Subsequently, those employees began to use various alt accounts to post Wang Shu's scandals.
They also started leaking information in various gossip groups.
Within a few hours, these revelations rapidly multiplied and began to spread.
Wang Shu was once again pushed to the forefront.
"Boss, something's happened! You're trending again!"
Wang Shu and his entourage had just returned to the company, and Wang Shu was about to go to sleep.
Du Xiaomin, looking anxious, walked into the room holding her phone and said.
"What's the matter? Isn't it normal for me to trend?"
Wang Shu said, bewildered. Today, he not only defeated Gou Sheng Wenshan, but his movie was also released simultaneously. Isn't it normal to trend?
"No, it's that someone is accusing you of soliciting prostitution!"
Du Xiaomin said, her ears blushing, looking at Wang Shu.
"What? Say that again?"
Wang Shu was stunned. When had he ever done such a thing?
This was pure slander against him!
"Boss, are you being deliberately smeared?"
Du Xiaomin asked Wang Shu, looking confused.
"How could I possibly do such a thing? Let me see your phone!"
Wang Shu directly took the phone from Du Xiaomin and then looked at the lengthy post.
Wang Shu scanned it briefly. The post was at least a thousand words long, narrating the entire process of Wang Shu engaging in illegal transactions.
It even included several AI-generated "bed photos" of Wang Shu.
"Good heavens, can people actually believe this stuff?"
Wang Shu laughed directly. Do people who spread rumors nowadays disregard the legal consequences?
If that's the case, he wouldn't mind sending a few of them to jail.
Subsequently, Wang Shu directly used his own account to repost the trending Weibo post.
"Brothers, please share this. I want to see my business partner!"
"Holy cow, awesome! Brother Shu is confronting them head-on!"
"These pictures are too ridiculous. My dog could synthesize better than this!"
"Hahaha, another lengthy post. These people only know how to write long stories when they spread rumors. There's no solid evidence."
"Reposted. I also want to see who the business partner is!"
After Wang Shu reposted the Weibo post with his own account.
His fans immediately followed suit, reposting it.
And the fans trusted Wang Shu immensely because his actions clearly showed that a clear conscience fears no accusation.
However, they were also shocked that Wang Shu would personally get involved and repost.
Unlike other celebrities who would have their studios send out lawyer's letters, while the celebrity themselves would pretend to be dead, only to resurface after the storm passed.
"Boss, is this really appropriate?"
Du Xiaomin asked softly after watching Wang Shu's actions.
"What's inappropriate about it? A clear conscience fears no accusation. I want these rumormongers to go to jail."
Wang Shu said directly.
He understood the laws of this world, which were similar to Earth's.
However, here, a rumor needs to be reposted more than five thousand times to be classified as spreading rumors that constitute a crime, and the more it is reposted, the heavier the sentence.
Therefore, Wang Shu directly used his own account to repost, making the other party feel the taste of being locked up.
After Wang Shu's repost, within minutes, the number of reposts exceeded fifty thousand.
"Supervisor, the post we just published has already broken fifty thousand reposts!"
In Guo Jinming's studio, an employee said proudly.
"Fifty thousand? So quickly?"
The plump supervisor walked to the employee's workstation with a surprised expression and saw the number of reposts.
"Good. You'll be made permanent this month, and the boss will surely reward you!"
The plump supervisor patted the employee's shoulder with satisfaction.
"Thank you, supervisor. I will work hard!"
The employee said excitedly. He hadn't even been interning for a week before creating a post that was reposted over fifty thousand times.
Being made permanent ahead of schedule and receiving the boss's commendation was simply too fortunate!
...
That night, Wang Shu went directly to the police station to file a report.
After receiving Wang Shu's report, the police immediately launched an investigation.
That very night, the IP address of the post was traced to an office building in Shanghai.
Then, through meticulous investigation, they finally traced it back to Guo Jinming's studio.
The next morning, Guo Jinming was still sound asleep in the Earl's Hotel.
Guo Jinming was holding another man in his arms.
Both were naked on the bed.
Upon closer inspection, the man was a popular "cream boy" from a few days prior.
However, just as the two were sleeping soundly, a rapid knocking sound suddenly broke the silence.
This made Guo Jinming tremble and immediately woke him up.
He then frowned and walked to the door.
"Who is it!"
Guo Jinming shouted.
However, there was no reply, but the knocking continued.
Guo Jinming became annoyed and directly opened the door to give them a piece of his mind.
To his surprise, as soon as he opened the door, he saw several uniformed police officers standing outside.
"Mr. Guo, you are suspected of defamation and slander. Please cooperate with our investigation!"
"What? I'm being accused of defamation and slander?"
Guo Jinming was stunned. Suddenly, he remembered what he had said last night.
He had apparently said he would expose Wang Shu's scandals.
Could it be because of this?
"Officer, are you sure? I wasn't even at the company last night!"
Guo Jinming tried to emphasize that he was not at the company last night.
"We found a lot of relevant evidence on your company's employee computers, and your employees have personally admitted that you instructed them to do this! So, you'll have to come with us!"
After hearing this, Guo Jinming's face instantly turned grim.
But he had no choice but to put on his clothes and leave with the police.
The "cream boy" lying in bed was already trembling with fear.
He never expected to wake up early in the morning to see Guo Jinming being taken away.
...
The next morning, Wang Shu was also summoned to the police station.
He had received notification that the perpetrator had been apprehended.
He was asked if he wished to press charges.
Wang Shu immediately decided to press charges and also hired a very capable lawyer through Lu Nan.
When Guo Jinming heard that Wang Shu intended to sue him, he trembled uncontrollably.
As Wang Shu filed the lawsuit, the media also took notice of the situation.
They swarmed the entrance, waiting to interview Wang Shu.
This time, Wang Shu did not avoid the media but strode out of the police station's main gate.
"Mr. Wang Shu, we want to know how you will respond to Guo Jinming's defamation and slander this time?"
"Mr. Wang Shu, we want to know if what Director Guo said is true? What are your thoughts on these matters?"
"Mr. Wang Shu..."
"I reiterate, not a single person who defamed me will escape accountability, no matter who they are!"
Wang Shu said, word by word, into the media's cameras.
He then got into his car and left.
"Brother Wang Shu, I heard you sent that Guo Jinming fellow to jail?"
On the way back, Chen Bo called to ask.
"He's only detained for now, but I've already decided to sue. He's definitely going to jail!"
Wang Shu said directly.
"Thank you for your guidance yesterday, Director Chen. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that Guo Jinming was slandering me!"
Wang Shu said directly.
Last night, after this incident occurred, Chen Bo had contacted him and provided him with clues about Guo Jinming.
This was why he was able to bring Guo Jinming to justice in such a short period.
"What are you thanking me for? We're on the same side now. If he harms you, he harms me. He deserves to go to jail!"
Chen Bo said directly.
He was extremely displeased with Guo Jinming.
A so-called youth literature writer who entered the industry halfway, and he was making films while creating all sorts of messy things, ruining the good market environment.
He had once watched Guo Jinming's films and didn't know how to review them.
Lacking any artistic merit, the plot logic was fragmented, and the characters' intelligence was extremely low.
The entire film was filled with the melodramatic plots of Korean dramas. He didn't know how anyone could come up with this stuff.
Without ten years of cerebral thrombosis, one couldn't come up with such things.
Both were young people, and Wang Shu's talent and wit were streets ahead of this guy.
Now that this guy was sent to jail by Wang Shu, Chen Bo felt like he had vented some of his anger.
"Notify everyone that we're having a company team-building event today. Let's open champagne to celebrate!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Bo said to his assistant.
"Huh?"
The assistant was stunned for a few seconds.
"I said I'm treating everyone to champagne today!"
Chen Bo repeated.
The assistant then excitedly ran out to announce the news.
A week passed.
Wang Shu received the summons for the lawsuit and had his lawyer represent him in court.
Meanwhile, the box office for "Kung Fu Youth" had already surpassed the 2 billion mark.
For Chen Bo, this was a qualitative leap.
In the past, his films' box office receipts were at most around 500 to 600 million.
He never expected that in less than ten days, the box office would break the 2 billion mark.
This rate of box office growth was among the top even in Longguo.
With over 2 billion in box office, the film would earn at least 700 to 800 million in distribution fees.
This meant that his film was essentially a huge success.
"Wang Shu, you are truly incredible!"
Looking at the box office numbers, Chen Bo couldn't help but sigh again.
He knew that this success was entirely due to Wang Shu.
Without Wang Shu's script, without Wang Shu's brilliant performance.
Even without Wang Shu's influence, this movie might not have made any ripples at all.
