BXBX NOVEL Chapter 218 - 218: Suicide Due to Cyberbullying
“I have nothing to say.” He Xiang forced a smile. She did not speak, nor did she look at her phone.
It was abnormal.
He Xiang had something on her mind, but she did not want to speak out.
Lin Shanchu did not intend to ask further questions.
In the afternoon, Qi Cheng took Lin Shanchu to meet the brand owner. He Xiang went along with them, and she was in good condition.
Lin Shanchu thought that the issue weighing on He Xiang’s mind was not serious.
When they passed by Tianzhou Media on their way back, Qi Cheng asked Lin
Shanchu if she wanted to go to the company to take a look.
Since it was still early, Lin Shanchu nodded.
Lin Shanchu heard Ji Yuan’s voice as soon as she entered the company.
“Sis, why did the company suddenly ask us to fill this out? How are we supposed to fill it out?”
Just fill it in according to your true thoughts. Fill it out quickly and leave. You still have activities tonight…”
Ji Yuan turned the pen in his hand. When he turned his head and saw Shanchu, his eyes gleamed instantly.
“Sister Lin! Why have you come to the company?”
“I’m just passing by.”
Lin Shanchu glanced at the table in front of Ji Yuan and saw the words on it.
“Mental health assessment form?”
“Yes.” Ji Yuan nodded. “The company asked me to fill it out. Every artist has to fill it out.”
Qi Cheng had already handed Lin Shanchu a form and a pen.
Lin Shanchu took the pen and asked, ‘Why do we have to fill this out?”
“President Nan must be very concerned about our mental health,” Ji Yuan said seriously.
Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows and started filling in the form.
Ji Yuan, who was sitting opposite her, leaned forward with his elbows on the table and craned his neck to read Lin Shanchu’s answer. “What are you doing?” Lin Shanchu noticed his little move.
Ji Yuan eagerly said, “Let me copy it.”
“…It’s not like we’re doing homework.” Lin Shanchu did not allow him to copy it. Se quickly filled it out and handed it to Qi Cheng.
As the finals of “My Stage” was around the corner, Nan Mu went to the training camp for inspection and was not at the company. Lin Shanchu turned around and prepared to leave.
Ji Yuan followed her.
“Sister Lin, how have you been recently?”
“I’m fine,” Lin Shanchu said coldly.
When she got into the car, Ji Yuan waved at her. “Sister Lin, I’ll treat you to a meal when I’m free.”
Lin Shanchu turned to look at him.
“You’re my great benefactor,” Ji Yuan said with a smile.
Lin Shanchu waved at him, gesturing for him to leave quickly.
She just accidentally made Fu Jue fall from grace.
The company quickly signed a contract with the brand owner.
As soon as the contract was signed, the brand owner announced it on Weibo.
The storm had just passed, but Lin Shanchu’s popularity was still at a high level. Before the brand owner could make the announcement to the trending search list, Lin Shanchu’s endorsement was trending because of her fans and netizens who followed her.
Of course, unlike the fans who would always put in a good word for Lin Shanchu, the netizens had been showing mixed attitudes towards her. [Sister Rabbit, congratulations for your endorsement.]
[My favorite clothing brand is endorsed by someone I like. Go!]
[Isn’t this brand very cautious when choosing their endorser? Now, they are shameless for the sake of popularity and even want someone like Lin Shanchu to be their endorser?]
[Lin Shanchu’s assistant is Tang Qidai’s assistant. She stole Tang Qidai’s things and even insulted her behind her back. That’s why Tang Qidai couldn’t help but hit her that day. That’s the truth.]
Lin Shanchu read the last comment carefully a few times.
No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem like a normal netizen’s comment.
Lin Shanchu swiped down and saw a few more identical comments.
Did Tang Qidai hire Internet trolls?
It seemed that she still had not given up.
She even hired the Internet trolls to test the public’s attitude and find out if they could stir up a storm.
Unfortunately, without Lu Shiyuan’s help, what could Tang Qidai achieve?
She had hired Internet trolls to stir up trouble online, but it just sank like a lead balloon and could not make waves.
Lin Shanchu sent a screenshot to Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng called her very quickly.
“Since two days ago, I noticed some Internet trolls have been posting these comments on Weibo. Tang Qidai probably still hasn’t given up and wants to stir up trouble to affect your reputation. I’ve already gotten people to pay attention to it. Don’t worry, rest early tonight. You still have to go for the photoshoot tomorrow morning.”
“Alright.”
Qi Cheng was really a very capable manager. He handled the matter properly without saying a word.
Since Tang Qidai had been hiring Internet trolls to stir up trouble two days ago, wouldn’t she go crazy when she Lin Shanchu’s announcement about the endorsement?
Lin Shanchu’s intuition told her that Tang Qidai was still up to something.
“Sister Lin, it’s time for dinner.”
He Xiang’s voice came from the dining room.
Lin Shanchu sat down at the table and watched He Xiang busy serving the dishes.
He Xiang noticed her gaze. “Sister Lin, why are you looking at me like that?”
“I’ve seen the comments posted by the Internet trolls on Weibo.” Lin Shanchu did not say the content of the comments directly, but when she saw a slight change in He Xiang’s expression, she knew that she had made the right guess.
He Xiang’s abnormality these two days was really because of the comments of the Internet trolls.
Lin Shanchu did not say anything to comfort her. Instead, she said, “Brother Qi will handle this matter.”
He Xiang shook her head and said seriously, “I just feel that I’ve implicated you.”
Lin Shanchu was slightly startled.
She thought that He Xiang was upset because of the comments of the Internet trolls.
“Even without you, Tang Qidai would still think of ways to go against me. I have to thank you for making her suffer such a great loss this time.”
He Xiang relaxed and smiled.
Early next morning, Qi Cheng came to pick Lin Shanchu up and headed to the studio.
She was going to stay in the studio for the whole day.
Qi Cheng only had Lin Shanchu as the only artist now, so he had plenty of time and also stayed in the studio for the whole day.
Even if he had to leave halfway, he would be back in an hour at most.
When they were resting after dinner, Qi Cheng told Lin Shanchu that it would be over by 9:00 p.m.
“Okay.” Lin Shanchu woke up and went out at 5:00 a.m. She was already a little tired after the whole day.
He Xiang could tell that she was tired and walked over to help her relax with a simple massage.
Once the break time was over, Lin Shanchu pulled herself together and got back to work.
When the photoshoot was almost over, Lin Shanchu inadvertently glanced at
Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng happened to go out to answer the phone.
Lin Shanchu cooperated with the cameraman to change her posture and avert her gaze.
The photoshoot ended ten minutes later.
Qi Cheng had already returned. He grimaced while holding his phone in his hand.
He Xiang walked over and asked a few questions. Then, her expression changed all of a sudden.
The staff member beside Lin Shanchu said to her, “Teacher Lin, good job.” Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and replied, “Good job, everyone.”
After briefly saying a few words to the staff, Lin Shanchu walked over to Qi Cheng.
Before Lin Shanchu could ask a question, Qi Cheng took the initiative and said, “Something bad happened.”
It seemed that it was a serious matter as Qi Cheng’s expression even changed.
Qi Cheng immediately continued, “Kong Suyi is dead and is on the trending search list.”
Lin Shanchu frowned. “How did he die?” She was Tang Qidai’s manager.
She died at this critical juncture.
If it was an ordinary accident, it definitely would not have become a trending topic.
She probably died in a strange way.
Qi Cheng lowered his voice and said four words, “Suicide due to cyberbullying..”
