Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 140: Shocking Mutuals List

That nasty comment posted was immediately replied. “Didn’t you see the promotional pictures of her in ‘Empire Under Siege’? Didn’t you see Li Yu’s Weibo post about it? I think you’re the one who’s gone crazy trying to be popular!”

“Hehe, I thought that that dog bowl would be able to explain everything.”

“Right? She’s just a newbie posting Li Yu’s picture, riding on his coattails. If you can, then why not ask Li Yu to post another post, huh?”

“The movie isn’t even out yet and it’s so popular already, come and explain the backstory of the newbie, won’t you @Black Dog Entertainment Circle”

With the banter going back and forth, the topic of ‘Empire Under Siege’ was once again bumped up in a short few minutes, into the top three trending again.

Cheng Zhou laughed when he saw that. “That’s good, we can save money on buying traffic to get into those top spots now.”

Gu Xiqiao had fanned the fire twice now, bringing ‘Empire Under Siege’ to appear twice on the trending list, making them appear at the top of the hot search when people clicked on their name. In the past, the production crew would have to spend a sum of money to buy traffic to bump their post up into the trending list, it wasn’t as easy to get bumped up so simply as it was these days.

Xu Qing was an assistant to the makeup artist on ‘Empire Under Siege’, and she would usually browse through Weibo when she had nothing to do. Today, she clicked into the profile of her newly worshipped goddess and found a cute dog picture looking back at her. She then scrolled to the comments, seeing that it started out normal and fine, but then the direction changed suddenly within a span of a few minutes.

“Using underhanded methods to do away with a popular actress like Jin Sitian, do you dare to use your real name, For A Millenium? Or are you afraid of being embarrassed once you don’t have a nickname to hide behind?”

“You dare to ride on Li Yu’s coattails? Are you aware of your own status? Making trouble like this in the entertainment circle, your kind of people should get kicked out of it immediately!”

“A newbie should be aware of your own place as a newbie.”

Xu Qing scanned through the rest of the comments quickly and found that the latest comments were all along the same lines, and the speed of each one was fast, one after another being posted. She instantly realized that someone must have hired some Internet Water Army[1] to badmouth Gu Xiqiao, how could this be tolerated?!

This matter already involved a wide range of people, and knowing that Xiao Yun was a newcomer who had the backing of Tang Enterprise, as well as having a good relationship with Gu Xiqiao, she approached her first.

“Miss Xiao, have a look at this.” When she found Xiao Yun, she was busy memorizing her lines.

Taking the phone from Xu Qing’s hand, Xiao Yun’s eyes were drawn to the headline at a glance, “Let’s talk about the newbie who chased away Jin Sintian, absolute insider info!”.

Standing up abruptly, the chair she was sitting on clattered to the ground loudly. Xiao Yun’s face was black. Gu Xiqiao had joined the movie and production crew because of her, she needed to resolve this matter properly. She would not let Gu Xiqiao receive any grievances. “Director Cheng, is there still a copy of the recording the other day, I need it.”

Cheng Zhou was in a discussion with Li Yu, and when he heard Xiao Yun’s words, he was taken aback. “What’s the matter?”

“Please take a look at this.” Xiao Yun said, showing him the post and headlines on the phone.
