Chapter 181: Cleaning Up Showbiz

Chapter 181

Turns out Zhong Ruanxing's silence over the past few days wasn't out of fear, but because she was collecting evidence! What a brave, smart, strong heroine!

She can refute vulgar men eloquently, beat sleazy guys to the ground physically, has the intelligence to gather evidence, and seems to embody all the qualities that make people adore her! That Reuters photo from Zhong Ruanxing’s shooting competition is trending online again.

Looking at that picture along with her actions, she’s simply gorgeous inside out!

The reversal of victim status brought this incident to a peak, even catching the attention of state media, which issued announcements to eradicate unseemly drinking culture and severely punish sexual harassment in the workplace, specifically calling out the entertainment industry and warning those within to self-reflect.

The implicated celebrities were caught completely off guard. They had no idea Yuan Zhiyong would be so unreliable that even after the victim had recorded video evidence, he still dared to distort the facts! He’s really done them in!

Yuan Zhiyong was also confused.

At that time in the private room, everyone was focused on him and Zhong Ruanxing, no one noticed the inconspicuous young agent next to her. Moreover, it's an unspoken rule that no recordings are allowed at these investment dinners. If discovered, they'd never invite that side again.

But now Zhong Ruanxing seems to have broken this rule. And as the perfect victim, no one dared criticize her for not following etiquette at this time.

Yuan Zhiyong, the real mastermind behind the scenes, doesn't have a Weibo. With nowhere to vent their anger at being deceived, netizens naturally went after “Goddess”’s official account, as well as the long list of artists exposed by Xu Qishen.

Fuck, they usually pretend to be otherworldly fairies - kind, gentle, passionate and cheerful. Turns out they're just a bunch of vicious bugs!

Of the 7 brave women, half had already left showbiz and became nobodies. If not for Yuan Zhiyong, they could have had bright futures.

With Zhong Ruanxing’s support, Xu Qishen officially filed lawsuits for rape and molestation charges against Yuan Zhiyong on behalf of these women. Seven heart-wrenching testimonies from seven women, revealing just the tip of the iceberg.

Led by these seven, more and more artists spoke up, male and female, more or less having suffered such coercion. Consensual trade of resources aside, not everyone is willing to trade their body for fame!

Have to accompany drinking just to discuss cooperation, have to hug and touch just to show you’ll come through, have to withstand vulgar jokes and teasing just to humor your superiors - that’s considered obedient.

Everyone feels there’s no real harm done, so what’s there to make a fuss about?

Previously, these were the unspoken gray areas of the industry. It seemed to the public that showbiz was supposed to be like this.

But there’s never supposed to be anything. Doing wrong repeatedly doesn’t make it right.

Now, someone is standing up, determined to tear off this shameful veil, to break this longstanding rotten tradition. She stands there as if declaring war on all with evil intentions.

The netizens supporting all this somehow feel hot-blooded.

How could the family understand! Zhong Ruanxing is so brave, hitting the producer when told to, suing other actresses when told to, terminating contracts when told to. And now even helping fellow victims sue, acting all cocky and arrogant as if nothing scares her.

She’s like reforming the entertainment industry!
