The next day.

In the morning.

In the office in the courtyard house, Zhang Ye woke up.

He turned on his cell phone to check the time and saw that it was still pretty early. But the next second, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Yao Jiancai.

"Old Yao, you couldn't have caught me at a better time. I had just turned on my phone for a few seconds when your call came in."

"What are you even talking about? I've been trying to get through to you for the entire night!"

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"What do you think is the matter? You even dare to go against Zhao Chipeng?"

"Haha, why?"

"Did you have too much to drink?"

"You're the one who drank. I haven't had a drink in many days."

"You're just great. I'm impressed. Did you go to sleep after you posted the short story? You can sleep real tight, can't you? Hurry up and take a look. Go check on Weibo and the news too. Do you know how chaotic it is right now? With your scolding, the people are all following your lead. Zhao Chipeng and those other sponsors who spoke in support of him have all been scolded like dogs. They're even getting called the Zhao family's dogs as per what you described in your short story. The entire matter has spun out of control, do you know just what the situation in the entertainment circle is? As long as they're in show business, everyone was totally shocked by what you did last night! You really don't seem to care if this matter blows up or not, do you? You're the only rascal who dares to come forward and speak up at a time like this, heh. But coming back to the original point, it really does feel quite good."

"Right?"

"I'm going to make an alt account to have a go at him as well."

"Ah? An alt?"

"Of course! Do you think I'm like you? Zhao Chipeng owns 10% of my talent agency's stocks, do you think I will dare to openly go against him like that? That I don't have to earn a living anymore?"

"In any case, you guys don't have to worry about it."

"It's not like we can do anything even if we care."

Zhang Ye spent the entire morning answering calls.

He hadn't even gotten out of bed yet and dozens of calls came in one after another.

Ning Lan.

Xiaodong.

Zhang Xia.

Fang Weihong.

Chen Guang.

Many of his friends called.

They were either concerned about him or called to praise him for what he did. All kinds of things were said.

The news also gradually reported about it.

"Zhang Ye's new story gets published!"

"Zhang Ye suddenly posts a short story last night, seemingly questioning the entertainment circle?"

"The literary world has high praise for 'A Madman's Diary'!"

"A storm approaches!"

"Zhao Chipeng turns off his Weibo comments!"

"The mysterious silence in the entertainment circle!"

It could be seen that many in the media who reported about this event did not choose to include any radical headlines. All of it sounded very conservative and restrained, and there was no mention of the photos of Zhao Chipeng and Han Di's wife. There was only a brief description of the events that took place yesterday.

Many celebrities remained silent!

A lot of the professionals remained tight-lipped!

There was a very subtle atmosphere in the industry, but it could be perceived from what was going on here!

Due to the fact that they were faced with the people's rage, nobody dared to speak up in opposition at a time like this. That was what "A Madman's Diary" was so good at!

…

Later that morning.

At the entrance of Tianfang Entertainment's headquarters.

Zhao Chipeng came to work with a dark look. When the secretary opened the car door for him to step out, the passersby who saw him were immediately enraged!

"Look!"

"Zhao Chipeng!"

"It's Old Dog Zhao!"

"Ptui!"'

"That bastard!"

"Can you be any more wicked than you are!"

Everyone was pointing at him and scolding!

Zhao Chipeng was angered by this and pointed back at them. "Who do you all think you're scolding!"

"You, of course!"

"The old dog of the Zhao family!"

"You're such a huge bully!"

"Do you really think that no one can curb you?"

A lot of onlookers had gathered and were standing there to confront Zhao Chipeng!

In the end, it was his company's staff that came out to guard and escort him inside!

Zhao Chipeng was furious. When he got inside, he was still pointing at the people outside and saying, "Call the police, immediately! How dare they make a scene outside my company! They're too audacious!"

In the president's office.

The secretary said sweating, "President Zhao, how should we handle this?"

Zhao Chipeng said furiously, "What's the situation?"historical

The secretary said somberly, "It's not good. Your Weibo, the company's website, and even the artists under us are all being bombarded with scoldings. They have too many people on their side, so many that even the public has joined them. We can't keep them under control. I went to a few media outlets to buy some reports during the night, but they seemed to be hesitating and didn't dare to run any more reports at a time like this. They said that they were afraid that the public would be outraged, so they rejected our requests."

"What are they even thinking!" Zhao Chipeng banged the table.

There was a knock on the door. Several of the vice presidents and high ranking company executives arrived.

"President Zhao!"

"What should we do?"

"The news has blown up."

"We have to quickly do PR!"

"We can't leave Zhang Ye alone anymore. We have to rein him in!"

Zhao Chipeng thought about it for a while and said, "It's not the right time. We have to wait until this blows over before we do anything to him. Let them scold all they want for now, it's not like we will suffer any losses because of it. Do they think that their scolding can bring down this building of mine? How stupid!"

Everyone thought the same as well. They really had not expected things to deteriorate to such a state. Zhang Ye's popularity was really too high and his influence too great. It was completely unexpected that he would stick his nose into this affair, as no one in the entertainment industry would dare to challenge their sponsors like this! This person was really a total oddity. He was a through and through lunatic! But currently, all they could do was endure it. They could only accept it as there was nothing else they could do. Public opinion was surging against them, so they had to tuck their tails between their legs and behave. They needed to wait until the storm blew over, perhaps in a day or two. The common folk couldn't possibly scold them every day and not get on with their lives, right? Besides, it wasn't going to be any use even if they carried on scolding them. It wasn't like they would lose sleep over it.

The tone had been set.

The upper management felt relieved.

It was close to 9:30 AM, which was when more bad news caught them by surprise. It was a news that dumbfounded Zhao Chipeng and the other company executives!

"This is not good!"

"What happened?"

"The stock market has opened!"

"So what?"

"Our stock price plunged the moment the market opened!"

"What?!"

A call auction!

Stock market opening!

Tianfang Entertainment's stock price plunged as large multilateral trades triggered a panic selling!

Zhao Chipeng's expression finally showed a visible change. "Goddammit!"

Every one of the company's upper management's faces paled. They finally felt it, they finally knew what impact this issue had brought to them!

And they still thought that they wouldn't lose any sleep over this?

They already had their arms broken by it!

How could it be like this!

It was only a short story!

It was just a work of fiction!

How could it have caused something like this!

The company's upper management was getting anxious and immediately convened a shareholders' meeting to discuss what countermeasures to take. Everyone came up with a suggestion to handle the problem, but their faces were also visibly shaken and fearful!

And it was right at this moment that a loud noise sounded from downstairs!

That familiar tune dumbfounded the company shareholders in the meeting room!

Deng, deng deng deng deng!

Deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng!

Deng, deng deng deng deng, deng deng!

"The vast horizon is my love!

"At the foot of rolling green hills flowers bloom!"

Zhao Chipeng was enraged and called out, "What is going on! Go and find out!"

The staff at Tianfang Entertainment's headquarters couldn't keep working, because they could all hear the music that was playing from downstairs. That brainwashing tune left all of them a little wide-eyed. Some of them even started tapping their feet to the rhythm unconsciously!

The findings were reported back very quickly!

There were a 100 aunties plaza dancing at the main entrance of the company!

Zhao Chipeng nearly fainted in anger!

Plaza dancing?

Plaza dancing at the entrance of my company?

This is a business district!

It's working hours right now!

"Call the police!"

"Yes!"

"Quickly call the police and chase them away!"

When the police arrived and found that they were facing 100 aunties, the officers were all at their wits' end. They couldn't engage them physically or verbally, and were forced to beg them for close to half an hour before they would leave.

When the police left, the shareholders' meeting continued.

Zhao Chipeng said, "As I was saying, the stock price now…"

Suddenly, music played strongly again!

Deng, deng deng deng deng!

Deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng!

Deng, deng deng deng deng, deng deng!

Zhao Chipeng said angrily, "What is this! What is it again!"

Soon, the secretary came running back with a miserable look on his face. "President Zhao, it's the plaza dancers again!"

Zhao Chipeng said in consternation, "Didn't the police already chase them away?"

The secretary said nervously, "The aunties who were chased away earlier were from the western neighborhood. The ones outside now are the aunties from the eastern neighborhood!"

Zhao Chipeng smashed his glass. "Call the police!"

The police came back again and managed to get the aunties to leave in a civil manner after much talking.

In the meeting room.

Zhao Chipeng heaved a sigh of relief. "Let's carry on with the meeting. As I was saying, we have to ensure that we maintain the good relationship between the SARFT's leaders and us. We mustn't…" Then he stopped talking!

A female executive put her head in her hands!

A vice president had a look downstairs!

The rest of the company executives felt like they were on the verge of collapse!

A familiar sound played again!

Deng, deng deng deng deng!

Deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng!

Deng, deng deng deng deng, deng deng!

Zhao Chipeng flew into a rage and yelled, "What is it again!"

The secretary ran in with a head dripping with sweat. "The aunties from the northern neighborhood have come as well!"

A female vice president said angrily, "The eastern, western, and northern neighborhoods have all come? Where are those from the southern neighborhood then!"

As she spoke, a melody played from the opposite direction!

"You are my-a small-a, small apple!

"However much I love you, it'll never be too much!

"Your small blushing face warms my heart!

"It lights my fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!"

At the company's rear entrance!

The aunties from the southern neighborhood arrived too!

The female vice president was floored!

Zhao Chipeng saw red!

They were doing this on purpose!

They were obviously doing this on purpose!

How could they carry on working like this!
