Sister Sa had worked at Spark Media for so many years that she knew the company's usual behavior and Lu Wenwen's true capabilities.
If Spark Media wasn't behind the massive trending topic this time, she wouldn't believe it even if she were killed.
Jiang Ling shared Sister Sa's view, both believing Spark Media was behind the malicious actions.
However, her perspective was a bit deeper.
Given Spark Media's modus operandi, if they were truly confident in crushing her this time, they would have directly confronted her instead of hiding behind the scenes to support Lu Wenwen.
What were Zheng Yueshan, Wang Tian, and the others so wary of?
Right, Wang Jianzhong!
Wang Jianzhong likely possessed evidence for a counterattack.
Spark Media was hesitant to act, fearing damage to the company's reputation, which was why they used Lu Wenwen as a pawn.
If they successfully managed to "crush" her this time, then so be it.
But if they failed, only Lu Wenwen would suffer the consequences, while they could retreat unscathed, acting as if nothing had happened, and continue with their business as usual.
With this thought, Jiang Ling immediately called Wang Jianzhong.
Wang Jianzhong also found himself caught in the tide of public opinion at this moment. He was infuriated by Lu Wenwen's distortion and malicious misrepresentation of facts.
He knew the entertainment industry was rife with corruption and that vile individuals were everywhere.
Yet, he never imagined that Lu Wenwen, such a young girl, could harbor such malice.
When he had expelled Lu Wenwen from the film crew earlier, his ancestors for eighteen generations had been subjected to incessant curses from her deluded fans.
At the time, he was busy filming and couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
Upon receiving Jiang Ling's call, Wang Jianzhong's tone was serious, "Don't worry, I'll handle this matter properly."
Jiang Ling pressed for details, "How do you plan to handle it?"
"Four words: Fight them head-on!" Wang Jianzhong declared decisively.
Hearing this, Jiang Ling's face lit up with a smile, "It seems I'm in for a good show."
"Yes, it's going to be a spectacular show. You don't need to do anything, just watch quietly. Leave the rest to me!"
After hanging up, Wang Jianzhong's stern face instantly darkened.
He walked to his computer, opened a document editor, and began his counterattack.
On Jiang Ling's end, having received Wang Jianzhong's assurance, she turned her attention back to Weibo, letting go of all other concerns.
As comments flooded in, she finally understood how Spark Media was manipulating online trolls to attack her.
Jiang Ling had successfully shed the stigma of poor acting by portraying characters like the Heavenly Mountain Child Elder and Zhao Hede.
She had also regained three to four tenths of the fans and popularity she had lost due to the widespread online negativity.
At her peak, her traffic was immensely powerful, capable of dominating any platform.
Although she now only had three to four tenths, she wasn't someone that Lu Wenwen and the keyboard warriors hiding behind their screens could easily slander.
The reason for this was the exceptional portrayal of Zhao Hede.
Her acting was so good, and the character so vivid, that it easily led audiences and fans to conflate the character with the real person, blurring the lines between the role and reality.
The most classic example was Teacher Li Mingqi, who was truly an artist of integrity and virtue.
However, because she played Rong Mo Mo so well, many people couldn't distinguish between the fictional character and reality. They believed she was a bad person, were refused rides when taking taxis, and even had rotten eggs thrown at her in the wet market.
Jiang Ling, with her solid acting skills honed over decades, had vividly embodied Zhao Hede's seductiveness, madness, and ruthlessness.
