Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (24)

Chen Lifeng immediately posted on Weibo.

[Chen Lifeng V: I am now separated from my long-time partner @ChuXiang today. I am grateful for the journey we have traveled together in the past and wish for better development for us in the future. Although our ideas are different, our friendship still remains, so I hope for everyone’s happiness. My new agent @LiOu, my brother, let’s explore the world together in the future!]

After the incident had simmered for a day, Chen Lifeng spoke out again, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention. When everyone saw his ‘peace declaration’ on Weibo, the fans’ initial reaction was rage.

[Xingchen Entertainment is inhumane! For a little manager to force Fengfeng to post this kind of Weibo— you all deserve nothing less than death!]

[Chu Xiang is really good at seducing people, is there someone in the company’s top management that favors her? This biased treatment is too obvious!]

[I have internal information that this PR was ordered by the General Manager of Xingchen. Look at this Liang Donghui, who is 50 years old and old enough to be her father. How shameless! *Photo* Look at this photo— he’s bald, has a beer belly and is ugly. For Chu Xiang to be able to convince him with her ways, blegh!]

Fans have always been fearless and there were quite a number of those who stood up for their idols and expressed their hatred towards the company. Completely being reckless and ignorant, many of them didn’t understand the consequences at all as they followed the trend and hated the company.

Someone posted a photo of Manager Liang, which was quite blurry, as it might be because of the angle. Their malice towards Chu Xiang allowed them to say such irresponsible words casually, and since they had always believed in all the black material about Chu Xiang before, even more fans firmly believed that Chen Lifeng’s previous Weibo post was automatically something that she was responsible for.

From Chen Lifeng’s peaceful statement, it seemed that he and Chu Xiang separated because of disagreement when it came to their philosophies and thoughts. It appeared as if they were still friends, but this was definitely a public relations matter that was requested from the company— Xingchen Entertainment was too much!

The fans felt sorry for Chen Lifeng and they were actually a little tired of venting their anger, but they all put on their armor again. They spared no effort to criticize the company, Chu Xiang and the darkness of the entertainment industry.

The passers-by(1) were very speechless as they couldn’t understand the behavior of the fans. Chen Lifeng was still a member of the company, so were they not afraid that it would be difficult for him if they were to spit and slander the General Manager of the company like this? Besides, Chen Lifeng’s ability to post this on Weibo already showed that he had agreed with the compromise. No matter the reason as to why he agreed, the fans shouldn’t be going against his decisions like this.

(T/N: People that are not fans or netizens that just so happened to come across a certain news article of an artist or a famous person. The news might have just appeared on their for-you-page due to the apps’ algorithm or they scrolled through the trending searches)

Fans also scolded Chu Xiang and Manager Liang for having an affair without a single evidence, which made passers-by extremely disgusted. What kind of joke was this? Were their brains just decorations since they didn’t have the slightest bit of proof to back up their claims? Wouldn’t this just end up spreading malicious rumors and slanders?

When passers-by were speaking of rationality and the fans were agitatedly cursing out loud, an official blog called ‘Compassionate Welfare Institute’ posted a Weibo post.

[Compassion Welfare Institute V: Chu Xiang is a kind-hearted girl who came out of our orphanage. She is strong, brave, optimistic and positive. These insults and news on the Internet are shocking, but we don’t believe it is true. Chu Xiang has always been kind to the world, so we hope that the world will also be a little kinder to her.]

18 pictures were attached to the post, including the certificates that Chu Xiang obtained during her stay in the orphanage. There were also records of her dozens of donations over the years, photos of her playing with the children as she smiled gently and her grime-covered body when she was helping out the orphanage.

Chu Xiang lost her family when she was a child and grew up in the Compassion Welfare Institute. The people in the orphanage were very nice to her and she had been working hard to repay them. Over the years, she has donated more than 10 million Yuan to the orphanage.

Netizens didn’t expect Chu Xiang to be an orphan, let alone the amount of money that she had donated to the orphanage. They also didn’t expect the photos of her being unbothered when it came to labor to touch some of the netizens’ hearts. This allowed a small number of people who scolded her to regain their conscience, gradually silencing their protests. And the passers-by who had already supported her did so even more, feeling that the fans’ curse words against Chu Xiang were unsightly.

This Weibo was quickly reposted. Public welfare was definitely useful in being an umbrella against a sudden storm since it could produce good results at any time. However, there were only a few kinds of ‘whitewashing’ routines in the entertainment industry, so the fans weren’t ignorant when it came to those methods. Combining the Weibo post that Chen Lifeng was ‘forced’ to post and that of the Welfare Institute, the first thing that comes to mind was that the company was helping Chu Xiang clear her name.
