More and more bystanders and spectators gathered to join the chaos, each adding their opinion, further escalating the trending topic. What could have been quickly suppressed on Weibo stayed trending for a full twenty-four hours.
This was a serious matter. It was no different from running around naked in the street and accepting everyone’s judgment!
Gu Pan’an angrily smashed things in the studio once again, and he began to blame his agent, “This is all your bad idea! What’s this nonsense about bundling sales? Now no one can escape. What are we going to do? I have to pay penalties for so many endorsements, and there’s a bunch of idiots online causing trouble…”
Mu Feng entered with red eyes, his voice choked with emotion as he asked Gu Pan’an, “What should we do? My Weibo is getting flooded with people saying I’ve dragged you down, saying I forced you into this, that it’s all my personal actions that led to this…”
The agent’s eyes flickered. He glanced at the lovesick Gu Pan’an and sighed. Even if this scandal passed, the title of ‘Film Emperor’ might not hold much value anymore.
It seemed like he would have to prepare an exit strategy for himself. This time, he could shift all the blame onto himself, but what about next time? People like him couldn’t be trusted to share success.
Both Gu Pan’an and Mu Feng stayed silent, hoping this would blow over soon.
After all, netizens had short memories, and they had spent money to buy trending topics for some entertainment news within the industry, so the issue seemed manageable.
Sure enough, the heat gradually subsided, and fans continued blindly following their idols. Some users, still feeling like victims, were trying to claim their rights online, hoping for an explanation, but no one paid attention.
Gu Pan’an and Mu Feng still posted apologies on Weibo, saying they would carefully review endorsement products in the future and promised not to disappoint their fans.
Although they lost some fans, some loyal followers forgave them.
On the surface, it seemed like Gu Pan’an and Mu Feng were unscathed, but in reality, the products they endorsed began to cancel their contracts, and the brands they worked with started downgrading. Gu Pan’an even threw a tantrum for a while.
Even Mu Feng dared not provoke him during this time.
As for Ren Xin, after continuously breaking big news, she had gained the title of “Master Gossip King.” Many studios contacted her under the guise of wanting to be friendly, hoping she would show them mercy.
Ren Xin waved her hand, indicating that she would see how things went. She wouldn’t wrong an innocent person, but she also wouldn’t let a bad person go!
She was still using the “Ren Xin, who’s all about nourishing,” account, but unlike before, she no longer frequently posted sugar for the ancient tomb CP. Instead, the content focused mainly on brainwashing.
Recently, the troublemaker informed her that Gu Pan’an, in order to recover some economic losses, had started to get some rich sponsors involved.
Ren Xin: “……..” Does this person have no bottom line?
The Troublemaker sneered, “There’s something even worse. Gu Pan’an even tried to persuade Mu Feng to join in, saying it was for his own good.”
Ren Xin: “???” Is morality really so easy to sweep aside?
“How do you know so much? Did you use some forbidden products to overhear?”
The Troublemaker continued, both loud and soft, “I have my channels. Don’t underestimate me!”
Tsk tsk… quite rebellious!
“Keep an eye on it. As long as it’s not a consensual, make sure to let me know, and I’ll step in.”
Though there was some supervision, Ren Xin still felt uneasy. What if there were innocent victims involved? If she knew about it, she would take precautions to prevent harm to the innocent.
Ren Xin continued rummaging through her little pocket.
Dragon Teeth, Dragon Blood? Useless.
Snake Skin? Impervious to knives and bullets? This could be used to make herself clothes, as ordinary people’s skin was too thin; she needed to enhance her self-protection.
Uh… Recoil Talisman? This works! It can make them suffer their own consequences!
Truth Talisman? Keep it, maybe it’ll be useful later!
Real-time Tracking Talisman?
This… this is better than the Troublemaker, right? It saves time and money. Recently, she’d sold a lot of gold ingots, all through black-market routes, at a low price.
Ren Xin looked at the several mountains of gold in her spatial ring, feeling a pang of heartache thinking about the spent gold.
It was mainly because her collection was so disorganized, she didn’t even know what she had. She would need to declutter when she had the time.
She is such a thrifty and practical ginseng~
