"Several netizens have said this," Tang Yue excitedly read out the comments, which made her feel that these netizens were truly talented. If they published a book, she would definitely buy it. "We are here to see a female science and engineering student and a handsome pilot fall in love, not to watch a low-profile version of 'Ode to Joy'."
"This comment is amazing." Su Yin also joined in the search for comments: "They say that Star Media's filter is too tacky, not even as good as the youth dramas from Taiwan ten years ago. Some people also said that Yu Lina must have lost money gambling and had no money to pay off her debts, so she took this kind of script!"
"Although the reputation isn't great," Lin Xuan'er had already checked the official ratings chart. The first episode of "Above the Clouds" had already reached a 1.4 rating, surpassing all other TV dramas and variety shows of the same period. It was even higher than the finale of the drama currently airing on Shanghai Satellite TV. "But the ratings are really good. Even during commercial breaks, the real-time ratings are holding up."
"So Starlight is still useful," Wang Xingrui said seriously, "Most viewers are still willing to continue watching after seeing Yu Lina's face. But if word of mouth continues to be so low, the ratings will definitely collapse within three days."
"Rui Rui is right," Su Yin agreed. "Above the Clouds isn't an IP adaptation, so it doesn't have a fan base of the original novel."
"It would be best if it fails. Let's wait until they respond to Lan Xia's death first!" Tang Yue switched to a small account and left a message on the official Weibo of Star Media promoting the new drama.
[Murder Company is back at it again! As long as Murder Company doesn't respond to the Lan Xia incident, your new drama will be a complete failure!]
However, just a few seconds after Tang Yue left the message, she was prompted that she had been blocked by the original blogger.
"Damn it, I hate it most when people block my mouth and don't let me speak!" Tang Yue said indignantly.
"I don't know how Teacher Helian Bei is doing." Su Yin looked out the window with her cell phone in hand, but she didn't expect it to suddenly rain.
It seems like the temperature is going to drop again.
The two men in suits, one black and one white, standing at the door sneezed. The man in the black suit complained, "Fuck, I'm almost freezing to death! Why hasn't anyone come to open the door yet? Could this old woman be dead?"
"Even if you want to die," the man in the white suit snorted coldly, "you have to wait until we finish asking questions before you die! Damn it, isn't this the south? Why is it so cold!"
When they knocked on the door for the third time, they finally heard the sound of slippers walking behind the door.
Immediately afterwards, the rotten iron door opened with a creaking sound.
That was an old lady.
She was wearing a wool scarf that had been washed countless times and had shed countless hairs.
His eyes were sunken, but they did not settle down because of old age. Instead, they looked at the two visitors.
Her face was like a map, full of wrinkles, dark yellow skin, and thin skin that looked as if it could be punctured by her sharp bones at any time.
The clothes and pants were knitted by herself, and her feet were wrapped in a pair of cotton slippers of the same style as those sold at street stalls.
It can be said that the old lady's appearance was exactly what they had imagined before they came.
A stubborn, unkind, malnourished old lady.
She raised her hand tremblingly and used her last bit of strength to hold the iron door so that it would not be opened completely and the person outside could rush in directly.
"Who are you?"
She deliberately concealed her fear and forced herself to calm down.
"Us," the man in the white suit pulled out a photo from his pocket and waved it in front of the old lady. "You should know this person, right?"
The old lady was silent at first, but then suddenly jumped up, like a hungry beast seeing its prey.
She wanted to snatch the photo from the man in the white suit and tear it into pieces.
"I don't know him!"
The man in the black suit chuckled and quietly squeezed half of his body into the iron gate. "Old woman, don't pretend in front of us! You know this man, his name is Helian Bei, your adopted son, right?"
The old lady seemed to have given up resisting and directly invited the two men into the house. Or perhaps she realized that she was no match for these two burly men.
"He used to be my adopted son." The old lady spat on the ground, as if mentioning the name Helian Bei was a kind of hurt to her.
The man in the black suit sat on the sofa where the old lady's skin had fallen off, while the man in the white suit looked around the simple house.
Unfortunately, he did not find any trace of Helian Bei's breath or memories in this room.
Then his eyes fell on the old lady.
To be honest, he couldn't muster any sympathy for the old lady's current situation.
He had seen too many people like this. Her eyes were like those of a poisonous snake, full of malice and greed.
But his current identity does not allow him to think from such a perspective, he is a professional.
"Do you know he is a big star? He can make a lot of money every year." The white suit looks much more delicate than the black suit, but it is obvious that the black suit is a little afraid of the white suit.
He specifically emphasized a lot.
The old lady swallowed subconsciously, as if she had guessed the purpose of their visit.
"Who are you?"
The man in the white suit raised his eyebrows. Just as he thought, this old lady was not stupid.
"Don't be afraid," he said, looking down at the old lady. He pulled a bank card from his wallet and placed it on the dusty coffee table. "Our boss is also Helian Bei's boss. We just want to know about his past and how he treated you, especially after he became famous."
The old lady wanted to pull her hand away to take the bank card, but the fingers of the man in the white suit pressed it tightly.
