I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

"This is no joke," Sister Zhang said seriously. "If it's not handled properly, the consequences will be far more than just damaging public image."

"Wandering Diary" has always been known for its "realism". The fans of the Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei couple like them because they feel that their interactions are natural and real.

But if fans start to think that their performances are just for show, that they're just putting on a persona... then the consequences are obvious.

Tian Xiwei took Zhang Jie's phone and began to check each trending search term one by one.

At this very moment, marketing accounts are using all their skills to promote each and every single one of these terms.

Some people started taking stock of Cheng Che after he graduated from university:

"After graduating from university, I updated nearly 500 million words of online novels in less than two years. At the same time, I also have songs of quality like 'Fireworks Fade Easily' and 'Rice Fragrance' in hand, and I even recorded variety shows... I can only say that those who know, know."

Some people started analyzing Cheng Che's appearance on variety shows:

"Amateurs appearing on the show, completely relaxed, witty and witty, getting along well with almost all the guests, and singing at least one song per episode, each one a masterpiece, perfectly suited to the occasion... Who would believe there's no team behind them? It's probably all scripted!"

Some people questioned the relationship between Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei:

"We were in the same car at the beginning of the show, bumped into each other at the market, became neighbors when we drew cards in the room, and were in the same group for almost every game segment... Is it really that much of a coincidence? I think it's all scripted by the production team!"

Of course, some people tried to refute this, saying that Cheng Che's song might have been written during his university years, and that it was normal for Cheng and Tian to have good personalities and a good relationship.

Some people even cited Xie Daye and Yang Mo as examples, saying that it's impossible for the two of them to help Cheng Che act as well.

Unexpectedly, there are just too many people who dislike Cheng Che lately, and these voices are quickly drowned out as soon as they appear.

Whatever the reason, the song might have been written in college, but it could also have been bought.

Are they both good-natured? Which celebrity has a bad personality in public? It's all about public image!

As for that Uncle Xie and Yang Mo, how do you know they weren't hired actors? They're probably not any good people either!

In conclusion, the comments section is completely overwhelmingly in favor of Cheng Che, with many netizens already declaring him worthy of the Best Actor award.

Tian Xiwei watched quietly for a long time before returning the phone to Sister Zhang.

"Finished watching?" Sister Zhang asked.

"Mm." Tian Xiwei nodded gently.

"Do you have any thoughts?" Sister Zhang asked again.

She was out of options. The best she could do was to salvage the situation by creating hype around Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei.

But as for other public opinions about Cheng Che... she couldn't help with them.

Tian Xiwei lowered her head and remained silent for a while before raising her head to look at Sister Zhang.

Those eyes, usually bright and sparkling, had dimmed a little.

"I'm a little sad," she said.

Her journey of getting to know Cheng Che inexplicably became a script in other people's mouths, and all the beautiful memories of their time together were labeled as "hype".

Moreover, it also implicated Grandpa Xie and Yang Mo, a lonely old man nearing seventy and a college student who lost both parents. These two innocent people who were trying to live their lives were attacked by many people under the guise of the so-called "truth".

Sister Zhang sighed again; she was quite sad too.

Outsiders may not know, but doesn't she know exactly what kind of people pigs and cabbages are?

People online keep calling them "Magic Ball," but actually, Pig and Cabbage are both very gentle people, and they're only in their early twenties.

But they had clearly done nothing wrong, yet they still suffered such immense malice.

But what could she do?

That's just how the world is; there are many good people, but there will always be bad people.

"I want to make it official," Tian Xiwei suddenly said.

Sister Zhang was stunned when she heard this.

"...Have you thought it through?" she asked.

"Yes, I'll ask Cheng Che." Tian Xiwei nodded. "If he's willing too, no matter how things end this time, I'm going to officially announce it with him."

Sister Zhang opened her mouth, then swallowed back what she was saying.

She wanted to persuade him but didn't want to, and she knew that even if she tried, she wouldn't be able to change his mind.

Bai Cai is no longer the same Bai Cai who first entered the entertainment industry and encountered setbacks everywhere.

Every cabbage, after it grows up, will eventually meet the little pig it wants to protect.

"So what should we do now?" Sister Zhang decided to get back to the main topic. "Has Cheng Che told you about his plans?"

Tian Xiwei glanced down at her phone; Cheng Che had sent her a message two hours earlier:

Cheng Che: Good morning, my dear.

Cheng Che: You'll probably see what's going on online when you wake up, but don't worry about me, I'll handle it.

Cheng Che: Oh right, but I told you before that I can't sing the love song I was supposed to sing on the show, so I have to change it.

Cheng Che: I'll make it up to you when I get home.

Cheng Che: Kitten making a peace sign.jpg

Tian Xiwei smiled and raised her head:

"I don't know, but it's okay, just trust him. He said he has a way."

"Is it reliable?" Sister Zhang was still a little worried.

Although worrying won't do any good.

"Of course." Tian Xiwei nodded. "And I think he'll be angry when he sees what's going on online."

……

……

Looking at the situation on Weibo, Cheng Che got a little angry.

During a break in rehearsals, the production crew reminded him that it would be best to check Weibo, and Cheng Che did so.

Then I found myself being scolded.

He didn't care about that, since he was almost always being scolded anyway.

What angered him was that, besides himself, Tian Xiwei, Lao Wang, and even Grandpa Xie and Yang Mo were also scolded.

The problem is, they actually did nothing wrong and were completely caught in an undeserved disaster.

Being an online novelist requires frequent internet access, so Cheng Che's surfing speed is very fast.

He knew that there were many innocent people online who were attacked or even cyberbullied for some inexplicable reason, just like the ones in front of him now.

Cheng Che wasn't sure if Grandpa Xie and Yang Mo would see these things, but considering that one of them was incredibly "trendy" and the other was a college student, they would most likely see those harsh words.

He wasn't sure what kind of emotions they would feel as a result—whether they would be indifferent, sad, aggrieved, or angry.

But as the "instigator" of this matter, Cheng Che is bound to do something.

The good news is that after so many days of preparation, it's finally time to fight back.

Your mother's kiss.

It seems I really need to teach you guys a lesson.

He immediately took out his phone, preparing to shift the blame onto himself as much as possible.

Two minutes later, Cheng Che posted a message on Weibo using his own account—

@Zero:

"It's all messed up."
