Xiao Wenqiang was speechless. She clicked on "Weishuo" to comment and found that the message had quickly caused a stir.
"What? Stealing trash? Did I read that right!!!"
"Ew~ What kind of pervert is this! Our Chen Bao is so dangerous~"
"Isn't this eighteenth-tier actress the one named Su Ling? I felt uncomfortable looking at her photo before!"
"Hahaha, I thought she was quite pretty looking at her photo before, with a refreshing feeling! Are you sure the one upstairs isn't jealous of her beauty?"
"No matter how pretty she is, a pervert is still a pervert~ Just thinking about filming with someone like that makes my hair stand on end!"
"Could there be a misunderstanding~ This young lady doesn't look like a pervert at all~"
"Perverts don't write 'pervert' on their faces, just like bad guys don't carve 'bad guy' on their heads!"
"I just want to know how she got into the Best Actor's car, could it be~~~ hehe~~~ dddd"
"The one upstairs is a pervert, please don't involve our Chen Bao, we're not interested in the Best Actor~"
"Exactly, our Chen Bao is not like you perverts!"
"Still calling him Chen Bao? Go tell him that to his face and see if he responds!"
"This is an affectionate nickname our fans gave him, what business is it of yours, you perverts!"
"I just can't stand a grown man being called 'Bao', do we not have the right to speak?"
"The few people upstairs, have we gone off-topic? Aren't we discussing why Su Ling went to the Best Actor's car to steal trash?"
"I think we shouldn't spread rumors without evidence, many marketing accounts are unreliable these days!"
"The photos are taken continuously like a video, what other evidence do we need?"
"Exactly, and that car is indeed our Chen Bao's, we fans absolutely won't mistake it!"
"Speaking of which, could it be that the Best Actor asked the actress to help him throw away trash~ After all, trash can easily get smelly in the car when it's hot~ Don't ask me how I know~"
"Doesn't the Best Actor have an assistant? Does he need an actress he's not very familiar with to help him throw away trash? Are you Su Ling's alt account~"
"Aren't they in the same drama crew? Maybe they're quite close~ Disclaimer, I'm just a passerby~"
"Why is everyone assuming that bag is trash? Could it be something else~"
"It's only the first day of official filming, how close can they be? It must be this Su Ling who somehow got the Best Actor's car keys and secretly got in~"
"If it's not trash, then she stole our Chen Bao's personal belongings? That makes Su Ling even more of a pervert~ Stealing is illegal!"
"How can such a perverted person be allowed to stay in the crew, letting her play Meng Wan even defiles the role of the courtesan, quickly blacklist her!"
"Expel the pervert, blacklist Su Ling!"
"Expel the pervert, blacklist Su Ling! +1"
...
"Expel the pervert, blacklist Su Ling! +100"
...
"Expel the pervert, blacklist Su Ling! +10086"
...
The subsequent comments were all about blacklisting Su Ling, with a few irrelevant messages interspersed. The more Xiao Wenqiang read, the more annoyed she became, and she finally closed the comments, deciding to ignore what she couldn't see.
However, at this time, her "Weishuo" private message inbox also started to receive a flood of messages. In a moment, the little red notification mark changed from no messages to "+99". Xiao Wenqiang clicked on the first few to check and found they were still hateful messages, so she simply deleted all the messages and turned off her "Weishuo" comment function.
In just one day, public opinion on the internet turned completely against Su Ling, with endless骂. If the name "Su Ling" was mentioned, it would definitely be followed by words like "stealing trash" and "pervert." Even if people didn't know about it originally, they would quickly be informed by their friends, as if insulting Su Ling had become a peculiar trend.
[Wenqiang, don't be sad. These internet trolls are mindless and just follow the herd. The original Su Ling committed suicide because of such public opinion back then. Don't let these people affect you.] Number 86365 appeared again at a critical moment, very worried that Xiao Wenqiang would also fail the mission due to unbearable cyberbullying.
However, Xiao Wenqiang didn't take these remarks to heart. She hadn't left her hotel room all day. As long as she didn't go online, these curses couldn't harm her. Ultimately, it's only when you care too much that you get affected. She replied to 86365, "It's okay. If you don't respond to this kind of thing, other news will cover it in a few days. People's online memories are very short."
Meanwhile, at the "Xuan Yuan Legend" film crew, Situ Chen finished filming for the day at 2 AM. As the male lead, his scenes were naturally more numerous. Furthermore, there were inevitably some minor issues between him and his co-stars, requiring reshoots for side profiles and close-ups, which led to his usual late finish time.
Situ Chen got into his RV to return to the hotel. Assistant Xiao Yang, who was also driving, kept glancing at the person behind him in the rearview mirror. Seeing him resting with his eyes closed, he hesitated to speak several times.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Situ Chen, who had been with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke.
"Boss, that... Teacher Su today, oh no, it's yesterday, she's trending." Xiao Yang was startled by the sudden question, thinking the other person was asleep.
Situ Chen opened his eyes and asked with a frown, "What about?"
"Someone took photos of her getting out of your RV and exposed them online. Now everyone is calling her a... pervert who steals trash," Xiao Yang said in a low voice, uttering the last few words.
Situ Chen was also stunned by this unexpected answer. He then reached for his phone, which he hadn't touched all day, and pressed the power button.
Thus, at 2:35 AM, the still-awake night owl netizen "Cha Bu Yu" was the first to see the latest "Weishuo" post from Best Actor Situ Chen: I merely lent my RV to a co-star to change out of wet clothes. Don't believe rumors, don't spread them!
Within minutes, countless night owls saw Situ Chen's message. The "Weishuo" platform, at this time of night when most people were asleep, once again became noisy.
"So we misunderstood. Those trash marketing accounts made it up~"
"We believe the Best Actor, believe Chen Bao, we believe everything Chen Bao says!"
"Now marketing accounts will do anything for clicks!"
"Why would the Best Actor lend his RV, such a private space, to an actress who has only filmed for one day? It's hard not to let people imagine things~"
"The one upstairs, don't be so dark-minded, our Chen Bao is just very gentlemanly~"
"Only you brainless fans would believe this story. I bet my bottom dollar there's an improper relationship between these two~"
"Haha, that's right, the Best Actor is a man too~ And this Su Ling looks very beautiful, is he perhaps using his status to get close to her~"
"Could it be that they are just dating normally? After all, he's handsome and she's beautiful, they look like a good match~"
"Actually, I'm shipping them a little too. The two most visually appealing people in the drama, they look great together~"
"We're taking Chen Bao away. Our Best Actor wouldn't be interested in a woman in the entertainment industry who only has a pretty face and no brain!"
...
When Xiao Wenqiang woke up, before she could catch up on the latest public opinion, she received a phone call from someone.
