The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 522 - 522 493 Verbal Duel

522: Chapter 493: Verbal Duel 522: Chapter 493: Verbal Duel “Dang dang dang…

dang dang dang…” As the live music began to play, the camera zoomed in on Ren Qinyin’s charming face.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to ‘Face to Face with Celebrities.’ I am your host, Ren Qinyin.” Ren Qinyin said, and with a slight turn of her body, she turned to another camera with a smile, “Today, my show has invited two heavyweight guests, Mr.

Liu Wencheng, the chief editor of ‘All Entertainment’ magazine, and Mr.

Huang Jin, the chief editor of ‘The Gossip’ magazine.

Welcome to both of you.”

“Hello host, and hi to all the viewers in front of the TV,” the two guests greeted the host and audience in turn.

“Both of you are heavyweights in the entertainment industry and have witnessed and participated in many important events.

For example!

This recent scandal of Xu Moyu’s unspoken rules, what are your views on this, Editor Liu?” Ren Qinyin quickly turned to Liu Wencheng with her question.

Liu Wencheng placed his hands on his thighs and said, “Unspoken rules imply something that can’t be openly discussed, but this time Xu Moyu burst it wide open, making it something everyone can talk about.

If you ask me what I think, I’d say there’s no need for such shock.

Then some people might ask, isn’t a scandal involving public figures and unspoken rules significant enough?

My answer to them is that this sort of thing was already being done by big names before the paper screen was pierced—big shots!

Xu Moyu was just unlucky, caught in the line of fire!”

Gao Yelan sensed something off about Liu Wencheng’s tone; he was clearly paving the way to absolve Xu Moyu and smear Lin Xiaoxiang and Shi Qing’er.

She immediately told Wang Dongsheng next to her, “Quickly tell Ren Qinyin to change the subject!”

Heeding the instructions from Wang Dongsheng, Ren Qinyin found an opening and said, “Thank you Editor Liu for expressing your opinion, and now we’d like to hear Editor Huang’s thoughts.”

When Ren Qinyin deftly interrupted his monologue, Liu Wencheng didn’t feel uncomfortable.

Having come to the enemy’s turf for the show, of course, he was well-prepared.

This was just the prelude; the main part was yet to come.

Liu Hun hadn’t appeared yet, so he wasn’t in a hurry.

Huang Jin, with his plump and round face, smiled harmlessly at Ren Qinyin, answering, “My view is similar to Editor Liu’s.

Actually, our ancestors had a saying: Oranges grown in the south become oranges, while those grown in the north become trifoliate.

So, one cannot entirely blame Xu Moyu; after all, she’s just an artist, a woman.

It’s really the larger environment, the bad backdrop, since there were already people who were photographed doing bad things!

And they were important figures.

Why didn’t the media pursue them?!

Is it because they disappeared?!

Or they were not caught red-handed, but weren’t they already ‘caught’ if they were photographed?!

This is clearly media bias.

So!

I firmly believe that discussing Xu Moyu’s case cannot be isolated; we must talk about the earlier incidents as well.”

Ren Qinyin, following Wang Dongsheng’s cue, asked Huang Jin, “Editor Huang, what are these earlier incidents you mentioned?”

Huang Jin chuckled, not expecting Ren Qinyin to walk right into the line of fire, and said, “Previously, at a five-star hotel, Imperial City Entertainment’s president and the famous actress Shi Qing’er were photographed by media reporters, each being hugged by two men heading toward the elevator.

I believe everyone can guess what would happen next; no need for me to elaborate.

If the photographer had rushed forward that day, the unspoken rule scandal would have been exposed a few days earlier!

So, I have repeatedly said that Xu Moyu was just unlucky, taking the fall for the entire entertainment industry.”

“May I ask Editor Huang, how can one infer what happened afterward from just one photo?

Wouldn’t that compromise the objectivity of the media?” Ren Qinyin continued to inquire.

Liu Wencheng took the opportunity to respond, “We are only making reasonable conjectures.

Given such a scenario, such things could happen.

We have seen the photos—that is objectivity.

If photos are not objective, what else is?”

Liu Wencheng’s words made sense.

“So was what occurred that day exactly as depicted in the pictures, or is there more to the story?

Next, we have Ms.

Shi Qing’er’s agent, Liu Hun!

Agent Liu!

Please come on in!” Ren Qinyin said as she stood to welcome Liu Hun.

Liu Hun greeted the three people present with courteous nods and then took a seat on the sofa.

“Hello host, and hello to all the viewers in front of the TV, I am Liu Hun,” Liu Hun said as he settled onto the sofa.

Upon seeing the principal figure arrive, Liu Wencheng and Huang Jin were instantly energized, ready to engage in a good debate with Liu Hun.

“Agent Liu, welcome to our show.

What is your take on the Xu Moyu incident?” Ren Qinyin asked Liu Hun.

Liu Hun answered with a serious face, “The Xu Moyu incident is an isolated moral case.

I think it’s quite far-fetched to elevate this to an industry-wide issue.

It is frankly a bit ridiculous and completely shameless on the part of some unscrupulous media.

Can we claim that a whole orchard is bad just because one apple is rotten?

Obviously not.

By the same token, we can’t say that one person’s actions reflect the entire entertainment industry.

As everyone knows, Xu Moyu has done many detestable things in the past, and her personal character is seriously in doubt.

How could such a person represent the entire entertainment industry?”

“Nonsense!

Complete nonsense!

Liu Hun!

You’re simply spouting nonsense!

Xu Moyu indeed made mistakes in the past, but who hasn’t made mistakes?

Why harp on the fact that she offended Shi Bi’er before?

Why can’t people be more forgiving?” Liu Wencheng suddenly challenged Liu Hun, framing Xu Moyu as an innocent victim in just a few words, painting Liu Hun as narrow-minded instead.

“Oh!

Is it really as Editor-in-chief Liu said?

I’d like to ask Editor-in-chief Liu a question, has Xu Moyu come of age?” Liu Hun asked Liu Wencheng.

“She’s of age!” Liu Wencheng didn’t think this was a question worth considering.

“Since she’s of age, shouldn’t she be responsible for her behavior?!” Liu Hun continued to ask.

Liu Wencheng suddenly showed a look of sorrowful indignation, his acting nearly rivaling that of an Oscar-winning actor, as he questioned Liu Hun, “Such an innocent girl, who only made a tiny mistake, yet is incessantly pursued by a so-called omnipotent agent!

Has Agent Liu no compassion at all?”

Liu Hun said nothing but snapped his fingers.

The big screen behind him immediately started playing footage from the Golden Melody Awards’ decade celebration, showing Xu Moyu’s arrogant and domineering behavior.

Liu Hun asked Liu Wencheng, “Editor-in-chief Liu, if you define this as an innocent girl’s small mistake, then I wonder what would be considered a non-innocent mistake?!

And another thing…” Liu Hun snapped his fingers again, and the screen switched to the video Tian Mafeng filmed of Xu Moyu blushing shyly as she entered the elevator in Duan Zheng’s arms, “I’d like to ask again, Editor-in-chief Liu, have you ever seen any ‘little girl’ with such a flirtatiously joyful expression in a man’s arms?!

Furthermore, as a celebrity and public figure committing such acts, tarnishing social and industry morals, to date she nor her entertainment company, Tianhua Group, has stepped forward to apologize to the public.

Instead, Editor-in-chief Liu is here adamantly claiming that I, Liu, am fixating on minor mistakes.

Do you think this is appropriate?”

“That’s brilliant, Agent Liu!

No no no, Chairman Liu!

You’re truly my idol!

Look, that guy Liu’s face is turning the color of liver!

So satisfying!” Wang Dongsheng couldn’t help but exclaim in front of the camera.

Even Gao Yelan, who had been somewhat worried about Liu Hun, was relieved.

She had not expected Liu Hun to be so eloquent and well-prepared.

“Director Gao, Director Wang, our program has already surpassed the second place by five points and it’s still climbing!” The assistant director excitedly told the two.

Meanwhile, television viewers nationwide who were following the program began to discuss.

“Wow!

Oh my goodness!

At the start, when Mr.

Liu was talking, I actually felt sorry for Xu Moyu, but now, looking at the big screen, she clearly looks willing to sell herself!

What’s there to feel sorry for?!”

“These gossip magazine editors rely on their mouths and pens to spout nonsense every day, turning the dead into the living.

Anyone who listens to them is cursing themselves.

I disliked Xu Moyu at the Golden Melody Awards, and now, as a celebrity, she shamelessly sleeps with people!

It’s polluting my eyes; I don’t want to see her anymore!”

“I couldn’t agree more!

Liu Hun is absolutely right!

A public figure tarnishing the morals of the industry and society, not only does she not apologize, but she arranges for editors to whitewash her on TV.

Being caught red-handed, no amount of talking can cleanse her of this!”

“…”

Liu Wencheng had not anticipated Liu Hun to be such a good speaker, let alone that he had everything prepared,

including the video of Xu Moyu cuddling in Duan Zheng’s arms, which he had never seen before.

Liu Wencheng was left speechless, his face burning with embarrassment as Liu Hun presented a plethora of evidence, no longer daring to speak of little girls, minor mistakes, and fixating.

Seeing Liu Wencheng playing the sympathy card to no avail, and even allowing Liu Hun the opportunity to further tarnish Xu Moyu, Huang Jin quickly interjected, “I personally find Agent Liu’s words to be correct!

I wholeheartedly agree!

And since Agent Liu has set an example and posed consecutive questions, I, Huang Jin, would also like to ask Agent Liu a question!”

Liu Hun said calmly, “Editor Huang, feel free to ask any questions.”

Huang Jin smirked inwardly, pulled out the photos he had taken of Lin Xiaoxiang and Shi Qing’er, and displayed them before asking Liu Hun, “Agent Liu, could you please explain, what exactly is going on here?”

Before Liu Hun could answer, Huang Jin added, “If Agent Liu is going to say something like, ‘I don’t know, they can’t be contacted right now,’ or anything similar, then don’t blame us in the media for making appropriate and reasonable inferences!”
