Chapter 542 Who said she didn't donate?

The PR guy and his assistant didn't quite understand what Gao Min meant at first, until they saw the new topics trending in red on the hot topic list.

#Ye Wanxi the Whistleblower#

#Ye Wanxi's friend#

#Who said Ye Wanxi didn't donate?#

The two were bewildered: "???" What kind of weird titles are these?

Upon clicking in, I discovered that just a few minutes ago, the official account of Y Province, where the virus was first discovered but whose epidemic is now more severe than in other provinces, had posted a message.

The post briefly summarized the current state of the epidemic in the province, and also highlighted the whistleblowers of this virus outbreak. At the end, it tagged Ye Wanxi, Feng Tianyu, and the Shi brothers.

Below were pictures of Ye Wanxi and others in protective suits busily working in various corners of the hospital. Even though Ye Wanxi was completely covered up, her expressive eyes still made her instantly recognizable.

This post caused a huge uproar. Not long ago, the haters and trolls who mocked Ye Wanxi for not donating money and lacking social responsibility suddenly felt like they had been slapped hard in the face, their faces almost swollen like pig heads.

Some passersby who were unaware of the facts were also confused.

[What's going on? Isn't Ye Wanxi a celebrity? How did she become a whistleblower? Is she a doctor or something?]

I was completely baffled. A minor celebrity, you could say she was full of a sense of mission, rushing to the front lines as a volunteer as soon as she learned about the epidemic, I'd believe you. But to say she was a whistleblower, I have to resort to conspiracy theories.

Similar doubts and even questions have emerged one after another.

Gao Min raised an eyebrow. This time, she didn't remain silent. Instead, she logged into her verified account as Ye Wanxi's agent and posted a status update with the hashtag.

The post included Ye Wanxi's itinerary for that day, indicating that Ye Wanxi happened to encounter a patient infected with the virus while on business in Y Province with two doctor friends. Coincidentally, both of her doctor friends had been paying attention to the virus and recognized its true nature at a glance, reporting it in time, which led to today's official thank-you post.

Not long after Gao Min posted this update, the official account of Y Province heard about it, liked it, and confirmed the authenticity of her statements.

After reading the whole story, netizens commented...

Holy crap, where can I find a doctor friend like this? It's like being able to take off on a silver platter!

Having followed so many scandals involving this minor celebrity, just when I thought things were getting outrageous enough, she always manages to redefine my understanding, showing me with her own experiences that there's always something even more outrageous! However, she's incredibly lucky; she even managed to become a whistleblower on a trip out of province with a friend. The most amazing thing is that every time someone tries to smear her, someone else steps in to debunk her claims; she truly never disappoints.

[Ha, what do you mean by "becoming a whistleblower"? Some people shouldn't be so quick to judge. Would you want such a privilege? This is a virus we've never encountered before, and it's highly contagious with no effective treatment. Severe cases can be fatal, and even if you survive, you'll suffer long-term consequences. If it were some people, they wouldn't even consider being whistleblowers; they'd probably stay and volunteer. They'd probably run away the moment they learned how dangerous this virus is.]

[I'm curious, what business did they go to Y province for? Honestly, the people of Y province should thank the person who sent them there. It was because of him that they went to Y province, stumbled upon the virus, and reported it early. Otherwise, Y province would definitely have far more infections than it has now.]

In any case, the mere mention of "whistleblower" is enough to quell all the criticism.

However, the official account of Y Province clearly does not intend to let this go.

Less than half an hour after the first post was published, the second post followed immediately.

While the first post mentioned several people, these two posts were clearly made specifically for Ye Wanxi.

This post refers to the batch of medicinal materials donated by Ye Wanxi in conjunction with the Bai family.

Transporting medicines directly by helicopter is one thing, but the most important thing is that medicines are in short supply during this critical period.

Some things can't be bought with money, and some things can't be transported with money.

Ye Wanxi may not have donated the most money, but what she donated was the most essential and practical.

The official account expressed its deepest gratitude to Ye Wanxi for her selfless dedication, and added at the end that eight or nine out of ten patients in Y Province are now using this batch of drugs.

For them, Ye Wanxi was also one of their saviors.

This post can be said to have utterly refuted those angry young people who cursed Ye Wanxi for not donating money.

Yes, she didn't donate money, but she donated what is most scarce at the moment.

Some people who initially had reservations about Ye Wanxi getting the title of whistleblower for free through her friend shut up after seeing this.

Some bystanders who had previously disapproved of netizens' moral blackmail finally stood up at this moment and said a few good words for Ye Wanxi.

[Before, I was brainwashed by my friends who were into celebrities, and I never really liked Ye Wanxi. I thought she was pretentious and hypocritical, and that she'd ruin herself sooner or later because of all the things she donated! But today, just because of these donations, I'm a fan!]

She's truly a wonderful person. Ever since I became a fan, she's been there for me wherever I'm in trouble. Most importantly, she rarely promotes the good deeds she does. Many of her good deeds were only revealed by those in the know after being criticized and exposed.

[Like today, if it weren't for those unknown creatures spewing filth at her, and even the official account jumping out to thank her, we wouldn't know she'd done so much.]

[Yes, yes, she really did so much. But ironically, under these tags, there's even a hashtag specifically criticizing her for not donating. It's heartbreaking to think about.]

[Some people are just disgusting. They're fiercely attacking online, but cowardly in real life. You should know that while you were charging into battle with your keyboards, indiscriminately cursing others, those people were already deep in the epidemic area, fighting on the front lines, and even donating a lot of supplies. What about those who were the most vocal in their criticism? Show us how much you donated—did you even donate a hundred?]

In less than an hour, public opinion completely reversed. The reversal was so swift that even these seasoned online trolls probably couldn't have predicted it, let alone the people who orchestrated it all.

What's even more unexpected is that this matter did not end there.

Just as everyone was discussing Ye Wanxi's friends and the supplies she donated, a video of #YeWanxiOrphanageDirectorAngrilyScoldingReporters# quietly climbed to the bottom of the trending topics list and then rose rapidly, quickly igniting a new wave of discussion.
