"I love watching this kind of shameless drama where someone gets slapped in the face. I never get tired of it."

"Sister Ruhan, that's a really clever move." The assistant sat next to Li Ruhan and praised her flatteringly. "Why don't you just say anything and let the netizens speak for themselves based on the picture? This way, since it wasn't you who said it, it was the netizens who said it. Tan Jinsheng can't say anything either. He can't go to the netizens. And he can't make a formal clarification for such a small matter, otherwise he'll be accused of making a fuss."
Li Ruhan smiled and said, "I didn't know he was so influential and had such a strong background, otherwise he wouldn't have taken action until now."
"It's not too late now. We've only aired the third episode. Looking at the current vote count, Sister Ruhan, you can still record several more episodes. There will be many more opportunities in the future." The assistant said with a smile.
Li Ruhan was indeed very happy.
Especially when the assistant said that she had a lot of votes and there were still several episodes to record, this really touched Li Ruhan's heart.
"Speaking of which, let me go see how many votes you have now," said the assistant.
Hearing this, Li Ruhan also picked up her phone to look.
Li Ruhan was looking at her vote count when she suddenly heard her assistant exclaim in surprise, "Ouch!"
"How could this happen!" the assistant exclaimed, "Oh no! What should I do?"
The assistant talked for a long time, but Li Ruhan didn't hear her say what happened.
Li Ruhan said impatiently: "What happened?"
The assistant finally realized what was happening and quickly said, "It was Tan Jinsheng. He actually posted a clarification on Weibo. He also told fans not to get into arguments over fabricated fake news. Now no one is calling him petty for coming out to clarify such a small matter. Instead, everyone is praising him for promptly disciplining his fans and setting a good example."
"His fans haven't been arguing with each other. Instead, those bystanders who like to read gossip have been running to your Weibo to mock you." The assistant's voice became softer as he spoke.
She didn't say what she was mocking, and let Li Ruhan see it herself.
Otherwise, if she told others, Li Ruhan would get angry at her again.
Li Ruhan saw the comments under her Weibo, all of which were netizens mocking her.
Her fans argued with netizens, but were quickly defeated.
There is no way to grab the popular comments and suppress the bad comments.
Because she has too few fans, even after finally participating in a new program, she doesn't attract enough new fans.
The old fans who stayed have already become Buddhas.
The combat effectiveness is not very sufficient.
So, Li Ruhan was left with nothing but ridicule.
Li Ruhan gritted her teeth as she watched.
That night, Li Ruhan discovered that her vote count was growing more slowly than others.
Soon it was the last one.
Even Cheng Shixiang got more votes than her!
Li Ruhan's manager urgently contacted her and said, "We've discussed this and we can't go on like this. Now is the critical stage for your vote, and you can't remain silent any longer."
"If you keep silent, fewer and fewer people will vote for you," said the agent.
"What should we do now?" Li Ruhan felt heavy-hearted.
I thought she took advantage of Tan Jinsheng.
But he didn't expect that he would be the one who suffered the loss in the end.
"What should I do? Hurry up and post on Weibo, using the same message as Tan Jinsheng, saying you're focused on your career and not planning a relationship for now. Ask everyone to focus on watching the game and apologize for causing trouble for Tan Jinsheng," the agent said. "Although it's a little late, at least you can save some face."
"Finally, you must let everyone watch the game and apologize to Tan Jinsheng. And you have to say it beautifully," the agent urged. "It shows your generosity. If you're lucky, netizens might even think Tan Jinsheng is petty and rush to clarify. And if you proactively apologize to him, it'll make you seem even more magnanimous and show that this matter has nothing to do with you."
"I understand." Li Ruhan hung up the phone and immediately posted on Weibo as her agent asked.
But Li Ruhan doesn't have much hope of achieving the results expected by her agent.
Because she knew that it was too late for her to clarify.
The only thing to blame is that she is not famous enough and does not have a good and complete team.
She can't even afford a good public relations person to help her turn the disadvantage around.
After sending it, Li Ruhan called her agent again.
"Sister Hu, I posted it on Weibo, but I don't think it will have much effect. After all, I posted it now and I may have missed the best time." Li Ruhan said.
But after the accident, she was confused and didn't dare to act on her own.
I had planned to talk about this before, but it ended up like this.
She didn't dare to make any more random suggestions.
Moreover, her agent, Sister Hu, also told her not to act on her own until a solution was reached.
That's why Li Ruhan kept holding back and didn't dare to move.
"If you hadn't been so scheming, how could things have turned out like this?" Sister Hu was furious. "I had everything planned out for you. All you had to do was diligently participate in the competition. With your singing skills, even if you didn't win first place, it would still be easy for the audience to remember you. You're bound to get invitations to evening parties and even contact some variety shows to have you appear on them. Even if the pay is lower, at least you'll be on the shows more often, and your salary will naturally go up."
"But since you came here, all my plans for you have been disrupted." Sister Hu said with a bald head.
Li Ruhan quickly apologized, "Sister Hu, I know I was wrong."
"Sister Hu..." Li Ruhan said hesitantly.
"What's the matter? Just tell me directly." There was nothing Sister Hu couldn't hear.
"Find a top PR person in the industry, such as... Lu Man," Li Ruhan said. "How much would it cost?"
"As long as I can get through this and advance successfully, the PR fees will be deducted from my earnings until all my money is gone," Li Ruhan said. "I have to advance no matter what. If I'm eliminated in the first round, I won't be able to participate in any galas, commercial performances, or variety shows."
"You know that," Sister Hu said unhappily, "but finding Lu Man isn't about money; it depends on whether she accepts."
"She's always just been doing PR for the projects she's in, and for her friends. Lately, I haven't heard of her taking on PR projects with a price tag," said Ms. Hu. "After all, she's a full-time actress now, and while she might do some publicity for the projects she's in, she doesn't necessarily have the time to do it specifically."
"Well, I'll ask someone to try and contact her," Sister Hu said. "What's your target price?"
"You decide. I don't have a target price." Li Ruhan risked her life. "Here's what I'm thinking: If I don't handle this matter properly, I won't have many opportunities to make big money in the future. So, I might as well give it a try. If I can get through this difficult time smoothly, won't there be fewer opportunities to make money in the future?"
