Chapter 1550: Chapter 1550: The Background of the Xia Family

“You son of a turtle, you’re brain-damaged beyond redemption. I don’t know what word to use to describe you. Let’s just call you a paramecium. You seem like a single-celled organism with no brain or ability to think for yourself. And you call me a whitewasher? If I were a whitewasher, may your whole family’s ancestral graves explode!”

The two of them started arguing, no, they started cursing each other, without any courtesy, and also received a lot of likes from others. However, who was right and who was wrong seemed very clear.

Of course, some completely supported the bimbo. These people were not internet trolls. They just supported her, no matter what she did. There are quite a few such people on the internet and in real life as well.

They follow the crowd, generalize from a single point, lack thinking, live a complicated life, but have a simple mind.

At this time, it is impossible to mention the position. From Ye Fei’s perspective, he unconditionally supports Zhuo Feng’er. Moreover, the outbreak of this dispute is entirely due to the other side. The mistake is all on their side, so it is even more impossible to let the matter rest.

The internet was in an uproar. Platforms like Weibo experienced such a surge in traffic that their servers temporarily crashed, necessitating urgent repairs.

In the entertainment industry, connections and cliques are crucial. This is why many stars form close-knit groups, seeking mutual support in case of trouble.

Of course, this is an ideal scenario. In reality, it’s rare to find someone who will stand up for you when you’re in trouble.

After the fake video surfaced, surprisingly, five or six female entertainers spoke up in her defense, all without any prior communication with Zhuo Feng’er.

This was an extremely rare occurrence and somewhat touching. It wasn’t that standing up for someone at this time automatically made them a friend, but for Zhuo Feng’er, it was indeed a warm gesture.

As for the people speaking out, whose side they were on didn’t need to be considered or investigated for the time being.

Zhuo Feng’er simply thanked them in her heart and planned to return the favor when the opportunity arose.

A major entertainment influencer wrote a post, compiling all the events that had transpired so far into a collection for uninformed netizens to refer to. He didn’t take sides but simply organized the timeline of events. Naturally, those who read it would draw their own conclusions.

As a result, many people quickly understood what had happened and began to condemn Long Entertainment for going too far.

Hiring internet trolls to slander a comeback actress was something they could hardly believe the company would do.

It was truly despicable, unforgivably so! Many netizens were indignant, wishing they could personally step in to vent their anger on behalf of Zhuo Feng’er.

However, the situation was far from over. Within half a day, all the top actors, singers, and key personnel from Long Entertainment began posting on Weibo, seemingly in an attempt to seize the moral high ground.

This included the two popular young heartthrobs from their company. These two had managed to attract a large number of female fans with their looks and carefully crafted personas.

Their fans constantly posted their photos and videos on various platforms, shouting endearments like “husband” and other inappropriate terms.

As for their acting skills… well, what are acting skills?

The two young heartthrobs posted on Weibo one after another, with clear biases. One of them, W, directly criticized Zhuo Feng’er by name, saying, “The gap between big-budget movies and low-budget ones is enormous. In the film industry, you get what you pay for. If you can’t afford good actors, special effects, or a good script, the result will be criticized. There’s nothing unacceptable about that, and there’s no need for such hype!”

The other young heartthrob, Y, posted a piece of poetry, writing, “Beyond the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, fragrant grass to the sky!” The phrase “don’t want to be a lotus” (a play on words meaning “don’t want to be slandered”) was clearly aimed at Zhuo Feng’er.

Although he didn’t mention her name, as a contracted artist and one of the top male stars of Long Entertainment, a versatile talent in film, television, and music, his poem couldn’t be about anyone else.

The internet was once again in an uproar. If we don’t count duplicates, the combined fan base of these individuals could reach four to five hundred million.

Of course, you can’t calculate it this way, but four to five hundred million is equivalent to the number of internet users in the country, showing just how significant and widespread the impact of this incident was, truly unprecedented.

“The entertainment industry also values seniority and hierarchy. Let’s not talk about who’s right or wrong in that matter, but Y and W, you two have only been in the industry for a few years. How dare you evaluate a female entertainer like that? How dare you insult a senior? Especially W, you’ve spent a few years in South Korea, where they place even more emphasis on respecting seniors. Is that all you’ve learned in those years?”

“Mind your own business. My husband can learn whatever he wants. It’s not aimed at you. Who do you think you are? You’re just an idiot. If that woman dares to do it, we dare to curse her and we’ll do it with pleasure.”

“Exactly. The person leaving the comment is also an idiot. Do they think they’re the son of a tycoon? They want to meddle in everything. They should take a look at themselves first.”

It seemed that someone was keeping a little notebook, jotting down names, both from their side and the other side. Ye Fei had already gathered evidence.

The bald guy didn’t disappoint. He caught the person hiding in an office building who had uploaded the video. After a brief interrogation, they obtained some information.

This person was from Long Entertainment, and he had come up with the idea of slandering Zhuo Feng’er. He had seen the video on a forum and, coincidentally, there was a call to hire trolls to attack Zhuo Feng’er. So, he “had a bright idea” and spread the video.

However, he overlooked one thing. Although he was careful, he uploaded the video from an office building. Tracing the IP address made it easy to locate him.

For Ye Fei, this was a piece of cake. He even hacked into the guy’s computer and retrieved some evidence.

Having this evidence in hand was a trump card for the two of them, although not an absolute one.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhuo Feng’er received several phone calls, from friends and family. Everyone had learned about the incident through the internet.

Her friends expressed their support for Zhuo Feng’er and also hoped she would take care of herself. Friends, after all, should be concerned for each other’s well-being.

But some people, who were more in the know, had ambiguous attitudes. They actually advised Zhuo Feng’er to endure it and not overreact.

Zhuo Feng’er couldn’t understand this. After asking, they revealed the truth.

An elder from Xia Hai’s family, who was supposed to retire, had unexpectedly received news that he might be promoted to a higher position, entering the core of power.

This was a huge piece of good fortune. If he could make it, it would mean a second rise for the Xia family, and they could even become one of the strongest families.
