Chapter 67 made a big splash.
In fact, Xia Mian didn't want to be ruthless towards the girl. Besides, Zhu Ziqi was also a fictional character who did those brainless things according to the plot. If he were to leave his life, he would be willing to let it go.
But this woman is like a demon to him. The trouble she causes is a small matter, but what's really annoying is that she always comes out to spoil his mood when he's happy.
Zhao Wei didn't know what he wanted the online army for, and was afraid that he would mess things up and cause trouble, so he gave him a few warnings before sending him the contact's WeChat.
"Don't worry, brother, I know what I'm doing," Xia Mian assured him, patting her chest.
Zhao Wei felt that he didn't seem very reliable.
On the same day that the official announcement and pre-release promotion for "Our Little Life" was launched, an advertisement for Yongying Luggage also went online.
Yongying was short of funds and couldn't afford advertising space on major TV stations, so it only advertised during prime time on local TV stations in Tongshan.
The official flagship store on Taobao was quite generous, replacing all the ads with promotional videos and photos of Xia Mian carrying a suitcase.
As a result, fans were bombarded with images of Xia Mian with her hair styled like an adult and wearing a Goldlion suit.
Fans and some casual observers burst into laughter:
What kind of ridiculous advertisement is this, trying to recreate an ancient style in a rural area?
[Ahhhh, Mian looks incredibly handsome even dressed like this! I can even detect a hint of suave scoundrel in him, can you believe it?]
[Three parts old-fashioned, three parts funny, four parts hard to look at]
[The comments from the ladies upstairs are hilarious! But if I remember correctly, Mianmian should have taken this suitcase out of the country before, at the beginning of "Infinite".]
[A box for 350?]
[Holy crap, I went back and did some research, and it really is Yongying! I really admire Mianmian. He was ridiculed for his suitcase back then, and now he's actually endorsing this brand. His mental fortitude is amazing!]
【Yongying is a local brand that was very popular a few years ago, but it probably missed the trend and gradually declined. However, the quality of its products is excellent. The factory employs uncles and aunts who are unable to go out to work or who have been laid off. My husband and I have had our suitcases with us through the Spring Festival travel rush for seven years, and they are still intact.】

If Mianmian dares to endorse it, then we dare to buy it; that way, we won't let her courage down.
[Buy, buy, buy! I'm going on a trip soon, so I'm buying things now...]
After several ups and downs, being framed, overturned, framed again, and overturned again, those who remain are the most loyal fans.
Having just seen the official announcement of "Little Days," these fans are currently in an active phase, and the moment the exclusive link went live, it immediately generated a surge in purchasing power.
Not a lot, but definitely not a small amount either; it's equivalent to half a year's sales.
Listening to the intelligence from the front lines, Sun Guodong exclaimed that hiring a spokesperson was definitely worthwhile. The exclusive link will be up for a year, and this is just the beginning. Once Xia Mian gets more exposure this year and her popularity surges, it will surely drive a significant increase in sales!
But... it seems like this boy has run into trouble again.
That evening, as more and more netizens paid attention to the new variety show, the haters intensified their efforts, quickly reaching a peak.
Some people are calling on the production team to remove the scumbags who bullied the girls from the show, otherwise they will lead a boycott of "Our Little Life" and refuse to contribute to its market share.
This netizen's opinion received a lot of support, and everyone lined up below, looking like they were united against an enemy.
There have been instances in the past where audiences boycotted a particular celebrity, and the production team listened to their advice and kicked the celebrity out of the show; and this has happened more than once.
Their goal was to make Xia Mian infamous and keep her unemployed. And it seems they're close to achieving that.
Just when everyone thought that Xia Mian was going to be "removed," an "insider" released a video in the evening.
In the picture, a pure and beautiful girl and a boy are sitting one in front of the other in the first-class cabin of an airplane.
The flight attendant announced four dishes and gently asked the passenger which one he would like to eat. The male passenger felt that none of them suited his taste and asked if he could order something else. After the flight attendant explained, he said he understood and asked for a glass of milk.
The girl in the back seat smiled and asked for plain water.
That smile was so cute and healing that even the flight attendant, who was also a woman, couldn't resist and shyly asked her for an autograph.
She smiled and signed an autograph for the flight attendant, but as soon as the flight attendant left, her smile vanished, and she complained with a sullen face: "Nothing in China is any good, even the airplanes are so shabby."
The boy in front of him got annoyed and turned around to ask, "What country are you from?"
The video was likely recorded using professional sports equipment; the image resolution is extremely high, and the audio is clear and free of noise. It's like a large rock crashing onto a calm lake.
Zhu Ziqi's fans were stunned by the attack.
The moment the object was hit, netizens went wild:
[Oh, so this is the so-called high-IQ, high-contrast beauty—the contrast is actually here—this little girl has two faces in private! [Disdain] [Disdain]]
In my heart, insulting one's country is more serious than domestic violence, theft, or any other crime; it is my bottom line as a Chinese citizen.
There are no idols before the nation. You may be unfaithful, you may make mistakes, you may even commit crimes, but you must never insult my country!
[Xia Mian did a good job, though. I was misled by malicious editing and always thought he liked to show off his superiority. I didn't expect things to develop like this. I'm sorry, Xia Mian.]
Well done, summer hibernation!
As a devoted fan, I've been following Zhu Ziqi since her very first drama. For the past three years, I've run two fan sites, organizing fundraising, voting, and ranking campaigns for her—I've never slacked off. But today, I want to say goodbye. Goodbye, Zhu Ziqi, you crossed my line.
[Zhu Ziqi's Gemstone Fan Site Loses All Followers and Is Immediately Shutting Down]
[The entire Zhu Ziqi Malaysia fan club is unfollowing him and immediately shutting down the website.]
[The entire Zhu Ziqi Chasing the Light fan site has unfollowed us and become fans of Xia Mian. We will regroup and start afresh, so please look forward to it!]
The reason why a "bottom line" is a bottom line is because it cannot be crossed by anyone, even if that person is an idol you've been following for three years.
That night, Zhu Ziqi lost a large number of fans, his fan sites issued statements announcing their closure, and even the oldest fan clubs disbanded.
Only the official fan club controlled by the management company remains, and it hasn't taken any action.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Over the years, Zhu Ziqi has been using his connections to grab resources everywhere. Soon, a lot of information, whether true or false, flooded the internet.
Including the "brooch incident," which is said to have been entirely orchestrated by Zhu Ziqi to frame Xia Mian.
There's also Xia Mian's strange "two-copy" contract, which turned out to be something the production team specifically brought in to serve as a control group for Zhu Ziqi.
No wonder when Zhu Ziqi apologized to Xia Mian, Xia Mian said that Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be escaped.
That just proves him right!
Normally, the petty squabbles in the entertainment industry are only of interest to those who follow it. But once they escalate to the national level, it's not something that can be resolved by the entertainment circle alone; it becomes a responsibility shared by all Chinese citizens.
The more people talked about Zhu Ziqi, the wider the news spread, and for a time, their identities were reversed.
The image of the proud and arrogant woman has collapsed, while the show-off who loves to flaunt his superiority has actually gained a lot of attention and praise with his question, "What country are you from anyway?"
It also converted many of Zhu Ziqi's fans.
People, it's true that what you hear and see is often unreliable; you have to experience it slowly to find the truth.
