After Ji Jun wiped his hair twice with a towel, he threw the towel aside and picked up the high-level Rubik’s Cube on the table.
Lin Zi’s ominous feeling really came true.
Ji Jun narrowed his eyes and glanced at the screen. After realizing that he really could not see the comments that quickly flashed across it, he gave up and looked away. “I don’t know what to do in today’s live-stream. I’ll show everyone how I challenge myself to restore this four-axis dodecahedron Rubik’s Cube in three minutes.”
He picked up his cell phone and opened the stopwatch interface. Then, he lowered his head slightly and began to spin the Cube in his hand nimbly without saying a word.
It was obvious that the people in front of the screen did not expect him to do this. They were a little stunned. Seeing that he was really engrossed in the Cube and did not look up at the camera no matter how the comments called out, some people realized belatedly: Yes, It’s the Ji Jun who does things his own way.
However, it was obvious that some people did not think so. They felt that since he was already on a live-stream, he had to interact well with the audience. What was the point of lowering his head and playing with the Cube alone when the camera was on?
Hence, some of the comments started to develop in a bad direction. When Lin Zi, who was outside the screen, saw this, he jumped up anxiously. He could not help but crouch behind the camera and shout at Ji Jun angrily, “Don’t just lower your head and play. Hurry up and say something!”
However, Lin Zi had clearly underestimated the microphone’s recording effect. He thought that he was very soft, but little did he know that every word he said was clearly recorded by the microphone. Everyone in the live-stream heard it clearly.
Ji Jun finally looked up at the camera, but everyone knew that he was actually looking at the manager behind the camera. “Say what?”
Lin Zi did not know that he had been exposed. He still replied in a low voice, “You can say anything. If you don’t want to talk, you can pull down your bathrobe.”
The live-stream was in an uproar again.
On the other hand, Zheng Xing did not pay much attention to the public opinion online after posting the video. After all, as a veteran paparazzo who had exposed the news, he knew very well how to stimulate the netizens’ excitement. Hence, he had already guessed the netizens’ reaction close to the mark before uploading the video.
For a paparazzo like him, it was normal for him to be scolded, so it was not scary to be scolded. Instead, he should be worried if he posted the news and was barely scolded. Anyway, with this news, it could attract a wave of ridicule and bring a wave of popularity. He had completed more than half of the KPI for the past half a month and could relax a little.
Hence, after posting the video, he brought one of his underlings from the studio to have supper together. It was not until past midnight that he returned home after eating and drinking his fill. He lay on the sofa and turned on his cell phone.
He first flipped through the trend of public opinion and realized that it was similar to his guess. He pursed his lips and was not interested in flipping through it anymore. Instead, he opened his private messages and email.
Small studios like theirs only had a few entertainment reporters who focused on running the news, so there was actually no way for them to follow so much news. This required them to use some channels to gather information first.
For example, the news that they had filmed half a year ago about a male celebrity having an affair with the first female lead he was working with, was provided to them by an extra in the film studio. It was said that the two of them were seen staying in the nanny van for hours once on set. Even their assistants were guarding outside the car, so it was very likely that the two of them were having an affair.
After Zheng Xing received the tip, he focused on sending people to follow the male celebrity. Finally, a month later, they secretly took photos of the two of them being intimate without drawing the curtains.
As Zheng Xing was quite generous when buying informants, many people would secretly send private messages to sell informants to him. However, the netizens would have to distinguish between real and fake ones. It was also because of this that Zheng Xing had the habit of reading private messages every night and sorting out useful information.
At this moment, a special private message attracted his attention. The other party said that he was Qin Gang, Yu Han’s uncle. After he went to look for Yu Han today, he got into a car accident on the way back, causing his legs to be paralyzed. He was now in the hospital.
He had just seen the news on the trending searches and realized that Zheng Xing was such a powerful person. Hence, he wanted to ask him for help to see if he could contact Yu Han.
At first, Zheng Xing did not think much of it when he saw the beginning. However, when he saw Qin Gang say that his legs were broken in a car accident, he jumped up from the sofa.
