The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 803 - 802. Issue a statement?

The content of the second bombshell was still explosive that the Weibo post hit the trending list by noon that day, successfully topping the original first place.

"Mu Ziwei: You might not believe it, but I managed to knock my own trending topic off the top."

"Now, half of the top ten trending topics are monopolized by her. Except for a [Vast Entertainment declares it’s baseless], the rest are all explosive revelations!"

"Ladies, stay calm, there might even be a third bombshell..."

Regardless of how Mu Ziwei and Vast Entertainment operate, the appearance of a second bombshell when the first one hasn’t been resolved yet makes it hard for netizens to believe the unrelated denial statement from the official Weibo.

"So, is Vast Entertainment going to issue a clarification statement today?"

"Not likely, since they haven’t resolved yesterday’s issue..."

"Suddenly, I feel sorry for Vast Entertainment’s PR department; they must be overwhelmed now."

"I think they should add a legal department too. Hang in there, colleagues, have some good food tonight to replenish your energy~~"

"Detective: As long as I’m faster, you’ll never catch up with the heat of climbing the charts, oh yeah~~~"

"Really? What’s wrong with you guys, shouldn’t you be concerned about the authenticity of these revelations?"

Seeing this comment, netizens expressed their disdain with an explicit "Pfft~~~".

Now, no one cares about the truth of the revelations anymore. The attention of the general public has entirely shifted to whether there will be a third bombshell; some have even started betting on it.

"I bet a pack of spicy strips that there will be a third one tomorrow at the same time!"

"Two packs, there’s a high chance there won’t be anymore. How bad can a female celebrity really get, even if she creates more drama?"

However, the fact told him that this talented actress knows no limits in creating drama!

On the third day at noon, a gossip blog known as [Entertainment Detective]posted the third bombshell, shocking all netizens.

"Holy shit, the content this time is about Mu Ziwei’s personal romantic history???"

"Let’s count the Wood Goddess’s past boyfriends... All of her exes neatly lined up!"

"Detective is actually a hacker master, right? How else could he obtain crucial evidence like WeChat animated chat gifs?"

"And he even pixelated the names of the guys outside the industry, such a meticulous approach is freaking amazing!"

"emmmmm~~~ I just want to know, how come so many lewd remarks in the chat remained uncensored?"

...

By the fifth day of continual reveals, the enthralled public finally noticed a change in the wording of the detective’s posts; what should have been labeled as [The fifth bombshell]was instead [The final bombshell], meaning there would be no more tomorrow.

"I’m so full, I must find a place to digest all this—"

"So, has the Detective received the court summons for the first bombshell yet?"

"No need to think about it, even if there’s no first bombshell, surely the second and third are real, right? The victim herself has admitted, Mu Ziwei is completely doomed!"

"Who on earth did the Wood Goddess offend to have someone go to such lengths to topple her?"

The matter continued for five days, and the crowd feasted until they were full, with each revelation seeming plausible, even Mu Ziwei’s massive fanbase couldn’t find inconsistencies to refute. By the last day, no one was claiming the revelations were fake anymore, and the fans who had been clamoring to bring justice for their idol gradually quieted down, no longer making a single comment.

"So, Mu Ziwei is ruined now, right?"

"I heard a special task force has been set up since the content of the first bombshell was illegal; other aspects might be ignored, but this matter must be severely punished!"

"If that’s the case, even if the truth isn’t that severe, there’s always loopholes in contracts."

"She’s finished, utterly finished. This was a premeditated exposé—"

Netizens gradually realized something was off, shifting their focus to [Who exactly did Mu Ziwei offend], while the detective’s follower count soared rapidly, making the affair a foregone conclusion.

Within Vast Entertainment, Mu Ziwei’s manager hung his hands powerlessly, the phone call display showing it had ended.

The person opposite, staring with heavy dark circles, anxiously grabbed his wrist, her freshly painted nails digging deeply into his flesh.

"How is it, what did the company say?"

At that moment, the manager’s eyes looked at her with unprecedented complexity, completely different from his usual kindness, "The company said the PR department will issue a statement, I’ll send it to you later, you... just need to copy and paste it on Weibo."

But the content of the statement... Considering her current mental state, he didn’t disclose it on the spot.

Statement? What statement?

Mu Ziwei was utterly confused, her mind occupied by those words, yet before she could ask, her phone dinged, and the official statement prepared by the PR department arrived.

She hurriedly opened and read through it, her hopeful expression gradually darkening.

"What does the company mean by this? They actually want me to admit to those revelations and even sincerely apologize to the fans?!"

Impossible! There’s absolutely no way she would apologize!

After her long hard struggle to get to where she was today, with even higher career prospects awaiting her, just a few bombshells and the company expects her to confess on Weibo? What future would she have then!

"Could the PR department have sent the wrong statement?"

"No."

Silence fell in the break room, and in just two minutes, Mu Ziwei went from disbelief to realizing the company’s intentions.

"Is the company planning to abandon me?"

Her manager pursed his lips in silence.

Reading his expression, Mu Ziwei’s face filled with indignation and unwillingness, "No, they can’t abandon me. I must talk to the higher-ups; I want to see President Wang!"

"President Wang doesn’t want to see you..."

"How do you know he doesn’t want to see me? I’m saying I want to see him, now, right away!"

Mu Ziwei shouted hysterically. If it had been before, her manager might have just complied, but her command now just made her already troubled-looking manager look even worse.

"Mu Ziwei, since the PR department has sent you the apology statement, it means this is a unanimous decision by the upper management. Whoever you want to see won’t change a thing, you’re already a discarded pawn, do you understand?"

"No, it can’t be, I’ve made a lot of money for the company over the years, they can’t just abandon me like this."

"Don’t be naive, you’ve endorsed several products and ads recently, and with your damaged reputation, the company now faces a situation of losing money."
