Chapter 577: I’m Late
"Youbao, are you sure you want the bullet to fly a bit longer? This talk is really over the line!"
Zhao Qingran kept staring at the trending topics. Originally, when no one paid attention, everyone thought it was over and calmed down for a bit, but soon after, the negative comments started flooding in again.
The curses came like waves, one after another.
"Yeah, I’m getting cancellation notices one after another here, my heart is bleeding!"
Shen Xiaomi’s phone hadn’t stopped ringing, with notifications dinging non-stop, all cancellation messages!
Lin Xing sat there furiously typing on her phone screen, battling those people online, trained by Zhao Qingran.
Still introverted, but in front of online trolls, she wouldn’t hesitate or hold back!
"I guess Li Mei is just being used as a tool."
Chi Youyou peeled an orange, handing a segment to each person as she spoke, "It’s really sweet, try it."
"Umm... how do you know that?" Shen Xiaomi asked curiously with her mouth full.
"Amber just sent me a message about the whistleblower. Normally, no one can hire him, which is why the pressure from public opinion is so great."
"I know, the things this person exposes are generally true, and he has a good reputation, so his fans believe him!"
Chi Youyou nodded, "Senior Brother Ji just sent me a message saying the academy is already finalizing the process with the school, and once the scholarship application is successful, they’ll announce it on the official blog."
"Awesome! As soon as that message is released, the rumors will collapse on their own."
Zhao Qingran cheered.
"But we shouldn’t celebrate too early. They might say we bribed the school, so we also need to uproot the person behind the leaks. Even if we can’t uproot them, we have to completely silence them."
The three nodded in agreement, but fell silent again. Li Mei was easy to deal with, but if there was someone behind her, that would be more troublesome.
"By the way, I just found out Li Mei is at school, and she mentioned your glorious deeds at the police station in M Country."
Shen Xiaomi suddenly remembered the message she received.
Luckily, she has a senior in the student council who doesn’t really handle online matters. It was Shen Xiaomi who asked him, and as he was walking into the office, he overheard their discussion.
He then relayed this matter to Shen Xiaomi.
Chi Youyou helplessly shrugged her shoulders, "Everyone studying abroad in M Country knows about it. She just spread it around, and there’s nothing we can do to her."
She actually knew who was fanning the flames the whole time, but there wasn’t enough evidence. If it really didn’t work out, then she’d settle the issue with Li Mei first.
It absolutely couldn’t drag on for too long.
Otherwise, it would affect her earning money too much, and she didn’t want her friends worrying about her.
"There seems to be a sound outside."
At this moment, the sound of an automobile stopping, and doors opening and closing, could be heard outside the yard, completing this series of actions in just a few seconds, showing how anxious the visitor was.
Chi Youyou put down the cup she was holding and stood up, several familiar faces flashing through her mind, and since Mimi hadn’t made a sound, it meant it was someone she knew.
Just as she was about to say she was going out, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully. Before she could see who it was, she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace, surrounded by a familiar pine scent.
Then, a deep, pleasant, and concerned voice sounded above her head, "Are you alright? I’m late."
