Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 4 Hot Search

After Huo Yunting left, Xie Qing clicked on his WeChat profile picture.

It is a starry sky.

To his surprise, the other party's WeChat name was simply Huo Yunting, so unpretentious.

I glanced at my WeChat name again: A loyal fan of Actor Gu.

Xie Qing: ...

He promptly changed his WeChat name back to his previous one.

Then I browsed Huo Yunting's WeChat Moments to find out his preferences.

result...

The other party only shows their Moments from the last three days.

Xie Qing: Uh... okay

Xie Qing couldn't help but recall the scene from earlier.

Huo Yunting's ears turned bright red, and he hurriedly walked out, looking exactly like he was fleeing in panic.

So innocent, damn, I love her even more.

He lay on the hospital bed, squirming excitedly, and tapped his finger to open the chat interface with Huo Yunting, sending two messages.

A lazy bum dreaming of getting rich quick: 【I don't have a boyfriend.】

A lazy bum dreaming of getting rich quick: 【I like you, I want to pursue you.】

After posting, instead of waiting for a reply, I glanced at the original owner's Weibo.

He only has a few thousand followers on Weibo, but the comments criticizing him could fill several floors, with Gu Yan's fans making up the majority of them.

The original owner had previously played a third male lead in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," and his performance was quite good, earning him some popularity for a while. Logically, he shouldn't have so few fans.

However, due to Xie Nuo's sycophants hiring online trolls to smear Xie Qing, claiming that he was sexually harassed by the director to get the third male lead role and shamelessly pursued the movie star, many people, unaware of the truth, turned into online trolls and started attacking him.

But it was clearly the original owner who got the role through the audition, and it was Gu Yan who pursued the original owner first and confessed his feelings first. What did the original owner do wrong in all of this?

Under the smear campaign of these comments, the falsehoods seemed to become the truth, and many fans unfollowed the original poster.

[Can't Xie Qing get out of the entertainment industry? Don't try to get involved with our Actor Gu!]

[The person upstairs is right, it's disgusting. The director of "The Firmament Changes" is in his fifties or sixties, how could he do that?]

This kind of person doesn't deserve to be a star at all. If someone with such low character can be a star, then so can I!

...

Xie Qing glanced at a few comments and found them to be incredibly offensive; this generation of netizens is so easily swayed by others.

That's what they say, but there's no evidence. Besides, I think Xie Qing is very handsome; even Movie Emperor Gu might not be good enough for him.

Surprisingly, someone actually spoke up for me!

When you open the replies to this comment, you find nothing but insults and abuse from Gu Yan's fans.

Xie Qing quickly thought of a comment, promptly liked it, and then replied.

I also feel that he's not good enough for me.

The door to the ward was pushed open, and Xie Qing put down his phone to see that it was the female nurse who had promised to buy him porridge.

Having been lying down for so long, Xie Qing was starving. The nurse handed him the porridge, and Xie Qing immediately opened the lid and started eating.

He ate very quickly, but not in a rude way; on the contrary, it was a pleasant sight to behold.

"Thank you, sister. How much is this porridge? I'll transfer the money to you."

The nurse smiled and said, "No need, it's not expensive, consider it my treat."

"Okay, thank you very much." If I refused again, I would be letting them down.

"Young man, how old are you? Do you have a girlfriend? I have a relative who's... "

"Sister, I have someone I like, and I'm pursuing him." Seeing that the nurse was about to play matchmaker for her, Xie Qing quickly interrupted her.

The nurse looked slightly disappointed, but didn't say anything. She told him to rest well and then went back to work.

Xie Qing sensed her kindness and felt sorry for the original owner of the body, thinking that she hadn't returned home all night and none of her Xie family members had called to inquire about her.

Xie Qing felt that her physical strength and mental state had recovered somewhat, so she went to complete the discharge procedures.

Hilarious! If he stays here any longer, he'll really be broke. Who would have thought that a VIP ward costs 10,000 yuan a night, plus other fees, totaling 12,000 yuan?

Xie Qing stared into deep thought at the eight thousand yuan balance in the original owner's card.

After leaving the hospital, he spent one yuan to buy a mask, put it on, and then took the subway back to the house the original owner had previously rented.

Fortunately, the original owner had paid a year's rent upfront, and the lease hadn't expired yet.

Upon arrival, Xie Qing got out of the car and looked at the somewhat old neighborhood in front of him. He showed no disgust; this place was far better than the slums where he had lived as a child.

After Xie Qing arrived at the floor, she entered the password, the door opened, and she changed the password as well.

The house in front of him was smaller than he had imagined, about 40 square meters. It was a duplex apartment, and everything was very tidy, which showed that the original owner was a clean person.

The first thing he did when he got home was to recharge his phone, and then he fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, it was already getting dark outside. He stretched, got out of bed, and checked his phone.

So many missed calls, and it seems like they all came from the same person.

The phone number is labeled as Sister Ting.

Xie Qing recalled in her mind that this seemed to be the original owner's agent, a person with a somewhat irritable temper, but also the only person in the entire book who was genuinely good to the original owner.

When the original owner was being attacked online, this Sister Ting endured tremendous pressure but never gave up on the original owner. She even pleaded with Gu Yan, only to be humiliated by Gu Yan's manager.

Finally, under pressure from the Gu family, she was fired from the company, and no agency dared to hire her.

Xie Qing called back, and as soon as the call connected, she heard a deafening roar from the other end.

"Aaaaaah, Xie Qing, you brat, did your account get hacked, or have you taken the wrong medicine lately?"

"You're trending on social media, do you even know that? The comments are all insults directed at you."

You could tell the other person was really angry.

Xie Qing opened Weibo and searched for the relevant term.

[Is Actor Gu unworthy of Xie Qing?!] Hot

Xie Qing clicked on it and saw that someone had screenshotted and posted his reply, and there were indeed quite a few people calling him shameless.

Xie Qing was not surprised at all by this; in fact, it was within his expectations.

"Sister Ting, I'm trending on social media! Isn't that a good thing? Others want to be on it but can't!"

Xie Qing yawned, his tone languid.

"Do you know how many people are cursing you down there? Gu Yan's fans would love to tear you apart."

“Sister Ting, I know, but black and red are still red, aren’t they?” Xie Qing said in a drawn-out tone, sounding somewhat meaningful.

After a minute of silence, the other end said, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"Guess!" The tone was somewhat smug.

"You little rascal, when did you become so cunning? This isn't like you. What's wrong, have you been through a lot of setbacks lately?"

"Can't you wish me well for once?" Xie Qing said helplessly.

The person on the other end chuckled, their initial anger gone, replaced by a slightly joking tone.

"We've managed to ride on the coattails of the movie star's popularity."

Xiang Yiting had to admit that this move was indeed a good one. There were already many posts online criticizing Xie Qing, so clarifying things at this point would be useless; it was better to just keep attacking him.

Anyway, being famous for being infamous is still being famous. Some variety shows or directors like to use actors who are famous for being infamous to attract viewers. At least they can still get roles. As long as there is still a way to go, Xie Qing still has a chance to turn things around.

Xie Qing sneered inwardly. What do you mean by "mooching"? This is what he should pay back.
