Chapter 227 Spreading Rumors

Shen Ruoyun has always been the first to refuse internal strife; in his view, acting is just a job.

If this path is blocked, there's always another way to make a living. You can survive on enough money for food each day, and it's better to suffer that kind of humiliation for no reason than to die faster.

Of course, this is all what his parents taught him: be free from desires and you will be strong; that's how you live a happy life.

Fang Zhen stared at the phone that had been hung up, his face filled with nothing but shock. He had never been treated like this before.

"I was being too polite to him!" she said, feeling resentful. She immediately called Shen Ruoyun again, only to find that she had been blocked.

Fang Zhen gripped her phone tightly in her hand, her fingertips turning white.

Shen Ruoyun spent several days with Ruan Huai and Chen Jiale in F City. Originally, the group planned to visit a neighboring city for a while longer.

But to everyone's surprise, something still happened.

That morning, Shen Ruoyun had promised to go for a walk on the beach with the two of them, but before she was fully awake, she was woken up by Ruan Huai.

"Brother Yun, open the door for me! Something terrible has happened." Ruan Huai and Chen Jiale were banging on the door from the outside, making so much noise that Shen Ruoyun had to get out of bed to open it.

Shen Ruoyun opened the door, her eyes still tightly closed, clearly not fully awake yet. "What's wrong?"

Upon seeing Shen Ruoyun, the two immediately grabbed his arms, "Brother Yun, something's happened! People are insulting you online."

Shen Ruoyun thought it was something serious. Just as there are fans, there are also haters, and he was no exception. He was just being criticized; it wouldn't hurt him.

"It's okay, let them curse. Being criticized is still being popular." With that, he prepared to go back to his bedroom to continue his nap.

"Brother Yun, it's not a hater, it's you who's ruined your life." Chen Jiale stepped forward and pulled Shen Ruoyun, trying to bring him back to his senses.

Hearing this, Shen Ruoyun suddenly opened her eyes a crack, "What collapsed house?"

“It’s Feng Han, the guy who recorded the show with you. Now he’s spreading rumors that you bullied him and that you beat him up.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ruoyun reached out and pulled the blanket over her head, saying nonchalantly, "Oh, I did hit him."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Huai and his companion gaped open, momentarily speechless.

"Brother Yun, is everything he said true?"

Shen Ruoyun rolled over in bed, feeling somewhat helpless, but still sat up, her ahoge (a stray hair on her head) standing on end.

It took me a full two minutes to calm down in bed before I could slowly piece together what had happened.

After hearing this, the two were so angry that they glared at each other. "This person is too despicable. He clearly did something wrong, but now he's spreading rumors about you online."

He even portrayed himself as a victim, saying that you deliberately didn't share your food with him and that you beat him for no reason.

Seeing the two of them looking angry, Shen Ruoyun immediately burst out laughing.

"Brother Yun, how can you still laugh? Everyone online is cursing you. You have no idea how infuriating that is." Chen Jiale stuck out his index finger and poked Shen Ruoyun's forehead.

Shen Ruoyun knew they meant well, but these kinds of things were unavoidable. "Isn't 'Survival Rules' going to air in a couple of days? As long as the director doesn't edit it carelessly, it'll be fine."

Feng Han won't be around for long, don't worry. Go back and get some more sleep, lack of sleep can accelerate things..."

The two waited for him to finish speaking, but after a while, there was no sound. They wondered if he had been woken up by them and something was wrong with his body.

"Brother Yun?"

The two tilted their heads and called Shen Ruoyun softly, but all they heard was his even breathing.

The two of them were speechless. If this happened outside, someone might pick it up without them even noticing.

The others also contacted Shen Ruoyun immediately after seeing the news online.

However, Shen Ruoyun couldn't resist putting her phone on silent so she could get a good night's sleep, and she didn't answer a single call.

Finally, everyone flocked to the group chat wanting to get to the bottom of things, but fortunately, Ruan Huai and the other person explained the whole story clearly.

Only then did they realize that Shen Ruoyun's claws were injured for this reason.

This person still doesn't know when to stop, and actually dares to spread rumors online that Shen Ruoyun and others bullied and beat him.

This truly proves his saying: "A shameless person is invincible."

Feng Han stayed in the hospital for a long time, and the few jobs he had were canceled because of this, and he was scolded by his agent again.

He was naturally unhappy, and the thought of Shen Ruoyun's arrogant appearance kept him awake at night.

There wasn't much to do while I was recovering, so I could only watch videos and read entertainment news online.

The result was that I could still see all sorts of news about Shen Ruoyun. Seeing that she was eating and drinking everywhere as if nothing had happened, and even trending on social media, made me feel even more unbalanced.

Why should he suffer in the hospital while Shen Ruojun gets to travel around and have fun? He didn't do anything wrong, it's just too much.

He thought to himself that Shen Ruoyun was only so arrogant because she had a lot of fans. He was going to make Shen Ruoyun experience what it was like to fall from grace.

Thinking of this, he immediately paid out money to hire a number of marketing accounts to spread the news that Shen Ruoyun, along with other guests, bullied him and beat him without cause.

Just in time for the huge success of "Survival Rules", Shen Ruoyun became incredibly popular, and media attention on him skyrocketed.

Revealing this now is like dropping a bomb in the crowd. Once it's confirmed, Shen Ruoyun will have no chance of making a comeback.

People all hope that the person they like is perfect. Once that person is different from their expected image, they will feel deceived. This backlash from fans is the most devastating.

However, he had to definitively prove this wrong and prevent Shen Ruoyun from making a comeback. Once Shen Ruoyun's reputation was ruined, public opinion would turn in his favor, and his popularity would definitely rise, ensuring he would have no shortage of resources.

That's the survival rule in the entertainment industry: backstabbing and climbing over your peers to get ahead are commonplace.

That same day, Feng Han arranged to meet with Yuan Ji, the director of "Survival Rules".

Director Yuan also did not expect Feng Han to invite him out at this time. He had a very poor impression of Feng Han, and even disliked him to some extent.

Although Feng Han sometimes tries his best to cultivate his public image, he often can't hide his inherent selfishness, meanness, and scheming.

After interacting with him, I felt very uncomfortable; he gave off a very fake feeling.

However, since they had cooperated before, it wasn't good to break off relations, especially since the other party said they had something important to discuss with him.

Having come this far, I was also a little curious, so without thinking twice, I went to the appointment.

The two met at a private club, where the privacy was high and the content of their conversation was not likely to be leaked.
