WBSGVS Chapter 92 V1

This is Chapter 92 V1

On one side, surprises were unfolding, but on the other side, things were far from wonderful.

Su Tang had always acted without hesitation. As long as she didn’t do anything too extreme, if she offended someone like Fu Qingli, she simply didn’t care.

However, the cameras in the live stream captured every move, perfectly displaying the situation. Even though she didn’t mind, it didn’t mean the viewers didn’t.

She was used to acting recklessly. In the past, she still held back a bit in front of the cameras. Although she had a bad reputation, she still had a lot of fans who believed she was genuine, with a spoiled young lady attitude but no malice.

When it came to Fu Qingli, Su Tang often lost her rationality. In the past, she might have brushed it off with just a few words.

But this time, things were different.

At first, everyone tried to convince themselves that Su Tang might have some special task. What if she were an undercover agent?

But when the live stream ended without revealing any secret mission, people realized those excuses were just her fans covering for her!

And then, the hatred began to grow.

Although Fu Qingli had come up with a clever plan and avoided being eliminated by blending in with the zombies, making the show even more exciting, it didn’t mean that Su Tang had done nothing wrong.

At the peak of Fu Qingli’s popularity, with her outstanding performance in the livestream, even passersby were siding with her over Su Tang.

Three hot search trends, plus a few trending topics related to Fu Qingli, took over the search rankings, dominating the relatively low-profile reality show “Terrifying Escape.”

Other celebrities who had bought trending topics were left frustrated, watching as their time slots were overtaken, waiting for the controversy to blow over.

At first, Su Tang didn’t care much. Hadn’t she been criticized plenty before? As the eldest daughter of the Su family, she didn’t lack money, and being a celebrity was just for fun.

What bothered her was being overshadowed by Fu Qingli in the show. She had to wait in the background, scowling the entire time. When she finally returned to her car after filming, her expression immediately darkened.

Hearing a call from the person responsible for the endorsement products questioning her over this, she grew even angrier, muttering, “It’s just a small matter. Why make such a big deal out of it?”

Her manager, forced to smile awkwardly, said, “Miss Su, it’s not like that. The endorsement products have already said that no incidents damaging the brand image can happen. Would you like your father to help pull the trending topic down?”

“Fine,” Su Tang reluctantly agreed and called her father.

As expected, she was scolded again, but after the scolding, her father still handled the mess.

A few minutes later, Su Tang saw the trending topics drop and shrugged, “Alright, it’s over.”

Her manager sighed in relief.

Meanwhile, netizens were still scrolling through the trending topics: “Wasn’t this trending at number one just now? How did it drop to seventh?”

“Sis, you’re late, it’s already at seventeenth!”

“Damn! They removed the trending topic! True to being the Su family’s eldest daughter, she’s tough!”

“Girls, let’s go! Let’s push it back up! What’s so great about capital?”

“Don’t worry, I already paid to push this trending topic back up!”

Other netizens: “6666, rich lady, please accept my bow!”

With the efforts of the netizens and the power of money, the topic fluctuated, eventually coming back into the top five, arrogantly sitting there.

Su Tang, casually scrolling, stopped at the sight, her anger rising again. She immediately called her father: “Dad! Give me some pocket money, I’m going to take down the trending topic myself!”

Her father, irritated, scolded her again but sent the money.

And so, Su Tang and her haters fought over the trending topic for an entire night. Both sides spent a lot of money and effort, but in the end, Su Tang used her money to win. Still, the cost made her wince.

“I underestimated them!” Su Tang muttered through gritted teeth.

Ji Yan was momentarily speechless. As her boyfriend, he came to pick her up after work and watched her fight with netizens all night. His father had once worked as a driver for the Su family and later started his own company, but the scale of his business was nowhere near comparable.

The money they spent could be several years’ worth of profit for his company.

Without any comfort, Su Tang frowned unhappily: “Ji Yan, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Ji Yan quickly forced a smile, shaking his head: “I was thinking about how to comfort you.”

Su Tang immediately smiled, threw herself into his arms, and said, “Alright, I’m comforted now!”

Ji Yan’s eyes softened at once.

The next morning, Zheng Yue woke up and went next door to find Qingli.

However, when she knocked, there was no answer. She cautiously opened the door and found the bed neatly made, with no sign of anyone having been there.

Her heart skipped a beat. She quickly ran back to her room and called, “Ah Li, where did you go?!”

On the other end of the line, Qingli’s voice sounded calm but slightly out of breath: “I went for a run. I’m coming back soon. I’m buying breakfast. What do you want to eat?”

Zheng Yue felt relieved, but then she suddenly felt a strange sense of happiness. She subconsciously replied, “Soup dumplings, steamed dumplings.”

“Okay.” The call ended, and sure enough, five minutes later, Qingli returned.

Dressed in sportswear, her hair slightly damp with sweat, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes bright, Qingli looked refreshed without any makeup. Her eyebrows were a little disheveled, but there was a newfound air of heroism about her.

Zheng Yue stared at her for a while, still in a daze. When the steamed dumplings were handed to her, she snapped out of it, murmuring, “I think I know why Director Yan is looking for you. I heard his new drama is a fantasy series, and those types of shows have a lot of action scenes.”

Qingli smiled: “That’s probably the case. I’m going to shower now. Eat quickly. We need to leave once you’re done.”

“Okay.” Zheng Yue subconsciously nodded, taking the food to the table and asking, “Have you eaten yet?”

Qingli’s voice came from afar: “I ate. I had some on the way back.”

Zheng Yue felt relieved. With a bite of steamed dumplings, and a cup of soy milk, she was so happy she could have exploded. It had been so long since she had breakfast— the last time was eight days ago when she went to pick up Fu Qingli from her place.

While eating, she scrolled through her phone, planning to check out the aftermath of yesterday.

As she swiped, a new trending topic appeared: #FuQingliWorkout#

“Cough, cough!” Zheng Yue gasped in surprise at the new trending topic, choking for a second. She quickly coughed twice and regained her composure. She clicked on it and saw a scene from this morning—Fu Qingli out for a run.

The same outfit!

The photo was taken by a passerby who happened to be watching Terrifying Escape. They saw Qingli running, recognized her, and followed her, snapping pictures until she entered her neighborhood.

One of the shots even caught her eating breakfast on the street.

Her delicate face had a healthy flush after the workout, her cheeks puffed as she ate a soup dumpling. She seemed to notice someone was taking photos and glanced toward the camera.

The shutter clicked at that moment, capturing her with slightly widened eyes.

The comments were full of praise:
“Ahhh! So cute!”
“She’s so beautiful! Full of energy!”
“I love her, but too bad she doesn’t post much. Her Weibo is dead—only her manager is feeding us crumbs. The poor kid’s starving!”

There were no negative comments. In fact, due to the hype from yesterday, everyone had shifted their support to Fu Qingli, feeling sorry for her after Su Tang’s over-the-top actions. Even though Su Tang had won, the public now sympathized with Fu Qingli.

With the topic trending so high, marketing accounts quickly reposted the passerby’s photo, and within minutes, the comments numbered in the thousands.

Zheng Yue was a bit dazed, feeling like her artist had made it.

She never expected that a casual encounter could land a trending topic—this feeling was almost dizzying!
