Chapter 540: Chapter 410: School Violence (Part 4)
...
The smoke of gunpowder fills the air.
Zhou Yun, having watched the interview video, smirked coldly at the corner of her mouth.
Coincidentally, Song Chi’s call came right through.
"Why are you up so early? Why not sleep in?" she asked.
Song Chi said, "Someone online..."
"I know, I’ve seen it," Zhou Yun interrupted Song Chi, "It’s okay, I know who that person is, and it’s not like what she said."
"I know, I trust that you would definitely not do such a thing. However, with her saying these things in the interview, it will inevitably have a negative impact on public opinion towards you. Do you have a plan for clarifying this matter?"
"Yes, I do," Zhou Yun said, "Sister Lan has everything prepared, don’t worry about it."
Song Chi hummed in acknowledgment, "As long as you’re prepared, that’s good. Once you guys issue a statement, I’ll share it."
"It even involves you now, huh."
"What’s this ’involves’? There’s no inconvenience between us," Song Chi said seriously.
Zhou Yun laughed and said, "Okay."
Song Chi’s call had just ended when Zhou Lan’s call came in.
"Xiao Yun, the company will release a statement later, I won’t go into specifics now, but for now, we’ll deny today’s leak. Let’s wait and see what other cards the other party has up their sleeves."
"Okay."
Ten minutes later, Chengqian Entertainment released a statement, strongly denying the allegations of campus violence involving Zhou Yun. They didn’t mention sending a lawyer’s notice but made two points clear:
1. In the era of the internet, spreading rumors frivolously without any evidence is unacceptable. Show us the proof.
2. The kind of person Zhou Yun is—whether it be colleagues she has worked with, or classmates from the past, there’s never been similar criticism. Ever since entering the industry, she has worked diligently and conscientiously, always maintaining her original intentions and has never bullied others.
The statement was released quickly, coming out before noon.
Zhou Yun shared it, and Song Chi shared Zhou Yun’s post.
Having this kind of support, Zhou Yun’s fans naturally gained confidence and began to rally behind her.
They gathered and posted evaluations by others on Zhou Yun over the past two years, proving her character.
At the same time, there was another critical point—
Just yesterday, Meng Ran had an accident on stage. In a backstage video captured by others, Zhou Yun proactively inquired about Meng Ran’s condition, and accompanied her while waiting for a ride.
In everyone’s minds, the impression of Zhou Yun as a kind-hearted girl was still very vivid.
Generally, people were reluctant to believe that Zhou Yun would engage in school bullying as claimed, not to mention that the person giving the interview was completely pixelated and didn’t provide any evidence.
At noon, Meng Ran updated her blog, explaining the onstage accident that happened the previous night.
In essence, it was as Wan Tianlang had hoped; the main issue was a lack of communication between the two sides, leading to an uncoordinated stage change that caused the accident. But she reassured everyone that her injury was minor, just a slight sprain. The accident made her feel even more cherished, as after the incident occurred, she received concern and help from many, especially Zhou Yun, who was about to perform next, yet stayed backstage with her despite not having changed makeup or costume, giving her comfort and strength. Later, while heading back to the filming site at night, Zhou Yun even sent her messages, cheering her on.
Meng Ran’s lengthy blog post unexpectedly included three lines of gratitude towards Zhou Yun.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t have mattered, but happening at this critical juncture, Meng Ran’s words undoubtedly represented a clear stance, even though she didn’t express any specific opinion on the matter involving Zhou Yun nor even mention it at all.
Not only did Meng Ran’s statement shift the focus away from her and Binjiang TV’s conflict, but it also turned the discussion to Zhou Yun’s incident.
Upon seeing Meng Ran’s blog post, Zhou Yun was momentarily stunned.
