In an instant, Jian Feiyang’s fans’ expressions were all over the place.
All they could think: Fan Qing probably really does have a sharp eye—Jian Feiyang and Second Brother Jin together? That’s exactly “different households can’t enter the same door”!
Next, the fans erupted in uncontrollable laughter.
“Help—! Someone save me! These two are trying to kill me with laughter! I was just feeling so emotional a second ago, thinking the manager was so handsome, why didn’t I notice before? And now! These two successfully stole me away! I’m laughing so hard even roosters in a hundred-mile radius can’t compete!”
“HAHAHAHAHAHA! I’m dying here. Wait a second—they actually know each other! So maybe the manager, while looking suave and cold, is actually just as goofy as these two?”
“Help! Is Second Brother Jin really the CEO of Tenghuang? Can someone wake me up? This banner—he really made it himself? Since high school, I’ve never seen such a cultured, classy, clever banner! And the funniest part—Jian Feiyang is such a precious little angel, and he even used a treasure box to keep the banner! I can’t stop laughing!”
“2333, so sassy, really so sassy. Alright, I’m on Jian Feiyang’s team now! With a boss this goofy and a reliable, handsome manager, Jian Feiyang is definitely going to blow up!”
“LOL, Yangyang’s already popular! By the way, a little info: the two holding the banner behind Second Brother Jin—one is Guan Junhao, who’s quite close to Jian Feiyang, the other is Tenghuang’s newest leader, Huazi. (Psst, this one’s a total visual—recent covers and perfumes are insane.) Honestly, if I were them, I’d treasure the banner too!”
This comment made fans roll on the floor laughing.
“So, this is why people called Tenghuang chaotic? 2333, the whole company is full of these adorable goofballs? I can’t—they’re so funny, I love them!”
“I—I can barely breathe from laughing. Wiping my tears first, okay? But Fan Qing is seriously handsome, no doubt. I thought Jian Feiyang already had those skills, but it turns out it was Fan Qing’s intensive coaching. 2333. But our Yangyang really worked hard too. Thanks to Fan Qing for making him endure those few days, he had such a wonderful seven days on the survival show.”
Fans quickly pushed their gratitude for Fan Qing helping Yangyang live well to the trending list.
Those who had loudly criticized the script theory vanished without a trace.
What else could they do?
Keep claiming there was insider knowledge? Claim the crew gave them survival strategies ahead of time? Even they wouldn’t believe that themselves!
After all, the survival show has had so many seasons—every time, there’s even a preview of where they’ll go. If they wanted, couldn’t the other guests have done some special training too?
Others preparing in advance—what was wrong with that?
Even the four who had previously suspected the show had a script finally couldn’t hold back and spoke up.
The first to speak was the male singer whose displeasure with Jing Yuan had caused the team to split in the end.
He was frank:
“Yeah, I was influenced and got it wrong before. Now I stand here to apologize to Jian Feiyang and Manager Fan. I wasn’t well prepared for the show, and Jian Feiyang did really well. Honestly, I envy the other team for having such a great teammate—he’s a complete little angel.”
Two teammates who had split with him also came forward quickly.
The female celebrity who had sided with Jing Yuan, however, found herself in an awkward position. She wanted to speak, but previously she had done a lot to please Jing Yuan. If she spoke up now while Jing Yuan remained silent, wouldn’t all that effort be for nothing?
After waiting, once everyone else had spoken, Jing Yuan finally chimed in.
Jing Yuan v: I’ve always believed in Yang. It’s really great that this matter is settled. Hopefully, we can be on a show together again. @Jian Feiyang
Fan Qing glanced at the post, then at the glass of tea in his hand… almost smelling green tea. He shook his head, sipped, and put it down.
A predatory smile slowly spread across his face.
Jing Yuan doesn’t really think a casual post like that can cover everything, does he?
No sooner had Jing Yuan sent the post than he got another notification.
He roughly fumbled with his phone and opened it—just in time to see the female celebrity who had recently finished the show post her own Weibo.
Her post was simple—just expressing faith in the show—but she added a line at the end:
“…The teams were entirely random. Everyone worked hard. While they can’t compare to Little Brother Jian Feiyang, Jing Yuan was also diligent, watching many episodes and experienced.”
Jing Yuan froze, then his expression turned annoyed.
Was this woman an idiot? At a time like this, she was still trying to ride his coattails?
He quickly opened Weibo to contact her to edit it—but as soon as he did, he saw a comment already posted below her Weibo.
“…Emmm, you said you trust the show, but at the end you still mention Jing Yuan? And comparing him to Jian Feiyang…emmm, kinda seems like brown-nosing…”
Jing Yuan furrowed his brow.
It wasn’t that the comment was wrong—he could feel she was trying to flatter him, clearly hoping for something. Most of his screen time had been with this woman, after all.
But the speed of the comment… was ridiculous. Less than three minutes had passed.
He instinctively refreshed, and the comment section was flooded.
Apart from one clearly fan-made comment, “Thanks for your hard work, sister, you did great this episode, don’t worry about unrelated matters,” all the other comments echoed the first.
Jing Yuan’s frown deepened.
He skimmed quickly, and his heart sank. Someone was messing with him.
He hurriedly went back to his earlier Weibo post.
Sure enough, a wave of new users had already swarmed it.
“? After all these shows hyping Jian Feiyang as someone familiar, nobody defended him, now others post because he’s rising?”
“Not sure what the last poster’s connection is, but the way you two act is really ugly.”
One comment even shot to the top:
“Does anyone really think the Internet has no memory? Let me remind you what started this ‘script’ event. Some old comparison video is still searchable. Who’s compared? Jian Feiyang and Jing Yuan. What was the result? Jing Yuan watched many episodes, prepared well, but his performance fell flat. Jian Feiyang, whose manager got attacked online for supposed scripting, actually performed amazingly, even carrying four obviously weak teammates. So the question: why was Jian Feiyang’s team success called scripted, while the most advantaged team with Jing Yuan earned sympathy? Now we know it was because Manager Fan’s guidance was strong, and Jian Feiyang worked hard under it. Without that, what would his team’s experience have been? Comparing to Jing Yuan’s group, you see? So who really had the ‘script’? Think about it.”
Bystanders reading this suddenly understood.
“Giao! I knew something was off. Even if Jian Feiyang had a script, I hardly ever check this show. Turns out people just got jealous and hated him!”
“Mixed feelings. I believed in the script theory before, but after seeing the training video, I can only say Manager Fan is amazing, plus Jian Feiyang is truly a little angel, working so hard. Meanwhile, Jing Yuan playing the victim—can’t understand it. He claimed to have watched many episodes, but his ability was mediocre. Turns out he just wanted to craft the ‘well-prepared’ persona, but Jian Feiyang blocked him. Sigh, I was too naive.”
“Thanks to the analysis posts, I finally understand the event. Jing Yuan feeding off others’ effort, taking credit behind the scenes—it’s disgusting. Honestly, his fans praise his looks, but all I see is the malice under the surface.”
It seemed as if those comments, which looked like genuine opinions from netizens, carried the weight of a hidden hand.
Jing Yuan felt it—a hand manipulating strings from behind, stirring unease in him.
No, he couldn’t just sit there and wait to be destroyed.
He was about to call his manager to strategize when, coincidentally, the manager called him first.
For the first time, the manager sounded frantic.
“Bad news! Nie Luo’s lost it—he mentioned you by name on Weibo! And he wants to terminate his contract with the company!”
What?!
Jing Yuan’s pupils dilated. His hands trembled so badly he could barely hold the phone. It took several minutes before he managed to open Nie Luo’s Weibo.
Nie Luo v: Recently, some have asked why I haven’t been working. It’s not that I’m avoiding work, but my manager and @Jing Yuan repeatedly assigned resources that belong to me without consulting me. After careful consideration, I no longer wish to work with someone of this character and have decided to formally request contract termination.
Jing Yuan felt the world spin.
Fan Qing was equally stunned.
He quickly initiated a video call with Nie Luo. On the other end, Nie Luo looked impeccably handsome, almost godlike.
He glanced at Fan Qing, a subtle relaxation crossing his brows.
“Just in time—where are you? I have a gift for you.”
