In his impression, he had even been somewhat excessively silent.
“Really?” A glimmer of light flashed in Mo Yunan’s eyes.
He was also good?
Jiang Chenxing nodded: “I never lie.”
In this world, the weak submit to the strong mostly for self-protection, which is understandable.
But some people, after gaining the protection of the strong, turn around and trample others who are also weak.
Although Mo Yunan had never helped him, at least he had not, like several other roommates, verbally attacked him to curry favor with Xia Qingfan or done disgusting little tricks behind his back.
Mo Yunan’s expression was complicated. In the end, he left only one sentence: “Thank you.”
Then he bowed deeply. “I’m sorry!”
Before Jiang Chenxing could speak again, he had already turned and left.
…
Mo Yunan posted a forty-minute audio recording on his personal Weibo.
Inside were the cold mockery from other dormmates toward Jiang Chenxing, along with Xia Qingfan’s threats, intimidation, humiliation, and insults.
The last two minutes were a conversation between him and Mo Yunan,
Xia: “How strong Jiang Chenxing is, after these episodes of recording, everyone has seen it. With someone like him blocking the way, you’re another step farther from a debut position. How about… we join forces to drive him out?”
Mo: “Ah? That… doesn’t seem very good, right?”
Xia: “What’s wrong with that? You should know competition is cruel; no success comes without blood.”
Xia: “Actually, whether he’s here or not doesn’t matter much to me, one of the six debut spots is definitely mine anyway. As for you… that’s hard to say.”
The anger that had been building earlier reached its limit at this final conversation, then with a bang,
It exploded instantly!
【Turns out character really has nothing to do with appearance, some people look glamorous on the outside but are already crawling with maggots inside.】
【What a perfect case of killing with a borrowed knife! @Xia Qingfan come out and face death!】
【This counts as inducing a crime, right? Call the police! Sentence him! Let him debut as center position in prison!】
【I’m crying so hard, why did such a good younger brother have to encounter this?】
【Netizens guessed right, the so-called chosen royal favorite is this Xia-something-fan】
【In the second episode his screen time was so excessive it made people sick】
【The neighboring forum already dug it up, Xia Qingfan is the biological nephew of the former station director of Blueberry TV, Zheng Qiushi】
【@Xia Qingfan you don’t need to rot, you’re already rotten to the core and stink!】
【The entertainment industry rejects such unethical idols. Please blacklist him, thank you!】
…
After posting the recording, Mo Yunan immediately followed with another long post.
It’s time to make the truth public.
At first, we came from all over the country and lived in the same dormitory. Everything was harmonious, until Jiang Chenxing displayed enormous talent and strength in the subsequent training…
In the article, Mo Yunan described in detail Xia Qingfan’s malicious targeting, humiliation, and slander toward Jiang Chenxing and several other strong contestants during the training period.
This included framing, malicious editing, and more.
All of it matched the related facts, invisibly further verifying the authenticity of what Mo Yunan said.
Although the trending searches stopped updating, the anger of the public still needed an outlet, so Xia Qingfan’s Weibo became the main battlefield.
Countless private messages fell like snowflakes. The sarcastic and insulting words he had once used toward Jiang Chenxing were now returned to him a thousandfold.
Xia Qingfan became a rat crossing the street, shouted at by everyone, and could only curl up at home, not daring to go out.
The third male role in a low-budget web drama that had already been negotiated also fell through.
Zheng Qiushuang, worried about her son, could not sleep all night and washed her face with tears every day.
She wanted to ask her younger brother for help as before, but when she picked up her phone, she remembered Zheng Qiushi had already been taken away for investigation and could hardly protect himself.
She had originally been a rural girl who dropped out early to support her family. Fortunately, her younger brother became successful; after he rose to prominence, she also lived a good life, eventually marrying into wealth and raising a son excellent in every way.
Over the years, under Zheng Qiushi’s protection, everything had gone smoothly for her, she was practically a winner in life, and the younger girls in the village all regarded her as a role model.
When her son became a big star in the future, she would be a “star mom,” even more glorious.
Unexpectedly, in a single night everything changed, her brother was investigated with a bleak future, her son was exposed and cursed by tens of thousands, yet her husband ignored everything and was passionately involved with a mistress outside.
Zheng Qiushuang’s world collapsed.
The glamorous surface was torn to pieces, and the son she had been proud of also fell into the mud.
She sat in the empty villa and cried loudly.
If she had known earlier… if she had known earlier… she should not have spoiled Xia Qingfan. Now she had harmed others, harmed herself, and harmed the entire family…
Unfortunately, regret came too late, there was no way to turn things around!
…
At the end of October, the investigation results regarding Zheng Qiushi were released and announced across the internet.
When sunlight shines over the earth, all shadows have nowhere to hide.
From then on, there was no such person left in the entertainment industry.
Two days later, Jiang Fuyue’s personal interview appeared on the headlines of major newspapers and the covers of magazines, and quickly swept the entire internet.
The host was the famous anchor Li Shanshui from the capital station, known for her sharp and professional interview style and her specialty, “death questions.”
What does that mean?
Guests who had one-on-one interviews with her were usually intimidated by her professionalism and rigor. They guarded themselves tightly, yet without exception she eventually broke through their defenses, leaving them speechless and socially embarrassed on the spot.
The most famous example was her interview with a professor from the Chinese literature department.
At first, the atmosphere was very harmonious. The two talked from poetry and prose to philosophy of life, almost becoming sworn friends on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Li Shanshui suddenly asked: “What do you think, when Yang Jiong invited Wang Bo for tea, was it green tea or black tea?”
The professor froze on the spot and only reacted after several seconds. Yang Jiong and Wang Bo referred to two members of the “Four Great Poets of the Early Tang,” both outstanding poets in ancient China.
The professor smiled calmly, confident, “Of course it was green tea. Black tea didn’t exist yet in the Tang Dynasty.”
Li Shanshui also smiled.
Because the answer was: Yang Jiong would never invite Wang Bo for tea!
Both became famous young, both were high-spirited, and both possessed outstanding poetic talent, but when rankings were made, Yang Jiong was placed after Wang Bo.
Yang Jiong was dissatisfied and said: “Shame to be before Lu, disgrace to be after Wang.”
With such dissatisfaction toward Wang Bo, how could Yang Jiong possibly invite him for tea?
The professor was stunned.
The audience was stunned.
Only the host still maintained her smile.
From that moment on, Li Shanshui instantly became a “mudslide” in the hosting world and a “ghost-fear” in academic circles.
No one knew which authority would be sniped by her next.
But the higher-ups particularly liked assigning her to interview scientific and academic figures.
The reason: to give the “bookworms” some stimulation and bring clarity back to academia.
And Li Shanshui did not disappoint, defeating one expert after another with her questions.
So much so that now, when academic bigshots heard her name, they ran away, who still dared accept an interview?
Li Shanshui felt very lonely.
In recent years, fewer and fewer scientists both interested her and were willing to accept her interviews.
Originally, interviewing Jiang Fuyue was not assigned to her, but after learning about it, she personally went to fight for it from her superiors.
Perfect score in the college entrance exam, champion in competitions, all-around genius, rising star in scientific research, winner of the Lasker Award at age twenty.
Oh, and Professor Xie Dingyuan’s girlfriend…
Any identity, any label, was enough to excite people.
After interviewing so many seniors and old men, the youngest still over thirty, suddenly encountering such a youthful and beautiful young woman, Li Shanshui had long been eager to make a move.
Previously, because of the Blueberry TV incident, the higher-ups delayed again and again, and Jiang Fuyue also seemed unwilling to accept the interview.
Li Shanshui feared the matter would fall through and repeatedly fought for it.
Finally, it was settled!
According to the standard process, before the formal interview, the host would provide the guest with an outline of questions so the guest could prepare in advance and avoid mistakes on the spot.
Li Shanshui: “Can we not give it?”
Tang Youtian had a headache: “What tricks are you planning again? Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Jiang Fuyue is…”
He paused.
Li Shanshui pressed: “What about her?”
Tang Youtian slowly said four words: “Unfathomable.”
Li Shanshui: “Pfft, really? What should I do? After hearing that, I’m even more interested in her.”
Tang Youtian: “Don’t be careless. She’s not like the people you interviewed before.”
“Alright, I’ll take the advice. Then about the outline…”
“No!” Tang Youtian rejected it immediately. “It must be given. Everything follows procedure.”
Li Shanshui curled her lips. Thinking of something, her eyes turned: “Fine, I’ll give it…”
As for how much to give and how to give it, that would be up to her.
Tang Youtian: “?” Why did the back of his neck suddenly feel drafty and chilly?
