chapter 32

With the full help of netizens, the dozens of dogs have all found their owners after just one day!

When the owners came to recognize their own fur babies, they inevitably came into contact with Fang Lizhe. Most of the people who could raise well-known dog breeds are from good families, and one third of them have high statuses in their field of work. This was a real breakthrough for Fang Lizhe’s powerful whitewash.

All the people who got their dogs back thanked Fang Lizhe on their social platform, admiring him as a smart, kind-hearted, talented, decent, and caring person, with most of them making it clear that they would never trust the scandal on the Internet. After more than a dozen people with statuses came forward, their influence couldn’t be underestimated. Other ordinary people were full of praise for him in the pet circle too, and even spread the video taken by Fang Lizhe with his mobile phone to the Internet to prove Fang Lizhe’s character.

In the eyes of many, the heart of a person who could be kind to small animals wouldn’t be evil.

People in the pet circle were very loving, compassionate and enthusiastic. When Fang Lizhe was smeared so badly on the Internet, this huge force suddenly united to question Fang Lizhe’s so-called scandal! As soon as it appeared, it quickly became trending!

They all tagged the verified account that ‘exposed’ Fang Lizhe’s scandal and asked them to show evidence. After that, they tagged Feng Hui and his junior, Li Qingqing, telling them not to spread nonsense. What do you mean by unspoken rules? What do you mean by forcing his artists to accompany others to drink? If you have the ability, take out the damn evidence to show everyone. Even Starlight Entertainment, which broke off their contract with Fang Lizhe, had been tagged countless times so that the officials could expose Fang Lizhe’s real mistakes, and not throw dirty water on people for some ‘ambiguous’ reason. There was even a lawyer who came forward and said that if these people continue to accuse or insinuate that Fang Lizhe had integrity problems without evidence, he will gather a team of lawyers to help Fang Lizhe sue them for defamation for free!

Before, Fang Lizhe was smeared so badly. One was because Feng Hui paid a water army to smear him, and the other was that the boss’s daughter of the entertainment company ordered it. Thus, no one wanted to get involved and help Fang Lizhe speak up. This way, Feng Hui and Li Qingqing’s fans were naturally led by the rhythm of hating Fang Lizhe to death. Even passers-by believed the haters’ words, spurning him as scum. The heat came down more and more, and almost everyone was scolding Fang Lizhe. How could Fang Lizhe, a man without background and backer, easily turn over?

But now, it was different. Nine out of ten people either owned, have owned before, or wanted to own pets. This time, Fang Lizhe was an absolute positive energy in the pet circle, and there was a large group of owners who found their dogs as guarantors. These people totally believe that Fang Lizhe was a victim, and they weren’t afraid of anyone in the entertainment industry. What did entertainment companies, directors, stars, and boss’s daughters have anything to do with them? All the words they said were poking at people,just like a sharp knife. They directly cut holes all over the scandal material, and the water army hired by Feng Hui failed miserably.

Despite the suppression from Starlight Entertainment, Fang Lizhe was still struggling in the entertainment industry, but at least his popularity had been restored. After this incident, all the passers-by who took part in the fun and verbally abused him disappeared. Instead, they were all messages of people seeking evidence and truth. A few days passed by, and Feng Hui, Li Qingqing and Starlight Entertainment didn’t take out any evidence after all their public relations statement loopholes were picked out. Under the wise eyes of the netizens, all of this pretty much proved that Fang Lizhe was absolutely wrongfully accused!

Although some people still insisted that flies don’t go for seamless eggs, Fang Lizhe still got some breathing space in such a large entertainment circle. From the ruin of his reputation to this controversy, he was no longer in a state of being blocked out of everything.

Fang Lizhe didn’t expect to be helped out so enthusiastically by doing a good deed in passing! He flipped through the latest news on the Internet and was surprised to find that his reputation had already turned over. Many people contacted him to introduce him to work, among which there were many jobs with good promotion prospects and good pay, which moved him for a while before he calmed himself down.

He carefully read every message of encouragement and support, and sincerely posted a microblog.

[Fang Lizhe: Thanks to all the friends who believed me, encourage me and support me. Thank you all for your concern. We will always see the rainbow after the storm. I won’t admit what I didn’t do, and I’m not afraid of any slander. It’s my dream to be an agent of the best actor and the best actress, and to make a living in the entertainment circle. I won’t leave, no matter how hard it is, I will keep going. Rest assured, I have never been beaten and will never be beaten. I hope that one day in the future, you will see my dreams come true! Thank you all! [Heart]]

A few minutes after the microblog was sent out, there were tens of thousands of messages, displaying his popularity which was akin to new artists, showing how many people had paid close attention to him recently. Some directors or agents who didn’t cooperate with Starlight Entertainment previously started contacting him, saying that they could sign him as a star, or give him an audition or something. It’s just that no entertainment company wanted to sign him as an agent.

Fang Lizhe sighed, picked up Su Yuanyuan and sat by the window to bask in the sun. He took some pet snacks and fed her. He said to her, “I want to be an agent, and I don’t want to be a star. Besides, the roles they gave me don’t have many scenes and no bright points. They simply want to use my popularity to gain a wave of hype. There is no need for me to agree to any of them.” He leaned up against the wall and looked out the window. “There was such a big storm before. If other companies really want to sign me, I will wait and see for a period of time. The worst thing is that no artist would be willing to let me be their agent, probably.”

He was silent for a while and said, “Feng Hui seems to be a different person now. Why is this happening? Before this, his dream was to be an actor, but now, he devoted himself to composing songs and writing plays. I’ve known him for almost ten years. How come I didn’t know he could do these things? It’s too strange, as if someone else has taken his place…”

Su Yuanyuan rolled lazily on the windowsill, closed her eyes as she basked in the sun, ignoring the snacks in front of her. She could come home with Fang Lizhe, but she still had work to do. The dozens of dogs in the police station have found their owners, but they couldn’t find hers. Thus, they allowed her to follow Fang Lizhe home. If Fang Lizhe hadn’t said he didn’t have a pet, people in the police station would have thought she belonged to him.

In the end, Fang Lizhe discussed it with the police and they asked Fang Lizhe to take her home for temporary care. When her owner finds them, he would return her back. If no one had been looking for her, she could stay as his pet. In the past, Fang Lizhe had been struggling for his dreams, and he was too busy to keep pets. With him being free from being jobless now, he could afford to keep Su Yuanyuan company.

Fang Lizhe looked down and noticed she didn’t even take a single bite of the several snacks. He wondered, “Don’t you like it, Xiaobai? The Internet says these are little foxes’ favorite foods, aren’t they delicious?”

Seeing Su Yuanyuan lying down, he reached out and touched Su Yuanyuan’s pink belly. In shock, Su Yuanyuan turned over and jumped up as if she was shocked by electricity. She moved several meters away from him, her eyes wide open! But she saw Fang Lizhe was picking up the snacks, he said, “You must be hungry with such a flat stomach. Xiaobai, you play by yourself for a while. I’ll go cook.”

Su Yuanyuan was still immersed in shame and embarrassment when her belly was touched, already accepting the name ‘Xiaobai’. She could never get rid of it even after 10,000 years. In response, she grunted twice and ran back to the bedroom. This time, she didn’t intend to expose herself as a fox demon too early. In her previous life, Zhuo Feng was particularly cautious in keeping secrets, which directly affected her actions. She felt that if she can help secretly, she may not have to tell others that she is a fox demon in the future. Thus, it didn’t matter if she was a small pet as she didn’t have to talk to people.

As Su Yuanyuan entered the bedroom, she pulled out Fang Lizhe’s tablet and started surfing the Internet, paying attention to the online events these days. Although she doesn’t know much about the entertainment industry, she understood one thing from Fang Lizhe, that is, Fang Lizhe needed a chance to turn over now. Most importantly, Fang Lizhe, as an agent, needed an artist!

Su Yuanyuan browsed the ranking of the latest films, and the highest score in recent years was actually a comedy film featuring cats and dogs! She remembered that Fang Linlin also found her a movie starring animals to watch. Can this type of movie still gain popularity? She clicked on the trailer and looked at it. The pet’s anthropomorphic expression, funny action and funny story was really beautiful. The comment area was full of praise for its cuteness, with most viewers saying they couldn’t wait to hold the pet in their arms and kiss them!

Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and immediately began to search for relevant information on the Internet. She didn’t know which artist could be popular, and she didn’t know who the right person to sign a contract with Fang Lizhe was, but if it were an animal movie, she could do it by herself! The expressions and movements in those movies were totally fine for her, and when her photos appeared on the Internet before, the netizens were so enthusiastic, so she was sure to be popular!

With unparalleled self confidence, Su Yuanyuan soon found a pet online drama on Weibo. The owner of this microblog was a junior director who had just graduated a little over a year ago and had worked in movie crews before. This time, he said that his classmate wrote a script that was superb, and he hoped to pull a team out and shoot it himself. He was full of enthusiasm. Unfortunately, his post was mainly ignored, and he couldn’t even find a good assistant director or field manager, with no investors displaying interest.

Su Yuanyuan carefully looked at the recruitment requirements. The protagonist needs to be a cute little pet, and anyway, she didn’t find any other choice. Su Yuanyuan patted her paw on the tablet and immediately decided that this was it!

Right then, Fang Lizhe called her to eat in the living room, so Su Yuanyuan restored the tablet to its original state and ran out happily. As soon as she smelled the aroma of the food, she directly jumped to the table, staring at the chicken leg and getting down to wait obediently.

Fang Lizhe took off his apron and came over. When he saw her, he put the chicken leg on her plate. “Come and taste it, and I’ll give you other things to eat later.”

He took a bowl and filled it with soup for Su Yuanyuan. He picked out all the coriander and reacted after picking it out. He laughed, “I don’t eat coriander and I’m used to picking it out. I don’t know if you can eat it. You wanna try it?”

Su Yuanyuan was stunned, looked down at the coriander he sent to her mouth, and turned her head firmly. Fang Lizhe laughed. “It seems that you don’t like it just like me. Here, let this bowl of soup cool before drinking it.”

Su Yuanyuan bowed her head and bit the chicken leg. When she looked up, he caught a glimpse of Fang Lizhe throwing all the carrots in the side dish into the trash can, and she couldn’t help but freeze again.
