Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Raising a Star (24) Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Raising a Star (24) “Chuzheng sis… Chuzheng sis…”

Liang Xi stood outside, continuously waving at Chuzheng.

Chuzheng took off her coat and handed it to a staff member.

“What’s up?”

“Chuzheng sis, a video suddenly started spreading online.” Liang Xi opened her phone: “Look, it’s already trending.”

“Mine?”

Liang Xi nodded.

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Being a popular actress, it’s been so long since I’ve trended.

Liang Xi was somewhat anxious: “Chuzheng sis, the video is incomplete, and everyone’s cursing you, saying you’re suppressing newcomers.”

Chuzheng scrolled through Liang Xi’s phone.

The comments were split between those trashing and praising her.

The comments section was quite lively.

The video only showed the part where she appeared aggressive; there was neither the beginning nor the end.

Clearly, it had been released with intent.

After carefully watching it once, Chuzheng seriously told Liang Xi, “There are paid trolls in this.”

Liang Xi: “…”

That’s all you noticed after all this time?

Anybody can see there are paid trolls!!

“Chuzheng sis, what should we do about this?”

Liang Xi frowned, just a small assistant, she couldn’t resolve such an issue.

“Lan…sis is calling?” Liang Xi pointed at the phone, where Lan Ling’s name was flashing.

–

Lan Ling originally called to ask Chuzheng about what had happened, but Chuzheng told her there was no need for her to worry, she would handle it herself.

Lan Ling hadn’t finished speaking when Chuzheng hung up the phone.

“Hey.”

Lan Ling looked at her phone.

“You all are so bold! Hanging up on me!”

“Not me.” The man huddled next to her said innocently, “My phone ran out of battery.”

“Don’t talk to me; I get a headache just looking at you.” Lan Ling glared at Feng Wang: “You manage to cause trouble even at an award ceremony, do you want to reach the heavens?”

“Fang Li provoked me first.”

“That still doesn’t give you the right to confront him in front of everyone!”

“I wasn’t in front of everyone,” the man said, “I specifically chose the restroom.”

Lan Ling was frustrated to the point of speechlessness.

“You’re really something, locking him in a restroom is bad enough, but then you got caught on camera, and in the end, it was still me who had to deal with it!”

Feng Wang tousled his hair, huffed, and pulled his hoodie over his head to block Lan Ling’s view.

“What’s up with her?”

Lan Ling, busy tapping on her phone, heard Feng Wang’s question and hastily replied, “Who?”

“Your newly signed artist.”

“Check the internet yourself.”

“My phone is dead.”

“Charge it.”

“…”

Feng Wang huffed again and walked into the bedroom with his slippers clacking.

–

This issue isn’t tough to solve; just need to get the complete video.

But who shot this video is still unknown.

However, there are security cameras on set.

Chuzheng went to the director, who bizarrely evaded her and refused to hand over the security footage no matter what.

Jian Dan didn’t have the clout to make the director ignore the request of an investor like her and still refuse to give up the footage.

Jian Dan…

Chu Anyang, ha.

These two bastards!

Think this will stump me?

[Miss Sister, time to spend some money! Come on! I’m ready!! Don’t go easy on me, I can take it!]King’s Account immediately popped up.

Chuzheng, who was just about to roll up her sleeves and get to work: “…”

Are you a demon?

[No, I’m not, Miss Sister, you are.]

–

Chuzheng logged into Weibo and hadn’t even started browsing when she saw a post in her feed.

Mighty Waves: …//@Mighty Unbeatable Handsome King V: Fang Li, why the passive-aggressive tone? It’s not like I’m the one who locked you in the bathroom and made you late, so what do you want?! Come talk to me face to face if you dare!

The message had been posted ten minutes earlier.

Her own trending topic was instantly drowned out by Feng Wang’s post.

Feng Wang attended an awards ceremony today.

——Of course, he didn’t win any awards.

But he locked the award-winning Fang Li in the bathroom, causing him to be a few minutes late for his award acceptance.

Now, Fang Li’s fans are cursing Feng Wang to death, calling him a malicious spirit.

How come this little thing always competes with me for trending spots?

Is getting on the trending list easy for me?!

Chuzheng casually followed Feng Wang.

Feng Wang’s Weibo followed a mess of people, Chuzheng browsed through, finding it was all his haters, the fiercest and most persistent ones.

Chuzheng: “…”

Why does he follow his haters?!

Is it to have a ringside seat for his own dark history?

[Mighty Unbeatable Handsome King V: Junior sister.]

Feng Wang’s private message came through shortly after Chuzheng hit follow.

[Chi Chuzheng V: You stole my spotlight on the trending list.]

[Mighty Unbeatable Handsome King V: Junior sister, let’s be reasonable. I got on the trending list on my own merit, how is that stealing your spotlight?]

Even though it was just typed text, it seemed as if one could feel Feng Wang’s arrogant smugness between the lines.

[Mighty Unbeatable Handsome King V: Besides, that spotlight of yours wasn’t exactly a good thing. As your senior brother, I helped you push it down, so you should be thanking me.]

Chuzheng: “…”

I can handle it myself, who asked for your help?!

The Good Person Card should act like one!

[Chi Chuzheng V: Why did you lock someone in the bathroom?]

[Mighty Unbeatable Handsome King V: Oy, what’s this, junior sister? You also want to preach to me? There’s no need for that.]

[Chi Chuzheng V: You should have taken off his pants, too.]

[Mighty Unbeatable Handsome King V: Makes sense, that way he wouldn’t have been able to go on stage at all.]

If Lan Ling saw this exchange between these two, he would probably spurt blood and faint on their behalf.

Chuzheng closed the private chat and got down to business.

I’ll grab my own trending spot!

I’ll make my own way onto the trending list!

Chuzheng uploaded the full video directly from her main account.

The video was clear in both picture and sound. As soon as Chuzheng posted it, her fans were the first to react, swiftly re-sharing it, then going to the previous post to debunk it on the spot.

[Chuzheng’s Cute Today: I just knew our Little Cutie couldn’t be that kind of person; how could she do such a thing? The person who posted the video must have some bad intentions, to frame our Little Cutie like that]

[Chuzheng’s Fan Support Club: Don’t be sad, Little Cutie, we’ve got your back, and we will always support you.]

[Special Sale This Person: Has the reversal come?]

[Cockroach That Can’t Be Beaten to Death: So, it wasn’t Chi Chuzheng bullying the newcomer, but rather the newcomer having a conflict with Tong Xueyan, and Chi Chuzheng helped Tong Xueyan?]

The video made it clear who was right and who was wrong.

Jian Dan pretended to fall down, framing Tong Xueyan, and Chuzheng helped prove that it wasn’t Tong Xueyan who had pushed him.

Passersby who hadn’t seen the complete video would probably think Chuzheng was a bit too overbearing.

After all, her demeanor and expressions made her seem that way.

But after watching the full video, everyone just felt the girl in the video was too calm, maybe excessively so.

She debunked Jian Dan’s lies with a method nobody else had thought of.

[Chan Yin Mi Xia: If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have thought of such a method.]

[Girl Who Holds the Breeze: Our Little Cutie is that clever.]

[The Floral Dress Girl is So Pretty: Are all newcomers these days so scheming? And that Nie Xinyang, I used to like him, but now I’m changing from fan to passerby.]
