AFVSIBS Chapter 53 Apologies to Zhou Chen Across the Internet


In order to make up for their mistaken criticisms of Zhou Chen, they all went to follow Zhou Chen's Weibo account.


In a short period of time, Zhou Chen's Weibo followers skyrocketed. The fifty thousand followers he had lost were all regained, and he gained an additional fifty thousand. This meant that Zhou Chen's Weibo followers suddenly reached one million five hundred thousand, and this number was still increasing rapidly. It wouldn't be surprising if it surpassed three million after today.


In addition to following Zhou Chen's Weibo, some of his die-hard fans also created a hashtag, #ApologiesToZhouChen, hoping that those who felt guilty and remorseful would apologize to Zhou Chen under this hashtag.


Shortly after the hashtag was created, it attracted the attention and comments of many netizens.


Even the singing sensation Yang Hanhan saw this hashtag. Initially, she had also doubted whether Zhou Chen had plagiarized, so she decided to set an example and personally apologize to Zhou Chen under this hashtag, hoping to encourage more people to participate.


She was well aware that Zhou Chen currently had a strained relationship with Wanhe Entertainment, and they wouldn't help him. As someone who appreciated Zhou Chen's talent, she hoped to use her influence to help him.


Immediately, she forwarded the hashtag to her own Weibo account and wrote: "Regarding the incident where Zhou Chen was suspected of plagiarism last night, I also had doubts about Zhou Chen initially, so I apologize to Zhou Chen here. I'm sorry for wrongly accusing you."


Yang Hanhan's Weibo post immediately caused a huge sensation.


After all, she was a singing sensation with extraordinary popularity, attention, and influence.


What was even more unbelievable and shocking was that a singing sensation like her would publicly apologize to a trainee who hadn't even debuted yet for such a minor incident.


"I can't believe it! The singing sensation personally forwarded a Weibo post to apologize to Zhou Chen! It seems that the influence of apologies is really huge."


"This is Zhou Chen for you. He hasn't even debuted yet, but he's already on the hot search list. He hasn't even debuted yet, but he's already garnered the attention of a singing sensation like Yang Hanhan."


"I think this is the real Yang Hanhan. She admits her mistakes and doesn't pretend or act. After all, didn't everyone wrongly accuse Zhou Chen after that plagiarism article came out last night? Can't anyone admit when they're wrong?"


"Yes, I actually appreciate Yang Hanhan's authenticity even more. No pretense, no acting. Anyway, I also wrongly accused Zhou Chen last night, so I want to apologize to him."


"The singing sensation has put aside her pride and actively posted to apologize to Zhou Chen. What are we waiting for? I also want to apologize to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen, I'm sorry for wrongly accusing you."


...


Under the influence of the singing sensation Yang Hanhan, many netizens left messages apologizing to Zhou Chen under the hashtag.


Soon, the hashtag #ApologiesToZhouChen surged to the top of the trending topics list.


Now, the top three trending topics on Weibo were:


#ApologiesToZhouChen


#ZhouChen'sStatement


#YangHanhanApologizesToZhouChen


This meant that today's top three trending topics on Weibo were still related to Zhou Chen.


--------------------------


The unprecedented phenomenon of a trainee dominating the top spots of the Weibo hot search list attracted the attention of Yang Xiaoying, the boss of Shenghua Entertainment.


She immediately called her assistant, Xiao Wang, and asked, "Xiao Wang, have you heard of someone named Zhou Chen?"


"Of course, he's been trending on Weibo for the past couple of days. But he's very unlucky. Due to someone exposing his song for suspected plagiarism last night, the entire internet gave him low scores for his performance yesterday, so he was eliminated. Even though he issued a statement to prove his innocence, it's too late. He's already out of the list of finalists," Xiao Wang replied.


"What do you think of him? Does he have the potential to be a star?" Yang Xiaoying inquired.


"Definitely. He has the potential to be a superstar. He's incredibly talented, both in terms of looks and skills. Initially, Wanhe Entertainment planned to debut him based on his looks, but with his recent performances, his talent has become even more prominent than his looks. It's just a pity..." Xiao Wang trailed off.


"What's the pity?"


"The pity is that he had a conflict with his agent, who happens to be the wife of the manager of Wanhe Entertainment. So, he's basically not going to get any resources from Wanhe anymore. Now that he's been eliminated and won't return, the most likely outcome when he goes back is being shelved," Xiao Wang explained.


"That's why I called you here. I've also noticed all of this. My idea is to buy out Zhou Chen's contract with Wanhe and then sign him to Shenghua Entertainment," Yang Xiaoying shared her thoughts.


Although Yang Xiaoying was the boss, she was also part of the entertainment industry, albeit more as an actress. Her judgment was sound, and she could tell that Zhou Chen was born for the entertainment industry.


Such talent, if brought to her company, would undoubtedly bring huge profits.


So, she had made up her mind. As long as Zhou Chen was willing, she was willing to pay a high price to buy out his contract with Wanhe.


"Wow, Yang Boss, are you really planning to do this?" Xiao Wang was surprised to hear Yang Xiaoying's decision.


"Yes, I was a bit hesitant yesterday, but seeing him trending again today, I have no more doubts. My instincts tell me that Zhou Chen is destined for the entertainment industry," Yang Xiaoying affirmed.


"To be honest, I have the same feeling. But buying out his contract with Wanhe won't be cheap," Xiao Wang pointed out.


"Sometimes, to gain great rewards, you have to pay a great price. As long as Zhou Chen is willing to come to Shenghua Entertainment, I'm willing to bet any amount of money," Yang Xiaoying declared.


"Alright, then I'll try to find Zhou Chen's contact information and talk to him later to see what he thinks."


Xiao Wang knew that once his female boss had made up her mind, she wouldn't change it. Moreover, he also had high hopes for Zhou Chen's potential, so he didn't try to persuade her further.


At the nursing home, the news of Zhou Chen's elimination had already spread to all the trainees.


Su Qingge felt sorry for Zhou Chen but could do nothing about it. She could only send him a message to comfort him secretly.


But what she didn't know was that Zhou Chen was feeling extremely relaxed at this moment. As long as he proved his innocence and let those who liked and supported him know that he hadn't plagiarized, that would be enough for him. As for whether he could advance or continue to gain fame and debut, he didn't care anymore, nor would it affect his mood.


Although Li Yuan was surprised that Zhou Chen issued a statement explaining that he didn't plagiarize, he knew that Zhou Chen had already been eliminated, achieving the result he wanted. So, he didn't care about the minor flaw in his plan anymore.


After all, what he wanted was for Zhou Chen to be eliminated so that he could become the most prominent trainee of this season.


"Director Zhao, rest assured, without Zhou Chen, I, Li Yuan, will guarantee the ratings for the show," Li Yuan confidently said to Zhao An, who happened to be passing by at the moment.

RAAS **Chapter 2: Talent Show**

 **Chapter 2: Talent Show** Today was the day Li Qing would make his comeback after a year of being sidelined. Through Han Han’s relentless efforts, the company finally relented and allowed Li Qing to participate in "Star of Music"! This meant that today was Li Qing’s first public appearance after being away from the entertainment industry for a whole year. Of course, it could also be his last… If Li Qing’s performance was as disappointing as it was a year ago, he would continue to be sidelined indefinitely until his contract with the company expired. However, this opportunity was more of a desperate measure than a real chance to boost his popularity. Unless he could stun the audience and create a significant impact, his comeback would be short-lived. Given his previous abilities, the likelihood of Li Qing astonishing everyone was slim to none. Moreover, one of the judges this time was Zhao Wendi, a member of the former Fire Boy duo. This was a setup; the company had no inten...
