"Hey, don't even mention it. I just graduated from university and couldn't find a job before. My roommate said he knew an advertising company that was hiring, so all of us who got along well with him went together. I didn't expect to actually pass the interview, but I messed up the business after less than a month and then I lost my job."
That's not even the worst part; the boss is threatening to sue us. We had no choice but to agree to pay compensation.
The comments section was buzzing with laughter: "Scammers are getting crazier these days, even celebrities are getting scammed!"
[Li Ruan is really something! She can lie so easily, and I must say, she acts quite convincingly!]
The person on the other end was clearly in a good mood. "That's easy. I have several open positions here, and I'll take as many as you have. If you're sure you want to come, I can prepay your travel expenses!"
Li Ruan: "Really? You can really prepay for the travel expenses? We'll definitely go! Where is your company located?"
The other party hesitated for a moment before revealing their location, "In T Province. You can book your tickets now. Tell me what time you arrive, and I'll send someone to pick you up."
Li Ruan immediately exited the call and searched for flights and ticket prices to T Province. "Each ticket to T Province costs 4429 yuan. There are twelve of us. Will we all be able to get jobs if we go?"
The other party hesitated for a moment.
Li Ruan sighed, "Forget it, let's not go. I remember the other day my apartment complex was hiring security guards. The pay is a bit low, but at least we don't have to leave our hometown and go to another city..."
"No, our company can arrange it. Just give me an account number and I'll transfer the money to buy you a plane ticket right away."
Li Ruan quickly gave her bank card number and then hung up the phone.
Director Wang had already run out and was looking at Li Ruan with a nervous expression. Li Ruan said, "Don't worry, let me call the police first."
Director Wang: ...You seem to know the process quite well.
"Hello, this is the 110 emergency call center."
"Hello, this is Li Ruan. I'm currently participating in the recording of the variety show 'Let's Go on an Adventure'. I just received a scam call. The caller is trying to trick me into working in T province. The phone number is 189****4490. I just gave them my account number, and they might transfer money to me."
The operator was momentarily stunned. "You said you gave them your account number, not the other way around?"
"Yes. He said he would send me money for my plane ticket, but I don't know if he will actually do it."
The operator was convinced by the result.
Just then, Li Ruan's phone rang again. She picked it up and glanced at it. "Officer, the other party has transferred the money, a total of 60,000 yuan. What should I do with this money?"
The operator looked shocked: "Is this scammer crazy? They actually sent money to their own target?"
"We have accepted your report. I will immediately notify my colleagues to find out the other party's location. Also, if the other party contacts you again, please try to stall them and make them reveal more flaws. Please contact us anytime if you need anything."
The call ended, and Li Ruan smiled at Director Wang, "Shall we continue the game?"
Director Wang: What the hell are you talking about? The live stream chat is going crazy! You, with your silver tongue, managed to swindle 60,000 yuan from the scammers! You even managed to cheat the scammers! How can anyone still enjoy playing the game?
"Why are you still playing games! Shouldn't you stop the live stream? What if the scammer finds out you're lying to him? Won't he get away with it?"
The comments section is going crazy! [Don't stop! Don't stop! Director Wang, if you dare stop, we'll never come again! We want to see Li Ruan transform into a con artist to scam other con artists!]
[Oh my god, this is the first time I've ever seen someone get scammed by a con artist. How is Pear Soft's brain working?]
[Everyone can watch it, but please don't let this get trending on social media, or it will scare away scammers.]
I secretly let my child watch the live stream, hoping it would sharpen his mind and prevent him from being scammed. Now, I'm worried he might be influenced by bad habits.
[Are you kidding me? This is clearly a positive and uplifting live stream.]
Don't worry, kids aren't that easily spoiled!
[Li Ruan is probably the first person in history to scam money from a con artist.]
At this moment, Pear's phone received a message: No need to stop, you can continue recording the program, just don't bring up the topic from before.
Li Ruan showed her phone to Director Wang, who breathed a sigh of relief. The number of viewers for the show had nearly doubled, and if it were to be stopped directly, he would suffer huge losses.
"Why don't you all perform a talent show?" Once everyone has performed a talent show, the live stream should be almost over.
Just as the guests were discussing what talents to perform, evidence of Soho hiring online trolls to discredit Pear Soft was posted online.
Less than twenty minutes later, a video of Soho having an affair with two friends at a bar was also leaked.
Netizens knew that such videos would be taken down soon, so they quickly downloaded and saved them. Then, Su He's two obscure friends were also exposed because of her, and two more people's entertainment dreams were shattered.
Because of the high popularity of the variety show "Let's Go on an Adventure", netizens flocked to the live broadcast room via the internet.
The number of viewers in the live stream once exceeded 50 million.
[Quickly, let me see where the female lead is in this harem novel!]
She probably doesn't know what's going on online yet; look how disgusting her smile is!
Soho, get out of the show!
Soho, get out of the entertainment industry!
[This girl just said she'd never been in a relationship, and then she had sex with someone! It's disgusting!]
[The person who posted the video probably couldn't stand her disgusting behavior anymore, which is why they exposed her. They're really slapping themselves in the face!]
The program staff naturally noticed because so many people were discussing it.
Xiao Jiang, who was in charge of monitoring, told Director Wang about the situation.
Director Wang's face turned green!
"The live stream is paused. Turn off all the cameras."
The Golden Horse Award-winning actor asked curiously, "Director Wang, what happened?"
Director Wang beckoned directly to Su He, "Su He, come here for a moment."
Soho: "Director, what's wrong?"
Director Wang, with a dark expression, handed Su He's phone to her: "Take a look for yourself."
Soho: ...
She opened her phone and saw two trending topics about her online. Her face turned pale, and she panicked.
"I didn't. These are all fake. I'm friends with Li Ruan. Why would I smear her? Someone must have deliberately photoshopped these pictures."
"The evidence is all online, so why are you saying it's fake! Just quit the show. I'll have my assistant talk to you about the breach of contract fee."
Su He shook her head and refused to admit it no matter what, because if she did, she would really be dead!
Li Ruan moved her right hand slightly, and a talisman appeared silently in her hand. Then, an invisible spiritual force was released, and the talisman flew out along with the spiritual force and landed directly on Su He's body. The speed was so fast that even the camera couldn't capture it. The talisman disappeared as soon as it touched Su He's body.
