Chapter 123 Nothing

Yu Li was completely bewildered, and because she had the speakerphone on, Qi Xi next to her also heard it.

Qi Xi immediately took out her phone, opened Weibo, and even without reading the content, just looking at the trending topics made her furious.

"What is this? They're even attacking you, Lili, with their black criticisms? Are these marketing accounts crazy?"

It's one thing to criticize celebrities, but Yu Li isn't even in the entertainment industry. Apart from a few tens of thousands of followers on Weibo, she's practically an ordinary person.

Although the first episode of the celebrity interview was a hit, it was actually only Qi Chenyan and the show that became truly popular. Yu Li, as the host, did generate some discussion and buzz due to her professional skills and good looks.

However, compared to the show's explosive popularity, Yu Li's small amount of fame was quickly replaced by the show's high quality.

Unexpectedly, before the second episode even aired, the host, Yu Li, was already being attacked by marketing accounts.

Yu Li also used Qi Xi's phone to read through all the negative information.

"It must have been someone from inside the station who leaked the information."

She made that assertion with absolute certainty.

After all, it would be impossible to get this close to take a photo of the wedding ring without someone who is very familiar with the couple.

More importantly, although the background was blurred, it was still her workstation that she saw every day, so Yu Li recognized it at a glance.

Although the content of the marketing accounts is based on a few true pieces of information and then fabricated, only people inside the TV station would know so much inside information.

Qi Xi was furious: "Who is so despicable as to bribe marketing accounts to smear you so badly online while you are on vacation!"

Yu Li retorted, "Xi Xi, have you forgotten what day it is tomorrow?"

After thinking for a moment, Qi Xi quickly remembered, "I remember your show is airing its second episode tomorrow, right? Zhou Zhou is the guest again. I set my alarm early this morning to watch it as soon as it airs!"

"The day before the broadcast, they bought a show to smear me, and the trending topic was right below the promotion for Zhou Heran's celebrity interview."

"Such a precise trending topic position, after all, if it weren't for Zhou Heran's popularity, how would the public be interested in a small host like me, and how would so many netizens be attracted to leave abusive comments under my Weibo?"

"Once these negative rumors start to swarm me, Zhou Heran's fans, in order to protect their idol's image, will inevitably cause trouble at the station and ask them to cancel tomorrow's broadcast."

Even though the incident happened suddenly and she was being insulted by the entire internet, Yu Li regained her composure immediately and, within just a few minutes, began to analyze the situation meticulously.

"If my show is affected as a result and cannot be broadcast smoothly, then who will benefit the most from this outcome?"

Yu Li added a reminder: "Don't forget whose show aired today."

Xu Hui on the other end of the phone immediately understood, slapped her thigh, and exclaimed indignantly: "It's Qi Jianyue! No need to guess, it must be her doing this behind the scenes."

"This copycat saw that Xiaoyu's program was well-received and copied it exactly. I didn't expect that the higher-ups would be so confused as to agree to her proposal to make another similar interview."

"Her celebrity interview premiered today, and the initial buzz was indeed quite good, after all, Qi Xiaoyun already has a large fan base."

"But Xiaoyu, guess what? The popularity only climbed to 2.8 and then stopped. In the three-hour prime time, it just couldn't get past 3."

"This is not comparable to the first episode of the celebrity interview, which broke 3 directly, and even the highest peak was 3.2. It cannot be compared at all."

Speaking of this, Xu Hui had endless complaints: "Even after losing so completely, this guy can still find excuses for himself."

"She said she never compares herself to others, only to herself. Before the show started, she was so confident and assertive. She really wasn't afraid of making a fool of herself."

Qi Xi understood: "So, because her own show couldn't break 3 points and couldn't surpass Li Li's record, she was jealous and deliberately bribed marketing accounts to slander Li Li, so as to prevent the second episode of the celebrity interview from airing smoothly!"

After everything was explained, Qi Xi was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "Qi Jianyue, that green tea bitch, she really shatters my worldview every time. She will stop at nothing to beat you, Lili!"

"Lili, don't worry, leave this to me. I'll go find Qi Jianyue right now and tear that ugly face of hers to shreds. For example, I'll make her apologize in public, or I'll take her dog's life!"

Yu Li wasn't particularly in a hurry at first, since the gossip from the marketing accounts was all baseless and could be easily clarified.

But when she heard Qi Xi roll up her sleeves and say she was going to fight Qi Jianyue to the death, Yu Li couldn't stay calm and quickly pulled her back.

Just as he was about to tell her not to rush and not to use violence to solve the problem, otherwise Qi Jianyue would end up using this to play the victim and turn the tables on him.

Before they could even utter a word of advice, the doorbell rang, startling both of them.

"Lili, lie down and don't move. I'll go check who's here at this time."

Qi Xi was seething with anger and stormed downstairs to open the door.

On the way there, Qi Xi had even imagined that if the person who came was Yu Li's husband, she would take this opportunity to give him a good scolding.

Yu Li's body had not yet fully recovered. Although there was nothing seriously wrong, she still needed to rest in bed for about a week.

But he, as her husband, was out on a business trip at this time.

Although Yu Li said that his work was important and that he had taken care of everything at home, if everything is handled by housekeepers, then what is the point of having him as a husband?

Is it just for decoration?

"Who is it...?"

Before Qi Xi could even utter a curse, she froze when she saw Jun's face so close to hers at the doorway.

Although many days had passed, Zhou Heran still had a deep impression of Qi Xi, the young girl.

Seeing that it was her who opened the door, he was a little surprised and raised his hand to say hello.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the other person slammed the door shut again with a blank expression.

The door closed so quickly and neatly that Zhou Heran almost bumped his nose into it.

He touched the tip of his nose curiously.

What's going on? Doesn't this little girl recognize him?

No, he remembered that this girl seemed to be his fan, and had liked him for many years.

Little did they know, on the other side of the door, Qi Xi had already covered her mouth in excitement and jumped three feet high.
