“Tjust love watching shameless people get slapped in the face. I never get tired of it.”

“Ruhan, you’re handling this matter really well,” Li Ruhan’s assistant sat beside her and praised her ingratiatingly, “You didn’t say anything, you just let the netizens speculate. This way, since you didn’t confirm anything, no one can accuse you of purposely couple baiting. Tan Jinsheng also cannot do
anything about it. He can’t clarify the matter because people will say that he’s making a big fuss over nothing.”
Li Ruhan smiled. “I thought he would have done something by now since he has such a powerful family. I guess not.”
“It’s still early. It’s only the third episode. I think you can still continue couple baiting for a while since you have so many votes. There are still many opportunities to film your interactions with him in the future,” her assistant said with a smile.
Li Ruhan was indeed very happy.
Especially when her assistant said that she had a lot of votes and that she would not be eliminated anytime soon, Li Ruhan was ecstatic.
“Speaking of which, I’ll go and see how many votes you have now,” her assistant said.
Hearing this, Li Ruhan also picked up her phone to look.
Li Ruhan was looking at her own votes when she suddenly heard the assistant say “Aiya’in surprise.
“How could this be?” her assistant exclaimed, “Aiya! What should we do?”
The assistant mumbled for a long time, but Li Ruhan still did not know what had happened.
Li Ruhan said impatiently, “What exactly happened?”
Only then did her assistant react, she quickly said, “He actually posted on Weibo to clarify your relationship. He even told his fans not to quarrel with others because of the false news. Also, no one scolded him for being petty and coming out to clarify even such a small matter. Instead, they praised him for
being able to restrain his fans quickly, and that he was being a good example.”
“His fans stopped hating on you on your account. Instead, it’s passersby who read the gossip and ran to your Weibo account to mock you.” her assistant’s voice became softer as she spoke.
She didn’t repeat the comments that she saw and let Li Ruhan read it herself.
She didn’t want Li Ruhan to scold her.
‘When Li Ruhan looked at the comment sections on her Weibo, it was full of netizens mocking her.
Her fans had argued with the netizens, but they were quickly defeated.
The netizens were too hard headed and overbearing.
Because her fans were too few, it wasn’t easy for her to score a place in the new program. Since the program started, she also didn’t gain many new fans.
And her old fans who had stayed were already tired of fighting with others.
They did not have much fighting power.
Therefore, Li Ruhan had no choice but to see herself be ridiculed.
Li Ruhan gritted her teeth as she watched hate comments flow in.
That night, Li Ruhan realized that her votes were increasing more slowly than others.
Soon, she was in last place.
Even Cheng Shixiang had more votes than her!
Li Ruhan’s agent contacted her urgently and said, “After intense discussion, we have decided that we cant sit still anymore. You are at risk of elimination. We can’t remain silent anymore.”
“If we remain silent, the number of people voting for you will only decrease,” said the agent.
“Then what should we do now?” Li Ruhan’s heart sank.
She was so proud of herself thinking that she had successfully used Tan Jinsheng to get more votes.
However, she did not expect that she would be the one to suffer in the end.
“What should you do? Quickly post on Weibo and use the same excuse as Tan Jinsheng, Say that you are focused on your career and that you don’t plan to date anyone for the time being. Ask everyone to focus on watching the competition. Then, apologize for causing trouble for Tan Jinsheng,” her agent
said, “Although it’s a little too late to post this, it can at least help save your dignity.”
“Remember to ask everyone to focus on watching the competition and emphasize your apology to him,” her agent reminded her, “It will show that you’re magnanimous. If you’re lucky, netizens might also think that Tan Jinsheng was being hasty in his clarification. If you take the initiative to apologize to
him, it will show that you’re even more magnanimous, and that this matter has nothing to do with you.”
“I got it.” Li Ruhan hung up the phone and immediately followed her manager’s instructions to post on Weibo.
However, Li Ruhan didn’t have much hope of achieving her manager’s expected effect.
Because she knew that it was too late for her to clarify the matter.
She could only blame herself for not being popular enough and not having a good and complete team.
She couldn’t even afford to hire a good public relations team to help her turn the situation around.
After posting, Li Ruhan called her manager again.
“Sister Hu, I’ve posted it on Weibo, but I don’t think it will be of much use. After all, I am posting it very late,” said Li Ruhan.
After receiving so much hate, she was stunned and did not dare to act on her own.
She was in this mess because she acted on her own.
She did not dare to come up with any more new ideas.
Moreover, her manager, sister Hu, had also told her not to act on her own before discussing about a countermeasure.
Therefore, Li Ruhan did not dare to do anything earlier.
“If you didn’t decide to scheme on your own, things wouldn’t have ended up like this,” Sister Hu was full of anger, “I had already planned everything out very well for you. As long as you participate in the competition conscientiously, with your singing skills, even if you do not get first place, you will be a
memorable contestant to the audience. Afterwards, you will definitely receive invitations to parties. I also planned to contact some variety shows to let you participate. Even if the remuneration is on the lower end, at least you’ll be able to appear on variety shows. Slowly, you will get paid more.”
“But since you’ve created this mess, everything that I planned for you is disrupted.” Sister Hu was beaming with anger.
Li Ruhan quickly apologized, “Sister Hu, I know it’s my fault.”
“Sister Hu…” Li Ruhan said hesitantly.
“What is it, say it clearly.” Sister Hu said angrily.
“Can you hire the top publicist in the industry. I’m talking about Lu Man,” Li Ruhan said “How much money do you need?”
“Tjust need to pass this round and advance successfully. I will pay off the fees using the money I earn from this program each episode, until I’ve finished paying it off,” Li Ruhan said, “No matter what, I have to advance. If I’m eliminated in the first round, then I won’t be invited to any parties, commercial
performances or variety shows.”
“So you do know the implications,” Sister Hu said unhappily, “But if we were to hire Lu man, the concern is not about money, it is about whether she accepts your proposal or not.”
“She has always just been doing public relations for the works that she participated in and for her friends. Recently, I haven’t heard of her accepting public relations cases for any certain price,” Sister Hu said, “After all, she is now an actress full-time. I don’t think she has the time to take up anymore
public relations cases.”
“How about this? I’ll ask around to find a way to contact her,” Sister Hu said. “What’s your budget?”
“You can decide. I don’t have a budget.” Li Ruhan threw caution to the wind, “Here’s what I think. If I don’t handle this matter properly, I won’t have many opportunities to make big money in the future. So, I might as well take a risk. As long as I can get through this crisis smoothly, I will have more
opportunities to make more money in the future.”
