Jian Xiu Huan had a massive following, and almost immediately after Jian Xiu Huan posted on Weibo,
refreshing the page revealed numerous comments.
Seeing so many people praising him, Jian Sheng's eyes curved into a smile.
Jian Xiu Huan's head also nudged closer.
"Hmm, no negative or misleading comments. Good. It seems the previous 'kill the chicken to warn the monkeys' approach was indeed effective."
Jian Xiu Huan nodded in satisfaction.
After securing the evidence, the subsequent legal procedures were handled by a professional legal team.
This was, in fact, the first time so many people had been sued in the entertainment industry, or even across the entire internet.
Jian Xiu Huan was unaware that many paparazzi had been thoroughly intimidated by his actions.
While they hated his "table-flipping" move, they didn't dare to do anything real, fearing they'd be sent away too.
Jian Xiu Huan's act of sending fans to jail unexpectedly hit the trending search list.
It even made it onto the social news charts.
Normally, when a celebrity's name appeared on social news, the celebrity would be trembling with anxiety.
This time, seeing Jian Xiu Huan's name on social news made his fans tremble with anxiety.
They were afraid they would be added to Jian Xiu Huan's list of free residents.
Jian Xiu Huan recalled what his agent, Brother Wang, had warned him when he saw the trending search results on Weibo.
"Xiu Huan, your decision to sue so many people at once has indeed made many people more hesitant to spread rumors about you online."
"But you need to understand that by doing this, you are essentially going against so many media and marketing accounts online."
"You have completely offended these groups. From now on, no matter what you do, you have to be extremely careful."
"You absolutely cannot let any evidence or negative points fall into their hands."
"If you make even the slightest mistake, they can magnify that one mistake a hundredfold."
"They will completely nail you, leaving you no chance to recover."
The warnings from his agent were all based on years of experience in the entertainment industry.
This was also why, when many celebrities were slandered by marketing accounts,
even if they were furious, they had to grit their teeth and endure it.
Marketing accounts could fabricate all sorts of rumors, and celebrities could only rely on their PR teams to refute them.
They wouldn't resort to such a drastic "table-flipping" approach.
It was akin to killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own soldiers.
Jian Xiu Huan accepted his agent's earnest advice with humility,
but he was resolute in not changing his ways.
He acted with integrity and uprightness, never caring about sarcastic remarks.
He could even tolerate simple rumors directed at him personally.
However, if someone dared to lay hands on those close to him...
Jian Xiu Huan tightened his grip on Jian Sheng's arm.
He wouldn't hesitate to send every single one of them away, without exception.
The force on his shoulder was a bit tight. Jian Sheng turned his head to look.
"Cousin, are you unhappy?"
Jian Xiu Huan snapped back to reality and suddenly felt the word "cousin" in Jian Sheng's address rather jarring.
"Just call me brother."
Jian Sheng, not understanding why, nodded obediently. "Okay, brother~"
The slight frustration in Jian Xiu Huan's heart instantly vanished. He beamed and playfully ruffled Jian Sheng's cheeks.
Then, with a grand gesture, he said, "Let's go, I'll take you to my company to play with other brothers and sisters!"
His previous experience bringing Sheng Sheng there was not pleasant.
This time, no matter what, he had to dispel the negative feelings Sheng Sheng had developed then.
Jian Jun Ruo was delighted to see Sheng Sheng making friends and immediately agreed to entrust Sheng Sheng to him, expressing her full confidence.
When Jian Xiu Huan debuted, he signed with Huang Xia Entertainment, one of China's three major entertainment giants.
After his instant rise to fame, Huang Xia provided him with immense support.
Later, Jian Xiu Huan, with a growth speed that surprised everyone, reached a level unattainable by most artists.
The boss of Huang Xia was also a shrewd individual. Seeing Jian Xiu Huan gradually gaining the power to converse with the higher-ups,
he made a decisive move and personally helped Jian Xiu Huan establish a personal studio, affiliated with Huang Xia Entertainment.
On the way to Huang Xia Entertainment, Jian Xiu Huan recounted his experiences over the years to Jian Sheng.
These were details not present in the original novel, and Jian Sheng listened with great interest.
"So, the boss of Huang Xia and Uncle Wang, your agent, can both be considered your benefactors."
Jian Xiu Huan nodded. "That's absolutely correct."
"Back then, I knew nothing about the entertainment industry and just barged in with sheer stubbornness."
"The more I learned, the more I realized how deep the waters were."
"Through years of struggling, I've relied entirely on Brother Wang's guidance and Huang Xia's backing."
"Otherwise, I might have been truly tricked and forced to leave, returning home in disgrace."
"Uncle Wang is a good person!" Jian Sheng nodded emphatically.
Jian Xiu Huan held her face and ruffled it again. "Brother Wang might not really want to be called a good person."
Jian Sheng blinked his large eyes in confusion. "Why? Isn't Brother Wang a good person?"
Jian Xiu Huan flashed a mischievous smile and raised his phone to face the young girl.
"Sheng Sheng, say that again."
The young girl tilted her head, her big eyes filled with confusion.
"Uncle Wang is a good person?"
Jian Xiu Huan couldn't hold back, bursting into laughter.
His stomach began to ache from laughing, and Jian Xiu Huan's lips were still upturned in a wide grin.
He sent the short video, only a few seconds long, to his agent.
Within moments, the agent's call came through directly.
A roar erupted from the other end:
"JIAN! XIU! HUAN!"
As if he had anticipated this, Jian Xiu Huan held his phone far away.
After the agent finished roaring, a devil-may-care, roguish smile still lingered on his lips.
"Brother Wang, Sheng Sheng is here. Don't scare the child."
His fists clenched.
On the other end of the phone, agent Brother Wang balled his fists, his blood boiling.
