Chapter 281 Trending on Social Media
Xu Yang and his party walked out of the airport.
Xu Yang and the four of them said goodbye to Liu Kaile and Song Li, and got into the car to leave.
"Is Xu's son driving a Rolls-Royce Cullinan?" Liu Kaile's eyes widened.
"What, a Rolls-Royce? How is that possible, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Song Li exclaimed in surprise.
Although she did not know how much the Rolls-Royce Cullinan cost, she knew the brand Rolls-Royce, which is the ride of top tycoons.
"I didn't see it wrong, it was indeed a Rolls-Royce Cullinan," Liu Kaile asserted.
"Impossible, how could his son be so rich." Song Li was unwilling to believe it.
"Just because he's driving a Rolls-Royce doesn't mean he's rich," Liu Kaile thought for a moment and calmed down.
"You mean..." Song Li began to speculate.
"Either Xu Deming's son is driving for some big boss, using the boss's car to pick up Old Xu, or the car is rented."
Liu Kaile felt that only this explanation could account for why Xu Deming's son was driving a Rolls-Royce.
"Exactly, that has to be it. I was saying there's no way Xu Deming and Jiang Qiuping's son could be that wealthy," Song Li nodded again and again, very much in agreement with Liu Kaile's speculation.
"People like that are just pretending to be more than they are, they look impressive but in reality, they are struggling," Liu Kaile said disdainfully.
"Right, but if others want to pretend, it's none of our business," Song Li said.
"That's true, let's go, we'll take a taxi to the hotel."
Liu Kaile and Song Li took a taxi to the hotel they had booked.
In the taxi.
Liu Kaile said, "We definitely need to invite Xu Deming and Jiang Qiuping when we meet and have dinner with Mo Jinxin."
Song Li said, "But Xu Deming declined." Find exclusive stories on mvl
Liu Kaile laughed, "What does it matter if he declined? When the time comes, we'll have Mo Jinxin personally call to invite him, and I don't believe he won't come."
Song Li said, "If Mo Jinxin personally invites him, with Xu Deming's character, he definitely won't be able to resist losing face. As long as he's still in Jiangcheng, we can definitely get him to come."
...
Xu Yang and his group of four arrived at the main Haidilao store.
The main Haidilao store was near the Haidilao headquarters.
Zhao Hai and Zhou Ruyan had already arranged things and were waiting at the entrance.
Upon meeting, Zhao Hai introduced Zhou Ruyan to Xu Deming and Jiang Qiuping.
After exchanging a few words, they entered a private room in Haidilao.
During the meal, Xu Yang's cellphone rang.
He took it out to see that it was from Wang Xiaocong.
"Old Wang," Xu Yang answered the call.
"Old Xu, you and your wife have hit the hot search, quite impressive," Wang Xiaocong said with a chuckle.
"The hot search? How did we end up on the hot search? What's going on?"
Xu Yang was quite puzzled.
He knew that he and Zhao Yuxin were very low-profile people, not public figures, and they hadn't done anything, so how could they end up on the hot search?
"Hehe, just take a look and you'll know," Wang Xiaocong was just calling to tease him a bit, and if Xu Yang didn't know, it was like passing the message on.
"Alright, I'll take a look."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yang opened the trending searches, and indeed found news about himself and Zhao Yuxin there.
The headline: "Piggybacking on the heat of our Ying'er is fine, but this is too much."
There were on-scene photos of him and Zhao Yuxin surrounded by Shen Ying'er's fans.
The poster was Sister Zhou, Shen Ying'er's assistant.
The text read: "You want to piggyback on the popularity of our Ying'er, which I can understand, as our Ying'er is currently very popular. It's normal for people to do this, but when I pointed it out and told you to stop, you should have stopped. Instead, you not only continued but also refused to admit it.
By doing this, you're bullying our Ying'er, and I will expose you so that everyone can see your vile face and let the netizens be the judge!"
This news, in just over an hour's time, had garnered comments from more than fifty thousand people.
Most of these comments were left by fans of Shen Ying'er, all cursing him and Zhao Yuxin, mainly cursing Zhao Yuxin.
Because Sister Zhou's accusations were directed at Zhao Yuxin, he was just incidentally involved.
"How come there's always someone trying to leech off our Ying'er's popularity? It's just so despicable!"
"Our Ying'er is so popular that there are always those who try to leech off her fame, it's an inevitable issue."
"Mhm, other people's idols can't even get others to leech off them even if they wanted."
"Fans switching loyalty on the spot, turning from fans to bystanders, that's absolutely impossible, these people must be actors paid by that woman."
"Yeah, it's just too fake."
"So unseemly."
"It's one thing to leech off the popularity, but to even step on our Ying'er while doing it? Absolutely unbearable."
"Support Ying'er in her fight against that fame-leecher!"
"May I meekly ask, does anyone else think that miss is really pretty?"
"The person above, are you really a fan of our Ying'er? Where do you see that miss being pretty?"
"To the one above, to be fair, that miss is indeed very pretty, seems even prettier than Ying'er."
"Impossible, that must be fake, the result of makeup and camera filters. In reality, she's definitely not as pretty as our Ying'er, who is equally beautiful in both real life and photos."
"Mhm, our Ying'er is the prettiest."
"I'm a fan who went to the airport today to pick up our idol, and I want to clarify one thing: I'm not one of those paid by that miss. I truly was a fan of Ying'er."
"Mhm, I also went to the airport today, we're not hired by anyone."
"That miss in the photos is really pretty."
"Mhm, even prettier than Shen Ying'er."
"Let me tell you, that miss is even prettier in real life than in the pictures."
"Impossible, there's no woman in the whole world prettier than our Shen Ying'er."
"These people are just paid shills, coming out to whitewash, don't believe them."
"These people are going too far, our Ying'er is such a nice person, yet there are always people bullying her."
"It's so hateful that people are always trying to sponge off our Ying'er's fame. Can't they pick on someone else?"
"Ying'er is too kind-hearted. She became popular shortly after her debut, some people think Ying'er is easy to bully, that's why they're leeching off her popularity."
"Ying'er might be easy to bully, but we, her fans, are definitely not to be trifled with. I will make sure that person pays the price."
"Exactly, as Ying'er's die-hard fans, we won't allow such behavior to slide; otherwise, who knows how many others will try to leech off our Ying'er's fame in the future."
"Who exactly is that woman? We must find her out."
"Right, we have to find her and teach her a lesson."
"Anyone who knows her Weibo or Douyin account, share it. I want to pay her a visit."
...
After reading some of the comments, Xu Yang didn't want to look anymore.
He never imagined that he and Zhao Yuxin would end up on the trending search like this.
"Husband, what are you looking at?" Zhao Yuxin, seeing Xu Yang on the phone the whole time, leaned in curiously and asked.
"We're on the trending search," Xu Yang said with a wry smile.
"Trending search? What happened?" Zhao Yuxin asked with a puzzled face.
"You guys can make it to the trending search?"
"What happened?"
"You're not celebrities, why are you on the trending search?"
"Lately, you haven't shown up anywhere, attended any events."
Xu Deming and the others, confused by Xu Yang's words, all looked towards him.
