Chapter 242: The Upcoming Trial

"It's useless; news pushed to the entire internet can't be deleted at all." Yan Hongyu's expression was grave.

The entertainment industry today is not the era of a decade ago ruled by print media, where negative news could be easily removed.

As long as a post is made and a few photos are uploaded, Huang Mengyao's dirt will be spread clearly; there is no possibility of clearing her name.

The guests who came to the awards ceremony had clearly also received the news and were discussing Huang Mengyao heatedly.

"I didn't expect Huang Mengyao to be this kind of person..."

"Before, when Wang Manshan had scandals, the media always used Huang Mengyao to step on her; now it seems Wang Manshan is the most innocent one, right?"

"Exactly. She just changes boyfriends a bit fast, but every relationship was upright; she didn't cheat or break up other people's families, unlike Huang Mengyao, who has the image of a pure goddess on the surface but is actually a slut who seduces other people's husbands."

"Playing night mahjong with seven men in one week, doesn't she have to work?"

"The Giant Star Media she belongs to has been going downhill since the former president stepped down and there were large-scale personnel changes; the whole company is a mess. If this continues, the status of this veteran entertainment company will be completely replaced by Tian Feng Entertainment."

Huang Mengyao climbed up from the ground, her head lowered, not daring to face the gossiping or contemptuous gazes around her.

"President Xu, you must save me. Have the PR department come forward to delete those messages now. As long as you can suppress this negative news, I'm willing to renew my contract with the company for a few more years!"

"Renew?"

Xu Miaoyin sneered, her tone mocking: "Huang Mengyao, do you think you still have the value to renew?"

With a scandal that touches the law like this, let alone PR, even their company would be implicated.

The comment in the crowd about "Giant Star Media" becoming a mess after changing presidents stung Yan Hongyu's fragile self-esteem, making him feel as if he'd been poked in the lungs, and he scolded irritably:

"Enough, we'll talk about this when we get back to the company! Do you still want outsiders to make a joke of us?"

After saying this, he pulled Xu Miaoyin and walked out of the venue.

When Xu Miaoyin passed Xu Tian, her footsteps paused slightly, and her probing gaze lingered on him for a moment; seeming to think of something, her expression became even uglier.

Everything that happened tonight had been predicted by him.

Whether it was Wang Manshan's Best Female Singer award or Huang Mengyao's bad luck, not one failed to come true.

How could this be?

She didn't believe anyone could truly foresee the future.

This must be premeditated!

Someone was setting her up!

She'd better not find out who it was, otherwise, she, Xu Miaoyin, would make that person know the consequences of blocking her path!

"Xu Tian, I didn't expect you to actually know how to read fortunes?"

Shang Yiran stared at Xu Tian for a long time, then poked him with his arm: "Brother, can you read mine?"

"Your career is currently in a rising period, with constant announcements; there's no need to read it at all."

Xu Tian looked speechlessly at Shang Yiran, who wanted to join in the fun.

"Since the career is set, then of course I have to check on love. When do you think I can get a girlfriend?" Shang Yiran asked curiously.

"Uh... a girlfriend?" Xu Tian looked at him with a strange expression.

"Is there a problem?" Shang Yiran asked somewhat nervously.

Xu Tian feigned a careful examination of Shang Yiran's face for a while.

"I don't see one for now."

"How can you not see one?"

Shang Yiran leaned his face closer: "Why don't you take a closer look?"

"Well, actually, I can't calculate it."

Xu Tian explained: "My cultivation isn't enough; I can only see career luck."

He could say something about any star in the entertainment industry who had a bit of a name, but Shang Yiran was different from them.

His future could be said to have been rewritten by Xu Tian himself; of course, he didn't know what encounters someone who had been changed would have in the future.

"Little handsome guy, you don't know how to read love luck?"

Wang Manshan was somewhat disappointed: "I originally wanted you to take a look!"

"Sister Manshan, someone like you who never lacks boyfriends doesn't need to look even more." Xu Tian spread his hands helplessly.

"Well, what you said makes sense, but actually, I do lack a boyfriend."

She looked at Xu Tian with some disappointment: "I lack the one who makes my heart beat the fastest."

Xu Tian truly hit her aesthetic standards perfectly, but it was a pity he already had a girlfriend.

"How about you give your sister a call when you're heartbroken?"

Xu Tian smiled: "That day will never come."

"Alright, for the celebration banquet later, you two should both take your sister's car!"

Fortunately, Wang Manshan wasn't someone who would dwell on romantic affairs forever, nor would she use underhanded means to steal someone else's love because of Xu Tian's rejection, so she quickly threw what she had just said to the back of her mind.

"Celebration banquet?"

Xu Tian was stunned: "Then I have to discuss it with my girlfriend."

"I didn't expect you to be henpecked?"

Wang Manshan laughed: "Why, you're such a big person, and you still have a curfew?"

"Of course I do."

For some reason, Wang Manshan felt she actually heard a hint of pride in Xu Tian's tone.

Shang Yiran looked at Xu Tian with a rather complex expression upon hearing this.

Sigh!

A foolish man who knows his wife cheated on him but still only has his wife in his heart!

Subsequently, Xu Tian called Tang Bingyan to say he was attending the company's celebration banquet that night.

Tang Bingyan didn't say anything, only urging him not to drink.

Xu Tian wasn't the protagonist at the celebration banquet; after arriving at the bar, he found an opportunity to toast Wang Manshan, said some congratulatory words, and left first.

For the next few days, besides handling announcements with Murong Xue and arranging the upcoming work plan for Nie Jingjing, Xu Tian spent his time taking combat classes with Bai Lu and the others in the manor.

Xu Tian felt that one-on-one was a bit of a waste of time, so he picked another young man from the first squad of the Dark Guards to take classes with them.

This young man was the youngest in the Dark Guard team, only sixteen years old this year.

Perhaps because of late development, his height hadn't reached 1.7 meters, and he was always called "Little Bean Sprout" by the other Dark Guards.

Xu Tian had only taken one combat class himself, and he had inexplicably become the teacher for Bai Lu and Little Bean Sprout; he himself was very unaccustomed to it.

But since they felt he could do it, Xu Tian could only pull himself together and attend classes on time.

Even if he couldn't teach much, at least he could act as their sparring partner.

Half a month later, in the small conference room of the mountain villa.

Chen Xiaoxiao sat in the main seat with a grave expression, while in front of her sat the captains of each Dark Guard team.

"Commander, the time for the trial is almost here. This time you must beat that reckless Bai Lu to a pulp!" a certain team captain said indignantly.

"Exactly, I feel nauseous just looking at his smug and forgetful appearance!" ===== CHAPTER 243 =====
