Chapter 1011 Old Tactics for Smearing People
Anyone who loves using headlines for marketing knows that even the most insignificant little thing can attract attention if it's accompanied by a catchy headline.
Since the emergence of mutated plants and animals, many celebrities have wisely disappeared from the public eye, and the trending topics list is dominated by mutated plants and animals appearing in various places every day.
If a big news story suddenly breaks out involving a celebrity, especially a previously popular celebrity, these entertainment media outlets will definitely seize the opportunity to exploit it.
Soon, various dubious news about Ye Wanxi began to emerge, and some old news was brought up again, showing a momentum that was determined to crush Ye Wanxi into the mud and never let her get up again.
The first people to see these hotly debated topics were none other than the few young people who had gone with Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu when they were about to leave that day.
"These scoundrels are trash!" One of the hot-tempered young men couldn't help but curse after finding the post in the news report. He then stood up abruptly and kicked the table next to him.
The young man's parents heard noises coming from his bedroom and thought he had been attacked by mutated plants, so they rushed into the house to check on him.
Seeing her son's slightly contorted face, she asked with concern, "Xiaofeng, what happened?"
The young man shook his head, said nothing, opened the chat group on his computer, and sent the post address directly to the community's owners' group. He also tagged the author of the post, asking him to come out and explain what was going on.
Having lived together in the same community for over twenty years, people online might not be able to tell which household these exterior wall photos came from, but the homeowners only need to take a few more glances to know exactly what's going on.
After the young man posted the message in the group, some residents who were unaware of the situation asked him what had happened and why he was so angry.
But when they clicked on the link sent by the other party and saw the content in the post, many of them became anxious and angry, especially the young people who had previously chased after Ye Wanxi to apologize and explain to her, and Lin Wanrong, who were almost so angry that they were about to burst into flames.
They had finally managed to explain things to their saviors that day, managing to convince them that most people in the neighborhood were good and reasonable. But just a few days later, they were slapped in the face. They felt ashamed and angry just looking at the post, let alone the person who was slandered.
They started tagging the poster relentlessly in the group chat, demanding an explanation. However, the poster remained silent and pretended to be dead the whole time. This angered the group so much that they decided to gather together and go to the poster's house to confront him.
Gao Min was equally angry. Since Ye Wanxi returned from abroad, she hadn't had a moment to rest. She was always running around and was basically never home.
Despite not being a formally employed staff member, he followed Xiao Jihui's men around rescuing people every day, working himself to the bone for half a day. Not only did he contribute the most effort, but he was also paid less than those who went along to watch. He didn't earn a single penny and was essentially working for free.
That was bad enough, but now they're even getting bitten back.
Having been in the industry for so long and knowing his artists' personalities well, how could Gao Da, the manager, not guess the trickery behind this?
Knowing this made her even angrier, to the point of wanting to explode.
"Look at you, look at you! You've been running around day and night these past few days, rescuing people, helping others, and dealing with monsters, and in the end, you didn't even get a thank you and just got yourself into trouble. What was the point of all this running around? You've lost weight from exhaustion, really..." Gao Min was both distressed and angry, circling around Ye Wanxi.
Qiu Yuerong, who had just finished feeding her pets and came over, was quite indignant after learning what had happened: "How could these people do this? Sister Ye saved their lives, and they turned around and did this..."
Ye Wanxi was amused by their reactions: "You didn't even ask me what happened before you assumed the problem wasn't with me but with them? What if what they said is true? Look, the video is out now."
Upon hearing this, Gao Min couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Videos, you know everyone in the industry knows that videos can be edited? The atmosphere in the industry hasn't been very good these past few years. Even veteran actors are often used out of context to take the blame and gain attention and traffic, let alone you, who is just trying to gain traffic. They usually don't have the opportunity, but now that they do, they can make up stories for you even if there's nothing wrong with you."
"That's right, that's right. We know Sister Ye's character and abilities better than anyone. If it's really like what that post said, that Sister Ye is deliberately taking advantage of this national crisis to make a fortune and doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people, then Sister Ye can just go directly to those rich and powerful people, make demands of them, and protect them."
“I believe that there are at least several hundred people, if not a thousand, who would be willing to spend their entire fortune to seek Sister Ye’s protection. The line would stretch from here to the east end of the street and still not be long enough to fill it. Why waste time and energy going to such a run-down neighborhood and end up being complained about? What’s the point? You’re not stupid.”
Ye Wanxi couldn't help but lower her head and laugh. Yes, she wasn't stupid. This was a truth that everyone understood, so why did so many people believe it?
To put it bluntly, most people are just joining in the fun and don't really care about the truth.
Or perhaps, what I said earlier really touched a nerve with some people's overly sensitive pride, to the point that they lost their ability to judge right from wrong and only wanted to vent their dissatisfaction.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh! What time is it? You're still laughing!" Gao Min glared at Ye Wanxi with exasperation, her voice rising considerably.
Ye Wanxi waved her hand reassuringly, "It's okay, it's okay, this doesn't affect me. Compared to me, I think there are other people who want this matter resolved as soon as possible."
"who?"
As soon as Gao Min finished speaking, Ye Wanxi's phone rang.
"Speak of the devil, and he appears."
When Ye Wanxi answered the phone, she could hear an awkward yet slightly apologetic voice on the other end: "Ms. Ye, have you seen what happened online?"
"I just saw it, and I'm talking about it with someone right now."
Hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly felt a burning sensation on their face and quickly avoided Ye Wanxi's eyes, saying, "This was indeed a matter of oversight on our part, causing Miss Ye and Mr. Feng to be scolded on our behalf. Miss Ye, rest assured, the person specifically in charge of this matter has gone to Fenjiayuan Community to handle it, and we believe there will be a result soon. Please rest assured, as our specially invited personnel, we will absolutely defend your and Mr. Feng's reputation and will absolutely not allow anyone to take advantage of the situation to smear you."
