Chapter 86: Dating someone else.
Just a few minutes after Huo Heng was summoned to the police station, the news had already spread on the Internet. Wang Feifei also asked someone to release the public relations draft that she had prepared in advance, and the Internet was in chaos.
After seeing this, Secretary Qin took advantage of the time when the guest who was dining with Pei Yu went to the bathroom to inform Pei Yu of the news, "Huo Heng has been summoned now. It looks like he will be detained for a few days."
The impact on a public figure's career caused by being detained for "violating other people's privacy" is immeasurable. Several brands have now announced the termination of their contracts with him, and his fans are in chaos.
Pei Yu looked through the overwhelming marketing materials on the Internet and could see that Wang Feifei had prepared them in advance. It was just that Shen Zhiyi and Huo Heng already had an old relationship and there was news that they were about to get back together, so this happened suddenly. While everyone was shocked that Huo Heng had broken the law, they were also talking about how cruel she was, saying that she was making a fuss and deliberately destroying Huo Heng's career.
The situation will not calm down anytime soon, and Huo Heng's agency will not sit idly by, so Shen Zhiyi is bound to be subject to considerable public attacks.
"Send all the information you found before to Qin Fangru. He knows what to do."
Secretary Qin was surprised, "All?"
Those data were obtained simultaneously when the investigation into Shen Zhiyi's drugging began. Pei Yu had not given any further instructions, and he thought Pei Yu would never touch Huo Heng.
Pei Yu said coldly, "All of them."
Huo Heng had not made any move because he was aware of his importance in Shen Zhiyi's heart. Now that he had exhausted the last bit of affection from Shen Zhiyi, Pei Yu would naturally not hold back.
Not long after, when Huo Heng's agent was still preparing a large number of marketing articles in an attempt to shift the focus of discussion to Shen Zhiyi and thus divert public attention, the entries on the hot search list quietly changed, and more than a dozen explosive posts related to Huo Heng appeared in the public eye.

……
"Oh my god," Wang Feifei, who always pays attention to public opinion trends, was shocked, "We didn't post these, did we?"
The PR director pushed up his glasses and said, "I only know how to send out marketing materials, I can't be a detective."
There is solid evidence for each of these points, which cannot be refuted at all. There is no way to wash away the guilt. Huo Heng is really finished now.
Wang Feifei was surprised, and after a little thought she knew who did it. However, she didn't expect that after they broke up, the other person would still be willing to help.
Since she had received a favor from someone, she had to express her gratitude. Wang Feifei called Shen Zhiyi and asked, "Zhiyi, have you seen today's hot searches?"
Shen Zhiyi had just gotten up after sleeping too late yesterday. "I haven't watched it yet. I don't plan to watch it."
When she decided to call the police, she knew that the matter would not be resolved so smoothly, and the online public opinion would not be one-sided. She would definitely be involved. Shen Zhiyi had seen enough of those bad comments and did not intend to pay attention to them.
"Look, look," Wang Feifei smiled from ear to ear, "You must look."
"Okay, let me take a look."
After taking a quick look at a few explosive posts, Shen Zhiyi was stunned. She didn't know Huo Heng had done so many illegal things. The tax evasion alone was enough to ruin his career.
I scrolled down one by one and accidentally clicked on a post that was at the bottom of the trending search list. The poster was an unknown paparazzi account, and the entry was "The first daughter of a wealthy family on a voyage is dating her boyfriend."
This first-time daughter has many fans on social media and has appeared on several online variety shows, often sharing her lavish life. Shen Zhiyi only knew this person but didn't know her. However, the date photo taken by the paparazzi stunned her.
The photo was very high-definition and was taken in a high-end restaurant. The man sitting opposite the maiden daughter was only in the photo from the side, so his eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly, but the familiar profile of his face still made people recognize him at a glance. He lowered his head slightly, and the fingers holding the knife and fork were slender and bony. She had held their hands and shaken them.
Wang Feifei was still talking, "Did you see that? Huo Heng is doomed. Now everyone is talking about him. We have nothing to do with him. But I didn't ask anyone to post this."
She suggested, "Why don't you go and express your gratitude?" Compared to Huo Heng, Shen Zhiyi and Pei Yu could be said to have parted ways amicably. Wang Feifei had no psychological burden at all, but she still had to express her gratitude.
His finger was on the screen for too long, and the picture was accidentally saved. Shen Zhiyi returned to other interfaces and said, "He should not be free."
Busy dating.
"That's right," Wang Feifei didn't know that the two were talking about different things. She just felt that the man was not someone she could meet just by saying so. "Then I'll tell Secretary Qin later."
"Why don't you take a day off today? I see the paparazzi are still watching us."
After all, she was the "ex-girlfriend" who sent Huo Heng to the police station.
"No need," Shen Zhiyi said, "I've asked Xiao Dong to pick me up to the set."
"Okay, I'll be watching Huo Heng's side. There shouldn't be any twists and turns."
In the afternoon, Shen Zhiyi arrived at the set and everyone in the crew was watching melons, but they knew their limits and didn't come over to bother her.
Xiao Dong rummaged through his bag, "Sister, where's your script?"
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she forgot to bring the script with her. "I left it at home."
Xiao Dong: "I didn't bring a water cup either."
She smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll get it back to you later."
Then she couldn't help but joke, "Sister, are you too excited to think that Huo Heng won't be able to bother you anymore? You've never been forgetful before."
Shen Zhiyi forced a smile, then quickly lowered her head, staring at the hem of her skirt in a daze, the photo lingering in her mind.
She wrinkled the corner of her skirt and sighed softly.
So annoying.
The phone rang, probably from Wang Feifei. Shen Zhiyi picked it up casually with a low voice.
"Hey?"
The voice on the other end was not Wang Feifei's. "Ms. Shen."
Shen Zhiyi glanced at the caller ID and said, "Secretary Qin?"
"It's me," Secretary Qin said awkwardly, "Today, Mr. Pei met with Miss Xia from Shouhang and had lunch with her. It was mainly to discuss an overseas order. The meal lasted no more than half an hour, and we didn't talk about anything else except business."
He asked cautiously, "Ms. Shen, have you seen that photo?"
This matter was due to his poor performance. When he discovered it, the photos had already spread. He had no idea whether Shen Zhiyi had seen them or not. To be on the safe side, he would explain it clearly first.
Shen Zhiyi was silent for a moment, smoothed out her wrinkled skirt, and said softly, "Secretary Qin, you don't have to explain to me."
Even if it was really a date, she had no say in it.
Secretary Qin stole a glance at the person who was signing a document behind the desk, smiled awkwardly, and said vaguely, "It is my job to protect Mr. Pei's reputation."
Haha, this directly determines whether his year-end bonus is six or seven figures.
