The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Return to the Rich Family (Translated)

Chapter 80

Chapter 80

Seeing how many people online were outraged and cursing Lu Yao, Xia Yue was not satisfied. She wanted Lu Yao to be completely ruined, so she called Liu Gang.

After their call ended, Liu Gang, who had always been envious of Lu Yao, posted a lengthy message on his Weibo account.

In the post, Liu Gang implied that he and Xia Yue had been subjected to emotional abuse and psychological bullying from Lu Yao during the filming of their show. The show's staff and other guests, due to Lu Yao's family background, either exacerbated the situation or chose to ignore it.

He claimed that only now, with Lu Yao's scandal exposed, did he muster the courage to speak out against Lu Yao's bullying behavior and the show's inaction. At the end of his post, he announced his withdrawal from the show due to his disappointment with the production team.

Xia Yue also reposted Liu Gang's Weibo, commenting, "Justice will prevail, and time will reveal the truth. For some undisclosed reasons, I also choose to withdraw from the show."

These were the only two guests who had spoken out since Lu Yao's incident.

Xia Yue didn't care about the show's reaction. If there was any blame, it was on them for inviting Lu Yao in the first place; if they hadn't invited him, they wouldn't be implicated now.

Xia Yue's and Liu Gang's fans, enraged by their statements, flooded the show's Weibo with angry comments.

【Firmly oppose continuing the show!】

【The show must be canceled!】

【Trash director! Trash production team!】

【Get Lu Yao off the show!】

【The production team and Lu Yao must publicly apologize to Xia Yue!】

【A disgusting bunch of trash!】

【I wondered why the other participants never interacted with Xia Yue and Liu Gang; turns out they are all a bunch of sycophants!】

【Demanding the production team and every guest to apologize to Xia Yue and Liu Gang! No apology, no end to the boycott!】

**...

Seeing the vulgar comments under the production team's Weibo, the overweight director was livid.

Key staff members of the production team gathered in the meeting room.

A female assistant director, looking distressed, asked, "What should we do now? If the show is canceled, we will have to compensate the sponsors with huge penalties."

The production team was already stressed from Lu Yao's negative news, and now with Liu Gang and Xia Yue adding fuel to the fire, it felt like disaster upon disaster. They hadn't done anything against these two, so why were they now being kicked when they were down?

The overweight director, frustrated, ran a hand through his hair.

"We can't let them control the narrative like this. We've done everything by the book; there's no way we've bullied anyone. If anyone's been bullying, it's definitely Xia Yue with the biggest attitude in the crew."

The female assistant director, looking worried, said, "Even if we issue a statement, it might not calm things down. Our response might be seen as defending Lu Yao. Since Lu Yao is almost becoming an online martyr, any defense we offer might make things worse."

The director sighed. "Have we received any response from Lu Yao's side? I still can't believe he could be the kind of person people are describing online."
