Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

Tan Wen finished speaking, threw away his phone, and after a while, remembered that the phone belonged to He Mi'er, so he silently picked it up again.

"I'm sorry," he said to He Mi'er, a little embarrassed.

"You shouldn't have offended William."

"Is he that great?"

"His surname is Xiang, and he works in the entertainment industry... Never mind, if you ever get targeted in the future, you can come to me."

"Protecting my husband? Looks like I'll be living off him from now on." Tan Wen rarely joked like this.

"Quickly look at the information."

Tan Wen opened the PDF and examined it closely. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, knowing that things were about to take a turn for the better.

Lu Yuxiao's father is the vice president of Shanghai Ren'ai Hospital, and her mother is a dentist at Shanghai Ninth Hospital.

A family with a long history in medicine and a highly educated background naturally carries weight, and the children they raise are bound to be exceptional.

"Mi'er, I'm going to Shanghai. You have to come with me."

After speaking with He Mier, Tan Wen said to the staff, "I'll have to trouble you to come with me. I'll need your live stream then."

Tan Wen made a swift decision, his tone leaving no room for discussion.

The staff nodded silently. They were originally going to Jianye with Tan Wen and the others, but now that they were going to Shanghai, the distance wasn't much different.

He Mi'er felt an excitement about doing something big and immediately said, "Give me your ID cards, I'll book the tickets."

"Book the nearest one, we'll go straight to the airport."

"it is good."

······

He then made a phone call to the chief director, Lei Yi.

"You should know about Lu Yuxiao, right?" Tan Wen asked.

Lei Yi replied somewhat irritably, "The production team is handling this. You two should just follow the schedule and have your date properly, and don't cause any trouble."

"Deal with it?" Tan Wen sneered. "Just leave her alone in that little house to silently endure all of this?"

Lei Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you have some good idea?"

"Director Lei, what do the viewers in the live stream want to see most? Just romance? No, it's the competition, the drama, all sorts of gimmicks. Now that Lu Yu is being attacked, what they want to see is the truth, the counterattack, and a slap in the face."

Tan Wen knew that only by explaining the benefits to Lei Yi would Lei Yi be willing to cooperate with his actions.

Lei Yi listened and, as expected, became interested. "Go on," he said.

"Hiding Lu Yu now only confirms the rumors and makes the production team get criticized as well. I need the production team to issue an official statement saying that they have taken note of the malicious defamation of the guest and will take legal action. The wording must be strong."

Lei Yi nodded: "Actually, I know about all the measures you mentioned, but they are not enough to deter those who are smearing us, and the effect is not significant."

Tan Wen calmly said, "We have contacted Lu Yuxiao's parents, teachers and classmates in the UK, and they will cooperate with our actions."

The live broadcast will follow Lu Yuxiao, showcasing her authentic self in real time. This will create more dramatic tension than any script and bring more viewers to the show.

Lei Yi took a deep breath; the word "traffic" struck a nerve. "Are you sure? Can you be certain Lu Yuxiao is truly innocent?"

Tan Wen suppressed his anger, but to be honest, he wasn't entirely sure what the truth was. He simply trusted Lu Yuxiao, nothing more; his emotions outweighed his reason.

"Both her parents are doctors..."

When Lei Yi heard that Lu Yu's parents were doctors, he remembered that it seemed to have been mentioned in the guest profile. This was a good point, and he finally felt more confident. "Okay, I will arrange to release a statement, but I will not give you any views for your live stream. It's all up to you."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, the car was silent. The director and cameraman stared at Tan Wen in disbelief, as if they were seeing him for the first time.

He Mi'er stood to the side, her eyes sparkling with interest. It seemed that he was not just a handsome young man who talked nonsense and only knew how to write songs, but also had a sense of responsibility, decisiveness, and a quick and sharp mind. He was a good partner and perhaps could be of use to me in the future.

But everything he's doing now is for another woman...

At the Heart-Fluttering Hut.

"Tan Wen must withdraw from the show's production," William said sternly.

Lei Yi, who had just finished a phone call, calmly sipped his tea. "I only scolded you a few times, it's not that serious, anyway, there was no live broadcast at the time."

How could he possibly let Tan Wen leave just because William was criticized a few times? Tan Wen is the king of topics on the show right now. Only someone with a screw loose would abandon him.

"If you don't let him quit, then I will," William threatened.

Lei Yi looked at him calmly, as if he were looking at a fool. He had originally hoped that William could form a love triangle with Tan Wen and He Mi'er, but William was too disappointing and ruined himself early on.

He won't lose anything by quitting, since there will be new male guests coming later.

"You'll have to pay a penalty if you withdraw, so you should think it through."

William was stunned. He hadn't expected the director to make no attempt to keep him. It seemed that in the director's eyes, his value was far less than Tan Wen's, which intensified his jealousy.

"You'll definitely get him to quit," William said, turning and leaving.

Lei Yi frowned. He turned on his computer, opened William's file, and checked for any information he might have overlooked.

······

After cleaning her own bedroom, Lu Yuxiao began cleaning the common areas.

She wiped it carefully, not missing a single speck of dust.

After her company leaders told her about the online smear campaign last night, she was indeed panicked all night and applied to the production team to withdraw from the recording early this morning.

She wanted to go home; she wanted to stay with her parents. She wouldn't be afraid if she was with them.

As a result, the director told her that she could not leave, and the boss also told her to focus on recording and not to worry about anything else.

She realized that she could only rely on herself, just like when she was studying abroad, with no one to depend on.

She quickly composed herself and began collecting those posts that were defaming and slandering her, taking photos and screenshots of each one. After the show aired, she would report them one by one.

As for her acting career, she believes that good will prevail over evil and that she will not be killed by something she did not do.

After cleaning up the kitchen, she was covered in sweat, and her mood was no longer so gloomy.

Looking at the empty little house, there was no one to help him, even though he had happily gone on a date with the person he liked.

She bit her lip lightly, feeling a little lonely.

······

On the plane, He Mi'er's mouth was slightly open, her breathing was even, her long eyelashes trembled from time to time, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

Tan Wen looked at He Mi'er, who was sleeping with her head on her shoulder in a disheveled position. Where was her unapproachable demeanor? She was clearly just a little girl.

This little girl seems to have a lot of energy.

She contacted the directors of two hospitals, who expressed their willingness to cooperate and were very flattering.

Because of the time difference, it will take some time to contact them in the UK.

After seeing how complicated Tan Wen had handled the situation, she even suggested making a phone call to have all the trending topics removed, but Tan Wen rejected this suggestion.

The incident has been going on for a long time, and removing it now would seem like protesting too much, which would only confirm some of the negative information and make it even less likely that the situation could be reversed.

Tan Wen pulled the blanket that had slipped off over her bare thighs, covering her with it. Her name flashed through his mind: He Chaoyan…

Around 3:30 p.m., the plane landed at Hongqiao Airport, and the group got into a pre-arranged car and headed straight for Ren'ai Hospital.

Twenty minutes later, the group arrived in front of the Ren'ai Hospital building.

"You guys should turn on the live stream."

Tan Wen said to the staff.

······

"Holy crap, their date is finally here! Why is the live stream going on so late?!"

"Wait a minute, is this Shanghai? I see the words 'Shanghai Ren'ai Hospital'."

"That beast Tan Gou, Lu Yuxiao has been slandered so badly, and he's still on a date here."

"How do you know it's black? It could be true."

"Haven't you guys watched the live stream these past few days? How could such a cute and innocent girl like Xiao Lu be like what's being said online?"

"Dating reality shows are all scripted, and everyone has a persona. You guys are really acting like idiots and getting all involved."

"I don't care, I'm going to lane. Nobody can bully Little Bass."

As soon as the live stream started, the chat was flooded with comments, almost all of them discussing Lu Yuxiao. Those who spoke up for Lu Yuxiao were quickly drowned out by the slander...

Tan Wen spoke earnestly to the camera:

"We are currently at Ren'ai Hospital in Shanghai. We are not here today for a date or to create any kind of entertainment. We are here to meet a highly respected doctor, who is also a father—Lu Yuxiao's father."

The live chat exploded with comments.

"Lu Yuxiao's father? What's he up to?"

"Lu Yu's father is a doctor? Really? Or is it some kind of PR stunt?"

"Wow, is Tan Wen going to fight back for love?"

"Live-streaming a confrontation with haters? Is that brave of her?"

"Tan Wen, I won't call you dog anymore. I know you like Xiao Lu."
