Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 354 - 353: Give me another three million, and we’ll call it even
Chapter 354: Chapter 353: Give me another three million, and we’ll call it even
Granny Fu was famously overprotective in Capital City.
The standard for life was always that her own family could do no wrong, and others were right only at ordinary times; should anyone offend her family members, they were forever in the wrong.
Old Sir Fu had long since grown accustomed to it.
Yaoyu Han was waiting downstairs.
She too was quite anxious.
Since this morning, her mind buzzed uncontrollably, her actions slipping out of her grasp.
But now that she had calmed down, regret started to seep in.
After all, Brother Fu ignoring her and what happened with Sister Chi Gui had nothing to do with each other; she shouldn’t have stirred things up like that.
Upon seeing Granny Fu coming down from the building, Yaoyu Han quickly stood up and said, "Granny Fu, about that... I was at fault too, not just Brother Fu and Sister Chi Gui, please don’t blame them..."
After she finished speaking, she saw Granny Fu, with a smile beaming across her face, take her hand and sit down on the sofa, "It’s good that you think this way. I’ve asked Old Fu about the situation, and indeed, you did have some fault in this matter. Let me tell you, what you did this morning really wasn’t..."
Yaoyu Han listened to Granny Fu’s lengthy sermon: ??
Her mind began to buzz once again.
The footage of last night’s race, once uploaded online, was picked up by the national race team’s PR department, hiring internet "navy" forces to manipulate public opinion and subsequently setting the internet ablaze once more.
Bai Youyou was extolled as the "pride of the national team," and the persona constructed for her as someone who "gave up a promising future on the international circuit to bring honor to her country" attracted a massive following.
In contrast, Chi Gui, who had previously surged in popularity, became the target of ridicule.
Because of the spectacular performance by Chi Gui and Fu Si in the last race, most people were discussing them during the racing-free week.
Many fans who didn’t understand racing well, but simply thought the two were cool, hyped them up to the heavens.
Now, Chi Gui being left behind by Bai Youyou, using a professional cornering technique common in international races, immediately drew a considerable amount of mockery.
[Look, look! Where are those who were praising them before? Why aren’t they showing up now? A single professional driver’s trick, and your star can’t even keep up!]
[Heh, think you can be on the same level as a professional after beating Zhang Ziyuan, who’s barely considered a youth trainee?]
[Isn’t this what they call being taught a lesson within a minute?]
[To be honest, I never thought the skills of these two drivers were that special... Such a pity that I was too afraid to say anything because their fans were terrifying. Now, I can finally speak openly!]
There were also rational fans commenting: [None of the drivers claimed to be professionals, did they? It’s pretty normal for amateur racers not to match professional drivers, isn’t it? Why mock them like this?]
But such comments were quickly met with backlash, forcing the commenter to disable their replies and stay silent.
In no time, the hashtag #TheTwoGodlikeDriversOfTeamEGetOwned# surged to the top five trending topics.
Chi Mingkun, being a live-streamer and concerned with such matters, saw it first and was infuriated.
He took a screenshot and sent it to Chi Gui: [Huaxia Race Team has really gone too far! They want to promote Bai Youyou, why should they disparage you like this?!]
Being involved in the scene, Chi Mingkun certainly knew that without the national race team’s deliberate orchestration, fan comments alone couldn’t push the topic so high up on the trending list!
Chi Gui was sitting in her hospital office sorting files when she received the screenshot from Chi Mingkun. She raised an eyebrow and then checked the trending searches herself.
She replied to Chi Mingkun: [I know, thanks for letting me know, I’ll handle it immediately.]
Chi Mingkun: ?
He grew worried upon seeing Chi Gui’s response.
She wasn’t going to confront the executives of the national race team directly, was she?
He hastily asked: [How do you plan to handle this? Do you need my help?]
Even if it meant confronting the higher-ups, his presence would add more force to the argument.
However, Chi Gui didn’t respond.
After messaging Chi Mingkun, she leisurely sent a message to Guo Mingwei’s WeChat: [Boss, that’s crossing the line. Two million doesn’t include payment for my friend’s and my reputation. How about you consider adding another three million, and we call it even?]
