After the divorce, I became a rich girl

However, the news of "banning Xue Bin" was indeed released at the instruction of Xiao Yi. Even though the fans were filled with indignation and wanted to defend Xiao Yi, they could not find a suitable entry point for a while.

In desperation, they could only post some irrelevant posts in those related hot topics, trying to buy a little breathing space for Xiao Yi amid the overwhelming negative public opinion.

Just when Xiao Yi's fans felt isolated and helpless, and the situation was bleak, a netizen commented on a popular post that criticized Xiao Yi: "Why does everyone have to ban Xue Bin when no one is paying attention to Xiao Yi? Xiao Yi is a well-known figure in the entertainment industry. If Xue Bin hadn't done anything excessive, would he have picked on a nobody like Xue Bin?"

This comment was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves among the numerous negative comments.

The originally one-sided public opinion seemed to have undergone a subtle change at this moment.

After all, common sense suggests that as a top artist in the industry, it is unlikely that Xiao Yi would target an unknown little artist for no reason unless there was a reason.

All of a sudden, this comment received a lot of likes and reposts. More and more people began to pay attention to the reasons behind it, and different voices began to appear on the Internet.

It was not until this time that Xiao Yi's fans woke up from their dreams and found that they were actually being led by the overwhelming black hot searches.

In fact, now that they think about it carefully, they have always had full faith in Xiao Yi's character. He has never been the kind of person who would target others without reason.

Over the years, many people have slandered and defamed Xiao Yi, but he has always maintained the attitude of "the innocent are innocent" and has never paid attention to those malicious remarks.

This time, he was so strong and loud in saying that he wanted to ban Xue Bin. There must be something hidden. Xue Bin must have done something that touched Xiao Yi's bottom line.

With ideas and thoughts, fans spontaneously dug out the truth of the incident online.

Soon, the topic of "Why did Xiao Yi ban Xue Bin" soared in popularity and successfully topped the hot search list, attracting more people's attention and curiosity. Everyone was eager to know what kind of story was hidden behind this.

Soon after, some fans publicly offered a reward for Xue Bin’s dirty laundry online, stating that they would receive 300 yuan for every piece of dirty laundry provided. If the dirty laundry was of high value and could be verified, the price could be negotiated, with no upper limit.

As soon as the reward was issued, it instantly attracted the attention of many netizens. It is the nature of the Chinese people to join in the fun, and they were all curious about what kind of negative information these people could dig out about Xue Bin.

The extras of the "Jian Ge" crew naturally saw the hot searches online and the reward notices posted by Xiao Yi's fans. Some of them were quick-witted and immediately thought of the recent controversy over the crew's actor replacement, which might be a good opportunity to make money.

So, an extra sent a private message to the social account that posted the reward notice. After some bargaining, the extra finally got 100,000 yuan.

Afterwards, he told everything that had happened in the "Jian Ge" crew during this period, including Xue Bin's various actions and the series of changes that had occurred in the crew as a result.

The extra added, "I think this is definitely related to Mr. Li. The police came the night Mr. Li arrived at the crew. I heard that the police stayed in Xue Bin's room for more than half an hour, and Xue Bin was replaced the next day."

The fan was originally just trying his luck, but he didn't expect to dig up such a big piece of news. He subconsciously stroked his chin. Everyone in the circle knew the relationship between Xiao Yi and Li Jiawei. If Xue Bin really did something to Li Jiawei, then all the causes and consequences could be connected together!

Then, several big fans with great influence in the fan community gathered together and carefully sorted out the timeline. From Xue Bin joining the crew, to Li Jiawei's appearance, to the police's intervention, and Xue Bin's replacement, one by one, they gradually made it clear.

After some analysis, they became more certain of their guess - Xue Bin was definitely suspicious. He must have done something to Li Jiawei, otherwise why would the police stay in his room for nearly half an hour? Xiao Yi would not want to ban him!

How could fans keep such explosive news hidden? It must be made public to clear Xiao Yi's name.

What's more, now Xue Bin is trying to step on Xiao Yi to get to the top, but this is impossible. He has to ask his fans whether they agree or not first!

Although the internet was abuzz with searches smearing Xiao Yi, and fans were trying their best to find evidence everywhere, from the overall perspective, these did not play a decisive role in the direction of events.

After all, for ordinary people outside the circle, this is just a topic of conversation after dinner, just to add to the fun; but in the eyes of insiders in the entertainment industry, the tricks behind it are much deeper.

Less than three hours after Xiao Yi released the news that he was going to ban Xue Bin, the CEOs of companies that had originally cooperated with Star Entertainment called Liu Chengye one after another.

The content of these phone calls was exactly the same, without any polite greetings, and went straight to the point: If Liu Chengye insisted on protecting Xue Bin, then their cooperation would end here.

Liu Chengye held the phone and looked at the densely packed missed calls in the call log. In less than two hours, he had received calls from more than a dozen partners.

His face gradually became solemn, and he began to have doubts in his heart. If only one or two partners did this, he could still sneer at them, thinking that they were timid and cowardly, and were frightened by a few words from an artist, and had no courage.

But now, with so many partners calling to express their opinions, he felt very nervous and uncertain.

Who is behind Xiao Yi that makes so many business tycoons afraid of him? Did I really underestimate the other party this time?

Just as Liu Chengye was racking his brains, trying to find out from his connections in the circle whether there really was some mysterious boss backing Xiao Yi, at this moment, Yu Ming, the director of the fantasy drama that the company was preparing to shoot, hurried into the office without even knocking on the door.

Liu Chengye quickly put down the phone he was calling, put on a smile, and greeted, "Director Yu, why are you here?"

Yu Ming didn't want to exchange pleasantries with him, and asked directly, "Mr. Liu, I heard that you plan to let Xue Bin play the second male lead in our new project?"

Liu Chengye nodded and said, "I did have this idea. I was planning to talk to you about this in the next two days."

Yu Ming said firmly and unequivocally, "Boss Liu, if you insist on letting Xue Bin play the second male lead, I'm really sorry. I have to give up this project."
