Seeing that Nie Qixing was angry, Zhou Zheng did not dare to continue shouting. He lowered his head and said softly, "Um, wasn't Zhang Yin taken away by the police yesterday?"
"Get to the point." Nie Qixing was very impatient.
Zhou Zheng could only say the key point: "Many media reporters came and took photos, and then made this matter a big deal on social media. This is not the point. The point is... the media found out that you also have shares in the club, so..."
Nie Qixing's expression changed slightly, and he unconsciously put down the hand that was pinching his nose, and was lost in thought for a long time.
Seeing his big reaction, Zhou Zheng whispered again, "Master Qi, what exactly does this club do? Did Zhang Yin do something shameful behind your back? The media reports are not favorable to you, and there are many voices saying bad things about you on your social media accounts."
He was being very tactful and polite. In fact, after the incident became a big deal, the number of people cursing Nie Qixing on Instagram was almost as many as those cursing Zhang Yin.
Most people cursed Nie Qixing even more harshly.
Who made Nie Qixing, with the title of scientist, be involved in such shady business and be one of the shareholders of the stinky club
This alone is enough for people on social media to blast him to pieces.
But Zhou Zheng couldn't say it directly, so he could only use the most euphemistic way to put all the blame on Zhang Yin: "I know that you are not that kind of person, Mr. Qi, but if public opinion continues to ferment like this, I'm afraid... after a long time, we will be nailed to the pillar of shame by people spitting at us."
Nie Qixing had thought of this before. Without saying a word, he got up, went to the bedroom, found his phone, logged into his social account, and looked down.
He has a social media account with more than 1 million followers.
This number of fans is not considered top-tier traffic on Instagram, but it is definitely unique among scientists.
He is young and knowledgeable. He seldom posts photos of himself, but usually posts contents from his laboratory or scientific journals.
But this actually attracts more attention from young people. Many fans regard him as a legend, believing that he is the most approachable scientist, young and talented.
Nie Qixing usually saw many compliments on himself, but this time when he opened the private messages in the background, he saw thousands of private messages full of disgusting insults towards him.
Every word was vicious and ugly.
Hypocrite, masked man, sanctimonious clown, two-faced man, etc. The more unpleasant the words, the more there are.
Nie Qixing couldn't bear to read any more private messages. He threw his phone on the sofa, sat back down, looked up and asked Zhou Zheng, "Do they have any evidence?"
It was the first time Zhou Zheng saw him so embarrassed and his voice was hoarse. He immediately reacted and shook his head and said, "No, no? I didn't see any evidence published in the media."
Nie Qixing himself felt that Qiao Nian could not possibly obtain solid evidence, but he was still troubled by Qiao Nian's move: "How dare they talk nonsense to the media without any evidence? And where are our people? What's going on? Why did they let them release this kind of news?"
Nie Qixing thought he was trying his best to suppress his anger, but Zhou Zheng was still startled by his gloomy face and said more cautiously: "I don't know how this news was released... But for things like this, there is no need for evidence. Just the media spreading rumors can easily ferment to a point where it cannot be reversed."
