100. Ji Fanxing Is Expelled from the Entertainment Industry

Page 1/3

They hurried like a gust of wind. Ji Fanxing and Ning Ze quickly stepped back two paces, narrowly avoiding a collision. Ji Fanxing touched the mask on her face—luckily, she had prepared well; otherwise, if she had been recognized, they would have surely overwhelmed her.

Without hesitation, the two turned and chose a less crowded exit from the airport. They hailed a taxi.

“Driver, Royal Court Hotel, please.”

Ning Ze was a bit surprised when he heard the destination. “Fanxing, aren’t you going home?”

“Home?” The word felt oddly niche to her. “Why go back? I’m here in the capital on business.” Ji Fanxing explained to Ning Ze, then asked, “What about you?”

“My parents are still on their world tour, and since the company hasn’t assigned me anything recently, I thought I’d follow you...” Ning Ze’s words trailed off as he suddenly felt awkward.

It sounded like he was just tagging along. Clearing his throat, he added, “Mainly, I want to complete the tasks you assigned me and study the script well. Yes, that’s it.”

“Hm, alright.”

“Fanxing, all those people just now were looking for you. It must be because of the online comments. What should we do next? If we ignore it, I’m afraid it will turn out like last time...” Ning Ze was referring to the incident when Ji Fanxing’s elder sister was injured and falsely accused as the culprit, becoming the target of a nationwide smear campaign.

Back then, Ji Fanxing was a naïve girl fresh out of school, completely unprepared to face such a storm. Now, faced with a similar situation, she was not in the least afraid; in fact, she barely considered it a problem.

“You’re right. If it was just rumors about me writing a song for Lu Tianyu, those reporters wouldn’t have made such a big fuss...” Ji Fanxing had a thousand years’ worth of experience; a brief analysis told her that someone behind the scenes was stirring trouble again.

Upon arriving at the hotel, although Ning Ze insisted on studying the script seriously, the worry on his face about Ji Fanxing was impossible to hide.

“Don’t worry. Unless something unexpected happens, the situation will turn around tonight.” Ji Fanxing repeatedly assured him that it was nothing serious. Reluctantly, he entered the room.

In her room, Ji Fanxing opened her social media app. Being a severe perfectionist, she had long since closed all private messages, so she was free from spam.

Within five minutes, she finished reading a post by Song Qing.

Ji Fanxing’s gaze grew icy, as if covered in frost. In her previous life, Song Qing had twice slandered her, causing her to be driven out of her home. Back then, due to a competition, Ji Fanxing could only give a mild rebuke.

She never expected Song Qing to dare act up again in her presence.

Didn’t she know that words could kill?

She herself had endured the pain of being misunderstood, yet Song Qing remained unrepentant. People like her would tirelessly spread rumors even if they knew the truth.

If so, then she should never appear in public again.

However, since Song Qing could be found again, it only proved that the person behind the smear campaign was connected to Liu Qi. But what was their goal?

Recalling the last time she saw Liu Qi, the answer became clear.

Ji Fanxing stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the building opposite the hotel. What a shame—such an elaborate scheme was destined to fail.

The trending topics on Weibo kept changing, and nearly all of the top ten were related to Ji Fanxing, even pushing down a hot search about a rising star caught using banned substances.

Public discussion had shifted from #JiFanxingCollaboratesWithLuTianyu# to #SchemingJiFanxingUsesAnyMeansToRise# and #JiFanxing’sComplicatedRomanceWithLuTianyuAndBrother#.

Meanwhile, Ji Fanxing’s fans were embroiled in fierce battles online with fans of Lu Tianyu and Chu Hao.

“Ji Fanxing is shameless! She’ll spin any story to climb the ladder and drag my brother down!”

“Don’t you know who Song Qing is? Her scandal with that legal pundit just ended recently. You can’t trust a word she says!”

“Regardless of Song Qing’s character, it’s clear Ji Fanxing disrespects her teammates. She claims to be close friends but can’t even be bothered to watch their matches.”

“As a Chu Hao fan, I refuse to believe their friendship is as terrible as Song Qing says. Our Hao Star flag will never fall!”

“Whoa, what cult nonsense is this? Get out of here!”

“Our Ji goddess’s mother is a famous actress, and her father is a renowned director! She wouldn’t stoop to such things!”

“Watching the live stream, her mother acts like she’s invisible to her daughter. She must know she can’t rely on her family, so she’s resorting to underhanded tactics.”

“You fans are brainwashed by Ji Fanxing’s few songs. No matter how good her work is, her rotten character means she doesn’t deserve to be in the entertainment industry!”

“Yeah! Ji Fanxing get out of showbiz!”

“Ji Fanxing get out of showbiz!!!”

“Ji Fanxing, a rookie who clings to top stars for attention, should be kicked out of the industry!”

...

A large group of Lu Tianyu’s radical fans joined the fray, chanting in unison for Ji Fanxing’s expulsion from the entertainment circle.

Ji Fanxing’s fans were equally resolute.

“Little stars! Fight for our goddess Ji!”

“Don’t spread rumors or believe them. If you’re lacking brains, drink Brain Platinum. Stop going crazy online!”

...

In Lu Tianyu’s top fan group chat, many were anxious upon seeing the chaos.

“Leader, should we stay put? Ji Fanxing’s fans are going wild!”

“Yeah, should we storm Ji Fanxing’s super topic to teach them a lesson?”

“We can’t just rely on casual fans. Many are unhappy. How dare a talent show rookie use Lu Tianyu to stir up drama? If we don’t respond, anyone can ride on Lu Tianyu’s fame and climb the ranks. That’s unacceptable!”

“Alright... everyone get ready...”

Just as Lu Tianyu’s major fans were preparing to jump into the fray, they suddenly received a statement from Lu Tianyu himself.

“This is great! Brother is definitely going to clear up these rumors. We can confidently go after Ji Fanxing now!”

“I’ve been holding back! This time I’ll teach Ji Fanxing a lesson. She’s just a talent show rookie anyway...”

But once everyone read Lu Tianyu’s statement, they were stunned.

“What?! It’s true?”

“Ji Fanxing is really going to write a song for Brother, and it’s the lead track on his new album?!”

“Damn, I must be hallucinating!”

While Lu Tianyu’s fans were dumbfounded and at a loss, a video interview of Ji Shengxue simultaneously hit the trending list.

The video appeared to be filmed at an airport, where Ji Shengxue was surrounded by a crowd, mostly reporters along with some fans.

Someone asked, “Miss Ji, is it true that Ji Fanxing has a poor character? And that she caused your leg injury recently?”

The footage was unstable and somewhat blurry, but Ji Shengxue’s clear face showed a trace of surprise before she bowed her head slightly.

“It’s all in the past now. Please don’t blame my sister anymore. I don’t think she meant any harm...”

At that moment, Ruan Lin stepped forward and interrupted the filming. “Alright, this is our family matter. Shengxue’s leg has just healed. Can we go home soon? Thank you.”

The video abruptly ended. Although Ji Shengxue had answered the reporter’s questions directly, almost everyone who saw the clip felt she was tacitly admitting the accusations.

Ji Fanxing’s character was really terrible!

Instantly, the topic #LuTianyuCollaboratesWithImmoralJiFanxingRumorsMayBeTrue# ignited.

A certain star who had spent a fortune trying to suppress rumors about drug use saw this trending hashtag as a savior.
