BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62 - 62: Visit
Seeing Tang Qidai’s hesitation, Lu Shiyuan asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Brother Shiyuan, I still feel that this matter is a little strange. It suddenly became a trending topic without any evidence, not to mention it’s targeted at me…”
Tang Qidai furrowed her brows. “Moreover, Shan-Shan has always misunderstood me. She doesn’t like me at all…”
Her words were filled with hints.
Lu Shiyuan’s expression turned serious. “You mean to say that the text message was directed and acted out by Lin Shanchu just so she can frame you?”
“No… I was just guessing…” Tang Qidai denied nervously. “Although I don’t want to think of Shan Shan like this, she…’
She only said half of the sentence and left the rest to Lu Shiyuan to think about.
“She’s done many things to frame you since she was young!” Lu Shiyuan sneered. “You’re too kind, so you don’t want to think of her as a bad person. The truth is…”
Lu Shiyuan recalled Lin Shanchu’s actions during this period of time and gritted his teeth. “She’s just so cruel and unscrupulous!”
Tang Qidai was secretly overjoyed, but she still had to put on a kind and magnanimous look.
“Brother Shiyuan, don’t say such things about Shanshan…”
“I’ll handle this,” Lu Shiyuan interrupted her.
Tang Qidai noticed that he was a little impatient, so she didn’t say anything.
Lu Shiyuan’s style of doing things had always been simple and crude.
He immediately let Zhou Yan remove the trending topic.
As soon as this trending topic was removed, the core of the matter changed.
While the netizens were shocked, they also became more excited. [The trending topic got removed again! Which bigshot is behind this?]
[Is it this hard to guess?]
[Everyone just guessed that the person who sent the text message might be the female celebrity with a very sweet and sugary surname, and now the trending topic is gone. Go ahead and think about this information.] [Oh, I know. It’s the disgusting killjoy from before.]
[I’m really slow on this, so I’d like to ask who’s the disgusting killjoy.]
[Here you go. :link:]
[Isn’t this indirect proof that the person who sent the text message is a female celebrity with a very sweet surname?]
[If you’re talking about sweet surnames, does that mean the female celebrity’s surname is Tang, as in sugar? Tang Qidai? Can we not mention her name anymore?]
Lu Shiyuan removed the trending topic.
Not only did it not reduce the popularity of the matter.
On the contrary, the topic fermented even more.
The netizens who were watching the show changed the discussion area and continued to discuss this matter.
No matter how influential Lu Shiyuan was, it was impossible for him to be in front of the computer all the time to deal with this matter.
In the end, this matter was spread all over the internet.
Seeing that things were not going well, the manager informed Tang Qidai that very night.
The moment Tang Qidai arrived, she immediately threw a tantrum and questioned her manager.
“Isn’t the trending topic already removed? How did it end up like this?” In the past, things would be fine once the trending topic was removed.
Why was it that this time, after the trending topic got removed, the incident ended up getting spread across the internet?
The manager pondered for a moment. “Maybe it’s because the protagonist of the incident is Lin Shanchu.”
“This isn’t the first time I’m on the trending list with Lin Shanchu. You guys could always handle it well in the past, but apparently, you can’t this time! Is it that hard to admit that you’re useless?”
Tang Qidai’s hysterical shrieks made her face contort maliciously.
A few assistants were still at the scene, so the manager felt humiliated as she listened to Tang Qidai scolding her.
However, she could only suppress her temper and explained, ” Lin Shanchu’s current popularity and attention are no longer the same as before. Anything about her can attract a lot of attention. The previous method of removing the trending topic and suppressing the popularity has a very little effect right now.”
“She’s only been on this show for a few days. How can she be popular?” Tang Qidai did not care about her manager’s words at all.
The manager knew that she could not get through to Tang Qidai.
She might as well not say it.
The manager took a few deep breaths to compose herself. “Isn’t your new drama about to air? A lot of netizens have gone to your new drama’s official Weibo to boycott it. The production company also contacted me just now, asking us to make a statement to save the situation. Otherwise, it will affect the ratings. ”
“You want me to make a statement?” Tang Qidai said disdainfully. “Does
Brother Shiyuan know about this?”
“It’d be great if President Lu can personally talk to the production company,” the manager said with her eyes lowered.
Tang Qidai choked on the words.
All these years, she had Lu Shiyuan under her control. Naturally, she knew that it was best for her to not overdo it.
Lu Shiyuan had just helped her remove another trending topic. If she were to ask him for help with such a small matter, he would definitely be annoyed.
“Brother Shiyuan is so busy. I don’t want him to be troubled by such a small matter.”
Tang Qidai looked at her manager arrogantly. “Tell me, how do you want me to make my statement?”
“Visit Lin Shanchu at “My Stage” to prove that you’re still good friends,” the manager suggested.
“I’m not…” Tang Qidai changed her mind, thinking that she could deal with Xia
Jinmeng the b*tch at that time. “What time?”
“Tomorrow, but…”
“If you have something to say, just say it all at once,” Tang Qidai said impatiently.
“The show is streamed all the time. You need to watch your words and actions to avoid any accidents.”
“You don’t have to tell me twice. Of course, I know that! You nag too much!”
The manager was silent for a moment. “Rest early. You still have work tomorrow.”
Lin Shanchu returned from Nan Mu’s office. Just as she walked to the dormitory door, she heard her roommates talking inside.
“What happened to the bathroom? Why are there so many things on the floor?”
“Yeah, Lin Shanchu is nowhere to be seen.”
“I heard that she went to the boss to ask for a product placement ad.”
“Someone said that they saw Wen Tongtong and Xia Jinmeng leaving our dormitory.”
Yun Wu was the first to see Lin Shanchu.
“You’re back.”
“Yeah.”
Lin Shanchu walked in with a smile.
Her roommates asked her if she really went to the boss to ask for a product placement advertisement. Lin Shanchu said yes.
After that, they asked her if she had seen Wen Tongtong and Xia Jinmeng in the dormitory.
“I’m not too sure. I went straight to the boss when I came back.” Lin Shanchu’s voice was gentle. No traces of lying could be found on her expression.
There was a theme song recording the next afternoon.
The members had been preparing since the morning.
They got up early in the morning to change and put on makeup. Then, they boarded the bus to the location.
Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu sat together. Ran Zhimo followed them and sat behind them.
Ran Zhimo noticed that Wen Tongtong was in the same bus as them.
She looked around and did not see Xia Jinmeng, so she reached out and poked Lin Shanchu’s shoulder.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Shanchu turned around.
Ran Zhimo pointed at Wen Tongtong’s position and asked, “Isn’t she and Xia
Jinmeng inseparable? Why didn’t she board the bus in front of us where Xia Jinmeng is at?”
“Oh, really?” Lin Shanchu asked.
Ning Yunxi, who was sitting in front, also turned around and joined the discussion while sounding mysterious.
“Don’t you guys know?” She lowered her voice slightly.
“What?” Ran Zhimo asked.
Ning Yunxi explained, “I heard from Wen Tongtong’s roommates that she had injuries on her face when she returned to the dormitory last night. It looked like she was scratched.”
“I heard that Xia Jinmeng’s face was also scratched.” The member beside her also joined the discussion..
