Chapter 149 The Butterfly Effect
The mix of true and false news in high society is stirring up emotions among its members.
Meanwhile, in the live streaming industry, a storm of attacks against An Jin is brewing.
A lot can be accomplished in a little over a month, and the money Brother Yue spent ultimately paid off.
On various online platforms, one after another, negative information about An Jin began to appear.
A month ago, the negative information about An Jin that was exposed by marketing accounts was extremely outrageous.
These outrageous accusations will not only fail to convince people, but will also make them think that the marketing accounts are out of their minds.
But gradually, as the false information released by various marketing accounts became more and more believable, people who were just watching the spectacle couldn't help but start to have doubts.
Before the doubters could resolve their doubts, a third wave of revelations followed.
The first and second waves of revelations served as a prelude. First, some extremely absurd fabricated dirt was revealed, followed by some seemingly true but actually false dirt.
These two waves of revelations are just a prelude; the final wave of revelations is the climax.
The third wave of revelations is all true; not only is it true, but it also includes some of the same old dirt that An Jin has mentioned before.
He skirts the edges of morality, flatters the boss, swears, is materialistic, and looks down on fans who are poor and therefore focus on companionship.
All of these accusations are true.
Therefore, the comments section under these materials is full of people genuinely criticizing An Jin.
And it's not just these things. An Jin has been live streaming for so long, so naturally, like other streamers, she always makes some dirty jokes, says some flirtatious things, and does some ambiguous things when chatting with her bosses in private.
Although most of these chat logs were handled by Yan Qing.
But this account belongs to An Jin, and the chat content was also instructed by An Jin to be chatted in this way by Yan Qing.
So all these things, rightfully, became An Jin's fault.
An Jin felt very wronged after seeing her older brother expose her.
Damn it, when your big head was being controlled by your second brother, you came to me to talk about some borderline things. After that, you wanted me to be your girlfriend. You kept pestering me, and after I rejected you too many times, you turned around and posted me online.
Well, you're really something.
An Jin gritted her teeth and cursed at people at home.
There are quite a few people in her family now: Yan Qing, Pei Ning, Xue Mingyue, and Zhang Yuanyuan who rushed over after hearing the news.
"Why are so many people suddenly exposing your dirty secrets all at once?"
Zhang Yuanyuan, who has been active in the live streaming industry, looked at the news online and asked incisively, "An'an, have you offended someone?"
Although An Jin was angry, she remained rational.
She recalled her live streams over the past two months and affirmed, "No, I've been streaming normally for the past two months, and I haven't even participated in many PK battles."
Xue Mingyue looked at An Jin: "They're doing this to you like they would to a big star. The rumors are 30% true and 70% false. If you respond to one, you'll have to respond to all of them. It'll either exhaust you or drive you crazy."
"Most importantly, among the real scandals, there are many that you can't wash away, and you can't even respond to them."
An Jin: "Will a cooling-off period be successful?"
Xue Mingyue: "In the public eye, giving it the cold shoulder is tantamount to admitting to all these scandals."
This would be a huge blow to An Jin's reputation.
An Jin fell silent.
The brightly lit living room fell silent as An Jin remained silent.
Yan Qing looked at An Jin with concern and reached out to grasp An Jin's tightly clenched right hand.
"It's okay, An'an."
Seeing this, Pei Ning immediately grabbed An Jin's other hand, not to be outdone, and said, "With us here, you'll be alright."
Unable to squeeze in, Zhang Yuanyuan stared wide-eyed.
Xue Mingyue, who also couldn't squeeze in, glanced at the three people sitting in a row.
Comforted, An Jin ignored the two ambitious men and was deep in thought.
"How about this?"
An Jin said, "I'll respond in the fan group first and play the victim. As for the online world, I won't respond."
Xue Mingyue: "You want to protect your core fanbase?"
An Jin nodded: "The opinions of passersby are not important to me. The most important thing is my fans. As long as my fan base doesn't fall apart, I can still do live streaming and continue to make money after this storm passes."
Only the streamer truly understands the importance of a strong fan base.
Among the people in the room, Zhang Yuanyuan was one who agreed: "That's fine, An'an."
Xue Mingyue glanced at Zhang Yuanyuan and said softly, "It's not a problem to keep things quiet to outsiders, but An'an, if you really keep quiet, all these false rumors will become true."
An Jin looked at Xue Mingyue: "Do you have a solution?"
If there's no other way, just shut up.
Xue Mingyue glanced at Zhang Yuanyuan: "Of course."
The people inside the room asked, "What's the plan? Tell us quickly."
Xue Mingyue looked at Zhang Yuanyuan: "Zhang Yuanyuan, are you willing?"
Zhang Yuanyuan glanced at An Jin and Yan Qing, and without much thought, said directly, "Of course."
"Yan Qing is my cousin, and An Jin is a senior who has helped me a lot. I am willing to do anything for her."
An Jin helped Zhang Yuanyuan build her live-streaming career, and at this critical juncture, Zhang Yuanyuan agreed without even thinking about what it was about.
Xue Mingyue smiled and said, "An'an can't respond on her own right now. All these things are aimed at her. As soon as she responds, more dissenting voices will emerge."
"Therefore, the person who responds cannot be An'an."
Zhang Yuanyuan understood. She took a deep breath, even though she knew the consequence would be being attacked by anti-fans.
Without hesitation, she asked, "How should I respond?"
Xue Mingyue took out the answers given by professionals on her phone and taught Zhang Yuanyuan step by step: "Sincerity is enough. An'an wants to maintain her fan base, so your response is not actually for passers-by and haters, but also for your fans."
Xue Mingyue asked An Jin, "An An, you know your fans best. You should know what they don't care about and what they care about. Yuan Yuan's external responses only need to address the questions that fans want to know most. You can handle other questions in the fan group."
An Jin thought for a moment, then slapped Pei Ning, making Pei Ning stand up and letting Zhang Yuanyuan sit next to her.
“Yuanyuan, come sit here, I’ll tell you how to write it.”
As Zhang Yuanyuan stood up and sat down next to An Jin, she couldn't help but give Pei Ning a provocative look.
Pei Ning: ?
Xue Mingyue, who witnessed everything: 乛乛
An Jin spoke softly about her thoughts, while Zhang Yuanyuan, who was listening and taking notes, glanced at her phone, barely able to contain herself.
"An'an, is it really okay for you to respond like this?"
She felt this wasn't a response, but rather a confession.
An Jin nodded: "Just respond like this. The rumors about me online are fake to begin with. If I apologize, wouldn't that make them true?"
Speaking of this, Pei Ning, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up: "An'an, what should we do with those marketing accounts?"
An Jin looked at Pei Ning: "What do you say?"
Pei Ning: "Sue them to death?"
An Jin: "Okay, you can sue them for me."
Zhang Yuanyuan was a beat late in saying, "That's right, An'an, the rumors are all fake. We can sue the marketing accounts."
An Jin explained, "By the time the legal process is over, it will be too late. We need to respond first. We will definitely sue."
Zhang Yuanyuan said blankly, "Okay, I'll read the script once first, and you guys listen to it. If there are no problems, I'll go record the video later."
Everyone put down their phones, looked at Zhang Yuanyuan, and said "Good!" in unison.
