What Feng Tianming truly cares about is that 100 million yuan.
He canât allow himself to lose to Lin Fan, so he must win this competition. To win, he has put in a lot of effort.
Finally, due to his relentless "efforts," Ning Xiaoyueâs ranking plummeted from third to seventh place last week, and it shows signs of further decline.
Meanwhile, his A-Class Player rose to ninth place, entering the debut position for the first time.
In Feng Tianmingâs view, victory is within reach!
So, he didnât go to the venue today; instead, he went to Wenyue Company. He wanted to witness Lin Fanâs failure firsthand.
Everyone at Wenyue Company is familiar with Feng Tianming. This guy has come a few times before and always leaves humiliated. Itâs annoying that he still dares to show up.
However, facing Feng Tianmingâs sarcasm this time, everyone at the company felt a bit uneasy. Indeed, Ning Xiaoyue is in danger, and thereâs a real chance she might lose.
So everyone could only watch Feng Tianming arrogant and had no confidence to refute him.
Lin Fan couldnât be bothered to argue with Feng Tianming and said calmly, "Since Young Master Feng is so shameless and insists on coming to someone elseâs company to be a nuisance, fine, show Young Master Feng a seat."
Feng Tianming chuckled, "Then I wonât stand on ceremony!"
Feng Tianming indeed impudently sat down opposite Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, your expression of failure must be wonderful; I wouldnât want to miss it!"
Lin Fan laughed, "If Xiaoyue canât debut, that would be thanks to you, Young Master Feng. Donât think I donât know what youâve been doing behind the scenes; youâre the one who orchestrated the rumor scandal, right?"
Feng Tianming replied, "Lin Fan, donât make baseless accusations. This has nothing to do with me! You have no evidence. I could sue you for defamation!"
Lin Fan said, "No evidence? You bribed reporters from Yun City Daily to write black articles about Xiaoyue, isnât that proof enough?"
Feng Tianming retorted, "When did I bribe reporters from Yun City Daily?"
Lin Fan opened his phone and played a video.
"The chief editor and a reporter from Yun City Dailyâs entertainment section were fired for slander and defamation after taking bribes from you to write against Ning Xiaoyue. They begged for mercy on the spot, confessing they took your bribes."
The people in the video were indeed Sun Duhua, the editor of Yun City Dailyâs entertainment section, and the man with glasses.
"President, please give us a break this time; we just made a foolish mistake."
"Yes, it was Feng Tianming who paid me to write that article. I know I was wrong."
Sun Duhua and the man with glasses were crying like children.
Lin Fan turned off the video, smiling at Feng Tianming.
The evidence was irrefutable, leaving Feng Tianming no room to deny it.
"Lin Fan, I heard about Yun City Daily going bankrupt. Was that your doing?" Feng Tianming sneered.
This Lin Fan could actually cause Yun City Daily to go bankrupt; his methods are truly extraordinary, leaving people shocked.
Everyone at the company was stunned.
Yun City Daily indeed recently went bankrupt, with some speculation it might be related to the Ning Xiaoyue incident, but that was too astonishing for anyone to believe.
Yun City Daily went bankrupt just after writing two defamatory articles about Ning Xiaoyue?
Isnât that too sensational?
Could it be that Lin Fan actually orchestrated Yun City Dailyâs bankruptcy?
For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Fan. If it were true, Mr. Linâs methods would be truly frightening.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Feng Tianming, now thatâs what I call baseless claims. Yun City Daily made mistakes themselves and faced punishment from the PR department, paying the deserved price. How does that have anything to do with me?"
Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat relieved. So it wasnât Mr. Linâs doing, after all.
Feng Tianming sneered, "If you didnât take action against Yun City Daily, how did you get this video?"
Lin Fan said, "This video is online; didnât you know? I saw it online as well."
"What?" Feng Tianmingâs face changed, and he quickly pulled out his phone to search. Sure enough, he found the video.
This video had, of course, been spread by Lin Fan, purposefully ambiguous in origin.
What Feng Tianming could think of, Lin Fan had already anticipated. He wouldnât let others know that Yun City Dailyâs downfall was of his own orchestration.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "This video is still being spread on a small scale. If it goes viral, everyone will know you, Feng Tianming, paid to smear Ning Xiaoyue. Think about the consequences."
Cold sweat ran down Feng Tianmingâs face.
"Lin Fan, you are vicious!" Feng Tianming gritted his teeth.
Lin Fan chuckled, "Young Master Feng, donât talk nonsense. Your ugly deeds getting exposed has nothing to do with me. Didnât I just say I also saw it online?"
Feng Tianming didnât believe Lin Fan saw it online; it was apparent Lin Fan had arranged this, but with no proof, he couldnât be sure.
"Lin Fan, donât be so smug. Even if everyone knows I smeared Ning Xiaoyue, so what? As rivals, a little negative publicity for the opposition is a normal tactic!" Feng Tianming sneered.
Upon hearing this, everyone couldnât help but be furious.
Is this even human talk?
Feng Tianming is so shameless, even justifying slandering others!
Feng Tianming continued, "As they say, the winner takes all. Anyway, youâre bound to lose tonight, and losers have no right to speak!"
Lin Fan silently opened another video and let Feng Tianming watch.
"Young Master Feng, open your eyes wide and see what this video is about. Somebody, help me project this video onto the big screen."
Soon, an employee helped, and they projected the video onto the screen.
In the video, surprisingly, there was a girl smoking, drinking, and swearingâa complete delinquent.
Upon closer inspection, the girl turned out to be Feng Tianmingâs A-Class Player!
Feng Tianmingâs expression changed drastically.
Lin Fan said, "Young Master Feng, at this critical moment, if this video hits the trending list, do you think your player will still be able to debut?"
Feng Tianming was in a panic and angrily rebuked, "Lin Fan, donât you dare!"
Lin Fan replied, "If you can attack my people, why canât I counterattack? Furthermore, at this crucial moment, you have no time to react."
"Haha..."
Everyone laughed.
Mr. Lin is too impressive; this move is indeed ruthless.
Itâs foreseeable that if this video were released, Feng Tianmingâs A-Class Player would certainly suffer a fatal blow.
Feng Tianming, drenched in sweat and almost driven mad with anger, never expected Lin Fan to pull out a trump card at the last moment!
Seeing Lin Fan pick up his phone, Feng Tianming had no recourse and exclaimed, "Lin Fan, you..."
Everyone watched eagerly, expecting with anticipation. Was Mr. Lin going to play his trump card?
"I can return the favor in kind. However you deal with me, Iâll retaliate in the same way. However, your methods are too dirty; even though I can do this, I disdain to do so."
As Lin Fan spoke, he deleted the video in front of everyone.
Everyone was stunned.
What?
Lin Fan actually gave up this trump card?
