To be honest, before the children went out, Ji Mochen and his wife were already a little worried that their daughter would be photographed again.
It wasn't that Ji Mochen was too confident about his own fame, it was mainly because his daughter's movie that she only appeared in for three minutes two years ago was too famous.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that this time, it wasn't just Ji Ruochu who went viral, but every single one of the students in Xiaoi's class went viral in an explosive way.
It all started with the children going on an autumn field trip together...
The location of this league tournament was set in Y City. When the children decided to take a half-day trip around Y City, they seriously studied the cultural features of this city.
Finally, the children set the location of their autumn outing to a secluded scenic spot in Y City.
One reason was that this was the former residence of the red capitalist who donated most of his assets to build up the country back in the day.
Another reason was that this place had relatively low visitor traffic, so touring it wouldn't take up too much time.
But who could have imagined that the local government happened to be vigorously promoting this former residence recently, and even had a special TV program to record it.
As a result, the ten teenagers who looked like the most stunning people in the crowd were captured by the camera.
In the footage, a group of lively and cheerful students were discussing the preservation of the former residence in twos and threes.
When the camera zoomed in a little more, it even recorded the children's detailed knowledge about this place.
The director behind the scenes had only wanted to casually film the few students present in the scenic area.
But as it turned out, not only did they manage to film students with extraordinary temperament and outstanding looks, they had also unintentionally recorded the children's well-informed words.
Among these people, Ji Ruochu, Fang Zhiyuan and Jiang Zhi were the most prominent.
There's no need to elaborate on Ji Ruochu - after all, with her absolute beauty that could light up the big screen, even a simple tracksuit and ponytail made her shine in the crowd.
As for Fang Zhiyuan and Jiang Zhi, one was a handsome youth who was extremely popular among middle-aged mothers and older sisters despite his young age. The other possessed the elegance of a fairy even as a child.
To exaggerate a bit, if these two were a little older, they could easily compete for a C-list spot on the most popular talent shows today.
Of course, that wasn't the point right now. The point was, after the carefree children returned home, although their footage in the promotional video was only a few seconds, their smug discussion still stirred up a storm on the Internet.
At first, netizens were lamenting how knowledgeable kids nowadays were. Then slowly, netizens began saying that this was a staged act with tourists specially arranged by the local government.
Some even posted screenshots of government staff inviting well-known bloggers to go sightseeing in exchange for payment.
Although the blogger in question quickly clarified that he had visited the scenic area for free, netizens were already suspicious about this clip.
Right at this moment, some netizens recognized Ji Ruochu in the video, and that was when things really spiraled out of control, causing the trending topic that was barely contained at first to completely blow up.
[Isn't this ridiculous? It really is just hype?]
[Tsk tsk, what to do now? I just beat up my son who only likes playing games because of this news. Now that it's like this...I'm finding it hard to back down.]
[...]
[The Ji Emperor really wants his daughter to enter the entertainment industry at all costs! He won't miss any opportunity to get Ji Ruochu into the public eye!]
[Ugh, unbelievable! The more this happens, the more I dislike this family. From now on, any work this kid stars in, I won't watch!]
[...]
Although there were people speaking up for Ji Mochen and his daughter, the more this happened, the more netizens began to boycott them, with an "I'm not listening no matter what you say" attitude.
Even though the Ji family had issued a statement at the first instance, ...it didn't have much credibility now, and the comments section was still filled with ridicule.
Not only were netizens mocking Ji Mochen, they didn't spare the Y City Bureau of Culture and Tourism either.
One moment they were saying the tickets at the scenic spot were overpriced, the next moment they were saying Y City was being too shameless now, telling them to just promote properly without doing staged shoots.
After witnessing everything, Ji Mochen: ...Screw this, these people are insane!
