Chapter 52 Help You 2
The streetlights had already been turned on for the night.
The light rain that started yesterday morning and only stopped recently left a thin layer of water on some sections of Hengdian. Under the illumination of the streetlights, this layer of water refracted and reflected arcs of light, and when people passed over it, the arcs of light disappeared.
Not far from here, the sounds of film crew members wrapping up work could be heard.
The car door was opened.
A woman in a long dress got into the car first, followed by another figure. The car started, turned around, and drove over the puddle to move forward.
in the car.
The woman who had just boarded the bus took out her phone and made a call.
As soon as the call connected, she said angrily, "What on earth happened to you? Do you know how much this will affect you? Don't you want to be an actress anymore?! Listen carefully, only your wife can save you now. Have her hold a press conference with you to clarify things. You figure out what to say."
"I came back from work this afternoon, and she took him away. I can't find her now."
A man's frustrated voice came through the phone.
"Then let's find it."
The woman's breath.
"I know, I know."
The man quickly responded twice.
The two chatted for a few more minutes before the woman hung up the phone. A middle-aged woman sitting next to her looked hesitant. When the woman turned to look at her, Zhang Xiaohua hesitated for a moment before saying, "I advise you to break up with him..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaohua saw Lin Wan's eyes turn cold, and she couldn't say anything more.
The van became unusually quiet.
After a while, Lin Wan's surprised and doubtful voice rang out: "Do you think Huang Min might have hired someone to film this!?"
"No, as far as I know."
Zhang Xiaohua replied, "The person who took the photo of Wang Zhi hitting Zhang Li was a female reporter named Gan Li."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything more. She had heard that this female reporter had become famous in the journalism circle by taking photos of Wang Zhi abusing Zhang Li. As for Huang Min finding a reporter... it was obviously Lin Wan's overthinking.
Let's set aside whether any reporters are willing to listen to Huang Min.
Even after hearing about it, Zhang Xiaohua realized that Wang Zhi slapping Zhang Li was not something that could have been arranged. For some reason, after learning about this early this morning, she felt a sense of dread.
"How did he react?!"
Lin Wan asked again.
"I've been filming on set the whole time."
Zhang Xiaohua replied.
If Lin Wan continues down this path, trouble is bound to happen sooner or later. But if something can be filmed once, it can be filmed again. Especially since she's determined to drive Huang Min to the brink of extinction. Huang Min is helpless now, but once he rises up, judging from the successive interviews with reporters, his personality has changed drastically. He's no longer the kind, easygoing person he used to be.
They will definitely retaliate when the time comes.
However, Zhang Xiaohua dared not say such things in front of Lin Wan, and only hoped that Huang Min would never get up again in his life.
The light rain that had been falling all day made the night feel unreal. As the car approached Sanshui Residential Area, Lin Wan asked, "Is there any way to salvage Wang Zhi's situation?"
"You've already come up with a solution for him."
Zhang Xiaohua replied, "He only has this one path left now. First, he needs to get Zhang Li to forgive him, then hold a press conference to publicly apologize and promise not to do it again. Then, he can work with the agency's public relations department to salvage his image. Although it's impossible to completely reverse the damage, at least the impact can be minimized so that he won't be left without any acting opportunities."
While the two were talking.
Neither the driver nor Lin Wan's personal assistant, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke.
Seeing that Lin Wan remained silent, Zhang Xiaohua didn't continue.
Similar attempts to whitewash domestic violence are not uncommon in the entertainment industry. Ultimately, it depends on the attitude of the parties involved. If the parties choose to forgive, there is a lot of room for maneuver. After all, if even the victim chooses to forgive, then the audience... even if they are extremely disappointed, can only let it go. Therefore, the key to this matter lies in the attitude of Wang Zhi's wife, Zhang Li.
in contrast.
Just like Huang Min, even though he hadn't actually hit Lin Wan, her accusations were believed by both people in the entertainment industry and the audience. Zhang Xiaohua had completely forgotten that besides Lin Wan's fatal blow, she, Huang Min's former manager, had also stabbed him in the back, leaving Huang Min with no chance to fight back.
The car entered the Sanshui residential area.
Seeing her son squatting alone in the children's area of the living room, playing with building blocks under the care of their nanny, Lin Wan smiled. She walked over to her son, squatted down, and pinched his cheek, pretending to be angry, saying, "Why didn't you run over to greet your mother when she came home?!"
"It's not like you can't walk."
The relatively pretty little guy replied without even looking up.
"What did you learn at kindergarten today?!"
Lin Wan asked with a smile.
"Let's go for this one."
The little boy raised his arm and shook the red building blocks he was holding, a happy look on his innocent face: "The teacher even praised me for building them well today!"
"I'm going back now."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and waved to the little boy: "Goodbye, Xiaobai."
"Don't call me Xiaobai, call me Huang Xiubai."
The little guy tilted his head back, looking unhappy.
"Okay, little Huang Xiubai."
Zhang Xiaohua's voice came through.
As she was leaving the living room, Zhang Xiaohua subconsciously turned her head to look at Huang Xiubai, who was still assembling building blocks with Lin Wan by his side. If Huang Min never got up, that would be fine, but if he did... Zhang Xiaohua guessed that only this five-year-old little guy could make Huang Min show mercy.
As she looked away, Zhang Xiaohua glanced at Lin Wan, who was already sitting next to Xiaobai, before turning away. To Zhang Xiaohua and Lin Wan's surprise, the next morning, Zhang Li, accompanied by her family, held a press conference at an international convention center.
Amidst the flashing lights of reporters, Zhang Li began to speak, "Wang Zhi has abused me more than once. He hit me during my pregnancy, choked me, and hit me with the TV remote. Because of the child, I had no choice but to endure it. In addition, I had no source of income at the time, so he threatened me with living expenses..."
talking.
Zhang Li's eyes reddened, and she choked up as she said, "The night before last, he beat me up again over a trivial matter, and at the same time..." Zhang Li took out a voice recorder and tapped it directly in front of all the reporters.
Wang Zhi's furious roar immediately came from inside: "What, you think I'm afraid of you just like that! I'm giving you one hour. Come back here right now and clarify things in front of the reporters tomorrow, or you know the consequences..."
What followed was a barrage of insults.
The scene erupted in uproar.
