Qiao Yiyi didn't take the host's words to heart, thinking that it was just an exaggeration made by the host to attract the audience's attention.
She has finished all the events for today, and will compete in two more events tomorrow, and then she can pack up and go home.
Qiao Yiyi was in a good mood because of the huge popularity online. Although she did not have any competitions next, she was called by the program team to be the interactive host of the judging panel, which once again increased her exposure to the audience and netizens.
With her popularity on the field and online garnering attention, it's impossible for anyone among the competitors to be envious. Even the CEO of Qiao Yiyi's own company was surprised to see her continued popularity online.
I originally wanted to send her to such a program to suffer a little, to let her know that without the support of the company and the operation of capital, no matter how capable she, Qiao Yiyi, would not be able to make any waves. Unexpectedly, I still underestimated this woman's ability - she is too good at attracting people's attention.
Originally, he wanted to suppress her before her contract expired so that she would never have a chance to recover, but Qi Shaocheng has changed his mind now. It is better to keep such a person in his own hands.
Mr. Qi called his assistant and asked him whether Qiao Yiyi's parents were still in City A.
The assistant has been keeping an eye on the family's movements since Qiao Yiyi's parents asked about coming to Star Dream Entertainment. When Mr. Qi asked about it, he said no.
"They stayed in the hotel for a few days but didn't leave. Instead, they rented a house and are now doing odd jobs for others."
"Very good." Qi Shaocheng's eyes showed satisfaction. He raised his hand and signaled his assistant to find the couple, and asked the director of the operations department to come to his office.
The Star Sports Games are very popular now, and many people who placed their betting coins on Qiao Yiyi before the game should not get too excited now.
Qiao Yiyi's performance today was truly remarkable. They all felt incredibly confident that they had chosen her correctly. Especially those who predicted she would win again tomorrow, as if they could already see the prize package beckoning. They flocked to the official Weibo account to leave messages, encouraging Qiao Yiyi to cheer her on; their prize was hers.
The Internet hasn't been this lively for a long time. Almost everything I see is related to Qiao Yiyi. I don't know who took the host's words to liven up the atmosphere seriously. Now there are rumors online that Qiao Yiyi is really going to participate in the Olympics.
He Yao frowned slightly while holding the phone.
Brother Bin asked him what was wrong? Why did he look so unhappy when it was obviously a good thing?
He Yao didn't say anything. Qiao Yiyi had been on the hot searches many times in the past, but none of them were as fierce as this time.
Everything has its limits, and great enthusiasm often leads to failure.
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, just as the whole nation was celebrating and various media platforms were hotly discussing Qiao Yiyi's cheetah run and kangaroo jump, a video suddenly went viral on the short video platform.
In the video, a woman who looks to be in her fifties or sixties is squatting on the ground. In front of her is a huge basin of water and beside her are a pile of bowls, chopsticks and plates.
She was dressed simply and had messy hair, blending in perfectly with the simple surroundings.
Netizens were puzzled, wondering why she was just a dishwasher in a restaurant and was featured in the video.
Someone quickly reported that this person claimed to be the mother of a female celebrity, who had been kicked out by her daughter and left unattended, so she had no choice but to find a job in a restaurant. Her husband was still moving bricks at a construction site, and her son was delivering food. Two days ago, thinking time was running out, he rode his bike too fast and fell, fracturing his leg. He only had a cast on, and couldn't afford hospitalization.
Netizens were surprised. Which celebrity's family is so poor? Even a small-time celebrity earns more than the average office worker. How cruel must this female celebrity be to treat her family like this?
When it comes to things related to the entertainment industry, especially celebrity gossip and scandals, netizens become interested and turn themselves into "concerned citizens" and "online detectives." It didn't take long for them to find out this "female celebrity."
It turned out to be Qiao Yiyi!
[Impossible! Although Qiao Yiyi doesn't have any outstanding works, she's still quite popular and can barely be considered a second-tier actress. It's impossible for her to let her family suffer so much.]
[Yes, someone previously revealed that the Northern Lion Dance program cost a lot of money to hire participants. Is this a scam?]
[You're right, if she says they're Qiao Yiyi's family, then it really is? Maybe this is just some short video blogger deliberately making it up to attract traffic!]
[I don't think so. Although this lady is old, her eyes and mouth look very similar to Qiao Yiyi.]
【Now that I put it that way, it seems to be true! 】
[Putting aside the question of whether it resembles her or not, it seems that Qiao Yiyi has been in the industry for so many years and has indeed rarely mentioned her family.]
[Fuck, could these really be her family?]
[If it is true, it is terrifying to think about it...]
For a time, a video of an old lady washing dishes in a simple restaurant quickly spread on the short video social platform. Soon, the "position" shifted, and a hot search #Suspected Qiao Yiyi's mother washing dishes in a restaurant# appeared on Weibo, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Netizens were confused and clicked on the entry. When they learned that Qiao Yiyi's parents were forced to go out to work just to earn medical expenses for their injured son, they immediately became furious.
One second they were cheering for Qiao Yiyi's wonderful performance today, and the next second they launched personal attacks.
[Qiao Yiyi, what's going on? Treating your own parents like this? I've always loved you so much!]
[I'm enjoying great success, while my family is suffering at the bottom. Is this reasonable?]
[It’s so heartbreaking to see the aunt’s hands are swollen, and there are so many dishes to wash emmm]
[I heard from my aunt that my uncle is still working on the construction site, and their living quarters are still rented, and they live in a very simple place...]
[I think of my parents working away from home, woo woo woo——]
Why would Qiao Yiyi treat her family like this? She's a big star, making so much money every year, but she's not willing to spend a penny on herself?
[Before, people always said she was pretending to be a whitewasher, relying on variety shows. I didn't believe it, but now I believe she's a cold-blooded and heartless woman. She's so cruel to her own family, she's worse than an animal!]
[Speaking of which, doesn't she have a dog? From her updates, it seems like the dog eats and drinks better than humans.]
Qiao Yiyi’s fans didn’t know where these videos and remarks came from, and they immediately launched an anti-black team to fight against them and reduce the trending searches. But this time, it seemed as if it was organized and premeditated, and their actions were vulnerable in front of this group of professional water armies.
The popularity is rising instead of falling.
Before long, a sports carnival led by Qiao Yiyi turned into a meeting of criticism against her, accusing her of not treating her parents well.
Gossip media immediately found the restaurant based on the restaurant background in the video and information provided by netizens. Through interviews with the aunt in the video, they confirmed that she was Qiao Yiyi's parents.
Now, even if some netizens thought that this old lady was trying to scam people, they couldn't help but believe it.
Not content with visiting the restaurant where Qiao Yiyi's mother worked, the media also visited the construction site where her father worked as a bricklayer. Netizens then witnessed a dark, thin, and slightly hunched-backed man struggling to lift heavy objects on the construction site.
Over such a long time, although netizens occasionally made radical remarks about Qiao Yiyi, they were all based on her acting skills and some incomprehensible actions. At most, they just made a few jokes and forgot about it in a few days.
This time, the issue has been brought up to the family level, which has touched everyone's bottom line - family is always the softest part of everyone's heart. Especially those netizens who have family members working in such low-level jobs can better understand the hardships involved and are very puzzled by Qiao Yiyi's behavior.
Qiao Yiyi walked back to the dorm. After the competition, she was pulled to the judges' booth to commentate. She was exhausted, too exhausted to even look at her phone. She returned to the dorm, showered, changed into clean clothes, and was about to join Xiong Ying and the others in the cafeteria for lunch. However, she noticed everyone had different expressions on their faces. When they saw her, they hurriedly put down their phones, their expressions unnatural.
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Yiyi wiped her hair with a dry towel.
Xiong Ying stammered quickly, "No, nothing. Sister Yiyi, let's not go to the cafeteria today. Can we order takeout?"
Qiao Yiyi wondered, "Don't you guys ever eat takeout?"
In order to maintain themselves in the best condition, these female idols strictly manage their body shapes. Apart from the nutritious meals prepared by the chefs specially hired in the cafeteria, they do not eat any greasy food outside.
Xiong Ying and several team members looked at each other, and the team leader shook his head slightly.
When Qiao Yiyi saw the interactions between the few people, she knew that they were hiding something from her.
The team leader knew that he could keep it a secret for a while. When Sister Yiyi saw her phone, she would know what had happened, so he slowly pushed his phone in front of her.
Qiao Yiyi picked up her phone in confusion and saw the trending searches on Weibo and the videos that everyone was forwarding crazily. Even as calm as she was, one of her hands began to tremble with anger.
She had always had a premonition that the adoptive parents would not let it go, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
During this period, she was in T City, busy with program recording and competition training, and had no time to take care of their affairs. When she heard Baomei say that she had bought tickets for them and sent them away, she thought they really went back, but she never expected that they actually stayed in City A.
Baomei called, her tone anxious: "Sister Yiyi, have you seen the comments online? What should we do now?"
Although Qiao Yiyi still has a company and a new agent, it makes no difference whether she has them or not. When Sister Anna was her agent, she said she didn't care about her, but she always quietly helped her deal with things.
But now she is no longer his agent, so there is no need for her to help him deal with these things.
Qiao Yiyi tried to calm herself down and said to Baomei, "Don't panic. Ask them first what they want."
Baomei: "I've already called and asked, and they said they want money, and if I don't pay, this matter won't end."
Qiao Yiyi held her forehead, these two people were indeed not so easy to deal with.
She asked Baomei to give her the contact information of Wu Xiuying and her husband so that she could call them, but the call was always unsuccessful. After finally getting through, she heard that it was Qiao Yiyi and immediately hung up.
Now, Qiao Yiyi knew that they had to expose this matter completely.
But she couldn't understand. She had clearly told them that she had no money. What good would it do them to make such a fuss?
Xiong Ying and the others were watching anxiously, wanting to say something but not knowing how.
Just at this time, someone exposed the scandal of Yan Yue flirting with a female artist during the recording of the program on the Internet.
Yan Yue is an idol in a boy band. In order to make his debut, he set a flag in front of his fans - he would not fall in love, he would practice dancing and learn rap well so as not to disappoint his fans.
In the hearts of fans, he is also an innocent and pure little fairy boy. When they saw the news on the Internet that Yan Yue was suspected of being in a relationship with a female artist from the program team, they expressed their disbelief.
[Before, if I teased him a little in my brother's live broadcast room, he would blush. How could he possibly tease others?]
[Yeah, our Yueyue hasn't even been in a relationship yet, and she's flirting with me? The media is just making fun of me.]
[There's no need to find such an excuse to throw mud. I have reason to believe that this was deliberately done by Qiao Yiyi's team to divert attention.]
[That's right, it's true. Seeing your own affairs become a big deal, you want to use others to divert attention. How despicable.]
Yan Yue's fans refused to believe that their idol would do such a thing, insisting that it was Qiao Yiyi's team who did it to divert attention. Or perhaps it was a rival team taking advantage of the situation to deliberately mess with them.
But before he could even defend himself against anti-black activities, a photo of Yan Yue kissing a girl in a dim corridor was immediately exposed.
Because of the lighting and angle, the girl's face cannot be seen clearly, which gives netizens a lot of room for imagination.
Yan Yue’s fans were stunned. When they saw their brother kissing a girl, it was as if a string broke in their minds.
They were unwilling to believe that this was Yan Yue. They had never been in a relationship before, and how could such innocent babies who would blush and get shy even when teased do such a thing?
So they all said that this was a photoshopped picture. Now photoshop technology is so advanced that you can photoshop it by just finding a few pictures. Do you really take it seriously?
But someone immediately released another video. Although it was only a dozen seconds long, the girl's face was still unclear, but the boy could be identified at once. It was Yan Yue.
Now even if Yan Yue’s fans deny it, there’s nothing they can do. Their brother can’t just hold a wooden stick and chew on it.
Although Yan Yue reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted and as an idol in a boy group, he is no match for those big-name artists in the entertainment industry, but he still has some traffic and popularity.
Coupled with the fact that his previous marketing image was so good and the program of this star sports meeting was so popular, he was easily pushed to the top of the hot searches.
The fights between male artists are sometimes more terrifying than those between female artists, especially those small artists who have not yet established themselves, who quickly occupy a place at the top of hot searches.
Many people were enjoying the gossip about Qiao Yiyi when suddenly a scandal involving Yan Yue broke out. Some people still had no idea where this person came from.
Yan Yue’s original company and operating company were almost furious and called him to ask what was going on.
"Your group has finally gained some popularity, and you're already getting carried away?"
"Hasn't there already been an order prohibiting dating? What's with that video?!"
"A few days ago, a brand specifically asked you to be their spokesperson. As soon as I saw the news, I called you and said we'd like to work together again next time. Are you not satisfied with just picking your feet at home?"
"No, sister, please listen to my explanation--" Yan Yue was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
He was enjoying the melon on Weibo, but he didn't expect that the food he was eating would end up hurting himself.
The boy in the video is indeed him, but he doesn’t know it. It was so late and so hidden, who on earth took these photos?
Yan Yue was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he kept trying to please his leader on the phone.
Although the other party was angry, he thought that this also concerned the reputation of their company. If Yan Yue's problem was not resolved, it would inevitably affect the entire team.
As the saying goes, we all prosper together and we suffer together. Even if there is discord among their group internally, they still have to do their best on the surface.
He took a deep breath. The person on the other end of the phone told him to keep quiet and hold back. Qiao Yiyi's popularity was very high right now, but netizens were always short-lived. After a couple of days, the matter would fade away and no one would bother him anymore.
Yan Yuekuang nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Yue collapsed on the bed.
His teammates called him out for dinner.
He kicked the washbasin in front of the bed and said angrily, "What are you eating? How can you still be in the mood to eat now?"
Seeing this, the teammates shook their heads and left.
Yan Yue angrily punched the pillow twice, sat up, and wondered who leaked this information.
He and the girl had only been together for a few days, and they were both quite cautious. None of his roommates knew about it. Even if they did, they had no grudges against him, so there was no need to tell anyone about it.
Qu Fan happened to pass by the door. Yan Yue thought of something, his eyes darkened, and he quickly jumped off the bed, rushed out the door and grabbed Qu Fan's collar.
"You did it, didn't you?"
Qu Fan was baffled. He looked down at his teammate, who was a head shorter than him, expressionlessly and said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Yan Yue recalled that he had seen Qu Fan getting up to go to the bathroom when he had sneaked out for a date that night. He also recalled that they hadn't always gotten along, and that he had even hit him the last time. Later, he heard from some girls that Qu Fan was very attentive to Qiao Yiyi.
I realized later that he did that day because of Qiao Yiyi.
Thinking of this, Yan Yue smiled grimly: "You don't admit it, right? Well, since you dare to play dirty tricks behind my back, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Qu Fan was even more confused. He pushed him away, cursed him as "you're crazy" and left.
Yan Yue was infuriated by his attitude, so angry that he was about to explode. There was no one around, so he kicked the wall as if to vent his anger, and immediately screamed in pain.
Lying back on the bed, he opened Weibo and browsed the comments online.
Qiao Yiyi's harsh treatment of her parents and her ungratefulness remained at the top of the search list, closely followed by his scandal. Fans tagged him in messages asking for a response.
Yan Yue saw the foul comments under Qiao Yiyi's Weibo post, and remembered Qu Fan's arrogant attitude just now, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Aren’t fans waiting for his response?
He started writing a short composition.
He first sincerely apologized to his fans, saying he was sorry for disappointing them, but allowed them to talk about what happened.
The person in the video is indeed him, but the truth of the matter is not what everyone thinks.
Someone called him out and told him they were under a lot of pressure and in a bad mood. Out of sympathy and concern, he went to comfort her, but she...
He was completely confused at the time and had no idea what was happening. When he realized what was happening, he ran away. Later, I thought that this was probably because the girl was under too much pressure and too excited.
Because the girl was older than him and had higher qualifications and seniority, he was embarrassed to respond to these questions for the sake of the girl's face.
But seeing that everyone misunderstood, he had to come out and clarify.
Yan Yue's essay is incredibly delicate and moving, portraying himself as an innocent person. He made no mistakes; it was others who made the mistakes, who seduced and provoked him.
After finishing writing it, I really feel like a smart guy.
The company asked him not to respond and wait for the storm to die down. As time passed, netizens forgot about the incident.
But how could he let go of such good popularity and traffic? This was his first time at the top of the trending search list, so he had to take advantage of the popularity. And he believed that his fans would believe him.
Sure enough, fans were excited and delighted after reading his short essay. He finally responded! He didn't act like a coward like others, which proves that he is a responsible person.
They were very happy and said that how could the idol they had been fans of for so long do such a thing so easily, and it turned out that there was indeed a little bitch who seduced him.
Among the many people participating in the show, girls account for the majority.
When they learned that their brother was going to participate in this program, they were very worried. With so many girls, what was the difference between their brother, such a handsome boy, going there and Tang Monk entering the Spider Cave? As expected, he was bewitched.
Yan Yue’s fans were very angry, but now they were not angry at their idol. Just now, they saw their brother entangled with a girl, and they all felt that they had been heartbroken, but now they were in love again.
After coming back to love, I started to find out who the girl in the video was.
According to my brother, she is older than him and has a higher seniority. In the video, the girl is tall and slender. Overall, she looks like Qiao Yiyi.
Combined with the revelations from the melon-eating group who claimed to be a staff member of the program team that they saw Yan Yue and Qiao Yiyi together alone several times, it is even more certain that it was Qiao Yiyi who seduced Yan Yue.
[I knew she couldn't change her nature. She's always been into bondage and hype. During filming, she verbally harassed actor He Yao, so much so that He's fans rushed to the set overnight!]
[Fuck, there is such a thing? ]
[Haven't you heard? It's just that He's fans are low-key, giving her face and not bothering to tear her down.]
[Also, every time she appears on a variety show, she gets along well with the young boys. Didn't you see that she follows everyone on the island?]
[Ah, my Zongbao, my Zongbao. I thought they had a really good relationship back then. Qiao Yiyi really has a way with men!]
Speaking of which, I remember a friend of mine who's a fan of a female artist participating in this show. He heard from his friend in the fan group that there was a disturbance on the set a few nights ago. It seemed like Qu Fan was beating up Yueyue because of Qiao Yiyi.
[Is this true? How come I haven't heard of it?!]
[It seems that the production team does not allow us to talk about this.]
[Ugh, I yue.]
Qiao Yiyi, get out of the entertainment industry! No matter how she cleans up, I still don't like her. I thought she was acting weird a while ago, and now her true colors are showing again.
[She's even participating in the Olympics. Haha, I think she shouldn't even compete in tomorrow's competition. A rubbish artist who doesn't even recognize her own parents doesn't deserve to appear at such an event.]
[Yes, we strongly request Qiao Yiyi to withdraw from the competition!]
[Strongly request Qiao Yiyi to withdraw from the Star Sports Games! ]
So, the discussion on the Internet about Qiao Yiyi's parents and Yan Yue's scandal suddenly turned into a collective condemnation of Qiao Yiyi's withdrawal from the Star Sports Games and the cancellation of tomorrow's competition.
The production crew was overwhelmed when they saw the explosion of private messages from netizens under the official Weibo account.
What the hell is going on?! The competition was going well, and the online feedback was fantastic, but suddenly the tide turned. Scandals are being exposed, scandals are being spread.
Now they are even clamoring for their players to withdraw from the competition!
What should I do?
