The System Of Beauty
Chapter 31. The Impact of Fake News

Zee was shocked by the news that described him as a con man and had undergone facial surgery and liposuction, making it a huge shock to his career and reputation. Some even think that he is just a clone, the most advanced genetic engineering results.

Zee was shocked and could not believe that anyone was deliberately trying to destroy him by spreading false information on social media.

Initially, Zee wanted to face a series of attacks and accusations on social media and other online platforms by providing confirmation regarding negative comments, insults, and slander that flowed profusely, he said, both from his disillusioned followers and from those who pursue thrills or pansos. Because, he felt very hit emotionally and felt unfair because it was considered to do actions that actually never did.

"How can they tell something that is not true?" muttered Zee asked.

As the fake news spread and more and more media reported, Zee's agent or representative tried to deny and clear his good name. They seek to contact the relevant media, provide clarification, and gather evidence that suggests the news is untrue.

However, the impact has already happened. Brand endorsement previously obtained by Zee has revoked the contract on the grounds of a damaged reputation.

"Here, what's the fate of a career I've only just begun?" ask Zee, who is not used to the wind of gossip like the top artists.

Advertisers and clients who initially made offers for him, began hesitating to cooperate with Zee for an indefinite period of time. It also had a major impact on Zee's earnings and the future of his career.

"I have to how? Though the initial intention is not to seek popularity like this. But this ended up being famous not for accomplishments, but for ugliness."

In addition, there is pressure from the public and fans who feel disappointed with Zee. Some loyal followers withdrew their support and stopped following the latest developments from Zee. This made Zee feel lonely and lost support, which was previously received from her account subscription.

"You don't have to think about this too deeply, remember to keep it healthy, Zee. Ask for help from the agent to mention justice from the legal path."

In this difficult situation, Zee was given advice from Ami's mother, in order to contact the agency to get help from the legal team to fight slander and seek justice. He was also asked to keep his mental health in check, deal with embarrassing situations and affect his personal life.

"This problem often occurs in top artists, or famous people."

According to Mother Ami, in some cases, celebrities who face this kind of public attack can restore their reputation with the right time and effort. However, the process is not easy, and the long-term impact of such an attack can still be felt in one's career and personal life.

"Or, do you have any enemies?" ask Mother Ami, probing.

Zee just shook his head, giving an answer to the question.

In this situation, Zee chose to be quiet and not act anything for a while. He realized that taking rash actions or accusing others without solid evidence would only worsen the situation. Zee feels confident that there is someone behind all this who has ill intentions towards him, but he does not want to speculate or blame anyone without clear evidence.

Zee felt deeply saddened and devastated by the news that spread, especially about her involvement in illegal facial surgery and its impact on orphanages. He felt responsible for the news and felt very sorry for Mother Ami, who runs the orphanage.

With a shaken voice, Zee conveyed his apology.

"Mother Ami, Zee doesn't know what to say. Zee felt very sad and sorry for all this. Zee apologized, Mother. Zee apologized for the situation. Zee never intended to bring this matter to affect the orphanage and cause our orphanage to be slandered."

Mother Ami smiled gently, in a compassionate voice saying, "Zee, my son, do not blame yourself. We don't know who's behind all this. We should not get caught up in their speculations and suspicions. What matters now is how we deal with it together."

Mother Ami's answer, a little more gives calm in Zee's heart. Though his worries remained dominant.

"Ta-pi Mother Ami, this orphanage is everything to me. Zee ... Zee can't just let our orphanage smear like that. Is there anything we can do to clear our already tarnished name?" zee asked, with a trembling voice.

Mother Ami smiled again. "Of course, Zee. We're going through this together."

Mother Ami's voice sounded calm, although in her heart and mind it was not the same. He's quite upset with the person involved in the case.

"First of all, we need to gather evidence that shows that the news is not true. We can talk to the other orphanage managers, who used to help here, friends, and people who know us well to get a supportive testimony." Mother Ami, again continue her words earlier.

"Thank you, Mother Ami. Zee, very lucky to have Mother Ami. Zee, promise to do everything Zee can to clear the orphanage's good name. Zee will also try as soon as possible to fight and clean up this slander."

Yes, Zee doesn't want to stay quiet. Prayer will do everything to clear his name.

"That's what you have to do, Zee. We must remain steadfast and not let slander destroy our spirit. Mother, feel confident the truth will be revealed someday. You have a good heart, and it cannot be doubted by this fake news. We'll fight together, my son."

To be honest, Mother Ami is very worried. He also regretted having once advised Zee to accept the endosan offer, which ultimately led Zee to a complicated situation like now.

"Mother. Can Zee, ask permission?" ask Zee, suddenly.

Currently, they had calmed down more and no longer discussed the matter of news regarding Zee.

"What, Zee?" ask Mother Ami, who was worried.

"For a while, can Zee index somewhere else. Closer to the school. But, there will be someone who helps Mother, so that Mother does not bother again every day."

Finally, Zee ventured to convey her wish. He wanted to be quieter to school, but he also wouldn't ignore his younger siblings at the orphanage.
