Chen Xin grabbed her phone and picked up her bag.
"I have to go!"
She said to her two best friends and hurried out of the private room.
"Sister Xin! Sister Xin?"
Zisu and Li Lan called out from behind, but Chen Xin had already quickly left the restaurant and driven away.
"What's wrong?"
The two women looked at each other.
"Could she have a secret lover?"
Chen Xin drove away from the restaurant with a pale face. As she drove down the road, her mind was elsewhere, and she almost ran a red light.
In the end, she simply pulled over to the side of the road.
After taking a few breaths, she quickly took out her phone and reopened the pictures she had received in the text message.
These pictures seemed to be screenshots from a video, and the clarity wasn't high.
However, because the filming distance was so close, it was still very clear to see Zhou Yiyi, with his clothes in disarray and a look of panic on his face. Behind him on the bed were three women, also with their clothes in disarray!
Chen Xin's face turned from white to red, then to ashen.
"Damn it, you idiot!"
Director Chen, usually elegant and composed, cursed, unsure if she was cursing Zhou Yiyi or the person who sent the text message.
After cursing and venting a little, Chen Xin tried to calm herself down.
Her expression flickered, and finally, with a dark face, she called the number back.
"Director Chen, hehe, do you need something?"
The other party answered quickly. The voice was a robotic male voice that had been altered by a voice changer, exactly like the ones used by the contestants in Pure Voice.
At this moment, it sounded rather meaningful.
Veins bulged on Chen Xin's fair forehead as she gritted her teeth and said:
"Where did you get these photos? What do you want?"
The other party chuckled: "I just want to add you on WeChat."
Chen Xin didn't believe it at all. If these pictures were leaked, they would definitely cause a huge uproar in the entertainment industry.
Zhou Yiyi's image as a diligent and shy person would be completely ruined.
As for whether his future could be salvaged, that had nothing to do with Chen Xin.
She only cared about her show!
Thanks to the massive success of the first season of Pure Voice, she had finally gone from a production assistant to a rising director valued by the station.
She had planned to make a grand debut in the second season of Pure Voice and elevate her career to the next level.
But who knew that before the show even aired, a mentor would cause such a huge scandal.
If these pictures were exposed, the production team would absolutely not dare to let Zhou Yiyi continue as a mentor.
But they had already filmed two episodes!
The show was scheduled to premiere in a few days.
In such a short time, could they find a new guest, coordinate with the other three mentors, and re-record two episodes with all the contestants?
How was that possible?!
Moreover, the station had invested so much promotional resources, only to encounter such a massive problem right before the broadcast.
Then her position as director...
At this moment, Chen Xin's phone beeped with a notification. She looked down and saw a WeChat friend request from someone named "Fan Circle Gecko."
"Director Chen, please accept my request."
The robotic male voice came from the phone. Chen Xin felt that the guy seemed very excited.
"What exactly do you want?"
"Director Chen, I have the complete video, it's very exciting, enough to completely destroy Zhou Yiyi."
The guy on the other end of the phone chuckled and said slowly:
"If you still have any illusions about him, then you'll just let your show die with this idiot. I'm helping you!"
Chen Xin gritted her teeth, her mind finally gradually calming down, and asked:
"Are you going to expose this video?"
"Of course."
"When?"
"After your first two episodes air. So, you still have time to find a replacement mentor for Zhou Yiyi."
Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but show surprise. She couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you telling me this? What do you want?"
The person on the other end chuckled, "Didn't I say? I just want to add you on WeChat."
"..."
Chen Xin felt this guy wasn't telling the truth at all, but the fate of the show was in his hands now, and she couldn't do anything about it.
"I'll hang up now, I'll add your WeChat right away."
"Okay, I'll be waiting."
Chen Xin hung up the phone and immediately accepted "Fan Circle Gecko's" friend request.
The other party also sent a video.
Chen Xin clicked on it, and her face immediately turned ugly again.
"Zhou Yiyi has a girlfriend?"
"He's not only cheating, but he's also seeing three women at once?"
"And one of them is his fan??"
"..."
"This trash!!"
Chen Xin cursed angrily, her fair cheeks flushing red.
At the same time, she felt that Zhou Yiyi's girlfriend—or rather, ex-girlfriend now—looked a bit familiar.
That's right!
She quickly remembered that at the station's annual party last year, this woman sat at the same table as the station director, along with her father.
Chen Xin couldn't help but send a message to "Fan Circle Gecko":
"Do you know who Zhou Yiyi's girlfriend is?"
"I do."
"Aren't you afraid of retaliation?"
"Why should I be afraid? I'm the one who told her about Zhou Yiyi's cheating."
He added a covering-mouth-and-laughing emoji at the end.
Chen Xin looked at the usually cute emoji, but at this moment, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Zhou Yiyi being caught cheating and then having it recorded on video, all of it was orchestrated by this "Fan Circle Gecko"!
Chen Xin felt a chill rise from the base of her spine all the way to the top of her head.
Who is this person?
"Stop spacing out and hurry up and find a new mentor. You don't have much time."
The person on the other end reminded her kindly.
Right, she needed to take immediate remedial action!
Chen Xin snapped back to reality. She was also a decisive person and immediately had a plan in mind.
To avoid any further complications, the first two episodes with Zhou Yiyi would be merged into one. She would find a replacement guest for Zhou Yiyi before the next episode began recording.
"Thank you."
Chen Xin thanked the other party. Regardless of what "Fan Circle Gecko's" motives were, he had helped her out.
Otherwise, he could have just exposed the video directly and wouldn't have cared about the fate of "Pure Voice."
By notifying her in advance, he at least gave the production team time to react.
"You're welcome. Let's have tea together sometime! Good night."
The other party said playfully and then went silent.
Chen Xin immediately called the associate director:
"Notify everyone immediately, we're having a meeting at the station. Yes, now, immediately, right away!!"
Late at night, in the capital.
At Liu Qiang's home.
A hurried phone ringtone sounded in the bedroom. Liu Qiang jolted awake and quickly grabbed his phone, pressing the mute button.
He glanced back at his wife beside him. Luckily, she wasn't woken up.
My wife's pregnancy symptoms have been getting worse lately, with morning sickness, drowsiness, and generally not feeling well.
Liu Qiang was afraid of waking his wife and disturbing her sleep.
His phone was still vibrating, so Liu Qiang quickly got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, and gently closed the door.
"Who the hell is calling so late at night?"
He looked down and saw it wasn't a call, but a voice call from Dawei Tianlong via QQ.
Liu Qiang quickly answered.
"Brother, hello, is there something you need me for?"
