Chapter 44 -44: This melon is so big today
During the journey, the program team arranged for a meal, with the guests in a private room and the students in the hall.
After getting out of the car, Luo Ning saw Lu Xun approaching from not too far away.
“Mr. Lu!” She greeted him with a smile.
Lu Xun’s handsome face showed a hint of concern as he asked, “Do you know about the stuff that’s been happening online?”
Luo Ning was somewhat surprised. Why was Lu suddenly paying attention to this?
She nodded, “I know.”
Lu Xun asked again, “Do you need any help?”
Seeing the shocked look on Luo Ning’s face deepen, he leaned in and whispered, “Thank you for saving me that day, and for your talisman.”
With that, Luo Ning understood.
So Lu Xun already knew that she was the one who had saved him that day, but thinking about his background and influence, it wasn’t surprising.
“I just happened to be there. No need for politeness, Mr. Lu.”
Luo Ning paused then added, “I can handle the stuff online myself, so there’s no need to trouble Mr. Lu.”
When she had saved Lu Xun, she hadn’t expected anything in return.
Lu Xun wasn’t surprised by her answer; he had gained some understanding of her. She wouldn’t do anything unless she was confident about it.
Chances are, the stuff online might have been something she let slide to provoke the other party to act.
One couldn’t help but say that Lu really got it.
“Let’s add each other on WeChat. If you ever need anything, you can reach out to me.”
Lu Xun took the initiative to take out his phone, “Do you want to scan me, or should I scan you?”
Luo Ning took out her phone, “I’ll scan you.”
No sooner had they added each other as friends than they encountered other people and then entered the restaurant together.
After finishing the meal, Tong Jia, Chai Jing, Wei Yao, and Su Qinglan all took the opportunity to privately offer their comfort to Luo Ning over the online controversy, feeling she wasn’t the ingrate the internet portrayed her to be.
Ji Xinghang didn’t pay much attention to trending searches and forum posts, so he wasn’t aware of the situation.
Seeing Tong Jia and others individually pulling Luo Ning aside to chat, he felt somewhat perplexed.
As a result, during the meal, when they could all be together, he missed the chance to inquire and comfort Luo Ning.
After getting back in the car, the more he thought about it, the more it felt off, so he asked his assistant, “Did something happen? I saw Teacher Wei and the others go find Luo Ning privately during the meal.”
The assistant hadn’t been following the online situation either, as his talent didn’t care about those things.
He took out his cell phone to check and immediately discovered the trending search. After reading it, his expression changed.
Having been with Ji Xinghang for so long, he had dealt a lot with Yan Qiuping and could tell that this must be Yan’s handiwork.
With the situation involving Ji Xinghang’s agent and ex-girlfriend, how should he break it to him?
Seeing the assistant’s troubled face, Ji Xinghang took the phone from his hand and looked at it, his expression growing dark after reading.
“The meaning behind Brother Yan’s Weibo post is to acknowledge the statements in the trending post?” he asked after a moment of silence.
The assistant glanced at his expression before carefully nodding, “It does seem to be the case.”
“Is Luo Ning being scolded by netizens because of this?” Ji Xinghang pursed his lips as he opened the comments under the trending posts.
The assistant said, “With Brother Yan stirring things up like this, Luo Ning has been criticized pretty harshly. Everyone is calling her an ingrate.”
Yan Qiuping had always been quite courteous and friendly to Ji Xinghang in person, but behind his back, he hadn’t refrained from manipulating him and acting all high-and-mighty, something Ji Xinghang didn’t much appreciate.
This wasn’t meant to be an eye-opener, but rather just stating the facts.
Ji Xinghang’s face grew even darker, especially upon seeing that more than half the comments below the post were scolding Luo Ning, along with many leading the charge, which distressed him greatly.
Initially, he had told Luo Ning not to enter the entertainment circle, but she didn’t listen to him, which is why he had let her be, hoping she would give up due to the difficulties.
But seeing her getting scolded like that, he found he couldn’t remain indifferent and just let it happen.
His voice was somewhat hoarse, “The last time I made it onto the trending searches, I didn’t expect her to get scolded and didn’t help her in time. By the time I wanted to do something, she had already refused.”
“This time, I see that Tong Jia and others must have reached out to her in private to comfort her, and I was the last to know—it’s no wonder she got angry and broke up with me.” He covered his face with his hands, his expression filled with sadness and regret.
Seeing this, the assistant sighed and could only say, “Once we get downtown, find a chance to comfort her.”
Whether Luo Ning would appreciate it, though, was another question.
After a while, Ji Xinghang took out his phone and made a call.
“Help me look into Yan Qiuping, everything from when he started managing Luo Ning, I want to know,” he instructed.
More than two hours later, everyone arrived downtown.

The trainees were taken back to the training camp accommodations, while the guests either went home or checked into hotels arranged by the show’s crew, ready to continue live streaming the next day.
Ji Xinghang had intended to talk things over with Luo Ning, but before he knew it, she had already taken a car home, and he missed his chance once more.
On the other side, after Luo Ning returned home, she had dinner with her mother and younger brother, took a bath, and leisurely turned on her computer.
Then, using a hidden account, she sent a portion of her materials to the email of a popular Weibo user known for exposing scandals.
This person was notorious in the circle for revealing truths and daring to offend people, and was even known as the “Disciplinary Committee” of the entertainment industry, with a large fanbase.
Luo Ning knew that behind this person was an operation team, mainly relying on leaking information to boost popularity and gain profit.
However, this person had one rule—they never spread false information or took money to smear someone, always providing evidence with their leaks.
That’s why Luo Ning had chosen them.
About an hour later, Old Zhou, a Weibo user with over ten million fans, dropped a bombshell.
He refuted the previous post that had called Luo Ning an ingrate point by point, providing evidence for each claim.
With the previous post still trending and drawing a lot of attention, his revelation quickly hit the hot searches as well.
At the same time, a star screenwriter also posted on Weibo, stating that the drama that made Luo Ning famous was something she auditioned for on her own, and Yan Qiuping had nothing to do with it.
After reading the expose, netizens first were stunned, then an uproar ensued.
[Didn’t expect that so-called support Yan Qiuping gave Luo Ning had so much sleight of hand involved.]
[The competitive resources from the company that Luo Ning earned on her merit were attributed to Yan Qiuping’s doing.]
[The drama that made Luo Ning famous, where she fought for and earned the lead role through auditioning, turned out to be said as arranged by Yan Qiuping.]
[Seriously, let’s not call him Yan Qiuping anymore, let’s call him Yan Grab-grab.]
[Turns out, Luo Ning’s vase persona was deliberately crafted by Yan Qiuping. I knew it, watching the variety show, Luo Ning clearly didn’t seem like a vase.]
[F**k, Yan Qiuping that piece of trash even wanted Ningbao to take the lead role in a danmei adaptation, was he trying to get her ruthlessly criticized?]
[Look at the photos that were released. Turns out Yan Qiuping had private contact with Bo Xiangxiang months ago, no wonder they signed her as soon as Luo Ning left.]
[Damn, last month Yan Qiuping even transferred Luo Ning’s advertisement resources to Bo Xiangxiang, what kind of sneaky move is that?]
[There’s an even bigger scoop, the role of the Second Female in the drama that Bo Xiangxiang just finished filming with Ji Xinghang, turns out it was arranged by Yan Qiuping.]
[According to a staff member from that drama, Yan Qiuping used his connections to get rid of the original Second Female to swap in Bo Xiangxiang.]
[Weren’t Yan Grab-grab and Bo Xiangxiang just agent and artist at that time? When you think about it, it’s utterly terrifying!]
[Oh my God, go check out Old Zhou’s follow-up exposé. It turns out that the previous post accusing Luo Ning of being ungrateful was paid for by Yan Qiuping, chat and transaction records have been screenshotted and released, verified by experts to be not photoshopped.]
[Mom, there’s always something more shameless, today’s drama is quite big.]
As the revelation spread online, more and more spectators joined the fray, and the new trending topic instantly shot up to number one.
