The netizens were dumbfounded, unable to keep up with all the revelations about Sophie Scott, one bombshell after another. Meanwhile, the internet was buzzing with discussions on the matter. [UU is truly done for. Plagiarism was one thing, but nobody knew who she was. Then she revealed her identity and credentials, this girl is really finished.] [I mentioned before, in an interview there were implications that Zero plagiarized, and the guy who pointed this out was criticized into silence.] [This girl is really something—smart and vicious. How did she manage to smear Zero effortlessly on camera?] [UU single-handedly ruined the reputation of Capital Uni, impressive.] [She’s being cursed by the alumni of Capital Uni in private. Making such a scene, she probably doesn’t dare to show herself now. I heard she has two exams coming up, but she’ll skip them and disappear from sight, unreachable by anyone.] [Uncle, I was wrong. I won’t ever chase wildflowers again. Although you aren’t much to look at and even resemble a crusty old man, I’ll forever be a fan of your talent!] The issue has escalated to an alarming degree, with a terrifying number of people paying attention, both online and offline. Every major website and forum had discussions about it, turning it into the hottest topic of the year. Now it’s a situation where "UU is being thrashed," and after netizens finish ridiculing and laughing, they’re finding it dull and starting to dig into the scoop behind Zero and UU, like "do Zero and UU know each other," "what’s Zero really like in private," and "joking about Zero bullying a young girl." Posts like these are maintaining high popularity online. The source of thɪs content is NoveIꜰire.net With Zero maintaining a mysterious identity and never showing his face, the public inevitably holds strong curiosity and begins speculating about his identity. [Previously saying Zero is a crusty old man was just a joke among netizens, but given how vicious he is to the young girl, it’s starting to seem true that he’s a heartless crusty old man.] [He posted a picture two years ago, at three in the morning, camping with a group in the desert, empty bottles scattered everywhere. Everyone photographed was just a silhouette, all tall and strong, probably including him.] [This guy is definitely single, privately an absolute nightmare to deal with.] [Based on the clues from his social media, it’s easy to surmise: his private life is chaotic, he stays up late drinking, unkempt with a full beard, roams the world without caring about appearances... I’m doomed, this damn man is too charismatic. Even , I want to be a fan of his.] [The dreamboat handsome guy or charming middle-aged uncle the fans fantasize about is definitely non-existent. Honestly, my expectations for him are low—as long as he tidies himself up, it’s already not bad. Considering his traveling experiences, maybe his body shape is decent, but who knows after these two years. Plus, he never shows his face, which seems like a cover-up, it’s normal if he’s ordinary-looking.] [So what if he’s ordinary-looking? Uncle doesn’t need looks to be useful, having talent is enough.] As more and more people discussed the posts, their popularity soared and they quickly made the trending list. The analysis by these people was thorough, and gradually, in the minds of netizens, Zero’s image became "a rough man in his forties or fifties, single, unkempt, a drinker, with various bad habits." Uninformed netizens, after entering the posts and backing out, already had a fixed image of Zero in their minds—— He’s undoubtedly a scruffy old man. Nathan Salt barely pushed the door open when he heard the sound of documents being slammed on the desk, scaring him so much that his legs went weak, almost kneeling at the doorway. Then he looked at Mr. Langley in front of the desk, his expression gloomy, staring at the computer screen, eyes sharp, his whole body emitting a chill. With a glance from him, Nathan’s scalp tingled as if he had brushed past death’s edge. Steadying his knees, Nathan walked in respectfully and called out, "Mr. Langley." Pedro Langley furrowed his brows, his cold gaze sweeping over. "All the copies of ’Little White Dove’ have arrived—Fernwood, Cool Ridge, and Victor each have one. The photos are done too. When do you plan to launch the joint promotion?" Nathan asked cautiously. All along, Nathan thought his focus would be on Nora Scott. Unexpectedly, lately, Pedro Langley has become fascinated with Zero’s works, and now as the manager of the entertainment company’s PR department, he’s racking his brain on a promotion plan for a comic book artist’s sales. If it weren’t for the high salary... Thinking about the salary, Nathan forcibly swallowed his bitterness and complaints.
