Defamation

As Jian Yiling never applied for a Weibo account, she did not really know about her fans on the Internet.1

However, a recent incident related to her fans pushed her into the limelight.

One of Jian Yiling's loyal fans did something that made netizens sick with disgust.

This fan was an IT teacher. In his class, he asked his students to log onto the game Zerg Invasion to join his team.

Furthermore, he made his students play the game during class to win matches together.

After this matter was exposed on the Internet, this teacher was scolded by all the netizens.

However, the teacher insisted that he did nothing wrong. After all, Jian Yiling was good at studying and she was also good at playing games. Therefore, studying and playing games did not conflict with each other. What was wrong with letting his students study whilst gaming?

After this, a group of people that claimed to be fans of Jian Yiling supported the teacher. They expressed their standpoint on this matter and started arguing with the rest of the Internet.

[Jian Yiling is everyone's role model when it comes to studying. The teacher is merely combining education and entertainment. He's not doing anything wrong.]

[The people who are scolding Jian Yiling should look at themselves first.]

[Jian Yiling is an excellent role model. If we don't learn from her, are we meant to learn from you keyboard warriors?]

And thus, these so-called fans caused Jian Yiling to be disliked by a lot of individuals on the Internet. It also destroyed the good reputation that Jian Yiling had gained. This caused Jian Yiling's popularity to plummet.

This caused more and more people to join in on the argument.

As both sides were arguing incredibly fiercely, some people demanded Jian Yiling come out and apologize.

However, at this time, Jian Yiling was still unaware of the matter.

Jian Yiling's delayed response gave the netizens another reason to verbally attack her.

After all, idols and role models often had to be responsible for their fans.

A large number of comments on the Internet said that Jian Yiling was responsible for her fans' behaviors. It was her bad influence that caused all of this.

And thus, the Internet was filled with angry criticism.

[Jian Yiling brings disaster! As a role model, she should lead by example! However, she's leading others astray!]

[This happens so often nowadays. Children are behaving poorly these days because they're just focused on chasing celebrities. Like how is Jian Yiling a role model even?]

[I strongly request the Internet to block off these bad role models.]

[My child was influenced as well! He was determined to play games. He told me that gaming would not affect his studies. However, gaming caused him to drop from the top ten in his class to the top thirty! This is all because of Jian Yiling!]

[I request for Jian Yiling to be banned from the public eye! Don't let her appear again.]

Jian Yiling only learned about this matter after she received a call from Qin Yufan.

"Oh my goodness. Everyone is cursing at you on the Internet! Do you actually not know about this? Do you not use the Internet or something?"

Although Qin Yufan was telling Jian Yiling off, she still cared about her. If she didn't care about her, she wouldn't have called Jian Yiling during her work hours.

"I do use the Internet. However, I'm not interested in that part of the Internet," Jian Yiling replied. She used professional forums and academic-related websites. She wasn't interested in using Weibo.

"Then do you plan to look at it now?"

"Nope," Jian Yiling replied indifferently.

"What about Master Sheng? Does he not go on the Internet either?"

Qin Yufan searched up Jian Yiling's name on Weibo. As a result, she knew that Jian Yiling did not have a Weibo account. On the other hand, Zhai Yunsheng had a Weibo account. He recently registered for one. He even posted the message: [Already married, please do not disturb.]
