Chapter 651: Did Shi Kanshan Do This?

Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Did Shi Kanshan Do This?

With the first Shi Family, there naturally would be a second Shi Family.

And indeed, becoming the target of Shi Yaoguang’s misplaced anger, was the second Shi Family.

The second Shi Family was in the construction materials business and had a certain level of fame within their circle.

However, they had no actual connection to the first Shi Family.

Shi Yaoguang’s targeting of the second Shi Family was purely because they also bore the "Shi Family" name and thus were targeted deliberately.

It was completely unreasonable.

Acting solely based on personal preferences, such a person was truly unfit to be a celebrity.

In doing so, she was absolutely failing to maintain the positive image that an idol should possess.

...

At the end of the article, a very pointed hypothesis was presented.

That is...

If Shi Yaoguang could target the innocent second Shi Family on a whim, might there then be a third, or a fourth Shi Family in the future?

If there really were, how would they protect themselves?

Keep in mind, Shi Yaoguang’s status was not to be trifled with, her being madam Quan alone was enough to deter most people from crossing her.

Not to mention, she was not just madam Quan.

Besides being madam Quan, she was also an award-winning actress of the most prestigious awards.

In addition, she had released innovations like the Space Button, robots, the Protection Shield, and the medical-related Yaoguang Flower.

In summary, the list of her achievements was extensive.

At her current status, Shi Yaoguang was virtually unshakeable by the average person.

Nor would anyone in their right mind dare to provoke her.

But...

They needed to protect themselves.

Shi Yaoguang’s grand status was impressive, but that should not mean sacrificing others because of it.

How tragic was it for the second Shi Family?

Just because they shared the same surname as the Shi Family, they were deliberately targeted by Shi Yaoguang.

If Shi Yaoguang decided to blacklist someone within a circle, wouldn’t that be all too easy for her?

It was believed that once a blacklist directive was issued, it wouldn’t be long before the second Shi Family went bankrupt.

With the first occurrence, there would undoubtedly be countless more.

Shi Yaoguang was using her status to deliberately bully the unfortunate.

Such behavior was intolerable to anyone with empathy.

...

After reading the trending search’s content, Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue lightly.

This Weibo post was clearly targeting her.

Her issues with the second Shi Family were unknown to the outside world, and they didn’t need to know.

After all, this was considered Shi Fan’s private matter.

Yet...

Not only had the outside world become aware, but it had also been reported.

But then again, she didn’t recall saying anything about blacklisting the second Shi Family, did she?

It was a mystery how things had come to this.

As she pondered her confusion, Shi Fan ran up to her, fuming with anger.

Just when Shi Yaoguang was wondering what she might have done to upset Shi Fan, Shi Fan spoke up.

"Sister, I’m sorry!"

The little guy’s face was filled with rage, yet the first thing out of his mouth was an apology, which took Shi Yaoguang by surprise.

She immediately asked, "Xiaofan, what happened?"

Shi Fan huffed and, still exhibiting a furiously cute expression, proceeded to explain the reason for his apology.

As it turned out, the so-called "Shi Yaoguang blacklisting the second Shi Family" stemmed from Shi Fan having spread the word.

He was unwilling to assist Shi Kanshan and yet had no intention of cutting off his financial path.

The core message in what Shi Fan said was singular.

That was...

Regardless of whether there was any relationship or cooperation with the second Shi Family,

he implored everyone to please, out of consideration for him and Shi Yaoguang, not to give him any convenience.

Initially, of course, nobody knew who Shi Fan was.

Shi Fan did have a military rank, but it wasn’t evidence to flaunt.

So...

When others asked, he would say that he was Shi Yaoguang’s brother.

As Shi Yaoguang’s brother, Shi Fan requested that people should not treat Shi Kanshan differently because of them.

When this message reached the ears of the public, its meaning changed greatly.

Even some people, pretending to be clever, thought that Shi Yaoguang and Shi Fan might be up to something...

Others, more direct, considered making Shi Kanshan go bankrupt.

These were all things Shi Fan had never anticipated.

Shi Fan had experience from being away from home, but that little experience, when it comes down to it, hadn’t fully shaped his outlook on life yet.

He was smart, but still just a child.

He knew there were things he could do and things he couldn’t do, yet he didn’t know how to do them, what should be done, and what shouldn’t.

After all is said and done, the meaning was still the same.

Shi Fan had messed things up.

After seeing the trending searches, he came to apologize.

He also wanted to discuss a solution with Shi Yaoguang.

If Shi Yaoguang were an amateur, naturally she wouldn’t need to worry about these troubles, she could solve them herself.

But she was a leading actress, already a public figure.

How many eyes were on her?

If she made the slightest mistake, what she faced wouldn’t be just simple questioning.

Therefore, Shi Fan believed that the mistake he made must be rectified by himself.

After Shi Yaoguang learned the cause and effect, she didn’t take it seriously.

The existence of marketing accounts had long been no secret.

It’s just that some people could recognize the sound of marketing accounts.

Others couldn’t see through them, and it was because they couldn’t that they were led by these accounts.

Those who could be led by marketing accounts either lacked any brains or were unwilling to use their brains, believing whatever they saw.

Believing one minute, they might face embarrassment the next.

However, most people would simply repeat this process over and over.

Even if this process was truly tedious, no one would change it.

Regarding this, Shi Yaoguang felt very helpless.

Despite her helplessness, she couldn’t change it.

Since there was no way to change it, she couldn’t be bothered with it anymore.

In the end, she was planning to retire.

To take an indefinite break from the entertainment industry.

Originally, she had planned to gradually fade from the public’s view, but now...

Perhaps she should just make the announcement, to prevent people from constantly targeting her.

However, before she announced her retirement from the entertainment industry, she had to find out who leaked the news.

Her retirement was voluntary, and even if she were to leave, she did not want to be anyone’s stepping stone.

No matter the reason, she had no obligation to be a stepping stone for others.

Truthfully, Shi Yaoguang was very curious.

Who was the little star so eager to step on her to climb higher?

The trending search copy mentioned it.

Her identity was not to be taken lightly.

Logically, a minor celebrity in the entertainment circle shouldn’t have the audacity.

There’s also a saying,

"The brave dies of courage, the timid dies of hunger."

There’s some truth to it.

Perhaps someone had the audacity to pluck hairs from a tiger’s face to warm themselves.

The result of the investigation, however, was beyond Shi Yaoguang’s expectations.

The person who hired the marketing account was not a minor celebrity.

The one who deliberately leaked the information turned out to be one of the main characters in the story mentioned in the copy.

The second Shi Family.

To be frank about the second Shi Family, the decision-maker was Shi Kanshan.

Essentially, this whole affair had been orchestrated by Shi Kanshan himself.
