Chapter 274: The Two Different People
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After coming out of the school, Murong Qiao and An Nuo got into the car and arrived at the house.
“Wow—” As soon as she entered, An Nuo could not suppress her exclamation.
She widened her eyes and looked at her new residence, her eyes filled with amazement.
From the entrance she could see that the living room extended horizontally and was exceptionally wide. It was roughly divided into three parts: left, middle, and right.
They were the home bar, the resting area, and the semi-open kitchen respectively. Further out was the balcony with an excellent view.
Although Murong Qiao had seen the house on the tablet, she was actually more satisfied after seeing it in real life. Although it was her temporary residence, it mustn’t be too bad.
“Unpack your things first,” she reminded An Nuo.
An Nuo and Murong Qiao then quickly arranged everything.
Since they had decided on which bedrooms to take, the two of them did not delay any longer. They began to settle in and did not look at their cell phones for some time.
At this moment, there was a commotion on the Internet. It was all about the female lead of Wulin Universe, An Nuo.
It was a post by a self-proclaimed fan of the Moon G.o.ddess.
[Don’t you think it’s very strange? How did An Nuo, the female lead in Wulin Universe, get involved with Director Yu Xiao?]
At the beginning of the post, it attracted the attention of An Nuo and even mentioned a few points that could easily make people misunderstand.
[You’ve just debuted at such a young age and you’ve already obtained such good resources. Moreover, Director Yu Xiao is willing to film the drama. The publicity budget is also so big…]
There were some words that did not need to be explained in detail to allow the person reading to use their imagination to fill in the blanks.
The completion of the filming for Wulin Universe had been posted on the official account a few days ago. Along with it, there was overwhelming publicity. Everyone was waiting for the official release date.
Indeed, someone like Director Yu Xiao, who had strict standards for her work, would not choose a new actor as the protagonist of her drama no matter how one thought about it.
“I’ve long felt that something was wrong. Everyone knows Director Yu Xiao’s level. This female lead actress doesn’t have any works or acting skills. How did she become the female lead?”
“You can say anything, but you can’t talk nonsense, right? Wasn’t An Nuo’s performance in the Ace Tribe proof of her acting skills?”
“Forget it. It’s just a segment of a variety show. How can it represent her skill level? Besides, there are some segments of a variety show that have scripts in advance. Who knows how long they’ve been practicing?”
“If you ask me, it’s obvious that she’s bringing funds into the production team. Otherwise, why would Director Yu Xiao tolerate new actors? It must be because she was given too much money.”
The comments increased very quickly. The person who posted held her cell phone and did nothing. She just stared at the screen that kept appearing on the screen without blinking.
“Hmph.” She let out a cold snort, her voice filled with joy.
Seeing the comments slandering An Nuo continuously appearing below, An Jia felt a sense of comfort in her heart.
Wasn’t An Nuo’s luck due to her wealth? If she didn’t have any acting skills, she would still be scolded badly.
She had suffered a setback with An Nuo in the afternoon, but An Jia did not want to take it lying down. After she left, she wanted to defame An Nuo.
Hence, she pretended to be a book fan of the Moon G.o.ddess and casually asked for an unknown account from a friend she knew in the company. She then posted a post that resonated with many people and led everyone’s attention to An Nuo.
An Jia’s fingertips kept sliding across the screen. “That’s more like it.”
Seeing that someone was scolding An Nuo, a satisfied smile appeared on An Jia’s face, and the imbalance in her heart eased a little.
Who asked An Nuo to take on the female lead as soon as she debuted? She could even work with Director Yu Xiao, while she could only work like a slave for the company. She even had to take on some side jobs.
She did not think that there was any difference between the two of them. She was determined to attribute the deviation to the fact that An Nuo’s family was rich. After all, in An Jia’s opinion, money was omnipotent. With money, everything could be settled.
“Ding-Dong.” The cell phone emitted a notification.
An Jia opened it and took a look. It was her salary for this month.
She immediately perked up and looked at the balance in her bank card. However, the smug smile on her face froze at the corner of her mouth.
Why was it only eighteen thousand?
An Jia frowned and confirmed it twice to make sure that she was not mistaken.
If she remembered correctly, based on her workload this month, it should be 23,000. The missing 5,000 …
She was puzzled. After a moment of hesitation, she called her manager, Brother Li.
“Brother Li, why is my salary… 5,000 less?” An Jia forced a smile.
Brother Li’s impatient voice came from the phone. “Do you think work is given to you for no reason? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
“Li—” An Jia was about to stop him when she heard a beeping sound coming from the phone.
The call record was only 20 seconds long. From Brother Li’s tone, it was not difficult to tell where the 5,000 yuan had gone. It was most likely taken away by him.
However, An Jia had no other choice but to accept this fact. At least he had given her 18,000 yuan.
However, this made her feel that fate was unfair. Staring at the post that appeared on the screen after the call ended, An Jia could not help but start typing angrily.
[The female lead was chosen to be this person. I feel aggrieved for Moon G.o.ddess. Moreover, with that face…]
An Jia was so angry that she criticized An Nuo in the post. She criticized her from head to toe, and the sharpness of her words made many people feel angry again.
“To be honest, I think An Nuo is still alright. At least it’s not as serious as the post says…”
“I also think she’s alright. Why can’t she be the lead? Moreover, Moon G.o.ddess has always been serious about her work. How can she let the casting destroy her novel? The fact that she can become the female lead at least proves that Moon G.o.ddess approves of her.”
“I believe in Moon G.o.ddess and Director Yu Xiao’s judgment. An Nuo is not a vase.”
There were also many people who tried to defend An Nuo and clarify her image, but when they saw such comments, An Jia deleted them completely, leaving behind only those comments that said that An Nuo was bad.
Under her deliberate control, many people started to dislike An Nuo.
In the end, there were only a few people who were firm in their stance and opinions. By doing so, she led most people’s wavering opinions to follow the wind.
An Jia’s post was quite popular. In addition, there had been people paying attention to when Wulin Universe would be released, so they naturally saw this post.
Coupled with the real-time increase in comments, the popularity only increased.
People always liked to join in the fun. No matter if it was good or bad, they would get involved. Hence, many fans, anti-fans, and keyboard warriors quarreled under the post.
Just as everyone was scolding each other, a comment suddenly appeared especially eye-catching.
—Stop arguing, Wulin Universe is online!!!
As soon as this comment was posted, everyone tacitly stopped what they were doing and logged into various platforms to search for information. They realized that what was said was true.
Wulin Universe was really out. There was no news or marketing done for it, and it launched just like that. Moreover, six episodes were released!
This action caught everyone off guard..
