Chapter 19 Chen Jiayan: Xiaoning, how could you do such a thing?
Although he didn't say it directly, Gu Nansheng's meaning was very clear, that is, the Internet army that took the lead in slandering the Gu siblings in the live broadcast room was hired by the Chen siblings.
【Fuck, what a big melon! 】
[Sister Gu is truly amazing, a strong person with no scruples, and she ended up fighting right there.]
So, those trolls were hired by the Chen siblings? Can you tell me? I've been annoyed by them for a long time. They're really green tea lovers.
[Wait, do you believe everything Gu Nansheng says? Where's the evidence?]
Some people are so servile and licking the boots of the rich that they have no bottom line, even before they see any evidence.
Ning and Chen Jiayan fans are hilarious. They brag about wealthy siblings and wealthy socialites all the time, but now they're scolding others for licking the rich. Aren't you the ones licking the rich the most?
A hint of panic crossed Chen Jiayan's usually calm face. How could this happen? She was so careful not to get involved, so why would Gu Nansheng suspect her and investigate her?
But she quickly calmed down. How could Gu Nansheng have obtained evidence in such a short time? Maybe she was just trying to trick her.
She smoothed her hair and put on an innocent look, saying, "Miss Gu, I don't quite understand what you mean. How can I possibly control what people post in the livestream? Miss Gu, is there a misunderstanding between us?"
Seeing Chen Jiayan like this, fans in the live broadcast room felt distressed again.
[Ahhh, Jiayan is so pitiful and innocent.]
"I believe Jiayan. She's not that kind of person. She's usually very enthusiastic about charity. How could she possibly frame someone?"
[Gu Nansheng, don't be so arrogant. I know you're upset about being framed, but please don't take it out on Jiayan, okay?]
Seeing this, Gu Nansheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the heroine really had a good mentality. She was still pretending to be innocent at this time. It seemed that she would not cry until she saw the coffin.
Then she took out her cell phone, opened a folder, and pulled out a few pictures to point at the camera.
Soon, the camera showed large transfer records between Chen Taining's studio and the water army company, as well as various statements from different accounts with the same IP address under the water army company.
Gu Nansheng asked with a smile, "Ms. Chen, this huge sum of money couldn't be transferred to the water army company as a charity, right?"
Chen Jiayan's face suddenly turned pale. She actually got those things in such a short time!
Wasn't this troll army company known as the best and most secretive in the industry? And yet, Gu Nansheng had exposed it so quickly.
However, what she didn't know was that the technology of this water army company was indeed quite good in the entertainment industry, but for Gu Nansheng, who had the support of the Huo family and the Security Bureau, it would only take a few minutes to expose it.
Chen Jiayan was completely panicked at this moment. What should she do now? If she continued to let it go, her image would be completely ruined!
Suddenly she saw the six words "Chen Taining Studio" and an idea came to her mind.
Her expression changed in an instant, and she looked at Chen Taining in disbelief. "Xiao Ning, how could you do such a thing? Haven't I always told you that no matter what happens, we must believe in our hearts and be kind?"
[? Chen Jiayan means this was done by her brother?]
[If Chen Taining did what he did, it would be normal. After all, he is a celebrity, and there is a conflict of interest between him and Gu Beiming. Such tactics should be commonplace for celebrities.]
[It seems Chen Taining's usual warm and cheerful demeanor is all fake. He actually has such a vicious mind.]
I have reason to suspect this isn't the first time Chen Taining has smeared Xiaoming. He might have been behind all of Xiaoming's previous disorganized marketing.
[Xiao Ning is not that kind of person, please don't slander him!]
[Ning fans are poisonous, right? This is what Chen Taining's sister said.]
Chen Taining didn't expect that his sister would attack him and put all the blame on him.
Although he did hire a group of trolls to frame Gu Beiming, he didn't do it alone.
He had been spoiled since he was a child, so naturally he couldn't stand this and wanted to retort loudly. However, before he could say anything, Chen Jiayan walked up to him.
Chen Jiayan turned her back to the camera but faced him, and lip-read to him, "Do you remember what you asked me to keep a secret for you?"
Chen Taining immediately became timid. He had been a reckless troublemaker since he was a child. Thanks to Chen Jiayan who had always helped him deal with various things, nothing serious happened and he maintained the image of a good boy in front of his parents.
Chen Jiayan looked at her brother, who was as quiet as a quail, with satisfaction. Then she turned to look at Gu Nansheng, "I'm sorry, Miss Gu. I didn't control my brother well. He was young and impulsive and went astray. I apologize on his behalf, but he is still a child after all. I hope you and your brother can forgive him."
After saying this, she lowered her head with a very guilty look.
[Jiayan really made me cry. She is such a good sister and even apologized on behalf of her brother.]
Xiao Ning is lucky to have such a sister.
Xiao Ning never admitted it. What makes you say Xiao Ning did it? This is just Chen Jiayan's opinion. She's simply trying to shift the blame.
[But Chen Taining didn't deny it. If he hadn't done it, why would he remain silent? He's obviously scared after the car accident and doesn't dare to speak at all.]
Seeing what Chen Jiayan did, Gu Nansheng was really shocked. She didn't expect that Chen Jiayan could actually put the blame on her brother.
Didn't the original novel describe the two siblings as having a deep bond, even willing to sacrifice everything for each other? Why are they now blaming each other?
Of course, she also had to admit that Chen Jiayan's move was smart.
The funds of the Youyou Water Army Company were transferred from the account of Chen Taining's studio, and they are closely related to Chen Taining. Rather than ruining the reputation of both siblings, it is better to abandon the car to save the driver.
But she looked at the boy standing silently behind Chen Jiayan. His face was full of gloom, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and hatred. Chen Jiayan was afraid that she didn't really have a grip on this brother. She would wait until the interests that bound them together could no longer overcome their differences. That would be the start of something interesting.
She smiled and didn't pursue the matter any further. After all, the information about the black army couldn't really bring down the siblings. It was already great that it could contribute to the breakdown of this fake sibling relationship.
*
In the end, this farce ended with Chen Jiayan's apology, and at the same time, the recording of the first episode of the variety show also came to an end.
Because transportation to Zhoudao is not that convenient, most of the guests chose to leave early tomorrow morning.
Most of the guests chose to continue living in their previous houses, except for Song Shuyi and her son. They quickly returned to their dilapidated house, packed their luggage and came to the seaside villa to ask Gu Nansheng and others to "adopt" them.
After spending some time together, Gu Nansheng really liked this movie queen who had a high status but was not at all pretentious. In addition, there were still many empty rooms in the villa, so she naturally agreed.
By the time he had packed his luggage and taken a shower, it was already eleven o'clock. Gu Nansheng lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep.
She opened her phone and began to flip through it casually, but when she saw the familiar name in the address book, her fingers stopped abruptly.
She wanted to quit immediately, but she couldn't bear to do so.
About five minutes later, as if she had made up her mind, she finally dialed the number.
The phone rang two or three times before it was picked up. A man's deep, magnetic voice came from the phone, "Nan Sheng, you finally called me."
Gu Nansheng pursed her lips, feeling rather guilty.
She seemed really unkind. She hadn't contacted him for several days since she left the base, and even when she asked for his help, she just sent him a message.
She smiled awkwardly, "Huo Sinian, Senior Huo, President Huo, I know you're busy with work, so I don't dare to disturb you easily."
A man chuckled from the other end of the line. "So you only sent me a message when you asked me to help you? Nan Sheng, remember five years ago when I told you I'd always have time for you? Or has it been just five years and you've become a stranger to me?"
Huo Sinian was her senior at T University five years ago, two years older than her. Both of them were geniuses who were admitted to the junior class at a young age.
To some extent, they can be said to have known each other through fighting. Before she entered T University, Huo Sinian was the most talented student in the school. However, after she appeared, Huo Sinian became the eternal runner-up.
Although she and Huo Sinian were not in the same grade, her extraordinary learning ability allowed her to skip grades quickly and start studying the same courses as Huo Sinian.
After this, Huo Sinian, who was always number one like a favored child, experienced for the first time the feeling of being suppressed by others. Even though he spent all day in the library and laboratory, he always came in second in every exam.
Huo Sinian had been discouraged in the past and was very dissatisfied with Gu Nansheng. He didn't understand why the little girl who still took the time to dress herself up every day could always surpass him.
Until they graduated from graduate school at the same time, became Chen Yun's doctoral students together, and began to do experiments in the same laboratory.
The two of them gradually spent more time together, and Huo Sinian gradually changed his opinion of Gu Nansheng.
He knew that although she loved beauty and coquettishness, she worked harder than him when doing experiments and could even stay in the laboratory for a month.
Huo Sinian gradually accepted the gap between him and Gu Nansheng. Isn't it normal for a girl who is smarter than him and works harder than him to surpass him?
With Huo Sinian's active show of goodwill, the relationship between the two quickly heated up, and they cooperated seamlessly in the laboratory, becoming the mentor's right-hand man.
Huo Sinian even asked the Huo family to buy several of Gu Nansheng's inventions. Of course, this was a mutually beneficial deal. It not only brought huge profits to Gu Nansheng, but also allowed the Huo family to grow stronger.
It was not until Gu Nansheng was 20 years old and Gu Beiming was 22 years old that their mentor Chen Yun received a secret mission from the country and asked them if they were willing to go to the secret base to conduct research and contribute to the country.
For those who are dedicated to pursuing science, this is naturally a rare opportunity, not to mention that it is a contribution to the country, so they are naturally willing to do it.
However, Huo Sinian's father was seriously ill at that time, and Huo Sinian was the only son, so he had to return home to inherit the family business.
After persuading Gu Beiming, Gu Nansheng followed his mentor into the research base located in the vast desert.
On the day they parted, Huo Sinian hesitated to speak, the emotions hidden in his heart seemed to be about to burst out, but in the end he said nothing, only whispered in her ear, "No matter when, as long as you need me, just come to me, I will always support you."
And this separation lasted for five years.
Although Gu Nansheng was a little slow in emotions, he was not a fool. After thinking about it, he was able to guess the reason why Huo Sinian was hesitant to speak and the words he didn't say.
Now, five years have passed, and Gu Nansheng is still unsure of Huo Sinian's current feelings towards her, nor can she figure out whether she has some other feelings for Huo Sinian.
If Huo Sinian still has the same feelings for her as before, and she doesn't have any extra feelings for him, would it only add to her troubles if she continued to provoke him?
So because of this dilemma, she delayed contacting Huo Sinian until now.
If Huo Sinian hadn't needed her to issue a statement, she might have continued to drag it out.
When questioned by Huo Sinian, Gu Nansheng immediately denied it.
"Of course not."
Then she lowered her voice and said flatteringly, "I just had too many things to do after leaving the base. I had to help my brother with some problems, so I forgot to contact you. But you see, I'm almost done now, so I came to see you when I had a little break."
Having been with Gu Nansheng for so long, how could Huo Sinian not realize that this was just an excuse she made?
But now is not the time to be serious, and he has enough patience this time. Five years ago, he was not prepared so he could not say what he wanted to say.
But now he has established himself and no one can stop him.
So he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay, it seems that I still have a certain status in your heart, second only to your biological brother Gu Beiming. I am honored."
Hearing the man start joking, Gu Nansheng felt relieved. He must have been fooled, right?
She also smiled and said, "That's not second only to Xiao Ming. After all, we still have a mentor. Do you want to compete with Professor Chen in status?"
Huo Sinian couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was indeed Gu Nansheng. He really didn't let him take advantage of anything.
"Then I really don't dare to compete with Professor Chen. What if he doesn't recognize me as his student? You know his temper."
These words seemed to suddenly awaken the two people's memories of their college days, and they both laughed out loud at the same time.
After this round of joking, the unfamiliarity between the two finally disappeared, as if they had returned to the relaxed days in college.
The two chatted for a while, talking about interesting things in college and what they had experienced in the past five years.
It was not until almost dawn that Gu Nansheng realized that they had been chatting for an hour, which was already beyond her usual sleeping time.
I didn't expect that the time chatting with him would pass so quickly and be so...pleasant.
This discovery made Gu Nansheng a little panicked. She hurriedly said, "It's already twelve o'clock. I'm so sleepy. I'm going to bed. You should go to bed early too. Good night~"
Huo Sinian didn't force her to continue chatting. He said softly and with a magnetic voice, "Then hang up. Good night~"
Gu Nansheng hung up the phone and lay back on the bed, but he was even more excited and couldn't fall asleep.
This man is really good!
She felt a little disappointed, and didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for her to provoke Huo Sinian like this. What if she finally found out that her feelings for him were not what he wanted?
But she couldn't really stop contacting Huo Sinian. If she really avoided Huo Sinian on purpose, Huo Sinian would be sad.
Gu Nansheng's usually smart brain crashed for the first time. Finally, she gave up and thought, forget it, just let it be, she couldn't control it anyway.
*
At the same time, Huo Sinian, who was sitting in the study, listened to the beeping sound beside his ear and looked at the off screen, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
He has been devoted to his work in recent years, and he is not interested in entertainment gossip, so he has no idea that the person he has been thinking about has returned from the research base and participated in a variety show.
He was in a meeting at the company at the time, and when he received the message alert, he thought it was just a normal spam message. However, when he saw the sender's name, he almost spilled the coffee in his hand.
He immediately asked his assistant to suspend the meeting. After reading the content of the message, he immediately started to deal with the matters instructed by Gu Nansheng.
After doing all this, he turned on the live broadcast of a variety reality show that he had never seen before and started watching it.
When he saw so many netizens attacking and spreading rumors about Gu Nansheng in the live broadcast room, he wished the Ministry of Justice would sue them one by one.
However, he still retained his rationality and knew that he could not rely solely on force to deal with public opinion on the Internet. Moreover, when he saw Nan Sheng's confident look, he knew that she had already planned everything.
Nan Sheng has never liked others to interfere in her affairs, and she doesn't accept others arranging her things for her, so he just does what she tells him to do.
He asked the public relations department to issue a statement at the appropriate time, and asked the technical team to monitor all movements in the live broadcast room at all times. Finally, he sent the collected information about the water army to Gu Nansheng before the live broadcast.
Watching Gu Nansheng questioning others with great enthusiasm on the show, he found it cute no matter how he looked at it.
Moreover, he was the one who provided her with the information, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, as if he and Gu Nansheng were questioning each other together.
After the live broadcast ended, he kept looking at his phone, waiting for the call that he was not sure would come.
Fortunately, he finally waited.
It seems that Gu Nansheng is not completely indifferent to him. This is enough, and he can take it slowly.
*
The next morning, the guests left Zhou Island one by one, and Gu Nansheng took Gu Beiming back to S City.
As soon as they got off the plane, Zhou Yu warmly welcomed them.
Although there were many unexpected events during the recording, the result was very good.
Not to mention Gu Nansheng, she is now on track to become the national sister.
Gu Beiming also gained a lot of fans under the guidance of his sister. His sister-con look in front of his sister made many girls call him cute.
Coupled with Chen Taining's downfall, many people on the Internet began to suspect that Gu Beiming was framed by the jealous Chen Taining because he was criticized so badly before, and began to dig up the previous news about Gu Beiming.
After some research, they actually found the strangeness of Gu Beiming's so-called "scandal". It was obviously not what he meant at the beginning, but as it was passed around, it seemed as if it was deliberately misinterpreted and changed, and then widely spread to deepen the impression.
Take the example of Gu Beiming's "dropping out of school". When the reporter first interviewed the school teacher, the teacher only said that Gu Beiming did not come to school often, but would ask the teacher to teach him himself.
However, the rumor spread that Gu Beiming not only frequently skipped classes and had poor grades, but also had dropped out of school and had no plans to take the college entrance examination to go to university.
After these were revealed, many people began to feel that Gu Beiming was being slandered too much.
[Woo woo woo, our Xiao Ming finally has a day to clear his name.]
[I've already said that our Xiao Ming has a sharp tongue, but he actually has a very positive outlook and a kind heart.]
If Xiao Ming wasn't a good person, why would he have donated money to the orphanage for so many years?
[Just a casual observer, I've also felt that Gu Beiming has been badly criticized lately. What's the story behind Gu Beiming donating money to the orphanage?]
Although the video of Gu Beiming at the orphanage charity event was not deliberately concealed, it was basically circulated in Gu Beiming's fan circle due to the deliberate suppression and flow control by some people.
Seeing passersby asking questions, Ming fans quickly found the video.
The Gu siblings are very popular these days, and many entertainment marketing accounts are willing to take advantage of Gu Beiming's popularity. So this video from a few days ago suddenly became popular, with over 100,000 reposts and topping the Weibo hot search list.
[Oh my god, Gu Beiming is only 17 years old, but he has been donating money to the orphanage for more than ten years.]
He should have donated with his sister. These two siblings are really nice.
[Also, that hater in the video is hilarious. He actually questioned whether Gu Beiming was qualified to do charity work. Is there a threshold to doing charity work?]
[Why do I feel like that hater doesn't seem like a simple hater? Young idols like Gu Beiming are usually followed by young women, so why would a middle-aged man appear?]
[Oh my god, I actually know that person. He's just a middle-aged street urchin with nothing to do. He barely even knows a few celebrities in the entertainment industry. How could he show up at Gu Beiming's event?]
[It's obvious that he was hired to cause trouble.]
Once this video was released, it not only proved that Gu Beiming was enthusiastic about charity, but also confirmed that there were indeed people who deliberately slandered Gu Beiming, so more people began to change their views on Gu Beiming.
Of course, because of Gu Beiming's overly flamboyant personality, there are still many people who hate Gu Beiming, but the current situation is already very good.
Zhou Yu felt very happy when he thought that it was because of him that Gu Beiming appeared on the variety show that the current changes happened. He is really a little genius!
Although he has seen Gu Beiming following his sister many times and being extremely well-behaved, every time Zhou Yu sees him, he can't help but sigh in his heart that it would be great if Gu Beiming could treat him like this.
He shook his head and shook off this unrealistic fantasy.
Then he hurried forward and said respectfully to Gu Nansheng, "Sister Gu, you're back. Where do you want to stay? Or why don't you come with us to the company apartment? Although the house is not too big, it has everything and the location is good."
Zhou Yu has deeply realized that in order to get Gu Beiming's favor, he must first please Gu Nansheng. Moreover, after seeing Gu Nansheng's amazing performance in the show, he also respects him very much.
Gu Nansheng glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your arrangement, but I already have a place to live."
Zhou Yu thought that Gu Nansheng was a wealthy woman, so it was not surprising that she had a place to live. He immediately said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll take you there."
This time, Gu Nansheng didn't refuse. He nodded and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Yu originally thought that a wealthy woman like Gu Nansheng would live in a high-end apartment or villa, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the place, he saw an old community that looked seven or eight years old.
Although the geographical location of the community is quite good and the community is full of multi-story houses with a low density, it is completely different from the luxury houses Zhou Yu imagined.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Gu, you live here? You're really low-key~"
Gu Nansheng had no idea what he was thinking. He simply felt that the neighborhood was too ordinary and didn't seem like where she lived.
But if he looked carefully, he would find that the security guards in the community were all nimble and skilled fighters, and there were even some retired special forces soldiers among them.
