After editing the Weibo post, Lu Siyu showed it to her manager for approval and quickly posted it. However, to their surprise, things didn’t go exactly as they had imagined.
There was a group of onlookers who weren’t buying her apology at all. They continued to berate her even more harshly and vowed to save all the incriminating evidence to become her anti-fans. Every time she showed up, they would expose her again.
Lu Siyu was extremely annoyed, but for the sake of her future, she had no choice but to keep silent and endure their criticism.
On the other side, when Lu Miao saw that Lu Siyu had voluntarily apologized, she raised an eyebrow. Having a professional team made all the difference.
They managed to minimize the damage and maximize the benefits.
However, even though the crisis seemed to have passed for now, every time Lu Siyu did endorsements or participated in any awards, those past incidents would likely be brought up again, and she would be criticized once more. After all, she had confessed to those indiscretions, and it was solid evidence.
In their class WeChat group, everyone was excited about Lu Siyu’s exposure and forced apology. They were celebrating and even sending red envelopes to each other, making the group chat lively.
Seeing them happy, Lu Miao smiled and sent a big red envelope to the group, instantly increasing the excitement.
“Thank you, Boss!” Shen Muhan was the first to reply, followed by a long stream of “Thank you, Boss” messages.
Lu Miao often represented the school in various competitions and events, so it was normal for her to miss classes for days. No one suspected anything and only asked when she would return to school.
Lu Yinan somehow managed to find a break and sat down next to her, looking at the messages on her phone with a complicated expression.
Seeing this, Lu Miao asked directly, “Do you want me to help her?”
Lu Yinan snapped out of it, “What are you thinking? It’s her own doing, she deserves it! Who asked her to bully my sister? I’ll use a fake account to expose her dirty laundry later. I just feel a bit sentimental about it.”
Lu Miao nodded, “It’s good if you’re not planning to help. If you did, I might have to kick you out.”
Lu Yinan: What happened to the deep sibling bond?
Back in her room, Lu Miao opened her computer and logged into the Qilin Forum, posting information about the Starfall Herb. Her private messages were already flooded, ranging from fortune-telling requests to feng Shui consultations, and even some people asking her to be their master. The prices ranged from tens of millions to hundreds of millions.
Lu Miao filtered out some useless messages and then saw a notification on her homepage. Just as she was about to open it, the phone on the table rang again.
She picked it up and saw that it was Gu Ziheng. He was probably busy until now because tonight was the broadcast of “Youth Trainees.”
She answered the call, and Gu Ziheng’s excited voice immediately came through, “Sis-in-law, you’ve gone viral! Several famous directors and talent agencies in the entertainment industry just called me, wanting to sign you. There are also a few brands that want you as their spokesperson. The ad fees start from ten million, and you can negotiate if you’re not satisfied. Do you want to take any of these offers?”
Ten million?
That price did make Lu Miao’s heart skip a beat. However, she had just made huge profit from Shen Qinghe and received various investment dividends recently. Her bank account balance was close to reaching ten digits, so she wasn’t interested in taking on such work for now.
“I’ll pass.”
“Hehe, I knew it! My brilliant, beautiful, intelligent, and witty super-genius sister-in-law would never bend for just a small sum of money.”
Gu Ziheng laughed on the other end of the phone and started showering her with flattery.
Lu Miao rubbed her forehead and said, “Speak human.”
She knew that when Gu Ziheng praised her like this, he must have something to ask her for.
Gu Ziheng cleared his throat and said, “Today’s show had record-breaking ratings thanks to you. We decided to add an extra episode next Wednesday, and then the finale of ‘Youth Trainees’ will be live on Sunday. Because so many viewers left messages asking for your appearance, the director called me and wanted you to be a guest performer during the finale.”
Lu Miao was speechless, “You want me to perform ‘Bending the metal pan’ on stage for you guys?”
“Cough, we’ll discuss that later. If you agree, I’ll talk to the director.” “I refuse.” Lu Miao flatly declined.
“Sis-in-law, sis-in-law, you are our show’s biggest sponsor! With high ratings, we get more from advertisers, and you’ll get a big share! Besides, you wouldn’t want to see our show get crushed by other programs during the final episode. After a year of preparation, we don’t want all our efforts to go to waste in the last episode, right? Sob, sob…” Gu Ziheng pretended to cry on the phone.
Lu Miao was getting a headache from his nagging, “Fine, I’ll perform, but only this once.”
“Great!” Gu Ziheng immediately cheered, “Sis-in-law, love you! You are my forever goddess!”
Since his throat was healed, Gu Ziheng had become increasingly cheerful.
Lu Miao hung up the phone and was about to go back to the forum when her phone rang again.
She thought it was Gu Ziheng again, so she picked up the call directly and said helplessly,”What do you want now?””
The breathing on the other end of the phone seemed to stop for a moment, then he slowly said,” I’m Leo. We met in the parking lot this afternoon.” Ah, the client is here!
Lu Miao immediately changed her tone and asked professionally,” Is it about the Starfall Herb?””
“Yes.” There was a sound on the other end of the phone.
“May I ask how many you need? If you need a lot, you may have to wait another day,” Lu Miao said skillfully.
On the phone, Leo spoke calmly, “Starfall Herb is no longer useful to me. If
Aluo contacts you, please hang up the phone directly and don’t meet him again. I don’t want to give him any false hope.”
Lu Miao pondered for a moment, “I also have some knowledge in medicine and some experience in dealing with difficult and complicated illnesses. You can tell me your situation, maybe I can help.”
“No need, thanks. I have my private doctor. Besides, I’ve already booked the flight ticket. Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll leave with him,” Gu Zhixing firmly declined.
Although he had witnessed Lu Miao’s abilities when he was searching for Starfall Herb, he still found it hard to judge what kind of person she really was. After all, Aluo had been tricked by her several times before, so he couldn’t be sure of her intentions.
Moreover, Starfall Herb was extremely precious and only found in locally. It required specific conditions, such as a meteor shower and meteorite landing, to be discovered and accurately harvested within a few hours. Such stringent conditions made Starfall Herb rare and scarce.
Lu Miao suddenly taking the initiative to find them and offering as much as they needed raised suspicions. They had no idea what her real motives were. Aluo was innocent and naive. If he encountered her, even if he was beinz sold, he might still help her count the money..
