172. Public Opinion Storm
[I'm still confused, can anyone help me sort out the logic?]
[Dizzy +1, could it be that the timeline is like this: Shu Yan recommends Guan Miao to Guo Huai - Guan Miao is harassed - accidentally discovers evidence - cooperates with the police - Guo Huai discovers Guan Miao is an undercover - prepares to kill to silence him - Guan Miao gets injured?
The above logic is pure nonsense. Any similarities are purely coincidental! I'm taking the blame and running away.]
[Guan Miao's studio hasn't said anything yet, I'm still curious.]
[I think they were probably pretty shocked too. This level of confidentiality is very strict. Not only the people in the studio, but even Guan Miao's parents probably didn't know about this.]
Just as this comment said, most people in Guan Miao's studio were shocked. Deng Ling and Xue'er, who were about to go downstairs to buy lunch, were just watching the show, but after receiving a Weibo post from Weng Xuan, they realized that Miao Miao had another big surprise for them.
"No, why didn't Miaomiao tell us anything?"
[Sister Deng, everyone in the fan group is asking what’s going on. The public’s reaction has changed from joy to confusion, and now they have begun to question the authenticity of this first prize.
You need to come up with a decision quickly, otherwise Miaomiao's three years of work will be in vain.]
Weng Xuan's words brought Deng Ling back to her senses. She looked up suddenly and said, "Xue'er, wait a moment. I'll let Yiyi go with you. I have to go ask Miaomiao what's going on."
"OK."
Ever since Guan Miao got into trouble, the people in the studio were worried that someone would retaliate, so they assigned a bodyguard to each of the studio members just in case.
“Miaomiao, Miaomiao!”
Guan Miao, who was watching a TV series, looked up and saw Deng Ling, who looked hurried. He was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Deng Ling took a breath and turned to Yiyi, saying, "Yiyi, please accompany Xue'er to buy lunch. I have something to discuss with Miaomiao."
"Okay, Sister Deng, please remember to send me the lunch list just now."
"Um."
After Yiyi left, Deng Ling asked about the online incident, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Ah?" Guan Miao was puzzled. "No."
Deng Ling didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly, "Are you an undercover agent?"
"Undercover?"
Guan Miao's eyes widened and his expression was panicked for a moment, but he returned to normal in a second and said with a smile: "Sister Deng Ling, don't talk nonsense, I'm just a small actor, how can I be an undercover agent? What can I do undercover?
My sister, are you reading those messy gossips again?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Deng Ling shoved the page in her face. "The official news has already been released, and you're still trying to make excuses? Tell me, what's going on?"
Unexpectedly, Guan Miao frantically grabbed his phone and checked the post. "That's not right. What's going on?"
She looked up at Deng Ling and said, "No one told me this, Sister Deng. I just found out too. What's going on?"
"What's going on? I want to know too. Are you here to act seriously or are you really here as an undercover agent?"
"Of course I'm here to act seriously."
She was afraid that Deng Ling would get angry and not believe her, so she looked a little aggrieved. "Sister Deng, seriously, you know my usual state of mind when filming. Do you think I'm being perfunctory?"
Listening to Guan Miao's explanation, Deng Ling's anger gradually subsided. "What you said is true. I have basically met the people you met. They are all crew members. I haven't seen you have much contact with any suspicious people.
So how do we respond? Should we express gratitude, feel unworthy, or something else?
Guan Miao thought for a moment and said, "How about we ask Sister Chi Yi what she thinks? After all, this is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled properly, it will directly affect our future development."
"That's right. Ms. Chi must have more information than us. I'll call her now."
"Uh-huh."
She nodded obediently, but she was actually very confused in her heart. Could such a thing be exposed to the public so easily?
As they searched for solutions, online public opinion was almost out of control.
[Can you please come out and explain the situation personally?]
[Well, if I really can't help it, how about we talk about what the Guo family has done that harms national interests? Otherwise, even a Guan Miao fan like me would be upset watching this first-class merit.]
[Is there something that is not good for the public to know?]
Under this comment, someone curiously asked: [What did the above person post? Why does it show on my side that this comment violated the rules and has been deleted by the platform?]
[666.]
[Great! The Silver Tripod Award ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. If Guan Miao really wins the award, it means she'll be able to truly dominate the world from now on.]
[Then what are the other actresses supposed to do? Guan Miao was nominated, so they gave her the award just to save face, while the other actresses just have to run as runners-up?]
[Disrupt the market.]
[Also, Guan Miao's acting is just average. Just looking at the Silver Tripod Award nominations, we all know the quality of "Feng Hua Luan." I feel like the nominations were just a favor from the judges to Si Dong-soo. If he actually wins the award, it's definitely a shady deal.]
Weng Xuan was browsing Weibo and saw that the hot comments under the official Weibo account had shifted from the topic of "Is Guan Miao worthy of the first-class merit" to the topic of "Does Guan Miao really have acting skills?"
It is not difficult to imagine how many celebrities have bought water armies. After all, no one wants such a big bug to suddenly appear in their industry, which will greatly affect the balance of the industry.
Even if he couldn't get this first-class merit, he had to make Guan Miao's reputation as bad as possible, otherwise he would never be able to get over this mountain.
Before Guan Miao responded, the W City Police Department responded to netizens' questions.
Since the announcement at 9:30 this morning that Guan Miao had received the First Class Merit Award, our company's phones have been ringing non-stop. First, we are grateful for the public's attention to our work. Secondly, our decision to award Guan Miao this award was not based on favoritism, but was made after careful consideration.
After discussion, our company will publish some case details for public inspection.
After investigation, our company found that within three years of Guo's migration, Guo and several other suspects had sold many of my country's secrets to Country M through various channels, including but not limited to military confidential documents, medical, geological, various rare plants, aerospace technology and other types of top-secret documents.
If Comrade Guan Miao had not discovered and reported the incident in time, the losses to our country would be difficult to estimate. Moreover, it was because Comrade Guan Miao had obtained key evidence that night that Guo took the risk and chose to kill her to silence her.
Fortunately, Comrade Guan Miao had submitted the evidence to the police in advance, otherwise Guo and others would have gone unpunished.
This is the situation in this case. Comrade Guan Miao deserves this first-class merit. We also ask all netizens to stop spreading false information and misleading the public.]
As soon as the police released the information, Guan Miao Studio also released a blog post, [Teacher Guan Miao is still in the hospital bed. This blog post is published on behalf of the studio.
I would like to thank the W City police for giving me this commendation. This is the greatest affirmation and encouragement to me. Maintaining national interests is the duty and obligation of every citizen. I am honored to help the police capture the suspect. At the same time, I also hope that similar incidents will not occur again in the future.
This first-class merit is not only a commendation but also a warning. I will continue to work hard in the future and live up to everyone's expectations.
Finally, regarding the netizens' concerns about "backdoor" situations, I can only say that I won't let the judging panel rig things up, and whoever deserves the award will get it. I'm also curious whether I can give the shortlisted actors a relatively fair selection process.
Without further ado, let’s wait and see.]
The two blog posts were published one after another, once again sparking heated discussions among netizens.
[No, this Guo guy has so many secrets? Is he really from our country?]
[With so many secrets, a rough estimate would put their value at over 10 billion, right?]
[Not only that, there are also confidential military documents. If something like this really falls into the hands of the Americans, wouldn't we be like lambs to the slaughter?]
[Guo Dongxi, death penalty!]
[Very good, Guan Miao deserves this first-class merit. This achievement is truly extraordinary.]
[Am I the only one curious about the Guan family's reaction? If I won a first-class merit, my grandfather would revise the family tree overnight.]
[I don't know. I don't think I've seen anyone claiming to be Guan Miao's friend, relative, or neighbor making comments online.]
[Ahhh, I'm a fan, damn, Guan Miao is awesome.]
Netizens were curious about the case, and fans in the fan circle naturally cared more about Guan Miao's behavior. When they saw her last words, they all had secret expectations in their hearts.
Can it really be relatively fair?
Is there really no shady dealings?
Guan Miao didn't know that she was currently confirming San San's words with Chi Yi.
"Are you sure the popularity has skyrocketed and we've reached the target?"
[Yes,] San San jumped lightly onto her bed and explained, [In fact, since the fifth day after you woke up, your love value has been on the rise, but the value is not large, so I never told you.
But two days ago, as soon as the case details were announced, my popularity started to rise. I don't know why, but half an hour ago, it stopped moving. I looked and realized it was maxed out.]
It should be because everyone knows what the Guo family has done, and the patriotic sentiment is aroused, and the likeability value is rising rapidly.
Guan Miao's throat rolled over, suppressing the anticipation and excitement in his heart, "Then how many points are converted into the maximum level of love value?"
In an instant, everyone in the ward looked at San San, expecting to get an astronomical figure from it.
There are so many people in our country, even if the probability is one in ten, it should add up to a million, right?
Under everyone's expectant gaze, San San finally spoke, "Including your previous amount, the total is eight figures."
Wen Yuning was the first to react, "Eight digits, eight digits, that's tens of millions!!"
Following closely behind was Guan Miao's "Fuck."
"Don't say bad words."
"Sorry, sorry, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself."
After saying that, she turned to look at San San, "Is it really eight digits?"
"Of course, what good would it do me to lie to you?" San San stepped on her foot and continued, "These are just enough for me to go home, so our contract officially enters the countdown."
It looked at her with a complicated expression, “Actually, I didn’t expect you to accomplish this goal in less than four years, nor did I expect that you would accomplish it in this way.
Although there were some unexpected issues, it's good news that it was completed. I'll give you everything in the warehouse whenever it's convenient for you.]
"A lot?"
Hearing her innocent words, San San smiled. "At least your VVIP ward can't be opened, and the hospital is crowded with people. Are you sure it's okay to take these things out?"
After San San's reminder, Guan Miao realized that the situation was indeed not right. "Then let's discuss it. I will give you a plan within three days at the latest."
[Then I will wait for your good news.]
