Lu Zhihang was extremely angry. Almost instinctively, he logged into his alt account.
He entered the hot - search section and started replying to those scolding posts one by one. His words were very fierce. In no time, he got into an online argument on Weibo.
However, it's hard for one man to fight against many. No matter how hard Lu Zhihang tried to defend Lin Wan by arguing online, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Yet, patience was the one thing Lu Zhihang had in abundance over the years. He once spent a whole month watching similar plays in the grand theater for a role, and revised the lyrics and melody of a song day and night. Now, of course, he could also tirelessly argue with people on Weibo for Lin Wan.
Those speaking up for Lin Wan on Weibo were in the minority. His suddenly - emerged blank alt account soon caught a lot of people's attention.
Within a few days, some big names on the internet dug out his identity behind the alt account. Suddenly, the news that Lu Zhihang had created an alt account to argue with people on Weibo to protect his girlfriend spread like wildfire.
Once again, it caused a huge stir on the internet.
"Damn, is that really Mr. Lu? The blogger makes a convincing case. I'm almost convinced!"
"@Lu Zhihang, can you come out and clarify? Is it really you? It can't be, right? Is it really necessary to go to such lengths for a woman like Lin Wan? This alt account should be Lin Wan's own attempt to whitewash herself, right?"
"Hey, where did this hater come from? Even now, they're still deluding themselves. Are they some hired trolls?"
"Agreed. There's no doubt the second poster is a troll!"
"I really didn't expect Mr. Lu to do such a thing."
"Just because of this, I declare that from now on, I'm a fan of Lu Zhihang. I'll go and catch up on all his TV dramas first."
"Brother above, let's go together."
"As a fan of Miss Lin, I want to say to Mr. Lu, well done!"
"Mr. Lu, the wife - protecting maniac, seems so cute! I like him so much!"
"Yes, yes, I super like such a wife - protecting maniac. Mr. Lu just hits all my cute - spots! I'm in love! Even if you like Lin Wan, I still love you!"
"But Mr. Lu, you'd better stop. After all, you're a public figure. If someone uses this as a stain against you, it won't be easy to explain."
"Exactly! @Lu Zhihang, Mr. Lu, stop arguing. We fans are here. How can we let you do such a thing?"
"Yes, yes. @Lu Zhihang, stop arguing. Leave this kind of thing to us in the future. For Mr. Lu, I'm willing to argue with those keyboard warriors in my spare time. We fans can handle it. You just accompany Miss Lin well!"
...
The news on the internet spread like wildfire and soon reached the ears of Lu Zhihang's new agent, Hu Weisheng.
When he first heard the news, he was almost crazy. He thought it was all over. After Lu Zhihang's outburst, God knows how many fans he would lose!
But then he took a look at Lu Zhihang's Weibo. Instead of losing fans, the number increased. What was going on?
Hu Weisheng was stunned. It took him a while to come to his senses. He quickly took out his phone and called Lu Zhihang.
However, Lu Zhihang had always disliked him. How could he answer his call? He simply hung up without hesitation. No matter how many times Hu Weisheng called, Lu Zhihang hung up. In the end, he just blocked Hu Weisheng.
In the end, Hu Weisheng reported the matter to Han Yan. It was Han Yan's call that finally got through to this temperamental guy.
When Lu Zhihang answered the phone, he sounded very lazy, with a lifeless tone.
"Xiaolu, what are you doing now?" Han Yan took several deep breaths to suppress the surging anger in his heart. He forced a smile and asked.
Lu Zhihang grunted but didn't answer directly. However, the clear sound of keyboard - tapping on his end still betrayed what he was doing.
Han Yan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He quickly said, "Xiaolu, stop arguing with people on the internet with your alt account. They've already dug out your alt account! This will have a bad impact on you!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhihang did pause for a moment. Han Yan listened carefully to the movement on the other end, fearing that the keyboard - tapping would start again. Instead, he only heard the sound of fabric rubbing. It seemed that Lu Zhihang had stood up from his chair. The sound of the keyboard didn't come again. Han Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
"So what if they dug it out? They've bullied my girlfriend. What do I care about the impact?" Lu Zhihang said this with a lazy nonchalance. His tone was drawn - out, with a hint of mockery.
Han Yan took a deep breath and said, "It's not like that, Xiaolu. Do you want to give up your career just because you have a girlfriend? A man always needs a good career to take care of his woman, right? Stop posting. The internet is full of news about you arguing with people with your alt account. I'm doing this for your own good. If someone uses this to attack you, it won't be easy to deal with. Be good and listen. You have a shoot in a few days. You can't have any negative impacts at this time, right?"
Lu Zhihang looked out of the window. The sky was a deep blue. Scattered clouds were pulled into long streaks by something, as if dividing the sky into several parts.
Hearing Han Yan's words, a flash of mockery passed through his eyes. He hooked his lips into a nonchalant smile but didn't answer Han Yan.
Han Yan was silent for a while. He knew Lu Zhihang probably wouldn't answer. Then he said earnestly, "Zhihang, you know your contract with our company is almost up. I've sent people to talk to you many times, but you haven't given me an answer. ... Actually, I know what you're thinking even if you don't say it. But no matter whether you want to open your own studio or leave the entertainment industry in the future, you still have a few days left on your contract. I hope you can at least follow the company's arrangements during this time."
Lu Zhihang was silent for a while. Finally, he let out a non - committal scoff and said half - smiling, "Then you should also understand my bottom line. Don't touch Lin Wan. Don't even think about it. Otherwise, I'm not someone to be trifled with. Got it?"
...
In the office, Hu Weisheng could clearly see the vein on Han Yan's temple throbbing. He couldn't help shivering as he watched Han Yan angrily throw his phone on the table.
"Go. Based on Lu Zhihang's contract expiration date and the assumption that he won't renew, draw up a work plan. I want to squeeze out every last bit of his remaining value!" Han Yan said through gritted teeth after a moment of silence.
Hu Weisheng shivered and quickly nodded. He turned around and walked out of the office to discuss with the head of the publicity department.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhihang sat back in front of his computer. He casually flipped through the posts and sure enough, saw the blog that had dug out his alt account. He looked at the comments below. Seeing that most of them were positive, he smiled reassuringly and stopped caring about this matter.
