Chapter 398: From Making A Mistake To Apologizing Was Only Half An Hour
Zachary was the director borrowed by Shanghai TV Station to direct the filming of the variety show, since Luo Feng had already decided to show no mercy, he definitely had to go over and greet him personally. Director Zuo had always taken good care of him after all.
With Zhu Bai as a witness, Luo Feng drove to the Shanghai TV station building.
Meanwhile, Yang Tianzhen contacted the public relations team and the lawyer, preparing to retaliate.
As the two sides were fighting back, the public opinion on the Internet had already reached a white-hot stage.
It was probably because the students of Tang Jin Union School had clarified the rumors one by one and revealed the evidence. Kou Zhiyuan bought more ghostwriters to control the comments and suppress all the clarifications.
The number of pa.s.sersby and netizens who were watching the commotion also increased. The discussion fell into the most lively peak!
Zach used his account to make a statement at the right time.
[It"s true that I was removed from the production team of "Idol Cultivation". I"ve never met such a rude and unreasonable partner over my decade of directorship. I"m very grateful to the entertainment reporters for not fearing power and speaking up for justice. They a.n.a.lyzed the truth for the audience. I just want to say that good and evil will eventually be rewarded.]
The moment this news was released, it instantly ignited the trending searches! It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over hot oil. The netizens were in an uproar!
"The program director has personally appeared. Looks like it"s all true!"
"In our society, we"ll more or less save some face. I wonder how much the production team has gone overboard to make Director Zachary say such harsh words."
"It"s been a long time since I"ve seen a living fight. Hahahaha, let"s fight, let"s fight!"
"Everyone, Director Zachary"s work has won an international award and brought honor to our countrymen. It"s really disappointing to be bullied by our compatriots!"
Lightsvel.cοm "How long is "Idol Cultivation" keep quiet? Don"t think that you can just keep quiet!"
"To think that I supported your show so much and even farmed gifts for the live-stream! Refund! Refund!"
It was unknown if it was intentional or if everyone"s anger was too similar, but the topic of "Idol Cultivation" quickly rushed to the top of the trending searches.
It was filled with angry audience members who were all attacking the production team.
Zachary saw the netizens mocking and ridiculing him under the topic and laughed until he slapped his thigh. In the past, he only felt that the audience"s standards were poor and couldn"t appreciate his profound art. Now, it seemed that his literary talent wasn"t bad. At least, he didn"t repeat himself when scolding others.
"Hahaha, Luo Feng, let"s see how you"re going to make a comeback this time!" Zachary scolded into his phone.
The third episode of the program had just been broadcasted, but the popularity of the audience had already collapsed. Even if they played any tricks in the future, they would not be able to turn the situation around. "Idol Cultivation" was destined to go through the core of the planet!
In his happiness, Zachary thought of Kou Zhiyuan again. In view of his previous unreliable actions, Zachary specially sent a greeting message. "Did that undercover player of yours get away in time?"
"Just a little bit more. She haven"t sent me the new scandal yet," Kou Zhiyuan replied. "But you don"t have to worry. That girl is very smart. She knows what to say and what not to say."
Zachary was just going through the motions and wasn"t really concerned.
At this moment, his phone vibrated again.
"Come to my office."
The content of the message was short and precise, but Zachary"s heart suddenly tightened— It was from Director Zuo.
He thought that it made sense.
After he left, he was too embarra.s.sed to take the initiative to report back to the station. He hid in the house and didn"t go anywhere. The matter had already blown up even though he was there just in name. He really had to go back and give an explanation.
As Zachary put on his clothes, he thought about what he should say later. At the same time, he wanted to apply for a vacation overseas to temporarily stay away from all these troubles.
At the thought of this, Zachary"s mind was only filled with the yacht and the beauty in the swimsuit.
He put on his sungla.s.ses and cap and took a taxi to the Shanghai TV station building.
At this moment, the downstairs was already surrounded by reporters holding microphones. Seven or eight security guards held hands and formed a human wall, barely blocking these people outside the door. The security captain was using a loudspeaker to persuade everyone to leave. No one was sure. All eyes were fixed on the door.
Zachary smiled smugly, knowing that these people were here to interview him.
He pressed down his hat and ran in from the side door. He walked to the left director"s office with ease.
In order to make the act more realistic, Zachary ruffled his hair before knocking on the door.
Knock, knock-
There were two knocks on the door, but there was no greeting. The door came from inside.
Upon seeing the face of the person who opened the door, Zachary felt like he had been hit in the head. His first reaction was to turn around and leave.
Luo Feng gave a fake smile. "The Director is here. Director Zuo has been waiting for you for a long time."
Zachary"s mind buzzed, and he instantly short-circuited.
He had only posted his article for less than 10 minutes, so why was Luo Feng already in the director"s office? He glanced at the half-empty tea on the table and knew that the two of them had definitely been chatting for a while.
Then, he looked at the girl in the uniform of the "Idol Cultivation" contestant by the wall. The number 49 stung Zachary"s eyes. He immediately knew the girl"s ident.i.ty.
Kou Zhiyuan, that unreliable person, did not know that his undercover agent had been caught!
There was only one thought in Zachary"s mind—his house had been stolen. It was over!
Luo Feng actually reached out to Director Zuo! He didn"t even have a chance to quibble!
Zachary walked stiffly to the left desk and gulped. "Director… Director, why are you looking for me?"
The director was expressionless. He raised his hand and threw the recording pen in front of Zachary. "Listen to this. Look what you"ve done!"
There was a hint of anger in his words because Luo Feng was present and he didn"t flare up. Looking at Zachary lowering his head and not saying a word, he looked like a young kid who had made a mistake. Director Zuo was instantly furious.
Walking around the desk, the director walked up to Zachary. "Back then, I saw that you were capable, so I recommended you to Director Luo. I didn"t expect you to do such an embarra.s.sing thing!"
"In order to save your face, Chairman Luo didn"t say anything and quietly changed Directors. But what about you? You even colluded with others to make a fake statement. You saw so many reporters downstairs, right? Let"s see what else you have to say!"
This time, Zachary was the one who led the way.
Originally, both sides were peaceful, but he insisted on venting his anger. Not only did he drag the entire television station down, but he also fooled the audience.
"Director… Director, I was just confused! I…"
Zachary still wanted to defend himself, but he was interrupted by the director on the left. "It"s useless to tell me. Go tell Director Luo and the reporters below!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked to the window. It was obvious that he did not want to hear a word.
Zachary turned around and looked at Luo Feng, who was leisurely sipping tea on the sofa. He immediately gave in. He walked over and squatted down. "Boss Luo, I was bewitched by someone and became muddle-headed for a moment. You"re a big shot, so please forgive me. I beg you."
