Jian Yan didn't take the gift back, and Ji Yunxin didn't force her. She walked Jian Yan to the elevator and watched her get on. The two didn't say a word until the elevator went down. Ji Yunxin went back to the house. She stood at the door and opened the box to take a look. All the gifts had been returned, not a single one was missing. She was silent for a few seconds and went back to the house with the box. The computer screen on the coffee table was on, and the voting on the official Weibo was still going on. The closer it was to the end, the more heated the situation on both sides became. In the afternoon, the difference in votes between the two sides was only about three thousand. After Ji Han talked about buying the Internet water army, their votes began to double, and what was surprising was that their votes soared, while Jian Yan and Luo Jing's votes did not move. It's not that they didn't move, but compared to the previous crazy surge, they are now in a completely calm state.
Very abnormal.
Ji Yunxin sat in front of the computer, her back leaning on the sofa, one hand around her chest, one hand supporting her chin, her slender fingers rubbing against her lips. Finally, her eyes darkened slightly, and she picked up the mobile phone next to the computer to make a call.
At the same time, someone downstairs was on the phone. Luo Jing was sitting on the sofa, the computer screen shining brightly on her. She was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and squinting at the computer screen. The person on the other end of the phone was still asking, "The water army has been arranged, are you still going to swipe?"
Luo Jing stared at the computer. She was not sure if she could outdo the first place. Judging from the situation in the past two days, there were many Internet trolls there. Although there was still half an hour left, it would be easy to overturn the situation, but it would be easier to be overturned, especially when they were following closely. She thought for a while and said, "No more trolling. Let's try another way. Don't vote."
It was the first time that Luo Jing did something that went against her character, and her voice sounded unnatural. But when she thought of the opportunity to be in a group with Jian Yan, she didn't want to give up such an opportunity.
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a few seconds: "What?"
"I said there's no need to vote." Luo Jing's eyes were dark: "Let's try another way."
Within ten minutes, there was a lot of noise under the official Weibo account. The honeymoon period had always been the focus of attention, and all netizens were looking forward to who would be the winner this time. Just when the competition between Luo Jing and Ji Yunxin was at its most intense, some netizens jumped out and said that there was something shady going on!
—There must be something fishy going on! Do Ji Yunxin and Jian Yan have so many fans? There were no CP fans a week ago, but so many of them popped up just from one video. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous
—I also think there is something fishy going on. They voted so quickly? They just crushed Luo Shen!
—That’s right, I’ve wanted to say this for a long time, what the hell, it actually came to the top so quickly, there must be some capital behind it!
—Let's be honest, she became popular after the video came out. Before that, she didn't even have 400 fans on Weibo, okay? Besides, the two of them are really a good match. Is it so difficult to admit that someone else is better? Capitalists, you are talking as if your Jian Luo CP has no marketing. When the vote was just started, you promoted it everywhere. Now you can't promote it as much as others. Are you jealous of Yunyan CP fans because they have money and deliberately say something shady? Isn't your Luo Shen awesome? Why don't you let her talk to the production team directly
—No matter how awesome you are, you are not as awesome as Ji Yunxin. She is the CEO. If she wants to do something, it will only take a few minutes. I have already seen that there is something wrong with the voting on the date last time!
—Request the production team to conduct a thorough investigation! Our Jian Luo vote has not moved since 9 o'clock, the production team must give an explanation!
Someone in Jian Luo's CP group also sent this link, and said that there was indeed something wrong with this matter, and it didn't make sense that there had been no movement in the past few hours. The conflict in this matter was about to break out, and just when people in the group were about to criticize the program team, a group member said: Aren't they moving
—Did it move
—It’s moving.
Luo Jing saw the group chat turned to Weibo. The data that had been stagnant just now started to move, and the data was running faster than before. She frowned and quickly made a phone call: "Didn't I tell you not to vote anymore?"
The person on the other end of the phone was confused: "We have withdrawn the vote. It's not us."
Not them
Could it be in the group
Luo Jing returned to the group and asked the group members, but they all denied it. Luo Jing was getting more and more confused. She poked the computer screen with a pen, and the voting returned to the same level as before, rising and then being suppressed. The two sides were like a competition, one after another. She stared at the corner of the computer. There were still two minutes. Who was brushing her data
Luo Jing became more and more upset as she looked at the voting data. She simply stood up and paced around the room. At the same time, upstairs, Ji Yunxin had a calm look. Time passed by second by second towards twelve o'clock. The voting column turned gray. The voting was closed, and the first two were her and Jian Yan.
Just as she expected, as soon as the voting ended, someone started to stir up trouble, saying that there was something shady about the program team and it was unfair. Ji Yunxin looked at the water army's words and found them to be surprisingly consistent. She put her hand on the phone next to her and dialed the number she had just made. Within ten minutes, someone started to refute those who questioned the vote.
—There is no need for the production team to create such a shady plot. If it was really done by Ji Yunxin as you said, she, as a CEO, could have just thrown some money at it. Why would she have to create such an obvious shady plot
—There must be no shady deal, if there really was, why wouldn’t the Jian-Luo CP be number one for so long!
—I don’t believe there is any shady dealings either. In the final analysis, I think Luo Sanri is not worthy of being exposed by President Ji.
—They are not on the same level. Although what I said was a bit harsh, Mr. Ji crushes Luo Sanri in every aspect.
—Are you not saying that there is something fishy going on just because your votes are not as high as others? Is this the quality of Luo Sanri’s fans
One side questioned and the other side refuted, and the two sides soon started arguing. Netizens had been very concerned about the program to begin with, and they quickly joined in. In addition to the CP fans on both sides, the netizens' disputes were equally divided. Originally, Jian Yan and Luo Jing had been a CP for a long time, and people had been paying attention to them for a long time. After A Dream, they were still looking forward to the two of them working together again, so they were very concerned after Honeymoon came out, thinking that the two would become a CP, but who knew that they would be cut off in the end. Netizens on the other side felt that there was no need for Ji Yunxin to be shady. She is the boss of Jingyi, but she has to use such a clumsy shady deal on a show, which is totally inconsistent with her identity. In addition, her and Jian Yan's fan works have emerged in an endless stream recently, and the video effect is quite good, absorbing a lot of fresh blood. The success of the vote was expected, and there was no need for a shady deal. Neither side was convinced by the other, and several of them were on the hot search list. The program crew removed them and they were immediately bought up, as if to go against them. At this critical juncture, a netizen's comment broke out.
—Vote again, these two are the right ones!
This comment was immediately praised and a large number of people followed suit, saying, "Re-vote!" "I agree." "No problem." "Re-voting is fair." However, after this comment, another netizen refuted: "Why do you have to re-vote? Do you know how long it takes to vote? How much time does it take? Just because you think it's unfair, you have to erase it and start over? Then it's fair to other participants in the show?"
Jian Yan, Luo Jing and Ji Yunxin are not the only ones participating in this program. There are ten people in total. Apart from the three of them, there are seven others, all of whom have fan bases. No one wants to see their idol suffer, and they are even more unwilling to see this kind of time-consuming thing, so they all joined the army of condemnation. In the end, after arguing for a long time, they came up with a compromise idea, which was to let Jian Yan choose her own partner.
However, this suggestion was strongly rejected by Jian Yan's fans. Ji Yunxin is Jian Yan's boss. If she is not chosen, what if she is bullied in the future? Luo Jing is a big name in the screenwriting industry. Her traffic is comparable to that of a small flower in the entertainment industry. She has countless brainless fans. Jian Yan's comeback this time is thanks to her. If she is not chosen, she will definitely be scolded by Luo Jing's fans in the future. She is not a human being anyway, so this suggestion is not only stupid, but also vicious!
The Internet was noisier at night than during the day. These netizens seemed to be sleepless and had to see the results. The program team also held a video conference late at night. Ji Han sat on the chair and asked, "Have you contacted the operator x?"
"I've contacted them. The trending searches will be removed soon, but she said some people are still buying them."
"Which psychopath is trying to make things difficult for our show?"
“They refused to disclose the client’s information.”
Everyone was silent for a few seconds. This program was a rare example in the circle that it became popular before it was recorded. Maybe someone's cake was really taken advantage of, so the other party used this method to discredit the program. However, the most important thing now is to deal with the current online disputes first.
"How about a new vote? With two hours as the deadline?"
"Or let Miss Jane choose for herself?"
Ji Han looked over with a cold eye. She was a bit like Ji Yunxin. Her face was gloomy and she looked quite majestic. She scolded: "If we change the rules because of a criticism, then why did we set the rules in the first place? Can't we just let netizens express their opinions directly?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Lin Mu said, "Boss, all the trending searches have been removed."
He didn't say the second half of the sentence. The trending search was removed, but the controversy among netizens continued. Moreover, because of the removal of the trending search, the part of the Internet army that said they had shady dealings became more unscrupulous and directly said that they were guilty. The reputation of the program team is now somewhat damaged. Some irrational netizens went directly to the official Weibo to ask for an explanation. The Internet was in a mess. Ji Han put her hand on her forehead and was about to speak when her cell phone rang. She looked at everyone and said, "You guys discuss it first. I'll take a call."
"Sister." Ji Han asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Ji Yunxin's voice was very clear: "Have all the online news been withdrawn?"
Ji Han was silent: "They all withdrew."
Ji Yunxin said: "Okay, from now on you can take a break, and the public relations department will take over the rest."
Ji Han hesitated and said, "Sister, can I ask if this incident has anything to do with screenwriter Luo?"
Ji Yunxin looked at the information reported on the computer and thought for a few seconds. She said, "I don't know whether it matters or not. Go to bed early. Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Han stared at the phone. She heard the hidden meaning behind Ji Yunxin's hesitation for a few seconds. She patted her cheek and walked to the computer: "Okay, everyone take a break."
"Boss, do you have a plan?"
Ji Han shrugged: "The PR department took over."
Everyone understood, and they said hello and logged off one by one, but Ji Han didn't. She looked at the hot searches for the show that popped up again on her computer. This time was a little different from the previous ones. Every sentence was defending Luo Jing and condemning the shady dealings of the program crew, saying that the vote was unfair. She looked at it a few times, shook her head, turned off the computer, and went to bed.
After a night of commotion online, the topic about Luo Sanri being wronged was still trending the next day. Various marketing accounts exaggerated the dark side of Luo Sanri’s suffering, and the program team was rejected for the first time in history. However, Luo Jing, the person involved, did not feel comfortable. Instead, she called frequently: “What’s going on? Didn’t you say not to pay too much attention to me? The focus is on the program.”
The people on the other end of the phone said the same thing, it wasn't them who released the news.
Luo Jing stared at her phone in a daze. Half an hour before the vote, someone helped her buy internet trolls, and now someone else was helping her to seek justice. This was by no means a coincidence. Her right eyelid twitched and she had a bad feeling in her heart.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, there were detailed analyses online about whether Luo Sanri had been the victim of a conspiracy. These analyses were well-founded and had full records from the beginning to the end of the voting. Some netizens had long been fed up with those marketing accounts constantly saying that she was wronged and that the program crew was unfair. Now that this analysis had come out, it was forwarded everywhere, and these netizens began to dig deeper, and found that all the accounts that had been constantly blogging about the topic from last night until now were marketing accounts. Moreover, following the full records, they found that there was nothing abnormal. The data was still being refreshed until before the vote, which was completely different from the stagnation that the CP fans said. Moreover, half an hour before the voting deadline, the votes for Ji Yunxin and Jian Yan increased by 3,000, while hers and Jian Yan's increased by 7,000, just a few hundred away from surpassing Ji Yunxin. It would be better to say that her fans bought water troops than to say that Ji Yunxin's fans bought water troops!
The plot gradually developed in the opposite direction. In just a few hours from last night to now, there have been several waves of results. Finally, at around nine o'clock, the official released a list of cps. Jian Yan and Ji Yunxin were in the same list, and Luo Jing and Yu Yue had the highest number of votes, both of which were related to Jian Yan, so the two of them became a pair of cps. The remaining three pairs of cps were selected by netizens. After the official released the list, it also gave the exact number of votes, and explained on Weibo that there was absolutely no shady dealings in this voting. If netizens find evidence, they are welcome to complain to the program. Of course, if there are any marketing accounts that say that the program is shady, it will also be resolved through legal means. After this wave of statements came out, many netizens tagged the marketing accounts from last night, but they found that these marketing accounts either deleted their posts or abandoned their accounts. It was clear who was right and who was wrong. Netizens no longer focused on the voting for the program, but instead started to brush up on new topics.
In the office, everyone in the production team stared at the computer until the incident died down. They breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Mu sat next to Ji Han and asked, "Boss, have you read the news online? What happened last night is over."
But it's much better than them suppressing it by force. If they suppress it by force, it will be called a stain on the show, black material, but now it has been washed clean. Ji Han nodded: "I understand."
"Was it handled by the PR department?" Lin Mu said, "Were those marketing accounts also found by our PR department?"
Ji Han tilted his head and looked at him: "Why do you need to know so much? Do you want to sell the information?"
Lin Mu was choked by what she said and raised his hand immediately: "How dare I? I'm just curious. These are all big marketing accounts. If they say they will abandon the account, then they will abandon it."
Ji Han chuckled. They were indeed big marketing accounts. It was precisely because of this that the news fermented quickly and spread quickly, and they could set the pace. The more they scolded last night, the more they were criticized by netizens now. As for abandoning the account, the bigger the marketing account, the less likely it was to go against money. This wave of self-directed and self-acted by the public relations department was perfect. Ji Han stood up and said, "Okay, gather at the company gate at twelve o'clock. Send a message to the guests to inform them first."
Lin Mu raised his hand: "Got it."
Jian Yan was still sleeping when she received the news. She was completely unaware of the overnight turmoil on the Internet. The next day, when Su Ziqi came to her and told her that she and Ji Yunxin were a couple, she paused for a few seconds and quickly went to the bathroom to wash up. She didn't have any special reaction. Su Ziqi followed her and asked, "You don't seem surprised at all?"
Jian Yan spit out the mouthwash and wiped the corners of her mouth with a towel. Finally, she put warm water on her face. When the water splashed on her face, she said, "She asked me before if I could be in the same group with her."
"You agreed?" Su Ziqi leaned against the bathroom door and looked inside. Jian Yan was wearing a white home dress, with long fluffy hair. Her skin was white and rosy, and tender after just waking up. Jian Yan shook her head: "No."
However, she knew Ji Yunxin's character, so it was more of a notification than an inquiry.
Su Ziqi said: "Yan Yan, I was actually relieved when I saw you and her in the same group."
Jian Yan hung up the towel and turned to look at Su Ziqi, who shrugged and smiled: "You know, the fewer people who know about your situation, the better. Besides, I don't really want screenwriter Luo to know."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Jian Yan. Seeing that Jian Yan didn't reply, Su Ziqi said, "Why don't you ask me why?"
Jian Yan turned around and said, "Then I'm just asking politely?"
Su Ziqi was amused: "Okay, are you ready? It's time to go."
Jian Yan hummed and looked at the suitcase next to her: "Everything is packed, I'm going to change my clothes."
Su Ziqi watched her leave the living room. She didn't want Luo Jing to know about Jian Yan in the first place, and after what happened last night, she didn't want to know even more.
Jian Yan changed her clothes quickly. After changing, she put on light makeup and followed Su Ziqi into the car. The meeting place this time was in Jingyi. When she was about to arrive, she received a call from Luo Jing. She said that she had some private matters and would not go with them. They would meet directly at the hotel. Jian Yan did not doubt it and agreed and hung up the phone. Su Ziqi turned around and said, "Is it Luo Jing's drama?"
Jian Yan put down her phone and turned to look at her: "Well, she said she would come later."
Su Ziqi lowered his eyes and asked, "What do you think of screenwriter Luo?"
Jian Yan thought for a few seconds: "It's good, very suitable to be friends."
Su Ziqi smiled faintly when he heard the word "friend": "That's good."
The two of them arrived at the company quickly. Su Ziqi took her to the program group. The others hadn't arrived yet, so Lin Mu poured them some warm water. "Please wait a moment, Miss Jian. Director Ji will be back soon."
Jian Yan nodded: "It's okay, no need to greet me, just go and do your work."
Lin Mu agreed and walked out. Su Ziqi sat on a chair and fiddled with her phone for a while, then turned around and looked for something in her bag. Jian Yan asked, "Sister Su, what are you looking for?"
"My USB drive." Su Ziqi raised his eyes and said, "Maybe it's in the office. You sit here for a while, I'll go to the office to look for it.
Jian Yan held the cup and drank some warm water: "Go ahead."
Su Ziqi walked out in a hurry. Jian Yan sat alone in the lounge. There was no one around. She fiddled with her phone out of boredom. The official result had come out and was pinned at the top of the post. She was also tagged in it. Jian Yan exited Weibo without reading the comments. She scrolled through the short video for a while and was enjoying it when someone walked over to her. She glanced sideways.
"Mr. Ji?"
Ji Yunxin didn't have an assistant or secretary with her. She walked to the chair next to Jian Yan and sat down. When she heard Jian Yan's voice, she nodded slightly: "Why are you here so early?"
Jian Yan was still holding her phone, and a funny laugh came from the screen. She fiddled with her phone and said, "I have nothing to do, so I came early."
Ji Yunxin nodded: "Me too."
Jian Yan smiled awkwardly. How could she have nothing to do? Everyone in Jingyi knew that she was a work machine. She worked overtime during the New Year. How could she have nothing to do? However, she did not question it. She just hummed softly and continued to look at her phone. The person next to her asked, "What are you looking at?"
Jian Yan coughed lightly: "Video."
"Does it look good?" Ji Yunxin asked seriously. Jian Yan turned her head and saw that she looked very serious. She paused and said, "Not bad."
Ji Yunxin sat up straight, placed her hands on the long table, crossed her fingers, and turned around and asked, "Can I watch it together?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a message floated above Jian Yan's screen: Yan Yan, I'll be there first, muah.
It was a message from Luo Jing. Jian Yan turned off her phone in displeasure. The entire lounge was silent. She felt uncomfortable and picked up the cup to drink water. Ji Yunxin next to her asked, "Yan Yan, I seem to have forgotten to ask you, do you like screenwriter Luo?"
Jian Yan almost choked on her water as she didn't swallow it. She retorted, "Writer Luo and I are just friends."
The sharpness in Ji Yunxin's eyebrows disappeared, and her expression was gentle. She still crossed her hands and sat upright. Jian Yan put down the cup and said, "Mr. Ji, since we are going to be on the show together, I have something to tell you in advance."
"What?"
Jian Yan turned to look at her and said, "You don't need to spend your time on me..."
"Yan Yan." Ji Yunxin also looked at Jian Yan, their eyes met, both eyes were very clear, she said: "Did I disturb you?"
Jian Yan looked at Ji Yunxin in surprise, and finally said, "Sorry for disturbing you."
Ji Yunxin nodded: "Sorry, I will try to pursue you in a way that doesn't disturb you in the future."
Jian Yan said helplessly: "Can't you see that I am rejecting you? I don't accept it?"
Ji Yunxin looked serious and said in a serious tone: "I know you don't accept me. Strictly speaking, pursuit has a necessary premise, that is, non-acceptance. If you accept me, then there is already a result between us, and there is no premise of pursuit. So it is because you don't accept that I want to pursue you. Yanyan, do you agree with my point of view?"
Jian Yan leaned back in the chair, pressed one hand on her slightly aching temple, and pondered Ji Yunxin's words carefully.
Because you accept and there is a result between us, there is no need to pursue anymore. So it is because you don’t accept that I want to pursue.
It seems, it seems that there is no problem
The author has something to say: Thirty random red envelopes, everyone’s little theater is so excellent, hugs and muahs!
Jian Yan: Why is your opinion a bit strange
Ji Yunxin: What’s strange about that
Jian Yan: Can’t I just not accept you and not have anything happen with you
Ji Yunxin: This belongs to the third hypothesis, but I don’t need the third hypothesis.
Jian Yan: …
