Seeing the rumors spread like this, Shenwei Company couldn't stand it anymore and directly gave her two options.
One was to apologize live, and the other was to be directly put on the shelf.
This news was like a thunderbolt out of the blue, stunning Shen Wei completely. "Why should I apologize to her?"
It was true that she had faked her academic qualifications, but how could she apologize to that woman?
Shen Wei hated Ji Xiaoli to the core and was absolutely unwilling to bow her head.
The agent's voice sounded extremely cold. "The company said these are the only two options. You choose one."
"I'm a first - tier star of the company! You can't treat me like this! Didn't you say that if I accompany... you would help me solve it?" Shen Wei would never allow herself to bow her head to Ji Xiaoli.
Hearing this, the agent sneered and scolded her head - on. "Wake up. Do you still think you're that big star? You're already the target of online ridicule. Try calling Mr. Zhou. See if you can get through. He's already hooked up with another young female model. And Mr. Chen has said that he doesn't want to be bothered by your affairs anymore!"
With so much negative publicity, if she didn't apologize, was she waiting to be completely finished?
Shen Wei was stunned for a moment by the scolding but still felt reluctant. "It's all Ji Xiaoli's fault. She's the one who ruined me. How can I apologize to her?"
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. Before she met Ji Xiaoli, she was a glamorous big star. But after meeting Ji Xiaoli, she was first humiliated by Zheng Nanfeng, then kicked out of the crew and had her scandal exposed. Now she even had to apologize in person. How could Shen Wei bear this?
The agent had been with her for a long time. Although Shen Wei didn't say it out loud, the agent could guess most of what she was thinking.
"Shen Wei, I'm telling you, stop daydreaming. I'm warning you one last time. If you don't apologize, just wait to be dealt with by the company."
If it weren't for the little bit of value Shen Wei still had, the agent would have kicked this woman out long ago.
Shen Wei, who had been immersed in her own emotions, finally came to her senses. She understood what the agent meant very well.
It was like an ultimatum. If she continued to be so stubborn, there would really be no way out for her.
After all, Shen Wei's reputation was so bad. If things continued like this, it would even affect the company's shares.
Shen Wei had no choice but to hold back her anger and tried to soften her voice. "I just got emotional just now. I'll apologize right away. You must put in a good word for me in front of the company. I really know I was wrong."
Only then was the agent a little satisfied. After giving a beating, it was time to offer a carrot.
"Shen Wei, you're after all a rare big star in our company. After the storm passes, the company will still support you like before." After all, this woman looked okay, and there were some people who wanted to sleep with her.
Shen Wei sneered in her heart. She would be a fool if she really believed that.
She wasn't unaware that this company always put interests first. If it weren't for her remaining value, it probably wouldn't even say such nice words.
But since the agent had given both sides a way out, Shen Wei wasn't stupid enough not to take it.
She tried to make her voice even softer. "Don't worry. I'll go live right away and apologize to Ji Xiaoli."
When she said the last sentence, she was almost spitting blood out of anger.
After all, she was also afraid of being finished. If the company really gave up on her, she wouldn't be able to live a normal life.
Seeing that she had bowed her head, the agent immediately bought a recommended slot from the live - streaming company.
"Apologize sincerely. I've arranged everything for you. If you do a good job in this apology, you might even be able to successfully whitewash yourself."
Knowing that Shen Wei was still a bit reluctant, the agent added another sentence. "Remember to play the victim. The more pitiful you seem, the better."
Shen Wei nodded and agreed to everything, looking extremely obedient.
The agent really thought she had admitted her mistake and specially bought a hot search on Weibo.
Thanks to the power of money, "Shen Wei's Sincere Apology" immediately became a hot topic across the network.
When it was time for the live broadcast, Shen Wei showed up as promised.
There were quite a few netizens in the live - streaming room. Besides the fans of Shen Wei and Ji Xiaoli, there were also many onlookers.
The recent collapse of Shen Wei's persona had caused quite a stir, especially the fact that she tried to slap Ji Xiaoli in the face but ended up being slapped herself. It was just too exciting.
So now, when they heard that Shen Wei was going to apologize, many onlookers came to watch the show.
To help her successfully whitewash herself, the company specially gave Shen Wei a very haggard makeup look, which seemed plain yet pitiable, making her look like a vulnerable party.
As soon as the live - streaming room opened, Shen Wei's fans began to feel sorry for her.
Fan A of Shen Wei: Weiwei has been persecuted like this by you. Can you stop blackening her?
Fan B of Shen Wei: Weiwei, don't be afraid. We're all on your side.
Seeing these words, Shen Wei immediately looked extremely fragile. "Thank you for still being by my side. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do when I was slandered by villains."
It seemed like a response to her fans, but in fact, she was insinuating that Ji Xiaoli and her fans were villains.
When these brainless fans and their idol spoke, other passers - by couldn't stand it anymore.
Passer - by A: This is called getting what one deserves. When Shen Wei hired online trolls to blacken Ji Xiaoli before, why didn't you say stop blackening her?
Passer - by B: Exactly. Sure enough, fans are as double - standard as their idols.
Seeing these comments, Shen Wei was so angry that her teeth were itching. The apology speech she had prepared was thrown out of the window.
In a fit of anger, Shen Wei wasn't satisfied yet and continued, "I advise some fans to open your eyes. Your idol isn't a good person either. She's just a lucky person. Do you think her academic qualifications are real?"
Shen Wei was extremely jealous of Ji Xiaoli. Seeing someone say such things in her live - streaming room, she just exploded.
She said these words in an attempt to deliberately attract the attention of passers - by.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Ji Xiaoli's fans were even more speechless.
Fan of Ji Xiaoli: But if I remember correctly, it was you who created a persona of having a high - level academic qualification and then got slapped in the face, right?
Fan B of Ji Xiaoli: Exactly. Xiaoli outshines you by a mile.
These words made Shen Wei choke for a moment, and then she continued to act like a victim. "Don't say anything here. I lost in the variety show because I'm not as good as others. After all, I'm not the producer of the show. I can't get as many answers as I want."
In front of the screen, Ji Xiaoli was a bit speechless when she saw this scene.
The evidence was so solid, yet Shen Wei was still insinuating about her here.
Not only did she think so, but other passers - by also thought the same.
Passer - by A: But I remember that some of the questions were even set by your fans, Shen Wei.
Passer - by B: It's ridiculous. All those question banks were completely public. How could she have the nerve to say that Ji Xiaoli cheated?
Passer - by C: I'm really laughing. Shen Wei's persona has collapsed, and now she's trying to drag others down.
Seeing the netizens' sarcasm, Shen Wei's face turned ashen.
The system also quietly popped up.
[Player, as expected of you. Now Shen Wei's hatred value has reached 100%]
