Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn-Chapter 520: Scared by the artist on ?

Shi Lan and An Lan’s fans, black question mark faces.

What does this all mean?

Initially, Shi Lan didn’t plan to get involved in this little bastard’s mess; let him solve it himself, whether he needed to knock his head or kneel, it was ultimately the price of his mistake. But then, did the partner target her the moment they stepped in? Did they think life was too smooth and wanted some excitement?

However, the little bastard couldn’t stand seeing her being criticized and immediately spoke out.

@An Yang: "The fault lies entirely with me for not arriving on the scheduled date to shoot the promotional video, causing significant losses for our partner. I take full responsibility. No matter how your company decides to handle this matter, I will cooperate fully and pay the penalty as per the contract stipulations. I will also formally issue a public apology later. However, this matter has nothing to do with my sister; she should not suffer baseless accusations. The one at fault is me, and I hope your company will not misdirect its anger at innocent people."

Once An Yang’s Weibo post was up, he protected his sister while admitting that he had indeed been absent from the shoot.

Nevertheless, this also raised doubts among some people.

If An Yang is now openly admitting that he indeed didn’t attend the shoot, then why didn’t he make a statement when the incident first occurred? Why wait until things have escalated to this point before speaking up—is it not because the situation has blown up even more? Is this just an urgent PR move?

@Yifeng Studio: "It’s good that you admit to your absence from the shoot. Our company has turned this matter over to legal. Due to your singular mistake, you delayed the work of many people and caused us such significant losses. We will definitely seek the compensation we are due."

One could tell how much this company detested artists throwing their weight around just from reading between the lines of their official post.

When Tang Ze initially discussed collaboration with them, he also considered this, but at that time, he didn’t expect Huo Zhao to have troubles, and even less so that the little bastard would recklessly chase after him.

Now the other party was unrelenting, and apologies or explanations were useless; they insisted on proceeding legally.

If they looked down on celebrities so much, why collaborate with artists at all?

Moreover, Peak had already said that compensation would be made according to the contract; Yifeng insists on going to court—is there any point to it?

@Peak Entertainment: "Regarding artist An Yang’s absence from Yifeng’s shoot, our company and the person in charge at Yifeng immediately communicated and negotiated upon the incident. That artist An Yang was wrong is indisputable, and our company accepts Yifeng’s decision, awaiting legal judgment. However, due to Yifeng’s irrational behavior, damaging the reputation of our artist An Lan, our company will also hand this matter over to the law to deal with."

Peak Entertainment’s PR release made their stance clear.

The company had communicated with Yifeng at the very onset of the incident but didn’t achieve any favorable outcome from these discussions.

@Yifeng Studio: "Please, @Peak Entertainment, answer these two questions directly: 1) Where was artist An Yang at the scheduled time for the promotional shoot. 2) Why did it take more than a day and a night, after the incident, for you to issue an apology."

@Peak Entertainment: "As we have already explained, he was dealing with an emergency and was not in the country."

@Yifeng Studio: "However, according to the information we’ve received, was he not drinking that very night?"

@Peak Entertainment: "Does Yifeng just rely on prejudice and conjecture to collaborate with artists? If so, there’s nothing more to discuss."

The two companies were at an online impasse, but there was no clear winner.

Everyone was really concerned about where An Yang was when he wasn’t filming, and Peak Entertainment had to protect the little brat’s privacy rights. Their stance on protecting their cub was quite clear.

At this point, the little brat himself had to come out and admit that he went abroad. Naturally, others might not believe it, so the best course of action was to trouble the Russian collaborators to retrieve some hospital surveillance footage.

Yan Shixiu personally made a phone call, and the other side worked very quickly; the video file was transmitted over in no time.

Together with the flight information for Shi Lan and the little brat, the evidence was now ready.

Afterward, Shi Lan went online.

@An Lan: "Originally, I didn’t want to get involved in this matter, since we were not in the right and I wanted the little brat to face it himself. But since some people could tag me, I have to come out and say a few words. I’ll emphasize first that this matter is entirely An Yang’s responsibility. Based on that, I had him go straight to our partner’s company to apologize as soon as he got off the plane. That’s why there’s a photo of him with his luggage at the Yifeng office building."

"I saw the humiliating comments made by Yifeng’s internal staff when they were spreading the photo. Sorry, he wasn’t there to beg but to show basic courtesy by apologizing for a mistake he made. I don’t know how awesome Yifeng really is, but the quality of your employees is indeed not very high. As the client, you have the right to be angry, but not the right to humiliate."

"Lastly, weren’t you all very concerned about where An Yang has been these past two days? The attached photos and videos below will give you the answer."

"An Yang and my bodyguard are very good brothers. This time my bodyguard went to Russia for a competition and unfortunately was caught in an explosion incident. Because it happened so suddenly, An Yang rushed to Moscow immediately. People live a life, not as machines; there are always things more important than fame and wealth, hence, even though An Yang made a mistake, I already feel that his choice was not wrong."

"When your loved ones are in danger, perhaps facing the chance of never seeing them again, are you sure you could still stay at your post?"

"We admit to the compensation, but drinking? So Yifeng is all about rumors and hearsay?"

The Weibo post was followed by the flight information for the two, the Russian explosion news, and some video footage of them at the hospital.

They admitted to not filming, they admitted to doing something wrong and would face the consequences standing straight.

But Yifeng came up with some utterly nonsensical stuff, with misplaced anger and spreading rumors; that was unacceptable.

@Winter Rose: "Finally, everything is clear. Little Anzai truly did not say one word to justify himself. We were wrong, and we went to apologize. Even though we caused losses to Yifeng, Peak Entertainment has also promised to compensate, so I think Little Anzai did nothing wrong in this case."

@LostDreamsK: "I feel Little Anzai did nothing wrong. Since a friend matters more to him than his career, they must be very important. Human life is critical. Just go through legal procedures with Yifeng. I haven’t liked the wrong person; Little Anzai is loyal and sentimental."

@NamingIsToughzzz: "Indeed, a mistake was made but, as An Lan said, he didn’t make the wrong choice. Put in his shoes, with important relatives or friends in danger, who the hell could still focus on work?"

@SillyDragonmm: "So, the incident where paparazzi caught Sister An Lan and her brother at the airport was real. Then what right does Yifeng Studio have to say they were out drinking? Aren’t such baseless speculations truly disgusting?"

@Qian Shijin: "Exactly, Yifeng may be right, but there’s no need to be so ungracious. And just because you’re right, you can slander others at will?"

Nobody knew where Yifeng’s comments about An Yang going out to drink came from.

Could it be that the company has been scared off by artists?
