"Saying he's ungentlemanly is just a joke. He can't even take a joke. Li Ruhan hasn't even said anything yet, and he's already rushing to clarify. What's wrong with Li Ruhan that makes him look down on her so?" Tan Jinqi had already anticipated those remarks clearly. "When that happens, Jinsheng will be the one who suffers."
Xu Mingzhen was furious. "Am I really going to get stuck with her like this?"
"I'm not completely ignorant of this stuff; I've studied it quite a bit," Xu Mingzhen said. "If both partners are relatively obscure, hyping up a couple is pointless. If one partner is more popular and the other is less so, the more popular partner can help lift the less popular partner. The less popular partner is the beneficiary. Furthermore, if word of mouth isn't good, this can even help reverse it."
"If both were popular, this wouldn't be necessary; it would actually be a loss." Xu Mingzhen understood this quite well. "But right now, neither Jinsheng nor Li Ruhan are popular, and their fame is roughly the same. Li Ruhan debuted earlier and was somewhat well-known initially, but now it's like she's starting over from scratch. Jinsheng has only just become known for the song 'Broken Continent.' What can Li Ruhan achieve by using Jinsheng as a tool for publicity?"
"Perhaps she thinks that since we're the title sponsor, we'll definitely give Jinsheng a good ranking. And the program team will also take good care of Jinsheng. At least, Jinsheng will have plenty of screen time. She's always by his side, so she'll get plenty of shots. Plus, netizens are joining in the fun and shipping their couple, and the online discussion is high." Tan Mo said, "Does she still worry about having no presence or fame? However, there are risks involved. Everything has two sides."
"Either, after the show ends, or after she is eliminated, even though she has no CP to hype up, her own popularity will be hyped up by her actions. Maybe she will become one of the first few people to benefit the most from the show." Tan Mo said.
"Or maybe it's because the hype was too much, causing netizens to rebel. After all, not all netizens like CP. There are also netizens who don't like her doing these messed up things. If the second brother can quickly attract a large number of fans, then his fans may not be happy to see him get too close to the opposite sex."
Tan Mo smiled and said, "Apart from anything else, Second Brother has a very handsome face."
Being praised by Tan Mo for his good looks, Tan Jinsheng's face was full of smiles.
"Second Brother will definitely attract a lot of female fans." Tan Mo said, "I've seen many of Second Brother's fans calling him hubby."
Tan Jinsheng didn't expect Tan Mo to mention this.
He occasionally checks fan comments.
Because there were so many comments, it was impossible for him to read them all.
But if you look at a few of them, you will find that they all call him husband.
Looking around, there are really husbands everywhere.
I was so embarrassed to watch it anymore after talking about it for so long.
Unexpectedly, Tan Mo saw it.
"Having a lot of girlfriend fans, of course, has its pros and cons. The con is that if my second brother gets married in the future, his fans might leave on a large scale. Even though the girl knows it's impossible for her and her idol to be together, she still doesn't want her brother to get married."
"This feeling... I'm just guessing. I don't know if it's right, but I guess it's that as long as he remains single, even though I can't be with him, I can still call him husband without any pressure. But he's married, and belongs to another woman. From now on, not only will it be inconvenient to call him husband, but I'll also be a little jealous of his girlfriend and wife. How could she become the girlfriend or even wife of such a good brother? I can't be with him, so I'd rather he remain single so that he can always be my imaginary husband."
"Of course, this is just my guess. It may not be completely correct, and it certainly cannot represent all fans." Tan Mo said very seriously.
"However, if the majority of Second Brother's fans are girlfriends, they'll definitely be reluctant to let Li Ruhan drag him into publicity," Tan Mo said. "This is beneficial for now. Fans will definitely express their dissatisfaction with Li Ruhan. Once Li Ruhan can't bear the pressure, she'll have no choice but to give up this approach."
"Then, can we just wait and see the reaction from the fans?" Xu Mingzhen felt unreliable.
"We'll think of another way, but one thing is for sure, Jinsheng cannot come out and deny his relationship with Li Ruhan." Tan Jinqi said.
"Besides, I don't want to take advantage of my fans," Tan Jinsheng said. "Although the girls may take advantage of me verbally, they also like me sincerely. I appreciate their love, so I can't let them do these things for me."
What husband would let his wife take the lead?
Of course, he didn't mean to truly admit that he was the husband of many young girls.
But if someone truly likes him, he cannot take advantage of their pure feelings.
Tan Jinsheng's words made Tan Mo's eyes brighter.
This is her second brother. He is such an upright and clean person, and he is worthy of the love of his fans.
"Second brother, it is such a happy thing to be your fan." Tan Mo said softly with a smile.
Tan Jinsheng, who had been acting properly and composed, was now laughing like a fool.
"..." Wei Zhiqian cleared his throat and said, "Actually, there's no need to mention names so clearly. It doesn't matter if it's Li Ruhan. Just say that I'm single and that I'm currently prioritizing my career. I don't have any plans for a relationship."
"This way, the relationship between Li Ruhan and Jinsheng is naturally self-defeating. Furthermore, even if Li Ruhan still wants to do something, Jinsheng can explain it away and rationalize it as a desire to avoid misunderstandings, and most people won't blame Jinsheng. Of course, there will undoubtedly still be some negative comments from a small number of netizens. But as a public figure, this is inevitable. As long as you appear on camera, your words and actions will always be liked by some and disliked by others."
"Even if Li Ruhan's incident hadn't happened, it's impossible for all netizens to like Jinsheng," Wei Zhiqian said, "but at least it can separate Jinsheng from Li Ruhan."
"Besides, now that she's been misunderstood, if Li Ruhan ever approaches Jinsheng again and does something on camera to mislead netizens, Jinsheng has every reason to explain to her directly that she's a good person, but that's precisely why she can't be misunderstood because of him." Wei Zhiqian smiled faintly. "Jinsheng can say that as a man, it's okay to endure a little gossip, but Li Ruhan still has a relationship and is getting married, so she can't bear such misunderstandings. As long as he pretends to be concerned about Li Ruhan, but is actually trying to distance himself from the matter, that's all that's needed."
