Chapter 311: Too Free

[Huh? Isn’t their team quite rich? They even bought a boat for the fishermen on the variety show.]
[I’m dying of laughter. You have the money to buy a boat, but you don’t have the money to donate?]
[Maybe them buying a boat is also fake! They specially rented a new boat for dramatic effect and returned it after the broadcast? Not only did this operation establish their persona, but it also earned them popularity…]
Out of curiosity, many netizens moved to Weibo to follow the fund-raising event launched by Weibo’s public welfare account.
When netizens saw celebrities donating and showing their donation certificates, other than praise, there were also many comments in the comments section calling out those public figures who had yet to make a move to do so.
The guests who had participated in the first season of “Brothers and Sisters Advance and Retreat”, perhaps feeling too embarrassed to ignore the trending post on Weibo after seeing it, more or less donated some money and received unanimous praise from netizens.
With the participation of the guests from the previous season, some keyboard warriors’ discussions about Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen not donating became even more intense.
Soon, the donation headline was trending on the Internet. There were even anti-fans and marketing accounts who took the opportunity to slander Meng
Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen.
At this moment, Meng Chuyuan’s family was happily eating lunch.
When Lu Jinsen’s manager saw the trending topic, he called him. “Have you seen today’s trending topic?”
“I didn’t.” Lu Jinsen asked calmly, “What happened?”
Ever since Lu Jinsen started bickering with the netizens, his popularity gradually decreased and he began to walk the notorious route. His Weibo was handed over to the team to manage. Only when there were special circumstances or when he needed to appear personally would Lu Jinsen log into his Weibo.
Hearing this, the manager sighed softly and said indifferently, “Did you participate in the donation? If you didn’t, shall we donate in the name of your studio?”
At the mention of donations, Lu Jinsen frowned. His expression was slightly serious. “Which donation are you talking about? I donated a sum not long ago.”
Lu Jinsen did not deliberately avoid the call. He answered it in the dining room.
Just by listening to Lu Jinsen’s speech, others could roughly guess the content of their conversation.
“It’s about the variety show you participated in. Have you donated?” Now, the entire Internet was shouting for the uncle and sister-in-law to come out and say something. As Lu Jinsen’s manager, naturally she should come out and solve this problem.
It was not easy for Lu Jinsen’s situation to have improved slightly. Moreover, they had resources in their hands now. If this matter was not handled well, it could affect his subsequent work.
Lu Jinsen replied softly, “I did.”
“You donated?” The manager was a little surprised, and her voice had become higher in pitch. “Then why didn’t you send out the screenshot of the donation and the electronic certificate? Now, the Internet is saying that you didn’t donate. The trending topics have exploded.”
If this was in the past, Lu Jinsen would not have had enough influence to be trending on the Internet. However, he had Meng Chuyuan by his side now. With the popularity of the two of them combined, they dominated the rankings.
“What’s there to post?” Lu Jinsen had participated in many public welfare activities before, but he had never posted his donation information.
“It’s different this time, little brother.” The manager saw how nonchalant he was and hurriedly explained to him, “You’re a guest on this variety show. To put it bluntly, this donation event is more or less related to you. If you don’t show anything, how are you going to explain it to millions of viewers?” ‘ Lu Jinsen fell silent.
The manager: “Remember to post on Weibo later to clarify yourself. If you don’t post it, I won’t know how to report to the higher-ups.”
Because of this call, everyone tacitly stopped talking and their gazes slowly landed on Lu Jinsen.
Lin Youjuan glanced at him and asked softly, “What happened?”
Lu Jinsen: “The netizens said that we didn’t donate money. Now, my manager is asking me to send a screenshot of the donation to them.”
After hanging up the call with his manager, Lu Jinsen screenshotted the transfer records and logged into Weibo, preparing to post his donation records.
Lu Qianling put down the chopsticks in her hand and was seriously scrolling through Weibo. When she saw the headlines on the trending searches, she couldn’t help but complain, “These netizens must be too free and have nothing better to do. How can they make such a small thing a trending topic?!”
Lu Jinsen followed his manager’s instructions and posted on Weibo. When he looked up, his gaze suddenly turned to Meng Chuyuan and he reminded her, “Do you want to post yours too? This matter is being discussed a little fiercely online. We should be able to shut them up after we post this.”
He was worried that after he posted on Weibo, public opinion would directly target Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows slightly and said unhurriedly, “Are you sure that you’ll be able to shut them up after posting this?”
Lu Qianling’s phone screen stopped on the Weibo post that Lu Jinsen had just posted. She opened the comments section and watched the netizens’ real-time comments.. She chuckled and said teasingly, “According to my many years of surfing experience, the new trending topic is about to arrive…”
