After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 332: Overwhelming Mockery and Negative Criticism

Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Overwhelming Mockery and Negative Criticism

To be exact, Lu Sheng and Lan Yu foresaw that their Weibo post would provoke mockery and criticism, but they hadn’t anticipated a tempest of it flooding in like it is now.

At ten in the morning, Lu Sheng was awakened by Lan Yu.

Upon checking Weibo, the post she made last night had unexpectedly garnered several hundred thousand views overnight, with tens of thousands of replies.

Even the topic #LuShengLanXing# had been bumped to the third spot on the trending searches.

Lu Sheng had only registered her Weibo account last night and wasn’t even a member yet.

Even though she retweeted the original post from Jiang City Daily and used the trending topic, it wasn’t supposed to skyrocket in views so suddenly.

The reason for the overnight spike in views was that at 1:30 am today, a medical big V with over three million followers retweeted Lu Sheng’s post.

The accompanying text was only two sentences, but filled with disdain and sarcasm—

[An underage high school student, who has only learned some basic biology, has never conducted any medical research or clinical trials, dares to claim she is Lan Xing, the author of an FSI Tier 1 paper?]

[Tier 1 papers recorded by FSI, my doctoral supervisor Professor Lin Xue’an only managed to publish one after turning fifty, kids these days are really bold. Retweeting for everyone to see a joke.]

With an accompanying smiley face emoji, the sarcasm was palpable.

It was precisely because his comments were so eye-catching that various marketing accounts jumped on the bandwagon to retweet, and Lu Sheng’s detailed Weibo post quickly hit the trending searches, making both the original post and the topic itself surge in popularity.

"Is this person sick or something?"

Lan Yu was infuriated by this big V’s words, "We’re clarifying things on behalf of Professor Peng, what does this have to do with him? And he’s even adding insult to injury by retweeting the post."

"He thinks that because he couldn’t accomplish something at the age of nineteen, it’s impossible for anyone else in this world to achieve it, right!"

Lu Sheng, on the other hand, was quite calm.

It was normal for people to disbelieve; after all, even Peng Hongyuan had only confirmed her identity after discussing a professional issue with her for nearly an hour.

Moreover, the words of this big V were already considered polite.

It was only after opening the comments section of that post that Lu Sheng and Lan Yu truly realized just how many angles netizens could take to attack someone and how vicious their words could be.

Lu Sheng said:

[These photos were taken the day before yesterday at noon in front of a restaurant. At the time, I was with Professor Peng outside...]

Comments section:

[What decent high school girl would go out to have a meal alone with a man over fifty during the school term? One can tell what sort of person this girl is just by thinking about it.]

[Seducing underage girls is false accusation? Very possible, perhaps this Lu Sheng was the one who threw herself at him.]

[Indeed, for some people, it might be worth it to sleep with a perverted old man to get a chance to attend Beijing University.]

...

Lu Sheng said:

[Professor Peng did indeed give me a bank card and a gift, but it isn’t as speculated in the reports... The card and gift are the prize money and the souvenir I received for the publication of my paper from FSI, and Professor Peng was just bringing them over for me.]

[The paper I published... it’s the one titled "Research Progress and Prospects of Acromegaly". I published that paper under the pseudonym Lan Xing, and after FSI’s value assessment, it was ranked tier one, hence the two hundred thousand in prize money and a special souvenir.]

Comments section:

[??? Do you even listen to yourself? A high school student spinning tales. Bragging so hard you’re shooting for the sky.]

[The high school student refers to the paper credited by China Daily’s official release last week, praised for making an extraordinary contribution to the field of rare diseases globally, right? Hahaha, saw the trending topic last week and just happened to bring it up today?]

[If I hadn’t researched what FSI is overnight, I would have actually believed what she said.]

[How much money did this girl receive from Peng Hongyuan to make a Weibo post whitewashing him in the middle of the night. But if you’re going to lie, can’t you at least do your homework first? Are you treating netizens like fools by mentioning FSI? I really had to laugh.]

Someone asked what FSI really is, and a netizen replied with an example.

[Let’s put it this way, in all of China, there are not more than two hundred professors in various fields who have published papers on FSI, and less than thirty have been recognized as first-level contributions.]

[Among them, the youngest professor to be included in the FSI was already thirty-two years old at that time. This seventeen-year-old girl who claims her paper was rated as a first-level document by FSI is obviously absurd.]

[I’ve already shared this Weibo post in our medical school group chat, and everyone is dying of laughter, I’d call it the funniest joke I’ve seen this year.]

...

Lu Sheng says:

[Regarding the special admission slot... Professor Peng indeed wanted to offer his special Beijing University admission slot under his name for me this year, but he did not intend to get anything from me in return.]

[It is because Professor Peng recognizes me as a talent and believes that if I become his student and commit to scientific research together, I will definitely make new contributions to our country’s biomedical field...]

[However, due to personal reasons, I did not accept the slot, and therefore Professor Peng did not report it.]

Comments section:

[Hahahaha, it’s the first time I’ve heard someone call themselves talented Hahaha, this sister is indeed a talent, a comedic one!]

[A "highly esteemed" professor in his fifties, eager to offer a high school student an admission slot and claims absolutely no ulterior motives, do you believe your own words?]

[Expecting a minor high school student to contribute to our country’s biomedical field? This would be ridiculed to death if it were posted on foreign websites.]

[Declined the special admission slot due to personal reasons? What normal person would refuse a slot that’s handed to them on a silver platter, must have failed to negotiate a price.]

...

Lu Sheng says:

[I hope everyone can view this incident rationally and maintain a wait-and-see attitude until the police investigation’s results are out.] ƒгeewёbnovel.com

[If Professor Peng has indeed committed a crime, then I believe that the law will give him the punishment he deserves, and the rights of the victims will be protected.]

Comments section:

[Damn, this Lu Sheng is so disgusting! Still talking about looking at this matter rationally and keeping a wait-and-see attitude. Anyway, she wasn’t the one harassed by the teacher in his office and almost raped, was she?]

[How could it be her, someone like her is all too willing to sell herself. It doesn’t cost her to talk standing up, huh.]

[Between the lines, aren’t you just saying that we netizens who are indignantly supporting that girl are all foolishly jumping on the bandwagon? Is she the only one who’s sober?]

[Didn’t the police take Peng Hongyuan away? I think they should just arrest Lu Sheng too.]

It’s not like nobody was speaking up for Lu Sheng.

Some netizens recognized that Lu Sheng had been trending on social media several times before.

Some say that Lu Sheng was once misunderstood about her relationship with Master Osborne during a piano competition, and perhaps this incident with Peng Hongyuan is also a misunderstanding.

Some say that Lu Sheng once risked her life to save Mayor Lin’s son in the middle of the road, she must be kind-hearted, not what the netizens are accusing her of.

Some say that Lu Sheng once fought in an underground boxing match in Abis to reclaim national treasures that had been lost abroad, she’s awesome at playing the piano and fighting; clearly not your average high school student. Such a prodigy might indeed be capable of writing that paper.

But all these comments were drowned out by the overwhelming negative criticism.
