Hence, Qin Zhou took it upon himself to log into his charge’s account to send well-wishes on her behalf.
Unfortunately, the fans were not impressed even though his post had been timely.
[Lu Jingtian has suffered such grave injuries; why did you have to wait till now to send your well-wishes when the other artists have long posted theirs on Weibo?]
[Aren’t you too aloof to Lu Jingtian? No matter what, she’s your colleague, isn’t she? You appear to be unbothered by her tragic fate when you responded this late!]
Yun Shishi’s diehard fans started defending her when they saw her under attack. They would leave comments directed at those who were questioning her on Weibo.
[Oh, dear, I didn’t know Lu Jingtian has so many fans! I don’t see any of you standing up for her in the past, but now that she’s in trouble, all of you are pretending to be her supporters! Are you taking yourself to be Holy Mary, standing on a pedestal, who is free to judge the rest from above?]
[That’s right! You weren’t that supportive of Lu Jingtian back then. Now that something bad has happened to her, are you pretending to be kind-hearted for a change?]
[Holy b*tch! Must we post on Weibo to express concern?! What a hypocrite!]
[Lu Jingtian isn’t a national leader. Unfortunate stuff happens in life every day; does this mean Shishi needs to post on Weibo for every misfortune?! What a joke! One may as well spend their energy on filial piety instead of on an actress!]
[Lu Jingtian has got a bad rap; does she think that she can get away with it now that she’s injured? He he.]
Just as torrents of comments were being posted, fast and furious, on the actress’s Weibo account, some hawk-eyed people noticed something strange about the actress’s latest post.
[Why is it indicated that the post was sent via a VOA client? Shishi doesn’t usually use this cell phone, does she?]
[That’s right! Isn’t Shishi using the phone which she is endorsing?]
…
The client server of the cell phone would be revealed each time a message was posted on Weibo.
As the actress was endorsing one particular cell phone brand, her contract stated that she had to use the brand’s latest model in public places, especially web portals.
Some nosy netizens followed the lead and managed to come across Qin Zhou’s Weibo in the end. After they compared the client servers displayed on both accounts, they quickly posted their latest update. [The post wasn’t sent by Yun Shishi! I think it was sent by her agent through his phone after he logged into her account.]
A cyber war erupted as a result.
Many netizens accused the actress of being uncaring and insincere for making her agent send a get-well message on her behalf.
By the time the actress found out about this matter, the squabbling had escalated to a great extent, without signs of stopping.
The diehard fans and anti-fans were tearing each other down with their comments on Weibo.
Yun Shishi was befuddled momentarily; she did not recall sending a post like that at all!
The only possibility would be her manager.
She quickly called him and explained the situation. Qin Zhou did not know that he had exposed himself with his mobile client attached to the post.
“Oh, no… D*mn! The road to hell is paved with good intentions; I’ve messed up!”
The lady’s mouth twitched for a moment. “Boss, you can call me for any instructions. It is just a Weibo post; I do have time for such errands.”
“I’m just worried that you can’t cope with the demands! Your father needs you in the hospital, and on top of that, you have to prepare for an upcoming role. I don’t want to tire you out.”
