With just this incident, there were people using it to generate hate. It was as if a group of people had been waiting at the corners of the Internet for such an incident to happen.
The next day, news articles flooded the Internet.
“Wu Huan Yue is nothing without Master Lin’s songs.”
“It’s not true that Master Lin can do anything. He can only write Chinese songs.”
“Discussion: The importance of one man”
“Breaking news! You would not believe that Wu Huan’s Yue’s most important man is him…”
“If there’s no Master Lin, there’s no Wu Huan Yue.”
The netizens who woke up in the morning were stunned when they saw this news. To them, it seemed that some people were clearly looking for trouble.
Moreover, it felt as if those people were looking for trouble at the slightest opportunity. They were leaving no stone unturned.
“D*mn. What happened to this world? I just woke up and I’m seeing such news. Who exactly did Wu Huan Yue offend to get flamed like this?”
“Who knows? I’m puzzled now too. So what if Master Lin can’t write English songs? Why do people these days seem to think that knowing how to write English songs makes one superior?”
“How terrifying. Even in China, you get looked down on for not knowing English. That’s f*cking idiotic.”
The netizens starting commenting in a frenzy. They felt that this whole incident was f*cking stupid.
Right now, most people were already fans of Master Lin. After all, Master Lin was so amazing. He had accomplished so much and he had long been etched into the hearts of the people. Not knowing some stuff was perfectly normal.
And if you adored someone, you had to love the people around him as well. Hence, they really liked the people by Master Lin’s side.
They would support Wu Huan Yue’s every song, especially because they were all written by Master Lin.
And because of this, Wu Huan Yue’s Weibo had garnered a lot of attention. There were generally very few haters. Even if there were haters, they would get flamed by the rest of the netizens.
This situation made a lot of people in the industry very envious. They felt as if Wu Huan Yue was surrounded by a sphere of luck.
And that luck was Master Lin.
If anyone had Master Lin helping him or her like that, he or she would become unstoppable.
In the office.
When Yang Qian saw the news, her face turned red from anger. She rushed over to Wu Huan Yue with her phone.
“Huan Yue, look. What is all this? What’s wrong with people these days? They just keep flaming you.”
Wu Huan Yue had been thinking about something else. When she saw the news, she just smiled. She didn’t seem angry at all.
“Huan Yue, aren’t you angry?” asked Yang Qian.
Wu Huan Yue smiled. “Why would I be angry? I think they’re right. Actually, Brother Lin has been helping me all along. All I was doing was using my voice. If someone else sang Brother Lin’s songs, she would definitely be even more popular. So there’s nothing wrong with what they’re saying.”
Yang Qian tilted her head. “Huan Yue, how can you think like that?”
“Alright, alright. There’s no need to care about this. Actually, it’s nothing at all,” said Wu Huan Yue with a smile. She really didn’t seem to mind.
Cloud Street!
When Lin Fan came to the shop, the townsfolk were already queuing and waiting for the scallion pancakes. To them, coming here to buy scallion pancakes every day was the happiest thing.
Though the limit of ten servings a day was way too low, they had gradually developed a habit of coming here to queue every day even if they wouldn’t be able to buy the scallion pancakes.
After preparing all the scallion pancakes, Lin Fan leaned back on the chair.
“Brother Lin, did you see the news?” asked Wu You Lan.
“News? What news?” asked Lin Fan curiously. He had not used his phone since the previous night. But looking at Wu You Lan’s expression, it seemed that something had happened. Then, he took out his phone and opened his Weibo app to look at the news.
But when he saw the news, he was taken aback.
“D*mn. I’m getting shot at while lying down again. Who is this Zheng Ya anyway? I’ve never heard of him.”
Lin Fan was curious. This guy was too unbridled. He was messing with Lin Fan’s friend. Moreover, this guy’s Weibo post seemed a little c.o.c.ky. Lin Fan could not stand it.
Lin Fan was dumbfounded. This guy was just causing trouble out of nothing.
Zhao Zhong Yang said, “D*mn. Brother Lin, this guy deliberately said something like this. He can’t be forgiven.”
Fraud Tian was curious too. “What is it? What happened now? Could it be that another guy doesn’t know what’s good for him? Is he trying to mislead the public on the Internet?”
Lin Fan shook his head. “No. I just went home for a rest. How did so many things happen so fast? Sigh. It can’t be helped. It seems that I’ll have to get busy again.”
He opened up Weibo and thought for a moment. He had to settle this matter perfectly.
In the end, he thought of the words and started typing. Then, he posted it.
“Regarding whether Wu Huan Yue would be popular without me, there’s no need to even discuss that. Because I will always compose songs for her. As long as she sings, I will continue to compose songs. That’s why that scenario is not even possible. Don’t say that I’ll run out of ideas or things like that. I have a lot of songs. It wouldn’t even be a problem to compose one song every day.”
After this post was sent, he thought for a moment and sent another comment.
“Who says I can’t write English songs just because my English isn’t good? I forgot to mention yesterday that Wu Huan Yue is going to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion too. Her songs will be composed by me. I only said that my English isn’t good, but I didn’t say that I can’t write English songs. You guys are overthinking this.”
When these two comments were posted, the netizens on Weibo were completely stunned.
“D*mn! Master Lin is way too domineering!”
“Haha, I’m dying of laughter. Master Lin is just that domineering. He’s basically sending out a challenge.”
“666… I have no words. How does that even make sense? He can write English songs without knowing English? Why do I feel like it isn’t quite right? It seems contradictory.”
“^It’s not contradictory at all because this is Master Lin. Just don’t overthink it.”
“That’s right. If Master Lin says that it’s not contradictory, then it means it’s not contradictory.”
“I can’t wait. I wonder what kind of songs Master Lin will compose. I really can’t wait.”
In an instant, the Internet was lively with comments.
When Zheng Ya saw Master Lin’s post, he was stunned. It was as if he couldn’t believe it. But somehow, he just felt uneasy.
He had received many warnings from friends not to go against Master Lin, but he had felt unyielding. However, he had still heeded their warning and didn’t explicitly offend Master Lin. He had indirectly belittled Wu Huan Yue instead.
Although he was very confident in his own abilities, if he ended up losing the compet.i.tion, he would be slapping himself in the face.
