Chapter 141 – The Forecast for Tomorrow is an Explosive Hot Search (46.1)

After sending Ji Shenxiao away, Qiu Jin returned to the hotel. Just as he got back to his room, he received a call from his agent.

Yang Chi’s voice was full of anxiety. “Have you looked online? There is dirt on you!”

“There’s people throwing dirt on me again?” Qiu Jin was practically immune at this point. He closed the door and asked, “What are they saying?”

“Who have you been with recently?” Yang Chi paused for a moment. His voice was trembling, “There are pictures of you having a tryst at a hotel.”

Qiu Jin almost laughed out of anger, “I wish, but I’ve been filming here everyday. Whom would I be having a tryst with?”

“I’ll send you the link. You can read it first and determine who the other party is before you respond.”

“Okay,” Qiu Jin wasn’t overly concerned, but he comforted Yang Chi, “It’s just rumors, don’t worry about it.”

How could Yang Chi not worry? Qiu Jin was a rising star. If scandals keep popping up then it’d be bad for his reputation.

Qiu Jin clicked on the link. The Weibo account only had a few hundred thousand followers. It was probably some studio’s alternate account and got abandoned after popping off once. Accounts like this were too numerous to mention individually.

Interactions on Weibo were usually not very high, but this one has become popular with tens of thousands of retweets.

The picture was of him and Ji Shenxiao walking into the hotel together. When Qiu Jin saw the picture, he was shocked for a moment and almost took it for real.

Was Ji Shenxiao such a gentleman to be protecting his back? But he didn’t feel Ji Shenxiao’s touch on his back at that time. It was probably only a light assist. But the angle of the photo was tricky; making it look like Ji Shenxiao was holding Qiu Jin in his arm.

The accompany text also had the flavor of some conspiracy, “No wonder Qiu Jin has such good resources after his comeback. It turns out there is someone supporting him from the back.”

The use of the phrase “supporting him from the back” was used well. It has two meanings and the picture was very suggestive, which attracted a large number of netizens to praise the post.

The gossip surrounding Qiu Jin has been quiet for more than half a month during this time while he was busy filming. His haters were worried about not having any material on him to gossip about. With something like this, they immediately rushed in and made this Weibo post into a hot search.

Yang Chi: “Did you see it? So the situation is like this…”

Qiu Jin was amused, “That person is Ji Shenxiao. He invited our entire crew to dinner tonight. So how come only he and I were photographed, but not the rest of the huge crew?”

Yang Chi breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of misunderstanding was easy to explain. The entire crew could serve as witness. Most likely someone bought the hot search to pour dirt on Qiu Jin.

But then Yang Chi became nervous again, “Then why was President Ji hugging your waist? Are you two really together?”

Qiu Jin retorted, “Where did you hear that? Look at the picture carefully. It’s just the angle. He didn’t actually touch me.”

“What about the fact that you got the role?” Yang Chi has never seen Qiu Jin act, so he was not sure, “Did you really rely on your acting abilities?”

Qiu Jin was amused, “Even you do not believe me?”

“No, no, isn’t this… I just didn’t expect Yi Congqing to praise you so much. He has produced several Film Emperors and Film Empresses, you know. For you to suddenly became so powerful. I don’t dare to believe it out of the blue…”

These words made Qiu Jin feel comfortable. He put his feet up on the chair and said lazily, “Talk is useless. The pilot trailer will probably be released soon. When that happens my skills will slap these people in their faces.”

Yang Chi asked, “Then we just leave it alone?”

“Just leave it be.” Qiu Jin sneered. “All these little monsters and ghouls want me to come out and make a statement? What do they take me for? I don’t dance to their tune.”

Qiu Jin didn’t respond, but unexpectedly it was Xiang Xi who took the initiative to make a post on Weibo to defend him.

Although he was very reserved and did not mention anyone by name, the words, whether taken apart or put together, had the same meaning: Qiu Jin’s acting skills are obvious to all, so you haters should just wait to be slapped in the face.

Qiu Jin’s face was a little hot. Xiang Xi was really pure and unpretentious person. When he hated someone he would hate that person to death. Now that he had a slight change of perspective on Qiu Jin, he immediately stood up to defend him.

As soon as this Weibo post came out, Xiang Xi’s fans felt a little uncomfortable. They had been tearing apart Qiu Jin for so long, but the person involved actually wanted to shake hands and make peace?

For a while, the comments under that Weibo post were quite uncertain.

Xiang Xi’s manager was about to go bald. He immediately called Xiang Xi and said, “My great ancestor, I’m begging you, in the future please pause and think for a bit. Don’t treat Weibo like Moments*.”

[*T/N: Weibo is the China equivalent to Twitter. It is public. Moments is a social networking function on WeChat, which is for family and friends. It is private.]

Xiang Xi was not happy about that. “That’s just how it is. Who told them to spout nonsense?”

His manager replied, “Stop to think about who you are defending. When did you get to like him so much?”

“Who likes him?” As if a sore spot had been poked, Xiang Xi jumped up and said in a fierce tone, “Don’t you talk nonsense. I simply couldn’t stand it and stated the facts.”
