Chapter 8, Chapter 8: The Heroine.
Shen Feifei is a female knight-errant.
In her second year of high school, Chen Ci accidentally stumbled upon a case of school bullying. She had only gone to the restroom and never expected to see this scene.
She stood at the toilet door, caught between a rock and a hard place. The girl in the lead arrogantly questioned her, "What are you doing here?"
Chen Ci said, "I'm going to the toilet."
Then the other person told her to go to another toilet.
Chen Ci didn't speak. She glanced inside and met the gaze of the girl surrounded in the middle. She could tell the girl was pleading for help, but there were five of them. Could she fight them off?
As it turned out, she could win.
Not only could they defeat them, but they also achieved a record of fighting five opponents without suffering any casualties.
However, she herself had no memory of it.
When she came to her senses, she was already standing in the office with five girls whose faces were bruised to varying degrees.
The girl they had cornered in the restroom was also there; it was then that Chen Ci learned her name was Li Linrui.
In many cases of school bullying, the victims dare not speak out, but Li Linrui is different. Not only does she speak out, she also exaggerates her stories and even goes on the school radio station to tell the whole school during breaks.
Because of Li Linrui's strong testimony, and the video evidence on the phone that Shen Ci stole, the school quickly investigated the matter and gave the five girls a demerit and a public reprimand. Shen Ci also became famous overnight and was rumored to be the eighth strangest story on campus.
After things calmed down, Chen Ci went to see a doctor, who said she might have dissociative identity disorder, commonly known as multiple personality disorder.
Shen Ci didn't know how long Shen Feifei had been inside her body, but every time she appeared, there was a reason for her appearance.
For example, today.
Chi Yifei was still pinned to the table, struggling in disbelief. The entire lounge was eerily quiet, with everyone watching Chi Yifei fluttering around like a quail with the same expression.
"Let go of me right now! Do you know who I am?!" Chi Yifei roared furiously, but because of his current posture, it looked like he was just raging in a helpless manner.
Shen Feifei replied calmly, "I don't know, you're not very famous, are you?"
Chi Yifei broke down in profanity again, and his assistant took a step forward, trying to rescue him from Shen Feifei's grasp. Shen Feifei turned around, her gaze falling on the assistant, whose feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move.
"What happened? What happened?" Li Linrui heard about the commotion and rushed over to join in the fun, only to find that the person behind the gossip was Chen Ci!
Seeing her like this, she knew it was Shen Feifei again. She quickly went into the lounge and tried to persuade her, "Be gentle, or someone might die in our station!"
"..." Shen Feifei slowly released Chi Yifei, who finally straightened up from the table, straightening his clothes while glaring fiercely at her.
"This isn't over. I want a medical examination and I want to call the police!"
Faced with Chi Yifei's clamor, Shen Feifei didn't care at all: "Go ahead and report it, make the matter as big as possible."
Chi Yifei sneered, "Are you threatening me?"
"There's nothing I can do if that's how you think."
"you……"
Chi Yifei was about to say something when Li Linrui interrupted him, saying, "Teacher Chi, even if we're going to call the police, shouldn't we call them first? If it gets online, netizens will dig deeper and deeper, and you might end up in jail yourself."
Chi Yifei frowned and glanced at Li Linrui's name tag: "A junior editor at the TV station, and she's got quite the big mouth."
Shen Feifei chimed in, "You're just an unknown little star, but you have quite the temper."
Chi Yifei scoffed in anger. According to his personality, he would have already made a move by now, but his arms and neck were still aching, and he didn't know who the woman in front of him was, despite her immense strength.
"Brother Chi, let it go, let it go. If we make a scene, we'll be the ones who suffer." Chi Yifei's assistant stepped forward to persuade him, giving him a way out. Chi Yifei hadn't gained any advantage verbally or physically, so he could only glare at them before leaving the lounge with his assistant.
Li Linrui spat behind his back and went over to comfort Xu Ning: "How are you? He didn't hit you, did he?"
Xu Ning shook her head, and only then did tears fall.
"It's alright, it's alright." Li Linrui patted her shoulder and handed her a pack of tissues.
Xu Ning wiped her face with a tissue and looked at her with some concern: "After all this commotion today, won't he cause you any trouble?"
“He wouldn’t dare,” Li Linrui said disdainfully. “He’s just taking advantage of his obscurity to commit crimes. He’s got a lot of scandals. He finally got some recognition as the second male lead. If he’s not stupid, he would never cause trouble at this time.”
Shen Feifei, who was standing next to him, said, "But he does seem a bit dim-witted."
Li Linrui: "..."
Xu Ning wiped away the tears on her face, took a deep breath, walked up to Shen Feifei and said, "Teacher Shen, it's almost time for the rehearsal. Let me take you there."
"..." Shen Feifei paused for a moment, "Me?"
Xu Ning asked in confusion, "Yes."
Shen Feifei: "..."
“Chi Yifei is also on this episode, and you two might even be on stage together later.” Li Linrui leaned closer to her. “You should go.”
Li Linrui knew about Chen Ci's illness when they were in school, and the two became best friends who could talk about anything after that bullying incident.
Shen Feifei followed Xu Ning to the studio, and Li Linrui told the onlookers to disperse before she went back to her work.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Mingye returned to his lounge, repeatedly watched the video of Chi Yifei being beaten on his phone, and then sat on the sofa and laughed out loud.
No, this is so funny, I have to send it to his brother.
Zhou Mingye: That Chi Yifei from our company, I've disliked him for a long time, and guess what? He got beaten up at the TV station today! [LOL.jpg]
Zhou Shilin was looking at documents when he received a message from Zhou Mingye. He hadn't planned to open it, but there was a familiar figure in the video who looked like Chen Ci.
He glanced at the chat page for two seconds, put down the file, and started the video call.
When Chi Yifei kicked over the chair, Zhou Mingye arrived at the scene immediately and secretly started recording a video while mingling in the crowd. Everything happened so fast that not only Chi Yifei was surprised, but he was also very surprised.
As Zhou Shilin watched the video of Shen Feifei helping Xu Ning out of a predicament and pressing Chi Yifei onto the table, her eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly. Her movements were very professional, as if she had practiced.
Zhou Mingye: This female warrior is not only incredibly skilled in martial arts, but she's also a sharp-tongued one! The TV station should award her a "Combating Evil and Protecting the People" award!
After watching the video, Zhou Shilin pondered for a moment and replied to Zhou Mingye, "Do you know who she is?"
Zhou Mingye: This is also my first time meeting her, but I heard from the staff that she is a guest who came to record the show today. If you are interested, I can get her contact information for you later.
Zhou Shilin: No need.
I have.
Zhou Mingye: Oh my, you've even put it on.
Zhou Shilin turned off his phone screen and ignored him.
After Shen Feifei finished her rehearsal, she returned to the same dressing room. The host's rehearsal was not yet over, and the official recording would have to wait a while longer.
Xu Ning said this lounge wasn't private, but perhaps because of what Chi Yifei had done earlier, no one else was here. Shen Feifei sat alone inside for a while when she suddenly heard someone knock twice on the door.
She turned her head and saw a young man standing at the door, taller than Chi Yifei. His makeup was a bit exaggerated, but his face was quite good-looking, even somewhat resembling... Zhou Shilin?
Shen Feifei's lips twitched; she found it hard to imagine Zhou Shilin dressed like this.
"Are you also a guest recording the show today?" Shen Feifei asked.
Zhou Mingye was taken aback and looked at her with some surprise: "You don't recognize me?"
Shen Feifei was also stunned for a moment. What did that mean? Could he really be Zhou Shilin?
“I’m Zhou Mingye, Astral, ever heard of me?” Zhou Mingye struck a classic Astral pose.
Shen Feifei said, "I've heard of Astral, but I haven't heard of Zhou Mingye."
She was relieved that it wasn't Zhou Shilin.
"..." Zhou Mingye, feeling like he had suffered a thousand points of damage, clutched his chest, then smiled and comforted himself, "It's okay, you probably really don't follow celebrities."
Shen Feifei responded with an "Mmm," neither she nor Chen Ci had any interest in following celebrities.
Zhou Mingye felt much better. He smiled at Shen Feifei, took his phone, and walked into the lounge: "Heroine, can I add you on WeChat? You looked so cool beating up Chi Yifei just now!"
Shen Feifei corrected, "I didn't beat him up, I just loosened my wrists."
“…Okay.” Zhou Mingye smiled. “Can I add you on WeChat?”
Shen Feifei thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Does this count as privately contacting your fans?"
Zhou Mingye was somewhat surprised that she knew about privately contacting fans even though she didn't follow celebrities: "It doesn't count, because you're not a fan."
"..." Hmm, that makes sense. Zhou Mingye's QR code was already in front of her; it would be impolite of her not to add it.
She scanned Zhou Mingye's QR code, and Zhou Mingye excitedly said to her from across the room, "Heroine, do you know what? I've wanted to beat up that brat Chi Yifei for a long time."
Shen Feifei asked, "Then why don't you fight back? Is it because you can't beat them?"
"..." Zhou Mingye choked for a moment, "It's not that we can't beat them, it's just that we work in the same company and the interpersonal relationships are very complicated."
"Um."
"...I mean it."
"Um."
"..." No, did he learn this way of speaking from his brother?
Oh no, when his brother doesn't want to talk to him, he won't even give him a simple "hmm". :)
After returning to his lounge, he sent a message to Zhou Shilin: "I've found out that this female knight is named Chen Ci. She is the manager of Pupu Paradise and is here to promote a collaboration on the show."
Sinking porcelain? Zhou Shilin looked at the message, his gaze darkening slightly.
In his view, this is more like Shen Feifei.
When Tian Xu came to see him, he was watching a video that Zhou Mingye had sent him earlier. Tian Xu placed the documents on his desk and asked curiously, "What are you watching, President?"
As far as he knew, their CEO didn't enjoy watching short videos.
Zhou Shilin glanced at him but didn't answer. He simply forwarded the video to him.
Tian Xu curiously opened it, then stood there dumbfounded, holding his phone, exclaiming, "No, no, no, this is a piece of porcelain?!?!"
She's actually that skilled?? She just casually took down a 1.8-meter-tall man??
...He suddenly realized that the reason he had been able to survive under Shen Ci for so long was entirely due to her beauty, generosity, kindness, tolerance, integrity, friendliness, humility, and self-discipline.
