Chapter 282: Too Much Salt and Too Little Time

"Huh? Isn't their group quite wealthy? They even bought a boat for a fisherman on the show."

[I'm dying of laughter. You have money to buy a boat but no money to donate?]

[Maybe the boat purchase was fake too! They rented a new boat just for the show's effects, and then returned it after the show ended? This not only cemented their character, but also generated buzz...]

Many netizens go to Weibo out of curiosity to follow the fundraising activities initiated by Weibo Charity.

When netizens saw that some celebrities started donating money and posted their donation certificates, in addition to praise, there were also many comments in the comment section that took the lead in criticizing those public figures who had not yet taken any action.

The guests who participated in the first season of "Brothers and Sisters Together" may have seen the hot search terms on Weibo and were embarrassed to ignore them, so they also donated some money, which received unanimous praise from netizens.

With the participation of guests from the previous season, some keyboard warriors have become more vocal in discussing Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen for not donating.

Soon, the term "donation" was pushed to the top of the hot searches by netizens, and some black fans and marketing accounts took advantage of the issue to maliciously slander Meng Chuyuan and others.

At this time, Meng Chuyuan and his family were happily having lunch.

After seeing the trending searches, Lu Jinsen's agent called him and asked, "Have you seen today's trending searches?"

"No." Lu Jinsen asked calmly, "What happened?"

Ever since Lu Jinsen started arguing with netizens and his popularity gradually declined, and he began to take the black-and-red route, he began to hand over the management of his Weibo to his team. Lu Jinsen would only log into his Weibo when special circumstances occurred or when he needed to show up in person.

The agent sighed softly and said calmly, "Have you donated? If not, we will donate in the name of your studio."

When the donation was mentioned, Lu Jinsen's expression turned slightly serious: "Which donation are you talking about? I just made one not long ago."

Lu Jinsen didn't avoid the question on purpose; he answered the phone in the restaurant.

Just by listening to Lu Jinsen's speech, others can roughly guess the content of their conversation.

"It's the variety show you participated in. Did you donate?" Now the whole network is calling on the uncle and sister-in-law to speak out. As Lu Jinsen's agent, he should come out to help them solve the problem.

Lu Jinsen's condition has finally improved slightly, and they still have resources. If this matter is not handled properly, it will affect his subsequent work.

Lu Jinsen responded softly: "I donated it."

"Did you donate?" The agent's reaction was a bit surprised, and his voice was raised accordingly: "If you donated, why didn't you send a screenshot of the donation and the electronic certificate? Now everyone on the internet is saying you didn't donate, it's all trending."

In the past, Lu Jinsen's influence would not be enough to attract so much attention from netizens and make it a hot topic, but now he has Meng Chuyuan by his side, and the combined fame of the two of them directly dominates the list.

"What's so good about it?" Lu Jinsen had participated in many charity activities before, but he had never posted any information about his donations.

"This time is different, brother." Seeing how nonchalant he was, his agent hurried to explain, "You're a guest on this variety show. To put it bluntly, you're somehow involved in this donation drive. If you don't show some appreciation, how are you going to explain this to so many viewers?"

"..." Lu Jinsen fell silent after hearing this.

Agent: "Remember to post a clarification on Weibo later. If you don't, I won't be able to report to my boss."

Because of this phone call, everyone tacitly stopped talking and their eyes slowly fell on Lu Jinsen.

Lin Youjuan glanced at him and asked softly, "What's going on?"

Lu Jinsen: "Netizens said we didn't donate. Now my agent asked me to send them a screenshot of the donation."

After hanging up the phone with his agent, Lu Jinsen intercepted the remittance record and logged into Weibo, preparing to publish the donation record.

Lu Qianling put down her chopsticks and was diligently browsing Weibo. When she saw the trending search terms, she couldn't help but complain: "These netizens have eaten too much salt and have nothing to do. Even this can make it to the trending search?!"

After Lu Jinsen finished posting on Weibo as his agent requested, he raised his eyes and suddenly turned to Meng Chuyuan, reminding her, "Do you want to post one too? There's been a lot of discussion online about this, and posting this should shut them up."

He was worried that after he posted on Weibo, public opinion would be directed directly at Meng Chuyuan.

Meng Chuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly, "Are you sure you can shut them up after you send this?"

Lu Qianling's phone screen was frozen on Lu Jinsen's recent Weibo post. She clicked on the comments section to see the real-time comments from netizens. She chuckled and said jokingly, "Based on my years of surfing, I know a new trending headline is coming soon..."
