Chapter 77

This Weibo post included three pictures. The first was a commemorative photo of He Tong with his arm around Miao Zhizhi's shoulders. The second was a candid photo taken in the hotel corridor, which blurred the back of Miao Zhizhi and half of He Tong's body, making it look like the two were hugging each other. The third was a solo photo of Miao Zhizhi in Dongcheng.

The news broke early in the morning, but it was a weekday, and many netizens commuting during rush hour clicked on it to get their take, causing Weibo to freeze for a while.

Regarding this rumor, fans of Tongze have a similar reaction: Why is it her again? How many times has she posted about it?

Passersby who are familiar with He Tong's style are helping the parties involved and waiting to see a good reversal.

He Tong has been trending lately, and some netizens who've only just met him have taken his news for granted. Of course, celebrity romances aren't a big deal these days, so most people just join in the fun, commenting on the couple's talent and beauty and anticipating their upcoming drama.

The most noticeable ones were Miao Zhizhi's fans, who rushed in and started lashing out at the blogger, then cursed He Tong for not being worthy of their goddess. Their endless stream of Zuan quotes startled the onlookers.

Are MZZ fans really that scary? [Shocked]

[This is just a rumor. Neither side has come out to confirm it. Is it necessary to curse like this? [Shocked] +1] [This isn't the first time Mzz has been involved in a scandal. Didn't she often have scandals when filming before?] [Her fans have always been like this. It's just that the person she was rumored with didn't go public, so the two fans just fought each other and outsiders didn't know. [Eat melon]] [I'm scared, I'm scared. No wonder celebrities have to hide when they're dating. Who can stand this?] [This is just a distorted fan culture created by certain studios trying to exploit their fans. The fans of actor He Tong are unhappy, but they didn't jump out to curse Mzz.] [Why hasn't the person involved responded yet? He Tong is always very active.] [Look at the time difference, bro. It's midnight in Dongcheng now.]

This scandal was hotly discussed online, but in reality, no one would have thought that Miao Zhizhi's agent was scolding her.

"What's wrong with you! Didn't I tell you not to go after Ye Yuze and He Tongchao?"

"I can't do anything!" Miao Zhizhi cried with tears in her eyes. "I haven't received any notices in a year. Am I going to be put on ice forever? Now I'm relying on my old dramas to survive. If I don't stir up some hype, even my fans will forget me!"

The agent sighed and said, "I told you from the beginning that you could just flirt with Mr. Li's son and get some resources. But you were so obsessed with marrying into his family. How could Mrs. Li not take advantage of you?"

"Why are you still talking about this now? I can't stay in this company anymore. I have to find a way to leave now! How are your contacts with other companies going?"

“They said you could collect it if you terminated the contract, but now this penalty…” The agent shook his head.

Miao Zhizhi gritted her teeth and said, "So whether I can succeed depends on this one time!"

The agent looked at her disapprovingly, "Then you should have discussed this with me first. You couldn't find anyone else to fire someone, so you turned to He Tong. Don't you see, everyone he fired ended up getting burned."

"He's so famous now. No one else can have the same popularity as him." Miao Zhizhi pouted in grievance. "Besides, I don't really want to start a scandal with him. I just want to use his popularity to attract attention. I'll release a clarification video later. He's a grown man, there's no need to be so stingy."

"It's hard to say. He Tong always confronts people directly, and you've already been involved several times." The agent was worried. "You'd better post a clarification video quickly and take the initiative. If he responds first, he might be very harsh."

"Wait a little longer, it's still early, let's wait until the popularity gets higher." Miao Zhizhi didn't know if she was comforting her agent or herself. "I have a fan who works for an airline. I asked him to find out He Tong and his friends' flight. They should be on the plane now, but they don't know about this yet."

The agent was silently scrolling through Weibo. Suddenly, he paused, raised his phone, and said, "Who said he was on the plane? He already replied!"

Stunned Miao Zhizhi hurriedly opened Weibo.

He Tong posted a video on the hot search and tagged the marketing account.

@贺同V: I didn't even know I had a secret girlfriend, but you knew it all too well. Which millionaire photo-editing artist did this? Can you tell me about it? @瓜田守望者V's video shows him, Ye Yuze, and Miao Zhizhi taking a photo together, and it ends with a freeze frame of the three of them—the person He Tong is hugging by the shoulder is clearly Ye Yuze.

The fans of Tongze and bystanders in the comments were all laughing like crazy.

[I've always felt that there was something wrong with that picture, the perspective was weird, it turned out to be photoshopped!] [I always feel that what makes Tongzi most angry is that Zezi was photoshopped out of the picture. [Laughing]] [Tongtong: Even if you're trying to ride on the popularity of others, you still have to abide by the basic law. I'm clearly hugging Zeze, and you dare to replace him! You'd better get out of here!] Miao Zhizhi was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone: "What, what should I do? How can he still be online?"

The agent urged, "Hurry up and post a clarification video before he gets to you!"

"Oh, oh..." Miao Zhizhi, who was at a loss, quickly operated her mobile phone.

"After you post it, I'll hire some online trolls to play you down. There's still hope! I'm contacting people now. How much money can you spare?"

"No, no more..." Miao Zhizhi hunched her shoulders. "I used the last money I had to buy that marketing account and the trending search this morning..."

The agent's hand that was about to contact someone paused, and he stared at her blankly for a long time, then sighed heavily.

At this time, He Tong and Ye Yuze, who had not slept yet because they got up late today, were also paying attention to the developments on the Internet.

Before He Tong could post his second Weibo post, Miao Zhizhi's response popped up first.

In the video, Miao Zhizhi burst into tears, sobbing and saying that she and He Tong had never been more than friends, and that the rumors were all fabricated by marketing accounts. She also produced several photos, claiming they were taken in Dongcheng several years ago and that she was currently at home. She then pleaded with her fans not to believe the rumors and to stop insulting others, before finally discussing her current situation.

He Tong frowned as he watched, "What is she doing? Spreading a rumor and then refuting it to gain two waves of attention?"

"Not only that, from what she said..." Ye Yuze raised an eyebrow, "She's hinting at her fans raising money to pay for her breach of contract."

On another phone, Fang Chen, who was video chatting with the two of them, also said, "I just found out. Miao Zhizhi dated the son of a major shareholder of her company for a while and wanted to marry him, but the shareholder's wife disagreed and asked her son to break up with her. However, the two of them continued to linger for a long time, and the wife got angry and had the company shelved her. This time, she probably saw your popularity and wanted to get more attention so she could leave her former company."

"Indeed." He Tong stroked his chin. "Her post-suspension association has already issued a fundraising appeal and made its account public. They're really impatient."

Fang Chen complained to him: "It's because of your 'notorious reputation' that she doesn't dare to offend you to death."

"I don't think my reputation is strong enough for her to dare to come after me and stir up rumors about me." He Tong said as he operated his phone. "Find someone to spread the word. I'll see how many die-hard fans are willing to pay her."

Fang Chen shrugged. "There's no need for us to be the bad guys. I've already passed the news to that lady. Let's see how she handles it. She's in the same circle as my mother, and according to my mother, she doesn't seem like the type to break up a couple. There might be something else going on."

Ye Yuze leaned over to look at the phone in He Tong's hand and found that he had sent another video.

@贺同V: The incident happened at the hotel where I stayed while filming "Bladeless Blade." I didn't even notice where the person was hiding at the time. Paparazzi who took the photo, your camera work is pretty good. Should you take some directing classes?

That was the surveillance camera in the hotel corridor. It could be clearly seen that Miao Zhizhi took the initiative to knock on the door, but He Tong came out from the door next to it. The two had no contact throughout the whole process. When Miao Zhizhi walked towards He Tong, He Tong quickly went back to the room and closed the door.

This time, fans and netizens in the comments were rolling on the floor with laughter.

[It's so funny, Tongtong closed the door as quickly as if he was avoiding a flood, but he still couldn't avoid the paparazzi's clever use of the camera. ] [Are those Zhizhi fans who just scolded He Tong for harassing the goddess in the hotel? Did you see clearly, it was your goddess who took the initiative to look for him. ] [mzz Did he knock on the wrong door? How did He Tong come out from another door. ] [Since he came to block someone, he shouldn't knock on the wrong door. I'm pressing a cucumber, and the room next to it is Master Ze's room. [Pushing glasses]] [It's a good thing Tongzi wasn't in his room, otherwise, if he opened the door, who knows what would be photographed! ] Seeing He Tong's Weibo post that said nothing but seemed to say a lot, Miao Zhizhi's legs went weak. She hurried to ask her agent: "Sister, how is the fundraising going?"

The agent shook his head. "It's just the beginning, how could things change so quickly? And look at the fan group. When the fans saw He Tong's latest post, their emotions were a little off."

Miao Zhizhi covered her face and sobbed, "How could he do this..."

But this is not the end.

Half an hour later, another marketing account posted a viral trend: #TrueMiaoZhiZhi#. It contained intimate photos of Miao Zhizhi on dates with various people, most of which were candid shots. The men were censored, but their figures revealed they were different people, and many were clearly middle-aged or older.

Weibo crashed for the second time within one day.

The agent, who had been keeping an eye on the fans, sighed: "A lot of people are saying they're going to stop being fans, and some are even saying they're going to come to Weibo to criticize them back..."

Miao Zhizhi's phone fell to the ground—she was done...

He Tong whistled when he saw this trending search: "Wow, I really can't tell."

Ye Yuze curled his lips and smiled: "Don't waste this popularity, just promote "Dream Travel" directly."

Originally, the promotion plan for "Dream Travel" was to launch it during their roadshow, but since so many people came to eat He Tong's melon today, it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to launch it.

So, the official Weibo account of "Dream Travel" released the first Weibo post, and both the official Weibo accounts of Xingchen and Zhilei quickly forwarded it.

Not long after, #He Tongye and Ze Shuang, two movie emperors, star in the web drama You Meng# became a hot topic.

Netizens who had just happily enjoyed a wave of melons were shocked this time and dropped the melons in their hands.

What? Two movie stars in a web drama? Is this a typo or are we just seeing things?
