Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Unlucky

Cheng Xiaohua spoke composedly, and He Jinxia felt reassured listening to her. Cheng Xiaohua was steady in her work, possessed the whimsical nature common among the young, but she would definitely not be as impulsive and rash as a hot-headed kid.

"By the way, are you really going to the hospital to see a doctor tonight?" Cheng Xiaohua asked curiously.

He Jinxia replied indifferently, "No need, let them all know it’s just my excuse to show that I’m not taking sides."

She looked down and casually scrolled through Weibo, and the news on the topic square refreshed immediately.

He Jinxia scrolled down and suddenly paused her motion, her eyes slightly narrowed, staying on one of the news pieces.

Entertainment All-knowing: [JY Girl Group’s first concert concludes perfectly, members not affected by He Jinxia’s departure!]

He Jinxia clicked on the topic, and soon, an article appeared before her eyes.

[This afternoon, the second-rate popular girl group—JY, together with many top-tier popular singers, held a concert at the Imperial Capital First Stadium that could accommodate a hundred thousand people, with not a single empty seat, achieving a resounding success!

After the concert, the members of the JY Girl Group took photos and selfies with their seniors backstage, seemingly unaffected by He Jinxia’s departure, each adapting well.

Entertainment All-knowing specifically interviewed the group’s leader, Li Zimu, asking her opinion on He Jinxia not following the singer and dancer path but instead turning to acting. Li Zimu expressed respect for He Jinxia’s choice, saying no matter what field He Jinxia pursues, they will support her, and stated that JY Girl Group will always welcome He Jinxia back, as they are all one family!]

The article was interspersed with gorgeous photos of the JY Girl Group members, each looking good with fair skin, beautiful faces, and long legs.

He Jinxia scrolled to the bottom to look at the comments.

[Ever since the day He Jinxia and Fat Emperor went viral, I knew that sooner or later JY would come over and ride on the coattails of their popularity [picking nose]]

[JY’s hypocrisy is nauseating, who doesn’t know that it was you who asked Fat Emperor to leave the group? And now you say ’welcome back’, are you welcoming back to ride on your popularity?]

[JY support for life! They are all former teammates, it’s not nice for you Fat Emperor fans to be cursing here, how awkward would it be for Fat Emperor if she and JY are actually on good terms and she sees these kinds of comments?]

...

In the comments, it was nothing more than criticizing JY for leeching off popularity and whitewashing their relationship. He Jinxia glanced through a few and then closed it.

Returning to the topic square and refreshing again, she didn’t expect to see JY’s news once more, with one out of every ten news pieces being about JY.

The corners of her mouth curved up slightly, a playful smile appearing on her face. Interesting.

After thinking for a moment, she directly opened the trending search list and, sure enough, at number 89 she saw "JY concert" as a trending term. With a casual refresh, the term jumped to number 81, and with another refresh, it had already entered the top 70.

They were brushing for popularity!

And they were doing it by using the hype around her name!

Without a doubt, He Jinxia had once again been taken advantage of. Counting this time, this was already the third this year to leech off her. This made He Jinxia wonder if she was just having an unlucky year.

"Dinglingling—" The phone’s ringtone rang, it was Luo You calling, He Jinxia picked it up.

As soon as Luo You spoke, it was about the JY Girl Group incident.

"We’ve just monitored the Weibo data; the JY Girl Group is pushing for the trending search list, and along with it, your search volume has also been rising. Our analysis is that JY’s team wants to use you to generate buzz, hoping that your fans and JY’s fans will start tearing at each other, the bigger the conflict, the longer the buzz lasts.

```

"So our thinking is not to let them capitalize on your fame. That’s why you can’t fall out with JY’s fans – not just avoid disputes, but create the impression that you have a good relationship with them. You scratch my back, I scratch yours, everyone’s happy. And if that’s the mood, JY’s popularity won’t flare up. What do you think?"

He Jinxia understood Luo You’s tactic all too well. It had been half a year since she arrived in this world, and she had observed what kind of news the netizens liked: the bloodier, the better; the more exaggerated, the better. A calm and amiable relationship hardly stood out.

But...

He Jinxia’s gaze dropped, and she clenched her fists slightly; there was an undeniable sense of reluctance.

"Jinxia, Jinxia?" Luo You’s voice echoed in her ear.

He Jinxia came back to her senses and said indifferently, "Brother Luo, you’ve already figured out a solution, so let’s go ahead with your plan."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and then Luo You asked an unexpected question: "How is your relationship with the JY girl group?"

He Jinxia gave a light laugh and retorted, "Do you want the truth?"

Luo You: "No need, I already know your stance. Jinxia, I understand you’re irritated with them riding on your popularity. Not just you, I’m irritated too. If you don’t want this heat to keep brewing, you have to take the route of pretending to have a good relationship to stop it."

He cut to the chase: "The same old saying, your influence is too weak right now. If you want to avoid being used for others’ fame and act freely, you have to hurry up and become a top star.

The rule in this circle is that those below the top are mere ants. You always have to follow the heat of the discussion, and it’s normal to be compelled by circumstances. Only when you become a top star will you have a place in the circle and the power to speak."

He Jinxia bowed her head, her eyes flashing with a sharp light.

That’s just the nature of this circle. Survival of the fittest, elimination of the unfit. Only by constantly climbing up, reaching the highest point, can you become the person who rewrites the rules.

In her ear, Luo You’s voice continued: "You’re still filming. Rest up. Don’t post anything rash on Weibo, I’m going to hang up now."

He Jinxia uttered a "Mhm" and also ended the call.

She moved the phone away from her ear, swiped across the screen, exited Weibo, and opened WeChat.

Cheng Xiaohua, who was driving, asked curiously, "Who just called you?"

He Jinxia didn’t intend to hide it from her. After all, she could find out by going online. So she replied, "Brother Luo. He told me not to scroll through Weibo. The JY girl group is riding on my popularity to trend on the hot search."

Cheng Xiaohua was silent for a while and finally said, in a somewhat helpless tone, "You really have bad luck."

He Jinxia raised her eyebrows, found Meng Wan in her WeChat contacts, and replied, "Tell me about it. I also think I’ve been quite unlucky this year."

Cheng Xiaohua said, "Don’t bother with all these irritating messes. Brother Luo and Brother Da You will handle the PR for you. Thinking too much is just annoying. It’s better to think about nothing and focus on acting your role. In the end, you won’t have to deal with them anyway."

Won’t have to deal with them in the future?

He Jinxia shook her head slightly, her eyes passing over a trace of complexity. It was hard to say.

She typed a message to Meng Wan while saying, "Hmm, I’ll be careful."

Cheng Xiaohua, not fully aware of the situation between JY and He Jinxia, was afraid to say the wrong thing and discontinued the topic afterward.

The car fell silent, but on WeChat, the conversation between He Jinxia and Meng Wan was lively.
