Chapter 116 The Daily Life of Raising an Internet Celebrity Cat
[To Make the Day Sunshine Brighter for You: Stop trying to whitewash it, it's hopeless!! These past few days have been filled with so many whitewashing articles, it's driving me crazy. Junran used to be one of my favorite singers, but now…]
[Men are all the same: I disliked this celebrity from the start. Why did he have to create a "good man" persona? And his fans got all worked up about it. I just don't understand, this Mr. Jun always claims he doesn't have a girlfriend, no matter where he promotes himself. So where the hell did you all see that he's a good man?! Now look what happened, he abandoned his daughter in the street, not only harming an innocent woman but also thinking of abandoning the fruit of their love. Calling him a scumbag is an insult to scumbags!!]
[JunJun's Little Ranran: Where are we getting cocky? Our idol has always been so good to us fans, and we can't even say anything? If you're so capable, make your idol treat us like Ranran does! If you can't, then don't spout nonsense here. Judging Ranran based on just one video? What if this was a scene from a movie?]
[Passing by Your Smile: I'm just laughing at the fans' selective blindness. I was there at the time, and there wasn't a single camera around. Junran was completely covered up. When I passed by him, I even suspected he was a terrorist. Turns out he was just there to abandon his child. All the videos online were taken by audience members at the scene with their phones. You selectively ignore them and insist on thinking this is a TV drama shoot. Well, I have nothing to say! (Sad face)]
……
Junran scrolled through the comments under her book post. The latest post, promoting her participation in a movie shoot, was completely overwhelmed by netizens' comments. There was a barrage of insults online, and more and more complete videos began to circulate. Even though her agent, Zhou Su, had launched an emergency public relations campaign from the beginning, it was completely ineffective. Netizens only cared about the videos, and even online trolls could not sway the angry netizens. The situation was escalating.
"...Junran, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I've tried everything I can, and I've never encountered such a difficult situation before. The main problem is that this matter falls below most people's moral bottom line. They've already prejudicially assumed that the little girl is the victim, so no matter what we say, no one will believe us. In addition, I also found out that Yanxing has secretly hired online trolls to stir up trouble. You've given them the opportunity to bring you down, so naturally they won't hold back. Besides Yanxing, there are also some smaller forces involved. You've offended quite a few people, and now all sorts of shady characters are jumping out! President Li just spoke with me. It's impossible to completely clear this up. At the very least, we need to cool down this hype. President Li has given us three days. He will fully cooperate with us during these three days. If... I don't want to see that kind of outcome!"
Zhou Su's tone also carried a sense of helplessness. This matter involves too many things, and it's not easy to reduce the heat of this issue.
"Seriously, Suzhou?! Isn't there any other way? You've already been promoted to the company's top agent, don't give up so easily!!"
Junran's voice betrayed no worry. He was actually hoping the overwhelming criticism online would continue. Who knew these comments might one day affect the rabbit spirits in heaven, allowing him to return to the divine realm sooner? Even if they didn't affect the rabbit spirits, would they remain indifferent to their idol being slandered like this? In any case, whatever those rabbit spirits did, he would be the one who benefited, so what was there to worry about?
“There are ways, but none of them are good ones.” Zhou Su rubbed her aching temples. “Actually, all you need to do is prove that the little girl has no relation to you. The tricky part is that the little girl doesn’t have a household registration, we don’t know who her biological parents are, we don’t know if she has any family. You yourself have no relation to her, but what I’m afraid of is that if this gets out, the backlash will be even greater. After all, without a household registration, there’s no way to prove that you’re not her father. And her calling you ‘Dad’ has led many people to prejudge. If they believe you are the little girl’s father, then you not only wanted to abandon her, but you also didn’t register her after she was born, making her an unregistered person. This means you’ve deprived her of her right to live a normal life! Think about the consequences. Some people will believe it, some won’t, and the consequences are unpredictable.”
"That's why I haven't clarified things for you, because I'm afraid of this." Zhou Su was also helpless about this matter. Actually, if the victim had been an adult instead of a little girl, this matter would have been much easier to resolve. But things just happened to be so coincidental. The little girl looked to be only three or four years old. Such a young child is not very sensible and is already in a vulnerable position in the eyes of the public. Regardless of the details of the incident, just looking at the two parties involved, most people would probably support the little girl. The reason is simply this: the child is still young, and you, an adult, are in the right to bully a child?
"It can't be that bad, can't there be a paternity test? Besides, can't the parties involved resolve this issue by coming forward?"
"Ha, aren't there enough cases of fake paternity tests these days? Once the public has made up their minds about something, they'll stick to it no matter what. What can you do? As for the person involved, which person are you talking about? You? Don't you think you've been criticized enough already?"
Zhou Su always felt that she was raising a big baby. Junran was very talented in singing and the director also said that he was very talented in acting. However, he was really clueless in his dealings with people. He naively thought that everything should give way to him and that he should be the priority in everything. If someone did something that did not meet his expectations, he would always think of making that person suffer.
Fortunately, although Junran's ideas are somewhat like those of a domineering CEO, his personality is good. He is funny but also has a warm and caring side. He is open to advice and is willing to entrust things he is not good at to professionals. Overall, he is a pretty good artist.
"Suzhou, you told me before that the consequences of my coming out to clarify things could be very serious. Do you think the person I'm talking about now is myself?"
I always feel like my agent thinks I'm stupid.
"The other person? Is it that little girl?"
Zhou Su was somewhat surprised.
“Yes! I told you before! She has no parents and is now homeless, so I took her in. She is also very sensible and knows that she has caused me trouble. She keeps telling me that she is useful and that I should tell her where I can get her.”
Junran lied through his teeth, and he did so with such conviction and loud voice that Yu Liu heard him clearly. Yu Liu glanced at Junran with disdain, then broke off another piece of the sausage from her hand and placed it on the table in front of her.
On the transparent glass, the orange cat was leisurely squatting there, enjoying munching on a sausage. Junran's house didn't have any cat food, but fortunately, the orange cat wasn't a delicate cat. As a cat spirit, it didn't have to watch its diet, so it could eat whatever it wanted.
Yu Liu finished her sausage and then put the last piece of Orange Cat's sausage on the table: "Eat up, and when you're done, let's check your Shuxiu account."
