Chapter 248 -248: Overreaching Only to Fail, The Male God from Behind Becomes Even More Popular!
This kind of thing wasn’t the first time that the entertainment company boss, Zhang Shengrong, where Fang Xiuran worked, had done.
How was it that dirt on so many celebrities got exposed?
Behind every top-tier celebrity, there’s their own team and entertainment company. These stars are the pillars of the company and naturally receive all sorts of protection from them.
To take down competitors, many entertainment companies attack each other and try to ruin the other’s top stars.
Dealing with a star backed by a major entertainment company becomes incredibly complicated and requires huge financial resources.
But dealing with a star without such backing is much simpler.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Shengrong’s subordinates fabricated a scandalous piece of news about the “Silhouette Idol”—calling him a top-tier scumbag, involved in improper relations with countless female fans, complete with photos and testimonies from alleged victims.

The pictures were doctored. After all, the “Silhouette Idol” never showed his face, and the photos were secretly taken from behind at night from a distance, so they probably wouldn’t be disproven.
As for the so-called victim, she was an employee of their company.
On Zhang Shengrong’s cue, this news was posted on various major websites.
Thanks to the entertainment company’s operation, it quickly hit the trending charts.
Zhang Shengrong even picked up his phone and called a Weibo executive he knew, asking for a favor to fan the flames.
Help him take the “Silhouette Idol” down!
Everything was ready, just waiting for the results.
As soon as the news broke, it attracted countless people’s attention because this is the hottest time for the “Silhouette Idol.”
In less than a dozen minutes, this piece of news shot to the top ten on Weibo’s trending charts.
And it continued to climb bit by bit, under Zhang Shengrong’s company’s push.
In less than twenty minutes, the news hit the top spot on Weibo’s trending charts!
“What?”
“I never thought the ‘Silhouette Idol’ would be such a person, ugh!”
“Trash, absolute trash.”
Comments began to appear beneath the news.
At first, the derogatory remarks about the “Silhouette Idol” indeed came from male netizens, each one feeling bitter.
“Wow!”
“Since ancient times, talented people have been romantic, so what if the idol is a bit of a romantic due to his talent?!”
“This is great. I initially thought I had no chance to be with the idol, but seeing this news, I realized my chance has come!”
“Idol, we love you.”
But soon, the tone of the comments beneath the news took a radical turn!
A direct 180-degree reversal occurred. Countless crazy female fans came flooding in.
The idol was talented and handsome, so what if he made a small mistake!
Beauty is justice!
Moreover, this news might not even be true.
That alleged victim was so ugly. Most of them were prettier than her, so would the idol choose someone ugly?
As this piece of news spread, more people became aware of the “Silhouette Idol.”
Suddenly, Chu Chen became even more famous.
Just handling some matters, the big star Xia Mengqi of Angel Entertainment Group furrowed her brows upon seeing this news.
She was one of the few who knew the true identity of the “Silhouette Idol.”
“How could Chu Chen be a scumbag?”
Xia Mengqi shook her head.
In Jiangzhou, thanks to Chu Chen’s help, she managed to shake off her old employer’s entanglement, and he even let her sign with his Angel Entertainment Group.
Besides, back in Jiangzhou, she lived with Chu Chen at Eastern Hanhai Villa No. 1 for more than half a month, and Chu Chen never made a move on her.
If Chu Chen were a scumbag, how could he have resisted making a move on someone as stunning as herself?
Xia Mengqi snorted at this fake news.
“This is definitely fake news, I swear it.”
Xia Mengqi commented under the news using her verified account.
“Even Xia Mengqi supports the idol!”
“This is definitely fake news!”
“It’s fake!”
With Xia Mengqi speaking up, many of Chu Chen’s fans echoed her sentiments.
Soon, the comments became uniformly—this is fake news.
“Not good, Mr. Zhang.”
Zhang Shengrong, who was working in the entertainment company, was suddenly interrupted by his secretary.
Initially, seeing the negative news about Chu Chen reaching the trending list, Zhang Shengrong thought the “Silhouette Idol” was finished.
So, he stopped worrying about it.
“Mr. Zhang, look at this.”
The secretary placed the phone on Zhang Shengrong’s desk.
Seeing the overwhelmingly “this is fake news” comments, Zhang Shengrong was furious.
“Mr. Zhang, not only did we fail to bring down the ‘Silhouette Idol,’ but we also made him even more popular. His popularity has skyrocketed.”
The secretary said helplessly.
“What?”
Zhang Shengrong exploded. After all the effort, using company resources and connections, the final outcome was the exact opposite?
Not only did they fail to bring down the “Silhouette Idol,” but they also made him more popular.
“Xia Mengqi!”
Zhang Shengrong noticed Xia Mengqi’s comment, which had the highest likes.
“Send a message to a few of our company’s stars to go under that news and criticize Xia Mengqi and the ‘Silhouette Idol.'”
“Also, hire professional trolls to bash the ‘Silhouette Idol’ and Xia Mengqi.”
Zhang Shengrong planned to do damage control!
Xia Mengqi was just a singer who had recently started to gain traction, signed with an ordinary entertainment company, and yet, she thought she could fight him.
A few minutes later, several big stars under Zhang Shengrong’s company commented.
The fans of these big stars clashed with the fans of the “Silhouette Idol” and Xia Mengqi.
Initially, it was evenly matched, but as more and more fans of the “Silhouette Idol” learned of this matter, they all came to join the battle.
Some even downloaded Weibo for the first time just to support the “Silhouette Idol.”
In the end, the fans of Chu Chen and Xia Mengqi, with an overwhelming advantage, defeated the stars under Zhang Shengrong and the professional trolls!
Now, the “Silhouette Idol’s” fanbase was considered the most cohesive fan group.
Many bystanders couldn’t help but marvel under the news.
The “Silhouette Idol” was indeed formidable and charming, capable of rallying so many die-hard fans!
These fans were incredible!
“Damn it!”
It was one thing for his stars to lose, but even the professional trolls and keyboard warriors lost to the “Silhouette Idol’s” fans?
Was this for real?
Was this “Silhouette Idol” really that formidable?
“Forget it.”
Since he had agreed to Fang Xiuran’s request, Zhang Shengrong called that Weibo executive again.
“Give me a hand.”
“That supercar you liked, it will be delivered tomorrow.”
Zhang Shengrong began his gifting.
“Okay.”
The Weibo executive agreed to Zhang Shengrong and began using his authority.
Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of comments in support of Chu Chen, claiming it was fake news, dropped by nearly 90%, leaving only a few tens of thousands, and the number kept decreasing.
Meanwhile, some of Chu Chen’s defending fans were temporarily banned for various odd reasons, including Xia Mengqi’s account.
On the contrary, those criticizing Chu Chen rapidly entered the top comments.
Gradually, most of the comments turned against Chu Chen!
“Something’s happened.”
Being a star, Xia Mengqi was exceptionally sensitive in this field.
Seeing the shift in comments under the news, she immediately guessed that someone must have enlisted Weibo’s help to suppress them.
Xia Mengqi quickly took out her phone to call Chu Chen.
