Early the next morning, Tang Shu arrived at classroom No. 2 in the teaching building ten minutes before class began.
As soon as she walked in, she noticed that everyone was looking at her with an inexplicably strange expression.
Glancing over at her two roommates, Cheng Ranran was pouting as if she had suffered some significant grievance, and even Ye Xiaohui, normally known for her rationality, had a bad look on her face.
This scene felt vaguely familiar...
Tang Shu walked over and sat down in the empty seat beside them.
Cheng Ranran hesitated, "Shushu, have you seen the news online yet?"
"Not yet, what’s up?"
Even though a mobile phone had become an essential item to carry at all times, old habits die hard, and Tang Shu really didn’t have an interest in gossiping.
"Isn’t it all about the role of Shen Siyi? The internet is in an uproar now, does your PR team at the company have any good strategies to deal with this?"
"The company hasn’t called me yet, they should... be able to solve it?"
Tang Shu said uncertainly, pulling out her phone to start searching for news about herself, and soon understood what was going on.
Influential social media accounts exposed that Starshine Media invested in "You Look Beautiful When You Smile" and became the biggest investor, throwing a lot of money to secure the Female Lead No.2 role for themselves. Most of the online discussions suggested... she had an ambiguous relationship with the Starshine Boss.
What was ambiguous here? Weren’t both of those her?
Tang Shu had a face full of disbelief and thought to herself that imagination could indeed be terrifying.
In addition, Vast Entertainment, previously mocked by netizens, now garnered everyone’s understanding and managed to gain a lot of positive sentiment.
What’s more miraculous was that the former loser, Zeng Xiumin, suddenly turned into a victim; last night, she even posted on social media saying "A little setback is nothing, I will continue to work hard and conquer the audience with my talent," a motivational statement.
Living up to expectations, her magnanimity and positive attitude won the favor of a batch of netizens, and her fanbase saw a significant increase.
Moreover, the phrase "conquer the audience with my talent" became the most underscored bonus point, especially since it contrasted with Tang Shu’s "talents," which were entirely focused on her rumored romantic news with the Starshine Boss.
In the end, Tang Shu received a wave of kicks from the netizens when she was down.
She opened her Weibo and found that the latest comments were basically demanding she leave the entertainment industry and not come out to harm others anymore.
[Capital is invincible, it’s a shame for such a pretty face, the ugliness inside can no longer be covered.]
[Tang Shu, do you have anything to say now?]
[I used to be impressed by her looks, but I never expected her to fall to such a degree at such a young age.]
[That photo of her in sportswear during the auditions already showed her attitude was off, and now that the truth has come out, she has no defense.]
[Get out of the entertainment industry, acting still requires acting skills, okay? Stop pulling these stunts!]
With too many negative reviews, Tang Shu’s original two million-plus fans indeed had some Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today!
And she could only see one or two of them after refreshing several times.

[Yeah, we’re quietly waiting for our Uncle Tang to speak out and clarify.]
[Uncle, show them what you’re made of. We believe in you!]
