Liu Rulan thought for a moment, then shook her head: "We can still give him a chance, it just depends on whether he can seize it."
She has a bit of cleverness, but not much, and she doesn't have any malicious intent. She poses no threat to my side, so Liu Rulan doesn't mind making a good connection with her.
After all, stars in the entertainment industry rise and fall, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the end.
"You don't need to worry about it. Since he came here for me, I'll recommend him for a spot later. That will help him offset this incident. As for the final outcome, we'll see if he's just clever but incapable of achieving anything great."
Since the opportunity has been given, if I can't seize it, then it's none of their business, and there's no need for me to continue paying attention.
Xiao He didn't ask any questions and simply followed her instructions.
That night, almost no one slept, constantly monitoring the news online.
Around 2 a.m., Xiao He received the latest update: Lu Yuxi had been successfully rescued after being rushed to the hospital and was transferred to the ICU for observation.
Fortunately, he's young and still physically strong. He's basically out of danger now; it's just a matter of when Lu Yuxi will regain consciousness.
When they heard the news, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Good, as long as no one died, the nature of this matter is not so serious.
The next day, Lu Yuxi woke up from her coma. The production team officially began to refute the rumors, clarify the truth about the stage accident involving Xiao He and Lu Yuxi, and announced Lu Yuxi's hospitalization status, sincerely thanking Xiao He for his help.
This statement finally ended the debate among all parties, but it also caused a great shock.
【Laughing and crying, your fans were practically fighting, and you're only saying this now?】
【What's going on? When did Lu Yuxi get hospitalized?】
【Speaking of which, when the ambulance arrived at the scene earlier, we were all discussing who had been in trouble. It turns out it was Lu Yuxi...】
【Waaaaah, I'm so sorry, as a fan, I had absolutely no idea what was going on with my idol, waaaah...】
【Lu Yuxi: I'm out of danger now, thank you everyone for your concern. I'm very sorry for the trouble I caused the production crew, and I'm also very grateful to Brother Xiao for his crucial first aid. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't be here speaking now. At the same time, I'm deeply sorry for the recent negative comments about Brother Xiao online. Because of a heart condition, I subconsciously took the wrong position, but thankfully Brother Xiao saved the day, allowing the performance to conclude successfully. I also ask my fans to stop their malicious attacks on Brother Xiao...】
【Lu Yuxi: In addition, I will be terminating my agency contract with my agent, Ms. Lu Yu, and will temporarily suspend work to recuperate. My lawyer will handle any unfinished business activities during this period. I apologize again for affecting everyone's work and taking up public resources due to my health condition...】
When Xiao He saw the message, his comment section was already flooded with Lu Yuxi's fans, who unanimously expressed their gratitude and apologies to him.
【Thank you, Brother Xiao.】
【Brother Xiao is a savior! Thank you, Brother Xiao!】
【So it turns out Xiao Ge was the one saving the day from beginning to end! Xiao Ge gets another "good guy" card; he saved people and still got yelled at, so pitiful.】
【Poor Xiao Ge! Where are all those haters? Speak up! Whose paid trolls are they? Claim them yourself!】
【Where are the haters? Yesterday I said a few words in defense of Xiao He, and you all said my mom flew away. Now what? Come out and talk!】
【As I said before, if you can't distinguish between your role and reality, go back and get your head checked. Don't try to find a sense of existence here.】
The internet is known for its rapid shifts in attitudes. Fortunately, the production team ultimately achieved its goal: minimizing the impact of Lu Yuxi's incident and avoiding deep involvement with the production team. When Lu Yuxi announced his intention to terminate his contract with Lu Yu, he effectively shifted all the blame onto himself.
Xiao He's mission can be considered a complete success. This public opinion "crisis," which lasted less than half a day, had no impact on him. In fact, it even helped him gain resources from the Peach platform and successfully sign several well-known brand endorsements.
Xiao He was somewhat surprised that Lu Yuxi wanted to terminate her agency relationship with Lu Yu.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Many of the things that are happening now are the work of Lu Yu.
He had absolutely no good impression of Lu Yu.
That's good. Once these two's issues are sorted out, they also have a lawsuit to discuss with Lu Yu.
—Do you really think you can get away unscathed after manipulating public opinion?
The company's legal team can't wait!
In the end, Xiao He only gave a lukewarm reply.
【Xiao He: Yes, I wish Teacher Lu a speedy recovery.】
With Xiao He's "reconciliation," the main force of Xiao He's fans, who had been lying low, began to emerge one after another, turning the comment section into a completely different scene—
【Thank you all for your trust in Brother Xiao. Brother Xiao has done many good deeds, which have been reported by official news outlets multiple times. Please continue to trust Brother Xiao's character! Also, Brother Xiao's new drama "Yu Ye" will premiere on January 1st. Welcome everyone to watch!】
【It's nothing, just a harmless misunderstanding! Wishing Lu Yuxi a speedy recovery! Also, everyone is welcome to watch the drama "Yu Ye," exclusively broadcast on Tencent Video on January 1st!】
【It was all a misunderstanding, we're friends now! Hurry and pre-register for "Yu Ye" next Monday on Tencent Video! It's a brand new Xiao Ge! A completely different character from before! Welcome everyone to discuss it!】
【Little Box fans will be giving away VIP red envelopes on Tencent Video, everyone is welcome to grab them!】
Seeing his fans scroll down all the malicious comments and bring up the promotion for the upcoming drama "Yu Ye" again, Xiao He felt a mix of emotions.
Although they had already privately appeased some of the major fans, most of the casual fans did not have these channels of information, so after the incident, they were genuinely worried and anxious as they helped clarify the situation.
Thinking of this, Xiao He felt a little guilty and decided to start a live stream on New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year with his fans.
Xiao He immediately told Liu Rulan about his plan.
Liu Rulan has been very busy lately. In addition to the online controversy, she is also busy with Xiao He's birthday party.
The preparation and application process for these kinds of birthday parties takes a long time. The fact that she is only starting to prepare now is already considered very late. In addition, it will coincide with the Spring Festival, so many fans may need to adjust their schedules in advance. Therefore, it would be best to announce Xiao He's birthday party a month in advance so that fans who want to participate offline can prepare in advance.
Therefore, Liu Rulan can be said to be extremely busy.
Upon hearing of Xiao He's plan, she didn't pay much attention and readily agreed.
And so the matter was settled hastily.
Over the next few days, Xiao He continued promoting "Yu Ye" and also went on a mountain biking trip [N O V E L I G H T] with Tao Zidong before finally returning to Shanghai just in time.
In the blink of an eye, the last day of the year is coming to an end.
...
After a busy day, Liu Rulan could finally catch her breath.
Looking at the time on her wrist, Liu Rulan opened Xiao He's live stream, ready to see what he was doing.
But when she clicked into the live stream, the first thing she saw was a distorted figure.
Liu Rulan: ?
She squinted, unable to understand what game Xiao He was playing for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, she watched as Xiao He, controlling a bald man in black, struggled to take a step forward while holding a diamond. Then, as if boneless, the man in black fell to the ground with his buttocks sticking out in a very bizarre posture.
Liu Rulan: ?
"Family, we've finally taken the hardest step! As long as we steal the diamond, we'll win! Trust me, this time we'll definitely get it right on the first try!"
In the upper right corner of the live stream, Xiao He was still earnestly studying the black-clad man's "gymnastics" posture, determined to make the game character "walk" back to the starting point of the level in a human-like manner: "Come on, let's first step out with our hips and elbows, then adjust the direction of our arms—flip—"
The man in black in the video rolled on the ground and got stuck in a strange position with his feet on top and his hands on the bottom.
Oh right, and he didn't forget to grab his diamond from the cardboard cutout.
Liu Rulan:
Upon closer inspection, the game's name is: Thief Simulator.
Liu Rulan: !!!
"Xiao He! What are you doing, you little brat?!"
I asked you to spend New Year's Eve with me, not to do silly things!
