Chapter 176: Chapter 174: Doctor Wen’s Backing Is Too Strong

The leader wanted to speak with Wen Ying.

Wen Ying took the phone without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Old Jiang and Old Ye stood up and left the clinic.

Ten minutes later, Wen Ying hung up the phone.

The leader was quite amiable and had agreed to her requests.

Less than half an hour after Old Jiang and Old Ye left, Wen Ying received a notification from the platform that her ban had been lifted.

Just then, a new hashtag, #TheDisappearanceOfDoctorWensLivestream, started trending.

Netizens had already noticed that the previous topics had vanished and related keywords were being censored. Even in private group chats, those words were now blocked.

#TheDisappearanceOfDoctorWensLivestream

[I always thought this streamer was way too arrogant. Well, look what happened. She must have offended someone she shouldn’t have, right?]

[She was trending every other day. If she wasn’t paying for it, I’ll eat my own shit!]

[You have to know when to stop. She had no self-control, and now she’s turned everyone against her, hasn’t she?]

[Doesn’t this streamer have a huge flock of fans, or should I say worshippers? What happened? Are they useless now?]

When people noticed the trending topics disappearing and Wen Ying’s stream getting banned, many guessed which way the wind was blowing from the top!

This Doctor Wen has definitely been canceled!

No celebrity who had faced this situation before ever managed to return to the industry or appear before the public again. They all ended up just like Wen Ying now.

[HAHAHA! Didn’t she steal that A-lister’s trending spot before? Now she’s getting what she deserves!]

[Remember how she dissed those two pretty-boy celebrities? Look at them now—they’re more famous than ever, and she’s just disappeared!]

[Isn’t this streamer supposed to have some real skills? Why doesn’t she cast a spell or draw a talisman to change her fate? Did her scriptwriter run off too?]

[Shark TV’s top streamer, vanishing into the dust of history just like that. This is a lesson to everyone: don’t be so arrogant, and don’t take what isn’t yours.]

Plenty of celebrities were jealous of Wen Ying’s trending status or hated her for snatching their spots. After learning which way the official winds were blowing, they organized campaigns in their fan club group chats to mock and attack Wen Ying under the new hashtag.

It was payback time.

Furthermore, Wen Ying’s Weibo account also showed that it had been suspended.

And so, the evidence regarding her fate seemed conclusive.

There was no need for further confirmation.

"Shark TV Top Streamers Group 2"

Streamer A: I thought she’d last at least a year or so. It’s only been a few months and she’s already washed up.

Streamer B: I knew there was something off about her last time. She’s so standoffish. How dare she steal an A-lister’s trending spot and provoke big shots with powerful backers like Zhong Haocun and Zhu Hua Han? Wasn’t she just asking for it?

Streamer C: This is great news for everyone! The platform totally miscalculated this time, didn’t they? Every time she went live, she got the best promotional spot! Serves them right. Their little plan backfired, and now we can finally stream normally.

Streamer D: I think so too. She sucked up more than half of the platform’s traffic by herself! My heart was in my throat every time I went live!

Group Admin: It was a bit of a miscalculation. I thought she had real potential, but I never expected her to fall so quickly.

Streamer E: Anyway, for those with a grudge, now’s the time to settle it. Go on, let off some steam.

The engagement numbers for the hashtag about Wen Ying were skyrocketing like a rocket.

Her fans, who were already worried about the stream ban, were now in great distress.

If they couldn’t post on her stream or Weibo, they would have no way to contact Doctor Wen.

The fan group moderators were reminding everyone to stay calm and not to cause any trouble for Doctor Wen at such a critical time.

Everyone was obedient, but seeing the flood of negative comments, they couldn’t suppress the rage burning in their hearts.

After her stream was unbanned, Wen Ying received another notification: her Weibo account had also been reinstated.

She logged into Weibo and saw the trending topic about her disappearance, her expression completely unfazed.

Most of the people attacking her were fans of those celebrities, clout-chasers trying to ride her coattails for a traffic boost, and a handful of clueless keyboard warriors.

Psychologist Wen Ying V: Been a bit busy lately. See you tonight, Fireflies.

Wen Ying’s single post instantly went viral, shooting to the top of the trending list!

This topic blew up even faster than the one about her disappearance. After all, this was someone that everyone—except her own fans—had assumed was permanently canceled. And now, she had suddenly reappeared? 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

It hadn’t even been two days, had it? How could it be so dramatic?

Was Weibo’s ban just a joke?

Should they expect an apology from Weibo’s staff now?

What did "see you tonight" mean?

A stream tonight?

She hadn’t moved to another platform, which meant she was still on Shark TV. But hadn’t Shark TV banned her?

Had Shark TV unbanned her too?

Everyone had been completely wrong!

It wasn’t that this streamer had no connections!

It was that her connections were too powerful!

She didn’t even wait for the controversy and public opinion to cool down before slowly easing her way back. Instead, she just dropped in with a high-profile comeback!

Usually, when a celebrity in this situation wanted to make a comeback, even with powerful connections, they would have to wait for the storm to pass, until people had mostly forgotten about the incident.

Then they would gradually reappear, little by little, testing the waters.

Not like Wen Ying, who made a trending topic out of her very first appearance back.

Was she just too arrogant, or were her connections just that strong?

Unlike the haters, the fans of other celebrities, and the neutral observers, the ones who were happiest right now were, of course, the Fireflies.

[Doctor Wen is finally back! I’m giving away money to celebrate! I’ll pick five people who retweet my pinned post and give each of them a thousand in cash!]

[All you gloating haters, did you see that? DID YOU SEE THAT? Our Doctor Wen got canceled? That’s the joke of the year!]

[SHOCKING! Doctor Wen’s epic comeback leaves top streamers in tears! The real reason is...]

[The person above should go work for Buzzfeed’s clickbait department. So talented!]

[I’m camping out for Doctor Wen’s stream tonight, no matter what!]

Meanwhile, the streamers in the group chat who had been plotting their revenge all went silent.

Group Admin: Forget it. You really can’t judge this Doctor Wen by normal standards. From now on, we won’t discuss her in this group.

For once, no one argued.

They had been in this industry long enough to see many people go through the same thing, but none of them had ever ended well.

How had Doctor Wen become the sole exception?

There was only one explanation: her connections were just too strong.

She wasn’t someone they could afford to cross.

They hadn’t gotten to their current positions by being fools.

After posting the message, Wen Ying logged out of Weibo. ’I should probably do a giveaway during the stream tonight,’ she thought.

’The Fireflies have been so well-behaved and didn’t cause any trouble. They deserve a reward.’

But Wen Ying racked her brain and still couldn’t think of a suitable prize, so she decided to just stop thinking about it for now.

’I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.’

Thankfully, the system remained silent this time and didn’t trigger any compulsory missions. That meant tonight’s stream would be completely under her control.

With a few hours of free time, Wen Ying took out the items from Uncle Zhang’s place and prepared to get to work.
