Shu Wan had been silent for so long that everyone thought she would never e out to respond. No one expected Shu Wan to be so tough as to directly open a livestream to prove her point.
With this move in everyone’s eyes, she seemed to have gained some confidence.
If it hadn’t been for the personal authentication of that old expert, maybe a part of the audience would have indeed believed Shu Wan.
Unfortunately, when pared to Shu Wan, the public was more inclined to trust the word of a renowned old expert from the Calligraphy World.
People were doubting Shu Wan in the ments section of her Weibo, while others ran to the whistleblower urging them to also start a livestream.
["Bro, you should do a livestream, too. Have a live petition with Shu Wan. Honestly, it’s so irritating to see her showing off. You should show us what you’ve got and teach Shu Wan a lesson in ’dimensional beatdown.’"]
["Exactly, we’re all laymen here. Only a professional like you can handle Shu Wan. With technology being so advanced today, she might be preparing to use some tricks."]
["Do a livestream and we’ll all send you gifts. I’ve been annoyed by Shu Wan for a long time, and someone really needs to put her in her place."]
pared to the netizens’ confidence and righteous indignation, the whistleblower was noticeably quieter.
After all, only he knew that the writing was not his own. Although he had been imitating that font for some time and had gotten quite close to it, there was still a twinge of guilt.
In the end, it was his assistant who made up his mind.
"Do you realize how popular Shu Wan is right now? She’s a celebrity from the entertainment circle; how could she possibly write such beautiful calligraphy? She must be courting public favor. Just treat it as riding on the coattails of her fame. Aren’t you tempted by the few millions you can make from gifts in one livestream?"
Nowadays, short video and livestreaming platforms reign supreme. As long as there is traffic and popularity, ine follows.
The whistleblower himself had already made hundreds of thousands in just a few days, and the effortless ine fueled his greed.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll start a livestream, too. Get in touch with the advertisers. We’re going to make a big score tonight."
Although Shu Wan’s fame hadn’t reached the top tier, her current online traffic was immense.
With such a good opportunity at hand, various advertisers flocked to sign contracts with the whistleblower.
By the time the livestream started in the evening, the whistleblower had reached agreements with nearly thirty advertisers.
Because of the many ads he had to run, the whistleblower started livestreaming from six o’clock in the afternoon.
"Hello, everyone. I’m Ren Yong."
Ren Yong was a young man, having graduated from university less than seven years ago. He wore glasses and a white shirt, looking refined and handsome.
Ultimately, looks do matter in this world. People had initially felt drawn to him because of his beautiful writing. Now, seeing Ren Yong’s handsome appearance, his likeability only increased.
["So handsome??? Ok, I declare you’ve already won this contest. I believe those beautiful characters must have been written by those hands."]
["Oh my god, our professor once said it takes over twenty years of practice to write like that. I thought it was some old guy, but I didn’t expect someone so young and so talented."]
"Thank you for liking my writing."
Ren Yong smiled shyly at the camera, making a favorable impression, "I’ve actually been under a lot of pressure recently. Fortunately, I have everyone’s support and some brands have been consistently sponsoring my legal expenses. I am very grateful to them."
Saying so, Ren Yong had his assistant bring up the products he was promoting that evening, beginning to advertise for the brands.
People came primarily to watch the calligraphy petition between Shu Wan and him and felt disgruntled about his apparent cash grab.
But as Ren Yong sold products, he also shared with the audience the hardships he had recently faced. Everyone thought he was being oppressed by Shu Wan’s side due to the whistleblower incident. Feeling sympathetic, they turned a blind eye to Ren Yong selling products.
Before Shu Wan began her livestream, those eager for a show had no choice but to hop into Ren Yong’s livestream.
In no time at all, Ren Yong’s livestream reached an impressive level of popularity.
Seeing that he could make a profit of a million in less than an hour, Ren Yong’s ego inflated drastically.
Aiming for even higher viewership, he exaggerated facts and even started crying on camera, "My only wish is to bee an outstanding calligrapher and earn some money to take my parents on a trip. But I never imagined that my work would be stolen and that I wouldn’t even get an explanation. I’m truly devastated."
