Chapter 75 Let them feel resentful, I won’t forgive any of them!
Xianghua Entertainment has had a really hard time during this period of time. It is not convenient for Lu Zhuofeng to take action against Cheng Cheng for the time being, and all his anger is directed at Xianghua Entertainment.

Today, scandals have been exposed for artists under Xianghua Entertainment, and the business has been forced to shrink little by little, causing panic among the people in the company.

They no longer want to create any more trouble. Once the case between Cheng Cheng and Xianghua Entertainment goes to trial, regardless of whether they win or lose, Xianghua Entertainment will definitely be pushed to the forefront again and ridiculed as a clown. This is unacceptable to them.

Therefore, Tang Fei was put forward as the negotiating partner.

Xianghua Entertainment has different demands from the thirteen brands:

The thirteen brands hope that Cheng Cheng loses the lawsuit so that they can retain the right to terminate the contract with the artist at any time, while Xianghua Entertainment only wants Cheng Cheng to withdraw the lawsuit.

Tang Fei had already bought gifts and planned to go to Cheng Cheng's house to apologize, but when he arrived he found out that Cheng Cheng had already sold the house. He had no choice but to call.

As soon as the call was connected, she was afraid of being harassed by Cheng Cheng, so she didn't give Cheng Cheng a chance to speak and said quickly:

"Cheng Cheng, I have changed my name. I am no longer called Tafang. I am called Tang Fei! It means I hope the artists under me will soar to the sky."

This is her way of showing her sincerity. The subtext is: Cheng Cheng, you said my name has a bad connotation, so I changed it right away. I value your opinion so much! I am so sincere! So I hope you can listen to me patiently, okay?
Cheng Cheng remained calm and asked, "What are Tang Fei's first letters?"

Tang Fei was slightly stunned, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "TF?"

Cheng Cheng asked again: "What are the initials of the word 'unfollow'?"

Tang Fei slowly opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "TF too?"

Cheng Cheng hung up the phone: "So, go change your name again."

Looking at the black screen, Tang Fei was dumbfounded?

Tang Fei? Stop being a fan?
I#%W$#
She was thinking about what name to change to that would avoid puns, initials, and have a good meaning, when she suddenly realized:

That's not right. I'm here to make peace with him on behalf of the company!
She called again: "Hello, Cheng Cheng, I'm calling you this time to talk about peace--"

Cheng Cheng interrupted her: "In ancient times, peace talks required the payment of annual tributes and worship of the superior country. What conditions did your company offer?"

Tang Fei paused: "Our company promised——"

Cheng Cheng interrupted again: "How about this, all the executives of your company come to me and apologize, and give me half of the shares, I can consider it."

Tang Fei was stunned and said, "This is impossible!"

Cheng Cheng said coldly: "There is nothing I can do about it. I hope you can remember today, especially when your company is on the decline, bankrupt and insolvent. Look back and remember that I have given you a chance."

After saying that, Cheng Cheng hung up the phone again and added her to the blacklist.

In the next half month, the case between Cheng Cheng and thirteen brands and Xianghua Entertainment became the focus of the entire entertainment industry. Various news, speculations, and public opinions exploded on various social platforms, and fans and passers-by from all sides also came out to take sides.

Although the thirteen brands knew that the evidence was against them, they still did not give Cheng Cheng an easy time. They hired a team of top lawyers in the industry and hoped to defeat Cheng Cheng, but it was ultimately vain. On November 11, dozens of cases were finally concluded, and Cheng Cheng won a great victory.

As expected, Xianghua Entertainment once again became a clown in the eyes of everyone, and the situation of Xianghua Entertainment became increasingly difficult.

I don’t know whether Tang Fei and the executives of Xianghua Entertainment regret it.

The thirteen brands also suffered backlash from public opinion. Cheng Cheng also released the recording of his phone calls with them. The two sides completely fell out, and his arrogant attitude aroused public anger.

Among them, the international brands among the 13 brands were scolded the most harshly: How dare you do this to European and American stars? You come to Tianxia to bully others, get out of Tianxia!
Domestic brands were also criticized: "We support you because you are a domestic brand, but you sell your products at higher and higher prices. Not only are you fleecing us, but you are also being as arrogant and domineering as foreign brands! The nature of capitalists is completely exposed!"
After thirteen brands were forced to issue several apology statements that avoided the main issues and shirked responsibility, they saw that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, so they had no choice but to cut off their efforts to survive and dismissed a large number of people.

However, the stock price decline cannot be stopped in the short term. Although Cheng Cheng has not yet achieved what he said, "Either I or you, either you or I", he has made them feel the pain.

Just as they took advantage of the traffic caused by Cheng Cheng’s scandal, they are now being attacked by the increasingly powerful black fans.

The cases against big Vs, bloggers, and netizens have also been completely concluded. These cases were all represented by agents, and Cheng Cheng never showed up. Many of them begged for mercy from Cheng Cheng, but Cheng Cheng ignored them.

By the way, thirteen brands were sentenced by the court to high compensation ranging from 10 to 50 yuan, and were required to publicly apologize to Cheng Cheng. It can be said that they lost more than they gained; Xianghua Entertainment was also sentenced to publicly apologize to Cheng Cheng; many big Vs, bloggers, and UP hosts were also sentenced to compensation ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan, depending on the impact, and were required to publicly apologize.

In the case of Cheng Cheng and Zhang Jiao, the court also ordered Zhang Jiao to pay Cheng Cheng 20 yuan in compensation, but she has already dropped out of school and fled abroad, so the money should be irrecoverable. She also cursed Tianxia for judicial injustice and persecution of vulnerable groups in foreign media.

Cheng Cheng couldn't take care of her for the time being, so he just wrote her down in his little notebook for the future.

As for the case in which Zhang Jiao sued Cheng Cheng for exposing her personal information, she did not dare to return on the day of the trial and the court withdrew the case.

After all the cases were concluded, some media outlets led the rhythm, saying that Cheng Cheng's approach was too cruel and left no room for maneuver, and that he was cutting off his own path; the remaining supporters of Zhang Jiao also took advantage of the situation to curse Cheng Cheng, saying that Cheng Cheng had forced a pillar of the country into a state where he could not return home.

In the face of all this, Cheng Cheng selected two passages from Lu Xun's articles "On the Slowing Down of Fair Play" and "Death", edited them, and posted them on Weibo:

[As the saying goes, "Honesty is another name for uselessness." This may be a bit harsh, but if you think about it carefully, it does not incite people to do evil, but rather a warning that summarizes many painful experiences.

We often use the saying "don't hit a drowned dog" and we have also heard that a brave boxer will never hit an opponent who has already fallen to the ground. This is indeed enough for us to follow this role model.

But I think one more thing should be added, that is, the opponent must also be a brave fighter. After being defeated, he may feel ashamed and regret and never come again, or he may still take revenge in a dignified manner, which is of course acceptable.

But we cannot cite this example to dogs and compare them to equal opponents, because no matter how loudly they howl, they actually do not understand "morality"; moreover, dogs can float on water, and they must still climb to the shore. If you don't pay attention, they will shake their bodies and splash water all over people's bodies and faces, and then run away with their tails between their legs. But their temperament is still the same. Honest people regard their falling into the water as baptism, thinking that they must have repented and will not go out to bite people again. This is really a big mistake.

In short, if it is a biting dog, I think it can be beaten, whether it is on the shore or in the water.

I also thought that when Europeans are dying, they often have a ritual of asking others for forgiveness and forgiving others themselves.

I have many enemies. If someone asks me about them, how should I answer?
I thought about it and decided: Let them feel resentful, I won’t forgive any of them!]
