After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 579 has absolutely nothing to do with it.

"Tell me about it."

As Ye Sanqing spoke, he had Xiaochong pull up the private message and handed the phone to Sheng Hanyu.

Sheng Hanyu immediately understood the situation, and he also found it somewhat ridiculous...

This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one.

It's almost certainly the work of a sasaeng fan. The deliberately blurred, candid shot effect could very well be AI-generated.

The photo itself isn't the key; the caption accompanying the post is.

What Gu Lin did is not important; what matters is what people think he did.

This trick isn't new, but it works.

After all, clarifying rumors is always difficult, especially in today's online environment. Some people will immediately unfollow you if they see such rumors, and it's not so easy to get them back after that.

Can idols not have any flaws...?

This statement is self-evident, but the question is, what exactly is the definition of a "stain"? Does it mean doing something really bad, or doing something that displeases them?

Sheng Hanyu thought to herself, "Thank goodness I'm not going down the idol route, it's exhausting."

But I didn't expect these people to get so worked up just because Ye Sanqing retweeted a Weibo post supporting "being yourself"...

This only happens to top celebrities like Gu Lin. Ye Sanqing's friendly interactions with other female celebrities on Weibo didn't cause this kind of consequence.

On second thought, it makes sense; they might genuinely be afraid that Gu Lin and Ye Sanqing would get involved.

Even the most clueless person would know that with Ye Sanqing's background and wealth, if she really had a preference for keeping someone as a kept woman, that person could easily leave the entertainment industry at any time.

That's why they're so anxious.

Sheng Hanyu returned the phone to Ye Sanqing, took out her own phone and looked at it; Gu Lin's Weibo post was indeed gaining popularity.

He also noticed that Cheng Yanye had liked the post... Why did this guy suddenly become so active at a time like this?

"My idea is to completely ignore it. After all, I haven't done it."

Although Gu Lin's expression wasn't very good, his speech was relatively calm. As for his approach to the situation, since he hadn't done anything wrong, there wasn't much of a problem.

But Ye Sanqing wanted more than just "no major problems".

To be honest, she could have stayed out of it. She brought Sheng Hanyu along to see how Gu Lin would handle the situation.

Given the consideration of signing him in the future, crisis management is certainly a very important factor to consider.

At least for now, he seems to be in a relatively stable state of mind.

Unfortunately, the creative aspects...

Gu Lin wasn't entirely unaware of Ye Sanqing's intentions. His first purpose today was to apologize for disturbing her. His second purpose wasn't to show off or try to get closer to her, but rather to demonstrate his ability to handle the situation.

However, the expression on her face is really hard to analyze...

"I think we should just let them escalate the situation."

Just as Gu Lin was thinking this, he heard Sheng Hanyu say something.

An unexpected hint of approval flashed in Ye Sanqing's eyes.

It seems that even things that are difficult for him to analyze are easily analyzed by others.

"Can you tell me more about it?"

Since that's the case, Gu Lin humbly inquired about Sheng Hanyu's situation.

It's not that he lacks creativity, but rather that he believes his method is the least effortful. Moreover, Sheng Hanyu had just told him things like losing low-quality fans is fine, so he also felt that... if you believe any random photo someone posts, then you might as well not have those fans.

Besides, there's absolutely no point in this matter that he can compromise on, which is what's most frustrating about him...

The other party is threatening him to sever ties with Ye Sanqing, but the problem is that there is no relationship at all, so how can he sever ties?

"It's very simple. Just let them grow bigger and then clarify things after their influence expands. You'll then become the one who was persecuted or, as some might say, kidnapped by the rules."

Sheng Hanyu explained.

Because everything about Gu Lin is very abstract, such as being bound by a persona or not being able to be himself, it's actually difficult for fans to understand.

Some people need to see concrete harm occur before they can understand that some things can truly cause harm.

To give a somewhat inappropriate example, everyone knows that playing with fire is dangerous, but some people only realize this after they have been burned themselves or seen others being burned by fire.

After all, if people could truly understand the danger just by talking about it, there wouldn't be so many fires every year...

"You mean I should make my predicament crystal clear to everyone? And maybe even go fishing?"

Gu Lin reacted quickly; he immediately understood what Sheng Hanyu meant.

The principle is easy to understand, but putting it into practice is not so easy.

It's safe to say that Sheng Hanyu truly loves fishing, and he definitely had this in mind.

"However, I might need Master Ye's help." He said, glancing at Ye Sanqing, who nodded.

Threatening private messages have been sent to her; ignoring them wouldn't be her style.

Although ignoring them wouldn't affect her interests, she couldn't just let these people act so arrogantly.

"For example, instead of just ignoring them, you should interact with them more and make it clear that you don't care about them at all. Even if you didn't care about them to begin with, you need to make sure they understand this message."

"Then wait for their anger to explode and they'll do something even more dangerous... Of course, there's a certain risk involved."

This is the part that's harder to assess.

There are definitely risks involved, after all, it wouldn't be surprising if overly emotional sasaeng fans did something.

Common incidents like car chases, breaking into private residences, throwing sulfuric acid, and poisoning should all be considered part of this type of risk...

However, it's always better to actively detonate a time bomb than to wait for it to explode on its own.

Because this kind of person will definitely not give up easily; if they can find Ye Sanqing today, they can find someone else tomorrow.

Ye Sanqing is someone who is willing to cooperate in handling this kind of thing; what about someone else?

It's uncertain what Gu Lin's situation will be at that time. If we don't resolve this now and instead leave this hidden danger, the risk will actually increase day by day.

Therefore, Sheng Hanyu believes that Gu Lin may not necessarily be unwilling, but rather lacks the courage to seize the opportunity.

Or perhaps they're simply too embarrassed to bother them.

However, there are many things in the world that are troubling, and if you don't do them because you're embarrassed, you often won't get the desired results.

To be more critical, Gu Lin had been in contact with them for quite some time, yet he still couldn't accurately assess their personalities, suggesting that his judgment of people might be flawed.

"I understand the risks."

For Gu Lin, the risk wasn't considered too great.

He had personally witnessed several of the things that obsessive fans had done...
