Chapter 626: President Gu Protects Her Husband Online with Overwhelming Force
Chi Yu contemplated for a few seconds, then reminded Xiao Kai, "If you take advantage of the fire to rob Chi Yu right now, the risk will be huge."
"Risk, huh..." Xiao Kai wasn’t brainless; of course he understood what Cheng Song was worried about.
He was worried Chi Yu still had a way out!
If it turned out Chi Yu really had a backup plan and the capital side went all out to protect him through this crisis, then Xiao Kai’s act of kicking him when he was down would naturally backfire, and by then it would be beyond saving.
After mulling it over for a moment, Xiao Kai quickly calmed down, nodded, and said, "You’re right, Brother Song. Then we’ll wait and observe for another two days. If Chi Yu really has no way out and those big capital guys up there abandon him, just you wait—I’ll let Chi Yu know what real adding insult to injury looks like."
Cheng Song saw the hatred in Xiao Kai’s eyes growing wildly out of control.
He recalled how after that awards ceremony back then, Xiao Kai had gone home and lost his mind for a long time before finally calming down. That award, though not as valuable as a top prize, was still a form of recognition in the acting industry and would have paved a much better path for his future career.
And precisely because of that incident, Xiao Kai lost two scripts that were in talks, as well as three endorsement deals. After that, he had a long stretch of career downtime, and Cheng Song had to put in enormous effort to slowly get Xiao Kai’s career back on track.
So this time, for Xiao Kai, it was naturally the perfect chance to get back at Chi Yu.
Except, although he supported Xiao Kai’s approach, Cheng Song still faintly felt that something about it was off.
But he couldn’t put his finger on exactly what was wrong.
He just had a feeling that something big was about to blow up in the entertainment industry this time...
...
Next, Cheng Song stayed on the sidelines for two days. During those two days of waiting, Xiao Kai was already getting impatient. Once he learned that no capital had stepped in to protect Chi Yu, Xiao Kai struck directly.
Cheng Song said, "Even if Chi Yu now puts out a statement and does those image‑maintenance moves, it won’t help much. I asked a friend to find out how Chi Yu’s side is handling it. Apparently their strategy is to cold‑handle it, which explains why there’s been no movement these days."
Xiao Kai curled his lips in a smile. "Cold‑handling isn’t a bad option. Wait until the storm dies down, then he can slip back into the public eye again..."
Chi Yu, you have your clever schemes, and I have my ladder over the wall.
The grudge from back then—it’s time to settle it!
Without hesitating, Xiao Kai spent a huge amount of money on the marketing accounts he’d negotiated with, and they started rolling out low‑grade scandal posts about Chi Yu one after another.
So that afternoon, not long after the heat around Chi Yu on Weibo had just subsided a bit, a new trending topic related to him suddenly parachuted onto the hot search. The hot search title itself wasn’t all that shocking—after all, everyone had seen similar titles many times over the last few days. It was nothing more than the usual talk about Chi Yu being kept by a rich woman to debut.
What netizens didn’t expect was that the content under this hot search title this time practically blew their minds.
Hot Search Rank #5: #ChiYu’sUnknownRoadToFame#

"Big Bro of Star Circle" V: [I’m sure everyone’s sick of the recent heated discussions, so let me offer you some fresher, juicier melon. I heard Chi Yu’s road to stardom was entirely thanks to some rich lady boss who single‑handedly praised him to the skies, and I was quite envious. But I bet you don’t know how much filth and nastiness is hidden behind Chi Yu’s rise to fame. You think it all started with him being kept by a rich woman? I just got hold of some earth‑shattering inside info: turns out before Chi Yu met that fateful benefactor of a lady boss, he already loved playing with rich women and had joined several clubs as a high‑end gigolo. Think about that face and that body—tsk tsk tsk, he really does have the capital. Not only that, after being kept by the lady boss he still couldn’t cut ties with his previous sugar mommies, serving several at the same time (who wouldn’t applaud him as a true master of time management???). After the lady boss caught him cheating, she kicked him to the curb. Chi Yu regretted it so much he went to kneel and beg her forgiveness. The lady boss, for the sake of past feelings, didn’t completely ban him and even left him a way out. Shows you how kind she is. Chi Yu is really the ungrateful one here. I don’t think I should be the only one who knows what Chi Yu is like in private. Let the fans who still insist on liking him take a look—is this the gentle, refined, talented, and virtuous idol you adore? Wake up. He’s just trash.]
It was no longer just the story about Chi Yu being kept by a rich woman and getting popular off her.
It was a full report on all the supposed reasons why Chi Yu was abandoned by that rich woman.
The marketing account with over five hundred thousand zombie followers posted a Weibo. Since zombie followers can’t generate traffic, they spent at least a hundred thousand RMB to buy promotion for that post, and when they found the boost wasn’t strong enough, they threw in another few hundred thousand.
