Chapter 26: Third Young Master’s Protection

Just as the netizens were happily digging up the background of the guests, a post called “Those Things That Shi Ran and Best Actor Bai Had to Say” began to gain popularity.

At first, it was only discussed in a certain forum, but then it became more and more popular and directly became a trending topic.

Ji Wenfeng was the first to discover the trending topic and immediately found Shi Ran.

After reading the post, the corners of Shi Ran’s mouth twitched.

It was a fact that the original Shi Ran had pursued Bai Jingtian.

That was when the original Bai Jingtian was the male lead in a Pugilistic drama.

The original owner of this body and Bai Jingtian had a few scenes together and at that time, the original Shi Ran could not get into character which got her a scolding from the director.

When the original owner of this body cried, everyone just watched. Only Bai Jingtian handed her a handkerchief and even taught her how to act.

From then on, the original Shi Ran only had eyes for Bai Jingtian and was as fanatical as an obsessed fan.

After it was exposed, she was also labeled as an obsessed fan, and her reputation plummeted. Everyone was scolding her, and therefore, Bai Jingtian hated the original owner of this body.

“I know about this incident, but it doesn’t seem like you. Is there some misunderstanding?” Ji Wenfeng asked.

How could the calm and wise person he knew ever do such a crazy thing!

Shi Ran touched her nose. “I did it.”

What’s so different about her and the original owner of this body?

Ji Wenfeng looked incredulous. “You followed him to the hotel to seduce him, secretly took photos, and drugged him? Did you really do all that?!”

What a world we live in. Shi Ran was actually so crazy at that time.

Why did he feel that a goddess like that…

Still seemed cute!

“I was young and ignorant.” Shi Ran rubbed her temples and said.

Although Shi Wenfei’s instigation was sometimes involved, the original owner of this body did not do these things against her own will.

Ji Wenfeng too was speechless.

These things seemed to have happened just last year.

“It seems that it’s impossible to get Bai Jingtian to help you clarify.” Ji Wenfeng suddenly had a headache.

If it was fake, he had ten thousand ways to tell the netizens the truth.

‘But it’s true… so that would be tricky.’

“It’s fine. Leave this to me,” Ji Wenfeng said.

Then, he began to make calls and gave one order after another.

At the same time, he began to read through the comments.

[Can an obsessed fan be a celebrity?]

[The production team must be crazy to let an obsessed fan appear on the show with Brother Tian.]

[My heart aches for Brother Tian. He actually has to go on a show with such a disgusting woman. And it’s even a romance variety show!!]

[No wonder Zhou Yufan abandoned her. She’s too pretentious.]

[She cannot even be compared to a toe of our Feifei’s.]

[If the program team doesn’t remove her from the guest list, don’t even think about us watching the show.]

[Get out of the production team!! You’ll be banned for life!!]

After the incident between Shi Ran and Shi Wenfei last time, everyone’s impression of Shi Ran did become better. But now, not only had they returned to before the expose, they had also brought on more scolding.

The tablet in her hand was taken away as Ji Wenfeng couldn’t bear her to look. “Stop looking.”

He knew only too well how terrible it was to be attacked by the Internet.

“That’s interesting.” Shi Ran shrugged nonchalantly.

Seeing Ji Wenfeng’s worried expression, she was amused. “I’m not that fragile. Words can’t hurt me.”

“We can’t not respond to this. My idea is to respond vaguely and let everyone see the truth in the show.”

“This will not only increase the popularity of the production team, but also comfort them. Otherwise, it will be even more disadvantageous for you if you quit.”

“Okay.” Shi Ran nodded.

Then, Shi Ran’s personal account issued a statement.

[Shi Ran]: I’m not afraid of comments. Everyone will get to see what kind of person I am through the show.

[You want to be on the show? Can you get lost? What’s so interesting about a smelly maggot?]

[She clearly saw our Brother Tian on the show, that’s why she wanted in.]

[Everyone knows what kind of person you are. Stop trying to change your image.]

[Your hundreds of thousands of fans must be bought with money, right? Is there really someone who will support such a smelly bug?]

Shi Ran had no reaction. Instead, Ji Wenfeng looked furious.

“Damn! These keyboard warriors are so mean.” Ji Wenfeng was so angry that he wanted to throw the tablet.

“Just don’t look at them.” Shi Ran yawned, completely unaffected.

Ji Wenfeng did not know if he should praise Shi Ran for being so mentally strong.

This also made him wonder again. Would Shi Ran really do something so fanatical?

“We don’t have the initiative this time so what happens next will depend on the program team. If the program team wants to remove you, there’s nothing we can do.”

Ji Wenfeng was helpless. Now, he could only wait for the results.

Shi Wenfei’s side.

She watched the one-sided trend on the Internet and grinned from ear to ear.

“This time, you don’t have to worry about Shi Ran being on the same program as you. I heard that the Film Emperor Bai has already asked the production team to remove Shi Ran.”

Shi Wenfei was engrossed in the tablet. “In the end, she’s just a stupid girl.”

She had only instigated her by saying a few words, but she did not expect Shi Ran to really do it.

“She’ll definitely be removed this time. Ji Wenfeng still wants her to clear her name on the variety show. He’s dreaming.”

At this moment, almost everyone was waiting for the program team to make the announcement that they had canceled Shi Ran’s appearance on the show.

Meanwhile, in the president’s office of the KT Group

“Third Master, one of the guests on our latest variety show, Love Warning, has been involved in a scandal and is being boycotted by the entire Internet. The project team has activated an emergency plan to remove this artiste and try to convince Miss Wen to appear on the show instead.”

Actually, the project team could directly decide on this matter.

However, because it involved Miss Wen, he still asked the secretary for instructions.

Chu Jinchen held up his gold-rimmed glasses between his thumb and middle finger. “She’s not participating.”

He replied affirmatively.

“Yes, the president of the Zhou Corporation is also participating in this program. We invited his fiancée, Shi Ran, and the rumored third party, Shi Wenfei, to use this as a publicity stunt, but we didn’t expect these scandals to be exposed.”

Chu Jinchen’s eyes darkened when he heard the familiar name.

He held out his hand to the special assistant.

The assistant immediately handed over the tablet. It was the post about Shi Ran.

“Shi Ran’s manager didn’t respond?” Chu Jinchen asked as he scrolled.

“They’re saying that they want to show her real character in the show. It’s obvious that they want to stay in the show and deliberately used the production team as an excuse.”

The comments were unbearable. Chu Jinchen’s eyes were cold, but his smile was even more devilish.

“What about Bai Jingtian?”

The special assistant replied, “They’ve looked for the production team to threaten them to remove Shi Ran. Otherwise, they’ll quit the show.”

“Threaten?” Chu Jinchen’s eyes were cold.

He casually set the tablet aside. “No need to remove her. Keep her.”

“But—” the assistant began.

“Tell the project team that if they can’t understand this, they should change their jobs as soon as possible.” Chu Jinchen’s tone was unquestionable.

“Yes,” the assistant nodded, and immediately withdrew.

The project team manager was waiting outside and the secretary immediately greeted him.

The secretary relayed Chu Jinchen’s words to the project manager.

The project manager wanted to cry but had no tears. “Secretary Zhang, what do you think the president means?”

“It’s impossible for Bai Jingtian to quit the show. He doesn’t have the guts to offend KT. Manager Wang, you should know very well how important popularity is to a show.”

The project manager pondered this for a moment, and then realization dawned. “I see.”
