Chapter 343: Rescuing The Entertainment Industry

Panic.

The entire entertainment industry was in a panic. It had suddenly become a great mess.

Right after the news was released, countless celebrities, directors and producer, put on their masks and went to the hospital where they queued up for medical examinations. Their eyebrows were scrunched in worry.

The starlight and glitz emanating from those starlets who had a thing with Wang Zeyu had dimmed. They were only left with endless terror.

This storm had only been raging for a few days, but netizens were surprised to find that many of the stars, directors, and celebrities who used to be rather active had suddenly dropped off the face of the earth. They were no longer publishing any news of their activities. In turn, this caused netizens to speculate and rumors to spring up everywhere.

Some people calculated the statistics and were surprised to find that there might be more than half of the celebrities who had suddenly fallen into “a state of quietness”. All the netizens were in an uproar.

“Wow, f*ck. Half? That’s so over the top? Is the entertainment industry really in that much chaos?”

“How formidable! One person alone has killed half of the entertainment industry. He is powerful indeed!”

“So this means that more than half of the cast of the popular drama I’m watching now might have AIDS? F*ck!”

“Saying that half of those in the industry have AIDS is an exaggeration. At most, it’s only a small portion of them. The rest of them must still be waiting for the results.”

Even if it was only a small portion, it was enough to have a devastating effect on Z country’s entertainment industry.

From the 8th of June, the stocks of all the entertainment companies on the A stock exchange had plummeted. Some were even falling continuously. The market value of those stocks was drying up rapidly.

The capitalists had withdrawn their funds in succession, and the entertainment companies were hit by heavy damages inflicted by various groups.

Even the government regulatory authorities had to step in and formulate a more stringent “Code of Conduct for Public Figures”. This new law would target those artists who led a disorderly private life and were plagued by negative news. They would be thoroughly vetted in future.

That meant if you contracted AIDS, you could forget about being a star. From that moment on, you would have to say goodbye to the screen and the stage. To some extent, this was equivalent to delivering one last hit to the affected stars. But netizens across the internet were singing its praises.

One netizen said, “This is a wise decision. Nowadays, these fanatical fans can be unimaginably terrifying. They hear about their idols contracting AIDS, then, in order to be the same as them, they would deliberately expose themselves to HIV and infect thousands and hundreds of thousands of people. Although those crazy fans will not be missed, the harm to society is too great. The innocent could very easily become infected. It is better to isolate those celebrities who have AIDS.”

“It’s the end. Our nation’s entertainment industry is over. This is an unprecedented hit!”

“I can’t wait for all of them to die! Heroes like Young Master Wang are saving our entertainment industry! It’s such a dirty industry. How could we welcome the rebirth of the industry if we do not destroy it and do a big cleanup?”

“That’s right. The above comment makes sense.”

…

Junting Grand Court.

As he read the relevant news and comments on his mobile, Wang Zeyu’s face grew dark. He was so angry that he trembled all over.

“Wang Zeting, you son of a b*tch! You b*stard!”

Bam! He threw his phone against the ground with all his might. The phone was immediately smashed into pieces.

“What’s wrong? Who is Wang Zeting?” Chen Jin asked from one side of the room.

Wang Zeyu gritted his teeth. “He is my father’s illegitimate child and two years older than me. He used to be my lackey! Every day, he would fawn on me and curry my favor. I thought he was very loyal to me, I didn’t expect him to be an ungrateful wretch! He must have exposed my medical examination report to others!”

Wang Zeyu’s heart was filled with hate. That ungrateful wretch must be planning to blacken his name and make him fall from grace! This was so that he could easily take away his right to the family inheritance.

That b*stard. If he saw him now, Wang Zeyu would give him a ferocious bite. They could play this game till both of them were dead!

Of course, it was not only his elder brother Wang Zeting who had let him down. Even his elder sister, who usually treated him well, and his parents had all disappeared from his side. He could not do anything against them when they were not even there!

Chen Jin was sweating profusely. The internal affairs of rich and powerful families could only be described in one word—melodramatic. They were way more melodramatic than a TV show!

However, Chen Jin was part of a rich and powerful family now. He also had quite a few children. He could not predict if there would be such melodrama in the future.

After all, personal interests were greater than everything else. In the face of personal interests, even family ties would collapse with the first blow.

Chen Jin shook his head. He was not going to think so much.

“Little Brother Ze, the level of HIV in your body has been reduced by 60%. These days, the disease can be cured after another treatment period. When you’ve recovered, your right to your family inheritance and everything else will be returned to you. Your brother will come to you, admit his mistakes and beg for your forgiveness.”

“Return to the past?” Wang Zeyu shook his head. At this moment, he seemed to have seen through everything. He smiled bitterly. “I can’t go back. I can never go back. When I recover, I will break all ties with them. I will take out a sum of money and work on my own projects. I have to make a name for myself. I want them to feel regret!”

“Um… It’s good to think like this.” Chen Jin nodded. This could be considered as the return of a prodigal son.

…

Another half month had passed. It was June 22nd.

The amount of HIV in Wang Zeyu’s body could no longer be detected, even with the most advanced instruments for the testing process. The amount of HIV in him was zero. In theory, his disease was completely cured.

“Congratulations, Little Brother Ze. You have a new lease of life.”

Chen Jin took out a watch from his pocket and handed it to him, “This is an ordinary mechanical watch. It’s not as fancy as the one you used to wear: it’s plain and ordinary. This is my expectation for you, that is, for you to make a fresh start, a new life and become a useful person!”

Wang Zeyu’s eyes were full of tears as he looked at the silver-gray watch made from a tungsten material. He received it solemnly and put it on his wrist. He gave off a different vibe immediately.

He clenched his fists. “Brother Chen, I swear that I will become a decent person in the future no matter what. I want to make those who look down on me now look at me again with brand new eyes!”

He had suffered this blow that had thrown him from heaven to hell. Now, he had been lucky enough to climb back to the world of the living. The changes that had occurred to him had completely remade him.

“That’s good.” Chen Jin nodded in gratification.

However, there was still a huge crisis that remained unsolved. That was the entertainment industry crisis caused by Little Brother Ze. It had now developed to the point where the stocks of all the entertainment companies were reduced to junk stocks. General public opinion was that the entertainment industry had died.

Actually, this was not particularly relevant to Chen Jin. He did not have any reason to care if the entertainment industry lived or died.

The problem was that Xing Hai Entertainment was also now caught in this cold winter. Before this incident, its development outlook had been very optimistic. However, many male and female artists contracted to Xing Hai Entertainment had unfortunately been found to be suffering from AIDS and this had had a bad impact on Xing Hai Entertainment.

“One person has killed off half of the entertainment industry”: this description was not exaggerated at all when applied to Wang Zeyu.

Therefore, seeing that Little Brother Ze had healed, and how his body was full of fighting spirit, Chen Jin patted him on the shoulder and said, “Little Brother Ze, as the saying goes, you have to get up from wherever you had fallen. If you destroy something, you need to rebuild it yourself.”

“So I have a very difficult task that I will be entrusting to you. I need you to save this nation’s entertainment industry!”

Me? Wang Zeyu was instantly stunned.
