The onlookers, keyboard warriors, and marketing accounts all scoffed at the Weibo post, offering constant sarcastic remarks.
It wasn't surprising they didn't believe it, given the Lvmh Group's immense market capitalization and overwhelming influence.
As the king of global luxury goods, the Lvmh Group's annual net profit was astronomically high.
Whenever luxury goods were mentioned, the company was invariably brought up.
If Jiang Ling were truly a major shareholder of a luxury group, she would have been swaggering through the entertainment industry, not repeatedly targeted with malicious rumors.
Fake news!
It must be fabricated news spun out of desperation by Jiang Ling trying to clear her name!
Just then, Jian Zhou stepped forward, liked the Weibo post, and commented, "I believe her!"
After commenting, he even reposted it to his fan groups.
Jiang Ling was startled and quickly called him. "Quick, quickly take it back!"
On the other end of the line, Jian Zhou frowned. "Why?"
"Why? Are you saying my notoriety isn't enough? If you do this, my fans will tear me apart!"
The explosive success of "Da Tang Shuang Sheng" had propelled Jian Zhou's popularity to new heights, making him an undisputed top-tier celebrity.
His devoted fans were now nearly as numerous as Jiang Ling's.
Fans who were obsessed with looks were often unreasonable. The moment they discovered their idol had a relationship with someone, they would react as if they had caught their husband in a hotel room with a mistress, feeling betrayed and exploding instantly.
Jian Zhou, however, said slowly, word by word, "We are a couple, and we should face difficulties together. Let's use this opportunity to clarify everything, so as to avoid future trouble."
The public announcement of an idol's relationship was typically followed by a trifecta of unfollowing, backlash, and insults.
This was precisely why management companies repeatedly stipulated in contracts that dating was forbidden, and public disclosure even more so, with astronomical compensation for violations.
Jian Zhou was different; he never considered himself an idol. His roles in "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog" and "Da Tang Shuang Sheng" were out of necessity.
His primary focus remained managing family businesses and financial investments. Acting was merely a pastime. Whether fans followed him or slandered him, he didn't care.
After listening, Jiang Ling fell silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, since my artist contract doesn't prohibit the disclosure of relationships, let's go down in flames together!"
Thus, Jiang Ling added to the Weibo post Jian Zhou had reposted, "Your belief is my greatest comfort!"
Jiang Ling, being a top-tier celebrity among top-tier celebrities, possessed immense popularity and massive influence.
When the negative news of her being a kept woman broke, the Weibo servers experienced extreme load.
Now, with Jian Zhou eagerly fanning the flames and proactively defending Jiang Ling, implicitly admitting their relationship, his fans went into an uproar.
Following the eruption of Jian Zhou's fans, the already strained servers finally succumbed to the overwhelming traffic and crashed.
The distressed programmers had to work overtime to repair them, simultaneously consuming popcorn and cursing.
After her phone call with Jiang Ling, Wu Yue had intended to wait for Jiang Ling to post her clarifying Weibo, then repost and comment to officially confirm her major shareholder status.
The heads of Kering Group and Richemont Group had also prepared their statements to support Jiang Ling.
However, plans didn't account for Jian Zhou's drastic move, which directly crippled the servers.
Damn it, they hadn't even posted their Weibo yet, and the servers had already crashed. Weren't they reliable enough?
If the programmers knew their thoughts, they would surely be furious and spewing profanities.
