[Instead of apologizing when her child did something wrong, Shen Mingyou forced other mothers to apologize. Does she really think she is an empress?]

[I feel sorry for Aifei and Zi Ai. No wonder Zi Ai looked unwell the next day; it was due to the allergy. Let’s support our sister Zi Ai.]

[Zi Ai follows Jiang Niannian around because she likes her. But how does Jiang Niannian, who is older, treat her? She fed her mangoes despite knowing the allergy. How can she be so thoughtless?]

[Oh, so Shen Mingyou is such a wealthy lady.]

[This video makes me so angry. Shen Mingyou, please apologize. You owe Gu Aifei and Ziai an apology!]

Soon, the number of likes for the comments on this Weibo post exceeded 10,000. As the popularity grew, related terms like #Shen Mingyou apologize#, #Shen Mingyou has gone too far#, and #Feeling sorry for Gu Aifei# climbed to the top of trending searches.

The matter quickly gained attention, and the Internet was soon filled with criticism.

However, Shen Mingyou also has many fans. They defended her online, leading to arguments with the outraged netizens:

[Jiang Niannian is not even four years old and is only a few months older than Zi Ai. It’s not wrong for a young child to want to share food. Maybe she forgot about Ziai’s allergy. She’s just a child; don’t be too harsh.]

[It’s fine if Jiang Niannian is unaware, but what about Shen Mingyou? Her child caused an allergy, and instead of apologizing, Shen Mingyou forced Gu Aifei to apologize. Just because she is wealthy doesn’t mean she can ignore common decency.]

[Shen Mingyou is praised online and gaining fame fast, but she has no significant acting skills or works. She relies on a variety show with children to build her image as a ‘rich lady.’ Even though she is rich, she doesn’t help those in need.]

[Remember when Jiang Niannian was alone at the train station? Shen Mingyou saw a young mother with a baby needing expensive medicine, but the mother had worn-out jeans and could only take the cheapest train. Shen Mingyou had money but didn’t help.]

[Being rich is personal, but criticizing others’ morals while doing nothing yourself is wrong. People who criticize Shen Mingyou may not even help others in real life.]

[Shen Mingyou uses her wealth to get whatever she wants. In the variety show “Super Mom”, each family has a set amount of screen time, but Shen Mingyou’s family has more time due to their popularity. This shows the benefits of being rich.]

[Does the length of a show depend on celebrity status? Shows compete for high ratings based on interesting content. Shen Mingyou’s family was popular, so their screen time increased. Accusing the production team of bias is unfair.]

[Are Shen Mingyou’s fans still defending her? Her arrogant behavior on the show suggests she might bully others in private. She was only pretending on the broadcast.]

[Yes, the production team edited the footage but didn’t air it. Shen Mingyou might have paid to settle the matter. But justice will come. Someone must have leaked the video to show Shen Mingyou’s true nature!]

There was a major argument online.

At Orange TV, Feng Jingze, who had just arrived at work, was shocked to see the edited video that had been leaked online. 

Feng Jingze had instructed the editing but soon regretted it. Although he didn’t know Shen Mingyou’s background initially, he targeted her secretly during the show’s first episode. Later, realizing Shen Mingyou was a top V-VIP of the H brand, he stopped targeting her and even took good care of her during subsequent recordings.

When he was watching the video being edited, he became obsessed for a moment. At that time, Shen Mingyou had not yet become the spokesperson for the H brand. He thought Shen Mingyou’s “rich lady” persona was just an act, so he ordered the video targeting her to be cut out during post-production. However, his real intention was to use it as a teaser for the next episode to create a buzz and attract more viewers.

This was a tactic to increase the show’s ratings.

But after discovering Shen Mingyou was genuinely influential, Feng Jingze decided against his original plan. So, the maliciously edited video was saved but never intended to be released.

Unexpectedly, the video data was leaked online.

This caused a major issue.

“Xiao Li, investigate this immediately! We need to find out who stole the video and posted it online!” Feng Jingze demanded angrily. “I’ll deal with this traitor!”

The thief must be someone from the station. Feng Jingze ordered Xiao Li to look into it.

Xiao Li, who had been promoted from an intern to a full-time employee in the editing room, had a good relationship with Feng Jingze. Hearing Feng Jingze’s command, Xiao Li, feeling nervous, agreed, “I’ll check it out right away.”

“Make sure to investigate thoroughly and quickly! The longer this drags on, the worse it will get,” Feng Jingze emphasized.

Xiao Li suggested, “Director, we could just release the video. Even though it’s edited maliciously, it might boost the show’s popularity. We can apologize and issue a statement later.”

“What do you know?” Feng Jingze said, pacing anxiously. “If Shen Mingyou were just an ordinary person, we could get away with it, but she comes from a prominent family. If this issue escalates, it will be bad for our station.”

Feng Jingze did not want to explain further. He instructed Xiao Li to leave and investigate.

After reading the online comments, Feng Jingze decided to visit Shen Mingyou’s home to apologize and make amends.

He believed that with enough sincerity, a personal apology and a clarification statement would resolve the situation. Shen Mingyou would likely continue recording for the show, and as the chief director of “Super Mom”, he hoped to smooth things over with her.

However, just as Feng Jingze was about to leave, he received a call from the director.

“Master, do you need something?” Feng Jingze asked respectfully.

“Why did you edit the footage to harm Shen Mingyou and her daughter?” the director shouted furiously. “Do you think I don’t know it was you who approved the editing? And now, someone leaked it online? What did you do? Did you leak the video yourself?”

Feng Jingze was startled. How did the director find out so quickly?

He tried to explain, “Director, it wasn’t me who leaked the video. But I admit I’m at fault as the chief director…”

Before he could finish, the director yelled, “You’re at fault alright! Have you lost your mind? How could you be so stupid?”

“Director…” Feng Jingze pleaded, “Please listen to my explanation.”

“Don’t call me director!” the director snapped. “I’m not worthy to be called your director! You think you’re so important that even Orange TV can’t handle you? You’re so capable, why don’t you go to heaven…”

Feng Jingze was stunned by the director’s outburst. He realized the problem was with Shen Mingyou, not with himself.

“Director, don’t worry. I’ll personally apologize to Shen Mingyou and issue a clarification statement. I’ll also have the other mothers issue statements. Once we clarify things, the online backlash should decrease, and Shen Mingyou will hopefully calm down…”

The director’s anger flared again: “Why issue a clarification statement? The best solution now is to release the original video without the malicious editing. The public will see the truth and stop slandering Shen Mingyou…”

Feng Jingze whispered, “Director, the original video was completely deleted by the staff who stole it. We can’t release it now!”

“What did you say?!” The director was silent for three full seconds. “Damn it, Feng Jingze, if you want to die, just go do it alone. Why drag everyone else down with you?”

“Master… I’ll go and apologize…”

“Your apology means nothing!” the director said, dejected. “Do you know that Sanyan Technology, Lin Group, and Lingyu Capital have all called to terminate their partnerships with us? All advertising, program, and charity sponsorships will be stopped!”

Feng Jingze’s face turned pale. He asked blankly, “Why?”

“Why? Because you offended Shen Mingyou! Just because you offended Shen Mingyou, the three biggest sponsors are pulling out. Can you afford the compensation?!”

Sanyan Technology, Lin Group, and Lingyu Capital?!

Feng Jingze sank to the ground, his legs giving out. 

It’s over. It’s all over now!
