Chapter 20
Ning Wensong stared at the white sugar that had already been applied to her legs and face, nodded in satisfaction, and continued to adjust the color on the sides of her body.
The two galaxies each had an exceptionally dreamlike color, so Ning Wensong decided to add a touch of blue to them.
With its blue, purple, and pink hues, she could already imagine how beautiful the finished sugar would look.
"Ah Song, hurry up!" Chen Che stared at the screen, his bad premonition coming true. Finishing it first was the first countermeasure.
Ning Wensong couldn't spare the attention to care about anything else, but she unconditionally believed what Shen Che said.
She pondered how to finish the rest quickly. She couldn't be careless with her body, but she could be a little more unrestrained with her tail, since the original star system was a very unrestrained ribbon.
After adjusting the colors, she compared them to the planets on both sides of her body and began to color them. With her mind highly focused, Ning Wensong noticed that her wrists were becoming a little stiff. She turned around and glanced at Chen Che.
His expression was more solemn than I had ever seen.
Ning Wensong was momentarily dazed. He couldn't let him be like this. Even if something happened to the other side, he would definitely do a better job.
She continued working with this idea in mind, and time passed quickly. Ning Wensong was already covered in sweat.
Finally, she rubbed her wrist and made the final touches on the tail. Fortunately, the drawing turned out well.
Shen Che had been watching her closely. The moment he finished, he ignored the camera, walked over to Ning Wensong, helped her up, and sat her down on the sofa.
He first poured Ning Wensong a glass of water, then took his phone closer and pointed it at Bai Tang, who was already asleep.
"Why are you making me do it fast? My hands are already at their limit." Ning Wensong was still a little confused, feeling like her hands didn't belong to her at all.
Chen Che took out his tablet, opened the live stream, pointed at He Ran on the other side, and was about to speak when he realized that the sound of the live stream was not turned off. He immediately got up to turn it off before saying, "The styling He Ran did is only slightly different from yours. Now it looks more like your original styling than the two star systems we have now."
Ning Wensong was a little confused. She thought she was doing this because of a dream, but why was He Ran doing it? It couldn't be that the other party could have foreseen it, could it?
"So... should we say the other person plagiarized or that I plagiarized? Even if the types are the same, how good is their technique?"
"Look, it seems to me that you have won an overwhelming victory, but I suspect he hired a lot of online trolls, and now the comments are being manipulated." Shen Che pointed at the screen, his tone full of coldness.
"Hmm... what do we do now? Should I go explain my creative inspiration now? This is the first time I've encountered something like this... Shen Che, what should we do?" Ning Wensong was muddle-headed in her past life and didn't cause any trouble, but in this life, so many people are always looking for trouble. She just glanced at a few comments and doesn't know how others feel, but for her, this situation is enough to make her panic.
Shen Che noticed that something was wrong with her, gently hugged her, and comforted her, "Don't think too much about it. Justice will prevail over everything. I didn't tell you that there are hidden cameras throughout the hospital, but they are not used and no one checks them."
These were all installed on Gu Ci's suggestion, and I never expected them to actually come in handy.
“Well, He Ran is still working on it, and I think his color mixing is wrong, so the final design won’t be okay either. So what if there are paid trolls? Won’t we buy their stuff? We’ll see the results.” Shen Che’s unwavering words calmed Ning Wensong down.
He's good at it!
Ning Wensong's mood improved, and knowing there was a solution, she was no longer afraid. "Then you go and install surveillance cameras, and I'll hire an online army! I'll borrow the money to hire the online army."
Shen Che looked at her helplessly, "What's the point of distinguishing between you and me now? Don't think like that. I'm going to play the video."
He thought for a moment, then added, worried she might overthink it, "He Ran will be working for at least two or three more hours, and there are still those experts. We'll definitely win."
Ning Wensong was touched by his thoughtfulness. She was indeed a rather sensitive person, and this incident left her somewhat helpless and angry. She still wanted to calm down and focus on her styling.
Watching Chen Che go upstairs, Ning Wensong took a deep breath to calm herself down.
She picked up her phone, remembered the online troll tutorials Shen Che had found for her, and immediately spent a fortune to buy 100,000 online trolls.
The righteous path is one foot high, but the evil path is ten feet high.
The majority of people in the live stream are actually rational; it's just that the paid trolls keep spamming the chat.
"I'm begging them, please stop swiping, my eyes are getting blurry."
"Add one, add one, add one, it's so hard to find people actually watching the live stream amidst all the spam..."
"Ugh, please, these online trolls, stop being so ridiculous. Can't you just tell who bought it at a glance?"
"Let's not talk about that, sisters. Just looking at the work, Ning Wensong's work is definitely more complete. She cuts quickly and doesn't drag her feet at all. It's like she has everything engraved in her mind."
"On the other hand, He Ran is actually a relatively new person. He only became popular because of his cat costume, but he hasn't come up with anything new since."
"Let me add something: He Ran's skills are obvious to everyone. If you can't even trim the stray hairs properly, you shouldn't be in this business."
"What are you saying? Ranran hasn't even finished yet and you're already criticizing her. Is this how netizens behave?"
"...Who's barking like a dog? Drag them out and behead them."
Ning Wensong finished reading it quickly, and her mood had completely recovered. She blamed herself for not reading it carefully earlier and for being swayed by the online trolls' emotions.
Since I have nothing to do for the time being, I might as well lie on the sofa and watch the comments section until I calm down.
Instead of waiting for Shen Che, they received a call from Gu Nian.
"Hey..." She was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"Little Songsong!!"
Ning Wensong felt ashamed; it seemed she had seen the live stream.
"Don't get agitated!"
Gu Nian shouted on the other end of the phone, "I'm not excited!! I saw the live stream, the other side is disgusting, I bought you 1 million online trolls, we're not afraid of them!! I'll come back to be with you in a couple of days when I have my vacation!"
She took a sip of water and continued, "Okay, that's it. We all believe in you—no, you'll always be the real deal! I have to go to the interview now. See you next week!"
Gu Nian hung up immediately after speaking, leaving Ning Wensong stunned on the spot by the thought of one million.
She just bought 100,000 worth of goods, and Gu Nian bought another 1 million.
Ning Wensong was a little confused. Would the live stream chat be full of her paid trolls later?
Nobody told her that Gu Nian was so rich!
She was still in a daze when Chen Che walked up to her and waved, startling her awake. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Che's worried gaze warmed Ning Wensong's heart. She pulled Shen Che to sit down and sat close to him, saying, "Gu Nian just called me and said he bought a million online trolls for me, so my brain isn't working too well."
"Hey, don't worry about her. She should have a lot of pocket money. Just buy her a small gift later. The online trolls should start making moves..." Shen Che looked at the tablet. The comments on the screen were gradually becoming more and more in favor of them.
"It seems that this time, Gu Nian hired a targeted online army to control the comments. No need to worry, I'll go and play the surveillance footage of you talking about innovation now." Shen Che thought to himself, thankfully she was in human form at that time.
Ning Wensong nodded, watching Chen Che's busy figure.
Does this feel like the kind of love I believe in?
It makes me feel so safe.
After a while, she realized that she believed in love growing over time, so why not wait another month before confessing her feelings?
Okay, I'll wait another week.
This incident made Ning Wensong realize that Shen Che was someone she could rely on, someone like herself.
Her eyes darted around, and she decided to give it a try.
"Chen Che, can we get the remaining two looks done ahead of time? Let's hurry up and go to your hometown so we can have some alone time together." She smiled and lay on the sofa, staring into Chen Che's eyes.
Chen Che glanced at her, his tone ambiguous, "Okay, then let's transform into human form and sleep in one bed along the way, that's more like a 'world for two'."
“!” Ning Wensong blushed. She turned over and realized that something was wrong. Shen Che had actually retaliated.
I'd better not flirt with him anymore; it only made things worse for me.
The surveillance footage has already been shown in the live stream, and with the help of online trolls controlling the comments, the tide in the live stream has completely turned.

He Ran Studio.
"Boss, the online sentiment has completely changed. Now everyone is mocking you..." The assistant looked at his phone with trepidation, then glanced at the boss who was still constantly revising his look.
He Ran was completely confused when she heard this. "Even if my skills aren't very good, you don't have to scold me, do you?"
This look is incredibly difficult to achieve; Chang Qianfei says it's the most likely look to become popular in the next few years.
The assistant paused for a moment, then said incredulously, "Boss, don't you know this hairstyle is the same as Ning Wensong's?"
"Furthermore, the other side has now provided surveillance video to prove how they came up with the design."
"Huh?? No, you didn't see I've been working on this hairstyle the whole time, I didn't have time to watch the live stream. I'll come back after I'm done." He Ran cursed Chang Qian, that lunatic, in his mind. The meaning of that sentence was actually plagiarism.
He knew this wasn't something he could have come up with himself, but since it was already done, it was obvious that it was his fault.
He Ran was having a heart attack; she thought she could use this look to qualify for the competition.
Now he can't even stay in the industry anymore.
His dad will scold him again when he gets home.
He was pondering how to resolve the matter, willing to do anything for the other party, but if it led to his family being accused of plagiarism, he would be finished.
After completing the last coloring step, He Ran gestured to the live streaming equipment, and his assistant immediately understood, adjusting the studio's network to temporarily disconnect the internet.
"Call Ning Wensong, I need to talk to them." He Ran lay down on the ground, exhausted, both physically and mentally.
What kind of nonsense is this?
He worked for Chang Qian to find a cat, but got arrested and taken to the police station. In return, he received a design draft, which turned out to be plagiarized.
Once this is over, Chang Qian must be made to pay the price.
The assistant handed the phone to He Ran, who answered it, looked at the person opposite him, stood up, and bowed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was plagiarized beforehand. When Chang Qian gave it to me, she only said it would be very popular. I didn't think about anything else. I'm also a creative person, and I know that plagiarism is absolutely unacceptable. I'm sorry again. I can tell you everything I know, and I can even give you money, as long as you help me get rid of this plagiarism label. Any other way is fine."
