Chapter 131: Staged Accident

The next day, when Yun Fu arrived at the set, everyone’s eyes were filled with strange emotions as they looked at her.

Some couldn’t help but whisper, “I used to think she was down-to-earth, but I didn’t expect her to stoop so low just to get famous.”

“Stop talking. The director really likes her now. Maybe she’s actually going to become more popular!”

“Huaqing University? Does she think it’s some no-name school? How dare she try to drag their name through the mud? I’m laughing.”

“A shameless person is invincible. See how her team hasn’t come out with any statements all this time? They’re probably tacitly agreeing.”

When netizens woke up, they found that Yun Fu’s side hadn’t issued any explanation about the matter. So the haters all came out, tearing her apart mercilessly.

They called her shameless, accusing her of exploiting Huaqing University to falsely claim the title of top student.

They said she resorted to every trick just to get famous — utterly disgraceful.

Seeing these comments, Yun Fu’s fans came forward to defend her, hoping everyone would believe that she was not the kind of person who would do such things.

Watching this unfold, Qiu Fangfei and Xi Rou’er were overjoyed.

As long as Yun Fu suffered, they were happy.

They even hired trolls to aggressively promote rumors of Yun Fu’s improper relationship with a professor at Huaqing. Some of Qiu Fangfei’s fans, encouraged by subtle hints from her, went directly to Huaqing University’s official social media and demanded the school take action against the allegedly unqualified Professor Chen Qun.

[Yun Fu really hit a wall this time. People are even posting under Huaqing University’s official account. This time she lost everything trying to cheat.]

[Sigh, I’m speechless. If she really had such connections, why wouldn’t she just enter the film academy directly? Why pick a fight with Huaqing University? No one would believe her fake credentials anyway!]

[That’s exactly why she’s trying—because no one believes it, it creates buzz. Didn’t some actress claim she graduated from a famous foreign design school’s architecture program and won awards, only for it to all be exposed as fake later?]

[Some celebrities really stop at nothing for fame. Looks like Yun Fu is one of them. Fans are switching sides.]

Many flocked to Huaqing University’s official account, but the students there remained largely indifferent.

They saw things clearer and were smarter than the fans. Someone worthy of being received by the president and Professor Qin Yi definitely wasn’t involved in any sordid affairs. Besides, they knew their president’s and professor’s characters well.

Some even spoke up for Yun Fu, but no one believed them.

On set, Yun Fu remained completely unfazed by the online turmoil, performing exceptionally well as she filmed the first scene of the day.

Director Liu looked at the bright-eyed girl before him, unable to believe she would stoop to such lengths for fame. He was about to speak to encourage her to stay true to herself.

Before he could say a word, her manager came running over, holding a phone.

Seeing Yun Fu, she broke into a big smile. “Xiaofu, Huaqing University just posted on Weibo. You should share it too.”

Although Qiao An was supposed to manage Yun Fu’s Weibo in the future, most of the time she still handed over control to Yun Fu, giving her enough freedom.

Calmly, Yun Fu took the phone and nodded to Director Liu before walking over to her chair.

She sat down and opened Weibo.

At the very top was Huaqing University’s official account.

Huaqing University: [Welcome Professor Yun Fu to our university. From now on, Huaqing will be your strong backing. May you sail proudly in the sea of art and also shine just as brilliantly in physics.]

Attached was a letter of appointment, stamped with the university’s seal.

It clearly stated that Yun Fu was appointed as an honorary professor at Huaqing University, a lifetime position.

Following that was a physics exam paper, covered with neat yet vigorous handwriting, showing clear answers and formulas.

The formula in question had been verified by multiple parties and would soon be included in textbooks.

All of this was presented in that post.

Yun Fu reposted it with a simple reply: [Keep it up.]

Fans and netizens who had been confused finally snapped back to reality after seeing her Weibo.

So, Huaqing University’s account hadn’t been hacked. That lifetime honorary professor title really was hers?

Because she proposed a formula no one had ever thought of, because her physics was that impressive?

So Yun Fu really joined Huaqing University—not as a student, but as a professor, one who gets paid without teaching classes?

Not only was she fluent in multiple languages, a good actress, and beautiful, but she was truly a super academic genius.

Is she even human? She must be some kind of freak.

[Am I still dreaming? Haven’t woken up yet?]

[So what those Huaqing students said is true. Their president is just and upright, their professors are dedicated to physics, and Yun Fu was recognized solely for her extraordinary physics talent.]

[Holy crap, honorary professor! Yun Fu is only 19! At that age, most people are just starting university. Is she even human?]

[Don’t know if Yun Fu is human, but compared to her, I feel like a pig!]

Yun Fu’s fans went wild, realizing they had supported an incredible idol but never imagined she was this amazing.

Huaqing University, professors—beyond impressive, they had no other words.

[Yun Fu is not human!] That phrase even gained a “breaking news” tag, showing how earth-shattering this was.

Other netizens heading to work or traveling during this time saw the trending topic and thought, “Yun Fu? That celebrity? What terrible thing has she done now?”

Ready to defend justice, they opened the post and...

Sorry, she’s really not human. She might be a god!

From 8 a.m. onward, the online narrative completely shifted. Within a few hours, almost everyone knew there was an actress who was also a professor at Huaqing University.

There were others like this in showbiz, but mostly middle-aged. Yun Fu was so young, with a long future ahead.

Everyone on set looked at Yun Fu differently. Those who had gossiped about her that morning wished they could go back and take back their words.

The happiest of all was Director Liu.

This was free publicity. Later, even casual viewers would come watch the film because of the name Huaqing University alone.

His eyes glowed with warmth as he looked at Yun Fu.

And the protagonist of this whole affair...

She was focused intently on playing games on her phone, occasionally letting out a victorious cheer.
