Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Chapter 186 At Least I Won't Be a Fan

If Jiang Yan wanted, he could have someone from Yuehua Entertainment investigate and find out which company was deliberately generating negative traffic for him.

But he really didn't want to give these people a second glance.

In his eyes, these top celebrities are not even his rivals.

They're all just potential buyers.

But a clarification is still necessary. Although Yuehua Entertainment is indeed not very good, it is still the company he works for. Regardless of how much he defends them, they shouldn't be smeared with dirt at will.

After exchanging information with Du Hua via text message, Jiang Yan immediately updated his status on his main Weibo account.

[I didn't expect to trend on social media like this. I just happened to be too busy to go to the annual meeting. Mr. Du and I have a very good relationship, so please don't worry about me.]

[Also, instead of constantly monitoring my every move, some people should focus on managing their own idols; at least I don't sleep with fans.]

It was just two very short sentences, but within minutes of being posted, it was forwarded more than 50,000 times.

At the same time, within minutes, Jiang Yan's Weibo post immediately topped the trending searches.

The Feli fans, who were initially worried, were overjoyed after seeing Jiang Yan's clarification Weibo post, and excitedly forwarded screenshots of the post to various fan groups and forums.

As for the comments section, a large number of onlookers who had come to hear the news also flooded in at this moment.

Compared to the clarification in his first statement, Jiang Yanfa's second statement was the key to igniting a huge wave of discussion.

"Wait a minute, this was actually posted by Jiang Yan himself? Not a company employee??"

"Holy crap! When I saw the first sentence, I thought it was a Weibo post from a company employee, but this second sentence is absolutely explosive—it's definitely the real person using the account!"

"Judging from the tone, the person in question is probably quite speechless. They're just being dragged into this even though they didn't attend the company's annual party."

"Judging from this, he must have been paid to post negative trending topics, otherwise he wouldn't have said such things."

"This guy really has a temper. It's the first time I've seen someone post a clarification on Weibo and still manage to make sarcastic remarks."

"So who exactly is Jiang Yan targeting? Do you have any inside information?"

"Putting everything else aside, this guy's personality is really interesting. His posts feel very real, much more authentic than those of other top influencers whose employees post on their personas."

"I was just kidding. He said he doesn't sleep with fans, but his female fans are probably the ones who are most upset right now."

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a outspoken celebrity. I'll follow them first."

'

In just half an hour, the hashtags #JiangYanSaysHeWon'tHaveFans#, #JiangYanSuspectedOfSubtlyImplicitingAttacksOnATopCelebrity#, and #JiangYanStartsGroupOnWeibo# all surged to the top of the real-time trending searches.

All the onlookers were guessing who Jiang Yan was implying was.

A Feli user with Jiang Yan's profile picture left a comment asking, "Who exactly is Yan Bao talking about?"

In response, Jiang Yan specifically replied using her main account: "I don't need to say it; everyone will know in time."

This reply instantly ignited the comment section, and its screenshot quickly spread across major social media platforms.

More and more people, drawn by the allure, flocked to the comments section of this Weibo post, hoping to receive a reply from Jiang Yan.

However, Jiang Yan himself logged out of Weibo immediately after replying to a fan's comment.

He has achieved his goal of diverting public attention by posting this Weibo message, and he no longer needs to worry about the rest of the matter, leaving it to Yuehua Entertainment's PR team.

As for who he was referring to in this Weibo post?

Who else could it be but Wu Jiaheng?

Moreover, he didn't just make that up; at that time, the other person was getting along very well with Xiao G Na.

Jiang Yan didn't intend to imply anything about Luhan Tong's brother-in-law status, because he was also in a relationship, and essentially the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

the difference.

If there's any difference, it's that Luhan only talked about one, while he talked about more than one at the same time.

But Jiang Yan definitely doesn't sleep with fans, so there's nothing wrong with him implying that Wu Jiaheng is innocent.

He didn't care whether Wu Jiaheng's team bought negative trending topics for him or not.

And if I remember correctly, in two or three months, the other party will be exposed by Xiao G Na, and then he will be given the title of "Canadian Casanova".

The public outcry subsided on the same day after Jiang Yan personally stepped in to clarify and respond.

But of course he wouldn't let those marketing accounts that started the controversy get away with it. He'd just leave that to Yuehua Entertainment's PR department; he just needed to wait for the outcome.

However, what has been calmed now is only the public opinion surrounding the non-existent conflict between him and Yuehua Entertainment, while the "stir-fried noodles" incident he instigated remains unresolved.

The topic remains very popular.

However, the fandoms of top idols are in a state of panic. Fans of each idol were frightened by Jiang Yan's words and began to seriously check their idols' schedules during this period to verify that Jiang Yan was not just a fan of his idols.

Jiang Yan naturally wouldn't pay attention to such matters.

He was in a Western restaurant, chatting with Du Hua, who was sitting across from him.

Du Hua arrived in South Korea the day after the public outcry subsided. However, the purpose of their meeting was not related to the previous controversy, but rather to a collaboration on scooters.

After discussions between Du Hua and the company's senior executives, they agreed that a collaboration could be attempted, but a long-term contract could not be signed; only a one- to two-year contract would be offered initially.

If the other party does not agree to this condition, it means that there may be some issues that the company's legal team cannot see.

Jiang Yan readily accepted the proposal.

He didn't really trust the scooter rider at all; it's always better to be cautious when dealing with white people.

After reaching an agreement with Du Hua, the two sides ended their discussion on this topic.

This matter will now be handed over to the company team to negotiate a partnership with the scooter manufacturer.

After taking a sip of red wine, Du Hua looked at Jiang Yan and asked about something else: "How's the preparation for your new album going?"

Jiang Yan replied, "It's almost done, but it should be finished by next month."

"Have you decided when you'll be making a comeback?"

"We're still considering the timing, but it should be after May."

"So late?"

Du Hua looked puzzled and asked, "Your last comeback was in October, right? Doesn't that mean it's been more than half a year?"

Jiang Yan explained, "My plan is to announce my comeback date after attending the Billboard Music Awards."

"Besides, I'm going to release a Chinese single before my comeback, which is enough to keep the fans happy."

Upon hearing this answer, Du Hua slowly nodded and said, "It's good that you know what I mean."

However, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "So, the female lead for the music video of your album's title track hasn't been decided yet?"

"Well, I haven't decided yet."

"So, do you think Cheng Xiao is suitable?"

"Cheng Xiao? That's possible, but she's a newcomer and might not be a good fit for this song."

Jiang Yan briefly explained the lyrics of "SEVEN" to Du Hua.

After listening, Du Hua remained silent for a moment before immediately saying, "There's no problem with that. Just market your relationship as senior and junior brothers and sisters more."

In her view, compared to this risk, the biggest problem right now is that Cosmic Girls haven't gained much popularity since their debut.

Having Cheng Xiao appear in Jiang Yan's music video would at least garner some attention, and might even benefit the entire group.
