Chacha thought that this big brother must be addicted to smearing her.

Someone must have leaked information to him or he infiltrated the crew himself to get a handle on her and launch a desperate counterattack. His reputation was screwed now so he probably doesn’t care if he released more dirt on her. If it was proven that he leaked false information in the future, he’d just apologize again.

Those who were thick-skinned have nothing to fear.

However, netizens who knew about Chen Cha had learned from past experiences and weren’t immediately stirred up by emotions.

【It’s you again? Are you holding a grudge and want to smear Chacha?】

【The picture only shows Chacha taking the boxed lunch from Ning An’s hand. Maybe it’s because she wanted to see what’s inside. What can this prove?】

【Damn it, you’re really a malignant tumor.】

When passersby and netizens saw this style, they instinctively thought that Chen Cha might have been slandered, so they started scolding Big Black Rabbit. However, there were also different voices, such as, why did Chen Cha take Ning An’s boxed lunch?

Chacha had only learned about the matter when Wei Jinsheng called her using Gu Fanghua’s mobile phone.

Previously, Gu Fanghua refused to lend it to him and he didn’t dare to ask her again, but this time, it was unknown what tactic he used, but he actually managed to get hold of Gu Fanghua’s phone.

Wei Jinsheng said, “Chacha, clarify the matter first, but no need to bother about that idiot blogger for now. When we’re done, I’ll release a trailer with the whole process. This way we won’t even have to pay for publicity. After the evidence is presented, I’ll go find my brother’s personal lawyer and sue that stupid blogger. Don’t worry, I will never let you be wronged.”

Chacha asked, “Is my reputation not as expensive as the publicity fee?”

Wei Jinsheng said, “It’s a hundred times more expensive, but currently, we’re still a little poor.”

Chacha told him, “I can agree, but you’re not allowed to look for me during the filming period.”

Wei Jinsheng fell silent. He was caught in a struggle between the importance of life and publicity fee.

In the end, the publicity fee won.

After all, he only couldn’t find her during the filming. Once it was over, he could still pester— ah, no— pursue her as much as he wanted.

Wei Jinsheng gritted his teeth and said, “Okay.”

Chacha smiled. “Deal.”

Chacha posted on Weibo, 【Some people are really idle. They don’t do serious work every day and only think about slandering people [Spread hands]】

Soon, Wei Jinsheng, Gu Fanghua, Ning An and others all forwarded her post.

The director and the other actors forwarded it, and it could be said that in order to quell the rumor, Ning An, the person involved, had also done so, thus Chen Cha must really be unjustly accused.

Moreover, most of Ning An’s fans came from Chen Cha, so they naturally stood on Chen Cha’s side.

This matter became popular not because Chen Cha was slandered again, but because Big Black Rabbit was too ruthless to Chen Cha and persisted on slandering her. With a certain story, netizens were very happy eating melon for a while.

But the next day, the direction of the comments suddenly changed, and a lot of sock puppets appeared, all smearing Chen Cha.

【Why did Ning An forwarded Chen Cha’s post? Because it doesn’t matter what she wants, she can only forward it as she’s oppressed by capital. Chen Cha has money so she can do whatever she wants. Therefore, the people who stand for Chen Cha are the ones persecuting Ning An.】

【Don’t you guys find it strange? Chen Cha’s expression looks like she’s angry while Ning An looks like she’s about to cry. This is white washing. Tsk, tsk, tsk, how many paid posters did Chen Cha hire? Moreover, the Director, Wei Jinsheng, probably saw that Chen Cha has many followers and didn’t dare to offend her, so he sacrificed others for his own sake. Tsk, tsk, tsk.】

【Ning An is really too weak. She was bullied by Chen Cha in school, but even if netizens wanted to stand up for her, she didn’t dare to speak out. Maybe she’s hugging Chen Cha’s thigh in order to film. In any case, take a look guys, the result of not resisting is to be bullied again. This time I don’t sympathize with Ning An, she deserves it.】

These kinds of statements immediately swept through the comment sections of all relevant people, making the matter even more popular.

This time, passersby felt that those remarks seemed more credible.

As a result, justice warriors went into overdrive and flooded into the Weibo of people related to Chen Cha.

The last wave of netizens who were suspected to be paid posters focused on slandering Chen Cha, Ning An and Wei Jinsheng, with an attitude of not giving up until these three people were obliterated. But justice warriors didn’t have so many worries. They just want to scold everyone, so even Gu Fanghua’s Weibo was swarmed.

Gu Fanghua had the most loyal fans and battle with them was the most intense. The justice warriors were defeated after being scolded back all afternoon.

But they quickly settled their hearts and instead of quitting the stage because of this tiny failure, they turned their attention to Chen Cha and the others.

Chen Cha’s followers weren’t fakes and once again, justice warriors were thwarted. However, they would never be truly defeated. Some people stuck on Chen Cha’s Weibo, while most went to look for Ning An and Wei Jinsheng, these two soft persimmons^[1]pushovers.

The large group of suspected paid posters continued to scold Chen Cha.

Wei Jinsheng was overjoyed. The matter was about to subside, but he didn’t expect that someone would hire spam accounts to smear Chen Cha. It seemed that she had many enemies. Moreover, he now had an opportunity to call Chen Cha.

Just when Chacha was thinking that Wei Jinsheng was probably going to call her, her phone rang. Because of their previous agreement, Chacha released him from her blacklist so this time, he’s using his own phone to contact her.

“Chacha, feel free to clarify now. I will release the footage tonight.”

“Okay.”

“By the way, have you eaten yet? Do you want to have a meal together?”

“Are you that free?”

“We can just order takeout to the set.”

“Focus on your work, Director Wei. I don’t want my money to go down the drain.”

“It’s not necessarily—”

Chacha ended the call.

After doing so, she posted on Weibo, 【What an odd thing, paid posters accusing passersby of being paid posters.】

【I was just saying. There are suddenly so many people with strange way of talking. At that time, I thought they’re paid posters, but then they called me a paid poster. Damn, I didn’t even know when I became one. I’m so angry and wanted to rant, but it’s already been said for me [Dog head]】

【But I think there’s some truth in what the paid posters are saying?】

【Accused paid poster +100058.】

In the evening, Wei Jinsheng released the edited video and @’ed Chen Cha and Ning An, who naturally forwarded it.

The timing of the clarification was just right. The paid posters retired after completing their work. Whatever happened afterwards had nothing to do with them.

After watching the video, passersby felt that they had scolded the wrong person and went quiet. However, it was inevitable that some weird people not only did not feel ashamed that they were wrong, but even pointed weird things.

【Why does it seem like Chen Cha wants to fatten everyone up and only Ning An can be thin and beautiful? What kind of girls love is this? I feel like I’ve discover something extraordinary. To be honest, I don’t believe there’s nothing between them.】

【+100086. Why do I think that Chacha is in love with Ning An? Aren’t things like body management done by managers? What kind of love would make Chacha steal Ning An’s manager’s job?】

【This, this stood out to me as well!】

Chacha didn’t know much about the turmoil on the Internet. She just realized that she had a lot of enemies and they probably would continue to increase.

In that case, while she could just hire bodyguards, it’s still better to enhance her defense capabilities.

Chacha immediately found Ding Puyu and told him, “I want to learn self-defense. Please help me choose a martial arts school and also find two bodyguards for me.”

Ding Puyu thought for a while and said, “President Xiao Cha, you’re very popular and everyone at school probably knows you. If you hire bodyguards, it might only make people think too much. Why don’t you practice self-defense first and wait for the bodyguard thing later. Moreover, the company is close to Chengda University. The probability of encountering danger going to and fro with this distance is low.”

Chacha nodded. “Okay.”

Ding Puyu added, “The activity plan is out, here it is.”

Chacha roughly scanned the document. The activity plan was actually very simple, that was, to open an online store. At present, Taobao hadn’t become popular yet, but people already found it useful. There were currently many discounts for opening up a store and they could also seek official cooperation with Taobao to obtain more benefits. After all, they could bring them a large number of customers.

The purpose of opening a Taobao store was to sell the developed merchs to fans. The company had many accounts under its belt, covering various fields, such as historical facts, plants, insects, and so on. They could create books or cute pendants for them.

The store was opened under Chacha’s name and the rest was entrusted to experienced personnel. For things like merchs, it was necessary to contact manufacturers and design unique products. Because of this, they had to recruit more people and create a new department.

It’s a cash burning endeavor, a huge one.

Chacha learnt what it meant to be so poor that she couldn’t afford to buy any food.

Liao Boyi had a share at Qingcha, which was the biggest reason why Chacha was able to hire him in the first place. He was planning to start a company on his own and didn’t have enough money, so he cooperated with Chacha.

He’s very attentive to all kinds of things, after all, the company developing well was also a good thing for him. Therefore, most of Chacha’s usual workload was shared by him.

Ding Puyu continued, “The person in charge on Taobao’s side has made an appointment to meet tomorrow at 5 pm.”

“Alright.” Chacha nodded.

She printed out her class schedule and given it to Ding Puyu and the other assistants beforehand. Basically, they would arrange her work schedule so it wouldn’t conflict with her classes.

She had two classes in the afternoon the next day which would end at 4 pm.

The two classes were all about ideas.

When Chacha was doing things, she usually doesn’t think about anything else and only focuses on what was in front of her. This was one of the reasons why she didn’t find it very difficult when she’s studying.

Of course, there were also some things that she found hard to understand, such as the meaning of literatures and so on. When she was a child, she felt that she could never study liberal arts.

In the language subject, if it wasn’t for the fact that there’s a fixed set of answers, such as comprehension questions, she would probably only get a score from her neat handwriting.

This type of subject were one organized their ideas was quite interesting and time passed before she knew it.

After class, Chacha immediately went back to the company and headed to the agreed-upon location with Liao Boyi, his assistant, Xiao Wang, and Ding Puyu.

In the car, Liao Boyi asked, “President Xiao Cha, don’t you feel tired from running back and forth between school and work?”

“It’s all right, it’s pretty interesting.”
