Chapter 9: Little Aunt.09

Chapter 9

A coach's young girl was a black-red belt, but her main student only had a white-yellow belt.

This...

There's no harm without comparison.

It makes Song Linchuan look even more incompetent.

Jiang Han was so regretful inside. It's all because he talked too much.

Now it's great. The tough guy image hasn't been set up yet, but the wimpy impression is already deeply rooted in people's hearts.

However, Jiang Han always felt something was wrong about this. Based on his understanding of Song Linchuan, this guy still has a lot of athletic talent.

It shouldn't be like this.

There must be some inside story to this.

Just as Jiang Han was thinking about how to get Song Linchuan to explain it, Song Anan suddenly spoke up.

"It's different," she said, "Linchuan only learned Taekwondo for a while, and later the neighboring boxing club saw his talent and pulled him over to practice boxing."

Of course, talent was one aspect, but the main reason was that Song Linchuan himself was interested.

"He has practiced boxing for many years and is very good at it," Song Anan emphasized.

Jiang Han couldn't help but ask again: "How good is he?"

Song Anan thought about it carefully, and didn't know how to describe it appropriately, so she could only say, "Anyway, if he doesn't go easy on me, I can't beat him."

[OMG, I didn't know Song Linchuan had such a hidden talent, he actually practiced boxing!]

[Geez, I didn't know my brother could box, as a hardcore fan I didn't even know.]

[Sigh, it's so annoying that the main character is so low-key.]

[I remember seeing a video online before, Song Linchuan seemed to play a boxer in it. That standard right hook with waist and abdominal power, the reaction speed was also amazing, obviously he had learned it well.]

[That was a promotional video shot for the **** brand. At that time, some fans already suspected he had learned it, but the official never responded, so it was dropped.]

...

Jiang Han obviously also remembered the promotional video.

At that time, on set, the boxing coach only demonstrated the move once, yet he was able to learn it.

At that time, Jiang Han also had this doubt, how did Song Linchuan answer it?

"I can't help it, I'm gifted, I can learn it with just one try."

Nonsense!

Shameless!

The official announced live streaming time for "Dearest Us" was 9am to 9pm.

But on the first day of the livestream, shortly after 7pm, Song Linchuan went to find the program staff and said he wanted to end the livestream.

The staff politely reminded him: "Teacher Song, did you get the time wrong? It's not 9pm yet."

Song Linchuan simply said, "You guys came at 7am."

His implied meaning was that they had done enough hours of work.

The staff paused and suddenly understood what he meant.

If you calculate it that way, he's not wrong either.

But for this show that was in its third season, it wasn't like there hadn't been times when they started shooting early. Yet they had never encountered this kind of situation before.

Also, the other three livestreams had started broadcasting at 7am as well, and were still ongoing. It wouldn't look good for them to end the livestream early.

"Um, I can't make this decision, should I check with the director?" The staff member scratched his head and said.

Song Linchuan didn't make things difficult for him either, and lightly nodded, "Mm, go ask."

After saying that, he didn't leave either, just stood there with his arms crossed, waiting.

The staff had no choice but to reluctantly take out his phone and call the director to ask.

However, after the first day of livestreaming where Song Linchuan and Song Anan topped the trending charts all day, gaining massive traction, this situation was obviously undesirable for Song Linchuan's antis.

Therefore, as soon as their livestream ended, the antis rushed to rewatch the VOD, hoping to find faults with Song Linchuan.

But with the current circumstances, the oft-criticized points of Song Linchuan failed to make any waves at all, netizens were clearly not buying it anymore.

The antis seemed to have run out of options, and finally aimed their attacks at Song Anan!

Their angle of attack was saying that Song Anan's image was too deliberately crafted, too fake, clearly trying to use Song Linchuan's popularity to get into the entertainment industry and make money, anyway just throwing subtle shade.

Whether it was the program team or Song Linchuan's team, they had noticed the antis' actions, but no one took it seriously, thinking it was just some sour grapes that didn't have any real blackmail material, nothing that could stir up huge waves.

But unexpectedly, after fermenting overnight, the situation became severe.

Early next morning, the tag #Song Linchuan's Niece A Delinquent Girl# was shockingly ranking #1 on trending searches.

Clicking in, there were all kinds of hit pieces smearing Song Anan at the top.

Saying that she was actually a failing student, only putting on a goody-two-shoes facade, but was actually a female gangster behind the scenes. She was expelled from school and now wanted to use Song Linchuan's popularity to make money in the entertainment industry.

Also saying that she would get into fights and bully classmates every day at school, even hospitalizing a classmate and other outrageous rumors, stated as if they were well-substantiated facts.

The general tone under this tag was antis gathering and criticizing Song Anan for not studying properly at such a young age, couldn't even get into college, and now wanted to take an "easy path" into the entertainment industry. Suggesting she should be boycotted, otherwise it would set a bad example for children and give teenagers the wrong values.

Elevating it to this level was like putting Song Anan on a stake and burning her.

For the netizens who had watched the show yesterday, seeing this trending topic left them utterly confused.

What's going on?

How did Song Anan's reputation collapse after just one night's sleep?!

[What the! No way, I quite liked Song Anan after watching the show yesterday, she looked like a well-behaved girl.]

[I know, such a nice little aunt doesn't seem anything like a delinquent girl at all.]

[Nice? Pfft, it's all just an act to get into the entertainment industry and make money.]

[Failing grades? Getting into fights? Even bullying classmates? This all sounds a bit far-fetched, doesn't it?]

[Heh, all I want to say is, there's no wind without waves, if Song Anan really didn't do all this stuff, why are so many people online saying it in such detail?]

[No wonder she's so good at fighting, I could tell she was well-trained just from how she took out two big guys bare-handed yesterday. She must run rampant at school!]

Oh my, a person with such high fighting ability going around bullying classmates is extremely scary to think about. The victims must have suffered so much!

Let's not jump to conclusions here. While the allegations are unconfirmed, Song Anan did rescue someone from human traffickers yesterday. We should judge each case on its own merits.

After going around online, I feel like there's no real evidence for those accusations about Song Anan. It smells like baseless rumors to me.

Don't be ridiculous. This has made it to the top of the hot search rankings. Do you think Song Linchuan's team eats for free? If it was fake news, they would have come out and denied it already.

...

The director and production team were most anxious when all these allegations suddenly came out against Song Anan.

The ratings and metrics for their first episode broadcast vastly exceeded expectations, undoubtedly due to the influence of A-lister Song Linchuan. But there's no denying that Song Anan also contributed greatly.

From the director's perspective, it's understandable that Song Anan came on the show aiming to debut.

It can't be helped. The entertainment industry is so glittery and lucrative, no wonder so many young people desperately want in.

And with Song Anan's looks, she really won the genetic lottery. With her superstar aunt Song Linchuan paving the way, she's bound to go far.

But that's all premised on her getting through this incident smoothly.

The director didn't hesitate to call Jiang Han directly.

After all, they're in the same boat now. If they could resolve this issue together, nothing could be better.

But contrary to expectations, Jiang Han was completely calm and unruffled when he picked up.

"Director, don't worry. I'll take care of this. Everything will be cleared up smoothly by the time we go live today. It won't impact the show."

After Jiang Han hung up, the director stared at his phone for a few seconds. Remembering Jiang Han's confidence, he instantly felt reassured.

It was now almost certain those online rumors about Song Anan were false.

Still, recalling Jiang Han's assurances, the director couldn't help but wonder - how exactly did he plan to resolve this?

Suddenly, he felt excited. There must be even more surprises in store from this girl Song Anan!
