There was a conference in the afternoon. Ice Lake Snow needed to be on stage.
Chu Hui leaned on the table, bored. He turned his head and saw Ming Shu sitting in the front row.
Using his looks, Chu Hui managed to change his seat and sat behind Ming Shu.
Just as he was reaching out his hand, the girl in front suddenly stood up and left.
The young man’s hand froze in midair. He took a while before he regained his senses and retracted his hand.
…
After the conference ended, the event came to an end.
Many authors were excited when Ice Lake Snow appeared. Ice Lake Snow was like an idol to them.
Ming Shu and Zhang Mu left due to various reasons and were walking out of the hotel.
Chu Han ran over hurriedly. “Did you see Chu Hui?”
Zhang Mu and Ming Shu shook their heads.
Chu Han nodded and then went to search outside the hotel.
“Chu Hui…” Zhang Mu was thinking about what to say, but he couldn’t find the right words even though he was an author. “It is a pity that he is not a celebrity.”
Ming Shu remembered the evil gaze of the young man and smiled silently.
“Let’s go.”
“Wei Lan, wait.” Zhang Mu dragged his luggage and caught up with her. “You didn’t listen to the conference. Why did you come here then?”
“To eat.”
“… Besides that?”
“Hmm…” Ming Shu paused for a moment. She replied, “Gain Hatred Points.”
“… Can you be more serious? Why have you changed so much?”
“I said that I was reborn. What can I do if you don’t believe me?”
Ming Shu smiled at Zhang Mu happily. The buildings around her blurred. The only thing left in Zhang Mu’s eyes was her smile.
Zhang Mu suddenly felt cold.
Reborn?
He shook his head. How can such a thing happen? This is not a novel.
…
The news that Ming Shu bullied Lin Yuxin spread like wildfire. It got more exaggerated too. With the help of Ming Shu, the news was known by everyone in the novel industry. Everyone knew that Wei Ran bullied people and didn’t repent her actions.
At this moment, Ming Shu was looking at a tortoise with a puzzled expression.
Why…
Why did the Host keep a tortoise? Did she raise it to eat it?
The tortoise raised its legs and slowly moved forward.
Ming Shu walked two rounds around the tortoise. She wondered if it was better to boil it or steam it.
The tortoise felt the killing intent from Ming Shu and moved even faster.
I must run away.
My master is crazy.
Ming Shu stared at it for a moment before walking back to her study. She continued daydreaming in her study.
Beep beep…
Ming Shu opened her chat.
The name “Lin Yuxin” perked up Ming Shu’s interest. Why did her snacks coupon contact her voluntarily?
Lin Yuxin: Senior, I’m sorry for what happened that time. I didn’t expect things to become like this. Sorry to cause you trouble.
Lin Yuxin typed out her apology.
W: It is not troublesome for me at all. I did want to bully you.
Lin Yuxin didn’t reply after that. She didn’t know what she should say.
She couldn’t say that it was her honor to get bullied by her senior, right?
After a few minutes, Lin Yuxin went offline.
Very soon, some readers sent a few screenshots to her.
Someone called “Armor 01” released a post that showcased the conversation between Ming Shu and Lin Yuxin.
The person shared the issue from Lin Yuxin’s friend’s point of view.
With the help of Ming Shu’s last sentence, the post gained fame immediately.
1st floor: History shows that the 2nd floor is always taken by a genius.
2nd floor: The third floor will be a genius too.
3rd floor: … I am just a spectator.
4th floor: I didn’t believe the rumor that she bullied someone. I didn’t expect her to be so evil.
5th floor: I love her books. I didn’t know that she is such a person. Lin Yuxin’s fans are a little… but Lin Yuxin is a good person. I talked to her a few times. She is a nice person to talk to.
6th floor: Lin Yuxin is so timid. It was not her fault but she still apologized.
7th floor. Wei Ran’s new book has the same theme as Lin Yuxin’s new book. The competition between the bosses is so complicated.
…
19th floor: Pardon my directness. You all are rubbish.
…
Ming Shu was extremely arrogant.
Beep beep beep…
Lin Yuxin found Ming Shu online again.
Lin Yuxin: I’m sorry, Senior. My friend is here so she saw our chat history. I didn’t notice that she sent out the screenshot. I will ask my friend to delete the post now.
Only Ming Shu and her could see the conversation between them. It was better for her to admit it first.
W: Don’t do that. Don’t delete the post.
Let me gain some Hatred Points!
I must thank my snacks coupon for giving me this chance!
Lin Yuxin was puzzled. What was happening? Why didn’t she let her delete her post?
Meteor Rain: Xinyu, look at the forum. Wei Ran’s character is destroyed. Let me see how she will move forward from now on. How dare she bully people just because she is a senior.
Lin Yuxin replied to Meteor Rain: I shouldn’t have posted the screenshot in the group chat, right? Will Senior misunderstand me and think that I am the one that posted it? Ask her to take it down…
Meteor Rain: Why should we take it down? Yuxin, is she threatening you?
Lin Yuxin: No, no. This is not good.
Meteor Rain: What is wrong with this? Didn’t you see how she treated you last time? She forced you to jump into the swimming pool and even blatantly announced that she was bullying you. I can’t stand it. She just entered the writing industry a few years earlier than us. So arrogant.
Lin Yuxin: But…
Meteor Rain: Yuxin, I know that you are soft-hearted. However, the post is not posted by you. What are you afraid of? People know who is right and who is wrong.
Lin Yuxin smiled. Her fingers flew over the keyboard.
She told Meteor Rain to ask the person who uploaded the screenshot to delete the post.
“Wei Ran…” Lin Yuxin looked at the novel website on her screen. She clicked on the screen. “You came to me yourself. Don’t blame me.”
Lin Yuxin went to the group chat to pretend to be the victim again.
A bunch of bad reviews appeared under Ming Shu’s novels.
Her readers came to personally message her.
Reader #1: Boss, are you all right? We believe that you are not that kind of person. These people are creating trouble out of nothing.
Reader #2: Boss, don’t be affected by them.
Reader #3: Boss, we will always support you.
Ming Shu consoled them and then found her editor to turn off the comments section.
White Lemon: How did this start?
The editor was confused too.
W: I don’t like her so I offended her. What else could I do? Wait?
White Lemon: …
White Lemon: The implications are not good. If it is not something huge, just forget about it.
W: Aren’t we selling the film copyrights for my novel recently? I am just doing free marketing.
White Lemon: …
I don’t dare to accept your marketing.
When Ming Shu closed her comments section, everyone thought she was guilty so they supported Lin Yuxin even more.
Some people even screenshot what Lin Yuxin did in the various group chats. She was sincere and asked everyone to forget about the issue.
She looked as though she was trying to help Ming Shu.
She tried her best to be the pitiful little girl that got bullied by a guru.
Zhang Mu: What grudges do you have with Lin Yuxin? I see that things are getting out of hand. Lin Yuxin even appeared in the Fu Shen group chat.
The Fu Shen group chat consisted of gurus from all the different novel websites.
Lin Yuxin got pulled into the chat somehow. Zhang Mu started to dislike her.
At the start, he didn’t like her because of Ming Shu. Now, he was disgusted by her way of doing things.
