Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Unfortunately…

…Superstar Media was only one step behind. As soon as he posted up his photos, Superstar Media released an official apology on behalf of Xia Hanmo stating that she had accidentally lost control…

But, the public believed that the difference bet**en a man throwing a slap and a woman throwing a slap was that men did it to cause trouble, whereas women did it because of retaliation; she must have been bullied so badly that she had no choice.

So, Superstar Media’s swift apology further proved the public’s speculation: Xia Hanmo definitely suffered immense bullying.

“Firstly, Zhou Qing was forced to leave. Afterwards, Xia Hanmo was caught hitting someone. I’m certain this happened because of a huge internal disagreement at the television station.”

“It wasn’t easy for Xia Hanmo to rebuild her popularity. I don’t believe she would hit someone for no reason.”

“That television station is completely shameless. Rumor has it that they are planning to give ‘The Big Adventure’ a facelift as well. Let me declare it now: we are not going to watch ‘The Big Adventure’ if Zhou Qing isn’t in it!”

“Let’s boycott their channel!”

The Station Manager’s son did not expect that his photo would receive so much backlash. In fact, every single comment was detrimental to ‘The Big Adventure’. If one was to look at the incident with Zhou Qing, this young man was a thief to begin with. But, not only did he not keep a low profile, he even offended him out in the open.

So, Emma didn’t just make this move so that ‘The Big Adventure’ would be boycotted, she also did it to put public opinion on Zhou Qing and Xia Hanmo’s side.

But, of course, this wasn’t enough. Emma was someone that planned much further and deeper…

So, she gave Zhou Qing a phone call in private, “To turn the tables, the enemy may claim that the two of you have a ‘special’ relationship, or slander you in other ways. Zhou Ge, you’ve been in the industry for long enough, I’m sure you know what to do.”

Zhou Qing was a smart person, so he immediately understood Emma’s hint.

Therefore, early the next morning, the news articles reported that Zhou Qing had been fired, but his mood was unaffected. In fact, he was seen having dinner with his family. On top of that, old news resurfaced about how he was previously caught strolling the streets hand-in-hand with a mysterious woman.

Meanwhile, Emma arranged for a famous social media influencer to cut and paste together a short video of Xia Hanmo’s interviews where she had stated that she was single.

This way, even if the television station tried to create a rumor, no one would believe it.

The young man was stuck, but the Station Manager knew exactly what was happening. So, he called his son into the office to teach him a lesson.

“The fact that you were so lofty about joining ‘The Big Adventure’ wasn’t a huge issue. But, why did you cling onto Zhou Qing and Xia Hanmo and not let them go?”

“Pa…aren’t I allowed to teach a couple of artists a lesson?”

“Zhou Qing was not an issue. After all, he’s accumulated a lot of contacts over the years, but he hasn’t matured. But, how dare you provoke Xia Hanmo? Do you know that everyone is scolding you at the moment?” the Station Manager slammed his hands on the table angrily.

“But, all I see in the news is gossip about Zhou Qing…”

“You’re too young and naive. You still don’t believe me? What you see isn’t merely gossip, it’s precautionary action against our slandering!”

“He’s not making any complaints or putting up a fight. He left the show casually and went off to spend his spare time with his family and girlfriend. If you try to stir up trouble for him, people will only view you as heartless, ungrateful and ruthless!”

“So, that’s enough. Simply focus on doing a good job with ‘The Big Adventure’. I’ve handed the entire show to you, so stop tormenting others. If you truly want to win against Zhou Qing, then you should show the world what you are capable of.”

The Station Manager was furious. If his son was even half as understanding as Zhou Qing, then he wouldn’t have to worry so much.

But, this rascal had no brains.

The fact that he took over ‘The Big Adventure’ was already a big enough blow to Zhou Qing. Yet, he didn’t know how to be satisfied.

“You just wait and see, I’m going to make you view me in a different light.”

The Station Manager didn’t have high hopes for his son. He simply hoped that he’d advance at a stable rate and that was already enough for him.

Soon, it was time to film the new episode of ‘The Big Adventure’. Although the show maintained its high quality with the help of the production crew and they even invited a big-name guest, without Zhou Qing around, the show lost its original essence. Did the young man think that the audience was stupid?

Meanwhile, Zhou Qing secretly started on the set of another program and quickly signed a contract. However, he had one condition: he wanted Xia Hanmo to be his hosting partner.

So, the other party happily accepted.

…

Although the Station Manager’s son wasn’t thinking straight, he still had his father to back him up. To be able to get to his position and dismiss Zhou Qing so easily, the Station Manager definitely had his own capabilities and methods.

So, the old man personally planned out the publicity for his son’s program. As a result, in the newest series of promotional trailers, the Station Manager fed on the feeble minds of students and invited a famous young idol actress and actor and put a lot of effort into the editing.

Soon, ‘The Big Adventure’ gained back a lot of popularity. After all, even if the fans didn’t like the program, they still wanted to support their idols.

The old man was going to prove that ‘The Big Adventure’ could still produce legendary results even without Zhou Qing.

But, another problem that he was worried about was that Zhou Qing didn’t appear to hinder anyone at the station, but he actually posed a huge threat.

Emma saw the results produced by the Station Manager and acknowledged that he was a worthy opponent. At least, he was much better than his brainless son.

But, what the old man was doing was practically killing the goose that lay the golden eggs.

Zhou Qing was a sentimental person. At least, over the years that he spent at the television station, he had no other thoughts but to produce a good program. However, the Station Manager was too paranoid and couldn’t stand that Zhou Qing was receiving more and more respect. So, he decided to hand the program over to his lacklustre son.

But, whether his son would live up to the role would depend on the first round of ratings.

It wasn’t too bad the way that things turned out…

Meanwhile, a talk show on another television channel was currently the biggest competitor for ‘The Big Adventure’. This show was called ‘I Have Big News For You’. Every episode focused on a hot topic and there were plenty of opinions as well as involvement from celebrities. But, because of Zhou Qing, the show had been supp**ssed for a long time.

So, some people began to wonder if ‘The Big Adventure’ would hold its dominance without Zhou Qing around.

The answer would be revealed after the newest episode. But, according to the statistics, the ratings for ‘The Big Adventure’ still needed to be a little higher.

Although the show couldn’t compare to when Zhou Qing was around, ‘The Big Adventure’ still had its advantages.

Unfortunately, Emma had no intention of letting them have their way.

‘I Have Big News For You’ invited a mystery guest halfway through every show to present everyone with a topic of discussion. So, during prime time, all the viewers that were watching ‘The Big Adventure’ ended up changing channels.

Because, the guest that had arrived on the show, was none other tZavier Qing!

The audience went crazy! Zhou Qing had actually joined the enemy.

For some reason, the audience was pleased to see this.

This time, ‘I Have Big News For You’ ended up receiving its highest ever viewership rating – surpassing ‘The Big Adventure’!

Because of this, the internet also went crazy.

“WTF, this is so shocking! Zhou Qing went directly to the enemy camp!”

“This is a huge face slap. Zhou Qing is black-bellied to the max! Even I was shocked.”

“Zhou Qing used numbers to teach ‘The Big Adventure’ a lesson.”

“F*ck, I give full points to this counterattack.”

In the end, the Station Manager’s son lost miserably.

The next day, news of the ratings spread throughout New York and it was revealed that Zhou Qing had signed on with the enemy of ‘The Big Adventure’.

After the old Station Manager saw the ratings for the latest episode of ‘The Big Adventure’, he let out a deep sigh; he was too careless to have trusted his useless son.

Now that Zhou Qing had gone to work for the enemy, it was like they had given wings to a tiger. If Zhou Qing decided to host more than one program at a time, then not only ‘The Big Adventure’, but every other variety show would have no chance of survival.

He had lost his gamble…

In response, the Station Manager’s son did not want to admit defeat. So, he ended up using the fact that Zhou Qing had debuted longer than him as an excuse.

“Lucky I didn’t offend him too badly.”

“Pa, you’re worrying too much. Whenever something experiences a change, it will definitely go through an adjustment stage. Weren’t you prepared for this?” the young man scoffed. “You’re such a coward to be scared by something so little.”

But, Zhou Qing held onto his winning streak by accepting a position on a new program called, “Late Night 8pm”. It was a show where he’d partake in hilarious missions with guest celebrities at 8pm.

Xia Hanmo did not expect Zhou Qing to progress so quickly.

After reading all the news, Xia Hanmo felt like she had fallen asleep and woken up to a completely different world.

Soon after, she received a phone call from Zhou Qing, “Come out. I’m taking you to sign a contract.”

“Huh?”
