Chapter 284 Xiu Yan Can't Make It Anymore, His Will [3 Updates]
"What's wrong with Weibo?" Xiu Yan casually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Is it my haters again?"
"Let them make a fuss for a while; it's been going on for more than just a day or two."
Even Xie Manyu and Shang Yaozhi have their haters.
She entered the entertainment industry as the eldest daughter of the Xiu family, which already drew a lot of criticism and attracted many haters.
But most of the time, it's just sour grapes, and she doesn't mind at all.
"Are the haters causing trouble?" Upon hearing this, Brother Chen was so angry that he laughed. "Miss Xiu, if the company's public relations department hadn't been prepared in time, not to mention haters, even ordinary people would have come after you!"
Xiu Yan's smile faded: "What happened?"
She didn't pay much attention to her casual viewership.
After all, she started out as an idol and relied on fans' votes and support.
Passersby might say she's pretty, but they won't spend money on her.
However, her popularity with casual viewers did suffer a minor setback once, when she was kicked out of the training camp.
She originally had no intention of doing anything to Ying Zijing.
A country bumpkin with no background who was expelled from the Ying family, she posed no threat to her whatsoever, and her name wasn't even worthy of being mentioned alongside hers.
Xiu Yu is the one she truly needs to be wary of.
But she couldn't swallow the humiliation she suffered because of Ying Zijin, and she was determined to get revenge.
Although Xiu Yan has only been in the entertainment industry for a little over a year, she understands the ways of the entertainment industry very well.
Even white can be portrayed as black, and even if it's clarified in the end, there will still be flaws.
"You asked your big-name fans to post this Weibo, right?" Brother Chen threw his phone at her. "You didn't even get the facts straight before posting an edited video. What are you trying to do?"
Xiu Yan knew what it was about after hearing just the beginning.
She frowned, took the phone, and glanced at it.
It's a screenshot, and the person who took the screenshot even circled the nickname of the person who posted the Weibo post in red pen.
Such a nickname would only belong to fans of face-shaping products.
After scrolling up the edited image, the full content of this Weibo post was revealed.
[@圈内八哥V: Let me show you how ridiculous the fans of this certain rich heiress are. The official statement said they've done something right, so why are these fans still using the excuse of feeling sorry for her to attack a real academic genius?]
Below are two more screenshots.
One is the Weibo post from the Youth Little Newspaper.
The other one is a screenshot of the trending topics list.
No.9 #Ying Zijin, eliminating evil and protecting the innocent#
No. 17 #Ying Zijin, beat someone so badly they ended up in the hospital#
The two trending topics, when put together, are like a slap in the face to Xiu Yan.
In particular, the comments from netizens below.
[This is hilarious! Are fans' IQs negative these days?]
[Intentionally smearing Ying Shen is one thing, but couldn't you at least do it before the truth comes out? Do you know that after reading the Youth Daily's Weibo post, and then looking at you fans, you all seem like a joke?]
[Excuse me, besides her family background, what else does Xiu Yan, this heiress, have that can compare to Ying Shen? Looks? Not at all.]
Xiu Yan's gaze changed instantly.
Seeing her expression, Brother Chen knew she had finished reading and shook his head repeatedly: "Do you know that you almost couldn't make it in the entertainment industry?"
"How could the clarification be so quick?" Xiu Yan didn't dare to look anymore. She tried her best to calm her slightly trembling voice. "It's only been an hour!"
Even the best public relations team couldn't act this quickly.
How did Ying Zijing, an ordinary person who knows nothing about the entertainment industry, manage to do this?
"You really think this is a clarification?" Brother Chen sighed. "Do you know what? Your fans posted the video less than twenty minutes ago, and it was all deleted. You didn't even manage to generate any public opinion."
"Most netizens didn't see her being criticized, they only saw her being praised. You don't actually think your methods were successful, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiu Yan's expression finally shattered: "That's impossible!"
"Whether it's possible or not, it's already happened." Brother Chen closed his laptop. "Don't underestimate ordinary people. Nowadays, netizens prefer ordinary people who have talent but keep a low profile."
He added, "Stay away from Ying Zijin in the future, or you won't even know how you messed up."
Xiu Yan pursed her lips: "Then what impact will this have on me..."
"The company promptly had the anti-black wall blacklist your fans," Brother Chen said. "They said they were trolls sent by the rivals, but your casual fans still suffered some damage, so you must recover your reputation as soon as possible."
Xiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again: "Filming for 'Youth 202' will start during the winter break. I'll do some charity work then."
Brother Chen didn't say anything, he just nodded.
Xiu Yan pinched her palm, but she couldn't calm down.
But she finally realized that Ying Zijing was no ordinary person; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to detect and retaliate so quickly.
It seems that the only way for her to deal with Xiu Yu is to target Xiu Yu himself.
Xiu Yan lowered her eyelashes, concealing the emotions in her eyes.
**
The events on the internet had absolutely no impact on Ying Zijing.
After resting for more than ten days, she finally began to enjoy the retirement life she had always wanted.
The fifth family members living in the ancestral home do not go out to buy vegetables or sell meat. They keep cattle and horses in the courtyard and grow a lot of vegetables.
Feng shui is good for people, and Ying Zijing felt that her skin had improved a lot recently.
But this kind of retirement life came to an end soon.
After the medicinal power of the Lingbao ginseng was fully absorbed by her body, her physical essence was also well restored, which meant that she should return to Shanghai.
Although she still video chats with Wen Fengmian and Grandpa Zhong every day after leaving Shanghai for so long, the two of them are still quite worried about her.
Moreover, the young newspaper actually sent them a banner.
The banner was delivered to the Wen family, and Grandpa Zhong happened to be there. He was so happy that he held the banner and looked at it for a long time.
“If Uncle Zhong likes it, then take it back,” Wen Fengmian smiled. “It’s too small here to store it properly.”
"Alright, alright." Old Master Zhong didn't refuse. "I'll hang it in my study so I can see it every day."
He wanted the whole world to know that his granddaughter was truly remarkable and capable of acting bravely and righteously.
Thinking of this, Grandpa Zhong still felt uneasy and sent Ying Zijing another WeChat message.
[Zijin, if you encounter something like this in the future, as a girl, it's better to run away.]
A reply came quickly from the other side.
Grandpa, don't worry. If something like this happens again, I'll definitely go easy on you.
Grandpa Zhong: "..."
Miscalculation, miscalculation.
He almost forgot that his granddaughter could easily take on ten men.
He should be worried about being beaten.
After putting away the banner, Grandpa Zhong left the Wen family and then went to the Fu family to show it off to Grandpa Fu.
Grandpa Fu lay on the rocking chair with his eyes half-closed, nodding repeatedly as he listened.
That's good, the granddaughter-in-law he's taken a liking to is quite skilled, she'll be able to keep his little seventh son in check in the future.
His judgment was indeed excellent this time.
Of course, Grandpa Fu didn't voice this idea.
"Old Fu, have you been feeling unwell lately?" Old Master Zhong looked at his face with suspicion. "The last time you played chess with me, you fell asleep halfway through the game."
"That's how it is when you get old. Nobody wants to go to the hospital, and there's nothing to do anyway." Old Master Fu didn't seem to care much. "I'm not like you, where your roar is stronger even at your age."
"Pah!" Old Master Zhong roared. "If I had the power of a lion's roar, would you have dared to steal my snacks back then?"
Unusually, this time Old Master Fu didn't argue with him. Instead, he smiled and said, "I quite miss the old days."
"Here, I'll be generous today. These are tea bags my granddaughter gave me." Grandpa Zhong frowned and took a bag out of his pocket. "They're good for your health. You can brew some every day and drink it, and then practice Tai Chi with me in the morning."
Grandpa Fu glanced at it and took it.
He was too embarrassed to say that he also had this tea bag.
If he says it out loud, Grandpa Zhong will chase after him and beat him up.
"Alright, I'll show you off a bit." Old Master Zhong rolled up the banner. "If you're sleepy, go to sleep. I'm going home now."
Grandpa Fu nodded and lay back down in the rocking chair.
As Grandpa Zhong opened the door to go out, he bumped into Fu Mingcheng, who was about to come in.
He left without even glancing at Fu Mingcheng.
Fu Mingcheng went in and had just opened his mouth to call out "Dad" when he saw that Old Master Fu had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
He had no choice but to swallow the rest of his words, leave the bedroom, and close the door.
After Fu Mingcheng left the room, he thought that the sleeping old man Fu had opened his eyes again and was not sleepy at all.
Grandpa Fu lay quietly in the rocking chair for a while before slowly getting up and walking to his desk.
He opened the drawer and took out a will that he had just revised that morning.
I'm freezing in the cold wind today, I'm practically a fool...
Thank you everyone for your monthly tickets and tips!
