Chapter 482: Competing for Favor!
On the day the scandal broke out, Mu Yan was out of town on an inspection trip.With Song Cheng’an’s help, she finalized a plan to open a shop and quickly put it into action.
She was here to inspect the suppliers and check the quality of the flowers.
Song Cheng’an, having received orders from someone, accompanied Mu Yan on this trip.
After taking a call, he informed Mu Yan of the situation and comforted her, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter well."
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Song," Mu Yan said, then continued chatting with the flower farmers to learn about their planting techniques.
Song Cheng’an was a bit amused and exasperated, thinking she really had a big heart.
However, even when she was filming, she seemed to be more focused than she was now.
Song Cheng’an immediately contacted the PR team to handle it, but soon realized there was no need for PR at all.
First, Qin Xi, Lin Jiamu, and others were the first to post on Weibo supporting Mu Yan.
Qin Xi V: Why do people keep stirring up the same old rumor about casting couch scandals? Aren’t you tired of it? Or are you just dying to experience it yourself? Those who are saying my sister was involved in a casting couch scandal, are you insulting me?!
Lin Jiamu V: Clearly the insult is towards me//@Qin Xi V: Why do people keep stirring up...
The fans of the two had a good laugh.
"Why do I feel like Brother Xi and Mu Mu are competing for favor?"
"With friends like Brother Xi and Mu Mu, does Mu Yan need to rely on a casting couch?"
"Hey, I can only say that people who smear Mu Yan are not thinking straight!"
...
Soon after their Weibo posts, many celebrities forwarded them as well.
Of course, most of them were willing to speak up for Mu Yan because of her popularity, hoping to gain some exposure from the incident.
However, it was a win-win situation.
As the incident fermented, more and more netizens did not believe the exposé.
It was widely known that Mu Yan, Qin Xi, and Lin Jiamu were a "golden triangle." With two such strong friends, she’d be possessed to resort to a casting couch.
"Why does someone try to defame Mu Yan every now and then? Are they insane?"
"I keep hearing rumors about Mu Yan being a sugar baby or getting ahead through casting couch scandals, but there’s never any evidence. Do people just run their mouths without taking responsibility?"
"Can I just say I’m tired of these types of news? Can’t dig up any real dirt on Mu Yan, so they harp on this endlessly?"
...
Mu Yan’s fans even took it upon themselves to rush to the marketing account, angrily cursing them out, practically questioning their ancestors.
Subsequently, "Mu Yan being defamed" became a trending topic on social media. Official source ıs NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Starry Sky Musings: "Though the atmosphere in the entertainment industry isn’t great, there are still some upstanding young talents like Mu Yan, who worked her way up from being a stand-in one solid step at a time. Whether or not her acting skills are good, the audience can see that clearly. Why do petty people always try to tarnish her? What does such a hardworking and progressive young woman do to bother you? If you have the ability, face her openly instead of lurking in the shadows like mushrooms grow."
The comments under the trending topic were all in agreement, though some said there’s no smoke without fire, implying Mu Yan might not be clean, but their voices were drowned out by the support for Mu Yan.
Some people even tried to find earlier photos of Mu Yan captured with a man watching a movie late at night, but unfortunately, these could no longer be found.
It wasn’t until Mu Yan finished discussing flower growing secrets with the florist that she remembered the scandal.
"Finally, you’re back to your senses," Song Cheng’an said with a laugh.
Mu Yan felt a little embarrassed, took out her phone, and finished reading the scandal report.
She concluded, "The person smearing me should know about my relationship with Jiang Jingheng. Clearly, they also know about Jiang Jingheng rejecting Zhao Xiyue."
Song Cheng’an pondered a bit and glanced at her, "Do you mean it was Zhao Xiyue’s doing?"
Mu Yan shook her head, "I’m not sure, but if not her, then it’s someone close to her."
In the past, she definitely wouldn’t have thought it was Zhao Xiyue, but the current Zhao Xiyue seemed to have lost reason.
Song Cheng’an let out a sigh, "Alright, I’ll inform Jing Heng about this and let him investigate."
