You Asked Me to Clear Yang Mi's Name, but I Turned the Whole Entertainment Industry Upside Down

Yang Mi is being attacked across the internet. The top three trending topics are: #YangMiDrinksWithClients#, #YangMiBulliesNewcomers#, and #YangMiActsLikeADiva#. In the conference room at Xinghui Media, Sister Zhou pushes a tablet toward Yang Mi and says with a smile, "Mimi, the company has put a lot into developing you. Sign this supplemental agreement, and we'll handle the scandal for you." The agreement calls for a five-year renewal, cuts her share from 10% to 5%, and raises the termination penalty to 120 million. Yang Mi bites her pen cap, her fingers turning white. In the corner of the conference room, the other artists keep their heads down and look at their phones. No one dares to look at her.

At a coffee shop, Shen Jin has three tablets in front of him. He is looking at smear pieces, an interview video of Yang Mi from three years ago, and Xinghui Media's financial reports for the past six months. In three seconds, he figures it out: the smear pieces all have the same writing style, the work of the professional online troll outfit Blue Whale Studio. Their source points to the team of rival star Chu Yao. He notices that in the interview video, Yang Mi bites her pen cap whenever she's nervous, exactly like Shen Nuan.
