Chapter 58. Chu Ruofu didn't find it funny. ...
Under the influence of Qiao Yimo's fans, viewers in the live stream expressed their sympathy for Qiao Yimo.
[I'm so angry! Why should Sister Momo apologize? If anyone should apologize, it should be the fans who cyberbullied her.]
Qiao Yimo has already apologized, why doesn't Chu Ruofu forgive her quickly?
Are you kidding me? If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?
Upon seeing this, the show's director frowned. Last episode, he received a message from Qiao Yimo's agent, who wanted to communicate with him and requested that a male guest be arranged to be Qiao Yimo's CP.
If the male guests are only devoted to one female guest, the dating show will be uninteresting, the script will be bland and no one will watch it, and the result will be the same.
The director only agreed to give it a try. Qiao Yimo, as a former film queen, is still a force to be reckoned with. Arranging for her to meet male guests will attract attention and generate buzz.
He did send a tentative message to each of the male guests, suggesting that they not get hung up on just one female guest.
When the four male guests received his message, they all thought he had been hacked or scammed.
The director spoke with them privately, and each male guest had a distinct personality, which led to him being reprimanded and unwilling to interact with other female guests. The production team had no right to change their minds.
The production team can do whatever they want outside the show, as long as it doesn't affect the broadcast.
What is Qiao Yimo up to? When she cyberbullied Chu Ruofu, she didn't come out to apologize in person, but instead had her studio issue a perfunctory apology statement.
The fifth episode of the dating reality show has started filming. Qiao Yimo was late, and then suddenly ran up to Chu Ruofu to beg for forgiveness. It was obvious that Qiao Yimo wanted to use public opinion to force Chu Ruofu to forgive her.
The director wanted to cut off the live stream, but the viewers had all seen it, and suddenly shutting it down would definitely cause a huge uproar online and attract negative comments.
Qiao Yimo apologized in front of the live broadcast camera, putting on a pitiful and miserable appearance. This was simply putting Chu Ruofu on the spot, leaving her with no choice but to forgive her actions.
Xia Yuqing scoffed. She had been cyberbullied by Qiao Yimo's fans, and Qiao Yimo had never apologized to her. Now, she was coming to apologize to Chu Ruofu in a pitiful manner, which was largely an act.
This kind of woman, who appears amiable on the surface but harbors malicious intentions underneath, is truly chilling.
If you don't see through her true colors and one day she stabs you in the back, and you still thank her without even knowing it, you'd be the biggest fool in the world.
Song Yi remained silent. She was unaware of the intricacies of the entertainment industry, and since she wasn't the victim, she didn't take sides.
Gu Junsheng looked at Qiao Yimo indifferently.
Li Yichen was just as indifferent as him.
Lu Xubai's voice was cold and hard: "Apologizing is your business, but the person who was hurt has the right not to forgive you."
Qiao Yimo's face paled even more upon hearing Lu Xubai's sharp words, and she looked at him with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.
"The idol is responsible for the fans' behavior. That's true. If I could manage every single fan, that would be great. But I have tens of millions of fans, and I can't possibly control every single one of them."
Shen Wuyang gave a cold smile and said, "One fan can't possibly escalate public opinion to the entire internet. You say you can't control your fans' behavior, but you just don't want to."
Qiao Yimo was rebuffed by the two male guests, and large tears instantly welled up in her eyes. Her voice choked with emotion: "I didn't know that the fans would be so extreme. I really tried my best to control them."
Live stream chat:
That's enough! I feel sorry for Sister Momo!
Actually, you can't really blame Qiao Yimo; she's just an innocent female celebrity.
[Hahahaha, I'm not crazy. The fans have been unfairly blamed; they're suffering in silence.]
Why is the production team keeping this kind of morally bankrupt female celebrity around? Wouldn't it be better to just let her leave?
[Next time, the production team should invite all non-celebrity participants to film a dating reality show. The celebrity feuds are making the show a mess.]
Qiao Yimo looked at Chu Ruofu with tears in her eyes: "Teacher Chu, please forgive me. I'm really in pain. I haven't been able to eat or sleep for the past few days."
Chu Ruofu sighed inwardly and said, "I forgive you."
Xia Yuqing stared wide-eyed at Chu Ruofu, feeling extremely disapproving. How could they let Qiao Yimo off the hook?
Qiao Yimo: "Teacher Chu, thank you on behalf of my fans."
Chu Ruofu didn't actually want to forgive Qiao Yimo, but since it was a live broadcast, in order to maintain the appearance of harmony, she couldn't let Qiao Yimo beg and plead, otherwise it would seem like she was being unreasonable.
After the meal, the guests left the restaurant.
Chu Ruofu didn't eat much tonight. She went straight back to her room and took the jade hairpin off her head, putting it in a box.
Just as she took her hair out and tied it behind her head with a rope, her phone received a new message. Xue Fangfei bombarded her with messages, furiously criticizing Qiao Yimo for being shameless. She hated Qiao Yimo to death and was pretending to be pitiful to beg for forgiveness.
Chu Ruofu had never dealt with a girl like Qiao Yimo before. She didn't know that there were such people in life who would be nice to you on the surface but do things against you behind your back.
They did something bad, but pretended to be innocent and still wanted to befriend you.
Chu Ruofu rubbed her forehead, feeling somewhat helpless. Xue Fangfei had repeatedly told her at home that when she came to the dating show, she should give Qiao Yimo the cold shoulder and never forgive Qiao Yimo.
People forget things very quickly these days. After a while, Qiao Yimo will clear her name through editing, and people will forget about her cyberbullying and spreading rumors.
She had no choice but to forgive Qiao Yimo in that situation. The guests were all watching her and Qiao Yimo, and if she didn't forgive her, she would be deliberately making things difficult for Qiao Yimo.
After the guests left.
Qiao Yimo found a conspicuous spot in the courtyard to sit, and the camera could see her sad profile. It wasn't enough for her to just get Chu Ruofu's forgiveness; she had to appear weak and innocent to win the audience's forgiveness.
In the courtyard, Qiao Yimo leaned back in a chair, and anyone passing by on the veranda or opening a window could see her.
She needs to prove that it was online bullying and rumors spread by fans, and that she was just a victim.
People have an innate desire to help those in distress; they feel empathy when they see injured animals or heartbroken beauties. She only gains the sympathy and attention of the guests when she is heartbroken in a conspicuous place.
Viewers in the live stream watched Qiao Yimo being alone and heartbroken.
Sigh, this whole thing is a mess.
[Since Fu Mei has already forgiven her, who is she still putting on an act for? The male guest?]
[The fourth female guest made it seem like all the guests were bullying her; she's so scheming, I hate her.]
[Neither of the female guests did anything wrong; it's my fault, I was terribly wrong. Everyone, please criticize me, not the fourth female guest.]
Hmm, I doubt anyone would actually go and comfort her.
The yard was planted with plants, which attracted many mosquitoes. Qiao Yimo was bitten all over and felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to go back to her room and lie down comfortably. She turned her back to the camera and showed a bit of impatience.
Since her debut, when has she ever suffered such injustice?
Qiao Yimo recalled her past glory, how she had experienced standing at the top and being able to decide other people's fate with a wave of her hand. Now that she had fallen to this state, she felt resentful.
She's ambitious and capable; why should she lose to an ordinary woman?
Qiao Yimo overestimated her charm. She waited for a long time but no one came to look at her. Instead, her body was covered in red pimples from being bitten. She got up and quickly went back to her room.
"I'm dying of laughter!" Xia Yuqing returned to the bedroom from outside, laughing uncontrollably. "Do you know what I just saw?"
Chu Ruofu looked puzzled.
Xia Yuqing said, "I saw Qiao Yimo staying in the courtyard, probably waiting for someone to comfort her, but no one went, and she went back in a sorry state."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ruofu became somewhat wary.
Qiao Yimo was willing to apologize to reverse public opinion, which shows that she has no bottom line.
Such people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
She hoped that she and Qiao Yimo could keep to themselves and avoid any further incidents so that the recording of the program could be completed smoothly.
That evening, Qiao Yimo's studio bought several trending topics.
The stark contrast between her pitiful apology and Chu Ruofu's indifference deeply saddened a wave of fans, making those who liked Qiao Yimo even more devoted, and even leading some viewers to criticize the male guests for being cold-blooded and heartless.
the next day.
The recording of this episode officially began. The female guests were quietly taken away by the production team and placed in a separate dressing room, where staff changed their clothes, did their makeup, and styled their hair.
After the makeup and hair styling were completed, the female guests were taken to different parts of the ancient town and hidden away.
The male guest also changed his outfit, and the production team announced the rules of this game segment: whoever finds the female guest first will be paired with her as this episode's partner.
