Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Why would a 19-year-old girl read this kind of book?!
Jiang Li, lightened from any task, had plucked a few leaves from the nearby tree and cushioned them underneath herself as she leaned back against the trunk and sat down.
She then produced a book from somewhere and began flipping through it on her lap.
Her posture was lazy, yet exuded an elegance and tranquility from her very bones.
Her eyebrows were like spring hills, her lips like they held cinnabar, and her already peerless appearance, due to the mottled tree shadows of the afternoon, took on a mysterious air.
The following PD quickly zoomed in the camera, immediately causing continuous screams in the live streaming room.
“Help, Lili is too beautiful, I’m actually suffocating!”
“This has gotta be her bare face, right? She looks so good with not a single blemish on her face, I’m so jealous.”
“Of course, Lili is just 19. It’s prime time of her youth, girls at this age are the most beautiful no matter what.”
“Hah, if someone did your work, you could also look this good. I see Jiang Li clearly just lazily passing off her tasks to others.”
“??? Are some people blind with their hate? Didn’t you see when Jiang Li was cooking? Farm work is tiring, cooking isn’t?”
“I’m speechless, cooking just involves moving the arms, how could that possibly compare to farm work? Jiang Li obviously wants to cheat and slack, while still showing off this straight-A student persona.”
Before long, the live stream’s chat erupted into an argument over this.
And a continuous influx of trolls poured in.
All this was largely thanks to Su Yinwan.
She still had several ads yet to shoot and couldn’t monitor Jiang Li all day.
So, she had secretly paid to have trolls lurk in Jiang Li’s live stream, ready to stir trouble at any sign of disturbance.
Some netizens lacked the ability to discern the truth and were easily swayed.
Moreover, Su Yinwan’s die-hard fans couldn’t bear the thought of letting Jiang Li continue appearing in public view, yet instead, she kept trending in searches.
How could they sit still?
They joined in with the trolls to slander and sway public opinion.
This group has been familiar with entertainment circles for years and skilled in manipulating public opinion. They could reverse black and white in just a few words.
In no time, the live stream’s chat was dominated by trolls accusing Jiang Li of deliberately avoiding tasks and being lazy.
Moreover, several prominent fans had spent money to trend these accusations.
Lu Xingchao was on edge watching from behind the screen.
He quickly contacted the other two members of their advocacy group.
That’s right, their fan club still only had three members.
Lei Ting: “Hurry, hurry, hurry, those trolls in the live stream are at it again, what do we do?”
West District’s Kang Bazi: “Don’t panic, I’ve already been fighting back against each one of them. These people really are idly nitpicking all the damn time.”
Shiguang: “I’ve spent my New Year’s money to lower the trending topic, but this isn’t a solution, as the opposing side has too many people.”
Lei Ting: “You’ve reminded me, we need to step up our efforts and expand our team.”
Lu Xingchao then quickly went offline and contacted a clips editing expert in his studio to create a promotional video for Jiang Li.
He then posted the video on his Weibo, earnestly urging people to join the fan club and stand united.
After days of trending, a growing number of people had gradually started taking an interest in Jiang Li.
However, when they saw the series of membership requirements and the quiz, they all fell silent.
Was this really selecting loyal fans, or investigating their ancestors?
Finally, someone entrenched in the circle couldn’t hold back and sent a slew of private messages to Lu Xingchao.
“….Your fan club is way too lax, right? So many of these questions are nonsensical. Shouldn’t the criteria for joining be based on support for Jiang Li?”
“And another thing, are you Jiang Li’s assistant? Normally, official fan clubs are set up by the artist’s entourage, but it’s not unusual that Jiang Li hasn’t debuted yet.”
At the end of her question, she added, “Are you really fans of Jiang Li? Why does the fan club only have three members thus far, and no one has even manipulated ratings on hot searches?”
Lu Xingchao: “….”
It was his first time being a fan of someone, and he didn’t know either.
He had no choice but to switch back to his main account and dredge up the long-inactive former fan club president from the dusty list.
Lu Xing: “How did you think of setting up a fan club back then and manage it to this point?”
The old president: “? Is the boss grilling her loyalty by faking a resurrection?”
The old president instantly tensed up.
“Lu Xing, did you discover something? I admit, I was originally that black fan who photoshopped you into a greasy uncle online. My aim in joining the fan club was to better undermine you from within, but I swear, after truly getting to know you, I converted from a black fan to a loyal fan. Over the years, my feelings towards you have been genuine!”
Lu Xingchao: ?
He immediately made a phone call.
He said how he had always been laughed at by rivals for being a fat, big-eared shut-in, all because of covert mischief by the old president whom he had trusted!
However, over the years, the other party had genuinely helped him a lot, and the photo issue had fizzled out after some time, so Lu Xingchao didn’t make it hard for her. Pretending to be angry, he reproached her before using that as leverage to “blackmail” her into teaching him how to run a fan club.
Meanwhile, Lu Xingchao’s fan club plans were gradually progressing.
On the other hand, Director Sun noticed Jiang Li leisurely sitting under a tree.
While other guests were sweating profusely, even Shu Yan, who cared greatly about her appearance, was unbothered by the scorching sun, covering her face from forehead to chin, steaming in sweat while tilling the land.
But there was Jiang Li, resting leisurely all day long.
That was totally unacceptable.
So, he quietly approached her with his hands clasped behind his back, feigning seriousness.
Coincidentally, he glimpsed the cover of the book on her lap.
It bore the glaring title “Atlas of Corpse Transformations.”
Looking closer, the pages were filled with stark, bloody images and densely packed text descriptions.
In broad daylight, under the clear sky and blazing 95°F heat, a chill ran up Director Sun’s spine.
Why would a 19-year-old girl be reading such a book—and so engrossed?!
Just then, Jiang Li, hearing the rustle, turned her head.
“Director Sun? Is there something you need?”
Her apricot eyes, usually so clear and reflecting the greenery, now seemed strangely eerie to Director Sun.
Director Sun’s face stiffened for a moment, and he forced a smile, “Oh, nothing much, just came to see if you were too hot.”
Jiang Li: ?
“If there’s nothing else, then I’ll continue reading.”
“Sure, sure, keep reading. Just call me if you need anything, I’ll be right across.”
Jiang Li: ?
Why had Director Sun become so weird?
Director Sun departed grumpily.
Just as Jiang Li was about to refocus and continue expanding her knowledge, several calls came from behind her—
“Oh my, my girl, Jiang Daxian, I finally found you.”
What do you think?
