Chapter 57 - 57 56 Reversal

Chapter 57: Chapter 56 Reversal Chapter 57: Chapter 56 Reversal Why not go straight to him? He even added two question marks.

Wenyan immediately replied to Shen Jinghe with three question marks.

‘You should know that I didn’t start this chat group, right?’

‘No shit’

‘And you should also know that the decision to leak the information online was made after discussing it with the director, right?’

‘…Uh, I guess.’

‘So of course I turned to the director. He must’ve told you that I want to withdraw from the hot search. If it’s going to be withdrawn, yours will be removed as well.’

‘That’s why I’m saying you should’ve come directly to me.’

‘Whatever, it’s all the same. Now that he’s also started a group, let’s talk about it here.’

It’s all the same? Shen Jinghe suddenly felt less inclined to be the good guy behind the scenes.

He had been involved in this matter from the beginning, and the reason he left everything to Zhou Junye was that he didn’t want to burden Wenyan with the psychological load.

He definitely didn’t want an insider to leak it later on, causing her to be scolded by fans. After all, it was because of her insistence that they decided to go this route in the first place.

Seeing how things were unfolding, it seemed better to let her bear a bit of the psychological burden.

Otherwise, she would start to sound too airy when speaking.

And in the next second, Zhou Junye also began to speak up in the chat group.

Zhou Junye: ‘This group was created to discuss withdrawing from the hot search. The online discussion has been very high these past few days, and Wenyan’s view is that this isn’t entertainment news and shouldn’t be discussed like this. But both the crew and you two are on the hot search, and she suggests removing it. Jinghe, what do you think?’

Shen Jinghe: ‘Agreed’

Wenyan: ‘Great, unanimous approval! Now, the next issue we’ll face is the most, most, most important one.’

Zhou Junye: ‘What issue?’

Wenyan: ‘Hehe, the cost. How are we going to split it? Evenly, by keyword per person, or some other standard? I have no experience with this at all.’

Zhou Junye: ‘Don’t worry, I have experience!’

Shen Jinghe, in his mind: Experience? What the hell experience do you have? The experienced one is my studio.

Wenyan: ‘That’s just great, so shall we get started now?’

Zhou Junye: ‘Don’t worry’

Wenyan: ‘Okay then, I’ll just sit back and wait for the good news from Director Zhou!’

The discussion in the group concluded with that.

Zhou Junye also immediately went into a private chat with Shen Jinghe.

‘The task is at hand. Let’s get it done quickly. The hot search has been up for several days now; it’s better to take it down sooner rather than later.’

Shen Jinghe: ‘I thought you were experienced and bragged about it to others, didn’t you?’

Zhou Junye: ‘…Are you upset?’

Shen Jinghe: ‘No.’

Zhou Junye: ‘Then when are we pulling the hot search?’

Shen Jinghe: ‘Tell Wenyan, it’s actually me who’s been handling all this.’

Zhou Junye was baffled.

‘Your attitude towards Wenyan is quite enigmatic; I really can’t figure you out. Can you explain? I’m too curious.’

‘Put away your curiosity!’

Just look at how Wenyan is fawning over Zhou Junye, as if she owes him a debt.

If she really did owe a debt, then the creditor would be him, Shen Jinghe!!

So that very night, all the related trending searches were demoted in visibility, and the matching keywords became unsearchable.

And this, of course, sparked a new round of discussions.

‘666! All the trending topics are gone, just who on earth is Wenyan, does she have a sugar daddy behind her?’

‘Yes, all search entries related to Wenyan and Chai Zhaodi are gone, even the keyword “Wenyan riding the heat wave” can’t be found anymore.’

‘Heh, impressive. They’re swift to withdraw Trending Searches. She probably thought that by piggybacking on a viral social news she could establish a righteous image, but netizens just aren’t buying it.’

‘No, I’m just a bystander and I can’t watch this anymore. Aren’t you people who keep harping on this actress biased?

Surfing the net all the time, you’ve got to know that it’s not just this actress’s keywords that have disappeared tonight, right?’

‘Not just this actress, but also the big star Shen Jinghe, and the film crew of “Lost Voice”, which they participated in, their related trending search topics have also been removed. So does that mean the big star and the entire film crew also have sugar daddies?’

‘Exactly, I was just a passerby to SJH, but now his fans keep attacking a minor actress, and I’m close to turning against him.’

‘His fanbase is just troublesome. Any actress, as long as she’s a woman, will be attacked just for appearing in the same frame as him.’

‘Wuu wuu wuu, don’t be like that, Miss Passerby above. Most of the Shen Family fans are of high quality. You can go to our super-topic and see for yourself, really, we forbid the malicious smearing of any other actors.’

‘I can only say that SJH’s fanbase is too huge, not everyone has joined the official fan group. It’s still better in the public square, but you should go to Wenyan’s circle and see. They’re even more vicious there.’

Indeed, since the keywords and entries were blocked, some extreme netizens ran to Wenyan’s own account to curse at her.

And quite a few people went straight to the film crew’s social circle, seemingly setting off another wave of heated discussions.

The netizen ‘April’s Little Joy’ couldn’t stand it anymore.

She couldn’t help but post a status and shared a screenshot of her private message conversation with Wenyan.

Accompanied by the text, ‘Some people really think ill of others’ intentions. Wrongly accused by scum and having even Shen Jinghe come out to clear the air himself, you wife fans just can’t let go of Wenyan. No matter what she does, or seems to do, you’re never satisfied and accuse her of clout-chasing. Seeing these wild guesses late at night really infuriates me! Just look at the screenshots.’

‘You are stars scattered across the sky when you disperse, but when you come together, you are a blazing fire. Damn, Wenyan’s pattern is really big.’

‘If you think that person is Teacher Shen, then you are Teacher Shen, in front of this incident we are no different. Aaaah, who understands, I really love this sentence.’

‘Wuu wuu wuu, I’m literally crying, really moved!’

‘Indeed quite moving, but besides being moved, I think I’ve spotted something! At first, Little Joy was trying to ask if Wenyan leaked that news for investigation, but then Wenyan said all these. I think it’s her. Why? Because if it wasn’t her, she could’ve just denied it, but she didn’t!’

‘Floor +10086, I think so too. Just deny it and it’s over, no need to say all that.’

‘Hehe, you can’t be serious, do people really believe that? If she really started it, why not admit it? Being ambiguous is just for clout. A bunch of idiots are being played in circles and still speaking for her. As expected, all entertainers are cunning.’

‘Exactly, that Little Joy is someone Wenyan paid for, the picture is photoshopped, anyone can photoshop such screenshots, give me ten minutes, I can photoshop a hundred of them.’

This comment, as soon as it was posted, immediately got thousands of likes.

April’s Little Joy, unable to contain her anger, simply recorded her phone screen, and then posted the video to prove that she didn’t photoshop the image.

Yet she was accused of being a paid shill by Wenyan. In that moment, she didn’t know how to respond.

However, just at that moment.

Another hot comment emerged.

‘Hahaha, be careful what you wish for. You said Little Joy is a shill, why don’t you first check out what the director of “Lost Voice” posted!’
