If it weren’t for Lan Yu’s outcry, Lu Sheng and the others really wouldn’t have known that so much had happened on Weibo during the time none of them were paying attention.
Therefore, in the next ten minutes or so, Lan Yu’s exclamations came one after another.
"Damn, that sugared chestnut is Chen Li, right? She looks so introverted and quiet in class, but turns out she’s a beauty blogger with over two million followers behind our backs?"
"Damn, those people commenting below are our classmates, right? Never thought they hardly talked to Shengsheng before, and now they are all supporting Shengsheng unanimously, I’m so touched."
"Damn, Old Mr. Ji posted on Weibo! My god, Old Mr. Ji is so bold and daring, he outright said he doesn’t believe the words in that anonymous post."
"Damn, Professor Wu Anmin also posted on Weibo, saying that Shengsheng is a genius who overturns everyone’s cognition!"
"Damn!! FSI!! FSI actually officially stepped in to support Shengsheng, even saying that they will pursue legal action against those who slander Shengsheng under FSI’s name!"
...
Lan Yu’s speed of surfing the internet for gossip is admirable.
Except for her, Lu Sheng, Lu Youming, Lu Youye, and Huo Yu had hardly used Weibo before. Through Lan Yu’s series of exclamations of live commentary, they got the gist of what happened without opening each one by one.
Lu Sheng didn’t browse Weibo, and only now sees that Li Muchen had sent her a message on WeChat that afternoon.
[Baby, I’ve contacted FSI Mei Country officials. After discussing their PR strategies, they will post a statement on Weibo to verify your identity.]
[You don’t need to worry about Professor Peng, I’ve contacted the police, and they said that there is currently no substantial evidence found, Professor Peng will be released tonight.]
No wonder FSI also stepped in.
FSI isn’t active in promoting in China, but the Li Group appears to sponsor FSI, hence Li Muchen’s words naturally carry weight with the officials.
Now, Lu Sheng opens her own Weibo post from last night, the overall public sentiment has taken a drastic turn. freeweɓnøvel.com
The malicious sarcasm and insults previously dominating have significantly decreased, and the latest comments are all praises about how awesome she is and expressing their liking for her.
This is probably the current state of netizens today.
How many of those who insult her genuinely dislike her, and how many of those who praise her truly like her; most are just following the trend to boost their presence.
Maybe amongst those who now say they like her, there are keyboard warriors who previously spewed vitriol on her.
This is also the reason why Lu Sheng previously didn’t care much about those comments.
Easy declarations of like and dislike are very superficial. The deeper feelings are, the harder they are to casually express.
After going through all the trending searches related to Lu Sheng, Lan Yu couldn’t help but say, "This is great!"
"Now we can finally hold our heads high. The faces of those trolls must be swollen now, feels so good."
