Chapter 48: Love turns to hate, deliberate revenge?
The large screen played the advertisement in a loop for three consecutive days. During these three days, Shen Zhiyi could see her own videos or photos wherever she went. Discussions about this matter on the Internet also never stopped. Most people were curious about why the agency praised Shen Zhiyi so much. They thought all of this was arranged by the company.

Compared with the previous agency, the gap is quite large. The amused crowd even went to compare the birthday promotions in previous years. As a result, they found that there was no birthday party last year. On Shen Zhiyi's birthday, the studio was quiet and there was no movement. After further investigation, they found that Shen Zhiyi temporarily took over an interview program of Huo Heng who was injured in filming that day.

What's more coincidental is that Xu Xia was on this talk show, and Shen Zhiyi was given a birthday cake in advance for her upcoming birthday. When everyone was celebrating with laughter, Shen Zhiyi appeared in the corner of the camera, standing quietly.

The old talk show was dug up again. At that time, people were only concerned about scolding Shen Zhiyi for taking advantage of Huo Heng's resources, but now more details have been discovered. Shen Zhiyi was also filming at the time, but she squeezed out time to participate in the talk show in order to clean up the mess for Huo Heng. It is said that she stayed up late for three consecutive days to film and did not even have time to rest.

The agency doesn't take her seriously, people in the circle look down on her, and she's chased and scolded by black fans. It's really miserable.

Many videos pleading for justice for Shen Zhiyi suddenly emerged, and the number of online viewers continued to rise. After Xiao Dong finished watching all the videos, she was almost depressed. Why had her sister Zhiyi been so miserable in the past?
Then he muttered quietly, "It turns out that Xu Xia's birthday is only one day away from Sister Zhiyi's."

Compared to the unpopular Shen Zhiyi, Xu Xia reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted. He is incredibly popular with the public and his birthday parties are very grand every year, but this year is an exception.

All the advertising screens in the city were booked out, and each booking lasted for three days. As a result, Xu Xia, whose birthday was only one day away from Shen Zhiyi's, couldn't even find a screen to play her video. On her birthday, the entire internet was discussing Shen Zhiyi's overly grand birthday party and the grand screen promotion. Even her fans felt embarrassed.

How come I can’t even find a big screen?

It was really bad luck. It was embarrassing enough in itself, and it became a hot topic because of this incident. It was particularly eye-catching when it was listed together with Shen Zhiyi's entry. Xu Xia looked extremely ugly, and he was not in the right state when filming. When he was on the crew, he always felt that someone was secretly talking about him.

She has never suffered such a great injustice since her debut.

"Brother Huo."

In a corner where no one was paying attention, Huo Heng saw Xu Xia crying as soon as she came over. She asked very sadly, "Sister Zhiyi did it on purpose, right? She knew that her birthday was only one day away from mine, and she even booked the big screen for three days on purpose, just to humiliate me. She hated me for taking you away, but I didn't mean to hurt her."

Huo Heng's mood was not much better than hers. Shen Zhiyi had now completely drawn a line between them. She did not invite him to the birthday party, and the gifts she sent were returned, making him feel like a joke.

He frowned, wanting to say that Zhiyi was not that kind of person, but because Xu Xia was crying, he softened his heart and comforted her softly, "It's not your fault, it may be arranged by the company."

Xu Xia raised her eyes, "Why does the company support her so much? The resources she can get now are not commensurate with her status. She is just a third-tier actress, and the company is willing to spend so much money on her?"

She was trying to guide him, and Huo Heng understood it immediately. His face darkened, "It must be Boss Qin who is praising her."

"It's not Mr. Qin," Xu Xia lowered his voice, "Brother Huo, it seems that the person who supports Sister Zhiyi is not Qin Fangru."

"Isn't it Qin Fangru?"

Huo Heng was confused, "Who else could it be if not him?"

Xu Xia shook her head. "I don't know either. Didn't Sister Zhiyi tell you?"

"We haven't been in touch for a long time."

"I think Sister Zhiyi is targeting me," Xu Xia bit her lip. "Brother Huo, you have to be careful. What if Sister Zhiyi turns her love for you into hatred for you? She has a backer, so it would be easy for her to deal with us." Recent public opinion is indeed not very friendly, but it is hard to say who is behind it. Huo Heng was unwilling to believe that Shen Zhiyi was targeting him, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, he had no choice.

"Don't you have a talk show today? Many people on the Internet said that you deliberately dragged Shen Zhiyi down and created a mess for her. You should clarify it now."

Xu Xia hugged him and said, "Brother Huo, don't be so soft-hearted. Career is the most important thing, isn't it?"

Huo Heng didn't say anything, implicitly agreeing to her proposal.

The interview began. At Huo Heng's advance signal, the host deliberately directed the interview questions to Shen Zhiyi.

"Huo Heng, you just ended a relationship not long ago. Although you have broken up, you should still have a good relationship with your ex-girlfriend. After all, you have known each other for so many years. Can you give her a call and talk to her in person?"

Huo Heng's smile froze. This was different from what he had planned. Why did he suddenly call Shen Zhiyi? He had been blocked a long time ago.

The interview was live, so he managed to keep calm, "It's not necessary, she's pretty busy too."

"Really?" The host laughed and joked, "Could it be that you've been blocked?"

Huo Heng's agent gestured outside to stop the show, but it was impossible. The host ignored him and asked more and more questions. "I looked at the timeline that everyone compiled online and found that you suddenly withdrew from the show or left midway several times. Shen Zhiyi completed the process for you. You were still boyfriend and girlfriend at that time, right? Did you know that she was busy with work for you even though she had a high fever?"

Huo Heng couldn't answer. Whatever he said would be over-interpreted. He didn't know why the host suddenly changed his mind and made things difficult for him. He was about to get angry. "I don't want to talk about personal matters."

The host smiled brightly, "Our program likes to ask artists personal questions. Didn't the team know this before they contacted us?"

Of course I knew. I was counting on this show to continue to smear Shen Zhiyi, but the host didn't cooperate at all.

The interview ended hastily. Everyone could see that Huo Heng was flustered and guilty. He gritted his teeth and asked the host, "Why are you targeting me?"

The host glanced at him and smiled, "Huo Heng, I don't have any reason to target you. You might as well think about who you have offended."

The venue was tidied up and the next artist for the interview soon arrived. This was the first time Huo Heng saw Shen Zhiyi in more than a month. She had lost some weight due to the filming, but her complexion was good. She tilted her head to listen to her assistant and passed by him without even glancing at him.

Xu Xia’s words came to his mind again, so was she deliberately targeting him?

Shen Zhiyi didn't notice the look in Huo Heng's eyes. She received an electronic invitation before the interview began. Surprisingly, the sender was Qin Fang, inviting her to attend his sister's birthday party.

What a coincidence, it’s just a few days away from her birthday.

　Let these two jump around for a while, they can still be useful
