Chapter 145 The Madam is Right
Shen Yuege's Weibo post received over 100,000 reposts in less than ten minutes.
The netizens who were initially criticizing the attack were also stunned.
They were indignantly criticizing the love triangle between Lu Ran, Shen Yuege, and Liu Siqi, but now they realize it was all a misunderstanding.
As a result, the comments section presented a bizarre phenomenon of extreme polarization—
[Blessing Party]
"Holy crap! My favorite couple actually became a real couple?! And they're even married?!?"
"So Lu Ran is actually Shen Yuege's husband?! What kind of wish-fulfillment plot is this?!"
"They got married six months ago... so all those songs were written for his wife? That's so sweet!"
"I think Liu Siqi's Weibo post is so cool, 'I pursued her, but she rejected me,' you're so bold! I wish you find your true love soon."
"Am I the only one who thinks this is romantic? Lu Ran secretly wrote so many songs for his wife under the pseudonym 'Tomorrow,' what an amazing love story!"
[The Skeptics]
"Why announce it now of all times? Was it to suppress the scandal?"
"A contract marriage, right? That's standard practice in the entertainment industry. Would a real couple keep it a secret for this long?"
"Liu Siqi said she pursued Lu Ran, so how do you explain the photos of them hugging at the coffee shop? Even if they were just friends, that's way too intimate, isn't it?"
"Let the dust settle; there's more to come."
[Fun Party]
"So Lu Ran is the real mastermind? He single-handedly made two superstars famous, one of whom is his own wife?"
"As far as I know, Starlight Entertainment got their hands on this smear campaign. Starlight Entertainment probably won't be able to sleep tonight, right? They spent a lot of money on this smear campaign, only to have it destroyed by a marriage certificate."
"The Voice of Heaven program team: Thank you both for your outstanding contributions to the ratings!"
"Am I the only one who noticed the wedding date was six months ago? So Lu Ran was already Shen Yuege's husband when he first joined Xingyao? Holy crap, is this secretly married tycoon experiencing life at the grassroots level?"
……
In the director's office of Starlight Entertainment, Zhou Zhixiong, the executive director of Starlight Entertainment, stared at the computer screen with a livid face.
The wine glass in his hand creaked as he gripped it.
Just half an hour ago, he was humming a tune happily as he watched the barrage of criticism under the trending topic of "love triangle".
In the past six months, Xingguang has suffered many setbacks against Xingyao, and has not gained any advantage against Shen Yuege either.
Now it seems that Lu Ran was the mastermind behind it all.
He bought these photos from paparazzi at a high price, intending to deliver a heavy blow to Liu Siqi and Shen Yuege when they were at their most triumphant.
Everything was going smoothly at first, and even though most netizens were taking a wait-and-see approach, he still hired more and more online trolls to stir up trouble.
I didn't expect Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi to react so quickly, and so ruthlessly!
Shen Yuege immediately produced her marriage certificate.
It's important to understand that at Shen Yuege's level, even if she were truly married, she would try her best to keep it a secret, as this could potentially lead to a significant loss of her fans.
As for Liu Siqi, she actually admitted that she had pursued Lu Ran before.
Are these two women crazy? Do they realize how many male fans they'll lose by doing this?!
"Director, what do we do now?" the assistant asked cautiously. "The online trolls are still stirring things up, but the voices of blessing are getting louder and louder..."
"Keep bringing him! Keep bringing him!" Zhou Zhixiong slammed his wine glass on the table. "Focus all your firepower on Lu Ran! Say he's a gigolo, a womanizer, and a liar who lied to his fans about his marriage! Concentrate all your firepower on him!"
"But Lu Ran hasn't said anything yet... Should we wait and see?"
"It doesn't matter whether he speaks up or not!" Zhou Zhixiong sneered. "A man who got to where he is today because of a woman, whatever he says is wrong!"
He opened Weibo, switched to his alternate account, and personally commented:
"If Lu Ran hadn't relied on Shen Yuege, would he be where he is today? The team behind 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' might even have been found for him by Shen Yuege! What a gigolo!"
The page suddenly froze right after I sent it.
After refreshing, a new trending topic suddenly appeared at number one:
#Lu Ran: My wife is right#
Zhou Zhixiong's eyelids twitched, and he clicked on it.
Lu Ran's Weibo account, the one that usually only reposts works and almost never posts personal updates, has been updated:
"@Lu Ran: My wife @Shen Yuege is right. Three additional points:"
The marriage is real, but the dating started even earlier.
@Liu Siqi is a very good friend and business partner. Thank you for your trust.
Regarding "relying on women"—all my works are open to scrutiny by anyone at any time. If it is found that any of them were not independently completed by me, I will permanently retire from the entertainment industry.
Finally, thank you all for your attention. Next week is the final of "The Voice of China," and I'll be in the audience cheering for my wife. PS: If she wins, I'll personally cook her a celebratory feast and broadcast it live.
The comment section exploded instantly:
"Holy crap! Let's go head-to-head!"
"All my works are open to scrutiny... That's confidence! No wonder he's my idol!"
"Is it really that sweet? Is the student counselor here? I feel uneasy!"
"So Lu Ran and Shen Yuege's marriage was based on love, not a contract?"
"Isn't the key point that 'the relationship started even earlier'?! So Lu Ran was already with Shen Yuege before he became famous? That's true love!"
"Speak up, you haters! They're a loving couple, and their friends are open and honest. Why do you have to think of them as so despicable?"
"Am I the only one who wants to see Lu Ran cook? He's the screenwriter of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' the original singer of 'Rice Fragrance,' and the lyricist and composer of so many songs... Now he's going to be a culinary artist too?"
Public opinion shifted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The passersby who were initially skeptical were stunned by Lu Ran's frankness and confidence.
Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi's fans, seeing their idols so frank, felt that they were genuine and authentic.
Coupled with the jubilation of CP fans and the encouragement of gossip enthusiasts, topics such as #ShenYuegeLuRanTrueLove# and #LuRanFightsHats# quickly rose to prominence.
Zhou Zhixiong trembled with anger as he watched the increasing number of congratulatory messages on the screen.
He grabbed his phone and dialed a number: "Keep buying trending topics! Keep 'Lu Ran, the gigolo' trending! I'll pay any price!"
A helpless voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Zhou, it's not about the money... Weibo just contacted us, saying that the entertainment section will be 'cleaning up' for the next week, and all obviously paid topics will be restricted."
"What?!" Zhou Zhixiong roared, "They dare!"
"This is what the higher-ups want to say," the other person said in a low voice. "Mr. Zhou, you should be extra careful these days."
Upon hearing the other person's words, Zhou Zhixiong loosened his grip, and the phone slipped onto the carpet.
He knew he had lost this round again.
We lost completely.
