Chapter 026

In the Licheng Simple Sailing Competition, Zhou Qingyu won first place in the group. The prize for the competition was a customized sailboat model awarded by the Sailing Club, and Zhou Qingyu gave the model to Yan Xi.

【Three minutes of being controlled by the young lady! 】

[I won't talk about Zhou Whisper anymore, the competition just now was so cool! ]

[Director Jiang is right, Missy should play more roles like the villainous Yu Jie! 100% suitable

ah!】

[I want to watch it! What the above person said makes me excited! ]

Ye Luoyi also finished the race because when she saw Zhou Qingyu rushing to the front, she was anxious and failed to control the sail, and plunged into the river when the strong wind came.

When coming out of the water, Ye Luoyi spat out several mouthfuls of Seine water and felt bitter and uncomfortable in her mouth.

When I looked up, I saw Yan Xi happily taking the sailboat model from Zhou Qingyu.

Ye Luoyi: "..."

Carter pulled Ye Luoyi out of the water and said, "This is your first time learning to sail. That's great. Yiyi, you have a talent!"

He noticed that Ye Luoyi's eyes were fixed on Zhou Qingyu, and added, "To be able to drive to Miss Zhou's level, he must have learned it before."

"Really?" Ye Luoyi looked a little unnatural, but still walked to Zhou Qingyu's side, "Qingyu, have you learned sailing? How many years have you learned it? You're amazing!"

Ye Luoyi deliberately emphasized the word "a few years".

She could feel that Zhou Qingyu had this level, almost reaching the professional level, and must have studied for a long time. She was just a beginner, so it was normal that she couldn't compare, and it wouldn't be shameful for fans to know about it.

Zhou Qingyu looked at Ye Luoyi and raised her eyebrows.

She was 1.7 meters tall, slightly taller than Ye Luoyi who was 1.62 meters tall, just enough for her to look down at her from the side.

"None of your business?"

Ye Luoyi's mouth twitched.

[Zhou Qingyu's words are quite aggressive, but the boat is just better, is that right?]

[Hasn't Zhou Qingyu always been like this? Arrogant and domineering, is this the first time everyone has heard of this? ]

[Yiyi, don't talk to this person. I get annoyed when I see Zhou Qingyu! ]

Yan Xi held the sailboat model and blinked.

Before, she only thought that Ye Luoyi was very careful with her words and would find the most tactful way to get herself out of trouble, but after interacting with Ye Luoyi for the past two days, Yan Xi finally figured out the truth.

Tea, good tea.

This is a high-quality green tea that can be regarded as the treasure of any teahouse.

It seemed that she was simply asking and being curious about Zhou Qingyu, and she stopped logically, but she added, "How many years have you studied?"

Given the relationship between Zhou Qingyu and Ye Luoyi, it is impossible for Zhou Qingyu to give Ye Luoyi a normal answer. In this way, on the one hand, Ye Luoyi would express that "Zhou Qingyu has studied for several years, and I am a beginner, there is no comparison, she is also very good", and on the other hand, it also reflects Zhou Qingyu's rudeness.

With her actions, and considering Xu Yangyang's greed in the novel, it would be strange if Zhou Qingyu and Xu Yangyang's fake best friend relationship was not exposed.

Yan Xi looked at Ye Luoyi and said softly, "Qingqing was a member of the sailing club when she was in college. She studied for less than a year. With her learning speed, she is also a leader among them."

Then, Yan Xi changed the subject and said, "Teacher Ye, you drew very well during practice. Haven't you learned it before?"

Ye Luoyi's expression froze and she clenched her fingers, "I've never learned this before! Today is my first time!"

Yan Xi touched his chin and thought for a moment, "But my friend who is a coach at the Haicheng Sailing Club told me that he saw you in the club some time ago!"

Ye Luoyi's face turned pale.

Yan Xi obviously doesn't know how to sail, so how come she has friends in the sailing club?

It's a small world, isn't it?

Ye Luoyi has always been building up her image as a "top student", for example, she ranked first in the cultural subjects in the film academy's art exam, or she learned various skills very quickly in the variety show, etc. She has an excellent background, is hardworking, motivated and smart, and these have become the key factors that attract her fans.

Therefore, Ye Luoyi prepared early for this sailing festival, and also wanted to establish a persona of a "genius girl who learns sailing quickly."

When signing the contract with the sailing coach, Ye Luoyi repeatedly told the coach not to reveal what she was there to learn.

But Ye Luoyi also knew that such instructions would not be binding even if a contract was attached. The other party did not choose to expose it, but just told it to friends as gossip after dinner.

How could it be such a coincidence that it reached Yan Xi's ears!

Ye Luoyi's face turned pale, then blue, "Your friend must have seen it wrong, right?"

"How could that be?" Yan Xi pretended to be surprised and said with a smile, "You are a star and you are so beautiful, how could he be wrong!"

Ye Luoyi's eyes turned dark.

How could she be so unlucky!

Ye Luoyi stammered, "Maybe I went there with a friend before and he saw me!"

Yan Xi said "Oh" meaningfully, her eyes fixed on Ye Luoyi, a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

[It's so funny. Looking at Ye Luoyi's embarrassed expression, she must have learned it before! ]

[I have learned it, so is there any need to hide it? 】

[If Zhou Qingyu hadn't been in the spotlight today, Ye Luoyi would have definitely bought a lot of marketing accounts. She has already found a comparison group, which is Yan Xi who keeps falling into the water. By comparison, doesn't Ye Luoyi look smart and outstanding? She will definitely attract more fans! ]

[Ye Luoyi is too vain, she even needs to establish a character for this matter! ]

The system has been monitoring the public opinion on the Internet and in the live broadcast room, and informed Yan Xi of the information as soon as possible.

[Host, you are so awesome! How did you know that Ye Luoyi had learned this in the club before? I didn't even know it!]

Yan Xi looked innocent, "I don't know!"

System:?

Yan Xi smiled slyly, "But I asked Louis to check where I could learn sailing in Haicheng. That club is the most formal one. Ye Luoyi has probably learned it before. I just said it casually to trick her!"

System: […?]

[Aren't you afraid that Ye Luoyi will expose you? Maybe she studied abroad? ]

Yan Xi shrugged, "It's fine if you want to expose it. My friend made a mistake in identifying the person. What does it have to do with me?"

It was a "friend" who saw Ye Luoyi learning sailing, not Yan Xi. And it was just word of mouth, Yan Xi did not say that Ye Luoyi had learned it, so it could not be considered a rumor.

System: [……]

Good guy, it burns half of the CPU!

Fortunately, Yan Xi is just an ordinary person. If Zhou Qingyu had this level of intelligence, how would Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai play?

Qin Li and other guests came to watch the sailing competition. They also tasted the fun from the conversation between Ye Luoyi and Yan Xi. They are both in the entertainment industry and have been around for thousands of years. What is the point of playing Liao Zhai?

Fortunately, it was just a character image failure, not a fatal black spot, and he will only be ridiculed by netizens.

Qin Li changed the topic at the right time. Yan Xi's writing on the blackboard had already dried up for the most part, with only stains from the river water remaining on it.

"Yan Xi herself's writing on the blackboard shows that she has good academic performance." Qin Li praised, "I remember when she introduced, Yan Xi said she was a student?"

Zhou Qingyu proudly put her arm around Yan Xi's shoulders and said, "Our Xixi is an excellent student at Ocean University! This math problem won't be difficult for her!"

Haicheng University, one of the top 3 universities in China.

No matter what a student's academic performance is in school, once this title comes out, everyone will think that Yan Xi is a top student.

【Ocean University! The dream school! 】

【Yan Xi is so amazing! 】

【Those who can get into Shanghai University are all talented people! 】

[I really didn't realize it. When Yan Xi said she was a student, I thought she was just in college and was too embarrassed to introduce! I didn't expect her to be so amazing! ]

[By the way, Zhou Qingyu doesn't look like she's friends with the top students… She looks like one of the poor students, the type who only cares about putting on makeup and dressing up every day when going to school…]

【Hahahahaha, are you polite upstairs? 】

[The lady will beat you to death with her crocodile skin bag! ]

All the guests at the scene showed surprised expressions.

It's nothing, it's one of the top three universities in China, even Raymond and Carter have heard of it.

They looked at Yan Xi with admiration, then looked at Zhou Qingyu who was looking smug beside her, and suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

Especially Jiang Tao, after comparing Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi, "You two are best friends? One is a top student and the other is a poor student, how can you be best friends? It doesn't make sense!"

Zhou Qingyu:?

Zhou Qingyu squinted her eyes, rubbed her hand joints, and looked at Jiang Tao with a smile, "It seems that your project no longer needs my winery. If you rent it to another crew, you can make tens of thousands for three days..."

Jiang Tao: !!!

No--!

He needs it!!!

——

The sailing race is over and it's almost time for dinner.

The program team assigned a task today, asking the guests to prepare dinner together at the B&B in the evening. It's hard to satisfy so many people, and since everyone was out, the guests decided to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients for hot pot.

Ye Luoyi followed the crowd silently. She just glanced at the live broadcast room and found many passers-by mocking her for her bad image.

This makes her even more emo.

It's the third day of recording the show. She's been unlucky every day and being ridiculed every day. This is completely different from what she imagined. She thought she could become popular again with this variety show.

Qin Li followed behind Ye Luoyi. Looking at her emo appearance, Qin Li felt his heart tense up.

After a moment's silence, Qin Li took out his cell phone and made a call.

——

"Da Jiajun" is a marketing account.

Da Jia, which is homophonic to "anti-counterfeiting", is also Da Jiajun's main business direction. He specializes in anti-counterfeiting of various celebrities.

There are online teachers who quickly became famous after teaching a few online classes due to their profound knowledge; there are handsome young men who became the dream of thousands of girls because of their handsome looks; there are also technical secondary school students who wrote novels on the Internet and then became popular with one book, and were hailed as the purple star of the literary world... They quickly became famous and were sought after by thousands of people, but Da Jiajun likes to question these "celebrities".

In the information age, traffic is money. Many ordinary people become famous overnight. After becoming famous, they become Internet celebrities and sell goods through live broadcasts. Traffic has become money, and more and more people are flocking to it.

So, there are a lot of fakes among them.

But there are also talented people.

Keda Jiajun believes that genius is rare, otherwise why would so many people admire and worship it? Most of it is just a false fantasy, coupled with marketing packaging, in order to convert traffic into money in the future.

Da Jiajun once exposed the fraud of a talented teacher. That teacher gave live lectures. Because his lectures were easy to understand, eloquent and able to quote from classics, he attracted many netizens to learn and watch, and the teacher became an Internet celebrity for a time.

Da Jiajun's team targeted teachers, believing that other teams would follow suit.

After a deeper investigation, I discovered that there is a team behind the teacher. Some people help with lesson plans, and some do marketing on the Internet. The teacher only needs to find opportunities to tell the jokes that have been prepared in advance during the live broadcast.

The halo of the erudite teacher who once became famous overnight collapsed overnight.

So much so that everyone forgets that before the teacher became famous, he was really a teacher. His lectures are really good, and it is not a problem for him to quote classics occasionally.

His video that became an overnight sensation is real.

It was only with the subsequent intervention of various types of capital that packaging and marketing came into being.

Dajiajun doesn’t care whether the teacher is truly knowledgeable or not. As long as he can prove that the other party has a team and marketing, his perfect halo will be shattered.

Dajiajun can also earn traffic through this wave of anti-counterfeiting.

This trick has been tried and tested. No one is perfect in this world. No one is perfect. Who can stand the test of scrutiny?

Even if the teacher has no lesson plan or team, Dajia Jun can still find any imperfections in him. His emotions, his family, his past... there are always things that can be criticized.

So Dajia-kun is doing pretty well so far.

Today, the team continued to search for suitable materials online, and Da Jiajun also looked through his private messages on Weibo to see if any fans had submitted any contributions.

The blackboard in which Yan Xi calculated with the river water by the Seine came into view.

It’s packed with popular travel variety shows, top students, pretty girls, and hot spots.

[Da Jiajun! I want to contribute! I have been following "Travel", it is quite good. Yan Xi introduced herself as a student, but as I watched, I gradually felt something was wrong...]

[Yan Xi is 20 years old this year, so she should be a junior in college, but how can a college student remember junior high school math after graduation? The handwriting on the blackboard looks fake at first glance, like a character setting! ]

[And Zhou Qingyu said she was a student at Ocean University. My friend is also from Ocean University. Ocean University has an alumni app that records all the information of students, including those who have graduated. I just asked her to check it out, and there is no such person as Yan Xi! ]

Oh no!

After reading this submission, Da Jiajun suddenly found it interesting.

The other party sent me the alumni search interface on the Haicheng University app, and sure enough, there was zero search record for "Yan Xi".

This is already very painful.

In addition, Da Jiajun browsed the relevant information about the "Travel" variety show. It is an S-level variety show, and celebrities bring their partners to participate in the show. This is a typical way to promote newcomers in the entertainment industry. Otherwise, it would be a waste for an S-level variety show to bring an amateur to participate in the show!

Yan Xi is good-looking, a pure and innocent type, so she is very suitable for entering the entertainment industry.

If Yan Xi was just an amateur, she probably wouldn't create a persona, but if she wanted to enter the entertainment industry or become an internet celebrity, it would be normal to create a persona.

Ye Luoyi just fell out of favor because of her character setting. Celebrities in the entertainment industry love to establish that kind of character setting.

Even if the photos submitted by fans were photoshopped, and Yan Xi is a student of Ocean University, Da Jiajun is not afraid. Zhou Qingyu's previous partner was Xu Yangyang, but suddenly she changed to an "amateur" who is prettier than Xu Yangyang. What is Xingyao thinking? Doesn't he understand?

Yan Xi is definitely a newly signed artist of Xingyao!

As long as Yan Xi is determined to debut, she will not be able to escape the team, marketing, and establishing her personal image!

Da Jiajun quickly drafted the manuscript. It was past midnight in China, which was lunch time, and the traffic was good. With sufficient information, this Weibo post was not difficult to edit.

Soon, a fresh "anti-counterfeiting" Weibo post appeared on Da Jiajun's homepage.

Dajiajun thought this post could go viral, but the initial traffic was uncertain and it might be strangled by Xingyao. He hesitated whether to buy a trending search, and within two minutes, the term #颜兮学学造假# became a trending search.

Naturally, the hot search will not rise so quickly. Da Jiajun suddenly realized that Xingyao’s opponent has taken action. It seems that Yan Xi is the new star signed by Xingyao. There is no doubt about this.

It is past noon, the time for office workers to have lunch. With nothing to do, everyone will pick up their phones and check Weibo.

[I just finished watching the live broadcast of "Travel" and was still marveling at how awesome Yan Xi was. How come someone came out to stab her so soon? ]

[Yan Xi is not a student of Ocean University? Is there any Ocean University student who can prove it? ]

[I am a student of Ocean University of China. We do have an app for Ocean University of China. It is used to handle various school affairs. It can check alumni information, but it only shows the name, major and grade. More detailed information will not be disclosed. I just checked and there is no one named Yan Xi in our school. ]

[It's a hammer! Yan Xi actually told such a big lie, isn't she afraid of being exposed? ]

[Not all schools have this kind of app. The computer science department at Ocean University is strong, and the apps they make are also good. Yan Xi is a fake, and she has never been to Ocean University, so she doesn’t know how awesome it is! ]

[I knew that Zhou Qingyu's friends were very smart. Birds of a feather flock together!]

[You can become a top student just by solving a math problem in middle school? You can get into Shanghai University? I am dying of laughter! ]

As Da Jiajun expected, Yan Xi's anti-counterfeiting news quickly attracted heated discussions, with more and more people joining in the discussion. The entry that was originally at the bottom of the list quickly rushed to the front of the hot searches!

——As an amateur, Yan Xi shouldn’t have such a big influence, but she has a close friend named Zhou Qingyu, and she happens to be on a popular variety show, and many people watch "Travel".

Da Jiajun thinks Yan Xi can also show her student ID or admission letter as proof, but since many students from Ocean University have already proved in the comment section that there is no person like Yan Xi in the school, Da Jiajun thinks the chances of Yan Xi making a comeback are not high.

After a while, Dajiajun received another submission.

This makes Yan Xi's argument of entering the entertainment industry and establishing her own persona more convincing.

This submission only has a few photos, which show Xu Yangyang. She is wearing a cap and sunglasses, and her figure and appearance can be vaguely seen. She came to a movie theater in Haicheng, picked up a ticket from the self-service ticket machine, and prepared to watch a movie.

The photo just happened to capture Xu Yangyang, including the self-service ticket machine behind her.

The ticket machine screen showed the time at that time, 12 o'clock yesterday evening.

Time, place, people, everything is there.

Some of the photos were taken secretly and the image quality is not clear, but it can be seen that Xu Yangyang is very healthy and there is no serious problem with her legs and feet.

Three days ago, she posted on Weibo that she sprained her foot and couldn't work, so she quit "Travel". But just over a day later, her foot healed?

Is it necessary to give up the recording of an S-level variety show just because of this level of sprain?

Da Jiajun immediately released Xu Yangyang's photo.

[Squeeze out Yangyang and replace him with a newcomer, Xingyao, you are awesome! 】

[I feel sorry for Yangyang. After struggling in the entertainment industry for so many years, he finally got a chance to appear on an S-level variety show, but he was squeezed out by a royal family! ]

[If this isn’t a warm-up for entering the entertainment industry…]

[Yan Xi's behavior is so disgusting. If she wants to enter the entertainment industry, just go ahead. Is it necessary to steal other people's resources? Why is she trying to create a persona of a top student? What's the matter? Are you thinking that you will become very popular and that many people will like you? Is it okay for you not to enter the entertainment industry?]

[What's the point of having good looks? Pushing your appearance is disgusting! ]

[What kind of person is Zhou Qingyu? Can anyone who hangs out with her be a good person? ]

——

At the same time, Licheng Airport in Country F——

Lin Ranran was bored and was scrolling through Weibo. There were a lot of discussions about "Travel" on the Internet, and the focus was on stars like Ye Luoyi, Zhou Qingyu, and Qin Li. There was very little discussion about other participating guests.

Whenever Lin Ranran saw a negative post about Yan Xi, she would click on it and give the other party a like.

There were a lot of insults to Yan Xi yesterday, but today there were much fewer, which made Lin Ranran feel very bored.

"I asked you to help me with something, why are you taking so long? You're looking at your phone all day long, how can you be a rich lady?"

Lin's mother came out of the dressing room and changed into a dress from C. She asked the salesgirl to pack her original clothes and was about to let Lin Ranran carry them, but she saw Lin Ranran lowering her head to play with her mobile phone, completely ignoring the handbag handed to her by the salesgirl.

Mother Lin poked her head hard and said, "I'm calling you! Did you hear me?"

"I heard it! Mom, I heard it." Lin Ranran trembled as she helped her mother carry the shopping bags.

She was already holding several shopping bags, all of which were things that Lin's mother had just bought at the duty-free shop.

Mother Lin glanced at her disapprovingly, "You are so petty, how can you be a daughter of a wealthy family? In this respect, you are not as good as Lin Xi!"

Lin Ranran lowered her head silently, her fingers pinching the thin strap of the shopping bag, her fingertips turning white.

Lin Xi is Yan Xi's original name.

Lin's mother is Lin Ranran's stepmother. To her, she doesn't care whether the daughter of the Lin family is Yan Xi or Lin Ranran, because she has no blood relationship with her anyway.

But an adopted daughter also has the right of inheritance. If Yan Xi stayed in the Lin family, she would seize his son's property. Taking this factor into consideration, Lin's mother cooperated with Lin Ranran to drive Yan Xi away.

After Yan Xi left, Lin Ranran became a thorn in her side.

The Lin family is a wealthy family in Haicheng after all. Since Lin Ranran is a member of the Lin family, it is impossible that they will not give her a single cent when the property is divided.

Lin's mother had many complaints about this. You know, when Yan Xi was the daughter of the Lin family, she didn't have to worry about tuition every year. Her scholarship was enough to cover her tuition and living expenses.

When she left the Lin family, she gave them 10 million yuan as a token of repayment for their kindness.

After Lin Ranran returned to the Lin family, she did not learn much of the upbringing of a rich family's daughter, but she spent money like water.

The market has been bad recently, and the Lin family company has also been affected, and Lin's mother's pocket money has also been reduced. She still has to give Lin Ranran hundreds of thousands of expenses every month, and Lin's mother feels painful just thinking about it.

"How are you and Chu Mo doing recently?" Mother Lin finally asked Lin Ranran out of concern.

The Lin family and the Chu family have a cooperation, and the engagement between Lin Ranran and Chu Mo is very important.

"Brother Chu Mo is very good to me!" Lin Ranran answered obediently, "There will be no problem with our engagement!"

Mother Lin snorted, "You'd better hold on to Chu Mo tightly! If you lose this big customer, your father will beat you to death!"

Lin Ranran whispered, "I know..."

Chu Mo came to Licheng with her, and they were supposed to go back together today. But this morning, Lin Ranran sneaked a peek at Chu Mo's phone and saw a lot of Yan Xi's photos.

These are all screenshots of the live broadcast of "Let's Travel Together". In the screenshots, Yan Xi is smiling like a flower, her big eyes are like twinkling stars, and her fair skin radiates a soft glow under the sunlight.

Lin Ranran was so angry that she smashed Chu Mo's phone, and the two had a big fight. Until now, Chu Mo has not come to apologize to Lin Ranran.

Thinking of this, Lin Ranran became even more irritated. She looked for negative information about Yan Xi on Weibo and even photoshopped a few of her ugly photos. Only when she saw others scolding Yan Xi did Lin Ranran feel better.

Finally, it was time to board the plane, and Lin's mother stopped shopping. When she got into the first-class cabin, Lin Ranran checked her phone again.

Yan Xi has a very good reputation. Although there are not many discussions about her, most of them are positive. Lin Ranran was scrolling through Weibo in a distracted manner. After refreshing, Da Jiajun's Weibo appeared in Lin Ranran's Weibo square.

Lin Ranran's eyes widened, with a gleam of joy in them.

But...falsified academic qualifications?

Lin Ranran's gaze dimmed again.

Lin Ranran and Yan Xi lived together for a period of time. At that time, she had just returned to the Lin family, and Yan Xi had not yet left the Lin family. During that time, Lin Ranran was always shrouded in the halo of Yan Xi's "daughter of a famous socialite", so Lin Ranran knew very well that Yan Xi's academic qualifications were not fake. Not only did she get into Shanghai City University, she is now also a graduate student at Haicheng University.

This Weibo post by Dajiajun is fake and I don't think it will last long.

As for academic qualifications, if you have them you have them, and if you don't you don't have them. It is easy to prove yourself.

There has to be something that Yan Xi can't prove herself.

Thinking of this, Lin Ranran's mouth corners curled up slightly.
