“How do you know all this?” Emma asked as the surrounding reporters began to grow interested.
The short-haired girl laughed and replied, “Because President Fan’s secretary, Brother Wei, knew that I was poor, so he asked me to partake in this scheme. He also promised to give me a good reward.”
“But, I need to clarify that I didn’t throw any eggs nor stones at you. I was, at most, only responsible for stirring up the crowd.”
“That’s all I know. What do you plan to do to me?”
“I will of course stick to what I’ve promised and not sue you,” Emma replied. “But, I need to warn you that there are some people that you can’t afford to offend and that things don’t always go as planned.”
“To be honest, I was ‘tricked’ into coming here. If I had known that this was what I had to do to get money, I definitely wouldn’t have gotten involved.”
After speaking, the short-haired woman walked over to the police and offered to reveal everything honestly.
The group of fans were quickly taken away by the police as the reporters gathered around Emma and stuck their microphones into her face.
“Emma, can you exp**ss your thoughts regarding today’s violent incident?”
“Is President Fan the person that’s producing ‘The Pirate Doctor’?”
“Regarding President Fan’s attacks, how are you planning to strike back?”
As she looked into the sea of cameras, Emma remained calm. Standing straight, she said to the reporters, “I never knew that President Fan was such a vengeful person. Just because Luo Sheng wouldn’t act in ‘The Pirate Doctor’, he actually got this angry?”
“I will definitely pursue this matter until the end. Otherwise, others will follow fit and think that I am easy to pick on.”
“Superstar Media will be officially filing a case against President Fan. If someone had gotten hurt because of him today, that would have been an unpardonable evil.”
“Competition in the industry has always been fierce, so why must he make everyone even more tired?”
“Please pay attention to Superstar Media’s follow up to this matter.” After Emma was done speaking, Eric protected her out of the memorial service and headed to the police station with the rest of Superstar Media.
Did Emma mean that she would be fighting President Fan until the end?!
Soon, a video of Emma’s experience outside the mourning hall, was quickly posted online. A violent act like this immediately triggered the anger of those that saw it.
“How could he attack someone when they’re in the middle of paying their last respects? That’s so despicable and shameless!”
“Eggs were bad enough. How could he include stones as well? Did he want to kill someone?”
“To be honest, President Fan may appear to be the boss of a film company, but he actually started off as a gangster. He’s the most shameless person in the industry because he holds the deepest personal grudges. So, his attack on Emma came as no surprise. But, he was much too brave to have hired people to act as violent fans.”
“This is the work of a thug. I am determined to boycott ‘The Pirate Doctor’ and support Emma!”
As President Fan sat in his office and looked at the comments online, a smile with deep meaning appeared on his face. This smile was because the short-haired woman wasn’t actually sent by him. His secretary had only met this woman not long ago. This meant, not only did he not hurt Emma, it seemed, she had schemed against him instead.
He was exposed in public, the reporters spread the news, and the police were witnesses. Everything happened in broad daylight. He was in big trouble this time.
Why was Emma so hard to deal with?
President Fan was at a disadvantage, but his crime was evident. Although he still had the option of denying everything, his reputation was already destroyed. It seemed, his only option was to invite an expert out from the shadows to deal with her.
After filing a report at the police station, Emma and the others stepped out to find that reporters were gathered outside. A public battle, like the one today, wasn’t often seen in the industry, so the media wanted to hear directly from those involved.
“Xing Lan and Luo Sheng, you guys should go home first. The two of you don’t need to get involved.”
Xing Lan and Luo Sheng looked at each other and nodded their heads, “OK, Emma.”
Lin Qian was shielded by Li Jin, Lisa was protected by Luke, and Emma was naturally in Eric’s arms. No matter the time, as long as she was in Eric’s embrace, Emma would feel safe.
The reporters rushed forward and directed their flashing cameras towards Emma and Eric.
“Emma, regarding your experience today, the industry has called it a dog-eat-dog battle. What are your thoughts?”
“There is substantial evidence for President Fan’s revenge today. Could you tell us what you want from him?”
“Emma…”
For some reason, when she heard these sharp, tricky questions, Emma suddenly felt a bit tired. Was the media so desperate for attention?
“I haven’t heard anything about dog-eat-dog. If I hear anything, I’ll let you know how I feel.”
“As for your second question, there’s nothing that I want from President Fan. Everything will be handled according to the law. I don’t want to put something dirty in my hands.”
“As for any other questions, I hope you think it over before you ask me.”
“Because, I’m not going to give you any of the answers that you want.”
The reporters held out their microphones, but simply looked at each other. They were intimidated by Emma’s powerful response as they swallowed all the questions they wanted to ask.
“Move!”
As soon as the reporters heard Eric say this, they subconsciously jumped back a few steps and cleared a path.
No matter how much they wanted to question Emma further, no one dared to provoke her.
“Emma, why can’t you cooperate with the media?” someone suddenly asked, their voice filled with resentment.
“It’s not easy to do our jobs…”
“There has always been an interesting relationship bet**en artists and the media. If you don’t cooperate with us, you will attract hatred and the media will naturally slander you. Someone with a high EQ like yours should understand this, right?”
Emma looked towards the person that was talking and burst out laughing.
“I don’t cooperate with reporters that have no professionalism. That’s all I’m going to say. You want me to cooperate with you, but your questions are filled with hostility. It’s as though you expect someone to respond to your scolding.”
“Have you not noticed that the media are best at stirring up trouble? For example, are you sure that the media didn’t make up the whole dog-eat-dog thing?”
“Your job may not be easy, but what about mine?”
“Just because you’re weak, does that mean you’re right?”
“If I have to take your job into consideration, should I also worry about your pay and support your family?”
“I may choose not to cooperate with the media, but I haven’t stopped you from slandering me. If the media don’t know how to judge a situation objectively, then you can create whatever rumor you want and I won’t say a thing…”
“But, don’t expect me to cooperate with you.”
“You can’t even show some respect by judging a situation objectively!”
“Yet, you expect me to face you with a smile?”
After speaking, Emma and the others left. As she boarded her car, Emma took a deep breath. However, it didn’t take long before she received a phone call from President Fan. After their previous encounters, Emma could already guess what he was going to say and his intention for the phone call.
“Come on, President Miller, don’t take things too far. We want to be on good terms if we meet again in the future.”
“President Fan, if you have something to say, then just say it,” Emma couldn’t be bothered with small talk.
“How about this, we each take a step back and let this incident pass. You cancel your lawsuit and I promise to never cause trouble for you again. What do you think of this deal?”
“I don’t think much of it,” Emma dismissed, “Because I’m not afraid of you causing trouble.”
“Oh…President Miller. Think this over carefully. Are you sure that Superstar Media want to bring this upon themselves? You must know how I operate in this industry. Aren’t you afraid of my methods? I’m not a righteous person like you, I walk a very different and dark path.”
“Rather than wasting time on negotiating with me, you should worry about holding onto your position at your company,” Emma said before she hung up the phone.
Righteous person?
Emma couldn’t help but laugh at this term. President Fan was wrong; she was no righteous person, she was simply someone that stuck to her bottom line and didn’t attack those that didn’t attack her first.
If someone initiated an attack on her, they couldn’t blame her for striking back in self defence.
