Mrs. Zhang explained how she was coerced into slandering Tang Beibei in an interview by a television station.
She said that someone had forced her to say that Tang Beibei made her post the thank you video. That someone probably had a grudge against Tang Beibei and engineered the whole thing out of jealousy.
When Ruan Qi reposted the video of Mrs. Zhang’s TV interview online, it immediately attracted eyeballs.
“I’ve been following Beibei and Qiqi for a long time. They’re very serious about their work. I believe that they won’t be so impetuous as to do something so out of line.”
“Beibei is from a famous university and is a top student. She has her teachers’ and her classmates’ support. I can tell that her character is not bad.”
“There’s no reason for her to do such a disgusting thing for the sake of fame. So, those who scolded her before, please come forward and apologize!”
“Wow, fame attracts trouble indeed!”
“Beibei now has more than four million followers, so she’s kind of famous. I didn’t expect her to have a target on her back. Those people who scolded her should really be named and shamed. Slap! Slap! Slap! How do you like that?”
There were also netizens who were in denial and unwilling to accept the latest news.
“Who knows? Maybe this Beibei is rich. She saw that the matter has blown up and bribed people to speak up for her.”
Someone retorted, “Open your eyes wide and look carefully. This isn’t a video posted by some random account. It’s an interview conducted by a television station.”
“You may have no principles, but it doesn’t mean that you can undermine professional journalism!”
“Professional journalists must deliver truths, or their reports would never pass the television station’s editorial vetting process.”
“Do you know the standards of television stations? I’m afraid folks like you don’t!”
The negative comments about Tang Beibei putting on a show for the sake of fame had stopped, but there were still troublemakers.
“This account belongs to Beibei and Qiqi. There are only videos of Beibei now. Does Beibei want this account all to herself?”
This comment was quite sensational. It stirred up another controversy.
“I already said that Qiqi is sick and couldn’t make dance videos. But why didn’t Qiqi say anything? Did something really happen?”
More comments like that followed. Netizens who supported Beibei quarreled with those who supported Qiqi and there was another war of words.
Nonetheless, Mrs. Zhang’s TV interview had clarified that Beibei didn’t do anything out of line for the sake of fame.
When Ruan Qi saw the comments on their page, she discussed with Tang Beibei about recording a video together to explain.
The two of them went to the dance studio and made a video of them chatting.
Ruan Qi asked Tang Beibei what she thought about the insults and scolding online.
Tang Beibei smiled and looked at the camera. “When I was scolded in the past, I always thought that people despised me because I was too ugly. Later, I realized that being ugly or beautiful doesn’t seem to be a reason for people to like me or an excuse for people to scold me.”
“Because how I look have nothing to do with others.”
“If people don’t like me because I’m ugly, they can choose not to look at me. There are millions of people online. Netizens are free to look at the beautiful people they like.”
“People who liked me because I’m beautiful told me that because they met me, they felt that life was a little more interesting. I’m very grateful for those comments; they motivated me to be better.”
She didn’t say anything about the cyberbullying but shared her honest opinion.
Ruan Qi said with a smile, “Your attitude has become more optimistic over time but I still have to say one thing. Maybe there’s no moral code to mandate people to seek the truth before they express their opinions…”
“But please, be kind to others and don’t maliciously hurt people.”
After these serious words, Ruan Qi smiled as she explained why she hadn’t been posting videos.
It was because she was sick and had cut down on her activities, but they still wanted to post videos regularly on their account, so most of the contents were from Beibei. If netizens missed contents from her, she would try to post videos of some interesting activities in her life.
After they got half an hour of raw footage. Ruan Qi made some adjustments with her newly acquired skills around color correction and video editing before she posted the video.
After the video was posted, they immediately gained support from many netizens.
Someone commented, “The positive and optimistic attitude of these two girls are commendable. I’m an instant fan.”
“They exemplified the fighting spirit of young people towards their dreams. They encountered setbacks but they didn’t live in denial or complain. Instead, they reflected on their actions and adjusted their attitudes. They are quite likable.”
“Previous poster, your words are so profound, but I don’t know why I understand.”
“I was just here browsing but I found inspiration. Go, Beibei and Qiqi!”
“I’m impressed by the courage of these two little big sisters. You actually dared to appear onscreen without makeup? But why do you look so good without makeup??? Please do a make-up or beauty video in the next episode. I’m waiting!”
After everything calmed down, there were still a few nasty comments but with comments from the netizens who really liked them, they were not as malicious.
But it was also because of their optimism and enthusiasm that many netizens had turned into fans. The number of followers on their account continued to rise.
There are all sorts of people on the internet. Bloggers and vloggers with skills that make people marvel, envy and like them tended to attract eyeballs.
But netizens were also willing to give attention to and encourage bloggers and vloggers with admirable attitudes and values.
Two days later, after Tang Beibei went to school, Jiang Jingchen said that he was going to find a job.
Actually, he was on his way to pick a fight.
He brought Song Zhou to Jiang Corporation to find Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xing was in a meeting and the secretaries outside the room stopped him from barging in. But Jiang Jingchen insisted on going in. The secretaries couldn’t stop him and could only watch him open the door to the conference room.
When he saw Jiang Xing, he complained that Jiang Minghua had kicked him out. He was very angry and wanted to take away his shares of Jiang Corporation.
When Jiang Xing saw that he was here to cause trouble, and in front of so many people this time, he glared at him angrily.
“Jiang Jingchen, if you have anything to say, go wait in my office. I’m very busy now.”
Tm very busy too. Your time is time, but mine isn’t?” Jiang Jingchen said shamelessly. He then turned to everyone in the room and said, “I am the first young master of the Jiang family. I believe everyone here knows me.”
“Before my mother passed away, she made a will and left me shares of Jiang Corporation that I can inherit when I turn 18. I’m almost 30 now, so I should have my own business. Am I doing anything wrong by claiming what’s mine?”
Everyone looked at him in surprise. Some of the older people in the room knew something about Jiang Xing’s two marriages.
His first marriage had given him a lot of benefits. He managed to keep Jiang Corporation afloat and grew the business later.
It made sense that his first wife had shares of Jiang Corporation.
It was also understandable that his first wife made a will to give her assets to her son!
Jiang Xing saw that everyone was looking at him strangely. He coughed twice and stood up to pull Jiang Jingchen out of the room.
“Let’s talk outside.”
However, how could Jiang Xing move the 1.9-meter Jiang Jingchen? No one could make him move if he didn’t want to move.
Jiang Jingchen came here today to make trouble. He said, “You are going to convince me again that you’ll give me my shares later, right? I thought so.”
“We are father and son after all, and I didn’t want to make the situation too tense. I backed down once, and I backed down again.”
“But your daughter has given me no choice. When my wife came to the office to find me, your daughter didn’t just mock her. She threaten to throw sulfuric acid on her. My wife was so frightened that she couldn’t sleep well for nights. I really can’t take it anymore, so I’m here to ask for my shares again.”
Jiang Xing felt an uncomfortable itch in his throat and shouted angrily, “Those are all small matters.”
“Jiang Jingchen, you are an adult. Do you know the consequences of making a scene here?”
If Jiang Jingchen continued his nonsense here, his reputation would be affected, and his position as chairman would be threatened. The mindset of the board of directors would change and the company would collapse!
Once the hearts of employees scattered, it would be a calamity!
