Public opinion began to explode at around 9 o'clock that evening.
At first, a marketing account just moved the post on the anonymous forum to Weibo, asking everyone to guess who the y mentioned in the post was. But just as Jie Yang guessed, this anonymous tidbit had nothing to do with cheating, drug use or prostitution. It was just a sour lemon student secretly cursing his roommate, a popular celebrity who never came to school, to be expelled from school early. The amount of discussion it could generate was really limited.
In fact, if the y mentioned in this post did not look very similar to Xie Yang, who has been very popular recently, the marketing account might not even bother to post this post on Weibo. After the post was moved to Weibo, it did not cause much of a stir. There were very few comments, and most of the comments were guessing whether y was Jie Yang. But everyone was just guessing out of curiosity, and no one really took this trivial piece of information seriously.
The information officially developed into a melon after a comment with a picture in the original post was uploaded to Weibo.
At the end of the original post, a netizen with the id "wangongsheshadiao" replied: Isn't this talking about Jie Yang! Debuted in the summer as a rookie in the group, and stopped coming to class after his senior year. Ouch, you are too jealous. In our film academy, there are many people who don't come to classes after their senior year and go to pursue their careers early. As long as the students can complete enough credits for graduation, the teachers turn a blind eye. However, I have met this Xie Yang, and my impression of him is that he is indeed a very introverted person, which is very different from what he is now. By the way, I'll tell you a little tidbit. Xie Yang is actually a fan of a female star with the surname Mu. He once asked me to buy a signed photo of a certain woman. This is the chat record between him and me at that time.
This comment was followed by two screenshots of chat records. In the screenshots, a person with the WeChat ID "Yang" was asking whether there was really a signature on the photo. If there was, he would just do the transaction directly and also left a delivery address. The person being asked said yes and sent a photo of the photo to the other party for confirmation.
In the screenshot, the photo and delivery address were both coded, but incompletely. A corner of the photo was exposed, and the building number of the delivery address was exposed.
After this comment was uploaded to Weibo, eagle-eyed netizens immediately analyzed the clues and found out that the classmate named "Yang" bought a book from a limited edition photo book series of Mu Zhouyi's classical series, and that "Yang"'s delivery address was Building 3 of a male dormitory at a certain university.
Later, another classmate from the Film Academy of C University came out to reveal that before Xie Yang applied for day study in his senior year, he lived in Room 401 of Building 3 of the men's dormitory, and that his previous WeChat ID was also Yang.
Mu Zhouyi has been very popular in the past two years and is currently the best-performing young actress. Xie Yang has just become a hit, and the songs he sings are topping the charts on all major music players. It was suspected that two popular people were related, and Weibo immediately became lively.
——The new popular male singer is a fan of the popular young actress!
——Xie Yang is a fan of Mu Zhouyi!
——Xie Yang has a crush on Mu Zhouyi!
——Xie Yang entered the circle just to pursue Mu Zhouyi!
——Xie Yang approached Ji Zehui, actually to get to know Mu Zhouyi!
——On the day when Xie Yang and Ji Zehui went to record, there was reliable information confirming that Mu Zhouyi was also in the recording studio, and the two may have already created sparks!
——Xie Yang and Mu Zhouyi are suspected to be in love!
Public opinion and rumors were like a rocket, rushing towards a completely fabricated direction. When Jie Yang woke up and logged into Weibo after receiving a phone call from Hu Biao in exasperation, the marketing account had already dug out the parking lot surveillance footage of him and Mu Zhouyi meeting in the underground parking lot, and they looked excited as if they had already confirmed that he and Mu Zhouyi were in a relationship.
Xie Yang clicked on the surveillance video and took a look.
The angle of the surveillance footage was very tricky, coming from the side and rear. Everyone else in the picture was blurred, only he and Mu Zhouyi were clear. The scene where Mu Zhouyi almost hit him was enlarged and slowed down. From the side and back, it looked like he and Mu Zhouyi had just held hands and then let go, and were flirting with each other.
Xie Yang: “…”
He called Hu Biao back.
Hu Biao was so anxious that he was dizzy and couldn't speak clearly: "What's going on? What's going on? Aren't you not in a relationship? What's going on between you and Mu Zhouyi! You just became famous and you're exposing your relationship. Do you still want to stay in the industry?"
"We were not in a relationship, we didn't know each other. The surveillance footage was from a chosen angle. Ji Zehui and Yuan Pang were both there at the time, and Mu Zhouyi accidentally hit me. We didn't hold hands."
Hu Biao calmed down a little and asked, "Are you a fan of Mu Zhouyi?"
“…”
Xie Yang recalled the Weibo account of the original owner who only followed Mu Zhouyi in his original phone when he first came here, and said uncertainly: "Maybe it is."
In the original book, the original owner's attitude towards Mu Zhouyi was always a little strange. He would inexplicably avoid and target him as soon as they met, which was very unreasonable. After seeing the small Weibo account, he had another guess about this unreasonableness.
In the original book, after Mu Zhouyi used his favorability skill on the original owner, he not only did not develop a favorable impression of the heroine, but instead began to madly target the heroine and tried to sow discord between Qiu Xing and the heroine. Now that I think about it, the reason why the original owner had this reaction was probably not because he hated the heroine too much to be affected by the golden finger, but because the original owner officially fell in love with the heroine under the influence of the heroine's golden finger, and did not want the heroine to fall into the fire pit of Qiu Xing, so he began to try his best to alienate the relationship between the heroine and Qiu Xing.
According to this speculation, the original owner's behavior of helping the male protagonist later became more reasonable, because the cowardly original owner knew that he was destined not to get the female protagonist, so he simply turned to the male protagonist. This would not only help the female protagonist get rid of Qiu Xing's entanglement and fulfill the female protagonist's happiness, but he himself could also be freed from his marriage with Qiu Xing, achieving the best of both worlds.
A sinful plot.
Hu Biao's voice rose again: "What do you mean by maybe? Give me a definite answer, is it true or not? I'm your agent, how can I help you if you don't tell me the truth!"
Xie Yang got up from bed and walked towards the bathroom, saying, "Then you can just assume that I was a fan of Mu Zhouyi, but I stopped being a fan before his debut, and now I want to turn against him."
Hu Biao was probably too excited and asked curiously, "Why did it turn black?"
"Because I suspect she's not a good person." Xie Yang put his phone on the shelf with the speakerphone on, picked up his toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste. "Don't worry, I'll do a live broadcast to clarify things. This matter will be easy to deal with."
When Hu Biao heard Xie Yang say that he wanted to start a live broadcast, he sobered up in a second and said quickly, "Don't start it yet! Wait until we get to the company and everyone has discussed what you should say before starting it. Come over as soon as possible, and I'll contact the PR department."
Xie Yang responded and hung up the phone.
When going downstairs for breakfast, Xie Yang found that the atmosphere in the restaurant was not right.
The nanny hesitated as she shrank at the kitchen door, looking over here, and the chef, Master Liao, wearing an apron, stood behind the nanny, winking at him desperately. Qiu Xing was sitting at the dining table, cooling down a plate of buns.
"The revelations on Weibo are all fake. I am not a fan of Mu Zhouyi, nor do I like her. The surveillance footage was taken when I ran into Mu Zhouyi in the parking lot on the day Ji Zehui and I went to record. At that time, Mu Zhouyi suddenly changed her direction and raised her hand to hit me. She apologized to me, and I left immediately after I said it was okay."
Xie Yang explained as he sat down opposite Qiu Xing. He reached out to take Qiu Xing's bowl and served him porridge. He asked, "Why are you checking Weibo so early in the morning? Don't you usually check company emails?"
Qiu Xing finally looked up at Jie Yang and said, "I didn't check Weibo."
"Why do you look like this when I didn't brush it? Aren't you angry about me?"
Qiu Xing's tone was cold, he suppressed his anger: "It's a news push. Jie Yang, you are really restless, and that Mu Zhouyi... Why is it Mu Zhouyi again!"
Because Mu Zhouyi is the heroine.
"Don't be angry." Xie Yang put the bowl of porridge in front of Qiu Xing. "This public opinion broke out too smoothly and the pace developed too quickly. Obviously someone is behind it. We can't just leave it alone. I will do a live broadcast to clarify this matter after I go to the company. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."
“No time!”
Qiu Xing still looked unhappy. He got up and left after eating a few bites of breakfast.
Xie Yang watched Qiu Xing leave, ate a few bites, and then went out to Yang Xing.
At ten minutes before nine, Xie Yang arrived at Yang Bank. The downstairs was already surrounded by paparazzi, so Hu Biao came down personally to take Xie Yang upstairs.
The PR department was waiting in the conference room. When they saw Hu Biao and Jie Yang coming in, the PR department director immediately handed over a draft and said, "Boss, we think it would be better if you don't admit that you are a fan of Mu Zhouyi, but you can express your appreciation for Mu Zhouyi's professionalism and try to be more polite and keep a distance."
Xie Yang took the manuscript, glanced at it, and asked, "So I'm going to start a live broadcast?"
Hu Biao hurriedly said, "Don't do it here, go to the office and make the live broadcast more private. If it's too official, no one will believe it."
Xie Yang nodded, stood up and went to his office.
At nine o'clock sharp, Xie Yang started a live broadcast on Weibo, and the number of viewers exceeded one million within a few minutes.
Xie Yang held the phone casually, not caring about the angle, and replied: "Let me first respond to what everyone is most concerned about. I am not in a relationship with Senior Mu Zhouyi. The surveillance angle was deliberately chosen. That day was the first time I met Senior Mu Zhouyi. Senior Ji Zehui was standing next to me at the time. Senior Mu Zhouyi accompanied Senior Yuan Pang to the parking lot. The four of us met by chance in a recording studio under Huangtian, and then I accompanied Senior Ji Zehui to say hello. The only communication between me and Senior Mu Zhouyi was that when Senior Mu Zhouyi left, he pulled his bag too much and accidentally hit me. He apologized to me, and I said it was okay. Every word I said is true. Welcome everyone to dig out the full version of the surveillance video to restore the truth."
The comments were densely packed, and Xie Yang glanced at them casually, picked one and replied: "There is no secret love, no sparks, no hand holding. I didn't enter the circle for Mu Zhouyi senior. I entered the circle to sing and make money."
The answer of making money was too straightforward, and there was a brief silence in the barrage section.
Afterwards, everyone started asking Jie Yang if he was a fan of Mu Zhouyi and whether he had ever bought any of Mu Zhouyi's photos.
Xie Yang estimated the possibility of being caught lying, and threw away the manuscript given by the PR department, saying: "Even if I say now that I am not a fan of Senior Mu Zhouyi and have never bought any photo albums, no one will believe it. So here I sincerely invite the student who broke the news to come out and have a good chat with me. I also want to confirm whether I have ever bought Senior Mu Zhouyi's photo albums."
