Naturally, they thought that Qin Qiao'er was riding on Zhao Youting's coattails. They believed that since Zhao Youting had already denied any relationship, Qin Qiao'er should have done the same but didn't.
It all started when they were paired as a CP on a variety show. Although many CP fans of the show thought they were really sweet together, there were also many who didn't like it. A lot of people felt that Qin Qiao'er was just trying to gain popularity from Zhao Youting. After all, Zhao Youting was already a well - known figure, while Qin Qiao'er had two children to take care of.
They thought that someone like Zhao Youting, a well - known eligible bachelor in the city, should have high standards and wouldn't take a fancy to Qin Qiao'er.
Moreover, Qin Qiao'er had suddenly become popular overnight. Her fan base wasn't very solid. At that time, she didn't have many fans. A lot of people got to know her through the variety show, and many passers - by only followed her because they liked her two children.
These passers - by were easily influenced by marketing accounts. Although there seemed to be nothing strange on the surface, those in the same industry could tell at once that there was someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.
If it hadn't been pointed out by someone with ulterior motives, this incident wouldn't have blown up so quickly.
Many uninformed people were misled. They all thought that Qin Qiao'er was trying to gain popularity from Zhao Youting and that she had no real talent.
Qin Qiao'er had indeed become popular suddenly. After becoming famous, she had been on a lot of variety shows but had no substantial works.
Besides, she wasn't really a variety show personality. People watched the shows mainly because of her interaction with her children.
All of a sudden, Qin Qiao'er was once again at the center of the storm. Since she entered the entertainment industry, she seemed to be constantly on the hot search.
Qin Qiao'er's company actually noticed that there was someone behind the scenes pushing this whole thing forward, but they didn't care. Instead, they thought that the mastermind was doing exactly what they wanted.
Originally, Qin Qiao'er's popularity might have only come from the rumor with Zhao Youting. Now, everyone was bashing her, which exactly achieved the so - called "black - and - red" effect they desired.
Although Qin Qiao'er's popularity among passers - by dropped significantly, her name became much more well - known.
"Who is Qin Qiao'er? I've never heard of her," many passers - by wondered.
But after seeing the news, many people subconsciously searched for her information. Her name stayed on the hot search list for a long time.
Some rational netizens chose to believe in Qin Qiao'er. Some of them had been following her since she first debuted.
Many people thought this girl was very kind after her first show, when she spoke up for stray dogs. Such a person couldn't be like what the media portrayed.
However, their voices were very weak and were quickly drowned out by the online storm.
Qin Qiao'er's company didn't interfere, but Zhao Youting saw this and decided to find out who was controlling the public opinion.
But the information he got was always second - hand, so it was difficult to catch the mastermind. After the hype died down, the person behind the scenes disappeared.
Zhao Youting was secretly shocked. He thought this person was very smart and knew when to stop. This person must be very experienced.
Zhao Youting didn't know who Qin Qiao'er had offended this time. How could such a powerful person be sent to deal with her?
Although Qin Qiao'er's reputation wasn't very good at the moment, just as her company had predicted, a lot of variety show invitations suddenly came her way.
The company hoped that Qin Qiao'er would bring her two children to ride on this wave of popularity again, but Qin Qiao'er refused all of them.
She thought it wasn't suitable for her and her children to appear in public at this time. She felt that it was enough for people to scold her. If her two children were involved, she would feel extremely guilty.
Her two children had also recently noticed that their mother was unhappy, so they tried their best to stay by her side every day.
Zhao Youting also didn't want Qin Qiao'er to change her original intention because of the public opinion.
He hoped that he could become stronger, strong enough to protect Qin Qiao'er so that she would never be hurt again and could just focus on pursuing her dreams.
Qin Qiao'er felt very lucky. Although she was under a lot of external attacks, there were always people by her side, making her feel that she wasn't alone.
Qin Qiao'er's company carefully selected a variety show for her. It just so happened that the show only invited Qin Qiao'er herself.
Moreover, the theme of this variety show was very good. If nothing went wrong, this show would surely win the hearts of a large number of people for Qin Qiao'er.
There were five guests in this show. In each episode, they had to help a minority group achieve their wishes.
After seeing this setting, the company immediately decided. They thought this variety show was very suitable for Qin Qiao'er. After all the negative publicity, it was time for a comeback.
One day, Qin Qiao'er was called to the company to sign the contract. She stared at the contract and fell into deep thought.
She said to Tu Qinqin, "Can I do it? My reputation is so bad now. Will I affect the ratings of this show if I participate?"
Tu Qinqin patted her on the shoulder with a smile. "You're still too young. The program crew is looking forward to having someone like you on their show. Otherwise, there are so many artists with no scandals. Why didn't they choose them?
They chose you because you bring your own topics and popularity. People will definitely watch the first episode because of you. As long as there is popularity, whether it's good or bad, it's better than being unknown."
Qin Qiao'er was still hesitant, but Tu Qinqin kept assuring her that there would be no problem and that this show was very suitable for her.
Finally, Qin Qiao'er was touched by the show's setting. She thought that if she could help a person in need in each episode, it would be a truly meaningful thing.
