MMB Chapter 24 Moral Suspension
Chapter 24 Moral Suspension
When the power you possess is so great that you cannot comprehend it, so great that you cannot control it.
Perhaps it's not that you possess power, but rather that power controls you.
Before hanging up the phone, Teacher Zhou left Chu Kong with these two sentences.
Chu Kong did not respond.
Because this is his current situation, a situation he cannot resist.
However, it's better than surrendering without resistance.
Therefore, Chu Kong did not regret opening Pandora's box.
It's simply a matter of letting the storm rage on.
-----------------
at the same time.
A curious netizen posted the entire conversation between Chu Kong and Grandma Rong online.
To be precise, this incident had already caused a huge uproar during Chu Kong's live broadcast.
However, due to the rule that the production company cannot easily interfere, there is nothing anyone can do.
Regardless of what happened to Grandma Rong or Aunt Chen.
Countless people have expressed their opinions online.
Whether it's donating money or providing voluntary assistance, there are indeed people who genuinely want to do this.
Ultimately, however, these actions were stopped by the production company.
The reason given is that it is illogical.
Or rather, it interfered with the character's development.
A renowned lawyer in the industry has also come forward to defend the show, and these actions could potentially infringe on the rights of "Chu Kong Show" and ultimately lead to the show's bankruptcy.
So all this enthusiasm ultimately came to nothing.
Within hours, amidst the deluge of information, Grandma Rong and Aunt Chen's ordeal became nothing more than fodder for casual conversation.
When pain hasn't befallen you, who can truly empathize with you?
But what's different about the video posted by this netizen?
The difference is that this netizen's account belongs to a company called "Chu Kong Xiu".
This account has hidden all content related to the program.
In other words, this account was specifically prepared for Chu Kong to see alone.
Soon, other official mainstream media outlets also reported on Chu Kong's kind actions.
Some people have also expanded on this issue, creating various related topics.
For example, social responsibility, the obligation to care for the elderly, or the prevention of Alzheimer's disease, etc.
All of this was accomplished within a few hours.
Drugs that could potentially prevent Alzheimer's disease are selling very quickly.
They made a lot of money.
But at least Grandma Rong's life remained unchanged.
For Chu Kong, it meant he received a notification.
A reporter from a well-known television station also announced that he would interview him about his deeds and ask him how he felt.
It took two hours from when Chu Kong walked out of the restroom to when he received the interview notification from his supervisor.
This made Chu Kong feel even more the power of the production company, this behemoth.
This is Chu Kong's first script: arrange an interview for Chu Kong with the aim of making him famous.
For the production company, this script has only benefits, no drawbacks, and will not arouse any suspicion.
The advantage was that, after the interview, Chu Kong officially became a public figure.
Then, if he is recognized by someone or encounters anything in the future, it will not be "unreasonable" for Chu Kong.
This undoubtedly gives the production company a huge amount of room to maneuver.
As for the purpose of this script, they only thought that some big boss wanted to see Chu Kong give an interview.
Chu Kong did not refuse; on the contrary, he was somewhat impatient.
The supervisor was taken aback, but didn't think of anything else.
Which young, impetuous kid doesn't like to show off?
Shu Wenxue, however, narrowed her eyes after seeing Chu Kong accept the interview without hesitation.
-----------------
The interview was scheduled after get off work.
At the request of the filming crew, Chu Kong still wore the supermarket's work uniform.
The interview location was simply between the supermarket shelves.
According to the host, such interview locations are more authentic and have a more lived-in feel.
The other employees in the mall had already left.
But there are still many people here.
Nearly twenty people were chattering in front of him.
Between the lines of their conversation, Chu Kong discerned that the portly middle-aged man standing in the middle of the group, surrounded by others like a star, was a board member of this famous chain supermarket, and even the manager called him General Manager Wu.
At this moment, Mr. Wu's face was beaming with joy.
He's been having a really lucky streak lately.
First, the famous Chu Kong worked here, showcasing the best side of this supermarket.
It's alright, since most viewers watching the live stream are watching Chu Kong, so it doesn't make much difference whether he works in this shopping mall or another one.
However, Grandma Rong's story caused a huge uproar online, and the supermarket was even loved by netizens for its kindness (in helping Grandma Rong with all sorts of paperwork).
That's not all. Now we're going to have an exclusive "off-screen" interview with Chu Kong.
This truly made Mr. Wu feel that his time had come and everything was working in his favor.
Before he arrived here, his boss specifically instructed him to follow the arrangements made by the producers of "Chu Kong Show".
So even though Mr. Wu desperately wanted to rush up and kiss Chu Kong, he remained calm.
The only person Chu Kong knew was Teacher Long.
Since it was a student from Yulan Middle School being interviewed, it was impossible for the school to arrange for someone to do it, so this difficult task naturally fell to Teacher Long.
She is currently busy whispering with a group of people, presumably exchanging information about Chu Kong.
The filming crew was diligently installing and calibrating the equipment, while the directors and hosts were planning the content of the upcoming interviews.
They did not "check the answers" before the interview as usual.
Instead, they chose to conduct a truly impromptu interview.
Well, actually they had no choice, since the current process is being broadcast live by "Chu Kong Show".
They can't just openly do something that goes against journalism principles during a live broadcast.
They are professional journalists, and journalism is the principle upon which they live.
Journalism is sacred and inviolable.
Everyone is busy with what they are doing.
Chu Kong sat alone in his reserved spot, looking around nervously.
The unease might be an act, but the nervousness inside was real.
He observed each person's expression one by one, continuing to anticipate what would happen next.
At this moment, a microphone and camera were placed in front of Chu Kong by the staff.
He couldn't help but want to laugh.
The thought of the audience watching him film another drama in the play is something Chu Kong finds hard to say isn't interesting.
"Welcome to the special program 'Great Love in the World, Warming Hearts,' I'm your host..."
Under the somewhat glaring lights, the performance finally began.
-----------------
In a coffee shop, two stunningly beautiful young women sat side by side, attracting the attention of those around them.
In front of them was a laptop computer playing a live stream of "Chu Kong Show".
Ning Wantang asked with a worried expression, "Xiaoxue, are you really okay?"
Shu Wenxue was less nervous: "Don't worry, Tangtang. From what I've seen over this period of time, he's not someone who can be easily bullied."
"It's all my fault, Xiaoxue. If I hadn't agreed..." Ning Wantang's voice was full of guilt.
"Tangtang, you need to understand that you are just one of the hundreds or thousands of people chosen by the production company. Even if you weren't chosen, there would still be Zhang Wantang and Wang Wantang."
Shu Wenxue's voice was very calm.
"But……"
