Chapter 546 Why Don't You Go to Heaven?
While the matter concerning Gao Min and others has been settled, the online discussions about Ye Wanxi have not yet subsided so easily.
Aunt Meng's interview revealed a lot of information that netizens, including Ye Wanxi's fans, care about. Ye Wanxi's diploma issue had been a point of contention for some people who wanted to smear her before.
For example, Xue Jifeng, whom Ye Wanxi met on the show "Ancient Music Tales," consciously guided netizens to focus on Ye Wanxi's low level of education.
People naturally admire those who excel, which is why there's a particularly popular persona in the entertainment industry – the "academic genius" persona.
From prestigious university acceptance letters to monthly exam scores, midterm and final exam results, and even a few math problems, they can be marketed as if they were the best scientists and mathematicians who would have to admit defeat in front of them.
Ye Wanxi, a complete academic failure who never even attended university, naturally became the target of everyone's criticism.
But now, someone is telling them that the student they thought was a slacker is actually a brilliant student.
Some haters, of course, couldn't believe it was true. They started using their connections and resources to find evidence from all sides, trying to prove that it was a lie.
However, to their surprise, the more they dug, the more they realized that it seemed to be true!
[I specifically went to ask a friend at University A and checked the list of freshmen that their school released the year Ye Zuojing took the college entrance exam, and it turns out he really was there.]
[Where did the person upstairs look? I also asked a friend from University A, and he said he couldn't find it either.]
Her name was indeed on the initial list, the one released after admissions were finalized, and it was for the most competitive major, finance, which speaks volumes about her high score. However, her name was removed from the supplementary list released after new students registered.
Why was it deleted? Did you do something wrong and get expelled from school?
No, it seems she didn't report on time, and the school couldn't contact her. After a while, her student status was naturally revoked.
[...So, what that dean auntie said was true. Ye Wanxi wasn't a poor student who couldn't get into university; she was a top student!]
[Isn't he a top student? He's from A University, A University! A University I wouldn't even dare dream of attending without eating peanuts!]
With the release of the school's list, Ye Wanxi's exam scores from that year were quickly revealed.
The near-perfect scores in each subject were a huge shock to the underachieving students, and also made countless loyal fans who had previously fought with haters over this matter feel triumphant.
Where are all those guys who mocked our child for not studying well and not even getting into university? Look closely! Our child not only got in, but got into one of the best universities in the country!
[Just a couple of days ago, a hater came to mock me, calling me a primary school student and a "scumbag" fan of my idol. They even said they'd do a handstand and have diarrhea if Xiaoyezi were a top student. Now they won't tag me at all.]
[Xiao Yezi is so honest, and so is her management company. These aren't the typical academic achievements of ordinary celebrities; she's a true academic goddess, yet they haven't done any marketing on her, leading so many people to believe that Xiao Yezi didn't go to university because she couldn't get into college!]
This proved that the person they liked was far more outstanding than they had imagined, much to the delight of the fans, but they were also curious.
Why didn't Ye Wanxi go to university despite her excellent grades? What happened back then? And what happened to the old dean that the dean aunt mentioned who suddenly passed away?
As it turns out, netizens who are as idle as gossipers are indeed very idle, and also truly amazing.
It was soon discovered that not long after Ye Wanxi took the college entrance examination, the director of the orphanage where Ye Wanxi was located, who is also the old director mentioned by the current director, suddenly passed away due to a sudden illness.
The entire orphanage was thrown into chaos by the death of its director, and Ye Wanxi, upon learning of this devastating news, was involved in a car accident on her way home.
The driver who hit Ye Wanxi was a non-mainstream rich second-generation. Although Ye Wanxi was in a daze at the time of the accident, the driver was fully responsible for running a red light and speeding, and should pay Ye Wanxi's full medical expenses.
The rich kid's family didn't want their child to go in, so they paid Ye Wanxi's medical expenses without much struggle. They even left City A immediately when the foreign soul took over her body and woke up, for fear of being entangled with her.
Because of this car accident, Ye Wanxi didn't go to university and instead entered the entertainment industry.
Adding to the fact that Aunt Meng mentioned a special bank card, everyone almost instinctively assumed that Ye Wanxi had stumbled into this circle by accident because the orphanage's funding chain had broken down, and that she was earning money to support those poor orphans.
It was completely unexpected that the "Ye Wanxi" at that time was not Ye Wanxi at all. She had no feelings for the orphanage and didn't even have enough for herself, so how could she possibly take money from others?
Once this information was released, Ye Wanxi's fans cried even harder, wishing they could travel back to that time and spend money to help her raise the children in the orphanage and send her back to university.
The most heart-wrenching part was that Aunt Meng seemed to know about what was happening online. This elderly woman, who wasn't very tech-savvy, specially had someone compile a list of all the money Ye Wanxi had sent back over the years.
I wrote down everything clearly, including where some items were used now and which ones were still unused.
As Aunt Meng said, Ye Wanxi has already sent several million yuan back to the orphanage in the past year.
This number is already an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but some keyboard warriors are still not satisfied and make sarcastic remarks.
"That's all? I heard Ye Wanxi participated in a variety show, and her total compensation was at least eight figures. To only give this little bit to the place that raised her is just a show."
Ye Wanxi's fans were furious and were about to start criticizing her when these keyboard warriors were once again proven wrong.
The XX Province Child Search Association, the DD Province Women's Federation Association, the CC Province Red Cross, and one after another, public welfare organizations spontaneously emerged to show off the donations sent from the same account.
Aside from her earnings from variety shows and film crews, Ye Wanxi's main income comes from the thank-you fees she receives for helping people solve problems.
To this day, almost everyone she has helped receives a check, in addition to gifts.
Ye Wanxi did not save any of this money; instead, she donated half, or even two-thirds, of it.
Only a portion of the remaining donations will be transferred to the orphanage's account. Over a year, the accumulated donations amount to a considerable sum.
Those haters who criticized her for donating too little and putting on a show suddenly fell silent, but another discordant voice emerged.
[That's all she donated; you can imagine how much she got in return. It's ironic that she can earn more money than most people could earn in a lifetime just by having a pretty face!]
Everyone: "..." You've said everything, good and bad, why don't you just fly to the moon?!
