter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be one thing if he just bore the infamy, but the key is that he is also the one wearing the green hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this not make him angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The matter has already happened, being angry is useless.\" Qi Hui said in a deep voice: \"The key is how to resolve it? And retaliation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How to resolve it?\" Old Ling took a gulp of wine, fuming and cursing: \"This kind of thing gets darker the more you describe it, and more troublesome the more you talk about it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Yao Chen has already made her move; even if he explains all the ins and outs and accuses Yao Chen of being ungrateful and despicable, it’s useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he would end up with a negative image of being petty and calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way around it, in the simple-minded public view, they just believe that a good man doesn't fight with a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can't physically eliminate her, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His family is in the entertainment industry, not the judicial branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang was frowning and thinking on the side; to be honest, Senior Brother Ling is absolutely right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were him, he also wouldn't be able to find a way to resolve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can't just find the media and tell them to shut up, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn't Hollywood; it's not a situation where the film company and the media are under the same parent company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have some ideas, listen and see if they might work.\" Qi Hui rubbed his chin and said slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\" Hearing this, Old Ling sat up at once: \"What ideas? Let's hear them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has no other way right now, so he might as well listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui pondered slightly and said: \"You are very right just now, this kind of thing gets darker the more you describe it, and more chaotic the more you talk about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, we say nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\" Zhang was confused; how is that any different from now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But not saying anything doesn't mean not doing anything.\" Qi Hui continued: \"If we don't occupy the battlefield of public opinion, the enemy will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what do we do?\" Old Ling asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Play the victim.\" Qi Hui said: \"Let people know how miserable you are now, let your fans and the onlookers know how much harm you are suffering right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use them to hedge against the negative public opinion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\" Old Ling immediately perked up: \"Makes sense, and then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it's to force the other side to make a mistake.\" Qi Hui said: \"We are different from Hollywood here; we can't actively smear the other side, we can't make things up out of thin air, we must go with the flow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how can we make her make a mistake?\" Old Ling asked, finding paper and pen to quickly jot down Qi Hui's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui rubbed his chin and said: \"Women are competitive animals; they always hope that their exes, their ex-husbands, will linger on them, dying to be with them... oh no, I mean, be desperate for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are very calm, then that violates her vanity; the calmer you are, the more it will stimulate the other side's competitive spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this situation, the other side will be like a ticking time bomb; as long as you stimulate her sore spot a little, she will explode directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ling had a dark face: \"Why do you know so much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang, however, discovered a problem: \"Senior Brother, something isn't right, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said to play the victim earlier, but then you said to be calm; isn't that a bit contradictory?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not contradictory.\" Qi Hui shook his finger and said: \"Misery is something that comes from comparison; you live in a villa and drive a luxury car now, how are you miserable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang and I are even more miserable than you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ling and Zhang were covered in sweat: \"No need to mention that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Misery is something that comes from comparison; it is for the fans and onlookers to see.\" Qi Hui continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, everyone has a partner, but you don't, so aren't you miserable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, everyone is sweet and in pairs, but you are all alone, aren't you miserable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Makes sense...\" Old Ling’s eyes brightened slightly, and he kept taking notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And being calm is for the other side to see; it is used to stimulate the other side.\" Qi Hui said: \"You eat and drink as normal, letting her see that her absence has no impact on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or, you can openly accept a media interview and calmly say: 'It’s just a bit of wind and frost, that’s all.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the time comes, you won't need to say much; the media will go to her to ask, to stir the pot, and she won't be able to hide even if she wants to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as she speaks, she will make a mistake, whether it's the truth or a lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brilliant!\" Old Ling slapped his thigh: \"Two steps down, is there more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\" Qi Hui said: \"The third step is, of course, to leak the truth, exposing her true colors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter cannot be done by you; you need to find someone who has absolutely no connection to the whole thing, preferably someone from her film crew; that would be persuasive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui remembered that before the transmigration, Liu Ye had exposed this matter in a program or interview, and it was a slip of the tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And some time ago, Liu Ye and Yao Chen were filming the movie *Color Me Love*, and Cao Yu was the cinematographer for that film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good method!\" Old Ling rubbed his hands: \"Within three steps... either make her stink to high heaven, or make her reveal her true form!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, absolutely right!\" Qi Hui clapped his hands and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1621,"2026-06-21T03:10:06.472Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f19acc6e555eac44e47af3e099a04d4d21a895323913208d2db3dd81988ec051","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-70","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-68",202,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-cover.jpg"]
