Chapter 60 I like someone, but I don’t require her to be perfect.
[Wok Chu Ling, is this a direct declaration of war? ]
Isn't it usually the company that speaks when a celebrity sues an ordinary person? Is there also a case where a celebrity sues an ordinary person themselves?
"Oh, right."
Chu Ling said, "I'm suing for defamation, not reputation. So if anyone comes out and says they've issued a lawyer's letter warning, it means they've hit the nail on the head and are guilty. I don't mind suing you too."
In this world, Chu Ling has a buff that makes everyone dislike him.
This means that people are more likely to believe rumors about her.
People always treat her with double standards when it comes to what she does.
Even if she personally came out to debunk the rumors to this extent, there would always be people who would make excuses and say that debunking a rumor doesn't mean it's false, and that celebrities lie without hesitation.
Even if she sues the rumormongers, some people will still complain that she is a big star and how could she bully an ordinary person.
The world had never been on her side.
So it is too difficult to prove yourself and make everyone believe you.
Fortunately, Chu Ling did not do such a stupid thing as performing a caesarean section to remove the powder.
Chu Ling said coldly, "Now that I've said this, if you still don't believe me, don't ask me for evidence. Go to the hospital and get an appointment to check if your mind is normal."
Believe it or not.
I don't care whether you like her or not.
It's her job to clarify, and it's your problem if you don't believe it.
Continue to hate her and blackmail her?
That's perfect, we can offer it to her as a tribute.
[Even though he's being sarcastic, he still seems quite confident.]
[This is the first time I've seen such a strong female celebrity... Looks like those rumors are really just fabrications.]
[Wait, what did I just hear? Did Chu Ling say she's quitting the entertainment industry? What do you mean by "at worst, I can just quit"? What do you mean by "even if I quit tomorrow"?]
[Is it because he's retiring that he's so fearless and unafraid of death?]
[It’s not that serious, Sister Chu! ! Just clarify it! ! Don’t leave! ]
[This show can't be without you, Sister Chu! Without you, where else would I go to watch such an entertaining dating show?]
[Yeah, how can I survive without you to deal with these pretentious guys and clean up their mess?]
Chu Ling: “……?”
Oh, no, she was just saying it casually to show her firm attitude.
Why do you take it seriously?
But netizens were really excited.
Look at what these rumors have done to a woman in her twenties! She even said she could just quit the industry, but she still wanted to sue them. That's really cruel.
[That means even if he really quits the entertainment industry, he should first clarify the rumors about himself. I believe it first. After all, the evidence is quite sufficient and more reliable than written materials.]
[Every day, they spread rumors that someone has a financial backer, but in reality, no one has ever exposed it. It's all just nonsense.]
[Since all the negative information is fake, I can't imagine how she managed to survive all these years.]
[She has been carrying this infamy for years!]
[And Chu Ling has never used depression or anything like that to play the victim! He always looks so energetic when he appears in front of the camera.]
[I'm sorry, I followed the trend and slandered Chu Ling. But I didn't know the truth at the time... I'm sorry.]
Chu Ling originally thought that after he had finished refuting the rumors, the growth rate of his income would slow down.
Unexpectedly, when I looked at the backend, I found that the income increased instead of decreased.
Chu Ling looked at the numerous comments asking her to stay and apologizing to her, and was stunned for a moment. She said to the system, "So, guilt, apology, and regret are also considered negative emotions, right?"
System: "...It seems so."
Considering Chu Ling's reputation at the time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was blacklisted by the entire internet.
However, her refutation of the rumor this time was well-reasoned and many people gradually believed her words because they felt embarrassed for having slandered her in the past.
Even the feeling of disgust was just a passing glimpse, which aroused a little bit of disgust.
But now that things have reversed, many people feel much more guilty for misunderstanding and participating in cyberbullying.
This embarrassment actually added more money to Chu Ling's small treasury.
Chu Ling was naturally not afraid of anyone who came.
"I think everything has been clarified. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Hmm? Did you arrange for Sheng Yi to speak out just now..."
After reading this comment, Chu Ling was slightly stunned.
She was busy comparing the pictures of people eating melons that netizens had made for her, digging out some materials that could support her, and wondering from which direction netizens were attacking her.
I only vaguely know that Sheng Yi seemed to have spoken for her, and they both became trending topics, but I don't know what he said specifically.
Looking back now, it seems that this was not an easy thing to say.
Chu Ling suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart, and said, "Who am I to him in your eyes? How can I even command him? If I had such extraordinary abilities, I would have had everyone in the entertainment industry who knew me speak up for me long ago."
She glanced at the clock. "It's getting late. Even if you have any questions, wait until later, okay?"
The live broadcast time of the program team is approaching.
After Chu Ling signaled to turn off the camera, he stood up from the sofa, walked into the bathroom, and then splashed himself with cold water several times.
Although I felt great just now, now that I have recovered, fatigue is creeping up on me.
Having just survived an earthquake in which the entire network was blackened, even though Chu Ling always claimed to have a big heart and had experienced a lot of ugly insults, he would still feel a little uncomfortable after seeing too much.
Her response may not be clever or useful.
But it is indeed the best way for her to express herself.
Otherwise she would suffocate to death.
Chu Ling wiped his face with a towel and then took out his cell phone.
Her phone has been vibrating non-stop since the beginning, with countless calls and text messages bombarding her trying to reach her.
Chu Ling first answered a call from his agent.
"Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile and not respond yet?"
Her agent, Sister Xu, was clearly unhappy with her actions. "You're too impulsive! Do you know how many people this will offend?"
Chu Ling not only brought up the fact that a female actress had breached a contract and ran away, he even mentioned that the director and investors who had dined with her had forced her to drink. If netizens dug these people out, it would be no joke.
“I think I’m pretty low-key.”
Chu Ling said lightly, "I didn't even mention their names."
Agent Xu: “?”
What, you still want Khan to recruit soldiers in this show, right?
Then forget about broadcasting this show anymore!
"What else can we do?"
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Block me?"
She laughed and said, "At worst, I'll just quit. These past two years have been pretty much like quitting the industry anyway."
Since I have no job anyway, I might as well choose a more comfortable lifestyle.
Agent Sister Xu's tone relaxed and said, "...Don't say such angry words."
Chu Ling smiled: "You know I'm telling the truth."
Agent Xu said, "It's been so hard to get to this point. Your popularity and fame have returned. Why would you say you're going to quit?"
Even if Chu Ling wants to quit now, the company will not agree.
Originally, I thought that black and red are also red - but Chu Ling has obviously walked a different path from ordinary people. There are people who love her, some hate her, and some who love and hate her.
She paused, then changed the subject and asked Chu Ling, "And that lawyer's letter... You didn't just decide to sue me on your own. This was originally handled by the company."
Chu Ling was astonished, as if he had heard something out of the blue. "Will the company sue for me? I don't remember it ever happening."
Her agent, Sister Xu, hesitated for a moment and told her, "...Companies generally don't do things like suing amateurs because it's a thankless task and it's easy for netizens to criticize you for bullying an amateur."
"The person opposite is not an amateur."
Chu Ling scoffed and said, "How can an ordinary person make a melon-eating thread in the middle of the night and then have it trend on the black search within ten minutes? Isn't this linkage speed too fast?"
"Whether they are professional trolls or online trolls, they are definitely not just ordinary spectators."
"I want to sue him because I want to know from him who the other party belongs to."
She paused and said, "Because I already have an answer in my heart."
She has offended many people, but this is just one of them.
It just so happens that this person is in the entertainment industry, which really makes people suspicious.
…
After Chu Ling washed his face and walked out of the bathroom, he was slightly startled by Sheng Yi who was leaning against the wall outside.
"You're here."
Chu Ling tilted his head and asked, "Are you still asleep?"
"Do you think I can sleep?"
Sheng Yi flipped through his phone without looking up and said, "This day has been quite exciting. But everything should be fine now. I just checked, and your clarification was quite effective. There's even a new trending topic called #oweChu Ling an apology#. I don't know if your company or the program crew bought it."
"It's probably bought by the production team."
Chu Ling chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "My company doesn't have the spare money to spend on me."
After all, we haven't seen them do anything in three years.
Chu Ling looked at Sheng Yi: "By the way, you——"
Sheng Yi thought she wanted to thank him for helping him speak up, and just as he was about to wave her hand and say it was just a small favor, he heard her say, "Are you stupid?"
Sheng Yi: “?”
"Do you understand me enough to speak for me?"
Chu Ling raised his chin slightly to look at him and said, "Ordinary people would just say 'let the bullets fly for a while', but you just said you believe me. Aren't you really afraid that the information is real?"
Sheng Yi paused for a moment before saying, "...Did you see it?"
Chu Ling: "Hmm."
I'm not free during the day.
I just took a make-up class while I was in the bathroom.
No wonder it became a hot topic. Sheng Yi’s scolding of netizens was no better than hers.
At that time, some netizens said that this bully CP group not only "bullied" the guests of the show, but also "bullied" netizens and passers-by.
Chu Ling thought to himself, it was not unfair to them.
Chu Ling asked him, "Have you ever thought about what if I'm really like those rumors say, a vain female celebrity who relies on men to get ahead and likes to act like a big shot?"
Sheng Yi looked into her eyes and said, "You won't."
"I've seen the media's ability to distort truth, so even just looking at the so-called collection of melon-eating photos tells me it's all fabricated, unfounded textual material, without a shred of evidence."
Before he met Chu Ling, he had heard rumors about Chu Ling, and at that time he thought most of them were fabricated.
His bad personality was probably true, but the rumors of him being kept—as Chu Ling had said, if he was really kept, would he still be doing so badly? All the negative information had long been cleared up by public relations.
Later, when I really got to know her, I found that even her bad personality was a matter of personal opinion.
To use a metaphor from a netizen, Chu Ling's personality is like chocolate. It's fine for people to eat it, but it will kill a dog if it eats it.
"and……"
He crossed his arms, suddenly laughed, and said, "With your temper, how could you possibly tolerate unspoken rules?"
Later, when I heard Chu Ling say that he had directly poured wine back during the meal, I felt that it was right all of a sudden.
That's what she would do.
This is also the reason why many people hate her.
But this was exactly what he liked most about her.
"I mean, just in case."
Chu Ling said, "There are no absolutes in this world. What if you're just so blind that you trust the wrong person? What if I'm the kind of bad person who's blinded by profit and sold my soul? Have you considered the consequences?"
Sheng Yi said, “That doesn’t matter.
He likes someone, but doesn't require her to be perfect.
He just wanted to protect her.
"If it's really true, then you should also need some time for public relations."
Sheng Yi thought for a moment and said, "If I speak up for you, I should be able to share some of the firepower and buy you some time. That's also a contribution to you, right?"
