Chapter 97: Views Have Collapsed?
Too much!
This was too much!!!
The thing people hated the most, whether they had worked before or not, was being ordered around! Especially when it was something you hated doing but you had no choice. The image of your boss spouting pleasantries even when his face said he knew he was taking advantage was too vivid, and everyone immediately started cursing!
[Damn! A classic PUA[1]! If I’m not mistaken, she’s only 17 years old, right? She’s already so arrogant and conceited at 17 years old! No wonder, since her father is so rich. This is genetic, right? It’s genetic, right?]
[To think that I had already decided to become her fan. I really didn’t expect this! I don’t think you’re ugly, but you’re even oilier than lard! Goodbye, I am no longer your fan, thank you!]
Very quickly, this video was pushed to the top. Lu An grandly became a trending topic once again, and the hashtag was even —
#LuAnPUA#
Such a strange word.
Workplace PUAs were typically male bosses in seedy listed companies. Most of them were around 30 or 40 years old, and had good looks. They would always dupe their employees into helping them do the work. After the work was done, they treated their employees like idiots.
But Lu An… Lu An was a teenage girl who wasn’t even 18 years old!
How could she have anything to do with that word?
Instantly, both those who knew and didn’t know the term flooded the video.
Soon, more than 100,000 people had read the video captions.
Just as the audience was heatedly talking about their own experiences with PUA, another shocking tidbit was revealed —
Hua Weiming: [Forget it, I’m coming clean! I really don’t want to hide it anymore!! The reason why I posted that comment slandering Miss Lu An the other day was actually because I had discussed it with her. After I posted, she would forward my comment and use the stark contrast to draw everyone’s attention!
[I admit that I was tempted by the price she offered, but now, I really regret it! I actually colluded with such a trashy person! If you want to curse, then curse. I’ve already returned the money I received!]
Xiaoxiao Isn’t Small Anymore: [There’s also me! I’m also coming clean! This was a publicity stunt directed and acted out by a certain person. It’s all my fault for being greedy that I committed a big crime! I admit my mistake, I’m at fault. I’ve already returned the money. Is it too late to turn over a new leaf? *pitiful*]
The two of them posted on Weibo at the same time, and together, they posted screenshots of their chat history where “Lu An” requested to work with them, as well as of “Lu An’s” payment and their refund of the money.
It was in black and white, and could be said to be ample evidence.
Very quickly, everyone’s views crumbled!
[Oh my god! Is this a joke??]
Those who didn’t know what was going on were given a quick rundown.
[It’s about the incident with the previous female lead of “Luo Mingshi.” Because everyone was scolding her, Lu An forwarded several of the top comments. I thought that she was quite different, but I didn’t expect all this to actually be hype! Even this can be hyped up? D*mn, I don’t feel good at all. I feel so nauseated! *retch*]
[It’s more than just wanting to puke! This is f*cking… hehehehe… Bye bye, don’t expect me to give you a single bit of attention in this lifetime! Speaking of which, could it be that Zhao Xiaoyu’s matter was also a publicity stunt? Making use of common online sentiment to successfully exit the industry? I… hehehehe, f*ck!]
There was a wave of scolding online, followed by:
#LuAnHype#
#HuaWeimingClarifies#
#XiaoxiaoIsn’tSmallAnymoreApologizes#
They were all trending.
