Chapter 10 Insider There are two direct promotion spots this time. It seems that...
After the company issued the clarification, Gao Luo could still see insulting comments about Gao Shule on the Internet. Although not many, but every time I see it, I get a heart attack.
She saw that Gao Shule was acting like nothing had happened. She just made delicious food for herself in different ways every day and didn't seem to care about the comments online.
At night, Gao Luo slept with Gao Shule - Gao Shule was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to sleep alone, so she had to watch over her.
The room was connected to a balcony, the curtains of which were not drawn tightly. The light from the street lamp shone through the gaps, casting a small patch of light on the floor of the room.
Gao Luo couldn't sleep. When she turned over for the third time, she met Gao Shule's gaze in the dim environment.
After hesitating for a moment, Gao Luo asked, "Are you sad?"
Gao Shule pursed her lips and said, "Yes, if I see them, but if I don't, I'll just pretend they don't exist."
This is how she chooses to protect herself.
To put it nicely, it's called cold treatment; to put it bluntly, it's called escape.
If she were an ordinary office worker, she might be able to do this, but she is an artist living in the public eye, and her every word and action is subject to scrutiny, and the market will judge the artist's commercial value based on her online reputation.
Being an artist is a profession that lives within the evaluation system of others, so when the outside world questions them, the artists must come up with clarifications and fight back.
At this time, don't make any chicken soup speeches like "the innocent are innocent and have a clear conscience", unless you have the capital to protect you, or you are so popular with the public that you are as indestructible as diamond, otherwise the end result will be self-destruction of your future.
In the novel, when Gao Shule was slandered by netizens and isolated by the guests, she chose to remain silent, and then there was the bloody ending that happened later.
"Have you always done this? When others hurt you, you choose not to listen or see?" Gao Luo asked.
Gao Shule thought for a moment and said, "I knew how to deal with it a long time ago, but later on, there were so many things like this that I couldn't handle it anymore."
Gao Shule's acting career has not been smooth, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as bumpy.
She first worked part-time as a print model while in college. Her photos were seen by her current agent, who signed her into the company.
I thought that with her face, even if she didn't become a big hit, at least a small hit should be enough.
But every time she went to the crew for an interview, she either failed or the crew could only offer her roles like Passerby. Either the important role has been interviewed, but the production team suddenly changes their mind when filming is about to start.
She even encountered a situation where she had already signed a contract but the production company would rather pay liquidated damages than terminate the contract. This happened quite a few times.
Every time she asked the casting director if there was something she did wrong. The other party basically used similar rhetoric, replying to her: "You are almost there."
Gao Shule thought that her acting skills might be a little lacking, so she enrolled in classes at her own expense, but the results were not satisfactory and she still failed the interview.
Finally, one time, a director told her cryptically: "It's not that you are not good enough, it's that this role suddenly has an actor."
Gao Shule heard the subtext, and the grievances that had been pent up for a long time finally burst out. She couldn't help but complain on Weibo about her role being snatched away, and soon she received pressure and threats from all sides, as well as attacks from the other side's fans.
She was scolded for trying to gain popularity, saying that she was ugly and that she was crazy about becoming famous.
All kinds of dirty water were thrown at her, and she couldn't explain herself even if she had a hundred mouths.
The company didn't help her, so she could only digest all the negative emotions on her own. Whenever similar things happened again, she chose to ignore them and remained silent about all the insults and misunderstandings from the outside world.
After Gao Shule finished saying these words, she turned around and saw Gao Luo's big eyes, which looked like they were soaked in water, full of tears.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Gao Shule quickly got up and took a piece of paper from the bedside table to wipe her tears.
She heard Gao Luo sobbing, "You're having a hard time, why don't you ask me for help?"
"Looking for you?"
"Looking for me...my dad." Gao Luo was confused from crying and changed the words in panic.
As an Internet giant, Cefeng Group's business scope covers multiple industries including communications, finance, games, film and television, etc. Its "Tingfeng" streaming media software is one of the three major online video media platforms in China, and its daily active user volume ranks first among the three all year round.
If Shen Siyan has the support of the powerful "Shunwen", then Gao Shule has the backing of Cefeng.
After all, the CEO of Cefeng Group is her great uncle.
As long as she opens her mouth, Gao Chengsheng will definitely find her a lot of resources.
But she never told him about her difficulties. Apart from her, her parents and brother, the whole family basically had no contact with Gao Chengsheng and his wife. The only time we meet and exchange a few words is during festivals like the Chinese New Year when everyone has to get together.
Gao Shule groaned and said, "I don't want to trouble my uncle, I want to rely on myself."
She has been like this since she was a child. She will never trouble others for things she can do herself. If you can't do something yourself, find information and learn it first.
There was really no other way out, and she had two choices. One is to just give up and not do it; the other is to ask for help from others with difficulty.
She didn't think that she had reached the point where she had to ask Gao Chengsheng for help, so she could still try.
She believes opportunities lie ahead.
"You see, I've finally got the opportunity." Gao Shu said happily.
Gao Luo thought: "Wonderful Holiday"? It is not your opportunity, it is your death warrant. But she couldn't tell Gao Shule this.
She held Gao Shule's hand and said, "My father doesn't know about your situation. Don't blame him."
Gao Shule quickly shook her head: "How can I blame my uncle? I haven't contacted him, and he doesn't know my situation."
Gao Chengsheng is responsible for the company's entire operational decision-making and resource coordination. He does not pay much attention to the film and television sector, and the second brother's family does not interact with him much. People are used to thinking positively and always think that Gao Shule is doing a good job in the entertainment industry.
Gao Luo felt that the education Gao Shule received since childhood must have put self-reliance and self-improvement first, which led her to think that she had to rely on herself in everything she did.
Gao Luo believes that this kind of thinking is unacceptable, as connections are also part of strength and there is no need to be secretive about it.

On a hot afternoon, the sunlight was divided into pieces by the trees in the patio, and when the wind blew, the light and shadows also jumped.
On the second floor of the teahouse, bamboo curtains are used to separate the hall into separate private rooms.
Shen Siyan and Feng Daiyue sat by the window.
"How is it? This teahouse I picked is pretty good, right?" Shen Siyan was in a good mood as she looked at the scenery outside the window.
Feng Daiyue rolled her eyes and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."
Just talking nonsense.
Feng Daiyue's attitude was unfriendly, but Shen Siyan still smiled.
She took a sip of tea slowly. "I have two insider tips. I can tell you one first. If you agree to cooperate, I will tell you the second one."
"Then you speak first." Feng Daiyue said.
Even if I don't cooperate with her, it's not a loss, I'll get the information for free.
"I have a friend at a TV station, and he told me that there are two direct qualifying spots this time. It looks like there are six people competing, but in fact there are only four."
Before she spoke, Feng Daiyue was still very disdainful. After listening to it, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Which two?"
"Bian Yuan." Shen Siyan said.
Bian Yuan is the actor among the three male guests.
"What about the other one?" Feng Daiyue asked. The next second, she suddenly realized: "Gao Shule? Impossible?"
She doesn't believe it.
Gao Shule is so obscure, how could she advance directly? What is the program team planning? Could it be that because she has been on the hot search list these days, people think she has traffic?
But that is a black hot search, not a positive topic.
If it was really because of the black hot search that she bought for her that the program crew mistakenly thought she was a traffic dark horse, Feng Daiyue would regret it to death.
Her mind was full of random thoughts, and her hand unconsciously picked up the teacup on the table. Suddenly, Shen Siyan on the other side said, "Did you buy that hot search about plastic surgery?"
Her hands shook and she almost spilled the tea. "Don't, don't spit blood on me!"
Shen Siyan smiled, did not ask any further questions, and returned to the previous topic: “Now that I have shared my first insider information with you, do you want to cooperate with me?”
"How do I know if what you said is true?"
"Okay, once the news is confirmed, if you still want to cooperate, then come find me." After saying that, Shen Siyan stood up and pretended to leave.
"Wait a minute! I haven't settled the score with you yet!" Feng Daiyue stopped her, "You hired some trolls on Weibo to discredit me, right? Are you trying to praise me and put me down?"
The first inside information surprised her so much that she almost forgot that the real purpose of her coming here today was to settle accounts with her.
Shen Siyan seemed to not understand: “What did you say?”
"Why are you pretending? People on the Internet praised me for being good at raising children and for being short-tempered. I don't believe you didn't see it!"
Hearing this, Shen Siyan sat back down, her expression suddenly clear: "You're talking about this... I didn't buy it. Maybe my fans wanted to gain some favor for me, but they used the wrong method. I apologize on their behalf."
Feng Daiyue snorted and said, "Just pretend!" If you think she is mentally retarded, there is no way she will believe it.
Shen Siyan knew from her expression that she didn't believe it, but it didn't matter.
"If you think those remarks are too harsh and damage your image, I have a solution."
Feng Daiyue asked half cautiously and half suspiciously: "What method?"
Shen Siyan smiled: “You can’t say it for nothing, you need a benefit.”
"benefit?"
Shen Siyan continued, "It's not difficult. Just don't trip me up in the future. I hate the intrigues in the entertainment industry the most. Can't we just get along in a friendly way?"
Feng Daiyue thought this was ridiculous. She was hostile and the other party was obviously not a good person either. He made it sound as if she was so innocent.
But she didn't tear her down. Instead, she smiled and said, "What are you talking about? How could I trip you up?"
Shen Siyan understood: "Okay, I'll tell you the solution."
She took out her cell phone and sent her a video of them taking promotional photos a few days ago.
This video is already available on the Internet, but there is a difference. The cameraman of Magpie TV focused on the adults, while the focus of this video is on the children.
In the video, Feng Ximi was crying, rolling, and screaming, like a kettle that had turned into a spirit.
"You can post an explanation on Weibo, saying that you were in a hurry because you wanted to finish the work quickly so that the guests behind you could come over to shoot. I think netizens who have naughty children at home should be able to understand. I can also testify for you that you are indeed a good person who cares about others."
Feng Daiyue thought about it and this method sounded feasible.
"How about it, do you agree? If you agree, let's take a photo together." Shen Siyan raised her phone.
"Why?"
"Our relationship improved after the show, so my testimony on your behalf was more convincing."
Feng Daiyue said nothing.
Seeing this, Shen Siyan turned her back and raised her phone above her head - the overhead angle made her face look smaller.
Feng Daiyue, who was very professional, immediately picked up the teacup and smiled.
“Okay, then I’ll go back and wait for your news.” After taking the photos, Shen Siyan picked up her bag, put on sunglasses and a mask, checked out and left.
Not long after, Feng Daiyue also left.
She posted a Weibo as Shen Siyan said, and about fifteen minutes later, she switched to her secondary account and posted the video.
As expected, netizens have less criticism against her and more understanding and attacks on Feng Ximi.
The two comments with the most likes in the comment section are:
[Naughty kids can really drive people crazy, the elder sister has done a good job! 】
[You have to beat the naughty child.] 】
After Shen Siyan spoke well of her and posted a photo of the two of them, the public opinion online completely changed.
The style of the comment section has become like this:
[From this perspective, Feng Daiyue is a pretty good person. 】
[Two sweet and soft beauties are sticking to each other! 】
[You two should have said earlier that you have a good relationship. Netizens have been acting like clowns all day. 】
Feng Daiyue was lying at home and browsing Weibo. She felt relaxed and happy after reading the comments section. She wanted to open a glass of wine and have a drink.
She went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of champagne.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
She saw through the cat's eye that it was her agent Lin Huiyu.
Thinking that she was also here to celebrate for him, he happily opened the door, but the next moment he was greeted with a barrage of scolding.
"Where did that video come from? Are you crazy? Do you know that by doing this you will put Feng Ximi in the spotlight? She is only four years old!"
Feng Daiyue corrected her: "Four and a half years old."
Lin Huiyu was stunned: "...You already knew the consequences?"
"I know." Feng Daiyue disagreed.
If you want to pull her out of the controversy, you have to find someone to bear the criticism for her. When Feng Daiyue saw the video, she knew the consequences.
Feng Ximi will become her shield.
So what? She is only four and a half years old, can barely recognize a few words, stays at home every day, and all she thinks about is eating, sleeping, and playing with toys. She doesn’t even understand the meaning of the word “cyberbullying,” and none of the harm will actually fall on her.
So what's wrong with letting her divert the anger of netizens for herself?
Lin Huiyu was so shocked that she was speechless.
After a long time, she said softly, "I'm going back first."
The sound seemed to float in the air, with no point of focus.
Feng Daiyue found her inexplicable. She suddenly came over just to say these things, and left after staying for less than ten minutes.
"Don't you want to drink some water?" Feng Daiyue asked.
Lin Huiyu seemed not to hear it. She didn't turn around or answer. She just opened the door and left.
