Chapter 8: Twenty Years of Blackening the Soft

All the haters in the group who have been bashing Pearsoft for 20 years went to the group owner for advice:
Hater A: Is she really crazy? Is she admitting that she really had plastic surgery? That's not right. I have everything she does every day. Look, she has no chance to have plastic surgery!
Attached below is Zhang Liruan’s schedule and even some photos for each day.

Liruan: …Wouldn’t it be interesting if she posted all of this on her Weibo?
These haters know her better than her true fans! She seriously suspected that hater A had sent someone to follow her! Otherwise, how could he know exactly where the original owner went for beauty treatments?
Anti-Fan N: I know why her selfie today looks so good. She used to wear makeup, but today she is completely bare-faced.

Anti-fan Q: Oh my god, this woman is so beautiful, but she covered it all up before. What was she thinking?

Anti-Fan D: It’s so pretty, what should I do if I want to be a fan?
The previous message was withdrawn after five seconds.

Anti-fan D: I am guilty! Just pretend you didn’t see anything.

There is a red envelope attached at the back.

Li Ruan grabbed another red envelope, but unfortunately this time it only had two yuan and twenty cents! It seems that the more people blackmail her, the more red envelopes she can grab! The one above, who is in Cao's camp but has his heart in Han, has already betrayed.

Group leader Qing Yan: Forget it, the wind direction is not right today, let’s all retreat first and wait for notification.

I can’t do it. I can’t do it.

He was even a little worried that a plastic surgery hospital would really come to Liruan to advertise. It would be better if he stopped commenting on her for now. Didn’t he see that she gained tens of thousands of followers in just such a short period of time?

Seeing that everyone in the group had left, Liruan regretfully quit the black fan group. Coincidentally, Xiaoyuan, who had been sent away, finally came back. She made two trips to carry all the things that Liruan asked her to buy.

Liruan put down her phone, took out the things in the bag and sorted them out. "Okay, I don't have anything to do here today, so I'll give you half a day off so you can have a rest."

Xiaoyuan: ...Wow, our artist has really grown up and now knows how to feel sorry for people. This is really not easy.

"I, I'd better organize these books before I leave."

Li Ruan refused: "No, no, I packed it myself and I can find it easily when I need it. Go back quickly and be careful on the road."

She will have to redecorate the room later, and it will really be inconvenient for Xiaoyuan to stay here.

Xiaoyuan had no choice but to put the vegetables in the refrigerator before leaving.

At this time, the phone rang again. It was Qiao Na. As soon as the phone was connected, a familiar roar came, "Liruan, who told you to post on Weibo randomly? Just post it. Why are you arguing with the haters?
You even let your fans turn from fans to haters, are you seriously ill?"

After she kept yelling, Liruan seriously suspected that she was afraid that she would not be able to curse anymore after she started, so she cursed all at once.

"Sister Na~ But I'm on the trending search~"

"Then you better be careful. Remember to notify me next time you post on Weibo. Also, don't insult others casually!"

Joanna: I'm so scared. She can't bear to say a word to someone so soft and timid that she won't argue with him.

Anyway, she didn't do anything wrong, and the effect was pretty good. In just over an hour, she gained more than 100,000 followers. Although most of them were here to criticize her, haters are still fans. Don't let your words affect her performance. "Forget it, I don't want to care about you. I'm hanging up!"

After finally getting the irritable Sister Na to hang up the phone, Liruan began to clean up the house and took out her usual things. She added a bookshelf to the living room, and placed two rattan chairs, a small chair, and a set of tea sets on the balcony. She loved to sit on the floor to meditate, so she took out a pure white carpet and spread it on the floor.

The bed in the inner room was replaced with the large green wood bed that he often slept on, and the computer desk was replaced with a desk made of the same green wood.

The sofa could not be replaced, but she changed the sofa cover to light blue with silver edges, and put four cat pillows on it, which made it look much more comfortable.

After the room was tidied, Liruan picked up a book from the bookshelf and started reading.

The title of the book is "The Complete Works of Shakespeare".

...The president's office on the top floor of Xi Group.

Xi Leng looked at his phone more than once, and the more he looked, the colder he felt.

He suspected that there might be something wrong with his phone, so he called He Cheng to give him a call. Within two seconds, the call was connected. He hung up the phone and looked at He Cheng with a heavy look, "Are you sure you gave her my QR code?"

He Cheng: ...Can I lie about this?
He simply opened his WeChat chat history and handed it to his CEO, "Look, I really pushed it, and sent your phone number. Miss Li didn't reply, probably because she's busy."

He himself did not believe what he said. The people under him had already investigated Miss Li's information from inside out.

In the past six months, because someone has been slandering her, she has had very little work and has been idle most of the time. Otherwise, she would not have caught her boyfriend in bed with the eldest daughter of the Wu family.

"You go out."

He Cheng was granted amnesty and was about to reach for his cell phone. Xi Leng said, "Leave it here."

He Cheng: ...

Fortunately, he had a backup phone, and those small company groups were also on the backup phone. The president didn’t know yet, but the fact that he had a girlfriend was already known to the entire company.

After He Cheng left, Xi Leng found Li Ruan's phone number from his mobile phone and called her directly.

At that time, Liruan was still reading a book at home, but the book had long been replaced by another one, "Hamburg Drama Reviews".

The phone rang. She took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but there was a string of 8s on the number. She curled her lips slightly and waited for the phone to ring for more than ten seconds before picking up the phone. "Hello~ Hello, who is this?"

On the other end of the phone, Xi Leng's hands unconsciously clenched, and his left leg was directly placed on his right leg. "I forgot to leave you my contact information this morning. This is my phone number. Please write it down."

"Mr. Xi? I was wondering who owns this great account. Turns out he's my sponsor."

Xi Leng: ...My ears are itchy, and my heart is itchy too.

“Add me on WeChat.”

Li Ruan laughed out loud, "Okay, I'll add it later. Isn't Mr. Xi busy?"

"Fortunately."

"By the way, Mr. Xi, I just took on a play today and need to think about the script. I won't be going back tonight. Sorry."

In the office, Xi Leng's expression was ambiguous. Sorry? He didn't hear any apology in her tone.

"understood."

The call was hung up.

Li Ruan looked at the black screen and opened her red lips: Haha, you are so heartless.

……

After the casting, Director Qu drank some wine tonight, which was rare. His wife looked at her drunken husband and scolded him with a smile: "How many times have I told you to drink less, but you just wouldn't listen. Look, now you're the one who's suffering?"
