The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1291 - 1304: Queen of the Entertainment Industry (15)
"Finally caught you red-handed, didn’t I."
"I never believed from the start that Director Yu would invite Su Xiaohua to join ’An Appointment with Taoyuan’. There must be some inside story. How could she be so capable?"
"From what I know, Su Xiaohua’s academic background isn’t that impressive, right? Is she planning to become a laughingstock on ’An Appointment with Taoyuan’?"
"Or is she just desperately making foolish moves? Anyway, she’s already scandalous enough, negative fame is still fame...."
...
The chat in Su Li’s anti-fan discussion group was buzzing with activity, filled with sarcastic and mocking comments about Su Li.
Holding an ice cream, enjoying the show was Jiang Yuan, who curiously asked his sister, "Aren’t you a hardcore fan of Luo Jian?"
Jiang Yuan pointed at the chat group, "If I’m not mistaken, isn’t this group supposed to be Luo Jian’s fan group?"
Now the chat group’s name had been changed to the Su Li Anti-fan Discussion Group, which made Jiang Yuan wonder: is this what they call falling in love the more you hate?
Hating so much that it becomes love, deep and profound love....
During the time he stood watching Jiangjiang chat, there was only one character being discussed in the group, and that was Su Xiaohua.
They talked only about Su Xiaohua, without a trace of Luo Jian.
If Luo Jian ever found out his fans were like this, he’d cry, wouldn’t he?
The more Jiang Yuan thought about it, the more it seemed true; didn’t he see his sister buying Yuji products promoted by Su Xiaohua over and over?
While she said it was terrible and not to buy it, her actions were quite honest.
And the people in the group were just like Jiangjiang.
Just like now, after their routine of bashing Su Li, the topic shifted to discussing the Yuji brand.
He saw a uniform response on the screen: Don’t use it, don’t buy it.
"Trust me, resist Su Xiaohua, I absolutely won’t buy what she promotes, just to spite her."
"Support the post above."
"Support the post above +1"
...
Meanwhile, his sister typed rapidly on the screen: Already bought, indeed not useful, have warned everyone around me.
Jiang Yuan looked complicatedly at his sister after she finished typing those words, then took the newly launched Yuji hand cream next to him and applied it on her hands.
Unable to resist anymore, Jiang Yuan asked, "Doesn’t it hurt your conscience to reverse facts like this?"
If it’s not useful, then don’t buy it.
He glanced back at Jiangjiang’s dressing table where all the familiar bottles were replaced by roughly packaged ceramic bottles.
Just like cheap, unbranded products scavenged from a street stall.
Hearing her brother’s question, Jiangjiang wasn’t the least bit guilty and responded confidently, "If I say it’s good, wouldn’t I be slapping my own face? Besides, if I say it’s good and the public knows it, what if the manufacturer gets ideas and raises the price?"
Jiang Yuan: "....." That reason sounds so reasonable, it’s hard to argue against.
".... I heard the Yuji brand was almost bankrupt. If it becomes too niche and not enough people know about it, the company might not sustain and directly shut down its production line."
Resting her chin, Jiangjiang thought for a moment, "What you said makes sense, it’s possible, then I better stock up some goods at home."
"Bro, do you have any money left in your account?"
Jiang Yuan guarded his wallet warily, "You, what do you want to do?"
Jiangjiang chuckled, "Just that lately there’s too many things I need to buy, money’s running short, I’ll pay you back when I get my allowance next month."
Jiangjiang probably still doesn’t know, since falling into the anti-Su Li pit, wallets have been strangers.

Luo Jian, who had been feeling uneasy lately, always wanting to trouble Su Li but finding no way, couldn’t possibly let go of the hot news involving Su Li and Director Yu.
Su Li, this woman, is she part turtle?
Hiding in her room, not even stepping out.
Even if he wanted to do something, facing someone who could hermit away, he had no other means than to spread some ambiguous online stories.
With so many baseless rumors, not only did it repel netizens, but also made them think someone was deliberately blackening him.
And lately, the only one with enmity towards her was him, Luo Jian.
It’s frustrating how accurately people guess these things.
But even if he’s behind it, he can’t admit it.
Knowing that Su Li distanced herself from the show, offending Director Yu, brightened Luo Jian’s mood, "Quick, get the trolls to latch onto this and make an issue out of it."
"This woman is... daring to even offend Director Yu." Even Luo Jian himself had to show some courtesy to Director Yu.
However, Luo Jian’s elation soon faded, replaced by a look of clenched teeth and anger, "Damn woman, getting the chance to be on the same stage as Jinzhi and not knowing to appreciate it...."
The assistant standing by: "....." Just feels like ever since Luo Jian fell out with Su Xiaohua, he’s been in a bizarre mood, getting even more neurotic now.
Xu Jinzhi passing the opportunity to Su Li made him angry.
Su Li refusing to participate also made him angry.
What exactly does he want.....
To snap Luo Jian out of this bizarre mood, the assistant shifted the topic, "Pay more attention to your fan’s engagement lately; their activity level seems to have dropped a lot."
"Your latest song is lagging behind by over fifty places on the chart, which has never happened before, and I notice the few top fans who used to spend the most for you haven’t been participating in the rankings...."
Luo Jian impatiently listened, "Did you not notify them in advance properly?"
Confident of his fans’ loyalty and adhesion, Luo Jian assumed that they must not have been notified in time, causing them to miss the ranking period.
Otherwise, could they have simply forgotten?
Assistant: "...." He was sure he had sent the notification three times, and all those top fans had responded well.
In fact, Luo Jian’s wild guess was right.
Like Jiangjiang, immersed in the joy of being an anti-Su Xiaohua, she really... forgot being busy....
The assistant couldn’t explain, so he just gave more reminders, "Interacting with fans is still necessary."
"Got it."
The assistant sighed, not knowing if Luo Jian actually took it to heart.
The words earlier were already said mildly. In reality, it’s not just lack of engagement from fans.
There’s literally zero activity, to be honest.
The assistant was considering whether to organize a fan appreciation event to gather Luo Jian with fan representatives, to reinforce fan unity.
Although looking at Luo Jian’s current mood, it’s not a good time to bring this up.

Su Li’s statement on Weibo set off another storm.
Especially when she @mention Xu Jinzhi and Director Yu.
