Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Which family created the white lotus persona to go transplant rice seedlings in the field?

Huo Family.

Still hungover, Huo Ziyang had just awakened from a blurry dream when his cellphone started ringing incessantly.

He clicked his tongue in annoyance and picked up the phone.

“Hello? Who the hell is it? Disturbing my good dream so early!”

The person on the other side chuckled, “Brother, haven’t you gotten up yet? I’ve taken care of the matter you mentioned last night.”

On hearing this, Huo Ziyang became a bit more alert and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Did you find the account?”

“Yes, the person is willing to let it go for five million.”

Huo Ziyang sneered, “A lousy entertainment reporter dares to ask me for so much. Tell him I’ll only give three million, take it or leave it!”

The person sighed, “Brother Yang, you don’t understand the current market. That account now has over a million followers, it’s quite influential. Five million is already a very low price, three million can get you some, but you’d probably only get small bloggers.”

After thinking it over, Huo Ziyang gritted his teeth, “Fine, five million it is. I’ll transfer the money now, I want to see that account immediately.”

“Alright! Brother Yang is so straightforward.”

After hanging up, the person sent Huo Ziyang a bank account number.

Huo Ziyang transferred five million in one go, feeling as if his heart was being cut out.

“Damn Jiang Yan, I’ve really gone all out for you this time. If you don’t become famous, you’d be letting me down.”

As he spoke, he switched to Weibo and logged into the newly purchased account.

It was an entertainment blogger’s account, specifically for exposing various gossips within the entertainment circle. Recently, a scandal about a top-tier celebrity secretly marrying and having children was leaked by this account, causing a surge of a million followers in one day, and it was currently on the rise.

The moment he logged into Weibo, he saw the trending searches.

At the top was the hashtag #JiangLiFarming#.

Huo Ziyang clicked on it, and photos of a girl seriously planting sweet potatoes popped up immediately, her skin as white as snow, radiant and stunning.

Huo Ziyang squinted, his fingers gliding across the screen.

Hmph, not a single one from the Jiang Family knows their place. Well then, he might as well show them the consequences of offending him!

Thinking this, Huo Ziyang quickly composed and sent a Weibo post.

Feeling it was not enough, he spent tens of thousands more to buy trending spots and promoted it broadly.

In less than ten minutes, a new entry named #TheRealFaceofJiangLi# climbed into the top ten trends.

Netizens on their lunch break were shocked to see this trend.

Isn’t this the Weibo influencer who exposed the secretly married celebrity? Are they operating again so soon? Is there more juicy gossip?

However, when they clicked in, they were somewhat disappointed.

The expose was not about any top-tier celebrity’s juicy news, but about a newcomer who recently gained popularity through a live reality show.

But having some gossip is better than none, especially since it’s much cheaper to blacklist a newcomer than a celebrity.

With Flash Change accumulating quite some attention recently, it soon attracted a lot of onlookers to this spectacle.

The Weibo post was a lengthy expose on Jiang Li’s past.

There had been no shortage of Weibo posts criticizing Jiang Li before.

But this one was different, not only did it contain text but it also included actual photos as proof.

There were photos of Jiang Li acting arrogantly in public spaces, as well as photos of her skipping school to go to Internet cafes during high school.

In the article, Brother Liu angrily spoke out.

“Jiang Li is just a little gangster girl, so please, netizens, stop hyping her up as some fair-skinned rich beauty. The Jiang Family originally came from a broken-down fishing village, and only became successful by sheer luck. They may look glamorous but really have no standing in the Capital,” he complained.

“The trade situation hasn’t been great in recent years, I reckon the Jiang Family has lost quite a bit of money, so they packaged this brother and sister to make money. You all are being sold and counting money for others without even realizing, still following such two-faced people.”

The comment section was in shock.

[Damn, this is definitive proof, Jiang Li really does set up a facade!]

[So disgusting, I knew how can a normal person be good at this and that, turns out it’s all scripted. I’m done, I’m never watching any reality TV again.]

[Thrilled as a fan of Su Yinwan, finally, someone exposed Jiang Li’s true colors! Blogger, I support you, Jiang Li is indeed a scandalous little gangster!]

[??? When did Brother Liu start caring about ordinary people?]

[So weird, didn’t Brother Liu used to just show evidence and smash them? Why is he suddenly so talkative and emotional today, could it be someone else?]

Supporters of Su Yinwan and detractors of Jiang Li seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack.

Suddenly, Jiang Li’s Weibo and related forums were overwhelmed, filled with voices demanding she quit the industry and apologize.

Only a small fraction of people still kept their rationality and did not join the bandwagon.

As the trending search continued to ferment, Jiang Li’s live-streaming room also flooded with people ready to mock this seemingly perfect pretender of innocence and purity.

But when they saw the girl on screen with bright red lips and sparkling teeth, diligently planting sweet potato seedlings in the field, they were all taken aback.

Was this really the same pink-haired, arrogant girl from Brother Liu’s Weibo, the one showcasing a faux innocent persona on live variety shows?

Which true innocent persona goes planting in the fields?

And that beauty, she’s not some tackily made-up gangster girl. Calling her an immortal sister wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

In the camera, Jiang Li’s movements were extremely skilled, showing no signs of performance.

While other guests were still figuring out how to start, her sweet potato field was already taking shape.

She first divided the experimental field into four clean sections, used a hoe to draw neat trenches in one section, then dug small pits on the ridges, planted the sweet potato seedlings, and finally covered them with soil.

Her proficient handling not only stunned the people on the site but also those in the live-streaming room.

[Is this really the Jiang Li Brother Liu exposed? I’m stunned, wasn’t it said that she’s just pretentious and haughty? But looking at her, she seems quite adept at farming.]

[What’s up with Brother Liu? Exposing things that aren’t even true, are you just trying to scam traffic? I’ve unfollowed!]

[I apologize for my irrationality, certain scripts might be feigned, but this inherent temperament can’t be. Just looking, she’s a diligent and well-mannered good girl, nothing like what Brother Liu exposed!]

[OMG, Jiang Li even knows how to plant on ridges, could she have specifically learned farming?]

[My gosh, my mom who comes from the countryside isn’t even as adept as she is, let’s see who else says Jiang Li only knows how to be lazy and can’t do anything.]

[Sister Li really is an all-rounder, not only a model of diligence in waking up early, but her farming skills are also top-notch, so young and already so driven.]
