Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 1014 - 1013: The Public Opinion Storm

In the Rolls-Royce, looking at the long line of cars ahead, Ning Xiaoyue almost broke down; this was a disaster.

Her assistant, staring at his phone, suddenly said, "There's something worse than the traffic jam; some marketing accounts online are spreading rumors about you, guessing your whereabouts. They're saying you're skipping work to please a rich tycoon, that you're acting like a diva."

What?

Ning Xiaoyue's face changed. She took the phone to check and saw, just as her assistant said, the rumors were already flying all over the internet, with netizens mocking her in every possible way.

Reading these malicious comments, Ning Xiaoyue finally collapsed, bursting into tears. It was too difficult for her; she was obviously kidnapped by Liu Jinwei and was a victim herself. Yet now, she was being accused of being a diva and attacked by people who knew nothing of the truth.

These netizens, why don't they try to understand the truth first? Before anything is clear, they just start attacking her. Do they really think of themselves as paragons of justice?

Lin Fan sneered, "Paragons of justice? They're just keyboard warriors. Keyboard warriors are easily swayed and form wrong opinions. This happens often online. When something happens, before the truth comes out, netizens start violently attacking one side. When things turn around, they're left with egg on their faces. Then they switch sides like weather vanes, attacking the other side. Keyboard warriors are always right."

Dealing with keyboard warriors, Lin Fan's usual approach was to treat what they said as crap, because as long as he did the right thing, he didn't have to bother about them.

The ones to deal with are those causing trouble behind the scenes. Who bought those marketing accounts to spread rumors about Ning Xiaoyue?

Lin Fan picked up the phone and called Du Tao.

"Old Du, what's going on online?" Lin Fan asked.

Du Tao, already aware of the rumors, said, "Those marketing accounts look familiar. I checked around; they're not under our control, and belong to another power, Mr. Lin. These marketing accounts belong to Cherry Entertainment."

Lin Fan chuckled, "No surprise there, others should be surprised. Wei Jiansheng won't rest until he ruins Xiaoyue; he's doing this just to piss me off."

Du Tao asked, "Mr. Lin, how should we counterattack now? Please instruct us."

Du Tao also wanted to help Ning Xiaoyue, but since Lin Fan arrived in Hang City, he had taken charge of the issue personally, and Du Tao wasn't sure of the situation to offer help.

Lin Fan said, "I'm sending Xiaoyue to Jiangnan Satellite TV; there's a little situation now. Old Du, I need you to do something..."

After explaining the situation, Lin Fan hung up the phone.

Then, the vehicles blocking the way up ahead finally began to move; traffic started to clear.

Lin Fan thought to himself, "What are the odds that the road to Jiangnan Satellite TV won't have more jams?"

In reality, at this time, still during rush hour, Jiangnan Satellite TV was in the busiest part of Hang City. The probability of not getting blocked was about zero, meaning it was definitely impossible for there not to be a jam; they were certainly going to be late.

Luckily, Lin Fan had a way to avoid traffic jams.

"Activate top-level Koi Carp Luck!" Lin Fan silently chanted in his mind, initiating the luck mode, then stepped on the accelerator, speeding ahead.

Jiangnan Satellite TV, in the live broadcast room.

Because of Ning Xiaoyue's absence, the comment section exploded.

"Ning Xiaoyue didn't come?"

"Acting like a diva?"

"Is she deliberately not coming?"

"Could she be sick?"

"Teammates aren't clear; surely it's not an illness. As for what it is, it's unknown."

"I have some gossip, don't know if I should share it..."

"What's the gossip? Spill it!"

Netizens were in heated discussions, and some began spreading rumors and stirring the pot.

The host, He Huo, said curiously, "Xiaoyue didn't come, and none of you eight know where she is?"

The eight members all shook their heads, "We don't know either."

He Huo said, "I noticed some comments from netizens in the live chat, and here I want to remind everyone not to randomly speculate until the truth is clear. I can only say Xiaoyue must have been delayed by something, so she couldn't make it."

As soon as these words were out, netizens weren't buying it.

"You all don't know what it is, and you won't let us speculate?"

"Anyway, I saw the gossip from the marketing accounts, not something I started."

"Whether Ning Xiaoyue is unprofessional will soon be clear."

"Right, someone like Ning Xiaoyue can pull off anything!"

"She shouldn't have debuted, such a useless person who can't do anything!"

Netizens exploded, all centered around Ning Xiaoyue.

This made host He Huo a bit embarrassed, and the other eight members were a bit embarrassed too. Everyone was focused on Ning Xiaoyue, talking about Ning Xiaoyue, making them seem non-existent. Sure enough, whether Ning Xiaoyue was present or not, she was always the center of public attention.

Sometimes, a celebrity fears not being talked about, whereas Ning Xiaoyue appeared to naturally draw attention, always sparking discussion. Although most of the comments about her from netizens were negative, it ironically made Ning Xiaoyue famous.

Seeing the netizens' comments.

Wei Jiansheng laughed; he felt the time was ripe for releasing the slander articles against Ning Xiaoyue.

Wei Jiansheng picked up his phone, intending to make a call.

Yet right then.

"Hi, everyone. Sorry, the traffic was a bit heavy, I got here a bit late." A voice suddenly said.

Then someone walked into the live broadcast room.

Ning Xiaoyue!

Huh?

Everyone was stunned; seeing Ning Xiaoyue appear had everyone in shock.

Ning Xiaoyue actually came?

With a smile on her face, Ning Xiaoyue waved and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Ning Xiaoyue."

Host He Huo couldn't help jumping up, clapping his hands with a laugh, "Hahaha, great, Xiaoyue finally made it, this is great, come over and have a seat, tell everyone why you were late?"

Ning Xiaoyue walked over to sit down and said, "It's a long story, our company will issue a statement later to explain the situation. I really didn't mean to be late. I'm sorry for making everyone worry, very sorry."

He Huo laughed, "It's alright, Xiaoyue making it here shows Xiaoyue's fine; some earlier rumors can be laid to rest. I said, don't spread rumors, everyone."

Darn it!

Watching the live broadcast, Wei Jiansheng's hand, intended to make a call, froze. He gnashed his teeth; Ning Xiaoyue unexpectedly appeared at the last moment. How was that possible?

Weren't they supposed to be stuck in traffic?

Wei Jiansheng probably never dreamed Lin Fan had top-level Koi Carp Luck to rewrite reality, making tonight's traffic in Hang City exceptionally smooth... 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Looks like Wei Jiansheng's slander articles couldn't be released after all.

While Wei Jiansheng was feeling displeased, suddenly, his phone rang.

"What? What did you say? What's happened with Yi Dance?" Wei Jiansheng's expression suddenly changed.

Ning Xiaoyue safely navigated a crisis, but Wei Jiansheng never expected that an issue arose with Hua Yiwu, that a trending topic about Hua Yiwu suddenly emerged.

A storm sweeping the entertainment circle had begun.
