Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 14: Chapter 14 You’ll Understand It Yourself Later Chapter 14: Chapter 14 You’ll Understand It Yourself Later Luo Ning sat down and started chatting casually with the three people.

Soon, a young woman walked in.

The female star, Su Qinglan, had risen to fame two years ago because of a TV drama and had done quite well since, now considered a near first-tier starlet.

She greeted the four with a smile and quickly joined in the chat.

A little while later, a man and a woman walked in one after the other.

The man had an untamed air about him; handsome and flamboyant, he was none other than the top celebrity, Ji Xinghang.

When he saw Luo Ning, his eyes flickered and the corners of his lips curved up slightly.

The young woman was quite pretty, dressed in a light green dress and looked elegant and pure, she was the other real female lead of a recent trending search, Bo Xiangxiang.

After the two greeted everyone present, they also took their seats.

Everyone knew about Luo Ning’s switch of managers and the trending topics she stirred up last week, so when Ji Xinghang walked in, their gazes lingered and assessed both of them.

Luo Ning maintained her earlier smile without revealing any particular reaction and greeted Ji Xinghang with a slight nod of her head.

After a bit of small talk, Bo Xiangxiang suddenly looked at Luo Ning and asked, “Teacher Luo, would you like to switch seats with me? You and Teacher Ji are more familiar; you could catch up.”

Her seat was right beside Ji Xinghang.

In her previous life, Luo Ning had experienced this situation too. Because she was Ji Xinghang’s girlfriend and also his manager, she had swapped seats without making a fuss, only to be criticized afterward.

This time, however, she smiled and shook her head candidly, “No thanks, I’d better keep my distance from Teacher Ji, or else his fans will accuse me of using him for popularity and leeching off his fame.”

The people present: “…”

They didn’t expect Luo Ning to be so forthright; this was a live broadcast, and yet she was being so direct about such matters. Impressive.

The smile on Ji Xinghang’s face stiffened, his hand tightened on his sunglasses, and he stared silently at Luo Ning who wasn’t looking at him.

He understood her; by distancing herself right from the start, she could legitimately ignore him afterward.

Though annoyed, he managed to keep it from showing, only darkening his expression slightly.

Bo Xiangxiang was surprised that Luo Ning really wanted to sever ties with Ji Xinghang. She felt a secret thrill but also thought Luo Ning was foolish.

On such a live show, who wouldn’t pretend a little? This woman was confronting a top celebrity head-on; Ji Xinghang’s fans would definitely lash out at her.

“It shouldn’t be that bad,” she said to Luo Ning.

Luo Ning looked at her with a half-smile, “You’ll understand when you experience it yourself.”

Bo Xiangxiang felt slightly uncomfortable under her meaningful gaze, especially since Luo Ning knew that she was the person in the trending photo.

But it didn’t matter. Even if Luo Ning knew, what could she do about it? Had she any evidence to expose her? She had no choice but to endure it.

Sensing the atmosphere turning a bit awkward, Tong Jia immediately switched the topic, “I heard the scheduled Teacher Li couldn’t make it due to a schedule conflict, so there’s a new mystery guest coming. Who do you think it will be?”

He meant no harm to Luo Ning; the previous topic had already caused a stir, continuing it might provoke backlash from the fans, so he steered the conversation to liven up the mood.

The others caught on and shifted the topic too, Wei Yao said with a laugh, “Really can’t guess this one, but since the show describes it as a mysterious guest, it must be someone special.”

Chai Jing added with a laugh, “Looking forward to uncovering the mysterious guest.”

At this moment, the live broadcast’s comments section started exploding with activity.

Indeed, Ji Xinghang’s fans began to curse furiously.

“Luo Huaping is so over the line, our Star Baby couldn’t care less about her sitting next to him.”

“Yeah, just speaking like this is already leeching off our Star Baby’s popularity, shameless.”

“What right does she have to say that, hasn’t she used Star Baby’s popularity to hype herself up before? She’s really playing both sides.”

“It’s good that she knows her place, our Star Baby never wanted to give her a chance to cling.”

“Why would the show team invite Luo Ning, the vase, in the first place? At least all the other guests have some singing or dancing talent, and her? She can do nothing but be a decoration, she’s so annoying to look at!”

“Exactly, Luo Huaping can’t do anything right, she tops the list of clingers, are the show team blind to invite such a person?”

“It must be because she has a money-backer. Obviously, the backer invested in the show so she could be there.”

In fact, many Ning Fans were originally satisfied to see Luo Ning deciding not to get close to their brother. However, under the manipulation of the troll army hired by Yan Qiuping and Bo Xiangxiang, they couldn’t help but also hurl various ugly insults.

As for being wildly cursed by Ji Xinghang’s fans, Luo Ning was not at all surprised. Regardless of whether she changed her seat or not, she would be scolded, so naturally, she did whatever made her feel comfortable.

Her focal point in doing this was to clearly dissociate herself from Ji Xinghang right from the start, indicating that she didn’t want any entanglement with him. Thus, limiting her interactions with him in the future would be justified.

As these people spoke more and more vulgarly, Luo Ning’s fans couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Ningbao talks to Ji Xinghang, and you say she’s leeching off his popularity; she stays away from your brother, and you still say she’s leeching. Are you sick?”

“Star Fans, enough is enough; our Ningbao has already stayed away from your brother. What more do you want? Can’t you stop being unreasonable?”

“How do you know our Ningbao can’t do anything? Don’t forget how you were proven wrong last time.”

“Our Ningbao is just there to look beautiful, deal with it however you want.”

“Really, can’t you just quietly watch the show?”

“Everyone, stop arguing with Star Fans. Let’s have a peaceful live stream and let the other viewers enjoy the reality show.”

“I’m just quietly admiring Ningbao’s beauty; she looks so youthful and pretty today, just one word, gorgeous.”

“Exactly, holding on to my Ningbao, we’re not mingling, thank you!”

Luo Ning’s fans, tired of dealing with Star Fans and troll-driven haters, began to focus on how beautiful their Ningbao was.

This left the Star Fans and the haters feeling like they were punching cotton, frustrated and continuing to spit insults in the live chat.

The contrast made it clear which fans were of higher quality and also improved other fans’ and bystanders’ opinions of Luo Ning.

After all, as Ning Fans said, Luo Ning used to be constantly chased by Star Fans accusing her of clinging to their brother.

Now that she had changed her agents and openly made it clear she would stay away from their brother, these fans were still harping on it, which seemed a bit too much.

Seeing Ning Fans praising Luo Ning’s beauty increased everyone’s attention towards her.

Today, she dressed in a goose-yellow T-shirt, dungaree pants, with her hair tied in a bun, and makeup lightly done, giving off a casual and youthful charm that felt like the girl next door.

Compared to the other two female stars, who were elaborately made-up and wore expensive dresses, she seemed more down-to-earth and approachable in this rural setting.

At this moment, the director smiled and said, “Now, please welcome our mystery guest!”

This was the biggest surprise of the show today.

Soon, a gracefully handsome man with a well-built figure walked in, shocking both the guests present and the viewers in front of the screens.
