Chapter 764: No Buts
“Isn’t this better than the one you gave it?” s.h.i.+ Jin agreed with Madam Yue.
“Alright, then I won’t reject her if my mother wants to bring you delicious food next time,” Yue Lanchen threatened.
s.h.i.+ Jin nodded. “Degas Asura, do you want some bones? I’ll get some for you.”
***
The internet celebrity who had undergone plastic surgery to become s.h.i.+ Jin had received money to ruin s.h.i.+ Jin’s popularity.
However, her method of corruption was too simple and crude, so the effect was not good.
If not for someone protecting her from behind, she would have been caught long ago.
“Take this money and leave the capital. You’re not allowed to broadcast live in the future. All of this has nothing to do with you anymore,” she received a call and the person inside warned.
“But…”
“No buts.”
The internet celebrity was unwilling.
She had been an internet celebrity for so long. Even if she had deliberately made herself look like s.h.i.+ Jin, she was not very popular. Only a few loyal live-streamers had been watching over her. She was far from the effect of making people wors.h.i.+p her.
And this time, appearing to defame s.h.i.+ Jin was the closest she had been to becoming famous. It was also the most attention she had gotten.
Although they had given her a sum of money, how could she be satisfied? She felt that she should have been born on the big stage, surrounded by millions of people and surrounded by the mortal world. Otherwise, she would not have made her face like this for this goal back then.
Didn’t she need money to protect her face now? Didn’t she need money for injections in the future?
Those people wanted her to appear when they wanted her to, then leave when they wanted her to. How could it be so easy?
Since she wanted to scam someone, she had to touch the biggest one.
“Miss, forgive me for being blunt, but your bones have been touched too much. You need surgery in the future to ensure that the bones here don’t break. Also, the prosthesis in your nose is also aging. It needs to be replaced,” the doctor said to her face. “I suggest you be hospitalized as soon as possible. Otherwise…”
“How much does the surgery cost?”
“In your situation, you should at least prepare a few hundred thousand.”
“After repairing it, can I continue to maintain my current appearance?”
“Hard to say.” The doctor shook his head. “But we’ll guarantee to take responsibility for every patient and try our best to do so.”
A few hundred thousand. She had only taken a few hundred thousand from defaming s.h.i.+ Jin this time and had already used up most of it.
Where could she get a few hundred thousand yuan now?
“Lisa, aren’t you going to livestream? I was going to send you some gifts.” A man’s profile picture appeared on WeChat. He was talking to the internet celebrity.
Lisa was the stage name of the internet celebrity. She had used it for a long time.
...
This man had always been her loyal fan—no, to be precise, he should be s.h.i.+ Jin’s loyal fan. However, he had always wanted to see s.h.i.+ Jin but had been unable to obtain her. He had also submitted many of his own songs to s.h.i.+ Jin’s company, hoping that s.h.i.+ Jin could sing them. However, the mud had sunk into the sea.
When love reached the extreme, it became dark. He realized that being a fan of Lisa who had a similar face received much more feedback and response. If he sent her a red packet, she would video call him and talk to him. She would always respond, so he turned to Lisa.
Towards the cold and aloof s.h.i.+ Jin, he gradually turned into a hater, so much so that he went crazy.
When s.h.i.+ Jin and Lisa’s matter came out this time, he firmly believed that s.h.i.+ Jin had directed it and acted to deliberately step on Lisa for the sake of fame.
“I’m not broadcasting anymore. There have been a lot of things going on recently. My live-stream has also been blocked, and I’m not feeling too well. It takes a lot of money to treat illnesses,” Lisa replied with a voice message, her tone coquettish.
The hater whose heart ached for her quickly sent her a big red packet.
After Lisa received it, she believed even more that she could not leave the capital. She had to step on s.h.i.+ Jin’s popularity and walk up step by step to have a future.
***
s.h.i.+ Jin had a fas.h.i.+on magazine shoot recently. The editor had mentioned using a Samoyed in the proposal.
After asking what was needed, s.h.i.+ Jin called Yue Lanchen. “Can I borrow Little Yueyue to appear on camera?”
“Of course, but can I come with you?”
“It’s up to you. Anyway, there are many extras in this shoot.”
“Why do we need so many extras to shoot for a fas.h.i.+on magazine?”
“The editor probably wants to create a feeling that the protagonist in the mortal world is the only one who can take the lead. The extras have to use real people to create the atmosphere. If you don’t mind, you can even be an extra.”
“Alright, then I’ll bring Little Yueyue over!”
The photoshoot for the fas.h.i.+on magazine this time had been booked before the movie started broadcasting. The original proposal by the editor was a little conservative, but with the popularity of “Phoenix Tree”, s.h.i.+ Jin’s popularity and fame kept rising, so the editor came up with this new proposal.
s.h.i.+ Jin did not reject the concept. She was already climbing to the peak and leading the trend. Such a concept was not an exaggeration.
On the day of the shoot, Yue Lanchen specially applied for leave and carried Little Yueyue together with him.
Little Yueyue had an exquisite red leash around his neck, making his beautiful white fur look energetic and cute.
“Yo, whose dog is this? It’s so cute!”
The moment Little Yueyue entered the filming scene, he became the center of attention.
Everyone could not help but pat it and reach out to rub its head.
It closed its eyes in enjoyment. No matter what everyone did, it did not make a fuss.
“Handsome, what’s its name?”
“Little Yueyue.”
“What a cute name! So this is the dog that will be filming with s.h.i.+ Jin today?”
“Yes.” Yue Lanchen nodded.
“These are the little snacks and dog food we prepared for it. Let’s see if it likes it.”
“It’s not picky. It eats everything.”
“Then let’s carry it to get used to the camera.” The staff liked Little Yueyue and brought it directly to the filming room.
s.h.i.+ Jin had already changed and was touching up her makeup.
Seeing Little Yueyue walk over, she knew that Yue Lanchen was here. She waved her hand and said, “Yue Lanchen, if you want to rest, go to my dressing room to rest. If you don’t want to rest, walk around by yourself.”
“I’ll stay here and accompany Little Yueyue.”
“Up to you. Help yourself.”
The extras outside were also queuing up to enter in an orderly manner.
One of the extras was Lisa. When she saw that there was news of recruitment, she came to sign up.
The requirements for an extra were not particularly high to begin with. Furthermore, her height, figure, and appearance were quite similar to s.h.i.+ Jin, so she was immediately chosen.
“Everyone, pay attention. When we shoot later, you will change into special clothes and makeup. During the filming, you have to listen to orders and not act on your own, understand?”
“Understood.”
“Alright, everyone, wait here to change and put on makeup.”
