Chapter 87: Processing Plan

Zhou Ping's blood pressure rose. This Li Qiang was full of lies and simply had no bottom line.

"Shang Yiran is a degenerate. Besides my daughter, there must be other children who have been harmed. Even for the sake of other children, I will not retreat or compromise..."

Li Qiang was still high-sounding and eloquent.

And Shang Yiran, who was beside Zhou Ping, couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to snatch the phone: "Li Qiang, without evidence, even if you go to court, the judge will not sentence me to be guilty. Don't you want money? Then I will make you get not a single cent!"

"Heh, Shang Yiran, you really don't see the coffin and don't shed tears."

Li Qiang's gloomy voice was full of threats: "Then just wait and see if I will sue you until you are bankrupt and ruined!"

He cut off the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

Shang Yiran listened to the blind tone in the receiver, and his knuckles holding the phone were slightly white because of force.

"Bastard!"

"Yiran, calm down. Why bother with him? The top priority is to quickly find a way to minimize the impact of this matter."

"If he wants to go to court, I will go with him. I haven't done those things. I believe the court will give me justice."

Shang Yiran didn't expect that he would do charity with good intentions, but he was blackmailed by a shameless villain like Zhou Qiang, and he had the idea of being heartbroken and breaking the jar. m.

"My ancestor, you should stop for a while. I tell you, you must not talk nonsense on the Internet during this time, and everything follows the arrangements of me and the company."

Early the next morning, many fans holding banners gathered outside the headquarters of Tian Feng Entertainment.

These fans were not old, most of them were little girls in their twenties.

The content on the banners was slogans such as "Shang Yiran is innocent", "We believe in Shang Yiran", and "Always support Shang Yiran".

There were even some extreme little girls holding banners like "Rumor mongers die for the whole family", shouting slogans in their mouths: "Garbage company, return Shang Yiran's innocence!"

Obviously, they were quite dissatisfied with Tian Feng Entertainment's handling method of letting the news ferment without doing anything, and tried to force the company's senior management to pay attention by demonstrating at the door to seek justice for Shang Yiran.

Of course, the demonstrations and shouts of these fans also attracted the attention of reporters from various media. When Xu Tian got out of the car, he saw a serious-looking female reporter reporting on the protest scene.

"Currently, the victim's parents have entrusted a lawyer to formally file a lawsuit with the court. We must believe that the law will eventually give a fair verdict and bring the perpetrator to justice..."

Passersby saw the fans' demonstrations and stopped to point at those little girls.

"It's really a decline in public morals, anyone can have brain-dead fans."

"Those entertainment stars are just actors in ancient times, how can there be any good things?"

"Isn't it? Standing on the stage and moving your lips, you can earn millions a day, and it's still us ordinary people who suffer."

"I think that Shang Yiran is a pervert. Otherwise, why doesn't he do so many charity projects, but only sponsors underage girls in poor school districts?"

"I estimate that there are more than just the Li family's girl who is a victim. The schoolgirls in the school that accepts sponsorship should all be questioned."

"Some families choose to settle things. If it weren't for the Li family taking the initiative to stand up this time, we would all be kept in the dark. It's not certain how many children will be persecuted by that pervert later."

These passersby talked about the gossip with relish, clearly just hearsay news, but it was as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

Xu Tian also saw a reporter who was as thin as a bamboo pole with a band-aid on his forehead leaning toward those female fans with bad intentions, holding a camera and microphone to throw one sharp question after another at those fans.

The fans were not deeply involved in the world and thought that the reporter could return justice to their idol, and they all expressed that Shang Yiran was wronged and hoped that relevant departments would thoroughly investigate.

However, they didn't know that these words of theirs would only be labeled with eye-catching labels such as "indiscriminate" and "brain-dead" by reporters with ulterior motives.

At the same time, in the top-floor conference room of Tian Feng Entertainment, the personnel participating in the meeting had solemn expressions.

"Now this news occupies the headlines of the social and entertainment sections, making a lot of noise. Every day someone runs to the company building to make trouble and demonstrate. We have also received hundreds of complaints. Can your public relations department really come up with a reasonable solution?"

Guo Qishan, the executive president of Tian Feng Entertainment, slapped the table hard and roared at the senior executives attending the meeting:

"Usually, aren't you all quite eloquent? Why have you all become mutes now? If you can't come up with a solution today, don't even think about the year-end bonuses for those of you in charge!"

Facing Guo Qishan's scolding, the heads of various departments didn't even dare to breathe.

After Guo Qishan finished his temper, he looked at the lawyer sitting on his left hand and asked: "Lawyer Song, if we really want to go to court with them, what are our chances of winning?"

"This..."

Lawyer Song wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a solemn expression:

"Although there is no substantial evidence in court, current public opinion is sympathizing with the victim and accusing and condemning Shang Yiran. The court will also take into account the influence of public opinion and will not easily close the case. The longer the case trial process drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us in terms of public opinion..."

Guo Qishan's face became even uglier when he heard this.

That is to say, as long as the court does not close the case, there is no way to prove Shang Yiran's innocence.

And during this period, the commercial value that Shang Yiran had finally accumulated would be destroyed, and it would also affect the reputation of the entire company.

Now is the rising period of Shang Yiran's career. This news is equivalent to sentencing his future acting path to death. It is impossible for any brand to cooperate with him again, and his albums and concerts will also be comprehensively boycotted.

"How long does the entire case trial process take at the fastest?" Guo Qishan took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

"At the fastest, it will take one or two years. If the victim's family continues to appeal, it might drag on even longer."

After hearing Lawyer Song's words, not only Guo Qishan, but even the other senior executives present gasped.

It takes one or two years. Even if Shang Yiran clears the charge of molesting a minor in the end, his popularity and status cannot be unaffected like now. Even during the time of the lawsuit, the company has to spend more energy to clean up for him.

"Is there any way to minimize the losses?" After a while, Guo Qishan looked at Lawyer Song and asked.

Lawyer Song pushed his glasses and said hesitantly: "Actually, there is. I suggest the company reach an out-of-court settlement with the victim and let them withdraw the lawsuit. This can minimize the company's losses." ===== CHAPTER 88 =====
