Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 359 - Chapter 359 Chapter 358 Reversal

Chapter 359: Chapter 358: Reversal Chapter 359: Chapter 358: Reversal Hearing Ming Yao’s words, Xie Tianyu was stunned.

How could Huatian Entertainment take the initiative to terminate his contract?

Now that he was disobeying the boss, he was about to be put on ice. There was no way they would let him go!

Besides, the video of him being coerced to accompany those rich ladies was firmly in the boss’s grasp.

With a simple edit, the company could turn it into scandalous material against him.

Ming Yao lowered her voice and whispered a few words in Xie Tianyu’s ear.

Xie Tianyu looked into Ming Yao’s determined eyes and inexplicably trusted her.

“Okay, if it works out, I’ll be indebted to Sister Yao for the rest of my life.”

Ming Yao patted Xie Tianyu on the shoulder, “If the termination is successful, you come work for me at Starlight Entertainment to make money.”

Although Starlight Entertainment was not large, with Sister Yao there, Xie Tianyu was absolutely reassured.

“Alright, no problem.”

After the initial promotion of ‘Peerless’ ended, Xie Tianyu received a call from the boss, instructing him to accompany those rich ladies once again.

Xie Tianyu agreed.

Arriving at the designated private room, the rich ladies showed a longing look in their eyes upon seeing Xie Tianyu.

This little fresh meat was exactly to their taste.

Over six feet tall, with bronze skin and handsome features.

Tall with long legs, a narrow waist, the perfect example of a young hunk.

It was just that his personality was too fiery.

Last time, despite their promises of abundant benefits, he refused to accompany them.

“Xiao Xie is here? Come sit.” One of the rich ladies, heavily made up with a large frame, wrapped Xie Tianyu’s arm and pulled him to sit next to her.

Another lady poured a drink for Xie Tianyu.

The rich ladies exchanged glances with each other; today they had to turn Xie Tianyu from a young hunk into a baby face.

Xie Tianyu picked up his glass and took a sip, but suddenly his body started shaking violently, and he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing his deathly pale face and the foam at his mouth, the rich ladies were stunned.

It was at that moment that the police burst in.

“Nobody move, we have received reports of illegal transactions.”

Seeing the fallen Xie Tianyu and the shocked rich ladies, the police immediately made an emergency call.

Then they bagged up all the glasses.

Reporters had already been lurking at the entrance of Dihao Hotel. Seeing the rich ladies being escorted out and Xie Tianyu being lifted onto the ambulance, they snapped photos furiously.

That night, Xie Tianyu hit the trending searches.

Xie Tianyu, emergency rescue.

Xie Tianyu, rich ladies.

Xie Tianyu, fate unknown… and other related terms trended.

Originally, Xie Tianyu was not very famous, not an A-list celebrity, and he wouldn’t make it to trending searches.

But with Ming Yao’s manipulation behind the scenes, coupled with the incident involving a life at stake and gossip elements, more and more netizens joined the fray.

When the boss of Huatian Entertainment received the call, his complexion was quite ugly.

Several rich ladies were arrested, and now netizens were all criticizing their company.

The boss of Huatian Entertainment called Xie Tianyu’s agent, who said that Xie Tianyu was in a critical condition, his life hanging in the balance.

The CEO immediately called for the public relations team, “Since Xie Tianyu’s life and death are uncertain, let’s take this time to release all his little videos with the wealthy lady, claiming that he did indecent things for resources by himself!”

Huatian Entertainment quickly issued a statement, claiming they knew nothing about Xie Tianyu meeting with the wealthy lady.

At the same time, some marketing accounts leaked the videos of Xie Tianyu accompanying the wealthy lady.

The video, after editing, truly appeared as if Xie Tianyu was ingratiating himself with rich matrons.

The direction of the online wind instantly shifted.

Netizens who initially sympathized with Xie Tianyu and condemned Huatian Entertainment suddenly started cursing at Xie Tianyu.

–Xie Tianyu is just nineteen, right? So young and already so eager for quick success and instant benefits, he’s even willing to pander to fifty-year-old old ladies, absolutely nauseating!

–Oh my god, after watching the video, I suddenly don’t sympathize with him at all!

–They say the entertainment industry is a big dye vat, it really is no hoax!

–If you ask me, Xie Tianyu got what he deserved, not worth sympathizing with even if he’s dead!

–Right, if he wants to be famous, he can’t blame the artist’s management company when things go wrong!

–Huatian Entertainment is really down on its luck to have such an artist who would do anything for fame!

Zhong Ling and the public relations team from Starlight Entertainment Company were closely monitoring the online public opinion.

Seeing Xie Tianyu getting severely sprayed, Zhong Ling was somewhat anxious, “Sister Yao, the netizens are being too harsh!”

Ming Yao took a sip of coffee, “It will rebound after hitting the bottom, the harder they criticize him, the more guilty and sympathetic they’ll feel when they realize they’ve wronged him.”

The CEO of Huatian Entertainment saw that they quickly took control of the direction of public opinion and snorted coldly, “A small artist, what waves can he possibly make?”

But how did such a secretive matter get found by the police and secretly photographed by the media?

He faintly felt that something was not quite right.

Just when the direction of public opinion was slightly tilting in his favor for less than an hour, the police released a report.

[Regarding the specific incident involving Xie XX and several ladies in a private dining room at Dihao Hotel, the following notification is provided]

The report stated that hallucinogenic substances were found in the drinks, Xie Tianyu fainted from suffocation after having a drink, and no other filthy events occurred.

Upon the release of the notification, some marketing accounts exposed a segment of the video.

In the private room, Xie Tianyu was pulled by a wealthy lady to sit on a chair, followed by another rich woman handing him a drink.

Xie Tianyu took a sip and then fainted.

From his expression, it was clear that he resisted such social engagements.

The netizens were stunned by the notification content and the video.

–If Xie Tianyu was willing, why would they need to put that stuff in the drink?

–Did you see Xie Tianyu’s expression? He was very reluctant!

–What really happened? Request the truth to be restored!

Just as the netizens were demanding the truth, Xie Tianyu’s agent, Brother Lei, spoke out.

[Right now Tianyu is still in the emergency room, uncertain whether he’ll live or die, and I have buried some words in my heart for a long time; it’s time to say them. Tianyu was born in the countryside, a hard-luck kid who is positive and upbeat, working twenty hours a day, sometimes staying up for several days without sleep, never complaining of exhaustion or hardship.

The company doesn’t lack top-tier artists, but the likes of Tianyu, handsome and tall like a ‘small wolf dog,’ are rare. Some time ago the company wanted him to take on an adult film, and naturally Tianyu disagreed. Thereupon, the company started to suppress him, asking him to accompany those old and ugly wealthy ladies. Tianyu refused to the death, and the CEO threatened him, saying he’d be put on ice.

Today, after completing the promotion for “Peerless,” the CEO asked him to accompany those several wealthy ladies again. After Tianyu went over, whatever happened, I believe you all have seen from the videos of Gossipmongers.

I’m speaking out today; I might be blacklisted by the industry and Huatian Entertainment’s CEO, but I truly feel sorry for Tianyu. Even if I have no work in the future, I can’t bear to see Tianyu being slandered, harmed, and cyberbullied like this!

If you netizens still have a conscience, then stop saying anything wrong about Tianyu, and sincerely pray for him!

That’s all I have to say, and I urge Huatian Entertainment not to pressure a good kid who is still fighting for his life in the ICU!]
