The vast number of netizens and his fans were deeply disgusted, and in a flash, they disowned him. The comments under his latest Weibo post were ablaze with insults, as he kept coming online, but like a turtle shrinking its head back, he didn’t dare to post a single Weibo.
In just over an hour, the situation fermented into a full-blown crisis and universal scorn, with all his fans deserting him.
Seeing the irrefutable evidence mounting up, Guangmei Media immediately released a statement terminating their contract with Meng Jin, followed by several products he endorsed also severing their ties.
It’s not terrible for a celebrity to be smeared, but what’s terrifying is when the scandal is nailed down as the truth, even the fans don’t believe in you, and the company doesn’t want you anymore.
This signifies that the star is utterly finished, with no possibility of a comeback, and might even end up heavily in debt.
Ye Xian never imagined that the person she hated so much in the morning, plotting revenge against, would be flat out dead by the afternoon. Could this be the so-called karmic retribution of the heavens? Do evil deeds and seal your own fate?
She was so happy that she pounded the bed, letting him harm her again, boasting to her with the notice? That’s right... didn’t Bo Tingshen choose him as the male supporting actor for "Conquest of the World"? Go ahead and choose, let him see how good his judgment is!
See if you dare not follow the crowd and break the contract with him!
Awesome! It’s simply too thrilling!
Ye Xian rolled around on the bed gleefully, and after a while, Chen Jiaxuan called her.
"Ye Xian, Ye Xian, you are so impressive. It’s simply so satisfying on Weibo. I’ve been laughing non-stop since I saw it. I used to think Meng Jin was just slick and oily, but besides harming you, he has done so many sickening things behind the scenes. Just thinking about the fake couple publicity he did with me makes my skin crawl with disgust!"
Ye Xian: "It’s indeed quite satisfying, but... what does it have to do with me?"
"Huh?" Chen Jiaxuan looked confused, "Weren’t you the one who exposed all this information?"
"Me? How could it be, where would I get that kind of capability?"
Even if she wanted to take revenge on Meng Jin, she wouldn’t be able to obtain such large-scale private photos and videos. Typically, people would hide these videos very securely, let alone celebrities.
Chen Jiaxuan: "It wasn’t you? Then who could it be? So many marketing accounts are posting it simultaneously, and the timing is synchronized. It clearly looks well-organized and premeditated, aiming to utterly destroy him."
Ye Xian hadn’t thought about this angle before, but now, reminded by Chen Jiaxuan, she too felt a chill down her spine.
Usually, celebrity scandals are exposed by paparazzo teams. Positive news might be spread after receiving money for promotion from the celebrities themselves or for clout-chasing and attracting traffic, while negative news is generally about making money. They would call the celebrity’s studio after obtaining scandalous material and then post teaser threats on Weibo, warning celebrities to pay up for the material. But in Meng Jin’s case, it was all being exposed at once, clearly aimed at his downfall rather than money.
Having access to so much private material and mobilizing hundreds of marketing accounts, the power behind this was not insignificant. Could it be... one of the wealthy women he had crossed?
As she thought about it, someone knocked at the door.
She hung up the phone, ran over to open it, and saw a hand reaching from the side of the door, holding a bunch of fresh and beautiful pink baby’s breath.
The thought flashed through her mind, and Ye Xian slammed the door shut instantly.
"To the cutest little..."
Ye Shaowen, who was about to surprise her, barely avoided hitting his nose on the door as he was cut off mid-sentence.
"Xiao Yezi, is this how you welcome your second brother?"
