Chapter 771 - 384: Is She an Idiot?

Chapter 771: Chapter 384: Is She an Idiot?

In the hotel, Chen Jincheng was the one who was truly dumbfounded.

Damn, now he really knew what they meant by "unscrupulous media."

It even reminded him of a particular incident—the sensational "Anti-inflammatory" case in Hangzhou.

In that other world, hadn’t that "Ancestral Master" influencer been hit with the same kind of "irrefutable proof"?

But that woman’s methods were too crude; almost none of his fans believed her.

’Besides, the news clip just happened to capture the moment Fang Qianyao threw herself at me. She must have planted someone there to film it, right? And then she released the video herself?’

’This way, she could attract a huge amount of attention. Then, she could expose more "details," like claiming I have perverted tastes or that I made her get an abortion. That would generate even more buzz.’

’Finally, she would stand up as a strong, independent woman, bid farewell to her sullied past, and turn over a new leaf. That would attract a huge wave of sympathy and attention. Then, she could start accepting event invitations, promote products in her videos, and make money hand over fist.’

’It’s a perfect plan.’

’So, next, someone should come forward to reveal her identity and "confirm" that the story is true, right?’

What a pity she didn’t realize he was livestreaming.

The clippers from Yijin all record his streams.

This was getting boring.

Just then, he saw his phone light up with a series of question marks from several girls.

"???" —Xiaoju.

"???" —Jiang Xiaobai.

"???" —Yinyin.

"???" —Cen Ning.

...

"???" —Meng Ziyi.

"???" —Tian Xiwei.

Each girl had attached a link to the news story or a screenshot after the question marks.

Clearly, they were all asking what was going on.

He chuckled, understanding what they were all thinking. He immediately sent a mass reply: "There’s nothing between me and her. I barely even know her. She’s just a clout chaser. You know I always behave myself. I’m single. I don’t even lay a hand on you, so why would I touch her?"

「In another hotel room.」

Fang Qianyao was also looking at the news online. The story was already blowing up, and its traction on Tiao Yin was still growing.

Her best friend, who was with her, immediately said, "It’s time to publicize your account. I’ll leak the story from a ’friend’s perspective.’"

"Okay!" Fang Qianyao nodded. This was how she would attract a huge wave of traffic.

Since Chen Jincheng was so heartless, he couldn’t blame her for what was coming. She would claim she’d had an abortion because of him and that he’d used her and tossed her aside.

He wouldn’t be able to defend himself against any of it.

The medical records from her previous abortion would finally come in handy; she would just pin the whole thing on Chen Jincheng.

Her friend didn’t hesitate. She stepped to the side, took out her phone, and started recording a video. "Hello everyone, I’m Chu Xin. You’re probably wondering who I am. I’m sure you’ve all seen the news about Chen Jincheng online, right? Of course, I’m not the woman in the video."

"The woman in the video is my best friend. We’re flight attendants together at Southern Airlines. And yes, my friend really is Chen Jincheng’s girlfriend. He used to treat her very well, often booking flights specifically with her just to see her, and then he’d take her out to have fun."

"Honestly, all of us friends were so jealous every single time."

She posted the video directly to Tiao Yin, tagged Fang Qianyao’s account, and paid to promote it. Within ten minutes, the video was already gaining traction.

This was mainly because the news story was already a hot topic.

This made the story absolutely explode.

Chen Jincheng had been dominating the headlines for a while. It wasn’t that people hadn’t discussed his relationship with Miss Cheng, but since he was publicly single and had never announced a girlfriend, no one could ever pin anything on him.

But now things were different. If Chen Jincheng actually had a girlfriend, he was fair game for haters. A messy private life was one thing when you were single, but it was a completely different story when you were in a committed relationship.

Suddenly, a chorus of voices rose up to denounce Chen Jincheng. After all, there were always people who couldn’t stand him. Even other celebrities started to get involved, amplifying the situation even further.

One of them was a celebrity everyone knew: Luo Xiaozhu, who had recently shot to fame on a variety show.

He simply reposted the news story with a single comment: "As a public figure with a girlfriend, you shouldn’t have such a messy private life."

This comment caused the incident to blow up even more.

Everyone knew what he was implying.

It was as good as taking a side and joining the public condemnation of Chen Jincheng.

And it drove home the point that Chen Jincheng was fooling around even though he had a girlfriend.

That was not acceptable.

If this scandal grew big enough, maybe even the Guangding Headquarters would step in to handle Chen Jincheng.

At the very least, he would be blacklisted, and being banned from appearing on camera was the absolute minimum to expect.

In the hotel, Sun Ji arrived at Chen Jincheng’s room, a look of exasperation on his face. "Boss, how on earth did things suddenly get so out of hand?"

Seriously, he knew how troublesome this kind of thing could be in the entertainment industry.

’Besides, he knew his boss had special relationships with plenty of girls at their own company. With so many options available in-house, did he really need to go looking for trouble outside?’

’He could just make a single phone call, and any of the girls from the company would come running over with a smile on her face.’

’They were all in Jiangnan. It’s not like Huajin City was that far from Coastal City, was it?’

’Had he forgotten the cautionary tales of Li Yifeng and Huang Huanbo?’

Seeing Sun Ji’s worried expression, Chen Jincheng just smiled and showed him a livestream video. "President Sun, it’s nothing. Don’t worry."

Sun Ji, seeing how nonchalantly he was taking it, looked at the video and froze. It was a recording of his boss’s own livestream.

"Boss, did you stage this whole thing for publicity?"

The livestream video made the beginning and end of the incident perfectly clear. The woman had thrown herself at him and been rejected, so she pulled this stunt.

Chen Jincheng shook his head. "She’s just a clout chaser."

Sun Ji’s jaw dropped. "You were livestreaming when she tried to frame you, and she still dared to stir up all this drama online? Is she a fucking moron?"

Chen Jincheng laughed. "Some people will stop at nothing to get famous, but their intelligence is sorely lacking. Can you believe someone would try to frame a guy by claiming a poke from his finger caused an infection hours later? And then the time on the medical report was from before she was even ’poked’? Compared to that, this is nothing."
