Chapter 18 Congratulations, your trending topic has...



Yan Shule was previously blackened by the entire Internet. Although she is no longer popular now, her old posts are still there, and it wasn’t long before those posts were dug up again.

"I was wondering why this person looked so familiar, it turned out to be her."

"So this is a play?"

"He's probably trying to hype himself up for a comeback. No wonder the plot has so many twists and turns. There are so many coincidences."

"Can you guys please get out of the entertainment industry? It's you who are ruining the entertainment industry's reputation."

"I was just saying how cool that girl is, but now I just want to vomit..."

Yan Shule strolled around the antique market for a while and finally picked out a small object that glowed red. She was excitedly walking to the jade shop next door to look at the raw stones when she received a call from Xue Yang.

"My dear, where are you?"

"I'm in the antique market." Yan Shule spoke on the phone while fixing his eyes on a piece of raw stone next to him that looked quite pleasing to the eye. After a minute, he saw a faint green light on the raw stone. Yan Shule said "tsk", it seemed that there was nothing inside.

"Have you seen the trending searches online?"

"No." Yan Shule had no awareness of being the talk of the town. "Why should I look at that?"

"My dear, you can be criticized for just walking on the street, and you are directly at the end of the trending search. What kind of constitution do you have?" Xue Yang sighed, "You should go and have a look first. We don't have a company now, so we need to find a public relations person. I guess you are not willing to spend the money. How about you log in to your account and respond?"

While Xue Yang was talking, Yan Shule looked at another rough stone, curled his lips in regret, and shifted his gaze, "Got it, I'll take a look in a while."

After finishing the phone call, Yan Shule completely put the matter behind her and started looking at other rough stones with great interest, but she didn't know that someone was secretly taking pictures of her behind her back.

The person who took the video of her was called Lin Xiaoxiao. She liked to hang out in various gossip forums. It took less than half an hour from the time Yan Shule's video came out to when her identity was revealed. She could tell at a glance that the place where it happened was the Haishi Antique Market where she was visiting, so she pulled her companions to go to the antique stall to take a look. Unexpectedly, she met Yan Shule who was looking at raw stones halfway.

"Why are you taking pictures of others secretly?" The companion didn't pay much attention to gossip in the entertainment industry, and asked in confusion when he saw Yan Shule's actions.

"This is a hot spot." Lin Xiaoxiao said slyly while holding up her cell phone.

"Boring." The companion rolled his eyes in disdain, and then secretly glanced at Yan Shule, "But this person is really beautiful, no wonder she can be a star. When she walks in the crowd, she feels different from ordinary people."

"She is very pretty." Lin Xiaoxiao pouted while holding up her phone, "but her character is not very good."

At this point, an idea suddenly occurred to her and she raised her phone to take pictures around.

"What are you doing again?" The companion was confused.

"Let me see if there's any crew filming around here or something." Lin Xiaoxiao noticed Yan Shule making a move out of the corner of her eye, and quickly pointed the camera at her, still looking around, trying to see where the Yan Shule crew mentioned on the Internet was.

At this time, Yan Shule had already picked out the raw stone he wanted and was ready to give it a try.

This piece of raw stone is the first one she has seen that can emit red light in such a long time. Although the light is not deep, it is necessary to verify whether there is something inside and how much it is worth.

The stone-cutting master skillfully placed the stone on the machine without any fluctuation in his expression. The raw stones placed in these jade shops in the antique market are originally for tourists' entertainment. A piece of stone is only worth a few hundred yuan, and they sell it for fun.

Although some tourists are excited and hopeful, thinking that they might be able to make a profit, but after working in the store for so long, he knows very well that these stones are all defective products that have been picked out layer by layer, so what can be obtained?

Although even gods cannot tell the quality of jade, experienced and knowledgeable masters would have already picked out all the good quality stones.

However, as the cutting sound gradually subsided, the stone was cut, and the stone-cutting master and the people watching around widened their eyes.

"Bet...bets have gone up?"

"Hey, I saw green! It's not easy!"

The owner of the shop next door heard the noise and came over. "Hey, is this the first time your shop has green this year?"

The master sprinkled water on the cross section and looked at it carefully. "Not bad, it's a glutinous rice variety." He looked at Yan Shule and said, "Do you want to continue to solve it?"

Yan Shule nodded, "Solve."

Seeing the green, the master became motivated and immediately started the machine to cut the remaining parts.

The final jade is about the size of a fist and can only be made into small objects or pendants.

The boss looked at it over and over again, and asked Yan Shule, "Are you going to make jewelry yourself or sell it directly? This piece of jade is in good condition. If you are willing to sell it, I can buy it." The boss stretched out a hand and spread out his palm, "Fifty thousand, what do you think?"

Yan Shule bought this rough stone for 300 yuan, and he made a lot of money by selling it for 50,000 yuan.

But she looked at the pale green light of the jadeite and looked at the boss with certainty, "Eighty thousand."

As she finished speaking, the light of the jadeite turned into a faint red, and the jade shop owner's expression became serious, "Sixty thousand!"

Yan Shule looked at the light of the jade and saw it turned into an almost invisible light blue. After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "Okay."

Always let others make some profit.

Although he spent 60,000 to buy something that originally cost 300 in his shop, the boss did not feel unhappy. This piece of jade was made in his shop, which was also a good sign.

Yan Shule took the money earned by the boss and did not continue to look at other stones. She found a box today and bet on a stone at a high price, which was already a big gain. Not to mention that she also had a small item she just found in her bag. The light on it was dazzling and it was probably worth a lot of money.

Looking at the sun that was already setting, Yan Shule touched his stomach and decided it was time to find something to eat.

After Yan Shule left, the two people who were taking secret photos from behind also came to their senses.

"No way, is it really that amazing?" Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned. "Is it really not hype? I don't believe it."

His companion looked at Yan Shule's back with envy, "Isn't this too lucky? Buying a stone for 300 yuan and selling it for 60,000 yuan. Why can't I encounter such a good thing?"

"More than that! She just bought a box for 10,000 yuan, and there was a recipe inside. She sold it to the owner of Juxianlou for 300,000 yuan. No matter how I look at it, it seems too coincidental. It must be fake, it must be hype!" Lin Xiaoxiao swore confidently, but she felt so sour in her heart.

After Lin Xiaoxiao finished filming the video, she was still hesitating whether to post it online. However, she was not the only one filming the video. When she was explaining later, there were other people filming the video. That person posted the video to a group of stone gambling enthusiasts, and people in the group also forwarded it everywhere to share the good luck. As a result, Yan Shule’s previous video had not yet become popular, and this video added more material.

"Is Yan Shule crazy? Is he planning to establish a character that brings him wealth?"

"Haha, if you have such good eyesight and can make so much money, why do you need to be kept by someone?"

"To be honest, even though I knew it was fake, I shamelessly fell in love with it."

"The one upstairs, I understand your thoughts. Who doesn't want to be surrounded by the halo of the God of Wealth?"

"Yan Shule, don't come to the entertainment industry and write a good story. I really like this plot."

"I want the contact information of screenwriter Yan Shule. I want to discuss life with her."

"Haha, people like this should be banned, okay? If money is so easy to make, why should ordinary people work so hard?"

“I agree. This kind of value is really bad.”

Yan Shule finally found a small shop and ordered a bowl of beef noodles. Just as he sat down, he received a call from Xue Yang.

Xue Yang seemed to have just reacted at this time, his voice cracked with shock, almost making Yan Shule deaf, "Did you really find a bargain on an antique and sell it for 300,000 yuan, and the gambling stone has increased in value?"

Fortunately, it was past lunch time and there were not many people in the shop. Yan Shule touched his ears speechlessly and said, "Yeah."

"You just gave away the three hundred thousand just like that?" Xue Yang was stunned, but after thinking about it, this was also Yan Shule's style. Although she was stingy, she was very kind. When she was poor, she kept to herself. When she was rich, although she didn't help the whole world, she would help others within her ability. Otherwise, she would not have given him 1.8 million in dividends without blinking an eye.

"Well, it's not really a gift. The girl wrote me an IOU." Yan Shule saw the owner of the noodle shop glance at him out of the corner of his eye.

Xue Yang took a deep breath, "Okay, I'm calling you right now to tell you, congratulations, your hot search topic has entered the top 30, and they are all scolding you. You've been in the spotlight twice in one day, are you happy?"

"Tsk." Yan Shule sneered nonchalantly.

"Alright, even though you're not in the entertainment industry anymore, it's best not to cause yourself any trouble. Some haters are really crazy, you'd better go on Weibo and explain yourself." Xue Yang said worriedly, "You haven't checked your Weibo since you terminated your contract. I think you should take this opportunity to announce your retirement. This will also help to avoid some unnecessary trouble."

Yan Shule nodded without any reluctance, "Okay."

Instead, Xue Yang felt a little regretful, "Just think it over." When he signed Yan Shule, he thought she would be popular, but he didn't expect that she would retire in less than two years.

To be honest, Yan Shule's appearance is good in all aspects. Although her acting skills are not genius, they are pretty decent and she has been improving. She was already a little popular before. What a pity...

Xue Yang actually still felt a little regretful.

Yan Shule didn't understand Xue Yang's idea at all. After hanging up the phone, he opened Weibo on his mobile phone and logged into his previous account.
