179 A Strange Private Message
On the weekend, Wang Heng and Ye Xun’s math tutoring continued.
Although she could already reach a score above the passing line, this below-average score naturally couldn’t satisfy Ye Xun. The necessity of math tutoring was naturally beyond doubt. And besides math, she didn’t need tutoring for Chinese and English at all, and comprehensive liberal arts mostly relied on memorizing and understanding by herself, so she basically didn’t need tutoring either. So every weekend, Ye Xun still looked for Wang Heng for tutoring, and he was the only tutor.
And after today’s class, Ye Xun suddenly brought up a topic that surprised Wang Heng.
“About Sister Little Le’s song, recently…” The girl held the pen in her hand, her tone obviously hesitant, “Are there some not-so-good comments?”
Wang Heng: “You know about this too?”
Ye Xun: “Of course, I’m her fan!”
Wang Heng thought for a moment and replied, “Actually, it’s really not a big problem. Because compared to the increasing number of plays in the past few days, those negative reviews are really nothing. Positive reviews are obviously more than negative reviews, and many negative reviews have people refuting them below.”
Of course, many of the replies refuting negative reviews were posted by Wang Heng himself using alt accounts. There was no need to tell Ye Xun or Pei Ningle about this.
Ye Xun didn’t give up on this topic, but continued, “But when I chatted with Sister Little Le yesterday, she said she was almost afraid to look at the song’s comment section!”
Wang Heng was a little surprised. “You guys even talk on the phone privately?”
Ye Xun: “Of course, I said I’m her fan, and now we are friends who chat often!”
Wang Heng secretly warned himself not to make the mistake of dogmatism based on experience in the future—in the first timeline, he remembered that although Pei Ningle and Ye Xun were not incompatible, their relationship was definitely not harmonious. At least, it was absolutely impossible for the two to talk on the phone and confide in each other.
But now, even Han Yixuan could advance and retreat with Pei Ningle. Adding Ye Xun to this complex circle of friends was naturally very normal. And if he still held on to the experience of the first timeline, there would definitely be problems in the future.
Just as Wang Heng was pondering secretly, a sheet of composition paper full of writing appeared in front of him.
Ye Xun handed over the paper and said with her head down, “I wrote an article and want you to take a look. If you think it’s okay too, I think maybe we can ask Yan Xingzhou to help post it.”
Wang Heng didn’t agree immediately, but read it first.
He had to admit that Ye Xun’s handwriting was quite elegant and beautiful, and her writing style was also orderly. On the basis of clear logic, she also faintly rendered the girl’s concern and worry.
This concern and worry were naturally for Pei Ningle.
【Sister Little Le is not signed to a company, and her manager is her own brother. Unlike those commercial singers, Sister Little Le really reads every comment, so how could the negative reviews these days have no impact on her? Some people even include dirty words in their comments, and NetEase Cloud Music’s banning process is always a step late.】
【Just like the other night, she saw several negative reviews and felt so bad she couldn’t eat, yet she still had to sing in a bar at night—she makes a living from this—and when she returned home dizzy at night, she didn’t know if it was because of exhaustion or hunger. Of course, there are not as many negative reviews as positive ones, and those particularly bad negative reviews are even fewer. But just one is enough to summon dark clouds in the heart.】
【In life, if someone scolds us to our face, we are often angry for a long time, and even feel uncomfortable thinking about it two months later. In life, we rarely use particularly ugly words to insult others, so why can we be unscrupulous on the internet?】
In Wang Heng’s view, these comments were a bit childish. However, when talking about Pei Ningle’s situation in the article, it was quite sincere, and basically all facts—except for the relationship between himself as a manager and Pei Ningle, which was open to discussion. If this article was posted, maybe it could bring another wave of positive rhythm?
Thinking about it carefully, since Pei Ningle was already using her real name, information like bar singing obviously didn’t need to be hidden.
After reading the article, Wang Heng looked up and stared at the girl in front of him.
At this moment, Ye Xun added, “I can also add contact information, if they don’t believe it…”
Wang Heng immediately shook his head. “Never add real personal information. Let me remind you, never overestimate the bottom line of the internet. Most people are normal, but it doesn’t mean you won’t encounter people with absolutely no bottom line. Don’t send your weaknesses to others.”
Ye Xun: “Is real information considered a weakness?”
Wang Heng nodded. “Of course, it’s too easy to be doxed and harassed.”
The girl imagined it and was also a little scared. “That’s true, it seems really dangerous…”
Wang Heng: “Anyway, your article is fine. I will send it to Yan Xingzhou exactly as it is and ask him to publish it. Of course, besides your original text, he can also add some things appropriately, and just say you are a double fan of Yansheng and Pei Ningle. This will be more effective.”
“Yansheng?” Ye Xun was obviously quite unfamiliar with this term. “Is it the name of Yan Xingzhou’s official account?”
Wang Heng nodded. “That’s right.”
“Then I’ll tell her now!” Ye Xun smiled, immediately picked up her phone, and dialed Pei Ningle’s number.
A moment later, the call connected.
Ye Xun: “Sister Little Le, we’ve arranged your second article too!”
Pei Ningle: “…What did you say?”
Ye Xun: “I wrote it. After posting it on that official account, it will definitely make everyone support you more!”
Pei Ningle: “Wait, wait, wait, does Wang Heng know about this?”
Ye Xun glanced at the boy opposite her and smiled. “Of course I’ll show it to Senior Wang Heng first and let him review it. Do you want to see how I wrote about you, Sister Little Le?”
Pei Ningle: “Show me quickly!”
**
After reading that article, although she felt a little ashamed, Pei Ningle still agreed. It was just that seeing others describe how fragile she was and how she persisted in her ideals, this feeling was still a little embarrassing.
Two days later, after Ye Xun’s article was published on Yan Xingzhou’s official account, and Yan Xingzhou was asked to add a long paragraph of comments, the messages from new viewers were indeed much more lenient.
The comments flaming her were indeed fewer, and those with dirty words disappeared completely.
Then on this day, clicking on her NetEase Cloud Music account, she saw a private message from a stranger.
【Hello, I consider myself your fan. I have something to say to you. Can we meet? Which city are you in? I can fly over directly. Oh right, besides talking, I can also provide you with some financial support. Do you think it’s okay?】
Looking at this private message, Pei Ningle fell into deep thought.
What does this ‘fan’ want to do?
The girl clicked on the other party’s account and saw that the personal information showed female, and looking at the playlist history, it seemed to be indeed female taste, and the kind of literary style… But after the fraud and kidnapping incidents, Pei Ningle today was certainly not that naive.
After thinking for a while, she dialed Wang Heng’s number.
