Chapter 450: The Topic Dies Down
There were a lot of Haibei fans online because of this incident, and they also made the list of topics.
Although the fans’ fascination about the matter would fade eventually, Xia Xibei did not want to let this matter continue to ferment and affect her development.
The best way to lower interest in something was to make something else hot.
Just after returning home, Xia Xibei received a call from Tang Luo.
Tang Luo said with a laugh, “We have made preparations for the next stage.”
“Yes, thank you for your trouble,” Xia Xibei said with a smile.
“You’re welcome… Wait a minute?”
“What’s wrong?” Xia Xibei asked immediately.
“There’s a few topics that have dropped in popularity.”
“Which topics?”
“The topics about you and Brother Hai.”
Xia Xibei was surprised. “What about the rest?”
“The other topics… Are on the rise.”
Xia Xibei was silent for a moment. “That’s not a problem, right?”
“No,” Tang Luo shook his head. “I will continue to put out news from my side.”
“Okay, thank you.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xibei also opened up the microblog topic list.
Soon, she saw that the #haibeicouple topic, originally ranked in the top 30, had fallen to top 80. If she hadn’t flipped to the end of the list, she wouldn’t have been able to find it.
The other two related topics also dropped to the bottom of the list.
And what rose was the topic about her and Xia Qinghan.
After the previous broadcast of “Million Dollar Wisdom & Courage,” many people doubted the authenticity of Xia Xibei’s results because of certain rumors.
In contrast, there was naturally a touting for Xia Qinghan.
Xia Qinghan only got a few questions wrong, which was a normal occurrence, whereas it was not reasonable for Xia Xibei to get all the questions right.
Xia Qinghan took advantage of this matter, pus.h.i.+ng down on Xia Xibei and promoting her own topic.
If Nie Zehai did not end up vindicated, Xia Xibei would also be very badly affected. Then, Xia Qinghan would have won.
But unfortunately, things did not develop as Xia Qinghan and Bai Meixue thought they would.
The reversal caught them off-guard.
Xia Xibei casually clicked on a topic list to see everyone’s comments.
“If someone says Xia Xibei cheated, then I can also say that Xia Qinghan cheated! You can say anything with no evidence!”
“If the questions weren’t leaked, then how could Xia Xibei do so well? I don’t believe it!”
“Oh, just because you don’t believe it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. There is a saying: My poverty limits my imagination. The same applies to you: Your IQ limits your imagination!”
There was another war of words below, all arguing over whether the questions had been leaked or not. This discussion was also interspersed with some strange remarks.
“I really don’t care whether the questions are leaked or not. Xibei is so beautiful! She’s a fairy tale maiden! And did Xia Qinghan offend the makeup artist? Didn’t they say they were about the same age? How come she looked so much older?”
“I thought so too! It felt like they had the same makeup. Why did Xia Qinghan look so much older?”
“Does anyone know the lipstick Xia Xibei was wearing? I want to buy it!”
“It seems that they both had the same lipstick, right? Don’t bother. This lipstick can’t be worn by everyone.”
“I love Xia Xibei’s necklace, it’s so beautiful!”
Looking at these skewed comments, Xia Xibei couldn’t help but shake her head and grin.
Soon, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.
“Sister Lili?” She was surprised.
“Xibei, did you know they are changing the rules and topics of the show?”
Xia Xibei was surprised.
“Changes?”
“Right,” Sister Lili nodded. “I heard them talking about it, so I wanted to let you know first. The announcement should be out soon. You should get ready as soon as possible.”
“Good. Thank you, Sister Lili.”
“Uh… There’s one more thing!”
