Chapter 295: Chapter 239: Going with the Flow

Two minutes later.

Xinxin, who had just said her male cousin was giving birth, once again met her fans in [Xingchuan 001].

It wasn’t just Xinxin. The other three girls who had just been in the PK battle with her were there too, and even Yangyang and Shuyu Shuyue were among them.

All of them dropped into [Xingchuan 001] using their main accounts. Shuyu Shuyue, who previously had the fewest fans, now boasted a follower count of over three million. Meanwhile, Bingbing, who had started with over five million, had let the hype build for more than two months and was now closing in on eight million fans.

As soon as they dropped into [Xingchuan 001], they all acted with surprising coordination, immediately spamming Carnivals. They were clearly aiming for the top ten on the leaderboard, and all their gifts were designated for Lin Qingge.

This scene immediately made the stream even more lively.

"LMAO, so they’re not even pretending anymore, huh?"

"My dudes, they claimed they and [Prince Heng] are completely innocent, that they just drank and chatted that night. Do any of you actually believe that?"

"Waaaah, I believe it, I believe it! Bingbing wouldn’t lie to me!"

"Buddy, if you believe them, you might as well believe I’m Qin Shi Huang."

"So far, [Prince Heng]’s follow list still only has those seven. Don’t tell me it’s going to become eight after tonight?"

"What do you call this behavior? Aiding the enemy?"

"This is hilarious! I love watching a Chaotic Scene!"

...

Comments flooded in like a waterfall. The scandal about [Prince Heng] and the seven female influencers had caused a huge stir online a while back and was still circulating.

All sorts of speculations and theories abounded.

Although in the days that followed, all seven girls had clarified one after another that they had only drunk, chatted, played cards, and watched a game with [Prince Heng] that night. Nothing else had happened. Their relationship with [Prince Heng] was completely pure and innocent.

Of course, the vast majority of netizens didn’t believe them.

But whether the netizens believed them or not wasn’t important to the seven girls. For them, it was enough as long as the loyal fans willing to send them money believed.

What’s that saying again?

You can never wake someone who’s pretending to be asleep.

That was exactly how these girls’ die-hard fans were. As long as the girls said nothing happened that night and that their relationship with [Prince Heng] was innocent, these loyal fans would choose to believe them without question.

However, the girls’ behavior tonight made it all too clear that their relationship with [Prince Heng] was anything but ordinary. You could practically smell the jealousy through the screen.

...

「Xingchuan International Group, inside the large-scale broadcasting studio.」

"Holy shit!"

"Those seven female influencers from the scandal with [Prince Heng]—they all actually showed up!"

"And they still dare to claim they’re innocent with [Prince Heng]?"

"If they’re innocent with [Prince Heng], I’ll fucking live-stream myself eating a pound of it!"

The network technician, who had been worked to the bone, had finally gotten a moment of peace after Qingcheng Entertainment stopped their hacking and troll-spamming. Now, watching the scene unfold in the stream, he was absolutely beside himself with glee.

Because Gu Heng and the others were standing not far from the control desk, and the technician hadn’t bothered to lower his voice, they easily overheard him.

Hearing this, President Zhou Gang and Xingchuan Entertainment’s acting General Manager Feng Ming subconsciously glanced at Gu Heng, their expressions a little odd.

"Ahem!"

"Zhao Huai, we’re live!"

"Watch what you say! Be serious!"

Feng Ming coughed lightly, first chiding the technician before turning to Gu Heng with an apologetic smile. "Chairman Gu, he’s just spouting nonsense. Please don’t mind him."

"It’s fine."

"He wasn’t wrong about anything."

Gu Heng chuckled, his voice still gentle.

’He wasn’t wrong?’

At his words, Zhou Gang and Feng Ming exchanged a look, suddenly feeling like they’d stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

"Ahem..."

Just then, another light cough sounded next to Feng Ming’s ear.

Feng Ming turned his head to see Chu Zhengxiong staring at him, his eyes filled with an inquisitive and searching gaze. Clearly, seeing this scene and overhearing the conversation with Gu Heng had piqued his curiosity.

"Chairman Chu, it’s like this..."

Gossiping about Gu Heng right in front of him was certainly thrilling, but with Chairman Chu being the one asking, Feng Ming had no way to refuse.

Soon, through Feng Ming’s brief and concise explanation, Chu Zhengxiong got the gist of the situation. Afterward, his gaze toward Gu Heng couldn’t help but turn a little peculiar.

"Ah..."

"It’s great to be young!"

Chu Zhengxiong couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

"Chairman Chu, I didn’t realize you were such a gossip."

Gu Heng shook his head with a smile.

"Just simple curiosity."

Chu Zhengxiong chuckled in response. "Chairman Gu is not only young and successful, but also tall and handsome. It’s only normal for him to have such good luck with the ladies. To be noticed by Chairman Gu is their good fortune."

"Fleeting encounters, nothing more."

While they were speaking, the number of [Descent of the King] gifts Gu Heng had sent in the stream quietly surpassed 99+.

Seeing this, Gu Heng stopped and didn’t continue.

"Chairman Chu, the real-time viewer count is 140,000."

Gu Heng asked Chu Zhengxiong, "Are you satisfied with this number?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied!"

"I’m so satisfied, I wouldn’t have dared to dream of such numbers!"

Chu Zhengxiong nodded repeatedly, then added, "Chairman Gu, about the money for the gifts you just sent, I’ll transfer it to you later. We absolutely can’t let you pay for that out of your own pocket!"
