Chapter 161 -161 The Empress Finally Gains Followers
Fortunately, the whole incident was orchestrated by Jiang Ming, and she was just passively proposed to, so the impact on her was not significant.
As long as she lays low for a while, this matter will gradually fade away.
By then, she can break up with Jiang Ming and hold a few concerts. Her reputation will be salvaged.
With this thought, Lin Siqian’s complexion improved somewhat.
“Jiang Ming, don’t blame me. In tough times, ’tis the instinct of birds to fly away from each other.”
“You are already done for, I can only save myself.”
On Weibo, the uproar continued, and the video of Xia Weibao instantly taking down Jiang Ming saw its download numbers skyrocket.
Her following on Weibo was also increasing rapidly.
It has now reached a hundred thousand followers.
Although for a star, a hundred thousand fans are not many.
But for the notoriously scandalous Xia Weibao, it was already quite impressive.
By the afternoon, it had risen to a hundred and fifty thousand.
Seeing this, Xu Jiayang once again showed a smile like that of a mother hen.
“I knew Xia Weibao could make a comeback,” he said.
Sitting across from him, Leng Yan looked over dispassionately. “It’s just a hundred and fifty thousand fans, what’s there to be happy about?”
Xia Weibao’s reputation was really too tarnished; whitewashing it would hardly be easy.
And her career had indeed fluctuated dramatically.
With “Dance into the Future,” she had certainly attracted a considerable fan base, but after the mistress scandal broke, she was immediately brought back down to her original status.
Now she had amassed another wave of fans, but who knew if she would be back in the hot seat again.
This issue had also caught Xu Jiayang’s attention.
Xia Weibao really seemed to be a magnet for trouble.
He had never seen any other female stars in the entertainment industry generate scandals as if it was all just child’s play, the same as her fluctuations in gaining followers.
It was all a series of ups and downs.
However, this also seemed to match her style; carefree, doing as she pleased.
As long as she had a smartphone and a bag of snacks, she really didn’t care about anything else, nor about what others thought of her.
When she was happy, she’d attract a wave of fans; when not, she didn’t mind whatever others said about her.
It all seemed to leave her unfazed.
“Her momentum is strong now; we must give her another boost to turn the tables,” Xu Jiayang said, falling into thought.
The current situation was very favorable for Xia Weibao.
If she could create another surprise, she would definitely make a splash!
Only, it was a bit difficult.
She danced well, but her last performance was already stunning, and even if she danced again now, it wouldn’t have the same shock factor.
Acting was a good selling point, except that “Allure” wasn’t finished filming yet.
Before the release of “Allure,” she had to maintain her popularity to drive the momentum.
Xu Jiayang realized that he didn’t really understand Xia Weibao; he didn’t even know what her talents were.
So he decided to give her a call and ask.
Just as he dialed, he was blocked.
Xu Jiayang, “…”
What had he done wrong to be blocked?
It wasn’t until half an hour later that Xia Weibao’s call came through.
“Sorry, Director Xu, I accidentally blocked you just now. Is there something you needed?”
The trio munching on chicken next to her watched Xia Weibao talking on the phone while gnawing on chicken feet, speechless.
Accidentally blocking someone? She was clearly engrossed in her game just now, and Director Xu’s call had interrupted her.
To avoid being disturbed, she blocked him.
It was only after finishing a round that she released him from the blacklist and returned the call.
Xu Jiayang was speechless. An accidental block?
That was quite an excuse.
“Nothing much, I just wanted to ask, do you have any special skills?”
“My special skill?” Xia Weibao blinked, “Does playing games count?”
