“You don’t really want to get into the Faculty of Law, do you?” Wen Yu scratched his head. Seeing Wen Nian’s unhappy expression, he thought that Wen Nian didn’t want to be famous.

“Actually, it’s nothing much. I know that you filmed the public service advertisement because you wanted to speak up for these left-behind children, not to become famous.”

Upon hearing Wen Yu’s words, Wen Nian knew that he had misunderstood. Hence, she explained, “These keywords were obviously paid to be trending. A public service advertisement wouldn’t have such a huge impact.”

However, Wen Yu did not think so. “Why not? My classmates said that you’re the number one starlet in the entertainment industry after watching your movie and advertisement! Besides, your previous movie’s box office was so good. Perhaps the netizens like you.”

Wen Nian shook her head. “It’s New Year’s Eve now. There will be a lot of information from the governments everywhere. It’s impossible for the hot search on the platform to be just one person from the entertainment industry.”

She swiped her phone again and pointed at the other celebrities. “These A-list celebrities all have movies screened during the Spring Festival. Their number of fans is at least five to six million, or even tens of millions. It’s impossible for my public service advertisement to receive so much traffic. This doesn’t make sense.”

“And look at these keywords. Every one of them has my name on it. If it’s a trending topic in the entertainment industry, many of them are simply…”

Seeing Wen Yu tilt his head and look at her with wide eyes, Wen Nian realized that she had said too much.

She quickly said, “Director Xu previously said that I would definitely attract haters if I filmed a public service advertisement, so he explained these to me.”

Hearing her say this, Wen Yu nodded. He knew it. Two days ago, Wen Nian had said that she wanted to enter the Law Faculty. Why would she start researching the entertainment industry?

However, this trending topic was real. The scenes in Wen Nian’s advertisement had been screenshotted and reposted by many people. Almost all the social media platforms had news about her.

Wen Yu asked again, “Could it be that Director Xu bought the trending searches? But didn’t you say before that he was so poor that he could borrow money from someone?”

Wen Nian rolled her eyes at him. Could it be that even if a famous director made a comeback, he wouldn’t have any money?

However, she did not say much. She only said that it might be her fan and that the trending topic would probably be gone in an hour.

However, to her surprise, less than an hour later, Wen Nian was noticed again.

This time, it was her and Wang Bing who went on the trending searches together. It even included Huang Yue.

The photo was a surveillance photo of Wen Nian and Wang Bing leaving Xu Chang’s studio together. Two of them could tell that Huang Yue was also there. The photo was not clear, but one could tell who it was.

Many female celebrities were paying close attention to Xu Chang’s next movie. In the previous movie, he had promoted Wen Nian. This movie actually used a celebrity who wasn’t famous at all and said nothing about it and many people were angry about it.

The informant pointed at Wen Nian and claimed that Wen Nian had recommended Wang Bing to Xu Chang. Otherwise, why would Director Xu’s movie allow Wang Bing to audition? Moreover, Wen Nian did not care about their past relationship and directly blocked Huang Yue’s audition path, causing her to miss this opportunity.

The netizens’ memories were short. Other than Wen Nian’s die-hard fans, almost no netizens remembered what grudges Huang Yue and Wen Nian had before.

Many people were lying at home and playing with their phones during the new year. This much entertainment information also enriched people’s amateur lives.

Moreover, Wen Nian was not the only one who recommended Wang Bing for this movie. Someone also found out that Director Xu had chosen a plain person to be the female lead in the previous movie, but for some reason, it was changed to Wen Nian.

The netizens analyzed the matter from the beginning to the end. Many people thought that Wen Nian must have bewitched Xu Chang and made him listen to her.

Some people even said that Wen Nian might have bewitched Wei Ming too. Otherwise, who would report their father for murder on New Year’s Eve?

However, Wen Nian’s fans surprisingly did not scold the netizens who slandered her. They almost replied in unison.

“Thank you for your support of Wen Nian. Please pay more attention to the left-behind children. The left-behind children’s endowment fund has been opened. Offer your love and let the left-behind children have a good future!”

At this moment, in the room on the second floor of the Zhao family’s house, Shen Mo looked speechlessly at his wife who was typing rapidly on her phone.

How long had Wen Nian’s matter been trending? How long had Zhao Jiao maintained her phone and sent messages? Even Shen Mo had been instructed by her to wake up her employees for work during the new year.

“Darling, let me massage your neck. Your cervical spine will hurt soon.”

Shen Mo had just put his hand on it when Zhao Jiao pushed him away.

Without looking up, she said, “Little Wen Nian is obviously being targeted. The fan club is filled with children. It won’t be easy if you’re rash.. If you have the time to massage my neck, why don’t you register a few more alternate accounts on your phone to help Wen Nian control the comments?”
