Hearing the message from the assistant of the program group, Jiang Ting and Xu Jiayin went from the practice room to the director’s office. Chen Yi also came out of the next practice room and the three happened to meet.

Jiang Ting greeted Chen Yi and said with a smile.

“How is your cooperation with Shiyu?”

Yesterday at noon, the program group said in advance that she and Xu Jiayin would be in a group. The others were also assigned their partner at night, which was Hong Shiyu.

Chen Yi shrugged, “It’s alright, we just chose the song.”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the silent person who was standing in the same line as Jiang Ting just now, but now half a body hid and pouted at Jiang Ting and he said.

“Why are you two still like this? What will happen when the competition comes?”

Jiang Ting could not help but want to touch her forehead when she heard Chen Yi’s teasing words. She rolled her eyes and said angrily.

“You can stop talking sarcastically. Besides, what can I do? What can I do with others if they don’t cooperate? I can not force them!”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ting was a little angry. Although she was recording the show that day, she did not listen to the other party’s speech seriously because she was in a daze, so she did not notice why the other party came to her. But he can not blame her entirely for this. He also did not tell her that he wanted to partner with her.

What’s more, in private, she tried to find an opportunity to apologize to the other party several times, but the other party was still indifferent and resisting. Immediately, the apology in Jiang Ting’s heart ran aground.

She was embarrassed once or twice, Jiang Ting is not a master who loves others. She can not do the thing of sticking a hot face to a cold butt1, so she just doesn’t care. In the end, it caused the two of them to become the lukewarm look they are now.

Xu Jiayin, who was half the height of the two of them, felt even more aggrieved looking at Jiang Ting who was laughing with Chen Yi in front of him.

He was ignored by the other party the day before yesterday. After becoming a partner with the other party yesterday, the other party’s first reaction was to be shady, which really humiliated him. It made him not want to communicate with Jiang Ting at all.

So when Jiang Ting took the initiative to talk to him, he did not even have a good face. But when the other party took the initiative a few times and saw that he ignored her and she just went to do her own thing again, Xu Jiayin felt that he was ignored by the other party again, which made him feel unspeakably uncomfortable. He wanted to go forward and say something to Jiang Ting, but seeing her and Chen Yi’s warm appearance, he suddenly lost his mind.

Xu Jiayin’s hypocrisy and entanglement are not known to Jiang Ting at all, she chatted with Chen Yi all the way to the director’s office without any psychological burden.

***

The entrance of the director’s office.

“Bang bang bang…” Jiang Ting knocked on the door.

“Come in.” The director sat in the office and looked at the fan comments on the official WeChat account of “National Couple” on the computer screen.

When will the coquettish Tingting v: “Did the program group offend anyone? Someone bought two black hot searches for the most popular contestants in the show and the program group doesn’t care?”

On the tree of meaning, Yiyi v: “Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for Chen Yi to fall in love with Jiang Ting. Chen Yi has been a good student since childhood. He has never been in love before and it is impossible for him to fall in love in the future.”

Only Ai Jiayin v: “Xu Jiayin is not gay, he is hacked. It’s all P pictures, animated pictures with AI face-changing, it’s fake. Stone hammer, look here. The program group still hasn’t come out to explain it?” Attached is a comparison between the original picture and the image of Xu Jiayin’s face changed by AI.

…

After Jiang Ting walked into the office with Chen Yi and Xu Jiayin, they saw the director’s eyes were full of anger. Before the three of them could say anything, they heard the director yelling furiously.

“Check, check for me, who is behind us? Money is not a problem, I just want to know which bastard is behind us, let me know that I won’t kill him! Also, we will respond later, give me a few good hot search positions, and I will call you later.” The director slammed the table with a grim expression.

If it was said that Xu Jiayin was gay, someone might be blackmailing Xu Jiayin. But the director could not believe that all of this was caused by fans’ bullying.

His mind is full of conspiracy theories. The shows are popular, but there is an opposite show that specifically blackmails his popular contestants. They want to make these three golden babies, who are dedicated to making money for them, die and want to mess with their popular show.

There is also a mobile phone with a loudspeaker on the director’s computer desk, obviously to communicate with the people on the phone.

Soon, the call was hung up.

After seeing the three people coming, the director gradually calmed down. He took out two more mobile phones, handed them to Jiang Ting and Xu Jiayin respectively, and said.

“Look at these two hot searches. What do you guys have to say?”

When Jiang Ting looked at the first hot topic on Weibo #XuJiayinGay#, she was taken aback and looked at Xu Jiayin.

At the same time, she saw Xu Jiayin raising her head, looking at her and Chen Yi with expressions beyond words, and said.

“It turns out that you are in love, no wonder…” Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Yi frowning.

“Xu Jiayin, you can eat indiscriminately, but don’t talk nonsense.”

Just as Xu Jiayin was about to reply, she heard Jiang Ting say in a low voice, “You have sharp-eyed. You can see the number five in the most popular search at a glance, but why don’t you look at what is the number one in the most popular search?”

Jiang Ting at this time also saw the topic of the fifth most popular search #ChenYi-JiangTingwasInLove#.

She clicked in and motioned for Chen Yi to follow along. Chen Yi leaned next to her and was stunned after seeing the surprisingly hot search.

“My God, when did I fall in love with you? Why didn’t I know?”

Jiang Ting sneered and said, “Look at the Weibo posted by these marketing accounts, the editing is better than the singing. What is the childhood sweetheart? Then you moved, and now you are back to participate in the competition for me, and in the show, we are officially in love. Why didn’t I know we had such a relationship when we were kids?”

Chen Yi looked at the news that Jiang Ting passed by, and his eyes shuddered, “This is someone hacking us, the copywriting of the marketing account is too obvious.”

Xu Jiayin on the side was trembling with anger, gnashing her teeth.

“Nonsense, since when am I gay? I don’t even know what these are. What’s the news about me going to a party every night, I’ve never been there at all, there’s no work ethic at all. All the content in it is made up. Who did it and why did they do it?”

Jiang Ting ignored Chen Yi and Xu Jiayin’s words, she looked at the director. Her eyes were burning and she said every word.

“The director asked the three of us to come. Shouldn’t the three of us stand here as wooden stakes, what did he want the three of us to do?”

She was different from Chen Yi and Xu Jiayin who were still struggling with who hacked them. Instead, she focused on the follow-up processing. Now she just wants to know what the director’s purpose is to find them, whether to hide them, withdraw from the competition, or block them.

When the director heard Jiang Ting’s question, his expression gradually relaxed. He even comforted Jiang Ting, saying.

“Don’t be so nervous, it seems that someone is blackmailing you. I asked you to come here to let you all know about this and I have a plan in mind. In addition, reply to your respective Weibo. Now, all your fans are asking the program team to give a reply under the official WeChat. I think the program team will reply, it’s better for you to reply yourself.”

After that, the director gave them their mobile phones.

After the three took their mobile phones, Jiang Ting thought that Chen Yi and she were both personal trainees, and there were no public relations behind them.

She was afraid that Chen Yi would make inappropriate remarks at this level, and instead added fuel to the fire, she said directly to Chen Yi.

“I’ll post first, you’ll post it later. Don’t mention me on Weibo. Remember to make the post shorter, it looks decisive and more convincing.”

At this juncture, to avoid the relationship between the two of them, when it comes to relationship, it is better not to involve the other party in the public relations response.

Chen Yi let out an ‘um’, then asked.

“What word shall I send?”

Jiang Ting paused for a while before replying: “You just say you’re not in love, you just need to keep competing seriously. Anyway, you can organize the language yourself.”

While telling Chen Yi, Jiang Ting quickly logged into Weibo and published Weibo.

Jiang Ting v: “#ChenYi-JiangTingwasInLove# is outrageous, don’t believe it.”

Jiang Ting also stole an emoticon package from a fan, which showed her rolling her eyes and the fan added the text: Get out.

God knows how those fans intercepted so many emoticons of hers, she doesn’t even know why she has those weird expressions.

After that, she did not say anything else. After posting a Weibo, she closed Weibo and put down her phone.

Chen Yi followed closely behind.

Chen Yi v: “I’m not in love, I’m very tired from practice, and I’m serious about competing… #ChenYi-JiangTingwasInLove#”

After the two posted on Weibo, the director quickly reposted and replied with the official Weibo account.

“National Couple” v: “Believe it or not//@Jiang Ting v: “#ChenYi-JiangTingwasInLove# is outrageous, don’t believe it.”

“National Couple” v: “I’m so busy with training every day that I don’t have time to rest, where can I find time to fall in love?//@Chen Yi v: “I’m not in love, I’m very tired from practice, and I’m serious about competing… #ChenYi-JiangTingwasInLove#”

On the other hand, Xu Jiayin encountered such a thing for the first time and wanted to write a lot of responses, but after listening to Jiang Ting’s words, he suddenly didn’t know how to respond.

While hesitating, he saw that the other two had handed over their mobile phones. With drooping eyelids, he gritted his teeth, moved to Jiang Ting’s side, and said.

“Can you help me, how should I reply?”

Jiang Ting: “…” She was shocked.

Whoops, isn’t it a miracle that Xu Jiayin took the initiative to talk to her? After being treated coldly for almost a day, she was inexplicably flattered.

But knowing the importance of the competition, Jiang Ting did not pretend to compete with the opponent in a pretentious manner. On the contrary, seeing that the other party gave a step, she took advantage of the situation and went down, saying.

“You’re welcome, you don’t have any reply to this. You just say that the news is fake. Just ask fans to pay more attention to your competition. If you want to say something else, you can add some appropriately, but…” Speaking of which, Jiang Ting lowered his voice, “But you seem to have a team, are you sure you don’t want to contact them?”

The main reason is that Jiang Ting and Chen Yi are both individual trainees, without a company or team, they can respond casually.

But Xu Jiayin is different. Jiang Ting remembers that the other party seems to be from 523 Entertainment, one of the eight major companies, and should have a team. In this case, Jiang Ting feels that even if it is public relations news, he has to discuss it with the team. Unless he does not trust the public relations team.

Xu Jiayin pursed his lips and said, “Thank you, and I’m sorry.”

Jiang Ting smiled and said.

“You’re welcome.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled as if they had passed the previous hurdle.

Afterward, Xu Jiayin communicated with the director and said he would contact the company. The result given by the company is to let Xu Jiayin leave it alone, they will conduct public relations.

Xu Jiayin thought about it and thought it was acceptable, so he let it go. But he didn’t know that the company’s rude operation almost made him miserable.
