From Sidekick to Bigshot

However, Qin Yufan was worried that the online comments would affect Jian Yiling’s mood.

Jian Yiling calmly responded: “It’s okay.”

And thus, as she spoke to Qin Yufan, she opened Weibo to look at some of the comments.

“Ahh, it’s useless to just read the comments. If someone wants to spread rumors about you, you can’t really stop them,” Qin Yufan said to Jian Yiling.

And thus, there was no point for Jian Yiling to read the comments.

The more she read them, the more upset she would potentially get. No one could replace her if she got sick from being too upset.

“Why are they spreading rumors about me?” Jian Yiling asked.

She didn’t understand the point of this.

She wasn’t a celebrity or idol. Therefore, comments on the Internet would not affect her work.

“Hmm, they’re just probably not happy with you. Sometimes, you don’t always need a reason for doing something,” Qin Yufan replied. She was already used to such things. “Hmm, have you offended anyone recently?”

“I don’t know,” Jian Yiling said. She was not sensitive to such things.

“Ahh, I suppose so. Just leave this matter for your man. As for you, you should come with me to a makeup salon!”

“Hmm, I’ll take another look at the comments,” Jian Yiling replied. She did not have the habit of leaving her troubles to others.

And thus, she intended to handle the matter herself.

After chatting with Qin Yufan for a while, Jian Yiling sent a message to Xiao Zhuo from the special operations team. She asked him to help her take a look at the situation.

Soon, Xiao Zhou gave Jian Yiling a reply: [There’s nothing wrong with the account that broke the news. However, someone told the news to that account. The account merely used the news to gain attention.]

The Weibo account wanted news that would help them gain publicity.

[Investigate who’s behind this.]

Technically, Jian Yiling wasn’t a part of the entertainment industry. Therefore, she did not understand the things which happened in that industry.

However, if someone was orchestrating this, she was determined to find out who wanted to harm her.

[I tried looking into it already. However, the person used another server. It looks like they came prepared. Also, I ran into the same hacker again when I was checking this matter out for you.”

Xiao Zhou kept running into the same hacker when he was checking up matters for Jian Yiling.

The two of them had fought several times.

On some occasions, they even caused a website or server to crash.

When Jian Yiling somewhat figured out what was happening, her doorbell rang. It was Hu Jiaojiao and An Yang.

When they saw the news on the Internet, the two of them hurriedly came to visit Jian Yiling.

“Yiling, are you okay?” Hu Jiaojiao asked as she stared at Jian Yiling’s face.

“I’m fine.”

Jian Yiling’s reaction was even calmer than Hu Jiaojiao’s.

“I’m so angry! How dare they use some photoshopped photos to slander your name! It’s too abominable!” Hu Jiaojiao cried out as she stomped her foot in anger.

“The photo isn’t photoshopped,” Jian Yiling responded.

“Huh?” Hu Jiaojiao started. Then she said: “Wait… It isn’t photoshopped?”

“Yeah.”

“Then… Then that man…”

“He’s my friend.”

The photo was taken approximately a year ago. Back then, Jian Yiling visited a hotel abroad.

At the moment, Jian Yiling did not know what kind of person took the photo. She didn’t understand why a person would take the photo out of context a year later.

“Ahhh, what now then? An Yang and I found a special technician to make them look for traces of photoshop! How are we going to explain the situation now?”

The two of them had acted before coming to Jian Yiling.

Hu Jiaojiao looked at An Yang with a sad face:

“Umm, I guess that we can say it’s still photoshopped right?”

“Of course we can’t do that! It will only make things worse!”
