Xiao Zhao quickly rushed back to Ding Shan’s apartment. As soon as she entered the door, she rushed toward Ding Shan.
Ding Shan leaned on the sofa and poured a cup of warm water for Xiao Zhao, motioning for her to rest.
Xiao Zhao did not have the time to drink water. However, when she saw Ding Shan’s calm expression, she forced herself to sit down. She drank a mouthful of water to dispel the chill in her body.
When Xiao Zhao was on her way back, Ding Shan had looked at the ugly information on the Internet. It was already the number one trending topic, and its popularity was still rising.
It looked like a candid photo sent by a “Righteous person.” It was unknown if the person who took the photo was nervous or if it had been specially processed. The image was so blurry that it was almost distorted. Like most of the leaked photos, the more blurry it was.., the more realistic it was, and the more people tried to guess who the person in the picture was.

Finally, they tactfully said that it was Ding Shan from two years ago; she was in an ambiguous embrace with the director of a significant internet movie.
The comments below were naturally “Shocked for a hundred years”, “I didn’t expect Ding Shan to have a such taste”, “The entertainment industry is so chaotic”, and so on.
The primary marketing accounts did not give up. It was as if they were looking at pictures and writing words. They vividly described how Ding Shan seduced the director at that time and how the two of them acted as a couple on the set as if no one was around; Ding Shan knocked on the director’s door at night and added scenes the next day. It was as if she was at the scene at that time.
Many netizens who did not mind watching the drama played jokes below. “I’m at the scene. I’m the microphone next to you. I can prove it.” Not long after, the people below formed an array.
Everyone’s attitude was no longer suspicious. Instead, it was a sigh of realization. So this was what Ding Shan was like. Indeed, no one in the entertainment industry was clean.
Some of the more extreme ones went straight to Ding Shan’s Weibo and sent private messages to scold her. They said that Ding Shan was a whore and had made use of the public’s sympathy. No wonder even her family didn’t like Ding Shan. She deserved it.
Ding Shan calmly looked at the comments online and was not angry.
In this line of work, one should not do it if one does not have the mental fortitude. This was only the beginning. As the popularity increased, more and more rumors would be involved. They still had a lot to criticize.
So until Xiao Zhao returned, Ding Shan was not scared by the sudden scandal. She was still lying lazily on the sofa.
Xiao Zhao’s phone rang non-stop. It was filled with all kinds of private messages and calls. Everyone was waiting for Ding Shan’s response, whether it was an admission or a rebuttal. These were all that they had been waiting for.
Xiao Zhao hung up the phone impatiently. There was no point in saying more now. They still had to discuss what to do next.
According to the current situation, the cold treatment would not work. Others would only think that Ding Shan had admitted it with a guilty conscience. However, if she responded, if she was not careful, she would also be picked on by others if she responded. They would say that Ding Shan dared to do it but did not dare to accept it.

Ding Shan smiled helplessly. “Don’t be anxious. The more anxious you are, the more flustered you will become. The heat is currently high, and the netizens are especially eager to eat melons. There’s nothing we can do. We still have to look at the direction of the wind.”
Xiao Zhao had a bitter expression on his face, “Why do we still have to look in the direction of the Wind? Many people did not use their brains. They would believe whatever the marketing numbers posted. Previously, they were still clamoring for you to respond. They have taken the marketing figures’ words as the truth and admitted to this matter. They keep saying that we are unscrupulous. If we don’t do something, it will be too late.”
Xiao Zhao thought for a while, and her eyes lit up. “Sister Shan, should we contact those marketing multitudes as well? Isn’t it just paying them off? We can do that too! Send a reply and send a lawyer’s letter to warn them!”
Ding Shan shook her head, “Silly Xiao Zhao, they will never be able to collect enough money. If we give them money, the other side might continue to increase the money and give them even more. Since they haven’t contacted us, the other side’s conditions are perfect, and it won’t be easy for us to bribe them. Why waste that money?”
Xiao Zhao lowered her head dejectedly and was puzzled. “That’s not right, Sister Shan. Didn’t Ding Wan and the others get caught and sent to the detention center? How can they still contact those marketing people? Where did they get so much money?”
Ding Shan curled her lips. “It’s Yang Hua. Only she has this photo, and only she has some money. She can still contact so many media outlets and marketing companies.”
