Chapter 2
Shen Fengni's life is covered with a gorgeous shell.
But beneath the brocade clothes, there is corruption.
She had been stuck in a quagmire since she was born, like being trapped in a cage, unable to break free or escape.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about seeking redemption.
When she first met Yu Qian, Shen Fengni thought her life had turned around. Yu Qian was young, beautiful, and extremely capable, and initially showed her enough kindness.
It was like a ray of light shining into her life, bright and warm, so beautiful that it seemed unreal.
It's not that I didn't have concerns, and I was afraid that I would get hurt if I got any closer, but Shen Fengni had been walking alone for too long and couldn't resist such warmth.
At that time, Shen Fengni tried desperately to grab a life-saving straw, but in the end, the opposite of what he wanted happened.
Yu Qian pulled her out of the mud and then pushed her into another abyss.
"You had a fight with Mr. Yu, didn't you?" Song Manman tried to comfort her with her limited life experience. "Young couples always have fights. Mr. Yu is so good to you. You'll make up in a few days. You should calm down first."
In the eyes of people around her, Yu Qian is undoubtedly a model partner.
Chen Fengni married Yu Qian about six months ago and, naturally, signed a contract with her media company. With professional management and promotion, her career flourished, her account's followers rapidly multiplied, and her livestream revenue skyrocketed.
But these are just appearances after all.
"There was no quarrel."
Shen Fengni spoke in a low voice, feeling mixed emotions.
"What's going on? Tell me about it."
Looking at Song Manman's concerned eyes, Shen Fengni suddenly had the urge to tell her everything.
But she immediately gave up the idea.
The dilemma she faced was not something Song Manman could solve at all. What was the point of speaking it out? It would only add one more person to the trouble.
So Shen Fengni finally just sighed softly, "It's really no big deal. You're right, I was impulsive."
Song Manman breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, she started talking about gossip in the company to make people happy.
By the time the meal was over, it was already past nine. Song Manman paid the bill first, then, worriedly, sent the man to the car before leaving.
On the way back, Shen Fengni took a look at the chat software.
Zhezhi never replied, and the chat history still stopped at the sentence he sent: "What about you?"
Then, she received a text message notifying her of insufficient phone credit. In today's world, it's difficult to get around without a phone. Shen Fengni moved her fingers and added a hundred yuan to her phone.
The bank deduction information followed closely, and Shen Fengni glanced at the balance.
Four-digit number, starting with five.
The car turned a corner and began to speed up. The light and shadows inside the car changed with the lights passing by the window, obscuring the expressions on the faces of the people inside.
Shen Fengni's gaze lingered on the string of numbers for a moment, and Song Manman's words of comfort to her when they parted emerged uncontrollably in her mind.
"Look at it more positively. Even if you really can't make ends meet, you still have plenty of money. You'll be happy no matter how much money you have."
If I tell others about my current financial situation, it will probably surprise everyone, or no one will believe it at all.
Shen Fengni curled her lips in self-mockery and casually opened the "Moment" app.
Almost all anchors will use their secondary accounts to watch other people’s live broadcasts in their free time, and Chen Fengni is no exception.
Most of her followers are talent streamers, as well as some entertainment and comedy bloggers. Hiding behind the screen as an audience member, rather than facing the camera as a streamer, can help soothe the nerves that are tense due to live streaming.
After watching two funny jokes, a live broadcast came into view.
It is the official live broadcast room of a well-known media outlet, and the number of online users in the upper right corner shows over 100,000.
The young woman on the screen is being interviewed.
The woman was slender, dressed in a beautifully tailored black velvet dress. Her long, dark hair was tied up, and her skin, exposed at the neckline, was as cold as jade. She looked like a work of art that the Creator had most pleased with, with no imperfections. Even just standing there, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
The river is covered with smoke.
Shen Fengni's gaze paused slightly, and he silently recited the other person's name in his heart.
At this moment, Jiang Zhuoyan on the screen happened to be looking towards the camera. She was caught off guard by those cold and beautiful eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Ms. Jiang, it's almost been a year since Jianghu Nuo launched. The achievements we've made are obvious to all, and we're deeply loved by our players. What would you most like to say to our players on this anniversary?"
Jianghu Nuo, the flagship game of Yimeng Game Media, is currently the most popular holographic ancient style game. Immersive experience is the eternal pursuit of holographic RPG games, and Jianghu Nuo has also made great efforts in this regard.
There are many ways to play the game, just like a real world, with a high degree of freedom, and almost everyone can find their own happiness in it.
Moreover, the plot of the game is extremely exciting and full of twists and turns, which makes people linger on it and feel melancholy even after logging off, truly embodying the meaning of "being in the game" to the extreme.
Jiang Zhuoyan is the president of Yimeng and the producer of Jianghu Nuo. Achieving such success at such a young age is extremely rare in the industry.
"First of all, thank you all for your continued support and love for Jianghu Nuo..."
Jiang Zhuoyan's voice was pleasant, like a cool, refreshing spring, refreshing the heart. There was a faint smile in her eyes, and she looked calm and composed.
It was obviously a very common polite remark, but when it came out of her mouth, it became much more vivid.
"No matter where you are now or where you are going, Jianghu Nuo will always be your utopia. I hope you are happy in the game."
When Jiang Zhuoyan was speaking about her closing statement, the camera suddenly zoomed in, and that beautiful and flawless face was instantly close.
The high-definition camera magnified every detail, and Shen Fengni suddenly discovered that Jiang Zhuoyan's pupils were not pure black, but a darker dark blue.
It reminded her of the clear winter night sky, and also of the deep and boundless ocean.
The audience was overwhelmed by the beauty filter and the barrage of comments skyrocketed, but none of them were about the game.
[What kind of divine looks does Mr. Jiang have? He would be quite impressive even in the entertainment industry, right?]
Today is also a day I shed tears for my sister's beauty. If I can't see my sister for even one day, some of my beautiful qualities will disappear. QAQ.
[Don't try to use the "traffic idol" trap on Mr. Xiao Jiang. He's a talented person, not just a pretty face.]
…
Jiang Zhuoyan took over "Yi Meng" after returning from studying abroad. Because of her young age and inexperience, many veterans had complaints at the beginning, but they were soon impressed by her abilities and methods.
Later, the huge success of "Jiang Hu Nuo" helped her gain a firm foothold in the company, and no one objected anymore.
When Jiang Zhuoyan first appeared in front of the public as a game producer, she became a hot topic because of her beauty and became an instant hit.
Therefore, there is a joke among players: The signature of "Yimeng" is not "Jiang Hu Nuo", but Mr. Jiang himself.
The car drove into the underground garage and slowed down smoothly.
The interview in the live broadcast room was coming to an end. Amid the enthusiastic cheers from the comments, Jiang Zhuoyan said goodbye to the audience gently and politely.
The music started and the soft light fell on her, diluting the coldness between her brows.
Chen Fengni didn't believe that there were perfect people in the world. Gains and losses were the norm in life.
But after knowing Jiang Zhuoyan, she had to admit that sometimes the Creator was indeed very partial and would give all the good things to one person.
I'm afraid that such an outstanding person will never have any intersection with her in his life.
Shen Fengni lowered her eyes.
Perhaps it was her inferiority complex that made her feel inexplicably lost.
With tens of seconds left before the live broadcast room closed, Jiang Zhuoyan on the screen looked down at her phone. She was typing with a focused expression, as if she was sending a message to someone.
A quick-handed fan posted a barrage of comments:
[Oh, you're chatting with someone, right? Can't wait?]
[No, the show hasn't ended yet? Who is secretly happy behind my back, making Xiao Jiang rush to reply?]
[Where does love come from among gamers? 80% of it is work news.]
…
Everyone says Xiao Jiang is a workaholic and has never been involved in any gossip, so it shouldn't be idle chat.
Shen Fengni thought about it and voted for the work news in her heart.
The live broadcast ended at this moment, and the car also happened to stop. Shen Fengni closed the "Moment" app and prepared to get out of the car and go home.
The next second, a message suddenly popped up on the chat software.
Zhezhi: Sorry, I have a lot to do tonight and have been busy just now.
