Chapter 627: President Gu’s Online Dominance in Protecting His Husband (Part 2)
Eventually, after spending nearly five hundred thousand RMB on various retweets, hiring paid commentators, and traffic promotions, the Weibo post finally climbed to fifth place on Weibo’s trending list.
After reading it, netizens——
Some picked up their keyboards, assuming themselves to be all-powerful gods, and spoke as if they were standing on the moral high ground:
Paid commentator: [Chi Yu’s matter really keeps shattering my worldview, I never thought he’d be this kind of person, damn, before his debut, he was in that line of work...]
Paid commentator: [Though we shouldn’t have occupational discrimination, as long as it’s earning money through labor, it shouldn’t be easily denigrated, but Chi Yu’s case, I really can’t stand it, how does he manage to sell himself as a gentle, jade-like figure in front of fans and audiences, while being a master of time management?]
Paid commentator: [It really disgusts me, I thought he was just using connections for his debut, at most just mooching off someone, but turns out he mooched so much, sleeping with wealthy women so often, doesn’t he have nightmares?]
Netizen: [Oh my god, after seeing this, Chi Yu’s matter really refreshed my worldview, does such a person even deserve to be an artist?]
Paid commentator: [Get out of the entertainment industry, I won’t watch a single show he acts in.]
There are also netizens making sarcastic remarks: [If it weren’t for this lady boss’s issue, I wouldn’t even know who Chi Yu is?]
Netizen: [Makes sense, if it weren’t for this matter, I wouldn’t even know who Chi Yu is. By the way, what dramas has he acted in? I heard he hasn’t debuted for long, what works could be so hyped up like this?!]
Netizen: [I never follow celebrities, seeing the entertainment industry like this only seems stupid, fans keep defending, must be undereducated.]
Netizen: [Thinking that such low-grade artists will continue appearing on screens in the future makes me speechless. Is the entertainment industry out of stars, why not ban him yet, what’s he kept for?]
Paid commentator: [Debuting based solely on his face, who knows how many surgeries that face underwent, if one day Chi Yu’s plastic surgery hospital is exposed, the defending fans might cry themselves faint in the bathroom.]
Paid commentator: [No wonder he’s always stiff-faced without a smile, turns out it’s a surgery face, been cut countless times right? Doesn’t dare to smile, if he does, it’ll probably crack instantly.]
The publicity accounts, after being paid, handled things efficiently.
The comment section, boosted by paid commentators, quickly trampled Chi Yu’s reputation into the ground, with dirty water splashed over and over, completely wiping away the last bit of his image.
Originally, the online opinions about Chi Yu had been gradually calming down these past few days. The cold treatment clearly yielded a more composed result, plus Chi Yu hadn’t been active recently. Yi Shu was pleased seeing this outcome, at least whether Chi Yu leaves the circle or not, his image won’t be utterly destroyed.
But on this day, when Yi Shu learned Chi Yu’s image was thoroughly smeared online, even with all kinds of baseless gossip and rumors arising...
Yi Shu was of course initially very angry, but soon calmed down.
This wasn’t just a simple online wave stirred by netizens.
It was clear there were hands behind this, pushing the situation to ferment quickly.
Spent quite a bit of money, huh.
’Buzz-’
The phone vibrated slightly.
Yi Shu picked it up and glanced at it, a WeChat message came through, he clicked it open.
After reading it, Yi Shu put down the phone, chuckling coldly: "Really spent quite a bit of money."
"Ha, Xiao Kai being stupid can be overlooked, but Cheng Song, that old fox being stupid too, jumping at the chance to ruin his future."
No need for him to guess who’s behind it. Some insiders within the company already informed Yi Shu it was Cheng Song pulling the strings, spending quite a bit of money, taking advantage of the swirling opinions about Chi Yu, seeing no backing from capital, immediately stepping in to stomp hard.
Revenge?
Idiot.
Taking advantage of the time now, Yi Shu planned to meet Cheng Song, kindly to give him a warning.
Before he even left, Cheng Song turned up himself, his acting skills could make being a manager seem unfair, should have been an actor instead, look at that worried and comforting expression done so well——
"Comrade Lao Shu."
Once Cheng Song walked in, he placed a hand on Yi Shu’s shoulder, comforting: "I’ve been busy with Kai Kai’s new script recently, not paying much attention to the online news, just found out about this incident, are things okay on your end? Why isn’t the company’s PR team handling it?"
Yi Shu looked at Cheng Song’s actor face, playing along not tearing down his pretense, instead cooperated with him: "Hey, as you know, keeping an eye on the current situation, with the company watching, no orders from above, naturally the company won’t intervene. Our Chi Yu really had bad luck this time, probably..." Yi Shu sighed deeply, worriedly said: "Probably can’t keep afloat in the entertainment industry, you see how the internet is cursing like that, all upcoming contracts and endorsements might terminate."
