Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy

"Maybe we should cool things down first, the heat is too intense right now, and the CP fans are very agitated," suggested someone from the PR department.

Xiang-Nuan shook her head: "No, if we don't speak up now, the anti-fans will have said everything there is to say."

"Right, times have changed. Nuan-Nuan has just risen to fame, and those rival fans are watching closely. If you go quiet, their professional anti-fans certainly won't let things cool down."

After some thought, Xiang-Nuan said, "I'll respond on Instagram first. I was at fault too, and I owe the fans an explanation."

"How can you respond? Anything you say now will be wrong! Better to contact Xia Zehua first, see if he can help?"

Xiang-Nuan bit her lip; she didn't like asking others for help.

"If you don't want to find Xia Zehua, then ask Shen Yanshi to step in and say you two are dating normally, at least that might reduce some of the damage to your reputation."

Xiang-Nuan was silent for a moment, then finally dialed Xia Zehua's number.

"Hello? Xiang-Nuan, I was just about to call you. How could you be so careless and get caught by the paparazzi! The internet is blowing up."

She apologized: "Sorry, I didn't expect to be photographed, it was a sudden incident yesterday."

"What's your plan now? The online sentiment is very unfavorable for you, what does your PR team intend to do?"

"There are too many professional anti-fans muddying the waters, making things complicated. Can you help me clarify things?"@@novelbin@@

Xiang-Nuan asked this with little confidence.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zehua hesitated only a moment before agreeing: "Okay!"

Xiang-Nuan was stunned; she hadn't expected him to agree so quickly.

She reminded him softly: "This won't affect you even if you don't get involved."

"We're friends after all, aren't we? How could I not help with such a small favor? Xiang-Nuan, you're underestimating me."

"Thank you."

"No need for thanks. 'White Poplar' became a hit, and I've reaped many benefits. At first, I didn't quite understand the character Ji Yang, but it was you who helped me get into the role, explaining the inner character and psychology. I wouldn't have understood it so well or performed so convincingly. It might have been me getting criticized now if it weren't for you. I should be thanking you."

A good acting partner is extremely important; they can bring out the best in each other's performances.

Xia Zehua had been in the industry for several years, and Xiang-Nuan was the most focused and dedicated acting partner he had encountered. She not only understood her own role thoroughly but also actively helped him get into character and taught him how to perform at his best.

Xiang-Nuan played an indispensable role in the success of the show.

"Don't mind those negative comments online, people who know you understand what kind of person you are."

Xiang-Nuan smiled: "Yeah, thank you, Xia Zehua."

Soon after, Xia Zehua posted on Instagram.

"Xiang-Nuan is both a professional and excellent acting partner, and a good friend to me. Back on set, she helped me get into character and discuss the role.

She told me about Ni-Man's struggles and sensitivity, and Ji Yang's feeling of helplessness and frustration in his inability to save her.

It was under Xiang-Nuan's guidance that I was truly moved by the story, to the point where I felt like I was living as Ji Yang.

'White Poplar' was a turning point in my life, and I am grateful to have encountered the crew and Xiang-Nuan, an acting partner who is both a teacher and a friend."

This post stirred up a storm and quickly topped the trending searches.

Meanwhile, Zheng Xuanlin had also reached out to other cast and crew members of 'White Poplar' to show solidarity and vouch for Xiang-Nuan's professionalism.

Xiang-Nuan replied with thanks to each message.

The PR department immediately bought trending search spots.

"Xia Zehua debunks rumors for Xiang-Nuan."

"'White Poplar' crew supports Xiang-Nuan."

This directly suppressed the negative trending searches, and through the fan club, they quickly spread positive messages for Xiang-Nuan.

Xia Zehua's statement also guided the CP fans.

"I'm literally crying, they clarified they're just friends, but why does it feel like they're even more in love!"

"Which couple would debunk rumors for each other like this? I knew I wasn't wrong about them, both treasures are truly wonderful!"

"Xia Zehua can't bear to see Nuan-Nuan criticized, how could we hurt her? Didn't we agree to always love both treasures?"

"I don't believe they've never been together, you can tell from the text how they've supported each other through tough times. Xia Zehua even said he felt like he became Ji Yang, how could he not like Nuan-Nuan!"

"Yes! There's no one more perfect for each other in this world, Nuan-Nuan must be confused for the moment! She'll come around eventually!"

"It's all the fault of that Shen family's Young Master!"

Although some were still reluctant, clearly, Xia Zehua's statement had given them a leader, and they wouldn't be easily swayed by professional anti-fans muddying the waters. Instead, they would join forces with Xiang-Nuan's true fans to protect her.

Zheng Xuanlin finally breathed a sigh of relief as the situation was under control, collapsing into her chair: "That was nearly the death of me. Thank goodness for Xia. Otherwise, we would have been crushed. I'll have to treat him to a meal later."

Everyone at the company relaxed and joked: "That's right, it's all thanks to Nuan-Nuan's good relationships. The entire 'White Poplar' crew spoke up for her, that must be so frustrating for those anti-fans!"

"Come on, let's order some milk tea to celebrate!"

But suddenly, Xiang-Nuan gasped and sat up straight.

"What's wrong?"

Zheng Xuanlin was startled, thinking another crisis had emerged, and hurriedly leaned in to look at Xiang-Nuan's phone, her face freezing in shock.

At the top of the comment section under Shen Group's official Instagram post, the most liked comment came from the brave and fearless CP fans who didn't covet power.

"Can the Young Master just steal someone's girlfriend and climb over the wall? Homewrecker rising to the top, let's see how long you can be smug!"
