Ding Yun left without any psychological burden.
However, Hu Meimei, who had finally figured out what to say next, emerged from the restroom only to find Ding Yun gone. She immediately let out a hysterical roar and was then escorted out of the coffee shop by the owner.
If she hadn't managed to control her emotions and resisted, she might have ended up on the social news.
For instance, "So-and-so threw a tantrum in a coffee shop, possibly having a mental episode. The owner failed to persuade her, and a scuffle ensued during the shoving, with mediators present."
As for Ding Yun, who had left early!
Upon returning home, she began to meticulously consider how to utilize the information brought by Hu Meimei, and her intention to completely break ties with the company and sue.
She aimed to secure the maximum possible benefit for herself.
If possible.
It would be even better if she could directly terminate her contract and turn things around.
However, her plan was not yet finalized.
Suddenly, there was a series of knocks on the door.
This familiar sound made Ding Yun's body tremble uncontrollably, her muscle fibers contracting. This was the original owner's instinctive reaction to the sound, indicating how familiar and fearful she was of it.
The next second, Ding Yun realized that the person knocking was likely the original owner's mother. Ding Yun was not yet ready to completely sever ties with them, so she thought about it and then got up to open the door.
She then saw her father, her mother, and her younger brother.
The family of three stood outside the door.
"You..."
Just as Zhou E was about to unleash a tirade, Xu Dayang, standing beside her, quickly tugged her arm and said with a smile, "We were a little worried about you, so we specifically came to see you. Also, we heard that the company you signed with is completely abandoning you. What exactly is going on?
Tell us if anything happened.
We're family after all.
We definitely won't abandon you in your time of need!"
As they spoke, the three of them entered the room and pulled Ding Yun to sit on the sofa with them.
They began to talk about family bonds earnestly.
At the same time, they tried their best to show their concern.
Since Ding Yun didn't know what they truly wanted, she cooperatively chatted with Xu Dayang while they hadn't completely fallen out.
As they talked, Xu Dayang gradually revealed his intentions. The general flow was to first emphasize that they were family, that helping each other through difficulties was natural, and that they knew what happened online previously wasn't their daughter's fault.
Then, they blamed the company for being bad, trash.
They were as stingy as Zhou Bapí when it came to profit sharing.
And they were quicker to flee than anyone else when problems arose.
By the end of their conversation, Xu Dayang expressed his anger, stating that this matter could not be let go. He argued that these actions were clearly forced by the company, and now their daughter was being blamed while the company remained spotless.
He insisted on seeking justice for his daughter.
Hearing this, Ding Yun finally understood her biological father's intentions, which were likely similar to Hu Meimei's.
They wanted to use her to achieve their own goals.
Most importantly, a significant portion of their objectives overlapped, with the core being contract termination.
However, for Hu Meimei, the greater concern was her own contract termination without penalty. Xu Dayang, on the other hand, was more concerned with his daughter terminating her contract and continuing to be his cash cow.
At this point, Ding Yun's plan, which had only been a vague idea and not yet decided, finally took shape due to her father's words.
She decided she had to cooperate with them as much as possible.
Ideally, she wanted them to suffer mutual destruction.
Then she could reap the benefits.
Therefore, Ding Yun immediately and cooperatively expressed how touched she was, how she hadn't expected her family to still care about her, and that they weren't as cold-blooded as she thought.
Afterward, she directly asked her father what he wanted her to do.
She also promised to cooperate fully.
Finally, Ding Yun not only very cooperatively printed out her recent hospital check-up reports and gave them to Xu Dayang,
but also provided him with the contact information of several reporters.
Following this, Xu Dayang busied himself with efforts to speak out, accusing the management company of its exploitative practices and demanding contract termination.
When Hu Meimei came to find her again.
Ding Yun's attitude was much gentler than last time.
She also cooperatively provided whatever the other party asked for, doing her best to equip her with sufficient evidence to accuse the company, thus increasing Hu Meimei's slim advantage.
What followed was waiting and fermentation.
Although the company involved this time was not a large one, and the celebrity was not a big star, the absurd 1:9 profit-sharing contract and the company's forceful control over its artists' personal freedom, ordering them to act according to the persona they dictated, still attracted considerable attention from onlookers and indignant youths whose passion had not yet waned.
As a result, related topics quickly gained traction.
Before long, it even made it onto the trending searches.
The process might have involved some trending topics being removed, but fortunately, there were many onlookers and people willing to speak out. After half a day, related trending topics continuously pushed their way onto the trending charts, and Ding Yun herself became the center of public discussion.
After all, she was the one who had suffered the most control.
She was also the one who was most harmed by the persona.
Other cute persona, obedient child persona, and top student persona, at least, didn't harm the body.
But the foodie persona truly did harm the body.
Especially after her medical records were uploaded, not only did many fans who had unfollowed her now feel that Ding Yun was pitiful, but many bystanders also felt that this girl was definitely not acting willingly and had been forced to do so under the company's control and threats.
Many people began to collectively boycott Jinghe Company.
And they offered suggestions.
They even collectively discussed which charges would be most crippling to sue Jinghe Entertainment Company with.
However, at the same time, Jinghe Entertainment Company was not to be outdone. They quickly issued statements and explanations. Of course, these were only their public actions. Privately, the company immediately dispatched legal department staff and several agents to find the individuals involved in this matter.
They hoped to resolve the root cause.
And quell the situation.
Others might require investigation to identify, but as the central figure of this controversy, Ding Yun clearly did not need to be investigated. Therefore, less than two hours after the relevant news hit the trending list, Agent Sister Li, along with her entourage, cornered Ding Yun at her home.
