NOVEL NEXT Chapter 406 I Apologize for My Husband
So, these jewelry groups went straight to hiring an internet water army to sway public opinion in the live stream.
They intended to make the Fang Family Jewelry Store's method unable to play too big a role.
As expected.
Because of these netizens' comments entering the live stream, other viewers also started to sense something was not right.
Yes, indeed.
Although Wang Ye is indeed very handsome,
the key issue is that Wang Ye doesn't know how to cut the stones, which means his presence in the Fang Family Jewelry Store live stream is merely for the sake of popularity.
To put it bluntly, it's just for advertising.
So for a moment, many netizens in the live stream got caught up in this narrative:
"I didn't expect the Fang Family Jewelry Store to have this kind of mindset, and for Wang Ye to even accept this idea, that's really beneath him."
"I used to think so highly of Wang Ye, but today, after seeing his actions, I'm utterly disappointed in him."
Although some viewers in the live stream got affected by this sentiment, there were still others who supported Wang Ye, willing to trust him.
"How can you be so sure that Wang Ye doesn't know how to cut stones? Wang Ye knows everything, and cutting a stone is just a trivial matter for him."
"Right, Wang Ye even knows Traditional Chinese Medicine, so cutting a stone is no challenge at all."
And some netizens in the live stream, despite their support for Wang Ye, felt quite uncertain and chose to stay quiet for the time being, waiting to see Wang Ye's performance.
Amidst the various opinions in the live stream, Wang Ye began to cut the stone.
The camera in the Fang Family Jewelry Store live stream focused on Wang Ye's face, which appeared extremely calm. He did not use simple tools like the other contestants cutting stones.
And this scene made the onlookers outside, who were paying attention, scoff even more.
In the Fang Family Jewelry Store's live stream, those manipulating public opinion felt even more delighted when they saw Wang Ye's movements.
Just Wang Ye's initial move was enough to signify one thing: Wang Ye utterly lacked the skill to cut stones.
They had been worried earlier about being proven wrong by Wang Ye, for instance, if it turned out he actually could cut stones.
But at this moment, they realized they didn't have to worry about that happening at all.
Why worry?
Wang Ye was utterly clueless!
Thus, these opinion-swaying netizens in the live stream became even more unrestrained.
"Look at how the other contestants cut stones and now look at Wang Ye. Even the way Wang Ye initially handled the stone was different. Do you really think Wang Ye knows anything about cutting stones?"
"Right, normally when cutting stones, other equipment is used first, and judging from Wang Ye's movements, they were wrong from the get-go."
"They could at least pretend to perform well, but they didn't even bother to act, which shows they don't really consider any of you fans as humans but merely as traffic for popularity."
These water army members spoke up, and combined with the fact that even Wang Ye's supporters in the live stream started noticing that his posture indeed differed from the other contestants, they suddenly felt disappointed.
And the barrage of comments posted by these water army members also made them think more deeply.
Yes, that's right.
Their support for Wang Ye was just one-sided.
Wang Ye didn't really care about them at all.
It was only because they could provide some popularity for Wang Ye.
Otherwise, why wouldn't Wang Ye even pretend under such circumstances?
If Wang Ye had just acted a little, they would have felt some comfort because it would imply that he cared about them in his heart.
But now, Wang Ye hadn't even made the slightest pretense.
Just when the netizens were feeling downhearted, Wang Ye had already begun his work.
His technique was unexpectedly skilled, and in cutting the stone, there was an artistic quality to it.
His hands danced over the stone, seemingly moving faster than the contestants using machines.
And at this pace, every detail of Wang Ye's work was done just right.
The way Wang Ye cut the stones made the viewers in the live stream become almost mesmerized.
Wang Ye's handsome features and the serious expression on his face while cutting stones formed an incredibly appealing scene.
One that was truly mesmerizing.
In no time, a radiant green jade appeared before everyone, and among all the participating jewelry groups, Wang Ye's was the first to reveal jade.
So the moment the jade appeared, the judge's attention, all the on-site observers, and the cameras of the national jewelry competition live stream, were all trained on Wang Ye's side.
"Jade has appeared! Unexpectedly, in the second round of the jewelry competition, the first to reveal jade is the Fang Family Jewelry Store!"
"Let's take a look at what quality of jade the Fang Family Jewelry Store has produced."
Seeing Wang Ye's highly skilled stone-cutting technique, and his direct extraction of jade, the uncomfortable feelings that the netizens had just a moment ago evaporated instantly.
It turns out they had misunderstood Wang Ye earlier.
If Wang Ye was as incapable as those water army members who suddenly poured in had claimed, then how do you explain the current piece of jade?
And how do you explain their rapt attention during the live stream just now?
So the fans from the Fang Family Jewelry Store who supported Wang Ye all began to speak up, launching bullet-screen comments in the live stream once again.
"Didn't you just say that Wang Ye can't cut stones? But the skill he displayed just now is simply admirable at a glance."
"Right, you so-called haters just can't stand to see someone do well; in truth, our Wang Ye husband is the most amazing."
"I apologize for not believing in Wang Ye husband earlier, I can't believe I doubted him, it was all my fault, from now on I'll only trust Wang Ye husband!"
