Yang Fei had already made her point, so she continued, "Many fans see their idols as role models, but for people like Jin Yining and Qin Wei with tens of millions of Weibo followers, you can't expect all of them to be rational and career-oriented, just helping them with rankings and data every day, and then learning about their attitude towards life from their updates. There will definitely be some irrational fans among them; you can't demonize the entire fandom because of these irrational fans. My decision to make you disappear isn't to make you condone everything you did in the past, but because this fandom updates very quickly, and soon everyone will forget your existence and won't have any more malice towards you."

Listening to Yang Fei's words, Shang Ning seemed to have made a decision. She looked up at Yang Fei and said, "I can sue myself for spreading rumors about Teacher Qin. I will take responsibility for my mistakes. However, those who slandered me should also be punished by law. Even if it's not enough to convict them, they can publicly insult me, so they should have the courage to publicly apologize to me. Spreading rumors should not be tolerated. Spreading rumors only takes a mouth, but it can cost someone their life. Is this the result you want?"

She could even sue Shang Ning!

What she herself did also crossed the line. Sometimes, you'll never know until it happens to you that what you take for granted has long since crossed the line.

"But when you did this, did you think about Jin Yining? Jin Yining's wife suing Jin Yining's fans, do you think that sounds good?"

"So you don't think those who attack me are toxic fans? If they are toxic fans, are they still considered fans?" Shang Ning retorted.

Yang Fei was instantly stumped by that question, the kind of stump that felt like being hit on the head.

A toxic solo stan is certainly not a fan.

"President Yang, because of my relationship with Jin Yining, you are more anxious about me, so no matter what I do, you think it's wrong. But is it fair for you to do this?" Shang Ning asked again, "When my photos were leaked and spread all over the internet, did you ever think about doing anything about it?"

The photo incident remains a hurdle she can't get over. What's the difference between a scientist praised online and a toxic fan?

Yang Fei has been a manager for so many years and has managed so many artists, but she has never been asked this question before.

They were speechless when asked.

When asked, I couldn't refute it.

"You know better than I how much of the information about me online is true and how much is false. I don't ask you to do anything. I just hope that this time, Mr. Yang can stand aside and not kick me while I'm down."

Shang Ning's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, hitting Yang Fei squarely in the face.

Yang Fei began to scrutinize Shang Ning, but Shang Ning was not afraid of being scrutinized by her, or perhaps she relied on the fact that everyone in the 21st century believed in science and that no one had any evidence to suspect that she was a monster.

“Of course.” Shang Ning put away his sharpness. “There’s no deep-seated hatred between us. It’s just a grudge between one toxic fan and a group of toxic fans, so President Yang doesn’t need to worry too much.”

"So what are your next plans? Will you still participate in the competition? What about Professor He's matter? This matter has already implicated Professor He, and the timing is awkward. All the major universities are recruiting, and B University has been pushed into the eye of the storm at this time." Yang Fei composed herself and brought up the issues that Shang Ning had clearly not considered before.

Shang Ning frowned; she truly hadn't expected this.

She only wanted to resolve the Ning Kong matter and atone for her past mistakes, but she never expected it to have such a huge chain reaction.

She needs to go to B University and continue participating in the competition; otherwise, it would be considered that she has tacitly agreed to it.

The media frenzy continued, seemingly being manipulated by others. "Ning Kong," a non-celebrity fan, was even more miserable than a celebrity with a knack for attracting negative attention, being relentlessly attacked and insulted for days and nights.

The production team is also under a lot of pressure, having to deal with online attacks and carefully consider the production and editing issues of the first episode.

B University held a meeting, and the recording of He Zhiyan's program will continue. However, given the current unclear direction of public opinion, He Zhiyan's courses will be temporarily handled by teaching assistants.

The filming ceremony for "The Legend of the First God" began amidst this bloody storm.
