Ding Yun, however, was not as easily fooled as the original host.
If Ding Yun was on the verge of drawing a bow before communicating with Hu Meimei, then now it was like an arrow loosed from the bow with no turning back, leaving no room for maneuver.
Anyone with a normal mind and logic.
Would not expect a traitor.
To have a good outcome.
Currently, Ding Yun and the others might believe they were fighting against the unscrupulous "Black Heart Landlord" company, but from the company's perspective, their actions were undoubtedly a betrayal.
No matter how nicely Li Hongying spoke.
If they truly compromised, there would surely be reckoning later.
Therefore, Ding Yun still smiled and pointed to the door, "Walk well, I won't see you off..."
"You... you're refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
"Sister Li, you just told me not to treat you like a fool.
But I want to return the words to you, don't treat me like a fool. You and I both know how much of what you just said was true and how much was false.
There's no need to tear each other apart openly."
Since Ding Yun had said this much, continuing to argue would only make the situation uglier and more thoroughly torn apart, stripping away all dignity and face.
So Li Hongying, with a good sense of self-awareness, uttered a few more harsh words and left reluctantly, but it was clear she wouldn't give up so easily.
However, although she had left, Ding Yun felt that not everything she said was false.
One point she made was quite accurate.
That is, if they didn't believe it, in less than two days, their names would disappear from the hot search, and in less than a week, very few people would still be paying attention to such a small matter.
There was simply too much information circulating now, and information from all over the world could be quickly obtained. Therefore, there was basically no event that could remain on the hot search for a long time.
Nor was there any event that everyone would continue to care about.
To put it bluntly, let alone small stars in the eighteenth tier and small agencies, even entertainment giants and top stars in the industry tearing up contracts would at most cause a stir for three to five days. After that, the heat would entirely depend on the top stars' own fan base. Otherwise, related information would quickly be drowned in the vast ocean of information.
But they had no fans and no major explosive points.
Their appearance on the hot search rankings today was due to luck, coupled with Hu Meimei and others, and likely a considerable amount of money spent.
But such opportunities were rare and couldn't be sought.
Only when something just happened would it generate some heat.
In two or three days, people would probably be too lazy to click on it, let alone reply with comments and support.
So, although some words sounded bleak.
They were indeed facts.
For example, if some matters were simply handled with a cold shoulder, a silent response, and no resolution, there was no need for any outcome. After some time, the general public would naturally forget. Those few who remembered wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble, and ultimately would be submerged in the flow of information.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this turmoil won't succeed, but it will definitely be ugly. However, no matter what, at least I've been somewhat whitewashed.
My professionalism isn't as bad as it was.
It would be best if I could terminate the contract, but if not, it's fine too, as the contract expires in four years anyway.
At worst, I'll spend four years to settle down.
The original host entered the industry early and is still young; she can afford to wait.
In four years, she'll only be twenty-six or twenty-seven."
Although Ding Yun didn't have much hope for the situation stirred up by Hu Meimei and her parents, she herself wasn't worried at all. In fact, seeing her professionalism rise from negative eighteen to negative one made her quite happy.
Coincidentally, her various skills weren't great, so it was good to have some time to improve herself.
However, Ding Yun wasn't doing nothing. To prevent future occurrences.
Not long after Li Hongying left.
She began to "stab her own parents in the back" using a secondary account.
That's right, she neither helped Hu Meimei solidify her evidence chain nor her parents. Instead, she used her secondary account, from the perspective of friends and neighbors, to describe in detail what her parents had done to her, including but not limited to her childhood life, the preference for males, being prevented from attending school, and later demanding and controlling most of the original host's income while living luxuriously themselves.
And the fact that the original host was still renting a place.
She did this for a reason: to lay the groundwork in advance for her parents' preference for males and their harsh treatment of her, thereby highlighting her own pitiable situation.
With this preconceived notion.
And with solid evidence as a foundation.
Later, whether her parents tried to force her into marriage for a bride price, or continued to demand most of her earnings once she could make money again, she would be in an unassailable position.
This was Ding Yun's true objective.
Moreover, after this incident, Ding Yun's image as a pitiable soul, oppressed by the company externally and by her family, parents, and even younger brother internally, was vividly portrayed.
This would not only help her to be successfully whitewashed.
But also garner sympathy from everyone.
Thus, under Ding Yun's manipulation, it wasn't long before not only Jing He经纪公司 was condemned by everyone.
Her parents, along with her younger brother,
Were also cursed by everyone.
They were cursed for preferring males and being bloodsuckers.
Correspondingly, Ding Yun's reputation improved significantly, her fan base increased, and many people even deleted their previous negative comments and replaced them with encouragement for her not to be discouraged, to learn to resist, and that people should never be foolishly filial.
It could be said that after this ordeal.
Except for the fact that she still hadn't successfully terminated her contract.
Ding Yun gained quite a bit. Not only did her reputation improve significantly and her fan base increase, but her professionalism also soared during this period.
When the online public opinion had largely settled down.
And the next step was to see if the lawsuit would be successful.
Ding Yun's professionalism had successfully risen to twelve, and her dedication had smoothly increased from zero to eleven.
At this point, Ding Yun couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the online situation or her parents' affairs anymore. As long as they didn't bother her, she didn't want to make any more trouble.
As for what she wanted to focus on.
It was, of course, to focus on trying out the golden finger.
Because considering professionalism, it was difficult to increase further without continued effort or new works, Ding Yun's main focus in the following period.
Was entirely on how to improve her dedication.
And soon after, she successfully found a method of improvement that was almost cheating: self-hypnosis. Continuously using self-hypnosis and self-suggestion to make herself believe that she loved the profession of being an artist.
Initially, Ding Yun only tried it out of curiosity. Who would have thought that the next day she would find that her dedication on the host detail page had risen to twenty-four? This discovery undoubtedly excited Ding Yun immensely.
So, from then on, she didn't rush to practice her skills. Instead, she spent seven to eight hours a day continuously hypnotizing herself, suggesting to herself that she loved being an artist.
Then her dedication began to skyrocket.
In less than half a month, it had risen from zero to seventy-nine. It was a pity, however, that it seemed to have reached a bottleneck. When the dedication value reached seventy-nine, no matter how much Ding Yun continued with self-hypnosis and suggestion, the numerical value did not increase further.
She didn't know if the hypnosis wasn't thorough enough.
Or if the difficulty increased after that.
