Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 30 一 Do you call this merchandise? (There’s a lot of entertainment industry content).

Wei Wen noticed that the atmosphere at the scene instantly tensed.

Just…just drinking a glass of red wine, why is everyone so serious?

She unconsciously stiffened her back and looked at the old butler who had just walked over for help.

一 Miss is an adult now, can’t she even drink a bottle of red wine??

The old butler didn’t understand the whole story, but cautiously and tactfully said, “Red wine won’t harm the body, it’s okay to have a drink.”

What else could Gu Fuchen say? He nodded heavily and let Wei Wen take two bottles upstairs.

Drink! Let her drink!

For the moment, forget about the troubles and immerse herself in hedonism!

He turned around and solemnly said to the few heirs who were still in the reception room, “I have something to do, I’m going upstairs.”

Everyone knew that he was going to vent his anger and retaliate against those scumbags. Gu Zexi also had a way to fight back, which would make Jiang Huai, Lu Xuan, Lu Jin, and Fu Jiazhan suffer.

How to retaliate against all the online wrongdoings while respecting Ruan Yōu’s “strongly resolve all problems on her own” principle?

It wouldn’t work to vent frustration like Ruan Yōu did and say, “When I retired before, you didn’t say that?”. Those heartless people wouldn’t be affected by it.

Four people discussed and decided to send Lu Xuan, who had the best relationship with Ruan Yōu, to have a long talk with her and give her strength to fight back.

After going upstairs, Ruan Yōu sat in the lounge and watched an interactive web drama that she had the exclusive privilege of watching six episodes ahead of time as an investor. Recently, she had been staying up late every day and only went to sleep after midnight.

Yesterday, she slept even later.

She went to bed at one in the morning and woke up at eight, but fortunately, she managed to take an hour nap in the afternoon to make up for it. Her mental state was good.

She was waiting for Wei Wen’s red wine to arrive, looking forward to having a “private afternoon tea” before dinner – eating grilled meat while drinking red wine.

It was a unique combination and a great experience!

Before the red wine was served, Ruan Yōu continued to watch the drama without checking Weibo. She was too lazy to do so. She had said what she needed to say, and those who wanted to believe her would naturally do so.

The Weibo post by Su Yue Entertainment was full of insincere and fake remarks, deceiving the uninformed fans. When the post was first released, many people believed his nonsense and sincerely thought that he had bid Ruan Yōu farewell.

Ruan Yōu had left the entertainment circle for over a month, but there were still many people who held onto hope for her.

However, fans were not fools.

The coincidence between “Little Ruan Yōu” trending on Weibo and Su Yue Entertainment’s post was highly suspicious. Some of Ruan Yōu’s fans noticed something was off and did a thorough background check on Yu Yao.

Yu Yao’s Weibo profile does not specify which company she is signed with as an artist, and her content is related to daily life. Her follow list doesn’t give any indication either.

Many people know that there is something wrong with today’s events, but they can’t explain why. They post on Weibo with hot search terms, telling others not to take sides too quickly. The company and Yu Yao don’t have a clean image, and they are even ridiculed, with people saying they are “li zhong ke1理中客 (Lǐ zhōng kè) implying that the person is not acting in good faith and is instead manipulating the situation for their own benefit.” and guarding an empty shell. This is making some people really angry.

At 5:00 in the afternoon, a new Weibo post exploded on Weibo一

【@Ruan Yōu: When I retired before, you didn’t say that, @Su Yue Entertainment】

【After steaming and boiling, a response has emerged, damn, this gossip is so exciting!】

【Daring to call out the company directly, and even tagging them, it takes some courage, completely blocking the last way back to the entertainment industry.】

【Ruan Yōu doesn’t want to return to the industry anymore, why bother giving face to Green Tea Company? When I see the Weibo they posted, I feel nauseous. Yue2onomatopoeic word for the sound of someone vomiting.】

【Yōuyōu, you finally came out.】

【Sigh, Yōuyōu said in the super topic last time that she wouldn’t return to the industry, but now she’s being attacked by the trash in the entertainment industry. It’s our fault that we’re useless. TAT】

Among the chaos, the most frustrating thing is for Ruan Yōu’s loyal fans.

Not only was Ruan Yōu stepped on by others to rise up, but she was also being insulted by her opponent’s fans. Watching familiar faces leave the entertainment industry is painful and there is nothing they can do. It’s normal for fans to switch loyalties, and it’s even more normal for Ruan Yōu, who has retired from the industry, to not have new material to keep everyone’s attention.

But why does it have to be Yu Yao, and why at this particular time?

The question has no answer, they can only sigh and say that Ruan Yōu is an innocent victim and a poor thing who has been wronged.

Now that the poor thing has come out and spoken up, she has received a lot of responses from people.

Few celebrities dare to confront entertainment companies head-on. If they don’t have complete confidence, they won’t do it either.

Under the company’s official Weibo account, the comment section is dominated by “get out” response.

【So, what kind of nasty things did you say to Ruan Yōu at that time, you trash company? Now you’re sucking other people’s blood and rising to the top, do you have any shame? Do you have a face?】

【It’s so annoying, you brainless, brain-dead, and arrogant leaders who don’t treat employees like human beings. I’ve suffered a lot from my leaders at work, and even when I’m browsing Weibo at home, I run into this kind of crap. I’m so angry.】

【Ah ah ah, please petition for Fat Cat or ‘You Xuan’ to get rid of this inhuman company.】

【A group of small-brained garbage.】

【Get out, get out, get out.】

. . . . .

Du Sheng and Zhang Xun saw all of this.

They never expected that Ruan Yōu would have the courage and bravery to publicly refute them.

Although she’s no longer in the entertainment industry, with more friends and more paths to take, there’s no need to recklessly make enemies for herself. Besides, they already know about Ruan Yōu’s family background.

In high school, she read alone and no one cared about her. Entering the entertainment industry was the best path she could find in her life. As a retired artist who lacked money, connections, and resources, how dare she challenge them? She must be crazy!

This lunatic.

Zhang Xun paced back and forth in the office, his heavy footsteps weighing on the hearts of every employee at Su Yue Entertainment.

When they initially planned, he and Du Sheng didn’t just want to step on Ruan Yōu to climb up. More importantly, he wanted to gain Ruan Yōu’s active fans on Weibo.

Especially The Only Brother.

The cotton dolls produced by The Only Brother caused a sensation in the entertainment industry. The custom-made dolls and top-notch designers showcased his wealth.

He was definitely a wealthy second-generation who didn’t care about money.

一The fans who support Ruan Yōu must not be very smart; they only care about her appearance.

It didn’t matter if they were smart or not, as long as they had money, Zhang Xun could let someone like The Only Brother to support Yu Yao.

Top-tier fans are willing to spend money, and Yu Yao’s commercial value is guaranteed to rank among the forefront of the entertainment industry. With commercial value, there will be endless endorsements, harvesting fans’ wallets and making a lot of money.

This was Zhang Xun and Du Sheng’s ultimate goal.

However, Ruan Yōu’s response caught them off guard.

Du Sheng gritted his teeth and said, “I tried contacting her, but she didn’t respond on WeChat, and her phone number is cancelled. I can’t find her now.”

They didn’t even have a chance to ask her to delete the post.

“Now the online public opinion has expanded, it’s not just about Ruan Yōu and Yu Yao, they are attacking the whole company.” Du Sheng’s face turned red, and he nervously wiped the sweat off his forehead. “We can’t let the company be implicated.”

Between the company and the celebrities, most people will stand with the celebrities.

There are too few cases where celebrities criticize their own company, and people love to see the drama. They also tend to bring in the “working people” role and have a natural dissatisfaction with their leaders and companies.

If we let the public opinion continue to ferment, not only will we not make money, but their positions will also be at risk.

Zhang Xun signaled him to continue speaking.

“Many people are dissatisfied with Ruan Yōu’s fans, we should respond generously.”

Ruan Yōu has angered the two top-tier celebrities, Cheng Guyuan and Yu Chi, in the entertainment industry; the variety shows she participated in have angered the fans of other guests due to the program team’s reckless editing of her persona. Even during the cotton dolls incident on super topics, she also angered a small group of people.

Being beaten by the fans of a famous artist over a cotton doll is one thing, but what’s more hateful is that Ruan Yōu 一 a washed-up celebrity who had no influence before retiring 一 was able to surpass them after retiring! At that time, many people questioned the “haute couture” attribute of the cotton doll and were indiscriminately attacked. Everyone was holding back their anger and didn’t know where to vent.

This collectively caused Ruan Yōu to be half blacklisted in the entertainment industry.

Most of Ruan Yōu’s fans are the ones who discovered her and became fans on the night she retired half a month ago. They are people who enjoy following trends, and their numbers are small at this stage. After “Little Ruan Yōu” trended, they couldn’t compete with the two top-tier fans and others in the attacks.

As long as the contradiction is shifted back onto Ruan Yōu, reducing public attention on them, the crisis can be temporarily eased.

Immediately, Du Sheng’s army of water army went to work and responded generously to Ruan Yōu, throwing the black water back.

【@Su Yue Entertainment: Our company has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with Ruan Yōu, but obviously one-sided effort and cherishing is useless. Uninformed agents and company executives heard about Ruan Yōu’s withdrawal from the industry on the livestream, without consulting the company, and withdrew decisively. Our company was angry at this irresponsible behavior, but also wanted to retain the other party, so we found Ruan Yōu that day and invited her to return to the entertainment industry, but she still refused.

Su Yue has done what should be done. To leave the two sides with some dignity, our company will not make any further response to this matter.】

They portrayed the reasonable action of “Ruan Yōu’s contract with the company has expired and was not renewed” as “irresponsible” and portrayed “disparaging her for leading a miserable life after leaving the entertainment industry” as trying to retain her.

They also portrayed the hypocritical purpose of “making money” as the grievance of “inviting her to return to the entertainment industry but still being rejected.”

Finally, they grandly declared that “to leave both sides with dignity, we will not make any further response,” but in reality, they had no excuse to argue.

They still know how to talk and drink green tea.

一Real tea.

Ruan Yōu’s fans are speechless.

However, on the fourth day after Ruan Yōu withdrew from the industry, attitudes towards her online began to polarize, with some people criticizing her and others praising her.

Now, those who oppose Ruan Yōu and believe that her withdrawal from the industry was not appropriate see her response today through a lens of dissatisfaction and do not believe her words. They have been watching and waiting for the company’s response.

No matter how absurd the company’s claims may be, even if there is no evidence to support them, people are more willing to believe the company.

Not just this group of people, but also those who hold grudges against Ruan Yōu over the cotton dolls incident, are more inclined to believe the company’s nonsense. They are many and occupy a small half of the entertainment industry.

【She clearly left the industry to escape. During a livestream with Cheng Guyuan and Yu Chi, who were in the same program as her, she couldn’t answer an embarrassing question posed by the host and used the excuse of looking at his brooch to cover it up. Later, feeling that something was wrong and that she would continue to be criticized, she left the industry to protect herself.】

【I had a good impression of her that night. She was beautiful, decisive when leaving, and had a special charm. But I still can’t accept what she did.】

【The fact that the company didn’t even know she left the industry shows how hasty it was. Even if you resign from a company, you should still inform HR. She did indeed do something wrong.】

【I remember when I watched her on a variety show before, she was very difficult to work with. At that time, when she left the industry, everyone on the internet was nostalgic for her. I thought everyone had forgotten about this.】

【? ? ? Ruan Yōu is the victim! Isn’t it obvious that someone wants to use her to climb up?】

【So what if she climbs up? To put it bluntly, the entertainment industry is all about riding on the wave of popularity. If someone else can ride on it, why can’t Ruan You?】

【Yu Yao is also a pitiable person. Let her go and focus on her career. She needs a chance.】

【She is pitiable and needs a chance, so she can step on Ruan Yōu?】

【Sister upstairs didn’t make it clear, so let me add to it. In this matter, when Yu Yao cooperated with the company and decided to suck Ruan Yōu dry, she was no longer pitiable or wronged. She climbed up on Ruan Yōu’s shoulders, and the company turned around and insulted Ruan Yōu, saying some words of missing her. According to Ruan Yōu’s expression, it was obvious that when she left the industry, she experienced the company’s abuse rather than their retention. Ruan Yōu is the victim, and there is only one Ruan Yōu in the world.】

【Wuwuwu, sister said it well, I’ll give you a like.】

. . . . .

But this rational explanation did not catch anyone’s attention.

After all, when you hate someone, you can’t bear to see clarifications about them, just like how you can never wake up someone who pretends to be asleep, unless you hit them with a “stone hammer” and scare them with facts to make them sit up.

Clarifications go unnoticed, while rumors about her spread like wildfire.

The forgotten variety show expert videos were reposted on Weibo, with over 10,000 shares and many likes. It had been three or four hours since the incident, and Ruan Yōu’s biggest fan, The Only Brother, had not appeared yet. Some began to speculate whether rich second-generation kids are only interested in playing and not wasting their time on fandom.

【Hahaha, I went to take a look, and they are all waiting for The Only Brother to appear.】

【People think that rich second-generation kids waste their time on minor celebrities? What are they thinking? Their faces are so big.】

【The Only Brother is definitely not an ordinary rich family. Those types of big shots have so much work, and being a fan is just a pastime. Everyone in this situation is bad, Ruan Yōu is not a good person, and it seems like the company that wants to suck her blood and Yu Yao are not good either. The onlookers are very amused.】

It feels like after The Only Brother abandons Ruan Yōu, those who thought he was too arrogant during the cotton dolls incident will find him cute and friendly.

Ruan Yōu’s response on Weibo has now become an “unreasonable questioning without real evidence and with an aggressive attitude.”

Of course, there are bystanders who support and believe in Ruan Yōu, but they can’t really argue with the half of the entertainment industry who criticize her.

Until一

A Ruan Yōu’s fan posted a three-minute long video on their Weibo.

The video is divided into two parts.

The first half is a well-known variety show scene where Ruan Yōu is seen rolling her eyes at a talented actor because she didn’t like the lunch served.

This scene received widespread criticism online.

Come on, the talented actor is already cooking for you, and you’re just sitting in the corner doing nothing and enjoying the meal. When the food is served in front of you, you roll your eyes? Is that polite?

People who clicked on the video prepared to criticize when they saw the first half but were silent after watching the second half.

After the one-minute video of the variety show scene, a completely black screen appears, and three big white letters appear saying “In fact.”

In fact, Ruan Yōu wanted to help, but the actor urged her to sit at the table and wait for the food. She waited and looked around with boredom, yawned, and shrunk her neck cutely to continue waiting for the food.

The scene was not edited, unlike the first half, and you could see that her boredom, yawning, and cute waiting for food were all one continuous shot.

【I knew it. They only used Yōuyōu to generate hype. The trash program team has no ethics.】

Yōuyōu’s fans started to criticize.

Those who were unhappy with the variety show were quiet for a few minutes.

This video was a total blow, did they criticize the wrong thing earlier?

Can’t be true?!!

Before they could question it, the variety show @Let’s Have a Meal Together, which had not posted anything for several months, posted an apology statement on their Weibo.

【@Let’s Have a Meal Together: We apologize to all the fans of the show. In order to increase the ratings, generate topics and attract attention, the editing process of the second season of “Let’s Have a Meal Together” used incorrect methods, which created a negative image for Ruan Yōu, portraying her as “lazy and mischievous” and damaging her public image. This has caused controversy for Ms. Ruan.

We sincerely apologize to Ruan Yōu here and will donate three million yuan in her name to a charitable organization as a way to hold ourself accountable.

In the show, Ruan Yōu has always been a cheerful person who doesn’t compete or argue. Her cute laziness (a compliment) often makes her sit in the corner and listen, giving timely advice. This is the real Ruan Yōu. As a result, we will take down the second season of “Let’s Have a Meal Together” and re-upload it after editing the correct version. We hope that fans can rediscover her with us.

We are deeply sorry, the director of the second season of “Let’s Have a Meal Together”】

The video is out, and the program team cannot simply claim it was an accident. Even the official account of the variety show has come forward to clarify the issue. People cannot refuse to believe it.

This “stone hammer” not only woke up those who did not believe in Ruan Yōu, but also brought them together with those who still want to pretend to be asleep and support Su Yue Entertainment.

【Come and join me in criticizing the program team. Those who still support Su Yue Entertainment and those trash people are all trash in my eyes. Yes, I have become Ruan Yōu’s fan because I can’t stand to see a beautiful woman being wronged.】

【This is the first time I have seen a variety show self-destruct to clarify for a celebrity. It shocked my whole family.】

【I am sorry for blaming Ruan Yōu for so long. It turns out she was the victim. Wuwuwu.】

Upon seeing this comment, Gu Zexi suddenly felt a sense of “we are all fellow sufferers, so why not just get along.”

Back then, he also misunderstood Ruan Yōu because of this stupid variety show.

Gu Zexi replied to this comment:

【I also scolded her before, and she told me it’s okay because she also scolds herself when watching variety shows.】

This sentence directly hurts Ruan Yōu’s fans.

They can imagine a scene where Ruan Yōu is watching a variety show and, due to careless editing, she starts cursing loudly, saying that her behavior is not correct.

But! She is different from them, she knows she is not like that.

Even though she knows she has done nothing wrong, her behavior is normal, she still receives undeserved abuse from the program team. Due to the highly edited show, everyone gets positive attention, except her, who takes the blame in the show and gets criticized in real life.

When she says “it’s okay,” it sounds even more heart-wrenching.

How can it be okay?

Seeing herself in the variety show, without a chance to speak up, perhaps even being threatened by the trash company. Black and red are still black3referring to “There’s no such thing as bad publicity.” This phrase suggests that any kind of attention, even if it is negative or controversial, is better than being ignored or unnoticed. It implies that negative publicity can still generate public interest and potentially increase brand or product awareness, which can be beneficial in the long run..

【Oh no, our poor little Ruan Yōu, she’s not a troublemaker, she’s just a pitiful person in the entertainment industry.】

【Ruan Yōu’s presence has always been low, maybe because of her non-competitive personality. Maybe she really doesn’t care, but the gentler she is, the sadder I feel. Who understands?】

【I understand, I understand, I understand. She’s not upset, but I’m upset for her. ┭┮﹏┭┮】

Some people sensitively noticed from the lines that the person who posted the variety show video had contact with Ruan Yōu, so they asked Gu Zexi:

【Have you talked to her? Do you know her? Can you help me apologize to her?】

【Oh no, I hope she will be happy every day after leaving the industry.】

【This video, official account is too hurtful, I feel so uncomfortable, I’m sorry.】

. . . . .

The majority of people have their own values and beliefs, but because of the previous dissatisfaction with Ruan Yōu, they have put on a filter and are prone to misunderstand her actions.

Now that the evidence is clear, they cannot deny the truth anymore. After apologizing, they immediately charged at the variety show team.

【What a bunch of idiots, do they really think that apologizing and donating three million yuan will make everything okay?】

【Ruan Yōu has been criticized for so long, shouldn’t they also taste the same bitterness? What about the decision-making team who are hiding behind the scenes?】

Later, the official account explained in the comments: 【The decision-makers involved have already been punished and have left the company.】

This is also what Gu Zexi did.

Gu Zexi showed Ruan Yōu the apologies from netizens, hoping that she could recover from the “sad emotions.”

Seeing the long string of “sorry,” Ruan Yōu was confused. She sipped some red wine and logged onto Weibo, where she learned about the situation from the trending topics.

She thought Du Sheng wouldn’t respond, but she didn’t expect their faces to be even thicker than she thought.

About eighty percent of the online public opinion was led by them.

She read the apologies from netizens.

The analysis of the part about feeling wronged is 50% correct.

She couldn’t speak up at the time and had to endure it temporarily for her career, just like in the workplace, even if you’re angry, you can’t tear apart with your boss until the day you quit.

However, she didn’t feel too wronged at the time.

She only cried once.

Before entering the entertainment industry, Ruan Yōu was mentally prepared. Unlike the financial industry, this profession is constantly criticized, misunderstood, and judged under the camera lens.

She doesn’t like to be criticized, but after entering the entertainment industry and choosing this path, she had to take the good with the bad. She can’t expect to become popular while avoiding criticism and insults. That’s impossible.

In this mentality, she forced herself to adjust.

It was indeed difficult, but she made it through.

No matter how much Ruan Yōu didn’t care, she still couldn’t help feeling happy when others cleared up their misunderstandings about her.

It’s great to be someone who isn’t misunderstood.

Ruan Yōu is happy.

She won’t miss any opportunity that makes her feel happy, so she’s quite happy to resolve the conflicts between Du Sheng and Zhang Xun.

She quickly contacted Cheng Xin and asked him about the company acquisition.

【Cheng Xin: Soon.】

After seeing the stunt of Su Yue Entertainment, Cheng Xin knew that Ruan Yōu would ask about it, so he personally met with Su Yue’s boss, Chen Defa.

Ruan Yōu nodded in satisfaction and was about to prepare her next post on her fan page, when her biggest fan, The Only Brother, did something unbelievable.

【@The Only Brother: Sending a thousand sets of merchandise. [Pictures][Pictures][Pictures]】

In the picture, there are custom-made cotton dolls, Ruan Yōu’s custom-made insulated cups in collaboration with a big brand, which are sold at a market price of 999 for non-customized versions, and a Ruan Yōu co-branded perfume in collaboration with C brand, which no first-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry currently have.

In addition一

There is also a Ruan Yōu co-branded computer, and even the small handkerchiefs are hand-painted by well-known domestic artists. The shopping bags that hold these items are worth 50,000 yuan from a big brand (Note: If the same shopping bag is not available, another bag from the same brand will be provided).

Ruan Yōu: Do you call this merchandise?

You might as well just give me money.

This extravagant behavior made Ruan Yōu somewhat suspicious, so she messaged Gu Zexi, who was also active on her fan page:

【Fat Cat: The Only Brother… could it be Gu Fuchen?】
