Chapter 406

The hotel manager apologized to Chen Mo repeatedly, too terrified to even lift his head.

Xu Xiaofeng was checking her phone at that moment and discovered that the internet was already in an uproar.

"Brother Mo, look at Weibo."

Xu Xiaofeng handed her phone to Chen Mo.

"No way, I thought *The Voice* was a fair competition. I didn't expect there to be 'hidden rules'?"

"I'm so disappointed in Chen Mo."

"If that's the case, then what about Taylor in the last season..."

"There are so many shady deals in competitions these days."

"I'd rather watch *Super Girl*; that's voted on by the audience for real. There's absolutely no way there are hidden rules there."

At this moment, Weibo was filled with netizens discussing this matter.

Chen Mo looked at the phone and suddenly smiled.

"Brother Mo?"

Xu Xiaofeng looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

She didn't understand how Chen Mo could still smile when something like this had happened.

"Weren't you worried the show lacked buzz? Isn't this buzz delivered right to our doorstep?"

Chen Mo said.

"Don't do anything tonight. Tomorrow at noon, issue a police report, along with the hotel surveillance footage and *The Voice*'s statement regarding that contestant's withdrawal."

Chen Mo said.

"But shouldn't the statement be released immediately? If we wait until tomorrow, won't it be a step too late?"

Xu Xiaofeng was puzzled.

"Don't worry, just do as I arranged."

Chen Mo smiled.

Since Chen Mo had arranged it this way, Xu Xiaofeng had no choice but to follow his instructions.

The hotel was also very cooperative with them.

After all, this counted as a major failure on the hotel's part.

Long Danni heard the news immediately.

"Hurry and publicize the news about *The Voice*'s shady dealings. Let the whole incident ferment even more!"

She hurriedly ordered her subordinates.

As long as *The Voice* was hit with a scandal, the popularity of *Super Girl* would rise.

This was a rare, golden opportunity!

That night, Weibo exploded.

Because too many people flooded onto Weibo to gossip, the servers crashed.

The Weibo technicians were stunned.

They had to work overtime through the night to perform emergency maintenance on the servers.

On one hand, this showed how big the incident had become; on the other, it was enough to show Chen Mo's influence.

The paparazzi had delivered a crushing blow.

They had directly snapped photos of the contestant throwing herself into Chen Mo's arms, which caused many fans who didn't believe the news to start wavering.

By the next day, support for *Super Girl* across the internet was massive.

In contrast, the news of the shady dealings at *The Voice* had a huge negative impact on the show.

The key was that no one from the Momo Company had addressed the matter or said a single word.

It stayed this way until noon.

The official *The Voice* production team suddenly threw out three pieces of evidence in a row.

Evidence that Chen Mo had called the police the previous night.

Evidence that *The Voice* had disqualified the contestant the previous night.

And the hotel's surveillance footage, along with evidence that the hotel had fired the security guard immediately.

Once the three pieces of evidence were thrown out, the netizens finally understood.

This wasn't Chen Mo using hidden rules on a contestant.

It was clearly the contestant trying to seduce Chen Mo and bringing trouble upon him.

"I knew Momo wouldn't do something like that!"

"Always believe in Momo!"

"Just think about what kind of female stars usually have rumors with Chen Mo; how could he possibly be interested in a minor contestant?"

"Momo is so miserable, being slandered by the whole internet last night."

"Support Momo, support *The Voice*!"

The online comments reversed, and Chen Mo's fans immediately posted statements supporting him.

The popularity of *The Voice* rose to a new height.

This time, it wasn't because of hidden rules, but because Chen Mo had been so pitifully wronged.

Just as the online chaos was at its peak, Chen Mo picked up his phone.

"*The Voice* is a stage I created for everyone with a dream. I know the importance of dreams to a person, and I absolutely respect everyone with talent. I promise that the stage of *The Voice* will be absolutely fair and open, and we will absolutely not engage in sensationalist show tactics."

He edited a Weibo post.

Not only did he express his stance, but he also took a jab at *Super Girl*'s sensationalism.

Once this Weibo post went out, even more netizens supported *The Voice* and Chen Mo!

The popularity of *The Voice* directly surpassed that of *Super Girl*.

At the same time, netizens began to have negative opinions about *Super Girl*.

"It's a perfectly good singing variety show, but they've turned it into a drama program."

"Can't you put some effort into making the show?"

"The good reputation from before has all been ruined."

"Look at *The Voice* next door; the stage quality is so high, and every contestant is very talented."

"At the very least, you should respect the audience."

Inside the hotel.

Xu Xiaofeng scrolled through the netizens' comments, her face beaming with joy.

"Oh my god, Brother Mo, our popularity really went up, completely surpassing *Super Girl*."

She couldn't help but exclaim.

This time, after the show started recording, the Momo Company hadn't even done large-scale viral marketing.

She hadn't expected that just a small catalyst would give the show such high popularity.

"Help me get Wang to start the promotion now."

Chen Mo said.

They hadn't done massive viral marketing before because the full episode hadn't been released yet, and the true show effects and highlights hadn't appeared.

So it wasn't the best time for large-scale promotion.

Now that there was an opportunity, Chen Mo certainly wouldn't miss it.

"Okay! I'm going right now!"

Xu Xiaofeng nodded and happily called Wang Jinghua.

The live viewership ratings for *The Voice* began to rise.

Conversely, the ratings for *Super Girl* began to fall.

Long Danni was extremely anxious in her office.

"If I had known, I would have done nothing last night and just watched the situation first."
