Chapter 921 1021. Different
Just as Drake was being interviewed, the reporters waiting at the door of Nie Wei's hotel also discovered something unusual.
That is, the protesters who used to go to get off work on time every day actually left early today.
They had to wait until eight o'clock every day, but before noon today, this group of people seemed to have received the signal to retreat and ran away in a flash.
Without these "core members", the protest team that originally gathered nearly a thousand people actually lost hundreds of people in a lunch break. When it was the hottest time at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, there were only a dozen black people left downstairs, sitting there listlessly, and the banners and signs were scattered all over the ground, and no one was there to pick them up.
This scene looked like a big defeat, and even the police who were maintaining order at the scene felt a little incredible and embarrassed.
Because at this moment, the police force at the scene was already several times that of the protesters.
The two sides were always on edge, as if a gun would go off accidentally, but as the group of "core personnel" dispersed, this tense atmosphere also disappeared.
When it was hot in the afternoon, the remaining dozen black people saw the police had iced mineral water to drink, and even took the initiative to ask for it.
For a while, the atmosphere was particularly harmonious. Those who knew that the two sides were in a confrontation, and those who didn't know thought that there was some kind of police-civilian party.
And the media forces present, the group of reporters gradually discovered that something was wrong.
The first reporters to leave were those who cooperated with Jess. They got the news of the retreat at the first time, so they quietly left the scene.
When the group of black people began to leave in large numbers, some reporters from major newspapers on the scene also noticed something was wrong. Until the end, only a few tabloid reporters stayed, hoping for a miracle.
However, they did not wait for a miracle to happen, but waited for a piece of news.
"Yes, Mr. Nie Wei is a person I respect very much. What the outside world said about using wealth and power to suppress me is completely nonsense. I have never been suppressed, including my family. They are all very grateful for Mr. Nie Wei's help. "
"The situation on that day was completely different from what those people said. Mr. Nie Wei intended to use street basketball to decide with me who the court belonged to. He never put on a condescending attitude, but instead used an equal way to compete with me. Isn't this enough to show respect for us? He could have asked the police to drive us away. After all, that was his right, but he didn't do that. "
"In fact, after I was injured, although Mr. Nie Wei did not come to the hospital in person, he specially sent an assistant director to help me. He kept directing in the ambulance. I was accompanied by Drake in the clinic and he also paid for my medical expenses. I was very touched because it was my fault after all. But Mr. Nie Wei still paid for my medical expenses and bought me some fruit. To be honest, I was very touched. My mother told me that Nie Wei was a great benefactor of our family. "
"Now I just want to say to those people with ulterior motives who slandered Nie Wei that a kind person, even though you threw dirty water on him, can only dirty his appearance, but not his kind heart. And those brothers and sisters who were misled by the media, Mr. Nie Wei is a good man, a real good man, I swear in the name of God. "
With the outbreak of Drake's clarification news, after three days of commotion, the negative news about Nie Wei suddenly reversed at this moment.
The media was stunned. They suddenly found that the guy they had scolded for three days turned around and turned into a good person. Even the persecuted black guy Drake in the news called Nie Wei a benefactor.
The angle of this reversal was really big. Basically, all the reporters involved in this matter were invisibly sprained.
As things have developed to this point, the boy who was said to be suppressed by Nie Wei finally stood up, but to everyone's surprise, the boy actually stood on Nie Wei's side, and as a result, most of the media in the United States were slapped in the face.
All the words they said these days to criticize Nie Wei have become a joke. If things are exactly as Drake said, then Nie Wei is not a bad guy from beginning to end, but has always played the role of a good guy.
Of course, for the media, they don't care about being embarrassed. Years of media career have long made them thick-skinned. What they have to do is to find a way to remedy this matter.
The ones who really feel embarrassed are actually those netizens who have scolded Nie Wei online these days.
"Oh my god, what have I done these days? I actually wronged a good person."
"I knew that those damn media were reporting nonsense. The media now has no conscience, and entertainment reporters are no longer worthy of being called reporters."
"Nie Wei, I want to say sorry to you. Forgive me for believing the false news of those reporters and saying something I shouldn't have said to you. I want to express my sincere apologies to you here. You are great. Just like that Derek brother said, you are a good person."
"I know Nie Wei is a good person. He has donated a lot of teaching equipment to our community school. He never looks at us with tinted glasses."
"I said at the beginning that the news from these media should not be believed immediately, and don't make comments easily. Now I'm slapped in the face. The truth of the matter is often unexpected. Finally, I want to say that Nie Wei is great!"
"He made such a good movie, so he must be a good boy."
"Nie Wei is very good at basketball. I really want to see him sweating shirtless on the basketball court."
"That must be very handsome!"
When people know that they have done something wrong or wronged a good person, they will have an emotion called "guilt" in their hearts. This emotion will prompt these people to be twice as good to those who have been wronged.
And now Nie Wei is enjoying such treatment.
Starting from the news clarified by Drake, in just half a day, Nie Wei went from being the public enemy of all black people in the United States to the brother of all black people in the United States, and from the unscrupulous businessman who relied on power and money to suppress black people to a warm, kind and fair person.
Even Nie Wei's official fan club in the United States welcomed more than seven figures of members in half a day.
Although most of these new members joined on impulse, based on the huge basic value, even if only one-tenth of them remain in the end, it will be a very impressive data.
And the stocks of Huayi and Fanxing Group, which were affected by Nie Wei in the past few days, began to rebound after Drake's clarification.
Everyone can see that Nie Wei's crisis has been resolved, but before some people can recover from this news, the Los Angeles Times broke out a bigger news.
And this new news directly points to the black hands behind Nie Wei's negative news this time, and the first to bear the brunt is Jess.
Originally, Jess felt that he had done a good job of finishing. Even if Nie Wei could eventually find out that it was him, he could not get any decisive evidence at all.
As for whether he would be retaliated by Nie Wei, that was not something Jess had the energy to think about now. Anyway, for Jess, being able to get through this difficult time was the most important thing.
What he never expected was that the plans he had carefully planned, which he thought would end beautifully, were like Sun Wukong in the palm of Tathagata in front of Nie Wei, and he couldn't jump out no matter how hard he tried.
On the afternoon of the day when Drake clarified the news, the Los Angeles Times broke the news again, saying that Nie Wei had entrusted a team of lawyers to sue all the people and newspapers who slandered him this time.
The scale of the lawsuit was beyond many people's imagination.
There were five newspapers sued by Nie Wei, and more than 20 people sued, with Jess being the first to bear the brunt.
And Nie Wei's lawsuit was not a simple one. The media soon interviewed Delson, the lawyer in charge of Nie Wei's lawsuit. This famous American gold medal lawyer told the reporters clearly that Nie Wei had prepared sufficient evidence to prove that the people sued had played a very disgraceful role in the incident of smearing Nie Wei.
And when Delson faced the media camera, he vowed that this was a lawsuit that would win, and those who hid in the dark would be punished by the light.
Moreover, the amount of compensation proposed by Nie Wei also made many people who were watching the case exclaim, as high as 500 million US dollars. If Nie Wei really won the lawsuit in the end, then both the newspapers and those people headed by Jess would have to go bankrupt and might not be able to afford this amount of money.
Some people who don't know the truth may think that the amount of compensation proposed by Nie Wei is too much, but many people in the industry know that this amount is a very reliable compensation, and it has been professionally calculated by financial and legal professionals.
After all, Nie Wei's worth is there. Because of the slander of this group of people, Nie Wei's reputation has been affected, and the stock prices of many listed companies related to him have also been affected. This money alone is already an astronomical figure. In addition, there are many other compensations. 500 million is already a very reasonable figure.
Some people wrote a detailed article explaining why Nie Wei's compensation amount was so high, which attracted the attention of tens of thousands of netizens within an hour. After reading this article, everyone suddenly realized it.
In the words of one netizen, can the compensation for hitting a Nissan and a Rolls-Royce Phantom be the same?
This netizen summarized his words, and a group of people responded below, all saying "we are different".
It can be said that this vivid and vivid explanation immediately made most netizens understand why Nie Wei's claim for compensation was so high, and at the same time they mourned for those who were sued by Nie Wei. After all, seeing Nie Wei's lawyer's swearing in front of the media, he seemed quite confident.
However, silence is expensive, but most people are gloating, and some even want to step on these people again.
Psychologists have conducted surveys and found that humans are most likely to get angry after knowing that they have been deceived.
At this time, many netizens who have been fooled are particularly angry. If they were just simply deceived, it would be fine. The key is that the deceived netizens also feel embarrassed at this moment, and this embarrassment turns into anger, and naturally all of them have to vent on these initiators.
"These liars are playing with the will of the people. Who do they think they are?"
"Who gave them the courage to tell such a big lie?"
"Unscrupulous media and those shady people, you will be severely punished by the law. Support Nie Wei to win this lawsuit!"
"That Jess is actually a senior executive of Disney. This company that originally brought joy to children's childhood actually has such a dark termite. I am afraid that if my child goes to Disney to play, will he be treated unfairly one day?"
"Boycott Disney and punish Jess severely!"
The people who were denouncing Nie Wei a day ago denounced Jess a day later. Life has ups and downs, and things are unpredictable.
However, Jess is still unclear about the situation on the Internet. At this time, he is sweating and being questioned in the president's office.
"Did you do all this?"
"I..."
"Tell the truth!"
"It was me."
Faced with the president's questioning, Jess couldn't say all the excuses he had thought of, but what made him more frightened was the cold look the president gave him when he admitted it.
"The company has decided to suspend you indefinitely. Wait for the notification when you will be reinstated." The president waved his hand impatiently, indicating that Jess could leave.
But Jess's feet seemed to have taken root at this moment, motionless.
Because he knew very well that once he walked out of this office, he would no longer have any connection with this company. Although he was temporarily suspended, Jess knew that the next time he received a notice from the company, it would definitely be a layoff notice.
It was not that he could not give up this job, but he knew very well that in the face of Nie Wei's lawsuit, only a giant like Disney could protect him.
"President, I admit my mistakes, but for the sake of my twenty years of working for Disney, please save me." Jess's knees softened and he knelt directly on the ground.
Facing Jess, who was looking up and begging, the president's eyes did not change at all, and were still extremely cold.
"For the sake of your twenty years of working for the company, leave here now, otherwise I will call the police and let the police take you away!"
After that, the president directly picked up the phone on the table and called the security department.
Jess's eyes were dull. He could not imagine that the president would give up on him so easily. Even if he begged so much, he could not let the other party waver in the slightest.
Jess, feeling disheartened, didn't know how he was dragged out of the CEO's office. He only knew that when he came to his senses, he had been thrown into the corridor by the security guards. The employees looked at him as if he was looking at a dying old dog.
Thanks to the half-demon god, Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
