Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Does your hand hurt?

Ye Zhenzhen continued, "He did indeed cancel his account, but he registered a troll account and is now in my live stream, ID is ’Chu Xue.’

’You, as my troll, needn’t hide anymore. No matter how you cancel your accounts, I will find you. You must give an explanation for your malicious slander and personal attacks against me."

This ID, it was clear at a glance, belonged to yet another fan of Han Jiangxue.

Based on her past experiences, Ye Zhenzhen guessed that this person maliciously targeting her was definitely not just some ordinary troll.

This person was too sensitive to trending news, and they also acted very quickly, obviously the organized type.

Behind this ID might be a team, specifically hired by Han Jiangxue to maliciously attack her.

Soon, the microblog of this troll, known as ’Chu Xue,’ was besieged by Ye Zhenzhen’s fans.

The reason for the siege was simple: the troll’s words were truly vile. Some spectators captured screenshots in the morning and now they were being shared.

Other trolls might stop at mocking Ye Zhenzhen for marrying an old man, but this troll hurled almost daily abuse on Weibo, spewing filthy language about her being unsatisfied and whatnot.

Whenever there was even the slightest rumor about Ye Zhenzhen, this troll would start claiming that she was neglected by her husband, that the old man couldn’t satisfy Ye Jianjian, and that led to her...

At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen was unaware that the troll she mentioned was already being assaulted by the crowd. She had said all she needed to say tonight, and now she could end the live stream.

She still had many things left to do.

The live stream ended.

Sighs of relief filled the room; the tense and exciting live stream was finally over.

Chen Ke poured a glass of water and brought it to Ye Zhenzhen, smiling, "Zhenzhen, did you hire a team yourself?"

Ye Zhenzhen stood up, took the water offered by Chen Ke, and with an air of nonchalance, replied, "Director Chen, are you underestimating me, or do you lack confidence in YG Entertainment?"

Chen Ke: ...

He always felt that Ye Zhenzhen’s way of speaking had changed.

Although Ye Zhenzhen’s words didn’t sound very nice, looking at her now, Chen Ke felt that they were quite fitting with her current actions.

Chen Ke continued awkwardly, "Zhenzhen, I don’t mean anything by it. I’m just afraid that you might have some misunderstanding about YG. If you have any thoughts, feel free to bring them up to me. If I can’t handle it, I’ll apply to the big boss. We’ll put your interests first."

Chen Ke asked and said so because the live stream had let him witness the strengths of Ye Zhenzhen, whether her own or those of the people behind her, something he had never seen before.

From time to time, the company had artists who were attacked, but who had ever seen an artist able to freely control video from other venues and track down the troll’s address and ID...

This kind of thing was definitely not something an ordinary person could accomplish.

Moreover, looking back at today’s live stream, Ye Zhenzhen’s presentation was organized and clear, every word and sentence spot on. She clarified the rumors about her and even established a persona for herself.

And all for just 170,000!

Thinking of this, Chen Ke suddenly realized that they had previously spent quite a lot to clear an artist’s reputation by getting famous bloggers and reporters to post stories.

Sometimes, even after spending money, success wasn’t guaranteed.

But Ye Zhenzhen had been very successful tonight!

Remembering this, Chen Ke had just been concerned about the 170,000 Ye Zhenzhen had spent, but now he instantly felt it was worth it, absolutely worth it.

Ye Zhenzhen, observing Chen Ke standing there stunned, simply acknowledged with an "Mm."

Then she picked up her coat, put it on, and said to everyone, "The dinner earlier was too rushed. Let’s find a place for a proper dinner, my treat. I want to thank everyone for their help tonight."

Chen Ke snapped back to reality, "Hey! Wait, Zhenzhen, let me treat you to dinner, I’ll pay!"

"And Zhenzhen, about that 170,000 you just spent, the company will reimburse you. You shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket, you’re an artist with the company, and now that you’ve become so popular, the company should cover your public relations expenses."

It wasn’t about covering expenses, it was Ye Zhenzhen’s way of saving the company a fortune in public relations and publicity costs.

And it even saved the planning stage.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Alright, then I’ll thank Director Chen in advance for the reimbursement."

Since Chen Ke had said it was a company matter, there was naturally no need for her to contradict Director Chen in front of everyone at the company.

Liu Rui had been watching Ye Zhenzhen’s every move, and she really liked the Ye Zhenzhen of these past two days, who carried an air of grace and efficiency in her demeanor.

Especially during the live broadcast just now, she never expected Ye Zhenzhen to actually turn haters into her fans. That line of thinking was truly something even she, as an agent, had to admire.

Also, the public relations team and the assistant stated they were full from dinner and didn’t need an evening meal, so after a discussion, everyone decided to skip dinner, pack up the equipment, and head back to the office to go home.

Before leaving, Ye Zhenzhen pulled Liu Rui aside to speak privately.

Liu Rui asked, "What’s up, Zhenzhen?"

Ye Zhenzhen smiled lightly, "The document I gave you on Saturday, about Wu Yuerou."

"What about it?"

Wu Yuerou’s husband had an affair, switching between four different models over the course of a week...

"In the next few days, release some rumors, and then after a few days when the buzz around me has died down, get an entertainment journalist to reveal more, little by little."

Ye Zhenzhen thought, if Wu Yuerou dared to concoct such slanderous stories about her, she certainly couldn’t let her get away with it.

So-called death by a thousand cuts. Wu Yuerou has always flaunted her husband’s influence, but Ye Zhenzhen wanted to see how Wu Yuerou would swagger around in the industry after her station head husband falls from grace.

Liu Rui nodded, "Okay, I know what to do."

...

Ye Zhenzhen left the club, and her driver’s car was already at the door.

After getting into the backseat, Ye Zhenzhen’s delicate face tensed for a moment. The man sitting in the back was staring at her with a pair of profound and narrow eyes, "Quite clever."

The man’s voice was light, tinged with a touch of teasing humor.

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t know the origin of the man’s comment and couldn’t be bothered to chat. She simply asked, "What are you doing here?"

This was the car she had taken when she left earlier.

The driver, timing his response perfectly, answered, "Madam, the sir came specially to pick you up."

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

She leaned towards the car window, her suspicious gaze sweeping over the man’s handsome face. This just didn’t seem real.

Song Jinze’s lips curved into a faint smile, his narrow eyes lightly glancing at the woman’s hand, "Does your hand hurt?"

Ye Zhenzhen frowned, "It’s been several days since I came back from the hospital, and you’re only asking about my hand now?"

"I’m asking, does the hand you hit someone with hurt?"

Ye Zhenzhen: ...
