At this moment, Sun Mo also stepped forward to stand beside Yang Hong, expressing the same stance. However, he failed to notice that Yang Hong's eyes lit up at his action, unable to resist glancing at him.

Qin Zhao came to his senses and said nonchalantly, "We didn't actually offend anyone. It's just a competitive PK, survival of the fittest. If we can come up with better methods, why shouldn't we use them? Haven't you ever done anything to target others for your own benefit?"

[Vocal, Third Brother, you're sounding like a villain here. But you have a point. Not to mention these three in front of us, they even wanted to sacrifice Sister Pei to complete their love story. How dare they question us? We're all pushing our own agendas in the stage play, but at least we're openly tricking you.]

The Qin family members listened and stifled their laughter, desperately suppressing their smiles.

The trio, however, were stunned by Qin Zhao's response.

They hadn't expected Qin Zhao to admit it directly. They had thought Qin Zhao would make excuses, giving them a way out. This response left Yang Hong and Sun Mo at a loss.

Sun Mo was the least adept at handling such situations. He instinctively looked towards Pei Mingxuan again, but still received no response, not even a glance.

For the first time, Sun Mo felt he had no support behind him, as if he were walking a tightrope alone, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Just as the atmosphere became unbearably awkward, Yang Hong's agent hurriedly came over, breaking the deadlock.

The commotion ended, and the group went to a meeting, clearly about the stage performance.

Outside, the post-match interview live stream was underway, and they would have to go on stage later. They probably wanted to use this opportunity to make up for their earlier performance.

But Pei Mingxuan returned shortly after, her face gloomy.

People around naturally peeked curiously.

"Why did she come back alone? Weren't they meeting together?" The Qin family members gathered around Ji Fei, gossiping curiously.

After all, Pei Mingxuan was still Sun Mo's agent, without terminating their contract, so she naturally had to work for Sun Mo.

Ji Fei, who was retouching her makeup, couldn't help but check when she saw this.

[Haha, it's laughable.]

The Qin family members immediately pricked up their ears.

[The company wanted to salvage the reputation of the two male idols and provided several PR strategies. Sister Pei, being professional after all, helped them choose the most suitable one. That is to apologize for choosing the wrong script, admit the mistake, and promise to work hard to adjust next time. No need to do anything else unnecessary.]

The Qin family members thought about it and felt it was reasonable. If they really apologized, the netizens naturally wouldn't feel comfortable saying much more. After all, what they performed was indeed a common routine. This would instead earn them a wave of goodwill from the general public. Knowing one's mistakes and being willing to correct them is a great virtue.

Qin Zhao, as a performer, felt that this was the best PR strategy. Sometimes, it's better to let things flow than to block them. Even if it costs a bit of popularity and face, it's the most beneficial in the long run.

[But none of the three were willing. Xu Meng even deliberately asked Sister Pei if it was because of her relationship with Sun Mo that she wasn't thinking of good solutions for everyone. Then she pretended to be pitiful, apologized, and begged Sister Pei for help in a submissive manner.]

The Qin family members: Tsk~ The drama is too thick here, they could smell it just from hearing the report. Needless to say, Xu Meng was just acting for Sun Mo to see, wanting Sun Mo to make up his mind to stand on her side, so they could set up Pei Mingxuan later.

[The pig-brained Sun Mo immediately blew up at Sister Pei, telling her to get out if she wasn't willing to think of a good solution. That's why Sister Pei came out.]

The Qin family members couldn't help but despise Sun Mo in their hearts for being so blind. Did he really think he was all that?

[As a result, as soon as she was driven out, these three bastards started plotting... Damn! They've already taken action? Sun Mo, you really have no conscience, not even hesitating? I'm truly disgusted.]

The Qin family members immediately curiously moved closer to Ji Fei again, wondering what they had done.

As a result, they saw Ji Fei stop her inner monologue and immediately take out her phone, quickly scrolling through it.

The Qin family members, quick to catch up on gossip, immediately opened Weibo along with Ji Fei.

At this time, many people's phones also rang, especially Pei Mingxuan's.

Pei Mingxuan picked up her phone and looked, her face instantly freezing.

#The culprit behind the male idol group's stage play flop# had already topped the hot search. The topic quickly fermented.

Someone provided various rehearsal photos to marketing accounts, all showing scenes of Pei Mingxuan supervising with the script in hand.

A so-called insider began to frantically leak information,

"Actually, the original script for the male idol group was about faith in a great cause, not petty romance. It was forcibly changed by his agent."

"Those intimate scenes were originally refused by everyone, but the agent insisted on adding them to attract attention."

"Sun Mo's old fans should know that his agent Pei Mingxuan has always been in charge of all of Sun Mo's affairs, taking full responsibility. Sun Mo has no say in decisions, he just listens to her. So this stage performance failure really isn't the fault of the male idol group. It can only be said that the agent's judgment was poor, thinking that using this familiar field could resist the top-tier group, but ended up shooting herself in the foot."

Someone immediately responded below: "How could an agent be so stupid, not letting Sun Mo transform, but instead making him rely on old tricks? Isn't that asking for criticism? Could there be some other purpose?"

"She used to be very shrewd. I wonder if she's trying to ruin my brother's career," a fan arrived at the news and immediately became indignant.

Soon, a highly liked comment was pushed to the top, "Rumor has it that they might be terminating their contract."

This immediately stirred up a storm, after all, it's not uncommon in the entertainment industry for agents to backstab artists after contract termination.

Perhaps it's because of unresolved benefit negotiations, or harboring grudges, so they're taking the opportunity to teach a lesson.

With this explanation, it instantly shifted the fans' target of hatred. After all, compared to their own brother, they're more willing to believe others are the villains, and their own brother is definitely the victim.

Hashtags like #Sympathize with Sun Mo and Yang Hong# #Artists' right to choose scripts# #You said you wanted to transform, what's stopping you# appeared one after another, as if trying to portray Pei Mingxuan as an all-controlling evil demon.

These messages also affected the bullet screen comments. Previously full of mockery towards the male idol group, they gradually began to sympathize, and even started demanding Pei Mingxuan to apologize in the live stream.

It can only be said that once public opinion is guided, it really changes in an instant.

The real staff who knew the truth all looked sympathetically at Pei Mingxuan, knowing she was being pushed out as a scapegoat.

But they were powerless, and didn't have the big capital to spend money on buying hot searches and hiring water armies. So even if they stood up and said something, it would be useless. It would only be drowned in the information flow.

The director and producer still didn't dare to show their faces, clearly not wanting to be involved in this dispute, after all, it's all their own internal affairs. The circle is deep, and there's no shortage of wronged people.

However, the Qin family members who were watching the drama unfold were quite angry, frantically hinting at Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao gave Gao Hao a look.

Gao Hao helplessly took his phone and walked towards Pei Mingxuan, "Need any help?"

Pei Mingxuan slowly raised her icy face, sneering, "If I can't handle this little matter, would you still want to poach me?"

Seeing this, Gao Hao raised an eyebrow and said, "Looks like it's not too difficult for Sister Pei after all."
