"Yan Weiyang must be choking up now. Spent a fortune on vote-buying but still can’t win."
Leng Yan said gloatingly, his legs crossed, looking lazy and unrestrained, without a shred of seriousness.
Ha! Yan Weiyang, that piece of work, actually dared to compete with Xia Weibao for the first beauty title. Does she really think the audience is blind?
If Yan Weiyang got the first beauty title, it must be an inside job!
Xia Shi just smiled, not saying a word.
Xia Weibao continued to browse; the internet was flooded with reports about the entertainment industry’s first beauty list.
Though the list didn’t offer any tangible rewards, the ensuing butterfly effect was astounding.
In the Chinese Music Industry, no one could rival her!
Even her Weibo followers surged rapidly.
Her value, naturally, skyrocketed too.
Xia Weibao watched for a while, then checked other trending topics and discovered Meng Songbai had followed her and even shared her live stream.
The commotion this caused was huge, although not quite the effect of the first beauty title, but no less impressive.
The audience has a certain reverence for literati.
Perhaps it’s due to their own lack of culture, hence a special fondness for a scholarly atmosphere, feigned elegance.
Thinking about the call with Meng Songbai on the way, Xia Weibao blushed slightly.
She actually mistook a great calligrapher for a fraud, not knowing how to excuse herself. Fortunately, she was a well-mannered lady; even if the other person was a con artist, she didn’t curse them out.
Otherwise, how embarrassing would that be.
Should she call to apologize? On second thought, better not bother, as she really has no interest in calligraphy.
Might as well leave him alone.
She casually clicked on the topic of Yan Weiyang insulting traditional culture, discovering the debate beneath was like an annual drama!
Yan Weiyang really doesn’t know if she’s foolish, daring to say such things, especially under those circumstances and using her main account—imagine the consequences.
Her reputation’s completely ruined.
However, Empire Entertainment’s PR department quickly formulated a counter-strategy, claiming Yan Weiyang’s account was hacked...
Xia Weibao was drinking water; a mouthful sprayed out directly!
"Wow, Empire Entertainment’s PR department must be at its wit’s end, coming up with such an excuse. That’s quite damaging."
Leng Yan glared at her, "Do you think Empire Entertainment’s PR department is joking? They’re the ones famously adept at flipping black and white in the entertainment circle.
Though the PR effort seems weak, they’ve got thick skins, directly slinging mud at you, yet you laugh."
Xia Weibao batted her lashes, "What does this have to do with me? Why are they throwing mud at me?"
Xia Shi raised her head from a stack of scripts, calmly added a jab, "Maybe they think your tendency to attract controversy makes you a suitable scapegoat."
Xia Weibao, "..." She was genuinely speechless.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already instructed the PR department to hire cyber warriors to fight back for you."
Leng Yan said coldly, given Xia Weibao had already won all the awards she was supposed to, it was her time to forge ahead fiercely; she couldn’t be bogged down by these people!
Xia Weibao raised an eyebrow, preparing to watch this saliva-spitting battle unfold.
Empire’s cyber army claimed, "Regarding the incident of Yan Weiyang openly insulting traditional culture as garbage, it was not her doing; rather, her Weibo account was hacked, and we’ve sought help from Weibo customer service, currently resolving the issue."
Hongtu’s cyber army retorted, "Heh, of all accounts, it’s Yan Weiyang’s that gets hacked, and of all targets, Xia Weibao gets attacked? Why choose this moment right when Xia Weibao’s about to secure the first beauty title in the entertainment industry? Pfft."
