What were originally supportive audience members have now turned into skeptics.
The host tried his best to quiet down all the audience members on stage, but Ye Zhizhou did not panic excessively; her expression remained calm.
If she wasn't mistaken, the person who embarrassed her behind the scenes must be Guo Siyi. Considering what happened on Weibo yesterday, she wasn't surprised at all.
Seeing how excited the audience was, He Guinian's expression wasn't very pleasant either. He was invited to be a judge on this show purely because he was one of the most famous hosts in the industry.
He had no idea Ye Zhizhou was coming when he arrived. If he had known, he would have definitely thought it over carefully before making a decision.
After thinking it over carefully, He Guinian decided to explain the matter to everyone.
“I am one of the victims in this incident. First of all, I did like Ye Zhizhou’s mother, Dong Xinqi, but her mother has been gone for many years. Secondly, I didn’t know Ye Zhizhou was coming before I came to the show. It’s a large-scale talent show with many participants, and I can’t possibly pay attention to everyone.”
His explanation only fueled the audience's emotions, as they believed that He Guinian's explanation confirmed the truth of what was said on Weibo.
The host was surprised that He Guinian would personally explain, and she quickly took control of the situation.
"Please be quiet for a moment. This has nothing to do with the performance. We will explain to the reporters backstage. Please get ready to go on stage next."
He Guinian immediately understood what the host meant. This time, his explanation came from the bottom of his heart, but who knew that the audience really wouldn't believe him.
He finally understood why celebrities hide their private lives so well; sometimes, it's not that explaining will make people believe.
Misunderstandings will still occur.
Ye Zhizhou bowed to the audience on stage, then left the stage calmly, completely unaffected by the attacks and insults.
Her performance was a complete success; all that was left was to wait for the scores.
When she arrived backstage, Xu Zihe looked at her nervously.
"Ye Zhizhou, you really know Teacher He? Could what they said on Weibo be true?"
Ye Zhizhou nodded, "It's true, but Teacher He didn't know I was coming to the show before."
Xu Zihe breathed a sigh of relief. She had seen Ye Zhizhou's performance before, and there really wasn't anyone better than Ye Zhizhou in the show.
Therefore, not everyone agrees with the rumors yet, and some people have raised questions about them.
Xu Zihe immediately had his agent speak up for Ye Zhizhou.
"So what do you plan to do? They're slandering you like this, are you just going to put up with it?"
Ye Zhizhou pursed his lips. "Let's talk about it after the show ends."
Xu Zihe stared at her in a daze. She thought she was one of the more composed celebrities in the entertainment industry, but she didn't expect Ye Zhizhou to be even more composed.
"Are you sure? It'll be about a week before the show ends."
Ye Zhizhou raised an eyebrow. "No, it's after the show ends today. I'll let them know the consequences of spreading rumors."
A cold glint suddenly flashed in her eyes, and Xu Zihe couldn't help but tremble. Was the person just now really Ye Zhizhou? Why did he feel different from the previous one?
"Okay, if there's anything I can help you with, you must let me know."
Xu Zihe reminded Ye Zhizhou that she would support him unconditionally.
Ye Zhizhou nodded. "Okay, you'd better get ready, you're about to go on stage."
After Xu Zihe took the stage, Ye Zhizhou opened her phone to check the revelations on Weibo. She quickly opened the whistleblower's Weibo page, sent the nickname and link to Qin Xuan, and asked Qin Xuan to help her find out who it was.
Despite the audience's strong opinions about Ye Zhizhou, they had to admit that Ye Zhizhou's performance was indeed the best throughout the entire show, the kind that made you want to watch it again and again, while the performances of the other contestants were somewhat inferior, including Xu Zihe.
Because the show was broadcast live, it was constantly trending on Weibo.
Ye Zhizhou topped the charts again; her performance was so perfect that it was shared on Weibo by fans, attracting many casual viewers.
[Mango Kiss You: To be honest, regardless of whether there was any behind-the-scenes manipulation, Ye Zhizhou's performance was flawless.]
[It's Little Sweetie: I agree with the comment above. I'd accept it even if there was some behind-the-scenes manipulation in these performances. Please give us more!]
[Cute Duo: To be honest, Teacher He's character is well-known in the entertainment industry. Those who spread rumors really don't know anything about Teacher He. If they knew anything at all, they wouldn't be so unreasonably slandering our Teacher He!]
The trending topic further increased the show's popularity.
However, the negative impact was also significant. Some people posted the audience's reactions on Weibo, criticizing the production team for not investigating relationships beforehand, which was unfair to other contestants.
He also said that if Ye Zhizhou really wins first place in this competition, he will stop watching the show.
At this very moment, Xiao Bei, who had posted on Weibo as arranged by Guo Siyi's agent, was lying on the sofa reaping the fruits of her victory. In her opinion, Ye Zhizhou was unlikely to make a comeback. In talent shows, the audience's attitude was still very important.
Now it seems the audience is disappointed in Ye Zhizhou; she has achieved her goal and feels quite relieved.
Guo Siyi's agent also called her.
“Our plan succeeded with you, but when the show aired, the audience questioned it on the spot. Didn’t you see Ye Zhizhou’s face turn green?”
When Xiao Bei heard that Ye Zhizhou's face had turned green, she hurriedly hung up the phone and went to watch the live broadcast again. She finally found Ye Zhizhou's performance segment, but after Ye Zhizhou left the stage, she couldn't see why he was unhappy.
——
In the small two-bedroom apartment of Grandpa Huo in Jinshi, Qin Xuan received Ye Zhizhou's message and immediately turned on his computer to check the IP address. Soon, he got the result and sent it to Ye Zhizhou.
Ye Zhizhou, who was quietly browsing Weibo in the background, visibly narrowed his eyes upon receiving this message. It wasn't Guo Siyi, but Xiao Bei.
It seems that Xiao Bei is always a threat to her, no matter what.
Since that's the case, let's just eliminate this threat once and for all today.
In terms of dirt on her, Guo Siyi and Xiao Bei each have far more than she does. If she wanted dirt on those two, she could just spend money; there's no need for all that trouble.
In less than half an hour, she had a lot of dirt on Guo Siyi and Xiao Bei, along with solid evidence, on her phone.
However, before she could even post it, Xiao Bei and Guo Siyi had already been exposed.
The nation's largest media outlet directly criticized these two artists on Weibo, accusing them of backstabbing others and using unfair means to frame them during a talent show.
Weibo is buzzing again, with netizens turning to believe Ye Zhizhou.
