...
This was the final blow, leaving Wang Henli with no room to argue.
One of Wang Henli’s clueless fans replied, "Couldn’t it be that the strear bribed this... person, and had them post the slanderous ssage?"
—??? Are you still asleep?
—Go take a look at where the Dais family ranks on the Federation’s wealth list this year, why don’t you?
—Just look at her family’s assets. Can you even count all the zeros?
—Bribe the heiress of the Dais family? Who do you think Wang Henli is, the Crown Princess Consort????
The sheltered fan was quickly flad out of the conversation and went silent.
i Lin’s main social dia account on the Star Network had over two billion followers. They ca from all over the universe, spanned every industry, and were mostly young people.
This was the first ti i Lin had ever shared anything on the Star Network that wasn’t about gourt food, high fashion, or her daily life as a rich woman... Oh, wait. This probably counted as her daily life, too. After all, spending 1.9 billion Star Coins to buy a studio wasn’t sothing you could do unless you were rich.
In any case, this was the first ti i Lin had ever put soone on blast on social dia.
Sensing blood in the water, her followers flooded the food section of the platform, searching for just who this Wang Henli was to have been called out by the heiress herself.
And just like that, Wang Henli went viral.
His team imdiately launched into crisis managent, but with irrefutable proof against them, their only option was—
"Ranran," Wang Henli said, his eyes glistening with a gentle plea. "You’re the only one who can help with this."
"I can’t do it." Li Ran’s face was stained with tears, all of her forr pride gone. "If I confess, my career..."
"If no one confesses, both of us are finished!" A vein bulged on Wang Henli’s temple. "Ranran, I promise, even if you’re not my manager on paper, you’ll still be the backbone of my team."
"Your salary will be the sa as before. You’ll just be working behind the scenes, that’s all."
As they were about to argue further, a man’s voice cut in coldly, "Are you two putting on an opera? Just find soone to take the fall already."
"Otherwise, you can both get ready to spend the rest of your lives on a Garbage Star."
"...I’ll do it." Li Ran tearfully accepted her fate.
「That sa day」
Wang Henli’s studio issued a public statent: ’Recently, several posts on the Star Network have sparked widespread discussion and have had a negative impact on Henry. After an internal investigation, our studio has confird that this incident was caused by a personal grudge between Henry’s manager, Ms. Li, and a certain strear... We offer our sincerest apologies for this matter.’
’We have since dismissed Ms. Li. In the future, we will be more vigilant and hope that you all will continue to support us on our journey.’
Although after the announcent was posted, so comnters scoffed at the explanation. An agent has twenty or thirty million Star Coins to hire a troll army? And what kind of grudge could she possibly have with a strear she’s never even t?
But his fans still accepted the explanation.
After all—
Wang Henli really did make delicious food.
And Wang Henli’s daughter, Wang Tuantuan, really was adorable.
Such a doting and loving father didn’t seem like the type of person who would do such a thing.
After a significant PR push, the scandal surrounding Wang Henli finally began to die down. But no matter how much they tried to control the narrative, he still lost a considerable number of casual followers, causing both his influence and his general public appeal to drop significantly.
