Chapter 007 A Joyful Accidental Hand Slip
Chapter 007 A Joyful Accidental Hand Slip
After a day of recording, Tao Cheng felt like she had been pulled out of the water, exhausted but refreshed.
The song "Flammable and Explosive" has a powerful aftereffect.
Back at the apartment, Tao Cheng took a bath and then applied a face mask.
For celebrities, especially female celebrities, their faces are their everything, and they must take good care of them.
"The fact that the recording went so smoothly today is really thanks to that article by my junior."
Tao Cheng couldn't help but chuckle as she recalled the sudden spike in her blood pressure when she saw Bowen's post in the recording studio.
With nothing else to do, Tao Cheng habitually took out her phone and opened Weibo.
As a rising female singer, her Weibo account is usually managed by Sister Hong and her team.
If she wants to gossip or read some juicy gossip, she will switch to another unverified account to let loose.
"Go check out our great hero's Weibo account."
Tao Cheng skillfully typed the three characters "Yang Dudu" into the search box and clicked search.
Soon, the image of a white ram with a feather fan and a turban jumped out.
Her latest Weibo post is none other than the masterpiece that helped her find her footing in the recording studio.
Seeing this grotesque headline again, Tao Cheng couldn't help but twitch her eye.
The headline is so catchy. The fact that UC's Shocking News Department didn't invite a junior to be the editor-in-chief is a huge loss to the Chinese entertainment media industry.
"That's really infuriating. I don't know how this junior's brain works. Did he actually get the inspiration from 'Flammable and Explosive'?"
"Could it be that I misunderstood my junior before? Was he under a lot of pressure, or could writing this kind of thing inspire each other?"
"Anyway, I'm so grateful for this hilarious little essay today, I'll give you a thumbs up!"
Tao Cheng lightly tapped the hollow thumb icon.
The icon instantly turned red.
Like successfully!
"Perfect!"
Tao Cheng put down her phone contentedly, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the quiet time of applying a face mask.
The years are quiet.

Liked 3 minutes later.
At the headquarters of Jinshi Music, on the thirteenth floor, the public relations department was still brightly lit.
Lin Xiang, the public relations staff member on duty, was holding a cup of extra-strong iced Americano, preparing to get through this quiet night.
For public relations professionals in the entertainment industry, the best nights are those without news.
Suddenly, the alarm system on the desktop, which was specifically used to monitor public opinion about the artists under its management, emitted a piercing beeping sound.
The screen is flashing an orange-yellow light; alert level: medium!
"Holy crap, which guy or girl has gotten into trouble this time?"
Lin Xiang almost spat his coffee onto the screen and quickly clicked to see the details.
Artist: Tao Cheng
Incident: Liking unusual Weibo content.
"Like? Or did you accidentally click it?"
Lin Xiang's anxiety eased a little. It's common for celebrities to accidentally like posts in the entertainment industry. As long as it's not something politically or sexually explicit, they usually just issue a statement or brush it off.
However, when he clicked on the Weibo link that Tao Cheng had liked, Lin Xiang's eyes widened.
"I changed myself for love, from a career woman to the perfect wife, but he was having an affair: She's not as good as you, but she helped me regain my dignity as a husband!"
"Pfft...cough cough cough!" Lin Xiang really spat out his coffee this time.
What the hell is this thing?
Articles about family ethics and emotions?
Most importantly, this account, Yang Dudu, has no certification whatsoever and only has a little over 300 followers.
Add to that this inexplicable article...
This is completely out of character for Tao Cheng, and it's hard not to have something to say about it!
What's even more problematic is that these sensitive terms, such as "strong woman," "gold digger," "cheating," and "mistress," are no different from a powder keg in today's online environment.
"Something's happened! Something's happened!"
Lin Xiang quickly clicked the mouse to send the incident to the work group, and at the same time grabbed his phone to contact his supervisor.
……
Meanwhile, the jubilation among onlookers has already begun.
On Weibo, all the die-hard fans who had set Tao Cheng as a special follower received a system notification at the same time.
"Your follower @是陶橙呀 liked this Weibo post!"
"Orange, you're still surfing the internet so late. Let me see what you're doing?"
A few seconds later.
All fans: ? ? ?
What is this?
Who am I? Where am I? What are the female celebrities I follow watching?
After a brief moment of confusion, Tao Cheng's super topic and various fan groups instantly exploded.
The group messages were scrolling at a crazy rate of 99+ per second.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Did you guys see Orange's like? What the hell is that?!]
[I saw it... and I'm questioning my existence. This overwhelmingly sentimental tone is blinding.]
Sister, who is this gigolo?
[Drawing a sword.jpg]
[Sister, wake up! You're a female celebrity, not a neighborhood committee auntie!]
Fans frantically took screenshots while displaying detective skills comparable to Conan, generating a plethora of conspiracy theories and imaginative scenarios.
In the comment section of Weibo, which has already been overrun, the style is both silly and humorously serious.
Top-voted comment: [There's no such thing as a random slip of the hand in the entertainment industry! Everyone knows that big accounts always have a hidden story behind their likes, and Orange is definitely implying something about someone! Those in the know, come quick, don't sleep tonight!]
"It can't be Chen Jia, can it? I counted, her age is just right, and she's Chengzi's friend."
—"The biggest scandal of the year, absolutely explosive!"
The second most upvoted comment: "The strong woman in this story... could she be one of Orange's best friends? Is she some powerful, secretly married woman in the industry who got cheated on by her gigolo husband? Is Orange standing up for her friend?"
"—It could also be her, right? Has Orange started dating recently?"
"Bullshit! Our Orange's schedule is always transparent, where would she find the time to date? It must be something between one of her friends."
……
Eight minutes after the likes were posted, marketing accounts started to join in.
Compared to fans who care about their idols' image, these marketing accounts that have been lurking on Weibo for years know that traffic equals money. They immediately take screenshots, forward them, and add all sorts of exaggerated captions, leaving no stone unturned.
Shocking! Rising female singer Tao Cheng indulges in late-night gossip, liking a melodramatic love triangle, seemingly subtly criticizing a secretly married male celebrity.
Was it a slip of the hand or a deliberate gesture? The secrets behind Tao Cheng's "like"
"Scumbag husband cheats? Mistress takes over? Tao Cheng tears into the other woman online."
Countless unsuspecting netizens were drawn in by the headline and flocked to the Weibo account of Yang Dudu, which originally had only 300 followers, to frantically follow the gossip.
At the same time, Tao Cheng was humming a tune while applying a face mask in her apartment.
Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table started vibrating wildly.
Caller ID: Zhang Hongjie
Tao Cheng answered the phone lazily: "Sister Hong..."
"What account? Which one? It's the one I usually use for gossiping..."
"No way..."
Tao Cheng's heart skipped a beat. She ripped off the face mask and frantically opened the backend, glancing at the Weibo interface.
There, a bright gold "V" logo was prominently displayed.
Tao Cheng's pupils dilated instantly, her breathing became rapid, her blood rushed backward, and then a sharp, explosive sound rang out:
"Aaaaaaahh ...
……
At the same time, Jingyin and Yangdu received a call from Sister Hong.
"Yang Du, this is urgent, so I'll get straight to the point... Here's the thing, I've sent you the meeting link on WeChat, go online right away."
