Chapter 656: The CP Name I Thought Up While Staying Up All Night

Charging is useful!

Just like in idol dramas, when the female lead is "out of power," hugging the male lead instantly recharges her—the effect is as if it works instantly!

The evil little kitty can prove it: idol dramas do have some "scientific basis"~

At least after "recharging," she felt her mood greatly eased, no longer so much a bitter widow.

But thinking that Meng Jie could recharge with a real person, while she could only use electric means, still felt deeply unfair.

Of course, she wasn't unreasonable—after all, Meng Jie had been savagely online-bullied, so she truly needed a real person under these circumstances.

Thinking of this, the evil little kitty couldn't help but let her mind wander—hey, if she herself were also online-bullied like this, would the fox guy come to give her a proper recharge and offer tender comfort too?

Fortunately, this dangerous thought vanished in an instant, but the evil little kitty now felt her current state was somewhat dangerous. How many days had passed since she risked her career by pulling the curtain? When she did it, she was clearly in a heady state—what normal person would pull such a risky stunt?

The evil little kitty was now in a Schrödinger's regret state.

She thought what she'd done was stupid and impulsive, yet she secretly harbored a faint hope—especially since Meng Jie had set such a perfect example.

Hmm. Meng Jie really was a good sister—the evil little kitty could recharge for an entire hour remotely, all thanks to the other's beauty and kindness for not hanging up.

She had already feasted herself, yet still remembered to share some broth with her good sister.

However, the next morning, Meng Jie stared at her nearly one-hour call log with her good friend, utterly baffled.

Didn't she just hang up and toss the phone aside last night? Was it not hung up?

But she didn't dwell on it—she had no time to be embarrassed; her little hedgehog was leaving.

He came and went in a flash—Bai Liang had taken a day off from the set to fly over. Once she understood the value of this move, how could Meng Jie possibly care about that forgotten unanswered call?

Before Bai Liang even spoke, she was already overwhelmed with emotion—big eyes shedding tiny pearls, moisture evaporating rapidly.

When the moisture evaporated, the bad mood was swept away~

Same principle as last night, just slightly different method.

But the in-and-out didn't really matter anyway.

In short, Meng Jie declared: she wasn't afraid of anything anymore! What's a little online bullying? This show won't air forever—everything will pass.

Yes, everything will pass.

In the entertainment circle, few things keep people constantly talking—or frequently mentioning—unless you're Chicken Brother.

But the way Meng Jie's situation "passed" was quite different from the usual.

The show was still airing, the online bullying still ongoing, yet her public perception had begun to shift.

"Wait. I feel like she doesn't really seem like that scheming, green-tea bitch. Weird! Let me watch again!"

"Is she always this fast-talking? I've screamed repeatedly because of her idiotic remarks—is she always this bold?"

"There's this weird sense of blind confidence. Is she faking being smart? Is this her character on the show?"

"This woman's acting is truly terrible. Is she deliberately provoking people?"

"Instant truth: verified as ultra-extreme insensitivity, pretending to be clever—Meng Jie is truly a marvel. No wonder she said that to Bai Bai Daxian—insane!"

"I've seen plenty in entertainment who pretend to be wise while knowing full well—but this one pretending to be clueless while actually being clever? Rare indeed!"

"Does she really think we can't see through this?"

"."

There were indeed plenty of "smart people" online—of course, these claims originally came from those who loved to play "everyone's drunk but I'm sober."

But Meng Jie's team wasn't dead—they had to act after such intense online bullying.

At first, they had no idea how to proceed, since the words had come directly from Meng Jie herself.

But once the "well-meaning netizen" offered such a clever "whitewashing" strategy, anyone on the team who wasn't blind or stupid could instantly see its feasibility!

Even a dead horse can be treated as if alive—why not try? It won't make you pregnant!

Thus, through joint efforts, this line of thinking gained increasing traction—and Meng Jie's reputation actually began to improve!

Her team naturally seized the momentum—pushing the "dumb beauty" persona hard, contacting marketing accounts, buying trending topics.

Meng Jie: Huh? Can you even do this?

She hadn't even recovered yet, and was still unclear about her current situation.

After all, many still criticized her—but those who praised her? There weren't many either.

Because Meng Jie didn't like being called "pretending to be clueless while actually clever" or "faking intelligence"—she truly believed she was smart!

So this wasn't praise—it was slander!

But calling her cute? That was fine!

Of course, the most direct proof was in the numbers: her Weibo followers skyrocketed, silently speaking volumes.

She had barely five million followers before the online bullying—now, that number had surged past seven million, and kept rising!

Could a variety show really make her gain so many followers? And this show wasn't even over yet!

Had this ever happened before?

A quick check revealed: yes, yes. The most recent example? Her very familiar competitor—Gu Li Na Zha.

During a variety show's run, she gained over four million followers—still the record for most follower growth from a single-season variety show in the Chinese entertainment industry!

But when she saw the name Gu Li Na Zha appear, Meng Jie stopped researching—this name cursed her.

Couldn't even bear to look at it.

In short, Meng Jie felt she had truly gone viral.

So here's the question:

"Am I riding black traffic?" Meng Jie asked, worried.

She felt this wasn't good—it would hurt her future development.

Her team couldn't help but roll their eyes. "Normal black traffic? Not this strong."

"Huh?"

"Meng Jie, you eat everything."

Honestly, even the professional team players could barely hold it together—how the hell does this even work?!

First she ate up the black-and-red traffic, and before the scolding had even lasted long, she turned around and started eating up the positive persona traffic.

Everyone else turns a single track into a dead end on both sides, but with Meng Jie it becomes a double-headed all-you-can-eat!

It was originally a disastrous wave of negative public opinion; the team had even at one point considered having Meng Jie play dead for a while.

And then, just like that, she turned things around.

Her team is the most sensitive to this—ignoring those definitely watered-down numbers, their benchmark is the recent growth in Meng Jie's invitations and commercial deals!

Anything else might be fake, but real, solid money can't be faked!

After all, that has to be taxed~

"Meng Jie, I'm really going green with envy this time!"
