Three questions every day after traveling through a book: Has your character been ruined today?

Less than 10 minutes after Lu Yanli gave the order, Zhao Xing knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Lu, everything has been handled. The hot searches about Ms. Meng's bullying have been removed online, and all related news has been deleted."

“Who was the first person to break the news?”

"It's a small account called 'Shanshan is not Shanshan'. According to the information we found, the registration information of this small account came from an assistant close to Liu Liu."

Liu Liu, Lu Yanli remembered this name. She was in the same group with Meng Yuan during the first performance, and she even spoke well of Meng Yuan on stage.

I didn't expect that he acted so well in front of people but used so many tricks behind their backs.

"That piece of information should have been forwarded over 10,000 times, right? Sort out the information and ask the legal department to send a lawyer's letter to prepare for a lawsuit."

Since you have spread rumors, you must bear the corresponding legal consequences.

"Okay, Mr. Lu. There is one more thing I want you to report." Zhao Xing continued:

"Just now when the trending search was removed, I saw a post online by someone claiming to be a staff member of Star 2, clarifying that the photo of Meng Yuan playing Bai Lian on the beach that was previously circulated online was a misunderstanding caused by the shooting angle, and released an analysis of the live broadcast footage at that time."

"But netizens don't buy it, saying it's an attempt to whitewash Meng Yuan."

"I felt that this post did not have a positive impact on Ms. Meng, so I deleted it."

"Who sent this?" Lu Yanli asked.

"I've checked, it's Su Ye."

"Well, well done. From now on, you will assign someone to keep an eye on online public opinion. If there is any news about Meng Yuan, you must notify me immediately."

"Okay Mr. Lu."

Just when Lu Yanli was about to speak again, the phone rang and the caller ID showed it was Gu Ze.

Lu Yanli had no choice but to wave his hand to signal Zhao Xing to leave, and then answered the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, I heard Gu Ze's unbelievable voice from the other end:

"Brother Lu, did you remove Meng Yuan's trending search?"

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Lu Yanli's tone was not kind.

In fact, if Gu Ze was not still useful to Lu Yanli now, Lu Yanli would have blocked him directly based on what Gu Ze said on the phone before.

Gu Ze obviously heard the displeasure in Lu Yanli's tone. Although he didn't know what made Lu Yanli so upset, he was still cautious when he spoke again:

"I think this trending search is a good thing for Bai Lian. It attracted a lot of traffic and helped her gain and retain fans."

“It’s a shame to withdraw it like this.”

"Is it a pity?" Lu Yanli's tone was unclear, and he asked Gu Ze: "Then what do you think should be done to avoid being a pity?"

Gu Ze spoke cautiously:

"Of course, they took advantage of the popularity of this topic and released a mix of the performances during the Hakuren competition. They hired a few marketing accounts and internet trolls to increase the popularity and establish a beautiful, strong and miserable persona. Nowadays, netizens are very fond of this."

"Then you came back to take care of Bai Lian while she was sick, and told her everything you did to her. When people are sick, they need company and support, and you took advantage of the situation and came in, a man and a woman, staying in the same room..."

Perhaps because Lu Yanli hadn't interrupted him, Gu Ze became bolder and bolder, and gradually began to speak without restraint:

"I heard that when Shen Shuli heard that Bai Lian was sick, he immediately put aside his work and went to the island to visit her!"

"You are just a little too reserved. When pursuing a girl, you still have to be a little bit persistent. How does the saying go? A strong woman is afraid of a clinging man!"

"Brother Lu, if you ask me, love-brain is the best medical beauty for men. You can't lose in this area!"

"Why do I feel like you're more anxious about pursuing Bai Lian than I am?"

Lu Yanli said coldly: "Since you are so obsessed with chasing girls, why don't you do it yourself?"

"No, no, no, I'm just worried about you because I've seen you've been in love with her for so many years and finally waited for Bai Yueguang to return home!"

Gu Ze immediately gave in.

"If you don't want to go through so much trouble, you can have a meal with her, drink a little wine, open the little room, and lie down on the little bed."

"As for women, the feelings will come out after sleeping with them a few more times."

"This way you don't have to waste time on so many fancy things."

Lu Yanli listened to Gu Ze turning the topic to late-night 18+ shows, and finally understood that this person didn't care about trending searches or how to deal with them.

He only cares about the progress of his relationship with Bai Lian.

Lu Yanli suddenly realized.

Gu Ze is the NPC who promotes the relationship between the male and female protagonists in the novel!

First he urged me to get rid of the stand-in, and then he taught me how to win the heroine.

Did the God of Plot think that his progress was too slow and arranged for NPCs to teach him how to proceed with the plot?

After recognizing Gu Ze's identity and position, Lu Yanli thought for a moment and then spoke:

"I withdrew the trending search because, although this trending search was apparently favorable to Bai Lian, the false information about bullying was leaked by another strong contestant using a private account, and the purpose was obviously to break up the Bai Rimeng CP."

"The number of Daydream CPFs is huge, otherwise even Meng Yuan wouldn't be able to advance. If Daydream CP is disbanded, it will also have a great impact on Bai Lian."

"After weighing the pros and cons, I think it's not worthwhile to use this popularity to attract fans for Bai Lian. Bai Lian obviously wants to go the route of a talented contestant. Instead of using this popularity for marketing, it's better to use the fact that although her performance in the second assessment was slightly abnormal due to the high fever, she was still better than other contestants as a marketing entry point."

Lu Yanli didn't know much about the entertainment industry, and this was the only plausible reason he could come up with in a short period of time.

However, Gu Ze, who has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, did not notice the loopholes in Lu Yanli's words at all, and instead echoed:

"As expected of Mr. Lu, you are so thoughtful! The plan you proposed is the best!"

"Why don't I take care of this? After all, my team should have more experience in trending searches than Zhao Xing."

"To be honest, although Zhao Xing is very capable at work, he still lacks experience when it comes to the entertainment industry."

"Look, take the removal of trending searches as an example. All the news about Meng Yuan's bullying was deleted at once, and related word searches were blocked."

"This is obviously the style of a big shot in the entertainment industry. We in the entertainment industry would not do it so bluntly. We would use a bigger trending search to divert attention."

"That's enough." Lu Yanli realized that if he didn't interrupt, Gu Ze would continue to talk to himself:

"Since you are so good, then do a good job on the Bailian hot search. I'm watching you!"

"Don't worry, Brother Lu, I promise to complete the task!" Gu Ze assured and asked:

"So when will you come back to see Bai Lian?"

I forgot about this, Lu Yanli thought to himself.

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I have a fever too. I'm afraid that if I go back now, Bai Lian will get even sicker and it will delay her competition."

After Lu Yanli finished speaking, he pretended to cough twice.

Gu Ze couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Lu, you two are really a destined couple. You even want to accompany each other when you are sick."
