Chapter 168: Misdirect And Blameshift

For the TV station to pick on Cosmos Entertainment, it was obvious that the former thought the latter were pushovers.

If it happened once, it would only happen again. Since compromise would not get them anywhere, Shen Xi would have to be tough.

The two executives in the car came along with Lil Chairman Shen under Chairman Yuan’s orders. Aware that Lil Chairman Shen could not be underestimated based on her looks, the executives were under a lot of stress in each encounter with her.

It was more so today. Lil Chairman Shen would attend important meetings and even though she would not have much to say, every word that came out of her mouth hit home. She was capable, aloof, and overbearing. No one would believe she was only seventeen if they had no idea about her real age.

Lil Chairman Shen was her usual indifferent and domineering self today, with an added air of murderous intent. She was like an undefeated war god marching to war, leaving them awestruck.

With the TV show and its contents all over the place, the quality went downhill. Adding terrible editing in the mix, it was more ads than storyline. Since the viewers were not blind enough to not notice, they called “The Smiling Nation” out to the point the show was trending.

The matter went from bad to worse in a night. Trolls, who had their own hidden agenda, had been waiting for “The Smiling Nation” to make a misstep. They took to various online platforms to smear and slander the production team, giving the show a bad name in response to the TV station’s planned misdirection.

The trolls attacked the quality of “The Smiling Nation”, stating that it was a terrible show to begin with and the early episodes were merely hyped up.

The audience was clear on the broadcast pattern of “The Smiling Nation” and this episode was the polar opposite of the former releases. An episode had a running time of about an hour.

There were some clear-headed fans in the wake of the matter who believed it was an editing issue from the TV station’s part. They had a reputation of terrible editing in the first place.

Nevertheless, having done the shameless editing, the TV station was well prepared to deal with the aftermath. They shifted the blame to the show’s production team.

The viewers went ballistic. If it was not the problem of the TV station’s editing, then the shoot itself was a failure. They ran their mouths and cursed at the director, screenwriter, and actors.

There would not be disappointment without expectations. The higher the expectation, the resentment would only grow when disappointed. The audience thought that there was a high-quality show at last, but it was a joke in the end. Was the production team trying to insult their intelligence with a slippery-slope quality?

Shen Xi tauntingly curled her lips as she read the vicious comments on forums and Weibo of netizens who were up in the middle of the night.

It was a clever way for the TV station to misdirect and blameshift. Well, since they had the nerve and burned bridges in the first place, she should not be blamed for what was coming their way.

It was nine o’clock in the morning.

The TV station began its operation at this hour.

Dressed in a suit, Station Director Hong Tao was looking ruddy as he entered his office. His breath was taken away at the sight of a girl sitting on the sofa.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, beautiful but carried an aloof and cold bearing.

“Hello, Director Hong. I’m Cloud Seven, the screenwriter of “The Smiling Nation”.” Shen Xi got up and politely greeted him.

Even though the man might be a scoundrel, Shen Xi did not forget her manners.

“Cloud Seven, please take a seat.” Hong Tao was smiling in the face, but he did not take her seriously. He then faced the door to give an order. “Ms. Li, please bring in some tea. Don’t keep our guest waiting.”

Ms. Li, the secretary, had called him to inform that someone from Cosmos Entertainment was here.

Here he thought to expect some big shot, but a little brat showed up instead.
