After the reading session, the crew will prepare to start filming.
Before the news was officially announced, Xiao He checked the internet again and found that everyone was still very enthusiastic about Qin Lezhang's matter.
People were still doubting the authenticity of Qin Lezhang's alleged blacklisting of Xiao He, and many kept messaging those exes to try and confirm the truth of the matter. But not long after, Qin Lezhang's agent was arrested.
Moreover, it is said that the person was taken away directly in front of Qin Lezhang while he was recording the program.
When Wen Qi saw the group of police officers, his heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He subconsciously looked at Qin Lezhang, but Qin Lezhang simply turned his head away, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Wen Qi could only manage a wry smile.
He knew he couldn't say anything, not even refute the crimes the police had described.
After all, he was the one who handled many unspeakable matters, while Qin Lezhang never personally got involved. So, if we're going to investigate, his case is far more serious than Qin Lezhang's.
In comparison, hiring a hacker to spread rumors about public officials or celebrities is a very minor offense.
Wen Qi even readily took the blame for Old Master Qin, covering up the hacking incident involving Xiao He's phone.
After Wen Qi was arrested, the news that Qin Lezhang had blacklisted Xiao He became almost a foregone conclusion.
The ex-girlfriend of Qin Lezhang, who had previously revealed that "Qin Lezhang blacklisted a certain celebrity," even forwarded this message and deliberately said sarcastically, "Those who say I'm lying, come and see for yourselves, and listen to the sound of this slap in the face."
She heard Qin Lezhang say with her own ears that he wanted to blacklist Xiao He, so how could it be false?
This shocked netizens, and those who love to join in the fun immediately flocked to the comments section of this "ex," curiously asking who else Qin Lezhang had previously blacklisted.
As a result of this uproar, several artists who had been blacklisted by Qin Lezhang actually made a comeback and began to settle scores with Xingchen Entertainment and Qin Lezhang.
The gossip surrounding Qin Lezhang has been hyped up to a new level—but this has nothing to do with Xiao He, who is just one of the victims.
Even knowing that Wen Qi was just a tool, a pawn thrown out by the culprit, Xiao He was not prepared to let him go. He directly instructed the company's legal team to contact them and make sure to send this guy to jail so that he would never dare to aid and abet evil again.
Regarding the online events, Xiao He has never made a public statement, neither denying nor admitting them, and he has not intervened to incite fan wars. He has simply remained calm and composed, observing from the sidelines.
Compared to Qin Lezhang's exes who were constantly making a scene, and other artists whose careers were ruined by Qin Lezhang's blacklisting, Xiao He can be described as very Zen.
This has made the fans adopt a more Zen-like attitude.
A fan group.
【He Xiaohei: Brother Xiao really doesn't tell us anything, leaving me with no opportunity to use my skills.】
【Qingtian Yunhe: No need to be at the forefront, no need to fight with others in the industry every day, and no need to think about data manipulation. If someone tries to blacklist Brother Xiao, he can handle it himself first. Isn't that great? We're carried along, and we're getting to hold our heads high too.】
【Hehe: I think so too. My colleague is also a fan, but not of Xiao He; she's a fan of other celebrities. After this incident, she was very envious, thinking that it's so lucky for us to be fans of Xiao He. He handles so many things on his own, and when he faces us, he always comes in his best form with his work, so we don't have to put in any effort.】
【Group Owner: Yeah, yeah, it feels so good to be a fan of Xiao He. We don't have to constantly urge him to do data analysis, or keep an eye on the rivals' every move. He's also very dedicated; we only see his work, never any scandals. Following him is truly satisfying.】
【Feng Xiaoxiao: Coming here to retire was the best choice I ever made! Brother Xiao is my best investment! I will follow Brother Xiao to the death!】
【Look at my little box: Okay, okay, if you want to show off, don't say it in the group chat! This has to be shown off to others! Let others see it, and promote it a bit, otherwise, people can't really think Xiao He doesn't have fans to back him up, right?】
【Xiao Hei is Xiao He: Has Brother Xiao joined the crew yet? He's working so hard, I feel like he hasn't had a moment to rest. He's like an iron man.】
【Feng Xiaoxiao: Sigh, there's nothing we can do. I heard Brother Xiao's company is just starting out, and the pressure of early operations and development must be immense. All we can do is silently support him from behind!】
【Qingtian Yunhe: Well said! Perfect timing! To celebrate Xiao Ge joining the cast and to express our fans' stance on this incident, I'll also hold a giveaway on Weibo. I see I have a lot of things that haven't been used, so I'll just put them all up for giveaway.】
The group was completely silent.
This group was one of the earliest groups established by Xiao He after his debut. The fans in the group are basically Xiao He's original fans, and they are also the most influential and authoritative group among Xiao He's fans today.
If it were any other such veteran group, they would have already started forming cliques and wielding influence online, then gathered their fans to create small groups and guide them to engage in online battles and insults.
Unfortunately, the big fans in this group seem to have experienced a lot and are quite mature. Instead of engaging in confrontations, they have become more and more Zen-like. In addition to chatting about Xiao He's works and events in the group, they also talk about their real lives. They get along very well as friends.
After spending time together and communicating, everyone has a basic understanding of each other's situations.
Among them, the fan named Qingtian Yunhe is undoubtedly the richest one.
Furthermore, due to her overly extravagant and nouveau riche style, the other people in the group who have been involved in fan circles for many years could roughly guess who the person behind the Qingtian Yunhe account used to be a fan of.
However, this matter is in the past, and people generally don't bring it up anymore.
However, Qingtian Yunhe's arrogance is evident to all.
The "useless" things she mentioned weren't actually useless; rather, her family updated her wardrobe every year, and the expensive clothes and bags from various brands basically only had a one-year shelf life, so the ones that were replaced naturally became useless.
But who would really consider these things useless?
Even the cheapest clothes cost thousands of yuan, not to mention those incredibly luxurious designer bags.
Some group members initially thought Qing Tian Yun He was just showing off and trying to cultivate a rich woman persona, but wow, Qing Tian Yun He actually gave each group member a handbag, a level of generosity that left everyone else in the group speechless.
Little Box even dared to joke that Qing Tian Yun He was so rich he could probably book Brother Xiao outright, to which Qing Tian Yun He simply replied, "Not that shabby."
Group member: ...
Okay, okay, we're all fans, so why are we all different?
