Perhaps because he was too tired, Qin Yi didn't wake up until after 11 o'clock.

Under the unseen hand of arrangement, he successfully infiltrated the fan base.

"Sisters, hope Ran's two singles are so good, no random person would make such a comment."

"Yeah, it must have been the rivals doing it on purpose."

"Look at this smear article! It's infuriating! Our Xiran is so cute, when has she ever acted like a diva?"

"Aren't they going a bit too far?"

Being deliberately targeted had already angered Chen Qianyu's fans.

Now, even though they haven't provoked any trouble, the other side has already taken advantage of them, and the atmosphere in the fan group has instantly become tense.

At the same time, the red dot in the classmates' group also lit up.

Even the usually refined Liu Sisi couldn't help but swear in the group chat.

"*****of!"

Qin Yi hurriedly opened the group chat and saw that it was filled with articles smearing Chen Xiran.

Some say her singing skills are poor, and that her songs are obviously edited.

Some even said he had low emotional intelligence and didn't know how to behave, using a clip from a previous variety show to label him as ill-mannered.

Some even accused Chen Xiran of being arrogant and disrespectful to her agent, which is why the company is not giving her any exposure or resources.

A hypocritical persona, two-faced, greedy for resources, saying one thing to someone's face and another behind their back, and so on.

Qin Yi's face grew darker the more he looked at it.

Open Weibo and some short video apps, and if you search for the name Chen Xiran, you will undoubtedly see negative news.

"These smear articles must have been prepared in advance, otherwise how could so many have surfaced overnight?"

With that in mind, Qin Yi opened the list.

The young musician is still on the rise, ranking 23rd on NetEase Cloud Music and 25th on Tencent Music.

Fan Siqi's new song "Falling Love" remained stuck at ninth place, neither rising nor falling.

However, it received as many as 5,000 comments, a full 3,000 more than "The Youth".

"How many times did they have to spend that much?"

Qin Yi couldn't resist clicking in to take a look.

It's truly amazing what you don't know until you see it.

"That sounds great."

"That's amazing!"

"I've put this song on repeat."

"A divine voice."

The comments at the top of the list are written in a way that seems normal, but the further down you scroll, the less human-like they become.

Various nonsensical sentences were sent out that had nothing to do with the song, and some people even copied ancient poems to make up the word count.

Even phrases like "Happy Birthday" appeared in the comments section; it was unbearable to look at.

While browsing the comments, Qin Yi clicked to start playing and listened.

The intro is very chaotic, extremely chaotic, with various instruments mixed together, making it tiring to listen to.

It only started to improve in the verses, but the electronic music remained in the chorus.

I couldn't listen to the song halfway through; it definitely looked like it was recorded on the spot. If it hadn't been played so many times, it probably wouldn't even be in the top 40.

As Qin Yi was browsing, he suddenly came across a negative comment, which also had quite a few likes.

"I'm speechless. They're even using the college entrance exam as a pretext to promote this kind of term on Weibo."

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then the music software crashed.

When he clicked on it again, he couldn't find the comment anywhere; it had obviously been deleted.

"Is Fan Siqi trying to ride this wave of popularity too??"

Thinking this, Qin Yi opened Weibo and searched for Fan Siqi.

Her account posted a short message with the hashtag "college entrance exam," and it was trending at the top of the search results.

The promotional poster features a man and a woman, along with a selfie.

There's also a giveaway event on Weibo where people retweet.

The prizes include collector's editions of both new and old albums, autographed photos, and all sorts of artist merchandise; it certainly seems like a lot of money has been spent on this.

Most of the fans' comments focused on the appearance, followed by comparisons and criticisms, with only a few praising the song.

However, it wasn't long before Chen Qianyu's fans started attacking each other with those disparaging comments.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qianyu's Weibo also became a mess, and the originally peaceful scene instantly turned into a battlefield between fans.

Sarcastic and personally attacking comments abounded.

Upon seeing this situation, Qin Yi immediately called Yun Fan.

The music video hasn't been released yet, and the game hasn't been played. If we let the fans stir things up now, it will definitely be disadvantageous for us.

"Hey, Sister Yun."

"Have the operations team stop the fans; don't get into an argument with them right now."

Yun Fan simply said "okay" and hung up the phone.

She was also overwhelmed with work, and without the support of the company's public relations department, she simply couldn't handle the situation with her current staff.

The complaint mentioned the company, but there has been no response whatsoever.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Qin Yi saw that the administrator of the fan group had already issued a notice.

I had just breathed a sigh of relief when the doorbell rang on my hotel room door.

"I didn't call a waiter, so who is this?"

When Qin Yi walked up to the door and opened it, he was instantly startled.

With sunglasses and a mask covering her face completely, who else could it be but Karena Chan?

"You...how did you get here?"

Qin Yi hurriedly pulled her inside, not daring to peek out, for fear that someone was following behind and taking pictures.

As soon as he closed the door, Chen Qianyu suddenly threw herself into his arms and rubbed her head against him.

He hugged himself tightly, his unease evident.

"Honey, those smear articles are all fake, don't believe them."

Qin Yi felt the softness coming from in front of him and patted her head.

"Then if I said I was Qin Shi Huang, would you believe me?"

Chen Qianyu didn't reply, but just kept her head down and took deep breaths.

Seeing this, Qin Yi asked again, "How did you know I saw the smear article?"

Chen Qianyu's head was pressed tightly against her chest, and her voice sounded muffled.

"I asked Xiao Cen to add you to the fan group, just so you would definitely see it."

"I left home at 9 a.m., drove around to the outskirts of the city, and then came back. No one followed me the whole way. I'm sure of it!"

Chen Qianyu was aware of the potential consequences of this trip, and her driving around in circles was a sign of hesitation about whether or not to come.

If an artist goes to a hotel to meet a man after releasing a song, regardless of whether the reason is legitimate, it will inevitably bring indelible negative impact.

Now that she understands her own attitude towards singing, she is even more determined not to lose her singing career.

Reason also tells Chen Qianyu that this is wrong and incorrect.

But she still chose to do it; she didn't want to regret it anymore.

She used to lack the courage to stand beside Qin Yi, always feeling that she wasn't special enough.

If I had been braver back then, and had looked him in the eyes properly, would everything be different now?

Thinking of this, she gripped her arms even tighter.

After hearing Chen Qianyu's words, Qin Yi said irritably, "Who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru?"

"Sister Yun uses all her talking time to work, but you, on the other hand, come straight here to me."

"Do you think she'll be so angry she'll be hospitalized if she finds out?"

He reached out and pulled her away, then poked her forehead hard with his finger.

Although the hotel windows prevented people from taking pictures inside, Qin Yi still cautiously drew the curtains.

"That's not what you said, telling me not to keep things to myself."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi couldn't help but step forward and pinch her cheek.

"I told you not to hold it in, not to come over. Is your phone disconnected?"

"You know the internet is full of smear articles these days. If someone actually takes pictures of it, that would be a huge problem."

Chen Qianyu chuckled, but it was clearly a forced laugh.

She then reached out and pinched Qin Yi's hand, her voice filled with disappointment.

"sorry……"

"This song is so good, but because of me..."

Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh: "Why release this song for free? Aren't you even a little bit curious?"

Chen Qianyu was already curious, and wanted to ask him about it on the very day he brought it up.

However, Qin Yi later developed a high fever, and she forgot about it in her busy schedule.

Why?

Qin Yi deliberately shook his head to keep everyone in suspense until Chen Qianyu shook his arm and kept acting coquettishly, at which point he pointed to his phone and spoke.

"Believe me, this song's popularity will go far beyond this."

Seeing Qin Yi's confident demeanor, Chen Qianyu suddenly pouted and asked.

"Who is Fish Leong? I've never heard of her before."

"That name definitely sounds like a woman's!"
