Chapter 74 The Unlucky Worker But unfortunately, his wish was destined...

Ever since that paparazzi known as "Gun Bro" released that shocking revelation, the popularity of related topics and hashtags about Zhou Qixue has been soaring on major social media platforms. Not only on Weibo, but also on Green Petal Sweet Potato, there are countless posts about him.

The entertainment groups on Green Petal were almost completely flooded with posts about Zhou Qixue, with the homepage showing a whole row of posts no matter how many times you refreshed it.

Unlike other platforms, GreenPeace is a relatively niche app with lower daily active users. There are also barriers to joining groups, and each group has its own slang. New users who click on this app usually don't even know how to join a group, let alone post.

Simply put, those who can get involved in the gossip by touching the green petals are basically seasoned fans, with various fan affiliations; there are no casual observers among them.

Just after Zhou Qixue's studio issued that absurd clarification statement, Zhou Qixue's fans briefly took control of the situation. Although many people still didn't believe it, the fans, who had been suppressing their emotions for a long time, seemed to have found an outlet. They completely ignored the fact that the clarification statement was actually illogical and engaged in a fierce battle with the casual netizens.

These extreme fans were incredibly powerful, and at one point they really turned the tide of public opinion in the square.

But Green Petal is different. The netizens here are all seasoned veterans. That flawed clarification statement couldn't fool them at all; instead, it made them laugh even more.

As expected, not long after, paparazzi Qiang Ge responded to Zhou Qixue's studio's statement again, even releasing a lot of solid evidence. This time, Zhou Qixue's studio fell into complete silence. Anxious fans wanted to refute it, but they had no supporting evidence and could only keep urging the studio on Weibo.

The gossip group's homepage is incredibly lively; the group hasn't been this bustling in a long time. It's clear that only big gossip can really liven up the group.

After releasing that huge amount of solid evidence, Gun Bro has been quiet for the time being. Although he said he still has a lot of evidence to release, it seems he doesn't plan to release it for now. If Zhou Qixue chooses to continue to be stubborn, he will continue to release evidence.

The gossip-loving netizens in the gossip group, who never miss a good show, are all hoping that Zhou Qixue's studio will release another humorous clarification response like the one just now, so that Gun Brother can come out and fight back.

But instead of a clarification or a new paparazzi report, what we got first was fresh, solid evidence from a member of the gossip group.

[Title: Before the paparazzi drop more bombshells, let's have a taste of what I, a preschool fan of Zhou Qi, have to offer as an appetizer.]

Main post: First of all, as is customary, I won't post my Weibo verification. I'm a long-time fan in the Zhou circle, and everyone knows who I am. Verification of my business dealings, offline activities, and related data will be posted at the end.

I'd say I'm a fairly big fan of Zhou Qixue (周齐学), with some close friends who share the same fandom, and some fansite admins who follow him to offline events. We have tons of leaked photos and videos of Zhou Qixue, some we took ourselves and some we bought. My friends and I have spent six figures just on buying various leaked photos and videos, so don't worry about the source of the solid evidence. Below are some of the solid evidence photos [images][images][images][images]

Actually, we knew long before the paparazzi released the gossip that Zhou Qixue had a girlfriend. Of course, only a small group of us who followed him offline knew about it. Everyone kept it to themselves and didn't say anything. We've been debating whether to release the evidence against him. We've written several versions of the gossip, but haven't published it yet. We all hope that things will get better for him.

One reason we didn't post it at first was that although we had solid evidence, we didn't have enough, and we didn't follow the gossip comprehensively enough. My friend and I photographed Zhou Qixue and his girlfriend together at least five times, and there were countless photos of his girlfriend getting into his film crew's trailer. Although it's infuriating that he faked his single status, it's quite comforting to see that he's been devoted to one person. After all, everyone knows that relationships in the entertainment industry rarely last.

Who knew this guy would get involved in something so big? First of all, he had more than one partner, and secondly, none of them were women. Seriously, my friend and I were absolutely stunned when we saw the exposé. We thought we had uncovered the hidden truth of the entertainment circle, but it turned out that our speculations were completely wrong.

After comparing the video and photos taken by that paparazzi, we can roughly tell that the person we photographed is the same person as the person he photographed; the difference is that we didn't capture the whole person.

When I saw the news trending on social media, I actually felt a sense of relief. This day had finally come. I have to say I really hoped this would be exposed, but as someone who genuinely liked my ex, I didn't want this revelation to start with me.

I never expected that Zhou Qixue, the Great Sword Tomb, would dare to issue a clarification, and such a ridiculous one at that, even using AI. Since that's the case, I have no choice but to reveal the evidence I have.

Although the paparazzi may not need my help, I still have to post this. Consider it a summary of my fangirling career. I won't be so emotionally invested in my fangirling anymore.

Finally, the self-proof section:

If any of Zhou's fans see this post, I sincerely advise you to turn back now. This kind of person is not worth liking. Your sunk costs are no higher than mine. The sooner you get out, the better. Don't defend this rotten person.

If any fellow fans recognize me, please remain silent. My account will no longer post any content.

[1L: Holy crap!]

[2L: Holy crap, this is amazing!]

[3L: Mayan Group's Connections]

[4L: Wow, this is a real fan. Real fans are coming out to expose you. Zhou Qixue, you've committed heinous crimes! Stop struggling and just leave the entertainment industry and apologize.]

[5L: This picture matches Gun Bro's! The one getting into the RV is the first one to enter Zhou Qi Xue's room, right?]

[6L: I already knew... You Zhou fans are really tolerant, you can even cover this up]

...

[83L: Six figures... Can I be one more rich person?]

[84L: The final self-proof made me cry. Zhou Qixue, you really deserve to die. The poster is definitely a perfect fan. They never hesitate to spend money on commercials, buy magazines starting from 100 copies, and always follow offline posts and photos. They also do data analysis and content creation. Even such a doting fan has left. Zhou Qixue, you should be careful.]

[85L: Anyone who has ever followed someone in person knows that this kind of thing is both expensive and energy-consuming. You often have to run around looking for a place and wait for half a day to see them for only a few seconds. It's really tiring and drains your love. Someone who can follow someone for this long must really love them, not to mention that this person even spends money on data analysis.]

[86L: This can't be removed from the fandom, right? This poster and her friend spent more than six figures. Anyone who wants to remove her from the fandom should spend that much first.]

...

[197L: Let me share some gossip too. I'm also a Zhou fan. I've been a fan for about a year and have been attending his live shows for a year. I have similar pictures to the original poster's. I thought I was the only one who took them.]

[198L: So Zhou Qixue started dating before his debut. Some of the fans who frequently follow him offline know this but haven't said anything. However, they don't know that Zhou Qixue has dated more than one person and that he's not straight.]

[199L: My god, this guy has been hyping up RPS games like crazy lately. This guy is shameless enough to even try to sell himself by associating with female celebrities. Ye Jingyu really needs to get a full-body disinfection when she gets back. This is a complete workplace injury.]

[200L: Does anyone remember that this incident started when Ye Jingyu was suddenly exposed in a report for flirting with trainees in an attempt to purify her image, which led to her being fiercely criticized by CP fans? This was definitely the work of Zhou Qixue's studio, right?]

[201L: This is a classic case of the thief crying "whoever is chasing the thief!" I think Zhou Qi is just eager to monetize his traffic, and he still has the nerve to smear others. If it weren't for the paparazzi coming out to expose him, Ye Jingyu would be in serious trouble, if not dead. What a vicious tactic!]

[202L: OP, you're so calm. There's a faint sense of detachment in your voice. I admire your mindset. Don't be sad over such a jerk. Keep your money for yourself and make yourself happy.]

[203L: Now the paparazzi have exposed the fans, and now they've exposed the fans too. I want to see what other tricks Zhou Qixue's studio is up to.]

[204L: I'm guessing he'll play dead and most likely just ignore it.]

[205L: This kind of thing can't be ignored. Brands have already announced they've terminated their contracts with him. We're just waiting for him to lose all his resources.]

...

Less than half an hour after the exposé was posted on the gossip group, Zhou Qixue's studio went online again. This time, they didn't post anything, but quietly deleted the clarification Weibo post they had just made.

After the paparazzi himself posted a rebuttal, the studio's comment section gradually became uncontrollable. After Green Leaf's fan post revealed the information, the comment and repost sections became even more lively, filled with people from all walks of life coming to see the joke and ridicule.

Xu Yong was furious, but no matter how angry he was, he couldn't change the situation. Everyone knew that Zhou Qixue had completely messed up this time. His clarification just now not only didn't help but also made him a laughing stock. Xu Yong scolded the studio staff again because of this.

The studio's employees were speechless. Having such a boss was simply bad luck. They were the ones who had just tried their best to persuade him not to blindly clarify things, while Xu Yong insisted on clarifying things. But now, Xu Yong's anger made it seem as if they were the ones who had made the mistake.

But there was nothing they could do; work still had to be done. Not everyone has the right to quit. The unfortunate worker endured the scolding while silently logging on to delete the clarification Weibo post that had already been forwarded over 100,000 times.

As for how to handle the public relations afterwards, no one can figure it out.

After venting his anger, Xu Yong stopped talking, seemingly realizing he was in the wrong. He silently went back to his office, packed his things, and left the company first without saying a word or instructing the remaining staff what to do.

The unfortunate workers looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally, the personal assistant made a distressed call to Xu Yong for instructions.

Xu Yong, on the other end of the phone, was uncharacteristically silent for a moment before finally sighing and saying, "Go back, everyone."

What else can we do? Right now, there's nothing we can do but lie down and let ourselves be mocked.

The only thing to do is pray that a big news story breaks out in the entertainment industry soon, diverting attention away from this place.

An apology was out of the question. Xu Yong still clung to a sliver of hope. Although Zhou Qixue's matter sounded shocking, it was really just a matter of personal morality. What was there to apologize for?

Xu Yong thought this was wishful thinking, hoping to take this opportunity to take a vacation. He believed that the netizens' enthusiasm would only last a few days, and once this period was over, he could make up for the lost resources.

Unfortunately, his wish was destined to remain unfulfilled.
