Li Ruan was speechless: "Have you ever seen an 18th-tier celebrity with an assistant and bodyguard by their side?"
Xi Leng remained silent, his starry eyes fixed on her coldly, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, alright?" After saying that, Li Ruan cupped his face and kissed him on the lips. Mmm, so soft! No wonder she got addicted.
While the contract is still in effect, she'll kiss him a couple more times; a fool wouldn't pass up such a good deal!
Xi Leng: ...
He pressed her down a few more times, and if it weren't for the fact that she was still hungry, things probably would have escalated to the point of arousal right there in the car.
About half an hour later, the car finally came to a stop.
"Let's go, aren't you hungry? Let's go eat."
Xi Leng got out of the car first, then reached out and took Li Ruan's hand as they got out.
After standing still, Li Ruan glanced at the signboard. "Shijia Private Kitchen? You made a reservation in advance?"
Xi Leng glanced at her but didn't answer.
Li Ruan understood. Someone had special privileges; either the shop was owned by him or by his friend.
Sure enough, as soon as the two entered the hall, they were greeted by a middle-aged man: "Good day, President. The private room is ready. Would you like the dishes to be served according to your preferences today?"
"Add a few more spicy dishes." A young woman's preference.
"Yes, Mr. President."
The menu of a private restaurant is not fixed, but as the owner, you can add a few dishes on the spot.
The two were led to a private room. While waiting for the food, Li Ruan turned on her phone, and it immediately started ringing. Qiao Na made seventeen calls, left twelve voice messages, and three calls were from Wei Zi'an, followed by calls from Shen Qianqian and a few others.
I sent a message to all these people saying that nothing was wrong, and then casually clicked on Weibo.
In just over two hours, PearSoft was once again trending on social media for being attacked by online trolls: #TheMostCrazyOnlineTrollAttackInHistory,PearSoftTrendingAgain#
This trending topic is very fair and explains the matter very clearly. It started with an obscure celebrity receiving a work call and suspecting that someone was trying to scam her. She then went live to expose the scam.
What followed was the incident where Li Ruan took the scammer to the police station, but she was subjected to the most intense insults in history. In just one hour, comments from online trolls and haters insulting and morally blackmailing her reached over 100,000. As of press time, the number of comments has reached over 200,000, of which less than one-tenth are from genuine fans.
Because leaving a comment would result in being criticized, fans were too afraid to speak up.
The article concludes with the question: Who exactly did this artist named Li Ruan block, that people are unwilling to spend seven thousand yuan on online trolls to smear her?
Many netizens commented under the trending topic: "I also saw today's live stream. I felt quite relieved at the time. Those scammers clearly did this kind of thing more than once."
If Li Ruan hadn't exposed them, who knows how many more minor celebrities would have been harmed by them. Li Ruan clearly did a good deed, yet these people online don't empathize with the victims; instead, they feel sorry for the perpetrators and their families. What kind of mentality is that?
[My heart aches for Pear Soft for a second!]
[My heart aches for Pear Soft for a second!]
[The craziest online troll army in history, bar none! They're practically insane!]
Do you know what the funniest comment I saw is?
Li Ruan is a complete scumbag who cheats on his wife with three women at once; he should have been banned long ago!
It has over 700 likes. But the first reply under this comment, "666," has over 10,000 likes.
They don't even know if Riri is male or female before they start attacking her. Can't these paid trolls have some professional ethics?
[If it were me, I'd be accused of being depressed too!]
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly realize that Riri's heart is really strong!
[Just a passerby, but I felt this girl was being unfairly criticized, so I casually followed her.]
Same as above.
Same as above.
Li Ruan glanced at her Weibo following count and laughed; it had already reached 6.01 million.
Tsk~ If she gets attacked a couple more times, will her number of fans reach ten million?
Little did she know, while she was having a good time, the two people who bought her dirt on her were furious. They paid to get her trending on social media, and as a result, not only did many casual viewers pay attention to her, but some of her haters also betrayed her. They paid to get frustrated and ended up helping their enemies. They were so angry they wanted to die!
Xi Leng felt uncomfortable seeing that she had been engrossed in her phone since entering the private room, not even glancing at him. Was her phone really that attractive? More attractive than him?
He glanced at Li Ruan's phone screen, then subtly looked away, opened his own phone, and found Li Ruan's Weibo account to follow.
He immediately frowned in anger at the vicious comments above.
However, being a highly intelligent person, he quickly discovered the trickery in some of the comments.
"You didn't hire these online trolls yourself, did you?"
Li Ruan shook her head: "Spending seven figures to hire online trolls? How much do I earn in a year? I'm poor, I can't afford it!"
The luxurious bag fell silent instantly.
Xi Leng: ...If I hadn't seen you win over a hundred million at the banquet with my own eyes, I would have really believed it!
Yes, she's considered rich now...
Xi Leng pursed his lips, recalling the contract.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the waiter began to serve the dishes. Xi Leng reminded them, "No looking at your phone while eating."
Pear Soft: Why does this man suddenly have a fatherly vibe?
After putting down her phone, Li Ruan focused on her meal. The food at Shijia was definitely worth its price; it tasted really good. After a long day, Li Ruan was really hungry.
The meal lasted for more than half an hour. After putting down their chopsticks, they noticed that the man's expression was a little strange.
He usually just has a serious demeanor and looks a bit cold and ascetic, but now his coldness is clearly tinged with emotion.
"What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy. Did someone upset you? Tell me, and I'll go and teach them a lesson!"
Xi Leng put down his chopsticks. "Have you finished eating? If you're done, then let's go."
Li Ruan was unaware that throughout the entire meal, Xi Leng had one thing on his mind: how to keep someone here.
Yes, he still wants to revise the contract with PearSoft, as the previous year was a bit too short.
Moreover, he spent the time of a meal figuring out why he was so persistent about this: because of habit.
He hates change, and those around him hate it even more.
Just like He Cheng, he has this or that flaw, but over the years he has never been replaced.
That's right, that's exactly it.
He Cheng, who knew nothing: Thank you so much!
Li Ruan thought the man was angry with her, and as his sugar daddy, she had to coax him.
Reaching out to hug Xi Leng's arm, Li asked in a soft voice, "Do you have anything else to do when you get back tonight?"
"It's nothing, what's wrong?"
"How about we go see a movie together? I've never been to a movie with a man before. No, to be precise, you're the first person I've ever invited to go to a movie with. Would you do me the honor?"
She wasn't lying. The fake person wasn't a good person, but she cared a lot about her reputation. Apart from Ji Yunzhang, she had never gotten too close to any other man, but even with Ji Yunzhang, she had never watched a movie together.
