Chapter 237: Chapter 226: Using Four Performance Cards (4k)

Everyone was furious to death.

They had all been quite fond of Wu, finding him amusing and enjoying his antics and the rhythms he stirred up.

But now, to their surprise, the celebrity they had a good impression of seemed to have turned against them.

The more fond they were before, the angrier they were now.

Everyone mercilessly criticized him in the comments of Wu Mu’s official Weibo announcement.

But as they went on, some started feeling that something was off.

"... Why does it feel like we’ve become the same as the anti-fans that used to curse out Wu?"

"This situation seems familiar... I can totally imagine Wu not giving a damn about us, playing his games or fiddling with his phone as usual."

The scene was all too familiar, the exact same one they had witnessed anti-fans cursing Wu many times before.

Only now, they were the ones doing the spraying.

They were as disgruntled now as they had been happy watching the commotion before.

Just thinking that despite their current vicious cursing, Wu might still be as indifferent as ever made everyone feel uncomfortable all over.

Discomfort was one thing.

"... Wu isn’t going to slap us in the face this time, is he?"

Based on their previous experience as spectators, the script that would follow usually meant that no matter how fiercely they criticized, Wu remained unaffected, and the product he endorsed still sold incredibly well.

He would prove with actual performance that those criticizing him were inconsequential.

"How could that be possible? Before, Wu endorsing tissues or games was one thing, but now he’s endorsing cars; do you really expect Wu’s fans to boost the car sales too?"

The two were nowhere near the same price range.

Even the most impulsive people would not decide to buy a car so rashly.

But talk was cheap.

Despite this, the spray of criticism was becoming increasingly forceful.

"This isn’t working; we’re not professionals at this."

"Where are Wu’s anti-fans? Come out and curse him with us!"

"We’re on your side this time, to take him down!"

"Yeah, come out and write those little essays! Curse him for being immoral, standing against the people, and doing anything for some damn money! I’ll be the first to like and share!"

Under Wu Mu’s official Weibo announcement, netizens were calling for Wu Mu’s anti-fans to join in.

And Wu Mu’s anti-fans naturally didn’t hold back from participating in this sort of thing.

...

In Zhang Li’s apartment in Beijing.

Zhang Li and her best friend Han Yan, both off work today, were cooped up at home, watching a movie and chatting.

They were discussing a new special report coming up in their magazine office when Han Yan felt her phone vibrating.

She took it out, puzzled, and saw a notification for a message that @everybody.

Anti-fan group leader of Wu Mu: "@everybody."

After a moment’s shock, Han Yan burst into laughter, "It must be Wu stirring up trouble again."

Zhang Li, sitting beside her, was almost speechless with her face in her hands, "Wasn’t he busy filming recently? How could there be another issue?"

The situation was too familiar; they didn’t even need to check to know.

Just from the message from the anti-fan group leader that @everybody, they could guess that there was definitely more trouble with Wu Mu.

And, indeed.

As Han Yan clicked in, she saw the Weibo post from Wu Mu and a screenshot from the comments section that the anti-fan group leader had posted.

"Wu took on the endorsement for Phaeton?" Han Yan was startled.

This was indeed a recent hot topic, and even she, who didn’t follow the car scene, had heard about it.

Some of her colleagues had even jokingly mentioned in their Moments that they were too poor to afford luxury cars.

"He dares to get involved in this kind of controversy... Wu really isn’t afraid of being cursed," Han Yan commented with a sigh.

The more she paid attention, the more she felt that Wu, her former idol, was truly fearless after the collapse.

She couldn’t believe that Wu Mu couldn’t see the harm in taking this endorsement, but he went ahead and did it anyway, which could only mean he didn’t care about being cursed at all.

Zhang Li also shook her head, "He’s ticking off more and more people."

At the beginning, when he fell from grace, only his former fans who had jumped ship were cursing him. Then it slowly included people from other companies in the industry and fans from rival circles, and now even the previously amused bystanders had joined in.

Each controversy was bigger than the last.

She could already imagine the upcoming scene of Wu Mu being blacklisted by the entire internet.

The anti-fan group was also all revved up.

They didn’t need to go looking for trouble; this damn dog kept bringing it on himself.

Even the previously neutral onlookers had started cursing him, and they were the main forces.

They couldn’t see how this damn dog was going to turn things around this time.

Everyone agreed that this time was definitely the most hopeful!

Although every time seemed the most hopeful, this time it really was!

Of course, there were those who still worried based on past experiences.

"What if this time, fans still help boost his sales? If people curse him online, but fans still help boost the sales, it won’t hurt him at all. People would still see him as valuable, maybe even more so."

Ultimately, their goal in discrediting this dog was to diminish his commercial value, make the industry wary of hiring him, and force him out of the circle.

But if the whole internet backlash happened and his fans still managed to boost sales... that might actually demonstrate to other brands the loyalty of his fanbase, possibly making them even more eager to hire him.
