Things progressed unexpectedly smoothly; within half a day, Li Ang and Liu Liang had made contact and reached an agreement.
Wei Changfeng and He Xiaomei had also exchanged their "testimonies." They were told not to mention that they had been simmering bone broth for several hours. Instead, they were told that they had gone to visit the injured Wei Changfeng and discuss the New Year's gathering at the request of Du Shuang and Liu Liang.
Because they were old friends, they didn't pay much attention to the topic and were only thinking about getting together and catching up after the New Year. They neglected to consider that it was Valentine's Day and that men and women shouldn't be alone on that day, which could have caused misunderstandings and hurt fans.
"Xiao Mei, give it your best acting skills. If you get pressed by reporters, don't panic. Don't add any unnecessary details. Remember, the more you say, the more mistakes you make."
"Brother, my future is in your hands." Wei Changfeng said, half jokingly and half seriously.
He Xiaomei had been constantly refreshing the internet for the past two days, and she knew how much trouble her carelessness had caused Wei Changfeng.
She felt both guilty and heartbroken, and almost swore an oath to Wei Changfeng that she would never mess things up and cause him trouble again.
As planned, Du Shuang and He Xiaomei posted online simultaneously the next day to explain what happened on Valentine's Day.
Du Shuang also shared a text message asking He Xiaomei to visit the injured Wei Changfeng on everyone's behalf and to discuss a reunion after the New Year. The text message also included clear timeframes.
Zhao Hui exclaimed that the current Photoshop technology is so realistic that it can completely fool people. Even if netizens zoom in on the image, they still can't see any flaws.
Xiao Hao said that this is nothing. Those scammers who simulate original voices and the AI technology used by bored people online to swap faces with female celebrities are almost perfect.
Du Shuang, who rarely speaks online and focuses on shooting blockbusters, has always maintained a mysterious image in front of the public, which is completely different from Wei Changfeng's approachable approach of greeting fans and interacting with them from time to time.
However, precisely because of this, the internet exploded as soon as Du Shuang, who had been absent from online media for a long time, released a statement.
Soon, the names Du Shuang and He Xiaomei appeared on various trending search lists, especially Du Shuang.
People were surprised to learn that she and Wei Changfeng were friends when they were struggling in Beijing, because although they were both very famous, they had never interacted publicly and their career paths in the entertainment industry were completely different.
"Wow, my idol and my goddess have actually teamed up for a dream collaboration! When are you two going to make a movie together?"
"There are so many familiar faces in the entertainment industry!"
"Yes, who would have thought that the little-known He Xiaomei and Du Shuang are best friends, and then she has known Wei Changfeng for many years!"
"Who is He Xiaomei? I watch TV all the time and I've never heard of her."
"Qingyu Entertainment's newcomer, always playing supporting roles, it's normal that you haven't noticed him."
"Ah, now I know, it's her! No wonder she looked familiar, and she's quite pretty."
"Yes, yes! It's the kind of white flower that boys like, but it's nothing special."
He Xiaomei's information was repeatedly scrutinized by fans. Although she explained that she appeared at Wei Changfeng's house on Valentine's Day, her pure and innocent appearance still made some of Wei Changfeng's fans jealous. On one hand, they said that their brother would definitely not like her, while on the other hand, they were secretly worried.
No one doubted that the beautiful Du Shuang and the handsome Wei Changfeng had a relationship that went beyond friendship. The feeling of being a couple is a mysterious thing. Even though the two of them looked cool and handsome, there was just no ambiguous or hazy feeling between them.
Not long after, the other two boys in the group of five also spoke.
Liu Liang isn't well-known on Weibo, so he chooses to post on his WeChat Moments.
He first posted several photos of himself with Wei Changfeng and Du Shuang from back then, and then lamented that his unintentional act had caused a huge uproar in the entertainment industry! No one could have imagined that he was the "instigator" behind the scenes.
Liu Liang said he contacted Du Shuang first, asking her to inquire if Xiao Mei and Wei Changfeng had time to get together during the Spring Festival if everyone was in Beijing, as a way of visiting the injured Wei Changfeng.
Although this message wasn't posted directly on Weibo, given that he had added hundreds or even thousands of people on WeChat as an intermediary, it was quickly seen by countless people and then forwarded to various online platforms.
Not only were his colleagues shocked, but many potential clients who had bought or sold houses with him or had only been shown houses by him and added him on WeChat also sent messages to inquire.
Most people were exclaiming: "I never knew you were an actor before! You were even friends with those big stars! If you had stayed in the industry, you might be a famous star by now!"
Liu Liang's colleagues rarely heard him mention his past as a struggling artist in Beijing. Although he maintained contact with Wei Changfeng and Du Shuang, hoping to make connections with some wealthy celebrity clients to secure big deals, he didn't promote his network of contacts to others.
His concern was that if he kept boasting about how many celebrity friends he knew without closing a few big deals, he might be ridiculed by his colleagues.
Moreover, if a big deal is closed, people might think it's because his friend helped him, rather than because of his strong sales ability.
Sure enough, as soon as this matter was exposed today, a colleague came over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Our Brother Liang has amazing connections. He has so many wealthy friends. No wonder he was able to reach A9 (a high-level position in Lianjia) so quickly."
Li Ang has his own various internet accounts, and as a stage actor, he also has hundreds of thousands of followers on Weibo and Douyin.
He occasionally posts news and photos of plays, but rarely posts anything about his personal life.
This time, he also posted photos of the group from back then online, thus confirming what Du Shuang and He Xiaomei had said.
He also said that as a friend, he should have visited Wei Changfeng. However, Wei had some work to finish before the holiday, so he was delayed, and had been busy dealing with those matters after the holiday.
He felt very sorry that his momentary laziness had dragged He Xiaomei into this inexplicable storm.
Li Ang's self-deprecating explanation, which was released shortly afterward, also attracted a lot of attention.
He watched as his followers on various platforms grew rapidly, and comments poured in like snowflakes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Li Ang, Li Ang, you finally have some traffic now.
