CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 233 TAKING ACTION

In an era of information explosion, with too many channels of publicity, what is ultimately presented to the public may just be the tip of the iceberg of the original information.

However, the masses are blinded, only blindly believing in the messages deliberately released by marketing accounts.

Just like now, guided by these marketing accounts, everyone’s anger was stirred up.

Although Shu Wan was not at the scene when the accident happened to the staff of "Qingcheng", the netizens didn’t know the staff members; they only knew it was Shu Wan’s crew, and naturally assumed that it was Shu Wan who caused the staff member’s disfigurement.

In one day, with Shu Wan supposedly causing a staff member’s disfigurement, Fu Yang causing severe bleeding, and the edited hospital videos by marketing accounts, a bloody and brutal image of the two gradually took root in everyone’s minds.

In the entertainment circle, popularity with the public is paramount; after all, as actors, their work is aimed at the public, and only with the public’s support can they remain invincible in the entertainment circle.

Poor acting skills and unattractiveness are professional issues, but a bloody and brutal image, once established, is an irreparable negative that will follow an actor for life.

Because of the high popularity of Shu Wan and Fu Yang, this incident quickly fermented and spread across the entire network in a very short time.

Even the most perfect public relations team couldn’t salvage the situation, because with the current speed of news spread, even if the final investigation results came out, the damage to Shu Wan’s reputation had already been done and was hard to erase.

Others in the entertainment circle quietly watched the spectacle from behind, feeling that it would be very difficult for Shu Wan to recover this time.

At this moment, in the Estate, Shu Wan and Fu Siyu were having breakfast while Fu Yang was still asleep upstairs.

"Young Master, the Young Master said he doesn’t have an appetite and doesn’t want to eat, nor does he want to go to school."

"Mm."

Fu Siyu responded, then looked at Shu Wan, "You shouldn’t go to the crew today either."

"I wasn’t planning on going."

The sets at the Film and Television City still needed restoration, and the staff members were hardly in the mood for shooting anyway.

"Then I’m off to the company."

"Okay."

Although Shu Wan wasn’t going to work at the crew, she had other things to do.

She had originally given the pharmaceutical company a fortnight; now it seemed the timeline needed to be moved up.

Shu Wan called three managers to inquire about progress; these three did not disappoint her and had everything ready in just a few days.

Even though they thought the prescription Shu Wan had given them was useless.

"Is it costly to produce this product?"

Shu Wan took the sample they handed over and smelled it; it was made according to her prescription.

"Not high. Rui’an Mountain is rich in herbs, and we’ve already planned to cooperate with the locals, buying the herbs they grow, which will further reduce costs."

"Good," Shu Wan nodded, "I need to pick someone up from the hospital; come with me."

"Okay."

Shu Wan took these few people to the hospital. Wang Xiao was having her bandages changed and medication applied today; when Shu Wan and her group arrived, the doctors and nurses were already preparing.

Wang Xiao, a blossoming young girl, had her appearance drastically marred, and her emotional stability was extremely volatile, but for some reason, she trusted Shu Wan immensely.

When she saw Shu Wan, Wang Xiao’s eyes were fixed intently on her.

"Bear with it for a moment, we’re going to apply your medication now."

The nurse spoke while slowly unwinding the bandage wrapped around Wang Xiao’s face.

Because Wang Xiao’s face was burned, the bandage was not directly wound around her face. The bandage had medicinal properties to promote wound healing and formed a vacuum layer between the bandage and the skin, maximizing the medicinal effect without harming the skin.

As the bandage completely fell away, Wang Xiao’s face was revealed to everyone present.

Despite everyone’s efforts to maintain composure, pity still seeped through their eyes, as the burned area was too extensive, almost covering half of her face.

Luckily, it was only the skin that was damaged, not deeper tissues and bones—if it had been the latter, even deities couldn’t have saved her.

Yet, scars were inevitably going to remain.

The nurse patiently applied medication to Wang Xiao’s wounds, preparing to wrap her wounds as before to prevent secondary infection.

At this moment, Shu Wan suddenly approached the doctor, handing him a bottle of powdered medicine, "Sprinkle some of this on her face."

The doctor treating Wang Xiao was the youngest department head in the hospital, known for his meticulousness. If it were anyone else making such a bizarre request, he would definitely have asked Shu Wan to leave.
