Chapter 49 (1)

     Wang Xinya bought black hot searches for Shi Xi, and arranged for big fans of variety shows and water army to lead the rhythm, wanting to make a big deal out of it, put a black label on Shi Xi, so that Shi Xi could not be on the strange experience home, and even no longer qualified to compete with her for other resources in the future.

     Now the matter has really become a big deal, but it is Wang Xinya herself who has been caught in the whirlpool of public opinion. Because the evidence is too solid, before Wang Xinya responded, a large number of rational fans have already quit.

   【I was happily eating melons, but was hit by a brick… Damn, it turned out that my house collapsed.】 

   【Using this method to attack artists from the same company is really dirty. With such a bad character, she dares to establish a simple and sweet personality. I am very upset now. 】

   【I am so upset. I changed my ID and avatar overnight, and tomorrow I will pack up my collection of Wang Xinya’s magazines and send them to the scrap yard! 】

     On one side, fans quit, and on the other side, netizens condemned.

   【Wang Xinya used to be a friend of Shi Xi in “Evening Canteen”. Later, it was revealed that she and Shi Xi were not familiar with each other at all. At that time, I felt that her character was a bit problematic. 】

   【Wang Xinya liked the Weibo of Strange Experience House not long ago. It is reasonable to suspect that she planned this series of events in order to compete for resources. 】

   【Why hasn’t Wang Xinya responded yet? She dared to buy off big fans to black Shi Xi, but she didn’t dare to take responsibility? Apologize to Shi Xi quickly. 】

   【Fans of Strange Experience House, wake up, don’t believe everything you hear, and don’t know that you are being used as a gun. Having said that, you have to apologize to Shi Xi, after all, she is the most innocent in this matter. 】

     Seeing her name on the hot search, Wang Xinya was unbelievable at first, Then she panicked, and finally the rage of being betrayed dominated her brain. She called the “Original Resident of the Strange Experience House” frantically. After the call was connected, she angrily questioned:

     “Are you fucking sick? Why did you suddenly post evidence online? Do you think that I will be the only one who will be finished if you do this? You are also completely finished! Did Shi Xi find you and give you more money to ask you to do this?!”

     “She didn’t find me, but a ghost came to my door!”

     The “Native of Strange Experience House” is still dominated by that fear. She said in a trembling voice: “I regret it now. If I hadn’t been blinded by money and agreed to you and did something immoral, the ghost wouldn’t have come to my door!”

    “What nonsense are you talking? I don’t care if you’re serious or joking. Delete those two Weibo posts right now and post another one clarifying that the person you dealt with wasn’t me,” Wang Xinya demanded coldly, “If you do that, I’ll forget about this and give you an extra 500,000.”

     “Even if you give me one million, I won’t do what you say. If I lose my life, why do I need so much money? If you don’t do bad things during the day, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night…”

     The “Native of Strange Experience House” remembered the creepy voice again, and cold sweat broke out on her palms: “I will release all the evidence in my hand. You don’t have to struggle anymore. I advise you to apologize to Shi Xi publicly and try to get leniency, otherwise you will be the next one to be visited by ghosts!”

     “You crazy.” Wang Xinya’s scalp was numb because of her neurotic words. Knowing that she would never change her words, she could only hang up the phone angrily.

     “The Native of Strange Experience House” was determined to make up for her mistakes, and released more evidence, sorting out Wang Xinya’s plan exactly.

     When the online public opinion reached a climax, Shi Xi had already commissioned a law firm to send a lawyer’s letter to Wang Xinya and the “Native of Strange Experience House”. She forwarded the law firm’s Weibo, saying that the Internet is not a lawless place and she will pursue the matter to the end.

     The comment area of this Weibo is very lively.

     There are old fans of the variety show who came to apologize, and there are also those who ate the melon and then became Shi Xi’s fans, and many people left messages to support her to defend her rights to the end.

     “After calming down, I watched the video ‘Open the Strange Experience House with Xiao Shi’s Way’ again. After removing my prejudice, I found that this video is really creative.”

     Lin Wenyi, feeling relaxed, snuggled into the sofa and read the comments out loud to Shi Xi: “I just wanted to eat some melons, but Xiao Shi was really beautiful. I went to do some archaeology and found that she was still a treasure sand sculpture girl. I immediately fell in love with her!”

     “Okay, no need to read it,” Shi Xi looked at the time: “You have been busy for so long, you should go back and rest.”

     “Anyway, Wang Xinya will definitely not come up with any reversal. This matter is settled. Just leave the finishing work to me, and you can rest at ease.” Lin Wenyi stretched: “Then I will go back first. When you are free, we have to invite Senior Huang Tao and Duan Jingyi to dinner. He helped a lot today.”

     “Okay, you arrange it.”

     The disturbances on the Internet could not affect Shi Xi’s mood. The next morning, she went to Wuyou Temple as planned. In the early morning, there were not many pilgrims coming to burn incense and pray for blessings. Two young Taoist priests temporarily residing at Wuyou Temple welcomed the visitors in the front courtyard.

     Shi Xi greeted them and went into the backyard to find her senior brother. Wuyou Temple was becoming more and more popular, and they had moved their living space to the backyard.

     “Xiao Shi… Good morning, Uncle Master,” Jia Ming picked up the washed vegetables and looked towards the kitchen when he saw Shi Xi coming: “Master is making breakfast.”

     “I smell the fragrance.”

     Jia Ming handed over the basket of vegetables: “Do you want to eat tomatoes?”

     “Yes.” Shi Xi picked one and took a bite. It tasted sweet.

     The two walked towards the kitchen, Jiaming said: “My master and I saw yesterday’s hot search, fortunately it did not cause any bad influence.”

     Shi Xi said lightly: “Because Teacher Zhuang went through the Internet cable to teach the troublemaker a lesson.”

     Jiaming was stunned: “Teacher Zhuang has this ability?”

     They just walked under the shade of the tree, and Teacher Zhuang quietly appeared and said in a low-key manner: “Just keep up with the times.”

     Jiaming stood in awe: “Teacher Zhuang, you are so amazing.”

     Teacher Zhuang smiled shyly.

     Jia Ming remembered something important and asked, “I’ve put the paper offerings that Mr. Bai sent in the warehouse. Should we burn them now or wait until the sun sets?”

     Hearing that they were going to burn offerings, all her ghost friend  appeared, and all looked at Shi Xi eagerly.

     Shi Xi smiled indulgently, “Let’s burn them now. They can’t wait any longer. We’ll go visit Master’s grave after the sun sets.”

     In the morning, they received new clothes, new jewelry and new daily necessities, and also had a hearty breakfast. Several resentful spirits sat in the shadow of the corridor, each holding a piece of watermelon, admiring the flowers and plants in the yard, waiting for the next meal, how pleasant.

     This watermelon was freshly picked. Zhang Qingxuan had chilled it in an ancient well. It was icy and sweet. One bite of it moistened his heart and took away all the summer heat.

     While eating the watermelon, Zhang Qingxuan brought two pilgrims to the backyard: “Junior sister, Jiaming, look who’s here.”

     “Xinxin!” Jiaming and Shi Xi shouted in unison.

     Xinxin wore a small straw hat, with a big smile on her face, and a beautiful woman with long hair stood beside her.

     “Xiao Shi, Jia Ming,” Xin Xin introduced with a smile: “This is my mother, Ms. Xia Miaoyu. We came here to burn incense today. I heard that you are all in the temple, and my mother wanted to come and see you.”

     Xia Miaoyu looked no more than 30 years old, with gentle eyes: “I watched the entire live broadcast of the ghost hunting in Xiaosu Ancient Village. Thank you for saving Xin Xin. If you are free, Auntie would like to invite you to dinner.”

     “Auntie Xia, we are already preparing lunch. Why don’t you and Xin Xin stay for lunch, and we can go out to eat another day?” Shi Xi curved her eyes: “Senior Brother Qingxuan’s cooking skills are very good.”

     “So, we must not miss it,” Xia Miaoyu said with a smile: “Then it’s a deal, the next meal must be treated by Auntie.”

     At noon, Zhang Qingxuan was the chef, and several children helped him to prepare a full table of dishes.

     At the table, the group had a good chat. Xinxin mentioned the hacking incident of Shixi yesterday, and said angrily: “This Wang Xinya is too much. She did this kind of hacking to compete for resources. If they hadn’t quarreled among themselves, I don’t know how much scolding Xiaoshi would have to endure.”

     Xia Miaoyu narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked Shixi softly: “How is the other party’s attitude of apology?”

     Shixi said: “Not very active. She hasn’t apologized yet. She probably wants to struggle again. I’m ready to sue her. She won’t struggle for long.”

     “It’s good to let her be active,” Xia Miaoyu put down the teacup: “She won’t have the opportunity to trouble you again.”

     Xinxin heard this and winked at Shixi: “Don’t worry, Xiaoshi, President Xia will…”

     Xia Miaoyu glanced at Xinxin lightly, and Xinxin stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

     Xia Miaoyu said: “Xiao Shi, if your company does nothing, you might as well start your own studio after the contract expires.”

     Shi Xi did not plan to develop in this company for a long time at that time, and the contract she signed was short-term. According to the current situation, it is indeed possible to consider this matter.

     She nodded seriously: “Thank you, Aunt Xia, I will think about it carefully.”

     Xia Miaoyu nodded: “When you need anything, just tell me directly.”

     Xia Miaoyu and Xinxin went down the mountain shortly after lunch, and Shi Xi left after sweeping the grave of her master.

     Tomorrow she will return to the crew to film, and that night she took her luggage to the hotel arranged by the crew.

     The next morning, she saw the news from Lin Wenyi:

   【Wang Xinya is out of business, all her endorsements have been lost, and she will face huge compensation.】 

   【Affected by her, the broadcast rate of her popular idol drama was directly cut in half, and it was completely out of business. It is said that a well-configured idol drama was originally in contact with her, but after this incident, she was out of the game.】 

   【Very gratifying! But she fell out of favor so quickly, it feels like someone is fanning the flames. 】
