I Rule Fortune-Telling Livestreams-Chapter 126: I Will Protect My Beloved Streamer
So, more than half of the "fans" on Weibo were there to curse her out, and quite a few were just waiting to see her get humiliated.
Some people kept tagging her on Weibo, asking her to dish on the *Qing Qing Wo Wo* crew being forced to shut down and what all the celebrities had to say about it.
Many fans also kept tagging the *Qing Qing Wo Wo* production team under Shen Zhiyao’s Weibo posts.
Finally, the *Qing Qing Wo Wo* production team issued a response:
[Qing Qing Wo Wo: Everyone, stop staying up late! The highly anticipated *Qing Qing Wo Wo* is officially scheduled for September 30th! Let’s have the queens meet on the show! Participants: @Sun Yingbin @Meng Xiaoxiao @Zhou Lun @Zhao Jing @Zhou Ye.]
The moment this post went up, fans erupted with excitement and began a heated discussion:
[Aren’t there six guests? Why did they only tag five? Are they deliberately targeting someone?] 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
[Can’t you see? The production team is avoiding that charlatan. They’re intentionally not tagging her!]
[If it were me, I wouldn’t tag her either. The show hasn’t even premiered yet, and that jinx is already cursing it, saying it won’t air. Anyone would be mad!]
[Exactly! Who doesn’t want to be blessed? But they just had to get a jinx cursing the production team!]
[So, does this mean the production team kicked that charlatan off the show?]
*Qing Qing Wo Wo* really did want to kick Shen Zhiyao out, but her connections were too powerful. The production team couldn’t get rid of her.
Last season, *Qing Qing Wo Wo* wasn’t well-known and faced a great deal of skepticism.
The only investment they managed to secure was from Yuanqi Entertainment.
In return, the *Qing Qing Wo Wo* production team promised Yuanqi Entertainment two spots on the show for their people to boost their popularity.
But the production team never expected them to give one of those spots to an obscure little web influencer.
Zhou Ye was one thing—he was a second or third-tier star with at least some popularity.
But Shen Zhiyao was just a minor web influencer, not fit for such a high-profile show.
On top of that, everyone else on the show was a major star, which led to Shen Zhiyao getting flamed by many people.
It was only out of respect for Yuanqi Entertainment that the production team reluctantly accepted Shen Zhiyao. ’Worst case,’ they thought, ’she can just be background decoration.’
But the team never, ever imagined that before the show even aired, that jinx would publicly curse the production, predicting it would be shut down. This move instantly offended everyone on the crew, from top to bottom.
The production team was deeply troubled by this and ultimately had no choice but to call the boss of Yuanqi Entertainment to discuss the matter.
But Jin Fan, that hothead, flew into a rage the moment he heard they wanted Shen Zhiyao to withdraw from *Qing Qing Wo Wo*.
"Fuck! Having my matriarch on your show is a blessing you earned in your past life! Don’t be so ungrateful and start getting picky!"
Jin Fan unleashed a torrent of curses on the production team representative, leaving the person on the other end utterly humiliated.
Unable to handle Jin Fan, the production team went to the director of Mango TV, the show’s producer.
The director of Mango TV then called Jin Huai Zhong, asking him to resolve the situation.
But Jin Huai Zhong just said, "Yuanqi Entertainment is in Jin Fan’s hands now. I don’t have the authority to manage it. Besides, weren’t you the ones who promised us two spots? A gentleman’s word is his bond. What? Are you regretting it now?"
In reality, the Mango TV director had no leg to stand on, and neither Jin Huai Zhong nor Jin Fan would give him any face.
So, when they announced the cast list, they deliberately left out Shen Zhiyao’s name.
Jin Fan saw the post immediately and furiously called to demand an explanation.
The director of Mango TV feigned surprise, saying, "Oh! Did we leave out Miss Shen? Let me see... Oh my! We really did. I’m so sorry, it wasn’t intentional. We’ll add her name right away. If we were deliberately targeting someone, we would have left out Zhou Ye. It really wasn’t on purpose, I apologize!"
But Jin Fan was already furious. He said coldly, "If you at Mango TV can’t do your jobs, then don’t bother! If I find you targeting Miss Shen again, I’ll shut Mango TV down!"
The people at Mango TV were instantly terrified. They quickly deleted the Weibo post and reposted it.
A few minutes later, *Qing Qing Wo Wo* reissued the show’s announcement:
[Qing Qing Wo Wo: The highly anticipated *Qing Qing Wo Wo* is officially scheduled for September 30th! Let’s have the queens meet on the show! Participants: @Sun Yingbin @Meng Xiaoxiao @Zhou Lun @Zhao Jing @Zhou Ye @Shen Zhiyao.]
The announcement went out, but the haters only got more vicious, which basically confirmed that Shen Zhiyao had powerful backing.
[This Shen Zhiyao’s backing is insane. She actually made the production team reissue the announcement just for her.]
[I heard Shen Zhiyao latched onto the thigh of the Beijing Circle Prince, Jin Fan. Now she’s being heavily promoted by Douyin Live Stream and Yuanqi Entertainment. Otherwise, how could a minor web influencer get on *Qing Qing Wo Wo*?]
[No wonder my report against her live stream for "feudal superstition" was rejected by Douyin Live Stream. What’s even more infuriating is that I went into her stream and insulted her a couple of times, and Douyin Live Stream deleted my account!]
[Damn capitalists! I hope Douyin Live Stream goes out of business soon!]
[Have you guys seen the weather forecast? September 30th is more than two weeks away. The forecast for that period shows nothing but sunny days!]
[Haha, that bitch Shen Zhiyao’s prediction is definitely going to fail! Hahaha, I refuse to believe her career won’t implode after this!]
[I bet the production team chose this date after seeing Shen Zhiyao’s prediction. She must have really pissed them off!]
The netizens weren’t wrong. To ensure a good weather day for the premiere, the production team had specifically checked the forecast.
The director of Mango TV even made a special call to the meteorological bureau. Only after confirming there would be no issues did he lock in September 30th for the premiere.
Meanwhile, the user "FemmeBoy," who had asked Shen Zhiyao to divine the show’s premiere date, became instantly smug after seeing the forecast for September 30th.
[FemmeBoy: @Shen Zhiyao, weren’t you asking me for a divination fee? Looks like your prediction was wrong! You want a divination fee from me? In your next life! @Qing Qing Wo Wo I wish the show an explosive premiere and great success!]
[FemmeBoy: @Shen Zhiyao, September 30th is going to be a beautiful sunny day! I hope your career implodes soon!]
While the entire internet was bashing Shen Zhiyao, FemmeBoy’s posts were liked and reposted by countless people. Overnight, his follower count skyrocketed to 250,000.
[FemmeBoy, your name might sound girly, but you’re a real man! You did what I’ve always wanted to do but never dared!]
[Followed! I also wish the *Qing Qing Wo Wo* premiere goes smoothly under clear blue skies! And I wish Shen Zhiyao and Jin Fan a happy union and a speedy career implosion!]
[I wonder if Shen Zhiyao will quit the show if she’s wrong. *Qing Qing Wo Wo* is a major production, after all. Sticking a charlatan in there doesn’t look good, does it?]
[I had a whole speech prepared to come in here and curse her out! But then I got here and realized you guys have already said everything I wanted to say! What’s left for me to curse about...]
[Go call Shen Zhiyao a scumbag! I called her that in front of my parents, and they pinned me to the floor and beat me! Shen Zhiyao is such a vixen; she’s completely charmed my parents!]
[Don’t even mention it. My dad just said he’d kick me out of the house if I say another bad word about Shen Zhiyao.]
Soon, a huge wave of older fans appeared on Weibo, raising the banner in defense of Shen Zhiyao.
#IWillProtectMyStreamer!
Shen Zhiyao might not have had a massive number of fans, but their loyalty was extremely high. Her fanbase ranged from 50-year-old seniors down to teenage students.
They didn’t just keep an eye on things online; they also protected Shen Zhiyao vigilantly offline, refusing to let anyone speak ill of her.
A well-known entrepreneur even posted on Weibo: [If anyone dares to slander Shen Zhiyao again, I will see to it that their family is ruined!]
A comment like that once again sent Shen Zhiyao to the top of Weibo’s trending topics!
