I was persecuted and turned into a teenage idol

“I…” Su Jian was about to speak.

Ye Xing, who was at the back, closed the door and came in: "The road was too congested, so I gave Su Jian a quick first aid in the park."

“Um…yes!” Su Jian quickly continued, “Later I felt it wasn’t a big deal, so I just went straight back to the dorm…”

"How could this happen?" Xu Momo sat down with concern. "How is your head now?"

"It's nothing..." Su Jian smiled faintly, then seemed to remember something, "Why did you suddenly come back?"

Xu Momo just sent me a WeChat message a moment ago, how come she suddenly returned to the dormitory so soon?

"It's all because of what happened between you and Ye Xing." Ouyang Qingzi frowned and kept refreshing her phone. "The online public opinion is very unfavorable to us right now. The company wants us to calm things down first, otherwise they're afraid something might go wrong during our event."

For a moment, I thought of that fan who had been so eager to hug me.

Indeed... the sudden news of their perfect idol dating a man... it was like a bolt from the blue for them.

In their excitement... they might actually do something.

"Then..." Su Jian swallowed hard and looked at Ye Xing, "What do we do now?"

Chapter 64, Section 18: Public Opinion Crisis

"This matter is more serious than I imagined."

For the first time, Ye Xing showed a serious expression, his brows furrowed.

"There seems to be a group of online trolls maliciously inciting unrest. We don't know who's behind it yet... It could be Tencent, or other competitors... But in any case, the situation is very unfavorable for us."

"The fans are very emotional right now!" Yu Yan looked at her phone. "My Weibo comments are flooded with messages. Everyone wants Su Jian to give them an explanation!"

"This..." Xu Momo looked troubled. "Then what should we do?"

"I need to go back to the company immediately for a meeting to discuss with everyone how to handle this matter."

Ye Xing pushed up his sunglasses, and then his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at it, his expression changed, and he hurriedly opened the door.

"Do not act rashly for now, and do not release any messages or responses. Wait for my instructions!"

"it is good!"

The girls nodded, and the next second Ye Xing grabbed his phone and hurriedly ran out, seemingly very nervous about the person on the other end.

"I never expected something like this to happen..."

Watching Ye Xing leave, Yu Yan held her forehead.

"The Firefly Girls should be happy now," Ran Yulu sneered from the side. "Our incident caused the event to be suspended, and they'll probably surpass us very soon."

"Alright, let's stop talking about it for now." Ouyang Qingzi stepped in to smooth things over. "Everyone has been busy all day, let's go back and rest. We can only wait for Ye Xing and the company's arrangements for this matter."

Ran Yulu shrugged and turned back into the house.

Su Jian scratched her head awkwardly, then looked up guiltily, "I'm sorry... it's all because of us..."

"Why are you bringing this up?" Yu Yan rolled her eyes, her chubby face showing a touch of baby fat. "This wasn't your fault in the first place!"

“Yeah!” Xu Momo nodded. “You know what? I was shocked when I saw it on Weibo. I thought you were cheating on me while we were out together!”

"What do you mean..." Su Jian's lips twitched a few times, "messing around?!"

"Sigh!" Xu Momo smiled helplessly, "But when I saw the photo... wasn't that Brother Ye Xing?! Yu Yan and I burst out laughing. This news was just too funny."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

Amidst laughter, Ouyang Qingzi sniffed the air, then turned her head: "It smells so good... Is it chicken soup?!"

"Chicken soup?" Xu Momo stood up and glanced at the kitchen. "Su Jian, you haven't drunk your chicken soup yet?"

"Oh! I..."

This happened just as I was about to drink it, so I'm not in the mood for any chicken soup now.

Su Jian hesitated for a moment, then spread her hands: "I'm not hungry right now."

Glug glug...

The next second, my stomach growled.

……

"Long Chen, you've been nominated for Best Newcomer this time, and your new album has sold a million copies. We'd better press on and release a second album as soon as possible!"

Inside the Penguin Pictures building, the agent followed behind, chattering away.

Jiang Longchen, dressed smartly, walked along yawning while listening quietly.

Two consecutive months of intense work had left him barely able to keep his eyes open, but he had also gained a steadily growing popularity and fan base.

He strolled into the office and sat down, when suddenly he heard entertainment news broadcasting from the television.

"It is reported that today, Su Jian, a member of the Cotton Candy Girls group, was with a mysterious man..."

The television was quite noisy, and with his mind in a state of confusion, Jiang Longchen couldn't concentrate at all.

The manager, who had just sat down, sneered, "Oh? The cotton candy girl?"

"What?" Jiang Longchen looked up curiously. "This group doesn't seem to be from our company, does it?"

“They’re from Qiqi Pictures.” The agent waved his hand. “The company is already preparing to launch a new group. They’ll just be stepping stones for us. We don’t need to pay them any attention.”

"I'm not interested either." Jiang Longchen scoffed and waved his hand dismissively. "You know, I have the utmost contempt for these kinds of idol girls who have no talent and can only act cute."

"Hahaha, you little rascal... never mind that, let's start discussing the new album now."

……

Please give us an explanation!

[Is it really that simple, just saying it's fake?]

Ugly people are often troublesome; I didn't like you while watching the show!

[How disgusting! It's a complete dereliction of duty for an idol to date!]

You don't deserve to be an idol!

[Leave the Marshmallow Girls group! You don't deserve to be in an idol group with the others!]

Su Meizi...sigh, although I really want to believe you, but...I hope you can give us a real explanation soon.

[Su Jian, get out of the entertainment industry!]

[Lacking talent, average looks, and immediately starting a relationship right after joining the group—this person has absolutely no shame!]

【nausea!】

They knew perfectly well that those people would attack them, that they were all targeting them, and that most of them were just online trolls stirring up trouble.

Su Jian couldn't help but keep swiping the screen with her fingers, staring blankly at everything in front of her. Finally, she took a deep breath, turned off her phone, and closed her eyes.

"Dad, Mom..."

The sudden loss of security made me blurt out the name of a deceased loved one.

But I already have someone to rely on.

On the contrary... I want to become a strong tree so that my younger brother, Awei, can have someone to rely on.

"It's better not to watch it."

Since Ye Xing said that there are online trolls stirring up trouble, this means that this matter probably involves competition between Qiqi Pictures and other companies.

Some people are trying to take advantage of this incident to suppress Cotton Candy Girl and further damage 77 Pictures, which has been gaining popularity recently!

The most likely candidate is Tencent Pictures... but other film and television companies cannot be ruled out.

But this is something that I cannot control or understand.

It was already late at night, and everyone else, having worked all day, seemed to fall asleep quickly due to exhaustion.

But Su Jian, who was at the center of the controversy, couldn't sleep at all. The comments attacking her seemed to linger in her mind.

When I close my eyes... I seem to see countless people criticizing me.

Although it was clearly a fabrication, I have a clear conscience.

But the more this happened, the more the sense of injustice swelled, making me feel a pang of sadness, as if I had been wronged.

"Oh right. They should all be asleep by now, right?"

……

"Have you seen the news? Do you think it's true or false?"

"I don't know. But I saw someone online saying that Su Jian has a sugar daddy who's keeping her, it seems like..."

"Thank you..." I took the bag from the sales clerk, ignoring their conversation.

Su Jian lowered her head, pulled her hat down, and left the convenience store carrying a beer in her hand.

Puff-!

"Gurgle... Ha!"

Now... only alcohol can make me feel a little better.

I gripped the can tightly in my hand and looked at the sparse crowd in front of me.

Su Jian let out a long sigh, and suddenly heard a sound coming from not far away.

Chapter 65, Section 19: Crazy Fans

"Die—!"

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault!"

Amidst laughter and chatter, a couple deeply in love walked past, tugging and swaying, carrying with them the pungent smell of romance.

As Su Jian drank her beer, she gazed at the two figures as they walked away, and in a daze, she realized that sitting alone in her chair, drinking, she felt even more lonely and desolate.

It would be a lie to say I've never dreamed of such a scene.
