The Chinese Elf's Family Rescue Adventure

In the corner of the yard, Jian Lin rubbed her temples irritably and yelled at Qian Hui, the assistant director standing opposite her, "What did you say? The live stream wasn't turned off?"

Qian Hui stood there, his face flushed with embarrassment, stuttering, "This... this, Director Jian, you didn't tell us to turn it off."

"Do I need to remind you? Is everyone just here for nothing?" Jian Lin rolled her eyes in exasperation. The professional quality of this team was really poor! When something unexpected like this happened, shouldn't turning off the live stream be the first instinct?

"Or rather," Jian Lin narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at Qian Hui, "does someone have ulterior motives?" She knew very well that some people might want to make a big story out of this and use the negative public opinion for hype.

Qian Hui, whose thoughts had been exposed, felt his face burning. "How could that be! Who would do such a despicable thing!"

Jian Lin snorted. "Just be clear about it. Wen Chi is the guest we invited for the show. We all rise and fall together. If he causes a big trouble during the live stream, this show won't be able to go on. Even for the sake of work, no one would do such a stupid thing, right?"

Qian Hui felt aggrieved but could only reply, "Yes... yes."

Jian Lin waved her hand impatiently. "All right, I'll handle this." After saying that, she turned around and left without wasting a second.

Watching Jian Lin's departing back, Qian Hui's expression became gloomy and uncertain. He muttered, "That little girl, she's just sucking up to the leaders. She really thinks she's something special!"

Qian Hui was extremely resentful. He was nearly ten years older than Jian Lin, yet after all these years, he was still only an assistant director while Jian Lin, young as she was, had already become the chief director. He refused to admit that it was his lack of ability. Instead, he thought he was underappreciated and that the leaders were blind and didn't give him a chance. As for Jian Lin, hum, a young woman could climb so fast? She must have taken shortcuts. "Women, they'll do anything to get ahead," Qian Hui grumbled sourly as he raised his hand to smooth his almost bald head and walked towards a quieter place. While walking, he dialed a number and put on a fawning smile, "Hey, hello, this is Xiao Qian. Yeah, yeah, it's about that thing..." His voice trailed off as he walked away.

On the other side, Jian Lin knew exactly what Qian Hui was up to. But Qian Hui was an old hand in the station and always flaunted his seniority. She didn't want to have a direct confrontation, so she could only give him a warning. "You'd better behave, or else..." She didn't finish the rest of the threatening words.

Jian Lin took out her phone and opened Wen Chi's live stream room. The screen was pitch black. The live stream had been paused, but that couldn't stop the netizens' enthusiasm for gossip. The bullet comments were flying:

[Is the production team crazy? They dared to touch an extinct plant? Do they know the consequences?]

[It's one thing after another. We still haven't figured out Sui Sui's identity, and now this!]

[Could it be a hype?]

[Which team is so bold as to ask the police to act?]

[My blood pressure is soaring! It would be better if Wen Chi was caught for taking drugs!]

[Wen Chi:???]

[Don't defend Wen Chi. He went to talk to the police. Maybe this Baishan Spring Orchid has something to do with him!]

[Who knows lip-reading? Hurry up and see what Wen Chi said. Why was the microphone turned off?]

[I seem to have guessed what the police officer said. Was it three to seven years in prison?]

[Damn! Really!]

After reading these bullet comments, Jian Lin understood everything. At that time, she was only shocked by the origin of the Baishan Spring Orchid and didn't notice Wen Chi's dejected look. That silly boy, he probably thought he was an accomplice. "It's really hard to know what to say," Jian Lin couldn't help laughing.

She and Xia Kai were college friends. Although she knew Xia Kai was Wen Chi's executive agent, she had never met Wen Chi before preparing for this show. There were a lot of rumors about Wen Chi in the industry, and none of them were good. After hearing so many, it was no wonder that her impression of him was not so good. When Xia Kai occasionally defended Wen Chi, she would just smile and say nothing, thinking that Xia Kai was just soft-hearted and a nice guy. If Xia Kai hadn't begged her desperately, she would never have invited Wen Chi to participate in the new variety show she had worked so hard to prepare.

But now, thinking that Wen Chi could have concealed the truth but chose to tell the police honestly, Jian Lin's view of him had changed a little. This young man was quite honest, but he seemed a bit naive and didn't look very smart. He was far from the arrogant and domineering image in the rumors.

Jian Lin shook her head and was about to go in and talk to Wen Chi when the person in charge of the publicity team rushed over anxiously, "Director Jian! Finally found you!"

Jian Lin turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"

"Have you seen the bullet comments in the live stream room?" The person in charge of the publicity team was so anxious that he was stomping his feet.

Jian Lin shook her phone. "I'm looking at them."

The person in charge sighed. "This is really troublesome. The public opinion trend is very unfavorable to us!" As he said that, he handed over the sorted materials.

Jian Lin flipped through them and had a general idea. Just because the live stream wasn't turned off and the audience watched the whole process, the public opinion fermented faster than a rocket. At the beginning, Officer Tan came out to clarify and said it had nothing to do with Wen Chi, and the atmosphere of the bullet comments eased a little. But when the Baishan Spring Orchid appeared, wow, the bullet comments exploded and the wind direction changed dramatically! Now on several major social platforms, such as Weibo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu, everyone was discussing "Peach Blossom Spring", and negative comments accounted for the majority, almost 60%! The hot search on Weibo had exploded, and the number of likes for the top comments had easily exceeded 100,000, with thousands of replies and still increasing rapidly!

[It is recommended to conduct a thorough investigation of the production team! Focus on Wen Chi!]

[I have to say that this production team is really rubbish. First, they carelessly let a strange child into the variety show, and then they got involved in the Baishan Spring Orchid incident. Strongly recommend a forced shutdown to avoid causing a bad impact on the public!]

[What happened to my baby later? If the outfit at the beginning was not arranged by the production team, I can only think of kidnapping... I hope the result is good! Hurry up and find Sui Sui's parents!]

[According to insider information, this incident has caused a big stir, and the police have already intervened. Let's wait for the news.]

[According to a rumor, it is said that the Baishan Spring Orchid was dug up by WC and he ate it. If this is true, the crazy fans should get ready to visit your idol in prison!]

There were all kinds of comments, including reproaches, concerns, and gossip, in a complete mess. Some ridiculous rumors, such as "the whole production team was investigated and sent to prison", were even believed by some people! Even on Zhihu, which usually didn't like to get involved in the entertainment industry, the top three hot topics were related to "Peach Blossom Spring", but from a different perspective.
