Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 269 Hot Bar Gets Hacked, Fights Back Hard!
You seem to have something on your mind.

Dilraba's eyelashes trembled, and she instinctively wanted to open her mouth to deny it.

But after meeting Chen Xiu's eyes, she pursed her lips hesitantly and lowered her eyes.

"It's just that Lu Han's fans have been going a bit too far with their insults towards me lately..."

Reba looked down at Chen Xiu and said aggrievedly, "It wouldn't be so bad if they only scolded me, but they also scolded my family."

"What exactly were the insults directed at you?"

"They said I was scheming and opportunistic, and that my nose was too high and needed to be flattened."

"You call this nothing?"

Chen Xiu sat up, pinched Reba's nose, and said, "They've gone too far. If you don't react at all, they'll just get more excited."

Reba pouted as she looked at Chen Xiu, as if considering how she should react.

Chen Xiu stared at her for a while, then suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "You're not waiting for me to find out and ask you, and then you tell me the situation so I can step in and solve it, are you?"

"how do you know?"

Reba stared wide-eyed in alarm, clearly not expecting Chen Xiu to think so quickly.

She took Chen Xiu's hand and said apologetically, "Brother Xiu, I didn't want to trouble you either..."

"Don't talk about trouble or not. If you're unhappy, and I can still be happy being with you, then I'm the one with psychological problems."

Chen Xiu gripped Reba's hand tightly, signaling her not to speak, and then fell into deep thought.

After a while, Chen Xiu suddenly chuckled: "This matter is actually easy to solve, but... let me tell you about the two methods I've come up with."

"two?"

Reba blinked, staring at Chen Xiu with a mixture of surprise and delight, a sense of security welling up inside her.

Chen Xiu nodded and said, "The first method requires you to take charge personally. Although it is a bit complicated, it is the most effective. In addition to solving the problem once and for all, it may also help you gain popularity."

"any solution?"

"You've been targeted by malicious attacks. Besides the 'Running Man' program deliberately stirring up trouble, Lu Han himself hasn't said a word or come out to clarify. He's a typical example of someone who doesn't care if it doesn't concern him. Since that's the case, let's go and send him a gift in return so he can feel the pain."

"Huh? Does Lu Han have a girlfriend?"

Dilraba's lips unconsciously curled up, her interest in gossip replacing her previous faint sadness.

Chen Xiu said pointedly, "Didn't you notice it when you were recording the show?"

"You mean, oh, so they had something going on all along? But how did you know?"

Chen Xiu glanced to the lower left and instantly came up with her answer.

"Wang Sicong told me that he pays a lot of attention to gossip in the industry."

"Oh, no wonder."

“Let’s continue. Once Lu Han empathizes with you, his fans’ attention will shift to a new target, and your pressure will be reduced. But if that’s all, his fans will only think you’re weak and easy to bully, and they’ll turn around and kick you while you’re down. That’s just taking the blame for someone else.”

At this point, Chen Xiu suddenly stopped and stared blankly at Reba.

Why didn't you ask me what to do next?

"Yeah, I think you're amazing. You even anticipated the fans' reactions."

“If you don’t ask, and I just talk about it all by myself, even the interesting things become boring.”

"Hehe, Brother Xiu, what should I do next?"

Dilraba clung to Chen Xiu's arm and started acting coquettishly.

Chen Xiuben was deliberately teasing her to cheer her up.

Seeing Dilraba's beaming face, he continued, "When Lu Han has a headache, go live on Douyin to speak up for yourself and make your stance clear. Then I'll communicate with Blueberry TV and arrange for Lu Han to have a live PK with you to generate buzz. You can then completely crush him."

Upon hearing this unconventional solution, Reba couldn't help but gasp, thinking to herself: "That's too audacious! But it's very much in line with Brother Xiu's style, I like it!"

Would he be willing to compete against me?

"If he doesn't want to, you can start your own live stream on Douyin and say whatever you want. Anyway, you can't post any inappropriate comments, so out of sight, out of mind."

Chen Xiu disagreed, saying that no matter what Lu Han did, he would lose because he couldn't deny having a girlfriend.

No, Lu Han didn't mean to renege on his promise.

He'll be making an official announcement in a few months. Going public now is just a little earlier than expected, but it's not a big problem.

From this perspective, Lu Han is actually quite manly when it comes to relationships. If it weren't for the impact on Reba, Chen Xiu wouldn't have wanted to cause him any trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Reba also felt that Chen Xiu's method was feasible: "Brother Xiu, what kind of words should I use during the PK?"

Have you ever studied your own fan base?

"what is this?"

The introduction of this new topic left Reba somewhat bewildered.

Chen Xiu didn't want to make things too complicated, so she went straight to the point: "It's about why your fans like you. So far, your two most popular roles are Gao Wen and Bai Fengjiu, right?"

"Mmm." "Then think about it based on Gao Wen's personality. What would she say if she encountered this kind of thing?"

"If it's Gao Wen."

A thoughtful expression crossed Dilraba's face as she carefully recalled the role that had propelled her from obscurity to stardom.

Then, she suddenly tightened her grip on Chen Xiu's arm, her eyebrows shot up, and her eyes became sharp and determined.

"Damn it! He dares to spread rumors about me, I'll tear him apart."

"The attitude is correct, but the wording needs to be slightly optimized."

"Forehead……"

After venting her frustrations and gradually calming down, Reba finally began to have some concerns.

"Brother Xiu, if I say this, will it cause trouble for the company?"

"If I let you say that, then I'll cover for you and there won't be any trouble."

Chen Xiu's casual remark, however, sounded more beautiful than any heavenly music to Reba, causing her eyes to ripple with emotion.

There are many ways to describe a sense of security, one of which is that I can protect you from the worst-case scenario!

Chen Xiu could easily help Reba resolve this matter, but in that case, she wouldn't learn anything from it, nor would she improve her abilities.

If we encounter a similar situation again in the future, it still won't work.

It would be better to explain the operation method to Chen Xiu, tell her how to do it, and then take care of things from behind.

The logic behind this becomes clear if you think about it carefully.

Realizing how thoughtful Chen Xiu was in his consideration for her, Reba felt weak in the knees and her heart rate quicken. She leaned against Chen Xiu, and her slender hand touched the chest area of ​​his pajamas collar.

"Brother Xiu, you're so good to me."

"Is it really okay to let you handle the problem yourself?"

"You just said there were two options. The second one should be handled by you personally, right?"

"...You're actually quite clever. Lu Han's fans say you're scheming, and that's not necessarily all true."

Reba stiffened, released Chen Xiu's arm, and turned to hug his back.

Sensing Reba's change in mood, Chen Xiu leaned her head closer to her.

"Brother Xiu, you don't have any bad thoughts about me just because I'm thoughtful, do you?"

"Ha, why have bad thoughts? Being smart has its advantages, and being simple has its advantages. If everyone were the same, how boring would that be?"

Upon hearing this, the worry on Reba's face instantly vanished, and joy spread from her eyes to her entire face.

She stared at Chen Xiu for a while, then charged forward in a savage attack, lunging at her prey...

The following day, on Weibo, where people had been criticizing Dilraba for several days, a headline suddenly appeared: Top idol's secret girlfriend is 8 years younger than him, and the two have agreed to go public this year.

Under this title, there is a detailed story told from the woman's perspective.

In short: she and this young man knew each other a long time ago because of their families, and since they were both addicted to the internet, they often played games together. As they played, they became more and more familiar with each other, and finally, the young man made a direct move and asked her if she would like to date him...

Several photos accompany this story.

Upon closer inspection, they realized they were all familiar faces, and Lu Han's fans felt like the sky had fallen.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the pairing of Dilraba and Lu Han was a deliberate publicity stunt by the "Running Man" production team. Zheng Kai even clarified this for the two of them in an interview.

However, these fans felt that Dilraba was trying to ride on Lu Han's popularity and take the opportunity to solidify the rumors by creating a CP (couple pairing)... Various melodramatic plots of scheming women and innocent men have been playing out in the minds of these brainless fans for dozens of episodes.

They felt that their insults towards Reba were a way of protecting Lu Han.

Everything was proceeding according to the wishes of these fans, but this unexpected and sudden revelation gave them the evidence they asked for.

The more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Now that it has actually happened, fans have rushed to Lu Han's Weibo to leave messages and cry out in despair.

Why do you have a girlfriend?

"They actually kept it from us all along. I've stopped being a fan and I don't love them anymore."

"So the CP with Dilraba was just a smokescreen. You actually had a real one hidden behind the scenes. Wow!"

"..."

The flood of comments nearly crashed the Weibo system.

Fortunately, the person involved has not yet spoken out.

Most fans also cling to some unrealistic expectations, starting to brainwash themselves into believing that the story is fabricated and the photos are photoshopped...

Just as things were getting heated and Lu Han was still unable to respond, Dilraba, whose rumors had been forgotten by fans, started a live broadcast on Douyin to address the situation.

"Hello to all my fans, this is Reba! The reason I'm suddenly going live today is to clarify a recent rumor. Simply put, Lu Han and I only co-hosted 'Running Man,' and we have absolutely no other relationship."

"The so-called 'Lu Di CP' circulating online recently is actually just a publicity stunt arranged by the production team. I didn't take it seriously at first, but some netizens have been exaggerating, so I have no choice but to come forward and clarify."

"Regarding Lu Han, he's a very friendly senior with a nice personality, but he's not my type. Lu Han's fans, please leave me alone. I really didn't want to be paired with him; I was just caught in the crossfire..."
