Chapter 5 — From Green Tea to Palace

Waiting for the incident to go viral, Lam Tu Nhuoc's side slowly posted on Weibo, with a gentle tone, saying "accident", "didn't see the title clearly", "didn't mean to click like"... The comments below were immediately filled with pity: 【Oh my god, Lam Tu Nhuoc is so pitiful... In the movie I acted in, the main male and female CP got the spotlight right on the day of propaganda, standing behind the screen and still being left out of C Vi...】 【I feel sorry for my goddess... I can only use this shady way to vent my anger. As for To He He, he relies on scolding people for marketing purposes, has no artistic qualities at all!】 【Green tea and "straightforward", one mask, two personalities, not afraid of overturning?!】 【Tin Tu and Lam Tu Nhuoc are in love? The male god hasn't said anything yet, what are Lam Tu Nhuoc fans screaming about?】 【Upstairs is correct. It's nothing, just a photo, the content is all self-produced! She's very smart - just click a like, don't say a word, fans weave the script themselves, if it flops, the fans can be blamed. True to the "national white lotus" style, packaged cleanly, flawless!】 I found this comment to be so true, I couldn't help but like it myself, and felt like I had just met my soulmate. But just as he scrolled down... before the light of justice could flash, a group of antis rushed up and threw stones: 【You just guessed, right? Even though Tan Tu and Lam Tu Nhuoc do not love each other, during the film promotion stage, the male and female leads are required to create CP for marketing. To He He, ranked 18th, has completely drifted out. Do you think that if you play the role of "white moonlight" you can sit on the same table as Tan Tu?】 【To He He, fake green tea, get out of the entertainment industry!】 【To He He's "green tea language" was so disgusting in the past, now are you planning on intentionally clinging to Tan Tu? Too thick-faced!】 【With a fake green tea like To He He, even if he brought himself to the door, the male god wouldn't bother! I don't see in the photo that Tan Tu deliberately leaned away from me!】 A series of hot searches exploded, not a single one said anything good about me. The most prominent, glaring right at the top of the page: 【To He He's character is ruined, asked to withdraw from the entertainment industry!】 I was so angry that I trembled all over, clutching the phone tightly, wishing I could throw it straight into the wall. No matter how I think about it, I feel frustrated: a series of fake news, a bunch of unreasonable antis, and I... keep being dragged straight into the hole! In a moment of excitement, I shoved my phone into the microwave, telling myself I didn't want to see another word. But social networks did not stop, the fire of public opinion flared up more and more, overnight, it turned into a national cyber violence. The company tried to apply heat, but couldn't control it, and in the end... left me alone. The next morning, before I could wake up, the hotel room door was kicked in hard. The manager rushed in, her face cold, and threw two words straight at me: "Dissolve the contract." 8. So cruel... My hair was as messy as a crow's nest. I looked at the manager in bewilderment, completely unable to understand what was happening. Her face was cold, her voice filled with helplessness: "From the day I signed the contract until now, I haven't earned a penny for the company. Even though I like you very much, I cannot object to the company's decision." Since yesterday when the netizen storm started, I haven't dared to read the news. At this moment, when I opened my phone, I realized that online people were scolding me: "My manager Qin Tu is useless, the company refuses to handle it, let a "little crazy fan" sit firmly next to the actor!" Most netizens think that I am a "perverted crazy fan" who has been following Tan Tu since pre-debut, secretly plotting nefarious things. 【To He He = crazy fan! This kind of woman with such a dark mind can still be with Tan Tu, this company really makes people feel cold!】 【The table is overturned! During the film's propaganda stage, To He He caused trouble that implicated Qin Tu? This behavior seriously affects his work. Request the company to immediately kick this "green tea crazy fan" out of the entertainment industry!】 I looked at the screen, my mouth open, my voice trembling: "Is it serious... to this extent? In just one night… I became a crazy fan!?” I glanced at the manager, so embarrassed that I swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Obviously I was just riding in Tan Tu's babysitter's car, moreover, it wasn't a private car! The manager sighed, her eyes were red from lack of sleep, and her voice was tired: "Lam Tu Nhuoc's side was willing to play with money, spending a lot of money to buy marines to lead the rhythm, and even incited fans to hate me. Add to that the incident where you scolded top idols backstage... The company has no way to save you." Pausing for a moment, she looked at me, her voice choked up: "He He... The company can't help it either. Well, let's go our separate ways, otherwise Tan Tu will be dragged down as well." In front of me is the settlement contract. Originally, according to regulations, I also had to pay compensation for breach of contract. But now... the company doesn't need a penny, it just wants me to sign as soon as possible, for peaceful separation. After signing, the company will reduce the damage to a minimum, and I... am no longer bound to anything. Just, that also means... Tan Tu and I will see each other much less from now on. I took the pen and took a long time to sign my name in the corner of the paper. As soon as I put down the pen, my Weibo suddenly jumped up with a special announcement. The manager held the contract and conveniently took out her phone to look at it. Looking at the screen, I witnessed for the first time in my life the words "eye shock" appear as a physical phenomenon. She rolled her eyes, almost fainted, her trembling voice shouted: "Oh my god, ancestors!!! Are you…are you crazy!?” Qin Tu's Weibo has always been famous for being "secretive". Besides posting advertisements, there is only film propaganda, absolutely no private moves. More importantly, he doesn't follow anyone, and the company doesn't manage his account either - simply because his status is too high, a young actor with a reputation for "not causing trouble", everyone assumes there is no need to control him. But today... Tan Tu blew up the entire entertainment industry. He personally posted a photo from high school, pinning it straight to the top of Weibo — a photo of him and me together. In the photo: Two students wearing uniforms, their faces still filled with innocence. I smiled brightly, my cheeks slightly red from embarrassment, while Tan Tu put his arm around my shoulder, the corners of his lips curled up, his eyes warm and undisguised. Right below the photo, he wrote three lines on Weibo, neat, sharp, and fatal: 【To He He and I are childhood sweethearts. She is not a "crazy fan" as rumored!】 【Clarification: I currently do not have a girlfriend, am pursuing, other than film promotion work, do not have any private contact with Lam Tu Nhuoc. I hope the other party will not continue to spread misleading information.】 【In addition, this idol drama, If He He does not participate, I absolutely will not accept the invitation. Please, fans, stay rational.】 Me: “…” Manager: “…” Within a second of the post, Weibo exploded. My manager's eyes widened, her face was as pale as if she had seen an earthquake, and I had to quickly press hard on her philtrum, fearing she would faint on the spot. The comment section below the article... is as pitiful as a mourning cry: 【God, please don't!!! Lam Tu Nhuoc already doesn't match, but To He He is no better!!!】 【The movie emperor and "the most famous green tea in the entertainment world" are childhood sweethearts? Is this a collective nightmare???】 【Wait... So the "stalker photos" that were peeled off before turned out... to be real life photos of the two?】 【The person I like the most and the female star I hate the most can be in the same frame like this... Oh my god, why do I have to torture fans like that!!!】 Right below this comment, Tan Tu calmly replied one question, adding fuel to the fire: 【Not together yet. I'm chasing.】 Me: “…” Manager: “…” At that moment, I was shocked to the point of paralysis. "You... when are you pursuing me? Why don't you know it's me?" As soon as I raised my head, I saw the manager's eyes filled with tears, her face full of resentment as if betrayed: "Tan Tu likes you, but are you the last person to know? He even pleased his "mother-in-law" a long time ago?" My heart skipped a beat, dumbfounded and mumbled: "Probably... you and I... just found out together..." I trembled as I looked at the screen, feeling like the entire social network was exploding. I turned to smile wryly at the manager: "Sister... the internet has turned into a hot pot. Or... should I take a sip first?"
