Chapter 72

When he called Yin Ting her line was busy. He waited for a bit then called her again.Yin Ting informed him that she had been on the phone with Xiu PR, and they were informing her that they are handling the incident and issuing a statement. They have also requested that she does not withdraw from the event.‘I was also calling you to tell you of this. The statement has been issued. Of course, it will take all parties a while to calm down and for things return to normal. Anyway, Xiu’s side seems to be handling things well. The rest is up to you. I don’t want you to withdraw from the event. You quitting doesn’t help anything at all. It would only vindicate them and confirm your guilt in their eyes, and they will celebrate their victory. To them they have vanquished the evil in the shadows, they won't think that it is because you had been hurt that you withdrew.’Yin Ting didn’t reply. (Zuben: may have fallen asleep)‘Do you understand, Xiaoting? Such people are blindly convinced of what they believe, and will only believe what is convenient to them, they would not accept another possibility. Whatever you do, the result will be the same. If you continue, they will insist you are a “black box” operation. If you quit, it will not change their minds. They would be even more incited, they will feel proud of themselves are the heroes of justice. You have done nothing wrong, why should you make them proud?’‘But…’ she began to say, but she did not continue.‘Don’t give up, Xiaoting.’ He implored her.Yin Ting bit her lip, she wanted to say ‘Yes’ loudly, but she felt too disappointing. She was very worried. She could not bear the guilt that drowned her. (Zuben: No chicken soup saying to help alleviate your doldrums?)‘I’m scared,’ she said in a small voice, ‘I can’t post anymore. Whatever I write, I would feel embarrassed. It was too hard to hear. I had wanted to write about Xiu being derived from my mom’s name, but then they would say I was advertising again, and I am using my deceased relatives for money (Zuben: That would have been a huge mistake). I had also wanted to post about your proposal, take photos when we buy our rings, but now I don’t dare do it. They’ll be jealous, they will ridicule me. And I will drag you down with me. I can’t think of what I can write. If I can’t write, what is the point of me continuing?’Zhengqing sighed inwardly. What she said is true, but he still decided to patiently encourage her not to give up.‘Xiaoting, there is no cost to insulting people on the internet. Those who are jealous of you will not win or lose anything. No matter how good you are, it doesn’t matter to them at all. After you leave, they return to their lives. They have not been affected at all. But you, you like to share. Because you are being misunderstood, you don’t want to share anymore? It isn’t a question of the event. It is a question of your life; will you no longer enjoy your life?’Yin Ting could not reply.‘Xiaoting,’ he continued, ‘your fans and friends are cheering for you. So am I. I fell in love with you because of your open attitude to life; you are so happy and see the good and the beauty in everything. With you, I have also become happy. I hope you can always be happy. Be brave, Xiaoting.’‘Okay,’ she replied. Her voice still small, her attitude was not big enough. But he knew he couldn’t force her. She would get frustrated if he pressed her.  His Xiaoting was a smart woman; she would eventually work it out for herself.‘Shall I come and pick you up to go to the hospital?’ he asked, changing the subject.‘No. I, I don’t want to go to the hospital. I’m afraid I can’t control my emotions and I will worry Dad.’‘Alright then. After work, I will go and see your father, then pick you up for dinner.’‘Hao.’ She replied in agreement.He hung up.Yin Ting tried to keep away from the computer, but in the end she could not help herself. She went to the event webpage on her phone.The press release seemed to have upset the detractors.They were maligning Xiu and accusing Yin Ting of being shameless. They were saying that Tingting Yuli413 had a backer. She wasn’t only hooking up with Yongkai’s VP right? Then someone commented that someone broke the news and helped Tingting Yuli 413 confront the accusers. That there was Yongkai PR and Yongkai’s Eldest lady. There were also a few daughters and wives of certain enterprises that were supporting her. There was another furore. (Zuben: Gosh these people have time)No wonder, ah, they said, so shameless. So she is a rich second generation heiress. They would only buy brand names and show off their wealth, spending their parents’ money. They were low and disgusting.Then some people blew a new trumpet. They claimed that they had a friend working in Xiu, and this news is absolutely true. The event was created for ‘Tingting Yuli413’ as a springboard for her career. The event was created to hold her. It wasn’t for her to win the prize but through this activity create a “beautiful little girl next door” image for her so she could use it to enter the entertainment circle. She was going to publish a book and Yongkai was going to invest to help her get into acting. (Zuben: It’s getting more preposterous)Any why are they going through all this trouble? Because Tingting Yuli413 has no talent, no beauty but she wants to be an actress. There is no bedding that can’t be red. Therefore, they must catapult her with this event.This comment was quickly shared, and the netizens were incensed and the booed. Many applicants announced their withdrawal from the competition. Some claimed they were invited to compete in the event and joined because it seemed interesting. But they didn’t think it was so bad and so black. Many people turned to “kōng qìqiú”, “ài zǒulù de nǚrén” and others to dissuade them from continuing in the event. They should not be stepping stones for “Tingting Yuli413”’s ambition.A lot of people did not post. They had seen that the situation was not good. So they neither updated their blog nor commented on Weibo. Messages filled their blogs but they did not respond.The so-called insider information was too ridiculous. Xiu’s PR quickly issued a response, stating the so claimed insider information was purely false. The person who claimed such had been reported to the police, and they would legally pursue the source of the rumour.This caused another wave accusations and recriminations. (Zuben: It’s getting boring)After a while the post about the ‘insider scoop’ was deleted. The ‘whistleblower did not make any announcements, but the seeds of suspicion were already planted. Many began to insist that Xiu threatened the person who exposed the scoop, and collaborated with the platform operator to delete the post. They posted screenshots of the deleted posts claiming; you cannot delete the people’s eyes and justice. (Zuben: snore*)There were people who were trying to be reasonable who said that the first statement that was published had been reasonable. It was indeed impossible to deprive others of their right to participate in the event because of their identity. Others had visited Yin Ting’s blog and found her content to be inkeeping with her event posts, which were very interesting. The second statement was timely and decisive. If the person who posted it was not guilty why did they delete it? Why don’t they dare make any more comments?But the detractors accused the ‘supporters’ of stupidity. The whole comment section was noise and full of bad words.Yin Ting’s heart went cold reading this. She saw so many of her fans and friends arguing on her behalf, it made her even sadder. She knew she should not be reading all these malicious comments, but she could not help herself. (Zuben: like watching a train wreck happen)Zhengqing left the company on time and went to the hospital. Guohao had already found out about the situation. Ying Ting had called Yin Shi to tell him she wasn’t coming to the hospital today. When Yin Shi found out about the malicious accusations on the event about Yin Ting, he told Yin Guohao. Guohao called his daughter but she had told him not to worry about it.Zhengqing described the situation in detail to Guohao. He also told Guohao that he didn’t think Yin Ting should give up. Guohao loved his daughter and thought that she should do what ever she wanted, even if it was give up.But Zhengqing countered, ‘She wouldn’t be happy if she gives up. You were against us being together because you feared her unhappiness in the long run. That long term pain is worse than short term. This is the case now, she would not be happy is she gives up. I love her, just as you do and I can’t accept her being unhappy. So I will insist that she stays the course, and encourage her and be with her through this.’Zhengqing left shortly after. He informed them he was taking Yin Ting out to dinner and she wanted to go. He also informed Guohao and Yin Shi that he had proposed to Yin Ting the night before, and she had accepted. It was just that this incident had blindsided them. It broke the mood and spoiled the timing.‘I will take good care of her,’ he told Guohao before he left, ‘you can be rest assured.’Once Zhengqing was gone, Guohao complained to his son, ‘Listen, what is with his attitude? Is this how you propose marriage? Where is the feeling of beseeching?’‘It is before Xiaoting,’ Yin Shi answered without hesitation. His father gave him a gamy look, he quickly changed is mind, ‘Yes, of course, his attitude is really bad.’He didn’t dare tell his father, he had come home to find time kissing on the couch. (Zuben: Why would you?)Guohao continued staring at Yin Shi.‘What?' He asked.‘Coming any how…’Yin Shi touched his nose; good children did not fight with their parents. This filial piety he still had.  (Zuben: A few fights here and there will not go amiss)‘However, Zhengqing is right.’ Guohao suddenly said.‘He is right.’ The older man repeated, more to himself.Yin Shi nodded in agreement. He also felt that Zhengqing was right. Yin Ting should not withdraw.
