Chapter 34 Public Challenge

Xiao Qingfeng's fiery response caused a huge sensation and impact online.

Entertainment media outlets reported it as headline news, and various forums and social media platforms were filled with heated discussions about the matter.

Some netizens felt that Xiao Qingfeng was too impulsive and that such a response would damage his image; while others felt that he was straightforward and outspoken, and dared to fight back against disrespect.

Jing Chenxi's fans in the music industry are notoriously extreme and fiercely combative, like mad dogs.

Countless people flooded Xiao Qingfeng's comment section, launching a frenzied personal attack.

"Xiao Qingfeng, you're just a vulgar and uncultured person. How dare you be a singer?"

"You ill-mannered bastard, how dare you work in the entertainment industry? You're polluting this industry!"

"Xiao Qingfeng, your character is just as terrible as your music, utterly worthless!"

"How long do you think you can stay famous with your arrogance? Just wait until everyone despises you!"

"Xiao Qingfeng, you're just a clown, trying to grab attention this way, it's disgusting!"

"You dare treat Xixi like this? You'll get your comeuppance, just you wait and see!"

"Xiao Qingfeng, you're just an uncultured brute who doesn't understand what respect is!"

"You low-quality trash should be banned and disappear from the public eye forever!"

"Xiao Qingfeng, your mouth is so foul, your heart must be black too!"

"You arrogant fool, you'll pay the price for your arrogance sooner or later!"

"You really think you can challenge my brother just because you wrote a few songs? You should take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see if you're even worthy."

......

Xiao Qingfeng's Weibo comment section has been completely overrun, with hundreds of thousands of posts containing insults, and the number continues to grow.

Even if there were a few comments speaking up for Xiao Qingfeng, they were quickly drowned out and then subjected to indiscriminate attacks.

Then, Xiao Qingfeng's fans, feeling wronged, flocked to Xiao Qingfeng's Douyin account to complain.

"Brother Feng, we really can't win an argument with them. There are too many of them, and their mouths are so venomous. We're so wronged!"

"Xiao Qingfeng, we're speaking up for you, but Jing Chenxi's fans are too crazy and they've drowned out our voices. It's so upsetting."

"Qingfeng, we tried our best, but their insults were too nasty, we couldn't handle it at all, we feel so powerless."

“Brother Xiao, those people are unreasonable. We can’t reason with them, and they’ve insulted us so much we’re about to cry.”

"Qingfeng, we support you, but we are really helpless in the face of their attacks. We can't win the argument."

"Xiao Qingfeng, we wanted to help you fight back, but they outnumbered us and our voices were quickly drowned out. It's so frustrating."

"Brother, we tried our best to protect you, but they left us speechless. We felt so wronged and angry!"

"Xiao Qingfeng, Jing Chenxi's fans are terrifying. No matter how much we argue, we can't win. We feel like we're about to explode with anger."

"Qingfeng, we have always believed in you, but we are at a disadvantage in this war of words, and we are filled with grievances."

"Brother Xiao, we really tried our best to reason with them, but they just wouldn't listen and kept cursing. It's so infuriating and frustrating."

Xiao Qingfeng looked at the fans' comments, a slight smile playing on his lips, and replied directly to the comment with the most likes.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action!"

After Xiao Qingfeng finished replying, he took action again on Weibo!

"Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. Keep your dog on a leash @Jingchenxi"

This Weibo post has once again escalated public opinion to a new level.

Xiao Qingfeng's words were truly malicious; he was clearly calling Jing Chenxi's fans dogs, and dogs that were polluting the online environment.

Jing Chenxi's fans were even more enraged, and their attacks on Xiao Qingfeng became even more intense.

"Xiao Qingfeng, you've gone too far! How could you insult me ​​like that!"

"You're ruining your career. Just wait to be blacklisted by the entertainment industry!"

"Xiao Qingfeng, you are beyond saving. You have no manners or upbringing whatsoever!"

"Even if there are conflicts, you shouldn't talk like that; it's so tasteless."

"Xiao Qingfeng's actions are truly shocking and have completely destroyed any goodwill towards him."

But Xiao Qingfeng's fans think he's very tough and continue to support him.

"Brother Qingfeng is so domineering! You can't be weak when dealing with unreasonable people!"

"Support Qingfeng! Those people hurled such nasty insults, they deserve a fight back!"

......

The online feud between Jing Chenxi and Xiao Qingfeng has remained highly popular, consistently topping the entertainment headlines for over 24 hours.

Xia Luan, who had been keeping a close eye on Xiao Qingfeng, was now excited. Xiao Qingfeng had finally met his match.

Regardless of the specifics of Jing Chenxi's songs, his fans are incredibly powerful and his online presence is enormous.

Back then, a veteran in the music industry gave Jing Chenxi, who had only been in the industry for a few years, a kind suggestion: singing should focus on emotional investment, rather than simply showing off skills, or singing for the sake of singing.

Such a fair, objective, and well-intentioned evaluation was met with a barrage of criticism from his fans, ultimately causing the senior to become withdrawn and depressed.

When Xia Luan saw the reply, "@Jing Chenxi, if you're mentally ill, here's two hundred yuan to go to the hospital and see a proctologist. Get your brain fixed before you start talking!", she was completely speechless.

Because Xiao Qingfeng had cursed her like that before!

On second thought, Xiao Qingfeng's anger towards Jing Chenxi turned into a smile. He couldn't do anything to Xiao Qingfeng, but Jing Chenxi was a different story.

Not only is he a top star in the music industry with a huge number of fans, but the capital and family behind him are also not to be underestimated. Destroying Xiao Qingfeng would be as easy as turning one's hand.

Zong Hai, the director of "Singer Who Makes Waves," immediately called Xiao Qingfeng after seeing the incident escalate.

"Qingfeng, you were too impulsive! You shouldn't have provoked Jing Chenxi!"

Xiao Qingfeng didn't care at all, and was even a little excited: "Director Zong, you also know that he provoked me first, not the other way around!"

Zong Hai naturally understood who was right and who was wrong, but the other party was a top star. What could he possibly use to compete with a top star?

“What he said was indeed inappropriate, but you know that Jing Chenxi has a very high status in the music industry and is backed by capital. It would be a loss for you to offend him. In my opinion, you should ask your connections to apologize to him privately and ease the tension!”

Zong Hai was clearly also somewhat wary of the power behind Jing Chenxi.

Xiao Qingfeng sneered: "Director Zong, I may not be able to apologize. I've been sick since I was a child!"

Zong Hai, on the other end of the phone, was taken aback and casually asked, "Sick? What kind of sickness?"

"My bones are too stiff, I can't bend over!"

Zong Hai almost spat out his salt soda. He thought Xiao Qingfeng had some incurable disease and didn't have much time left, so he was fearless. He didn't expect Xiao Qingfeng to say something so shocking.

Before Zong Hai could speak, Xiao Qingfeng interjected, "Director Zong, to be honest, do you really think Jing Chenxi's arrangement skills are very strong?"

In short, it completely crashed Zong Haiwen's system!

In fact, everyone has witnessed Jing Chenxi's ability to change, but it's really just so-so, and most people can't even accept it.

But then again, in any circle, ability is often not the most important thing; having connections and a powerful background is far more crucial.

Jing Chenxi's current status is all thanks to the support of capital. If we're talking about talent and creative ability, Wu Gao, who debuted as an internet celebrity, is far superior to him.

Zong Hai sighed: "But what can we do? Who made him famous? Who made him a top star? What I'm worried about now is that he might retaliate against you. If the capital behind him makes a move, can you withstand it?"

Xiao Qingfeng sneered again: "Director Zong, this is the era of internet self-media. It's no longer the era when capital held the power of discourse. No matter how powerful capital is, can it silence the voices of the people?"

"To be honest, I really want to challenge him, this top star!"

Zong Hai was shocked upon hearing this!

"What...what do you mean?"

"It's simple to calm this storm down: instead of showing weakness, we need to be tough. As long as I can defeat Jing Chenxi on stage, this storm will naturally subside!"

Zong Hai vaguely understood the meaning behind Xiao Qingfeng's words, but he was still greatly shocked to hear Xiao Qingfeng say this.

"You mean you want to challenge Jing Chenxi?"

"Why not? But the prerequisite is your agreement. As long as you agree, I'm confident I can get him to accept my challenge!"

Zong Hai's intelligence is undoubtedly exceptional, which is why he has reached his current position.

Now that Xiao Qingfeng and Jing Chenxi have gotten into this mess, almost everyone on the internet knows about it; not only are netizens paying attention, but people in the entertainment industry are also following it.

If Xiao Qingfeng were to publicly challenge Jing Chenxi at this time, clearly indicating his intention to compete with him on the "Singer Who Makes Waves" stage, it would be tantamount to putting Jing Chenxi in a difficult position.

Given Jing Chenxi's current status and personality, he certainly wouldn't refuse, nor would he dare to refuse.

After all, refusing at this time would be a heavy blow to his popularity and status.

Xiao Qingfeng continued, "Director Zong, please consider this. With such a huge buzz online right now, if I add fuel to the fire and bring Jing Chenxi onto the stage, it would be extremely beneficial for our program!"

Zong Hai quickly considered the pros and cons, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and stamped his foot.

"Okay, I agree to this!"

But he immediately added, "Let me make this clear: neither I nor the production team will get involved in the dispute between you and Jing Chenxi, nor will we take sides!"

"But I can assure you that if Jing Chenxi accepts your challenge, we will do our best to invite him, and we guarantee absolute fairness and impartiality!"

Xiao Qingfeng laughed and said, "That's enough. You don't need to worry about the rest. I'll take care of it!"

Zong Hai gasped, "I will take action again."

Although Xiao Qingfeng's tone was calm and his voice was not loud, it sounded deafening.

Even after hanging up the phone, Xiao Qingfeng's words were still echoing in Zong Hai's mind!

Five minutes later, Xiao Qingfeng indeed made his move again!

"Let's see what you're made of. I'll be waiting for you on the 'Singer Who Makes Waves' stage. Dare to try? @JingChenxi"

This news caused an even greater uproar than before, truly an earthquake in the music industry!

Soon, a news item titled "[Xiao Qingfeng Openly Challenges Jing Chenxi, Will the Number One Young Singer in the Chinese Music Scene Accept the Challenge?]" became a trending topic!

At this moment, the entire internet is waiting for Jing Chenxi's response!
