Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Scandal Unveiled
The apology statement trending was organic.
Yesterday happened to be Saturday, and "Leisurely Country Life" is currently the hottest live streaming variety show, with quite a large audience.
When Tuanzi approached Wei Chuan, Director Wang immediately switched her camera to the main live stream room.
As a result, when Wei Chuan scurried away from Xishui Village, Wei Chuan’s fans, haters, show fans, Yun Xiuxiu’s fans, Gu Wangchao’s fans, were all watching the live stream while posting hashtags, pushing the trending topic instantly.
Even passersby noticed and clicked in to watch.
Wei Chuan’s PR was quick, hastily issuing an apology statement that moved the fans to tears.
But the team didn’t want to trend, yet before long, the hashtag dropped, only to be pushed back again. Dropping down, quickly pushed back up.
A lot of money was spent, with no effect at all.
The trending topic today was parachute-dropped, obviously bought by someone targeting him.
Netizens clicked in, both astonished and amused, to indulge in gossip.
First came the trending topic of three-timing.
The three girls posted their relationship stories almost at the same time, with clear order and well-documented evidence, directly nailing him hard.
Through chat records, everyone found that Wei Chuan used the excuse of protecting them to refuse to make their relationships public, and his flirting tactics were identical, even the gifts were similar.
His time management was unexpectedly good; two of the girls had birthdays on the same day, he celebrated with one at noon and went to the other’s house in the evening.
[Isn’t Wei Chuan the singer pushed by Mengkong Entertainment? With such tight work schedule, and still able to handle three girlfriends at once, impressive]
[I thought it was a fake sister-in-law coming up, looked at the evidence, I’ll stop now, immediately unfollow, and damn slag men!]
[Initially I thought someone willingly stepped in knowing the truth, or pretended ignorance while knowing their boyfriend cheated, turns out Wei Chuan’s quite capable. His tactics could be taught in a class, I’d be spun around if I were one of them]
[I remember he had a lot of girlfriend fans, I wonder what the fans think now, having worked hard to buy albums and endorsed products]
The evidence was so ample, many fans unfollowed immediately.
Wei Chuan is not purely a singer; he is more like an idol. Idols cannot have private relationships with fans and usually cannot date before transitioning. For they sell fantasy, hence they have many female fans.
Idol dating amounts to a collapsed reputation. Of course, some fans just like his looks, or are "mom fans," or maybe just love his performances, and would stick around even if he dated.
But if this idol is dating three girlfriends simultaneously, and the three girlfriends don’t know about each other?
This is not just a collapsed reputation, it’s a social earthquake, it’s a character flaw; he’s not even qualified to be in the circle.
Only a portion of fans who are deeply brainwashed are still whimpering about someone bullying their brother.
[Could it be such a coincidence? Three people writing essays at the same time, clearly someone is trying to harm him]
[Exactly, wonder who he offended]
[Definitely Gu Wangchao! You know this guy’s just pretending]
[Forgive my frankness ahead, he’s offended too many people]
Everyone clicked into the third trending topic.
It was a recording; Wei Chuan should have stayed in a relatively closed and safe environment, lost control of his volume, said lots of foul words, mentioned that some pop king was too old to sing yet trying to make money, came as a judge to deliberately embarrass him. He also mentioned other new-generation singers, saying they were inferior to him.
Everyone recalled that Wei Chuan attended a singing show last year.
This show usually has old veterans leading new-generation singers to sing, with some heavyweight judges giving brief critiques and guidance.
Since there was no elimination system, many new-generation singers under guidance recognized their weaknesses, improved rapidly, and the show’s ratings were quite high. People also liked to see this harmonious scene.
[I remember Wei Chuan was pointed out several flaws, later corrected them, the quality of new songs was so good]
[Yeah, with king-level guidance, other young singers would envy him on time, yet he felt others were targeting him]
[Let me count, yesterday in the show he cursed Gu Wangchao, cursed the pop king in this show, cursed several contemporary new-generation singers, indeed, he’s offended quite a few people]
The three girls acted simultaneously, clearly premeditated.
Whether they found each other on their own and decided to collectively deal with the scumbag, or someone contacted them to act now, the facts are the facts.
If Wei Chuan had not done these things, naturally no one would expose the truth. One can simply say he reaps what he sowed.
As it involved many people, and one was a pop king, more and more people got involved.
The online warfare temporarily had nothing to do with Gu Wangchao.
He got up in the morning and heard the sounds of ’hum-hum ha-hee’.
Turning outside, his sister was holding a stick teaching a group of kids.
Such energy.
Gu Wangchao remarked, ready to head to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, not seeing his elder brother’s silhouette, had to go out again.
A staff member said: "Mr. Gu just went out jogging with Miaomiao, hasn’t returned yet."
The zombie-like running scene flashed through his mind.
Gu Wangchao paused, "I’ll go find him."
He thought to himself, could his elder brother have collapsed halfway through the run?
Tuanzi just finished teaching a move, waved her little hand, "You practice on your own."
"Yes, Teacher Miaomiao!"
Tuanzi laughed with her eyes curved.
Teacher Miaomiao, she liked this title.
Glimpsing the hurried departure of Gu Wangchao, she couldn’t help but smile secretly.
[Ancient Martial System: What bad scheme are you plotting again]
Tuanzi widened her eyes, full of grievance.
[Miaomiao: What do you mean again? Miaomiao always helps others, never does bad deeds]
[Ancient Martial System: ...]
Kids can’t keep secrets.
The system didn’t ask further; Tuanzi couldn’t help but speak.
[Miaomiao: Actually, before jogging, Miaomiao heard Brother Pei Hai talking to someone on the phone, hehe, he’ll definitely make another call later]
The system didn’t quite get the logic here.
Gu Peihai making a phone call, and Gu Wangchao going to find him, are there any necessary links?
Tuanzi extended her chubby paw, rubbing her face, the flesh on her cheeks squeezed back and forth.
Wu Yu was busy practicing stick skills, seeing her rub her face, pondered, slowly asked, "Miaomiao sister, can I rub your face?"
Tuanzi was startled.
"Eh, Brother Wu Yu, how come you are here?"
She remembered Wu Yu as the only one not keen on moving, refusing to learn stick skills.
Just busy with teaching, she hadn’t noticed Wu Yu sneaking in.
The little boy scratched his hair.
"Dad asked me, he said he felt uncomfortable, if I’m lively like other kids, doing more work, his illness will get better."
Tuanzi: ▼_▼
The Uncle Wu Ti looked pretty handsome, how could he deceive kids? Should she tell Wu Yu he’s been fooled?
Tuanzi was a bit conflicted, her features all scrunched together.
The little boy was just lazy, actually understood well.
"Ah, I know he’s lying to me."
Tuanzi was dumbfounded.
"But," the little boy scratched his hair again, "He doesn’t get angry, instead pretends to be sick, kind of pitiable, so I’ll just do some work."
