In the love hut, Yun Yirou was curled up in her room in a daze.
She has been particularly unlucky recently since she sacrificed part of her luck to the jade bracelet in order to frame Ning Chuchu some time ago.
She would fall when walking on flat ground, and get food stuck in her teeth when drinking cold water... She almost thought she was going to die several times!
Originally, she was eager to try to conquer Pei Xingyan, a man of great luck, but she was so unlucky that she made a fool of herself in front of other people every day. As time went by, she became too embarrassed to show up in public and stayed in her room all day.
It just so happens that staying in the room all the time can reduce the risk of danger. She even has to be very careful when eating and drinking water every day, even so, she almost choked several times...
Yun Yirou questioned her life countless times. Was the jade bracelet really her golden finger to deal with Ning Chuchu? Why was she the one who was almost killed?!
She looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist and asked, "How long will this bad luck last? Will I really get into an accident?"
Yuzhuo was silent for a while before saying, "...it should be healed soon."
Yuzhuo's voice was full of temptation, and she said gently, "The reason why you ended up like this is because I failed to absorb the heroine's luck."
"Hurry up and think of a way. As long as you can trick the heroine into lying, I can absorb her luck! Even if you can't make her lie, you can still find a way to make her suffer a setback, so that I can do something more convenient."
"You can't imagine how rich the heroine's luck is. If I can extract even a little bit of it, we can get rid of this embarrassing predicament!"
"Aren't you the fiancé of the coveted heroine? As long as I absorb her luck and accumulate enough energy, I can give you all kinds of rewards! Supreme beauty, a slim figure, excellent luck... I can even temporarily give you a halo that will fascinate everyone, so that Xie will lose his mind as soon as he sees you!"
"As long as I can absorb the heroine's luck, I can let you get everything you want!"
The jade bracelet used tempting words to paint a big, fragrant cake for Yun Yirou.
After hearing these words, Yun Yirou was shocked and her breathing became heavier. Her spirit, which had been very unlucky and depressed recently, suddenly ignited again. She was full of fighting spirit again.
"Okay, okay..." Yun Yirou murmured with shining eyes, "I will make Ning Chuchu lie, or create some trouble for her..."
Yun Yirou pondered for a moment, suddenly took out her cell phone and made a call.
"Hey, Brother Li, what's going on with Ning Chuchu recently?"
The person Yun Yirou contacted was a senior manager of the brokerage company where Ning Chuchu worked, and he also had an old grudge against Ning Chuchu.
Yun Yirou tried every means to get in touch with this Brother Li, giving him some benefits from time to time, and he would reveal some internal information of the company to her so that she could keep abreast of Ning Chuchu's work progress at any time.
Ning Chuchu once refuted Brother Li's face in public, and Brother Li has always been upset about it, so he is happy to reveal the news to Yun Yirou. As long as it is not good for Ning Chuchu, he will feel relieved.
Yun Yirou listened attentively to what Brother Li was saying in a low voice. When she heard something, her eyes lit up. "Wait, you said your company plans to arrange for Ning Chuchu to do live streaming to sell goods?"
"Yes, the profits from live streaming are too huge now, and Ning Chuchu is very popular, so it's obvious that she can make a lot of money. How could the boss miss this opportunity?"
Yun Yirou asked, "What goods do you want her to bring?"
"There are many brands that want to cooperate with our company, but not many can afford Ning Chuchu. Currently, only one big-name lipstick brand is qualified," said Brother Li.
Yun Yirou pondered for a moment and asked, "What brands have contacted your company? Send them to me."
After receiving the file from Brother Li, Yun Yirou quickly browsed through the brands that had cooperated with Ning Chuchu's company. When she saw one of the brands, she was overjoyed and contacted Brother Li again immediately.
"Brother Li, can you find a way to replace the product Ning Chuchu sells on her live stream with this one?"
Li Ge only took a look at it and denied it, saying, "This facial mask is just a small brand. The advertising fee is not much. The company has already given the task of promoting this brand to another artist. The money this brand offers is not enough to hire Ning Chuchu."
Yun Yirou gritted her teeth and made up her mind after a long while: "How about this, I'll pay for the remaining amount, and you just need to find a way to get Ning Chuchu to sell this mask!"
Yun Yirou carefully warned: "Don't reveal my role in this. You have to find a way to hide it from the mask brand and Ning Chuchu at the same time. I will pay Ning Chuchu to promote the products! You have to make her think that the brand has invited her, and she must promote the products and cannot refuse!"
Brother Li almost thought he had heard wrongly, "You... do you really hate Ning Chuchu? You can't be in love with her, right? Otherwise, I really can't understand why you took the initiative to give her money."
Yun Yirou was frightened by his words and coughed for a long time before she angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly like her?! Anyway, I'm paying for it, so just do it!"
Li Ge hesitated and said, "But... the mask brand hired another artist. If I temporarily replace her with Ning Chuchu... what should I do if the brand is looking for trouble with me?"
"It's just a pheasant brand, so I'm offended." Yun Yirou didn't care at all and said disdainfully, "Don't worry about them. If they have any opinions, let them come to me. After all, I am the daughter of the Ning family. How dare such a small workshop go against me?"
Brother Li laughed, "Since Miss Yun is so generous, I will do my job. You can transfer the money to me now. Let me make it clear first, the reward for asking Ning Chuchu to bring the goods is not a small amount."
"Don't talk nonsense, act quickly!"
Yun Yirou agreed readily, but when she saw Brother Li asking her how much money she wanted, she still felt heartbroken.
Is Ning Chuchu so famous now? It costs so much to ask her to bring a product? Yun Yirou was so jealous, but she could only bear the pain and personally transfer all the money she had saved with great difficulty.
When she thought that her private money would eventually go into Ning Chuchu's pocket...her heart ached even more!
It’s okay, it’s okay. Money is just external things. The most important thing now is to make Ning Chuchu lie or get into trouble. Her luck is the most important!
Yuzhu, who had been watching coldly, finally couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?"
Yun Yirou showed a determined smile on her face, and explained to Yuzhu: "As long as I can force Ning Chuchu to take on the task of live streaming and selling goods, my goal will be half achieved!"
"I have carefully selected a brand that is obviously bad and has no quality certificates. If Ning Chuchu wants to sell this mask with questionable quality in the live broadcast room, she can only exaggerate it in every possible way! As long as she deliberately promotes this mask with no quality certificates, she will lie, and you will successfully absorb her luck!"
However, Yuzhuo was not optimistic. "I see that the heroine's behavior has changed a lot recently. Many times, she is frighteningly honest. Are you sure she would lie and praise this mask just to promote it?"
"What if she decides to go the extreme and expose the badness of this mask in public to maintain her straightforward and sharp-tongued personality? After all, the heroine probably doesn't care about the little money she makes from live streaming."
Yun Yirou had already considered this situation, and smiled confidently, "Don't worry. If Ning Chuchu doesn't cooperate, I will buy some trolls to attack her for being unprofessional. She took the brand's money, but said the brand was not good in front of the audience. Even if there is a problem with this product, why did you take on the task of promoting it? You took the brand's money, but said the product was not good. Isn't this... trying to build a memorial archway?"
"As long as we use this to promote it, there will definitely be audiences who will stand on our side and criticize her. Besides, if Ning Chuchu really dares to do this, which brand will dare to cooperate with her? She will definitely encounter a lot of trouble. This can be considered a setback for her, right? Then you can take action."
Yuzhuo was silent for a long time, then asked, "You don't even know the brand of that facial mask, but you're using them like this... What if they cause trouble for you?"
Yun Yirou sneered disdainfully: "How can a small-time brand like this with no background have the guts to cause trouble to me? Don't worry about it."
"Well, I hope it works this time."
Yun Yirou raised her chin proudly, "This time, it will definitely succeed!"
Ning Chuchu didn't know that the live streaming sales job that she hated so much was a trap carefully set for her by her good stepsister.
The next day, after Ning Chuchu finished filming her scenes, she said hello to Director Zou and hurriedly left the set to head to the live broadcast venue.
On the way, Sister Zhang carefully looked at Ning Chuchu's face for a long time. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Chuchu, are you angry? Don't hold it in. Let's curse the company together!"
Ning Chuchu looked at her in surprise and shook her head in amusement, "You think too much. I'm not angry."
Sister Zhang didn't believe it at all and just sighed quietly.
How could one not be angry? Anyone who is at the height of his popularity and is suddenly coerced by a company into doing a livestream to sell goods, and the goods he sells are three-no products, will be angry.
Unfortunately, they were controlled by the company and could not resist, so they could only endure it.
However, Ning Chuchu was really not angry at all.
If you want to promote the product, then promote it. The mask with no quality certification should be of good quality. Otherwise, the truth system will teach him a lesson. :)
Anyway, as long as she tells the truth, she will have a lucky buff and the result will always be good.
Even if she makes a scene during the live broadcast, so what? It's not like she hasn't made a scene before. Anyway, she won't be the one who gets hurt.
As for other people, such as the facial mask brand, and the company that forced her to take on the task of promoting products... they can only wish for the best.
Soon, they arrived at the live broadcast venue. This time, Ning Chuchu was going to cooperate with the top anchor of the live broadcast session. According to the other party, Ning Chuchu did not need to perform in a special way.
Because professional anchors will introduce product features and discounts in detail, they will also mobilize the atmosphere in the live broadcast room and try every means to get everyone to place orders.
Ning Chuchu only needs to casually say a few official phrases such as "the product is easy to use", "I am using it too", "everyone must try it", etc., and she will be considered to have completed her mission.
Ning Chuchu appeared in the live broadcast room with an elegant and calm smile on her face, and greeted everyone with a smile, "Hello everyone, I am Ning Chuchu."
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room instantly became heated, and the crazy screen-swiping speed showed Ning Chuchu's extremely high popularity.
【Wow! Sister Ning is so beautiful! 】
[Wuwuwu, what is Sister Ning busy with recently? I haven’t seen Sister Ning in the live broadcast of "Love" for a long time, I miss her! 】
[Our Chuchu is currently filming a movie! Welcome everyone to pay attention to Director Zou’s new movie - "Swordsman"! Chuchu plays the second female lead in it! ]
[Good fellow, now she has become Director Zou’s second female lead, Sister Ning has made great progress! ]
[Without Ning Chuchu, "Love" is really boring... Who understands? ]
[I totally understand! I miss Sister Ning! ]
[It’s so funny. Ning Jie is not on the live broadcast of the love variety show these past two days. The popularity of the live broadcast is only one-fourth of the previous one. I won’t say who is the top star. 】
[The remaining quarter should have gone to see the dog, right? I mean, the dog was so noisy that I got mad just by looking at it. Fortunately, I wasn't the one who was tortured by it.]
[Ah, this... Without Ning Chuchu, does "Love" now have to rely on the dog to boost the ratings? I'm dying of laughter. ]
[After all, the production team of "Love" was too high for Sister Ning! ]
[By the way, I was a little surprised that Ning Chuchu would come to promote the product. Hmm... it feels a little low. ]
[Why do big stars want to steal the jobs of internet celebrities? Excuse me, this is really low, I feel embarrassed for Ning Chuchu...]
[It's even more embarrassing. The product Ning Chuchu is going to bring today is a small brand of wild chicken with no quality assurance...]
[Ah? Is this true? Why is Ning Chuchu so depressed?! It’s not easy for her to have such good relationships now! She should take care of her reputation!]
[Really. The anchor just released a preview, Ning Chuchu is going to bring a three-no facial mask. ]
[I thought Ning Chuchu was an honest and upright person, but I didn't expect that she would also spend money...]
[Ah! The promotion has officially started. Oh my god, Ning Chuchu is really going to promote a facial mask that I’ve never heard of! ]
[It’s over. My filter for Sister Ning is shattered to pieces…]
…
Ning Chuchu couldn't see the rapidly scrolling screen in the live broadcast room, nor could she see the audience's comments at that moment, but she could guess more or less.
She smiled calmly, and did not look embarrassed at all even though she was holding a box of facial masks that anyone with a discerning eye would know was a product of a V company.
The anchor next to me was promoting it: "This mask uses the most natural activated carbon and seaweed ingredients. It has both good cleansing ability and strong moisturizing effect. Chuchu, I heard that you also use this mask privately, is that right?"
Ning Chuchu glanced at him and said firmly, "Of course not."
Anchor: “…”
The anchor had seen a lot of things before, so he immediately tried to help Ning Chuchu out. "Ah, Chuchu must have not had the chance to try it yet. So, do you want to experience the cleansing effect of this mud mask in person?"
Ning Chuchu smiled and refused, "Forget it, my face is so beautiful, I wish I could insure it so that it won't suffer any harm."
Anchor: “…”
At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
[What's going on? Is Sister Ning promoting products in the opposite direction? ]
[Hey guys, things are starting to get interesting! [rub hands together]]
[I see. Sister Ning was forced to do business. I guess the dog company forced her to take on this activity.]
[No wonder...I am dying of laughter.]
[I am so relieved that Ning Chuchu did not go against her conscience and praise this three-no product! ]
[But she should have received money from the brand, right? Isn't it a bad idea to do this? ]
[Besides, what did the anchor do wrong? She made him look so embarrassed.]
Afterwards, the host tried hard to save the reputation of this mask, but Ning Chuchu just refused to accept it.
Anchor: "This product has a very strong cleaning power."
Ning Chuchu: "Ordinary facial cleanser has the same effect."
Anchor: "This product is also well-known for its strong moisturizing ability."
Ning Chuchu: "Where did you become famous? In the underworld?"
Host: "This mask contains an excessive amount of activated carbon, which can thoroughly clean your pores!"
Ning Chuchu: "Except for the excessive lead content, everything else is normal."
Anchor: “……!!!”
As soon as Ning Chuchu finished speaking, she was shocked.
Wow, is this another unexpected gain?
The most taboo thing in skin care products is excessive lead content. Long-term use of skin care products with excessive lead content can easily lead to heavy metal poisoning. The State Food and Drug Administration has clear regulations on the lead content in skin care products, which cannot exceed 10mg/kg. If the lead content of this mask exceeds the standard...
Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows and said bluntly, "The lead content of this mask is as high as 12mg/kg, which exceeds the national standard by 20%. Long-term use is very likely to cause heavy metal poisoning. So..."
Ning Chuchu, the so-called salesperson, smiled and defined this product: "Don't buy it."
The host looked at Ning Chuchu in amazement, not knowing what to do for a moment.
He has been a host for many years and has promoted many products. To be honest, he has made a lot of money on a daily basis.
As a professional anchor, how could he not know the quality of a brand like this? But in order to make money, he just brags about it with his eyes closed, and sells as many as he can.
He had never seen Ning Chuchu destroy her own reputation like this before!
Since she has already accepted the job of bringing goods, why does she still say such things? Isn't this just asking for trouble?
After Ning Chuchu said this, there was an uproar in the live broadcast room. Everyone was discussing whether Ning Chuchu's words were true or false, and also discussing the reasons why she did so.
Naturally, the live broadcast could not continue and ended abruptly.
Ning Chuchu left the live broadcast room with a relaxed look on her face, as if she had no idea how big a mess she had made.
Sister Zhang timidly pulled her aside and said angrily, "I know you are unhappy with the company's decision, but... you can't be so obvious! We should think long-term! What if the brand sues you for spreading rumors?"
Ning Chuchu said calmly, "The brand owner hasn't even cleaned up their own mess yet, how can they have the time to sue me? The Food and Drug Administration will probably come after them soon."
"This..." Sister Zhang was half-believing and half-doubting, "What you just said, that the lead content of this brand of facial mask exceeds the standard, is it true?"
"Of course."
Sister Zhang's face changed, and she finally let out a sigh, "In that case, you really shouldn't promote this product. Otherwise, when others have problems using the mask, you'll be in big trouble!"
Ning Chuchu shrugged without comment.
On the other hand, Yun Yirou was also shocked by the direction of this matter.
"The lead content is too high?" She was a little confused. She thought that the mask without any quality assurance was at most a worthless product, so she used it to plot against Ning Chuchu without any worries.
However, if the lead content of this product exceeds the standard... this is a very serious problem!
The plan she had thought of before might not work!
"I guessed that things wouldn't go so smoothly." Yu Zhui said coldly, "There must be something wrong. The heroine's personality has changed so much, what is the reason..."
Yun Yirou was struggling with whether she should, as she had thought before, hire some online trolls to attack Ning Chuchu for her unprofessionalism and her character issues such as taking money but stabbing the brand in the back.
However, if the mask really had quality issues, then Ning Chuchu would have the absolute moral high ground and all of her attacks would be invalid.
"What if Ning Chuchu was just talking nonsense? Maybe the mask is normal and there is no problem of excessive lead content..." Yun Yirou kept muttering, trying to convince herself.
No matter what the result is, she will never be satisfied unless she gives it a try.
Just as she was eager to act according to the plan, she suddenly received a call.
The caller was her mother, Yun Shu.
It was the woman who destroyed Ning Chuchu's happy family and caused her childhood nightmare.
"Hello, Mom?" Yun Yirou immediately picked up the phone and called out affectionately.
Yun Yirou's originally uneasy heart also calmed down instantly. In her mind, although her mother looked frail and thin, she was extremely smart, and there was nothing in the world that she wanted to do but couldn't do.
Back then, it was her mother who, through careful planning, turned her from a little girl from an ordinary family into the eldest daughter of the wealthy Ning family. From then on, they lived the wealthy life they had always dreamed of.
Mom is so smart, she should be able to deal with Ning Chuchu, right?
Yun Yirou thought about this and wanted to tell her mother about the mask to seek her advice. However, before she could open her mouth, she was shocked by her mother's unusual attitude.
Her mother, who had always been delicate and gentle, now sounded unusually serious, with a hint of gnashing teeth.
Yun Shu asked word by word, "Yiro, I heard that you were the one who managed to get Ning Chuchu to take over the promotion of that facial mask, is that right?"
Hearing her mother's stern voice, Yun Yirou's heart skipped a beat and she said weakly, "Yes, yes... What's wrong? Mom."
On the other end of the phone, Yun Shu's breathing suddenly became much heavier.
After a long while, the "good stepmother" who was used to pretending to be nice could no longer hold back her gentle face, and she almost collapsed and scolded: "What's wrong? You dare to ask me what's wrong?! I invested in that facial mask privately, and the purpose was to transfer the Ning family's wealth!"
"You're so good, you personally delivered this brand to Ning Chuchu, and you let her make such a big mess! If there is a problem with this mask, my company being closed down is no big deal."
"Most importantly, if Ning Guangzhong and Ning Chuchu find out about this and discover that I've been secretly transferring the Ning family's assets...what will happen to us?"
Yun Shu first roared as if to vent his anger, and then scolded Yun Yirou so much that tears were about to flow down.
Soon, she regained her composure and ordered in a deep voice: "Contact that Brother Li right now and let him find a way to betray you. Tell Ning Chuchu that it was you who ordered her to endorse the Sanwu mask!"
Yun Yirou was stunned for a moment and asked blankly: "Why?"
Yun Shu angrily scolded her, "Of course it's to divert her attention! As long as she focuses on the fact that you framed her, she won't pay attention to the things behind the mask company."
"Take the least harm and take the greatest benefit. My transfer of Ning's assets must not be exposed, so I can only sacrifice you temporarily. Rourou, don't worry, you and Chuchu are sisters after all, she won't do anything to you, and everything will be fine after this matter is over."
Yun Yirou was stunned for a long time before she slowly realized what her mother meant.
Yun Shu wanted to sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot, and let her attract Ning Chuchu's "firepower" to hide the fact that he had transferred the assets.
Although Yun Yirou is not smart, she knows the pros and cons and understands that what her mother does is the most important.
So she nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mom, I'll let Brother Li do it."
"Oh, forget it. With such a big incident, I guess the brokerage company will find out about Brother Li's betrayal right away." Yun Shu's voice was cold. "A man like him will definitely not cover up for you. He will definitely betray you."
"Don't do anything anymore. Just wait and see." What Yun Shu didn't say was that she thought her daughter was too stupid and was afraid that she would do something bad, so she simply told her not to do anything.
Finally, Yun Shu said bitterly, "You idiot...you almost killed us!!!"
Yun Shu's voice was mournful, and every time she spoke a word, Yun Yirou's body trembled.
In the end, Yun Yirou could hardly hold the phone in her hand and fell to the ground paralyzed.
Her mind went blank and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
What should I do? What should I do?
She seems to be in trouble...
