Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day

Chapter 10: Start the Face Slapping

Shen Jintai, who had been silent for two years recently made a lot of small movements.

"Shen Jintai is really going to make a comeback. The recent hype has been wave after wave."

"Are you in the DGLL group?"

"Can the cuckoo upstairs not use abbreviations? Every time I visit your group, it takes me a long time to solve your codes!"

"I don't know why this information is spreading or cared about. Even if he hasn't been unruly, it's impossible for him to act in the same drama with Bai Yueguang, right?"

"Why is it spreading? Ha, ha, ha! What else could he do besides rub off the heat from Bai Yueguang in order to make a comeback. The gold powder will cue Baiyueguang's whole family crematorium*!"

*Clarity: I think it's referring to gold fans wronging Bai Qingquan and will eventually see the errors of their ways and seek his forgiveness.

"With his current popularity, would Bai Yueguang let his nemesis rub heat off him. Don't think too much about it. It must be fake!"

"Moonlight powders are also shameless. The likes of Shen Touhua may not bother to lift Qingquan's sedan chair."

"The information about the TV series is fake, but Shen Jintai's comeback must be true. His Weibo has just opened again. He hasn't been active on Weibo for several years, yet suddenly there's been a huge spike of activity. He must be making a comeback!"

"What's the meaning behind Shen Jintai's recent Weibo post? Is it related to his nickname?"

"Hahaha, I can't believe you don't even know. It's true what you said. There's really is a big red flower on his head!"

"Is he going to rely on self-blackening then whitewashing*?"

*Black = slandering and creating or spreading negative information to defame someone or some projects, usually done by anti-fans. Self-blackening is doing it yourself.
*Whitewashing = deliberately mislead people in various ways, causing the people to forget a celebrity's bad past. For instance, a celebrity with lots of scandals may whitewash themselves by doing a lot of charity work. Eventually, people will be overwhelmed with their positive energy and forget their past scandals.

"Can he even whitewash? Gay stone hammer*!"

*Stone hammer (石锤) = is slang referring to conclusive evidence.
*Clarity: He's saying there's irrefutable evidence he's gay so it can't be whitewash. Since being gay is taboo in the entertainment industry, he won't be able to deny his sexual orientation.

"Is there anyone in the entertainment industry more disgusting than him? He bought all those black material to slander Bai Qingquan. Did the gold powder forgot the origin of the name of your family's Shen Touhua?!"

When Shen Jintai went online, he was scolded so badly he quickly turned off his phone.

His tried-and-tested actor's tricks didn't work anymore!

"You still shouldn't post on Weibo right now. I think many people have guessed that you're going to act in the East Palace." Li Meilan said on the phone: "Bear it for a few more days. Friday will be the opening conference. We'll try to make a splash then."

Before the official comeback, they should remain silent. Shen Jintai's popularity was currently too low. To get any traction, they'll need hot spots but too much movement will look abnormal. Netizens will suspect that it was fake news.

Now that the heat was rising, they would break the news directly at the right time. In the past, Shen Jintai had naturally made it to the top of the hot searches before. Li Meilan felt that she didn't need to buy marketing accounts to push news of his comeback. The natural heat would detonate the hot search organically.
