216: Learn about the problem
Facing Su Yue's curious questions, Xia Ruoyun also let go of the reservations in her heart.
"I'll just tell you directly. You usually don't know much about things in the entertainment industry and don't really watch entertainment news, so you definitely don't know much about this matter."
Indeed, Su Yue rarely had time to pay attention to information about the entertainment industry, but he knew that Xia Ruoyun seemed to have landed some major work recently.
Logically speaking, this should be something to be happy about, so he asked curiously.
"For celebrities, such a large production is like a major transformation. Shouldn't you be happy when you have such an opportunity?"
As soon as she mentioned this, Xia Ruoyun felt extremely distressed. "It's not that I'm in trouble myself; my own matters are quite smooth, there's nothing strange."
She hesitated a little here, "Anyway, my best friend seems a bit off. I've been seeing her less and less lately."
Hearing this, Su Yue felt that this matter might not be simple and also sensed that her best friend's situation was quite unusual, wanting to investigate it thoroughly.
"Then you have to tell me the truth. If you don't tell me everything, I can't help you solve it."
But what Xia Ruoyun said today hadn't been approved by her best friend, yet thinking that it was for the other person's good, she didn't want to hesitate any longer.
"I'm only telling you about this matter; you must keep it a secret for me and absolutely cannot reveal any information."
"Actually, my best friend is a member of a high-level girl group. She's actually quite famous and is very popular in society."
Hearing this, Su Yue furrowed his brows tightly and put the chopsticks in his hand back on the table.
"Then your best friend's identity is still on the big screen, so she must be the focus of attention when she walks outside, right?"
Xia Ruoyun nodded slightly, but her best friend's career should be booming, yet she had been doing some unbelievable things recently.
"I don't know why, she keeps doing some embarrassing things, for example, she has a very bad temper, hits people on the spot, and is filmed by the media and posted online."
"You also know that in the entertainment industry, this kind of gossip can bring someone down anytime, anywhere."
Many fans don't support these behaviors; they believe their idol can be not famous, but they cannot gain fame in such a way.
Then, Su Yue continued to ask, "What else is wrong with your best friend? I guess it's definitely not just these things."
"So what exactly did she post on social media before? Can you tell me in detail?"
Then, Xia Ruoyun started talking about her best friend's social media, her face slightly red, clearly finding it hard to speak.
"I don't know what's going on, but lately she's always wearing very revealing clothes and posting photos online."
Some fans like this kind of thing, but some fans can't accept it.
They feel that their idol suddenly acting this way is like a slap in their face.
As fans, they can unconditionally support their idol, but now she's actually posting such revealing photos to please the capitalists.
Some fans even started leaving comments below: "What's going on lately? Could it be that she's been drugged?"
"Why can't she see clearly? This method won't win the favor of capital; instead, it will make her lose many endorsements."
After all, she is a member of a high-level girl group, attracting attention wherever she goes, and with her sweet appearance, she also has many fans.
But these recent events, either hitting people or dressing revealingly, are temporarily unacceptable to fans.
Some fan site administrators have even started unfollowing: "I can't continue to stand by her side; this behavior makes me despise her."
When Su Yue roughly guessed what was happening, Xia Ruoyun's best friend must have encountered something.
Maybe it's an insurmountable obstacle, or maybe she's desperately short of money. In short, someone must be adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes to make her do such things.
He asked doubtfully, "Haven't you tried to communicate with your best friend? What was her personality like before?"
As soon as she mentioned this, Xia Ruoyun's face was full of worry. "She has always been the image of a good girl, and I don't know why she suddenly became like this."
"I've been spending more time on this big production lately, so I've had very little time to get involved in these matters."
"Besides, I don't have time to put all my energy into my best friend. It was only after my assistant told me that I immediately took this matter seriously."
Then, Xia Ruoyun even suddenly remembered something and brought up the main point of the matter.
"I recently learned about a big shot. The person is very powerful and seems to know a lot of information. I'm debating whether or not to ask him for help."
Saying this, Xia Ruoyun reached out her hand and propped up her chin.
"I also really want to help my best friend, but you know the situation in the entertainment industry. I can't truly step forward and speak for her, otherwise, many people will curse me."
After all, her best friend doing such things is indeed somewhat incomprehensible. This situation is also sudden and not something others can control.
And Su Yue, being the Boss, naturally knew that the person the other party was talking about was himself.
However, he wasn't surprised at all. Pretending to be unaware, he gave her some advice.
"Since you already have this connection, why not go to the other party to explore the truth of the matter? Maybe you'll get what you want then."
Then, as he spoke, he gently tapped the table and expressed the thoughts in his heart.
"If you really want to help your best friend, then you'll have to put in some effort. After all, this information requires a certain amount of money to obtain."
But Xia Ruoyun didn't feel scared at all. Since she chose to stand by her best friend's side, she was prepared for anything.
"When I learned about this connection, I knew that the person behind it was definitely not simple, but I still chose to seek the truth."
After saying this, Su Yue leaned back in his chair and thought for a long time. He also knew that the entertainment industry was chaotic, and when something like this happened, someone really needed to investigate.
The two of them hit it off and clarified the matter.
Xia Ruoyun had been suppressing this in her heart for so long, and today she finally managed to say it.
"I didn't have many friends in the entertainment industry before; those people only show you their face but not their heart. I'm very grateful that you came out to eat this meal with me today."
And Su Yue's lips curved slightly upward, and he smiled faintly. He also called the waiter over and paid the bill.
"It was clearly me who invited you out for dinner, so naturally, I should fulfill my host duties."
"As for the truth of this matter, just follow what you have in mind and investigate. Maybe the truth will soon appear before your eyes."
And at this moment, the other party's best friend, Kelinan, was conducting a live broadcast.
But she liked this state very much, believing that her current feeling was love for her profession.
During the live broadcast, she also answered the questions raised by her fans one by one.
"You don't know why I've become like this, and you don't know how much effort I've put in in the entertainment industry."
"Your attacks now are equivalent to making all my efforts go to waste. Don't you feel guilty?"
No matter which celebrity it is, they would never directly question their fans or the public face-to-face.
This made the fans below very awkward, not knowing what to do. Her saying such words also made them feel very surprised.
"This is unbelievable. How did the idol I liked before suddenly become like this?"
"I've been following Kelinan for so long. I thought she was different from others, but I never expected that she would eventually be corrupted by the entertainment industry."
Anyway, there were all sorts of comments in the live stream room, most of them from fans who didn't understand what was happening and came in to question her.
"We've spent so much money on you. Is it because of what you've done today that all our previous efforts have gone to waste?"
But Kelinan felt that everything she had now was all because of her own efforts and had nothing to do with others.
"You are my fans, and I am very grateful. You have supported me for so long, and I have given you many benefits."
"But don't worry, continue to be my fans, and there will be more benefits in the future. You can leave comments below my official account about what you want to see, and I will see them all."
But what the fans wanted to see now was not this alluring appearance at all; they wanted her to return to her previous image as a good girl.
"Do you know that your biggest fan site administrator has already unfollowed? Are you still going to be so willful?"
"Do you know how much effort your fan site administrator has put in for you? Are you being fair to her by showing off like this to fans in the live stream room now?"
Everyone also knows how much effort goes into being a fan site administrator, but now, because of their idol's willful decision, all their efforts have gone to waste.
Some fans also went to that fan site administrator's Weibo and found that the other party had hidden herself, which was equivalent to deleting her account.
"Don't you see? Your fan site administrator must be very sad. Kelinan, wake up quickly and don't be corrupted by the power of capital."
"The more you act like this, the less likely capital is to give you any opportunities. You need to rise from desperation to have a chance."
But Kelinan saw these comments cursing and complaining about her and liked them very much.
"I've always been the image of a good girl before, and this is engraved in your hearts. You've completely forgotten that I also have my own hobbies, right?"
"I can't become whatever you like me to be. Now that I'm famous, I don't need you to point fingers at me anymore."
And some fans below started to worry about her mental state, asking if she was being threatened.
"Why did you suddenly make such a decision? Even if you don't want to maintain your previous image, I want to know what your persona will be like next?"
There were more and more people in the live stream room; some were there to watch the show, and some were there to seek the truth.
And Kelinan calmly brought out everything she was thinking.
"You also saw the incident where I hit someone in public, which spread like wildfire. I just want to be an unreasonable person; I'm originally this kind of personality!"
She still had a defiant look when she spoke, and the fans below had already collapsed.
They never expected that the idol they had doted on for so long would end up like this.
Some people started expressing their guesses below: "Do you think she might not be supported by the power of capital, but perhaps she's being threatened by someone?"
Those accomplished big stars have always relied on their own efforts. As long as they are famous enough, the power of capital will come uninvited.
Perhaps Kelinan knows these things better than others. Furthermore, she is currently a member of a girl group, and at the peak of her popularity, she chose to fall from grace at this time.
If this matter truly happens, the biggest beneficiaries will be the other members of the girl group.
Maybe they had already given up, but now they have a new opportunity again, and everyone must be eager to make a move.
At this moment, among the people discussing in the live stream room, many noticed that there were some scars on the other party's face.
"What's going on? It's clearly covered with foundation, but the scar is still visible."
More and more fans were questioning in the comment section. Who knew that after seeing these, Kelinan only responded briefly.
"You must have seen it wrong. How could there be scars on my face? I'm making money with this face."
As she spoke, she directly closed the live broadcast. This sudden change made the fans below even more anxious.
They all discussed what they saw on various platforms: "There is indeed a scar on her face. I guess someone is definitely threatening her behind the scenes."
Some fans began to investigate the places Kelinan had been recently.
And they found some of the most favorable evidence, but they couldn't release it yet.
After all, this concerns Kelinan's privacy. If they said it directly, it would truly push her to rock bottom.
Some fans even created a group specifically to clarify the matter. They discussed and looked through all of Kelinan's recent videos.
Soon, they found some questionable points because Kelinan's eyes gradually became hazy and fearful.
