Chapter 1567 An Earth-Shatteringly Bad Review

Su Bei’s Weibo post was published under Su Lu’s name. After it was posted, it triggered a heated discussion on the internet.

The news that Xiao Ming had violated female staff members would occasionally spread in the past.

However, they were all treated as nonsense in the industry. There was no need for him to refute the rumors himself. All kinds of movie fans would spontaneously stand up to defend him.

This time was no exception.

[What’s wrong with Su Lu? Instead of managing Nirvana Entertainment well, he wants to push the blame on Director Xiao!]

[How many years has it been since those rumors came about? Su Lu is bringing them up again? Isn’t this matter over?]

[Director Xiao’s works are filled with human care and the brilliance of human nature. He’s such a director, yet you’re telling me that he’s harming women? Hahahahaha, this is the funniest joke of the year!]

[To be honest, Director Xiao can have any woman he wants. Previously, the King of Gambling’s daughter professed her love for him in a high-profile manner, and the Best Actor’s sister has always publicly expressed her fondness for him. But Director Xiao just laughed it off. He has long dedicated his life to the film industry. How can he be so slanderous?]

[Is Su Lu so bored that he can’t think of anything else except gossip?]

[Anyway, I won’t believe a word of this! Director Xiao, I’m still looking forward to your new work!]

[That’s right. Let’s promote Director Xiao’s new work, Two Cities!]

[However, Su Lu isn’t someone who likes to cause trouble. I’ll wait and see.]

[I suggest that you pay more attention to the artistes in your company and don’t get involved. Or you can hold one or two more art exhibitions. Just because you’re talented in some aspects doesn’t mean you’re capable in others! Stay away from other people’s lives!]

Xiao Ming also replied casually: [The innocent know their place.]

Naturally, he gained a large number of loyal fans who spoke up for him.

Most people did not believe Su Bei.

Seeing Xiao Ming’s response, Su Bei felt that something was wrong.

She immediately called Hua Cuo. “Fourth Sister, how’s the preparation for the lawsuit? How’s the situation with those women?”

“Su Bei, you have to be mentally prepared. Now, they’ve all retreated and don’t want to sue him anymore. They just want to accept Xiao Ming’s private compensation,” Hua Cuo said as if she was used to it. Her tone was calm.

Su Bei gripped her phone tightly. “So they don’t want justice? Are they going to pretend that nothing happened? Everyone is working hard to fight for them, but they’re giving up just like that?”

Hua Cuo said helplessly, “They’ve changed their statements. We want Xiao Ming to be convicted, but we don’t have enough evidence. If we lose their testimonies, we’ll definitely lose this battle.”

Su Bei put down her phone in frustration.

Why?

So many people had put their efforts into this, but they amounted to nothing in the end. Was everything going to be foiled now?

Xu Zhiqin also heard the news. When she came to talk to Su Bei, she was very careful.

“President Su, are you alright?” Xu Zhiqin asked. She knew best how much Su Bei had contributed to this matter. She had rejected all movie and event invitations and handed the matters of Nirvana Entertainment to other parties. She had done her best to help these weak women get what they deserved.

However, these women all changed sides overnight.

Their betrayal didn’t seem to have hurt Su Bei, but they had all turned into sharp blades that stabbed her.

“It’s okay. I want to go over and persuade them to see if there’s any hope.” Su Bei regained her confidence. She didn’t want to give up, nor did she want the wicked to continue to be carefree and let the vulnerable be threatened.

Xu Zhiqin replied, “I’ll go with you. Let’s see if we can do anything else.”

Su Bei and Xu Zhiqin arrived at their destination. These women were currently in the office building that Hua Cuo had specially rented.

After they entered, these timid women stood up. They seemed to be afraid of seeing Su Bei and not being able to face her gaze, so they lowered their heads.

These women were all of different ages. Some were in their 20s, while some were carrying children and milk bottles.

Some of them rubbed their hands nervously and explained in a low voice, “President Su, I’m getting married soon. If this continues, I’m afraid that in this lifetime...”

They were afraid that they would be haunted by this matter for the rest of their lives and would never find a suitable partner in the future.

To women, being violated was not only a dark memory they had to bear, but it would also accompany them for the rest of their lives and become a topic of conversation.

Now, their news had already been posted on Weibo, and they were being slandered. No one knew what would happen next.

“President Su, my mother is seriously ill. I don’t want her to be affected by my matters anymore. I’m sorry. I accepted the 500,000 yuan that Xiao Ming privately compensated me for my mother’s surgery.” The woman lowered her head, and her voice became softer and softer.

Xiao Ling also walked over and said, “President Su, my sister said that she has to apologize too. My mother’s heart isn’t good to begin with, and she doesn’t want my mother to be agitated. Our father passed away early, and it was my mother who raised us. My mother had a huge reaction to this matter, so she can’t...”

Su Bei originally had a lot to say. She was originally lamenting the misfortune and was angry at the women for not fighting for this chance. However, when she saw the situation in front of her, she swallowed her words.

“I’m sorry.” There were low sobs coming from all directions.

The pressure behind those voices was heartbreaking.

Hua Cuo was sitting at a desk not far away. Obviously, she had already said everything she needed to say.

“Fourth Sister, what can we do now?”

“We can only withdraw the lawsuit,” Hua Cuo said. “There’s no need to continue the lawsuit without witnesses. Besides, the compensation Xiao Ming gave them has already been paid out. Many of them need the money.”

The harsh reality of their lives made them more willing to accept compensation than to accept justice. Besides, if this continued, they would face more groundless doubts, slander, and overwhelming negative comments.
