Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 308, Section 307: Oda: Don't even think about dragging Kobayashi down with you! (4K)

"Chu Ran, I think you're overthinking it."

After a long while, Xiao Zhang finally said this.

She knew about the Weibo Night event at the time, but didn't think much of it.

As we all know, Cunzi is currently universally hated, and many people deliberately include her tag in their posts, resulting in a surge in traffic.

It's obvious they're deliberately trying to capitalize on her rise to fame through controversy.

Lin Shaobai is a top celebrity now, he shouldn't be so stupid as to associate with someone like that.

Popular celebrities would love to stay far away from Cunzi; no one would willingly approach her.

Zhang Jingyi always held this thought in her mind.

Hearing Zhang's words, Wang Churan felt even more upset.

Was this guy surnamed Zhang even listening to what I was saying?!
All that talk was for nothing, wasn't it?
Didn't you see what happened at the Weibo Night event?

"I saw it," Zhang Jingyi replied slowly.

"Now that you've seen it, how can you remain so calm? Do you even like Lin Shaobai?"

"Huh? What?"

This question seems to have struck a chord with people.

Xiao Zhang, who had been quite indifferent, immediately showed a more obvious expression.

"What are you saying? Of course I like him!"

That determined look seemed to say, "No one can question my feelings for Kobayashi!"

"If you like her, why don't you even bother to learn anything about her? I watched that video later, and I feel like this Liu guy just likes Lin Shaobai and wants to use Shaobai to salvage her reputation!"

Wang Churan reasoned earnestly, her eyes gleaming with the brilliance of a master detective.

Zhang Jingyi: "Aren't you overthinking this?"

"I'm not overthinking it, why don't you believe me?! Liu Haocun is definitely trying to ruin Lin Shaobai! You know how bad her reputation is right now, right? Contacting Lin Shaobai at this time, isn't she deliberately smearing his name?"

Wang Churan only has Lin Shaobai in her heart.

She would not allow anything that could destroy Lin Shaobai.

In addition, he didn't have much contact with this woman surnamed Liu to begin with, and after the Weibo Night incident, he is now completely hostile towards her.

Unfortunately, it seems no one can understand her feelings at this moment.

We finally managed to get Xiao Zhang over here just to discuss this matter.

As it turned out, Xiao Zhang didn't seem to care at all.
Are you kidding me? Aren't we all together because we like Lin Shaobai?

Can we just ignore the fact that someone is trying to frame Kobayashi?!
After that, the two didn't talk much more, and Xiao Zhang got into his car and left.

It was only in the car that she seriously recalled what Ms. Wang had just said.

I took out my phone and searched for Lin Shaobai and Liu Haocun's trending topics.

The assistant, sitting next to him, glanced at it unintentionally.

I was wondering why my own celebrity was trending on social media so early in the morning.

How much time has passed?
The assistant was genuinely curious; she didn't actually have the bad habit of wanting to pry into other people's privacy.

So she slowly turned her head toward the window.

Zhang Jingyi hadn't paid much attention to this trending topic before, but after hearing what Ms. Wang said, she decided to take a closer look.

She specifically looked at several comments that had received a lot of likes.

One can only sigh and say that Cunzi's goodwill is completely gone forever.

It's terrifying; almost everyone is cursing her.

I've never seen a celebrity suffer such severe cyberbullying before.

Oh no.

It seems there really is one.

However, that person had no connection with Lin Shaobai.

do not mind.

"A lot of people are criticizing her; her reputation is definitely not good."

"Who is it?" the assistant asked curiously.

Zhang Jingyi: "Oh, Liu Haocun."

"Cough cough!"

Upon hearing the name, the assistant coughed twice in nervousness.

Xiao Zhang immediately put down his phone.

"Is such a strong reaction really necessary?"

"Of course it's big, the name is terrifying now."

"..."

"It feels like her name can't even be mentioned, because everyone is cursing her. Even people who don't know her at all will kick her while she's down. Of course, I think she deserves it."

It was obvious that the assistant was on the other side.

Zhang Jingyi did not answer that question immediately.

Regarding Liu Haocun's case, Xiao Zhang said he didn't know much about it and naturally wouldn't casually say something like "he deserved it."

"I'd better take another look."

After a long while, Xiao Zhang finally said this.

However, Wang Churan still couldn't let go of that matter.

I took advantage of a free day to come to the company to do a live stream for my fans. After the live stream, I went to the dance studio on the top floor.

Kong Xueer is still practicing dance.

Because Lao Liu has been very busy lately, holding concerts all over the country, he almost never comes back to the company.

Wang Churan got tired after dancing for a while and lay down lazily in the back.

I'm just not in the mood right now.

The matter of Liu Haocun kept nagging at her mind, refusing to leave, which made her very annoyed.

She waited until Sheryl's dance music ended before speaking: "Sheryl, can I ask you something?"

"Loved."

"..."

"Choose you."

"..."

Wang Churan was astonished to find someone even more abstract than herself!
I'm telling you this seriously!

"Ok."

Kong Xueer obediently sat down next to Ms. Wang.

What kind of person do you think Liu Haocun is?

"Wow, you're asking me such a profound question? Is this the kind of profound question we should be discussing?"

Kong Xueer's clear eyes seemed to say, "Are we the kind of people who should be discussing such profound issues?"
Can human nature be something that the two of us can simply discuss and understand?

This won't do, young lady!

Even discussing human nature... is fine, right?

Can't we find someone else? Do we really have to pick this troublemaker?!
Have all the online discussions thoroughly analyzed this person?

"That's why I'm asking you, what do you think?"

Wang Churan spoke persistently, and even took Xiao Kong's hand.

Kong Xueer scratched his face awkwardly.

I don't really want to answer this question, and I really don't know how to answer it.

But since Ms. Wang has already said so, let's give her face.

I've been with the company for quite a while now, and I'm a good colleague.

"I don't think she's as bad as people say online."

"..."

After Kong Xueer finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth upon seeing Ms. Wang's expression.

Totally spicy!

I really shouldn't have said something like that.

Just by looking at Wang Churan's expression, I knew that my answer was completely different from what she was thinking.

I understand. Wang Churan is part of the group that slanders Liu Haocun.

Okay, let's change it then!

"Actually, I didn't say that just now, so please pretend you didn't hear me. I'll say it again: I think Liu Haocun is a bad woman! She doesn't deserve to be in the entertainment industry! She deserves to be criticized!"

Wang Churan's expression changed slightly.

Xiao Kong thought his words would make Ms. Wang happy, but they didn't.

So what is the answer in her heart?

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; it's truly unfathomable.

Is that really what you think?

Ms. Wang is now more willing to hear the truth.

Xiao Kong pouted and said, "Actually, the first time I said it was the truth, and the second time was mainly to please you. Well, that's what I really think."

Wang Churan lowered her head and remained silent for a long while.

"And what about you?" Kongsheer countered, "What are your thoughts?"

Wang Churan sighed deeply, then leaned against the wall and said, "I'm indifferent to those things online. It's just that I feel a little disgusted with her because of some emotional issues."

"Feelings?" Xiao Kong became interested.

Wang Churan realized she had talked too much, so she quickly stood up and straightened her clothes: "It's alright, I have to go! I have things to do! I'm a big star now, I'm incredibly busy. I'm going to reply to some fan comments now~"

"You'd better explain yourself clearly!"

Wang Churan was indeed in a hurry to leave.

On the way back, she wondered if she was being a little too naive.

Do we have to keep asking everyone what they think of Liu Haocun?
There's no need for that.

Anyway, with the current online uproar, 90% of people don't like her.

But if she absolutely had to do something to Lin Shaobai...

"I will absolutely not allow her to drag Lin Shaobai down with her!"

Wang Churan said with particular conviction.

The agent sat to the side, looking helpless.

Celebrities are always like this, saying things out of the blue that leave people completely clueless about how to respond.

Oh well, at least I still have this face.

Everything can be forgiven.

……

Wang Churan really didn't care about the matter anymore in the following days, since Lin Shaobai and Cunzi didn't have any chance to meet after that.

In June 2023, another popular male celebrity's career collapsed.

The famous "What are you doing?"
He became a sensation through Idol Producer years ago, becoming the center of attention and rising to fame through a talent show.

As a result, his private life issues were exposed.

It collapsed all at once.

After all, he was very popular. When this incident was exposed, everything about him was for the next few days.

Fans are devastated. How could their favorite idol be this kind of person?
Lin Shaobai happened to see this trending topic while looking at his phone in his RV today.

Before he could even finish looking at it properly, his assistant, sitting some distance away, screamed.

"Ahhhh!"

"The vegetable...he...the house collapsed?"

Assistant Xiao Zhao simply couldn't believe it.

"If you get a girl pregnant and then refuse to take responsibility, you should make her have an abortion."

Assistant Xiao Zhao summarized and commented on the information from the trending topics.

Realizing that he was speaking too loudly, he quickly put his phone away and went back to work.

The staff members in the distance also saw the trending topic, but they all refrained from saying anything.

After a while, Tian Xiwei ran over with the snacks she had just bought, wanting to share them with Lin Shaobai.

Of course, I also want to gossip a bit.

Have you seen that trending topic?

Tian Xiwei quickly sat down opposite Lin Shaobai, holding a bulging bag of potato chips in her hands.

Lin Shaobai: "I've seen it."

There's no need to go through such a long timeline in detail.

I already knew this before I was reborn.

"I think her fans are already devastated."

Tian Xiwei picked up her phone again and randomly selected a few comments.

It would definitely collapse. So many years have passed since Idol Producer became popular.

This matter caused quite a stir, but Xiao Tian just watched the drama unfold and quickly put his phone aside.

She didn't care about this man's affairs.

It could even be said that she doesn't care about any men except Lin Shaobai.

In Xiaotian's heart, there is only Xiaolin; her heart and eyes are filled with only Xiaolin.

A few days ago, Ms. Wang sent him a message, which was also about Liu Haocun.

"Um..." Tian Xiwei thought for a while and then decided to ask.

Otherwise, I'll have a knot in my heart.

I just feel like it's a bit inappropriate to ask this question now.

A slight awkwardness.

Seeing Xiaotian's reserved demeanor, Lin Shaobai couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want to ask? You've been hesitating for so long, this isn't like you."

"Haha!" Tian Xi chuckled dryly twice, then slammed her hand on the table in front of her: "Fine, since you asked, I'll tell you. Don't regret it!"

Lin Shaobai's lips twitched twice.

"I feel like you've caught Wang Churan's influence lately? How come you've become like this too?"

"Actually, it's still the same problem as before. Don't think I'm being a nuisance, it's just been a knot in my heart for a long time! I think you should have less contact with Liu Haocun."

Tian Xiwei blurted everything out.

My heart was pounding with anxiety.

She was worried that Lin Shaobai might find her annoying.

Because this person's problem has already been addressed before.

Would it be redundant to say it again?

Would you argue if you found it troublesome?

Don't argue, arguing hurts relationships the most.

But since I've already asked, let's leave it at that!
A dead horse becomes a live doctor!
Hey! That phrase isn't appropriate here either.

Tian Xiwei's eyes were already big, but they became even bigger because of excessive thinking.

Lin Shaobai stared at Xiao Tian expressionlessly. After about five seconds, he finally spoke: "You think she'll drag me down with her, right?"

"Huh?" Tian Xiwei thought to herself that she probably didn't ask that question out loud.

Kobayashi immediately thought of it!

This could be considered a meeting of minds.

"No, and Liu Haocun isn't the wicked person you all make her out to be. It feels like some people are turning her into Satan these days."

Lin Shaobai also felt that some netizens were really exaggerating.

Perhaps they needed an outlet to vent their frustrations.

Tian Xiwei: "But...but...aren't those things the truth?"

“She did not shirk her responsibility and has been paying back the money. It was an accident, and an ordinary family cannot afford several million. They can only pay back the money with monthly interest. After she started making money, she helped her family pay off the debt.”

Lin Shaobai summarized the matter in a very simple and clear way.

“But the fact is that the compensation wasn’t paid on time,” Tian Xiwei continued.

“An ordinary family certainly can’t come up with a few million right away… But aren’t we discussing whether she’s trying to drag me down with her? Don’t worry, Xiaotian, I know you’re worried about me. Think about it this way: even if she really wanted to drag me down, given my current situation, what impact do you think it would have on me?”

"……Um……"

right.
