"That’s how it is, but these rich and powerful people are not what you say, they don’t play by the rules. Given their status, many people try to curry favor with them, and when the higher-ups casually apply pressure, such news stir up little commotion. When dealing with people like this, we’re really just sitting ducks."
"Moreover, this Huo Sining is quite a character; despite her challenging family background, she has reached her status today through her own abilities. She has money, power, fa, and a charming, reliable husband—she lacks nothing, becoming a winner in life at the age of twenty. For such a person, a quick search online reveals a clear record. What privacy could there be to dig up?"
The person on the other end of the line was unimpressed with Jiang Weide’s view. As a reporter in the entertainnt industry, who doesn’t want to break big news and achieve fa overnight? But it depends on who the news subject is.
This Huo Sining is not part of the entertainnt circle herself. Digging into her privacy is highly likely to provoke anger and resentnt from those fans. Besides, the families she represents aren’t ones to ss with. Angering that woman might not just cause trouble for him, but also for his magazine!
Jiang Weide hadn’t expected his blockbuster news to be t with such indifference. The other party seed completely uninterested.
Jiang Weide was naturally arrogant, especially after being praised in recent years, his morale had soared. Seeing the other party act timidly and cowardly, he instantly got angry and decided not to waste more words with this person.
"Fine, you’re not interested, I’ll just find soone else. You can keep shadowing your little celebrities. I doubt you’ll get your mid-year bonus this year."
With that, Jiang Weide didn’t wait for the other person’s reaction and directly hung up the phone.
Then he flipped through his contacts and dialed another number.
This ti, after several attempts, the person didn’t answer. Jiang Weide was furious, ready to throw his phone away to sleep when sothing suddenly crossed his mind. He quickly got up and ran to the study, opened his computer, and started searching online.
Indeed, his mory was correct. Searching on Weibo, he quickly found a account nad "Ge Xinming." Upon opening it, he saw the account description: President of the Anti-Huo Alliance, dedicated to tearing off the facade of public figure Huo Sining, special alliance established, specializing in exposing fakes, punish counterfeits tenfold!
This Weibo na was spotted by Jiang Weide once by chance. He even went out of his way to explore the grievances between Ge Xinming and Huo Sining, knowing that it started with a report Ge Xinming released during an earthquake that angered Huo Sining’s fans. Ultimately, Ge Xinming was forced to apologize to Huo Sining and was fired by "Nanhua Daily."
After leaving "Nanhua Daily," Ge Xinming established the anti-Huo alliance, dedicated to tarnishing Huo Sining, making it his lifelong career to post various, questionable negative news on the internet every day.
Therefore, under each of Ge Xinming’s Weibo posts, there are a lot of comnts, mostly from Huo Sining’s fans. These people, in their comnts, either mock or counter him. So impatient ones even resort to cursing, accusing Ge Xinming of using Huo Sining’s fa to stir up and exploit publicity.
Regardless of the insults, Ge Xinming persistently pursued his anti-Huo career, even being smug about the fans’ fury and using these insults to push back that Huo Sining is a fabricated hero for publicity, claiming that an idol with such uncouth fans must have poor character.
This is essentially rogue logic. Yet, surprisingly, Ge Xinming, a clown-like figure, actually has quite a few followers—people mostly there to see his bizarre theories.
As for what kind of person Huo Sining is, how could she truly bother with soone repulsive like Ge Xinming? After failed attempts at negotiations, she paid no attention to this person, treating it as if encountering a rabid dog. Having been bitten by a dog, you certainly wouldn’t bite back.
To Huo Sining, soone like Ge Xinming barely makes any waves, but Jiang Weide doesn’t think so.
He doesn’t care whether Ge Xinming’s previous negative reports are true or false; he solely hopes to use Ge Xinming’s platform. The man has over one million followers, considered quite a famous influencer.
His original idea was to sell the news to the magazine for profit;
However, after the phone call, discovering the magazine’s stance, he felt that this isn’t a good approach.
Magazines, whether public or private, often constrained by official issues due to distribution. With Huo Sining and the influential Gu and Zhou Families behind her, few magazines dare to publish shocking news like Huo Sining’s illegitimate child.
But Ge Xinming is different. Ge Xinming already has grudges against Huo Sining. Moreover, his Weibo functions as self-dia, not linked to any magazine or newspaper, so there’s no concern about him being threatened.
Judging from the Weibo content, Ge Xinming appears to be shalessly fearless. As long as it attracts attention, he’s willing to tackle any news, showing no fear towards Huo Sining’s backing.
So for Jiang Weide, Ge Xinming turns out to be his best option.
After a brief contemplation, Jiang Weide opened the private ssage feature and sent Ge Xinming a direct ssage:
"Mr. Ge, I have a big scoop on Huo Sining that can help tear off that woman’s mask, guaranteeing her disgrace. Are you interested in collaborating with ?"
Being not yet five o’clock, Ge Xinming certainly wasn’t online, so Jiang Weide waited over ten minutes without receiving a reply from Ge Xinming. However, Jiang Weide wasn’t anxious; no one else knew about this scoop, so he wasn’t worried about any issues. As long as Ge Xinming agrees to cooperate, Jiang Weide will have plenty of operational space.
He could start a self-dia company and push Ge Xinming forward—such big news is sure to gain imnse influence. When the news fernts, his self-dia company can expect to appreciate in value. Furthermore, it would be Ge Xinming confronting Huo Sining directly, while he quietly watches from the sidelines, without worrying about any danger.
Jiang Weide planned things thoroughly, even started drafting a series of plans for his self-dia company.
However, he didn’t know that his supposedly hidden and comprehensive plan was entirely exposed to the concerned party the very mont he formulated it, lying bare and uncovered.
