Chapter 20: Release the final blow
The girl looked at Dai Yan in surprise, "President Dai, I am Huo Xiwen."
The little stars in Dai Yan's eyes instantly fell like sparks hitting the earth, destroying them.
There was no more embarrassing moment than this moment. He raised his hand and touched his nose uncomfortably.
"Well, let's see which video to copy first?"
Huo Xiwen nodded funnyly and motioned for him to go ahead and lead the way.
The two arrived at the monitoring room. Even though it was already three o'clock in the night, there were still people on standby in the monitoring room under the advance arrangements of Assistant Dai Yan.
Huo Xiwen asked the staff to replay the surveillance at around 2:20 p.m., discovered Yang Xiao and the three girls, and immediately asked the staff to pause.
She zoomed in and took a closer look and found that two of them were the two girls in the video circulating on the Internet.
Without further hesitation, she asked the staff to help her copy this section. Then she asked the staff to help access the surveillance camera in the audition room and copy every frame of Yang Xiao after she entered the door. She wanted to use it.
Dai Yan had been observing her while she was communicating with the staff.
As an agent, she is still very young at 28 years old, but she is meticulous and professional. She does not feel superior to the staff and always communicates in a gentle manner.
Seeing the staff copying the video, Huo Xiwen was free. He opened his mouth to find something to talk about, but was interrupted by her phone ringing.
She answered quickly.
It's Fang Ru.
"Sister Wen, I'm sorry. I contacted two girls, but they said they wanted to be in the entertainment industry in the future and didn't want to get into trouble... so they were unwilling to come forward to testify."
Huo Xiwen had already considered this possibility, but there was no surprise.
"Okay, I understand, you should go to bed early."
She was just about to hang up when Fang Ru's words pressed the pause button.
"Sister Wen, can you please let me come forward to testify? I was involved in the entire conflict between Sister Xiao and them. No one knows the ins and outs of the whole thing better than me."
But he was rejected by Huo Xiwen.
"You are Yang Xiao's assistant. You came forward to testify and everyone believed it today. But if it is revealed that you are Yang Xiao's assistant, we cannot afford the backlash."
Fang Ru could only hang up the phone in frustration.
Dai Yan, who was standing by, heard the general content and spoke up to discuss it.
"Uh, can I call you Xiwen?" Seeing Huo Xiwen nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"As for the content of your phone call just now, I can arrange for someone to call the girls who successfully auditioned today in the name of the company and ask them to come forward to testify. I believe that with the guarantee of Times Group, they will not refuse again."
Hearing this, Huo Xiwen's eyes lit up, "Of course it would be best if you could come forward, but I don't know if it will be too troublesome?"
That's what she said, but she clearly didn't mean it.
Whenever Dai Yan wanted to refuse, she would use her professional knowledge to get him to reorganize his words and agree to her.
Fortunately, Dai Yan came up and shook his head.
"It's just a matter of a few phone calls. It's no trouble at all. I'll have my assistant get in touch right away."
After saying that, I called my assistant.
Ten minutes later, the assistant called back: Three girls agreed to testify, and they would record videos separately and send them over. However, they had one requirement: their faces must be mosaic-ed.
Huo Xiwen agreed.
After a while, the surveillance video was copied, and Huo Xiwen put away the USB flash drive and thanked Dai Yan.
"President, thank you for your kindness. I'm sorry to trouble you tonight. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Dai Yan said a few polite words and suddenly made a request.
“Since we want to have dinner together next time, why not add us on WeChat first?”
Huo Xiwen was a little confused. Although she was interested in eating, she thought that Dai Yan was young and promising and might not have time to entertain her, so she just wanted to be polite.
But since he is willing, she will not be stingy.
"Okay, add WeChat and let me know when the agent is free next time. Your wallet will be ready at any time."
After saying that, he smiled brightly and left without looking back.
Dai Yan looked at her neat back and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart...
After hesitation and entanglement, he finally dialed Shi Xun's phone when the sky was dimming.
The first one was killed, and he continued to fight.
When I got through, my voice sounded like I was getting out of bed. It was deep and slightly sandy, which was nice to hear.
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Five o'clock."
Shi Xun was not angry, "If it's not urgent, I'll just hang up."
Dai Yan hurriedly stopped him, "Axun, I have something urgent, a huge emergency!"
"explain!"
Dai Yan was hesitant again, but he was afraid that Shi Xun would hang up if he didn't say anything anymore, so he carefully organized his words.
"I seem to have fallen in love with a girl..."
Shi Xun sighed, "Didn't you just say that? I know it's Yang Xiao..."
"It's not her." Dai Yan breathed a sigh of relief after saying this.
"I met her agent tonight. I didn't know it was her agent at first. My heartbeat suddenly became very fast. It was completely different from the feeling when I met Yang Xiao.
I checked online, and I guess I like Yang Xiao like a fanboy worshiping a goddess, but for Huo Xiwen, it’s just a man who likes a woman, and she really fell in love with me!”
Shi Xun listened patiently to what he said, and suddenly felt that the only wrong thing he had done so far was to meet Dai Yan.
Fortunately, he really considered whether to help him find a way to chase Yang Xiao...
"Next time you disturb my sleep for something like this, I will block you!" After saying that, he hung up the phone and turned off the phone.
Dai Yan was left alone to open his eyes until daylight, and he tasted insomnia for the first time.
-
After not sleeping all night, Huo Xiwen was still in high spirits.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the testimonial videos of the three girls were sent over. Everything was ready, and she started to fight back.
In the first wave, several large accounts on Weibo that messed up the rhythm were sued in the name of the company, and a lawyer's letter was issued.
In the second wave, the three girls' testimonial videos and copied corridor surveillance video clips were released at the same time.
The lawyer's letter did not cause panic among the big fans at first. They still had the confidence to post some negative comments about Yang Xiao to gain public attention and traffic.
Until the surveillance video and testimonial video were released, everything in them showed that Yang Xiao would hit people, which was completely forced and helpless.
The statements made by other girls at the scene are reasonable and have the same cause and effect. Although the mosaic on the face makes it less credible, the public can also understand the girl's way of protecting herself.
The more rational and rhythmic account started deleting the video comments and took the initiative to seek peace with @Huo Xiwen.
Netizens certainly have something to say about this operation.
[Yang Xiao’s agent was indeed very resolute, and he turned the tide in just a few clicks.]
[Even if the beating was forced, what about the live audition? Did the godfather reveal the script in advance? 】
[I watched the video at least ten times. Yang Xiao really didn’t intend to cause trouble when he sat in the corner at first. He kept avoiding him again and again. The other person was bullying people too much.]
[Doesn’t anyone suspect that it’s malicious editing? 】
