This world always proves a truth that everyone is bound to commit: if you don't mess around, you won't die; the more you mess around, the deader you get!
For instance, Ye Feifei, who's already blinded by rage right now.
——Hua Yunliang, Sister is earnest and serious in telling you, Sister lacks everything except money!
And so, the spectacle of hiring the Water Army to "hand-tear" the newcomer Hua Yunliang in the art scene officially began.
This was the first time Ye Feifei came into contact with the Water Army, a web term that seemed very distant. Although it cost her a lot of soft sister currency, the "naïve" Ye Feifei was still far from understanding the power of this special group.
Soon, Ye Feifei, who had settled matters with the contact party, started a furious commenting spree under Hua Yunliang's Weibo. In the beginning, she was indeed very satisfied with the Water Army's performance, for example:
The host is so handsome!
Handsome, or did you mean crisp? The person above must be joking! [slyly][slyly][slyly][slyly][slyly]...
Host, the girl in this picture has an unclear face. Did you deliberately Photoshop it like this? She's not as pretty as you. Everyone, come and check out the host! [horrified][horrified][horrified]...
Emphasize, the horrified expressions above are shining!
The host is so handsome, I instantly turned into a fangirl, Yunliang, Yunliang, shining… [love][love][love]...
Shining? May I ask when did it go out? [picking nose][picking nose][picking nose]...
Host, your face is so white, what brand of facial mask do you use? What brand of foundation? What brand of BB cream? What brand of lip color? I really want them...
...
While such comments were ambiguous in attitude, at least they weren't overtly malicious! They just gave people the feeling of riding a roller coaster.
In fact, Ye Feifei just wanted to play a prank on Hua Yunliang, to show him some colors. She had already set three principles with the contact person: first, they could hint and insinuate but not directly insult someone personally; second, it was only to target the host himself, not to mention his family and friends; and third, stop after hitting a thousand comments and not drag on.
Of course, having no links to her was the unwritten rule in the Water Army transaction! No need to say more!
However, gradually, the situation began to change subtly, and it became increasingly difficult to control:
Host, your radiant beauty is so so so so… dazzling, it's blinding my 3D titanium alloy eyes. I really want to let my big yellow dog lick the screen, what should I do?
Host, your look of being half asleep is so cute. At first glance, I thought you were a girl; on a closer look, it's simply too perfect. May I ask if the host has a special orientation? I am a guy [shy][shy][shy]...
I'll answer for the person above, looking at this, the host loves women's clothes... Hahahaha...
Oh my, host, is your radiant beauty natural or surgically enhanced? Dare you not post your parents' wedding photo?!
Just wait! Where is the Demon Revealing Mirror? Gender reveal as soon as you come up!
...
Comments with such insinuations burst forth like a flood, the count of Water Army comments having already surpassed a thousand and skyrocketing to 50,000 at the speed of lightning, and still growing.
If this Weibo doesn't hit the hot search today, there's no justice in the world!
Unfortunately, by that time, an exhausted Ye Feifei after a whole day of struggles had already fallen asleep in her bed, snoring away.
However, before tomorrow's sun rises, you would never be able to guess whether the day will be clear or filled with strong winds.
Just as this not so beautiful day still began on schedule, Ye Feifei took a taxi to Xia Yichu's company to discuss the details of the 'Ethereal Orchid' Western gown.
It wasn't even lunchtime yet, and a noise louder than the next came from downstairs, causing Xia Yichu great annoyance! Although she had sent the odd jobs people down to "clean up," the clamorous media reporters seemed to have little intention of leaving.
It's normal for the odd jobs people to not handle it, but it was rather unexpected for her agent to not handle it either.
The agent, Sister Zhang, came up clicking her heels, her face rather dark—oh, no, it was as black as a deep abyss!
Xia Yichu couldn't help but temper her irritation and asked seriously, "Sister Zhang, what's going on?" She tried to sound relaxed, "If they're just some bandwagon paparazzi, just chase them away; no need to be angry!" As she spoke, she considerately handed over a cup of coffee.
Sister Zhang barely glanced at it before turning her eyes toward Ye Feifei, who was busy at the side, barely giving Xia Yichu another look as she walked straight to Ye Feifei. With a hint of coldness, she asked, "Feifei, you know that Sister Zhang has never been one to make a mountain out of a molehill, but since you're now Yichu's personal gown Designer and also part of our Hongyu Company, we're all family, and we should prioritize Yichu's and the company's interests!"
Her deliberately elongated eyelashes fluttered slightly, not seeming too puzzled, but the words that came out were laced with a sharp sting, "I'm very curious, when did you start mixing with that unknown newbie Hua Yunliang who just debuted? Didn't you know that he's the newcomer that Sky Pillar is planning to promote recently? Although his current popularity is not enough to threaten the fresh meat of our company, and Sky Pillar isn't considered top-notch, it's still not proper! Besides, Sky Pillar has been fishing for sponsors these past two years, and now they've even spent a lot of money to send Hua Yunliang to the super popular variety show 'Go for it, Bros!' as a guest for an episode! Their intentions are very clear!"
At this point, Sister Zhang intentionally quirked an eyebrow and continued, "So... you know how to keep your distance from him, you're a smart person, no need for me to say more! If the higher-ups blame us, don't come to Sister Zhang saying I was heartless and didn't help you! Besides, it will affect Yichu too! No matter what, you should consider more for Yichu, right? Isn't that the logical thing to do?!"
Ye Feifei was a bit confused, unable to figure out how to respond in the moment!
She indeed did something related to Hua Yunliang yesterday, but she had hired the Water Army to bash Hua Yunliang; how come from what Sister Zhang said, there was suspicion of her helping Hua Yunliang's rise to fame?
This is illogical?! I am a hater, a bonafide hater!
Ye Feifei, dumbfounded, turned towards Xia Yichu. As someone who'd been in the industry for a long time, Xia Yichu quickly calmed down, reaching out to hold onto Ye Feifei, signaling her not to speak, and looked at Sister Zhang with a faint smile, saying, "Sister Zhang, don't overthink it. You know the relationship between Feifei and me; this is all a misunderstanding. Feifei would never be an undercover agent sent by Sky Pillar! I can guarantee that one hundred percent!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feifei couldn't help but shiver greatly!
——Undercover agent?!
But she held back from speaking, after all, Sister Zhang held a rather high position in the company; even Xia Yichu had to watch her mood and act accordingly, so all Ye Feifei could do was swallow her saliva awkwardly.
With Xia Yichu smoothing things over, Sister Zhang's face eased slightly, but again it flashed with disdain: "Thinking that a small company like Sky Pillar, which rose within two years, can compete for a top spot, is like a toad lusting after a swan's flesh! Aren't they afraid of being laughed out of their teeth? Hmph..." She turned on her heel, leaving behind a trail of cold "characters," "Whatever is causing the noise downstairs, just check Weibo on your computer to find out. Clean up your own mess; it's almost the end of the workday, so hurry and settle it. It would be a bad look if the senior management saw this!"
