Jiang Ling’er did not hide anything. She revealed, “It’s the same guy from earlier. Brother Lin wants to draft a press release to confront him directly.”
“I’m on board, but do you know who he is?” Wen Nuan asked promptly.
“We’ll find out once we investigate,” Lin Sheng replied casually.
Wen Nuan added, “My brother mentioned that these marketing accounts can be quite peculiar, but there are ways to handle them. It’s just a bit of a hassle. Count me in if we’re going to fight back. When 1 saw those people insulting you, I couldn’t help but want to retaliate.”
Jiang Ling’er appreciated Wen Nuan’s sincerity and felt touched. “Nuannuan, 1 understand your intentions,” she responded. “But let’s not fret over this minor issue for now. I told Brother Lin that using a sledgehammer to crack a nut isn’t necessary.”
Wen Nuan understood the reasoning behind this but was still discontented. “So, you’re just going to let them bully you?” she inquired.
Jiang Ling’er clarified, “Despite some setbacks, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. You’ve seen the comments section. Even if they employ Internet trolls to delete comments, they’ll still be outnumbered by supportive netizens. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“This also demonstrates the discerning eye of the public,” Lin Sheng chimed in.
Jiang Ling’er nodded in agreement. “Okay, I can’t change your mind, but you’re the only one who doesn’t care getting slandered like this,” Wen Nuan sighed helplessly.
Despite saying that, Wen Nuan knew that Jiang Ling’er would not allow herself to be at a disadvantage.
“Ling’er,” Lin Sheng said. “If you ever want to deal with those people, just say the word.”
“Brother Lin, you already know who it is?” Wen Nuan inquired with narrowed eyes.
Lin Sheng openly confirmed it, and Wen Nuan grew excited, asking, “Ling’er, if you know who it is, why haven’t you taken action yet? Are you saving it for a special occasion?”
Jiang Ling’er playfully tapped Wen Nuan’s forehead and replied, “Nuannuan, don’t worry. These clowns won’t harm me at all.”
Could so many bystanders really be standing up for Jiang Ling’er? It seemed highly improbable since she hadn’t achieved anything remarkable. How could so many people support her?
Yet, the impossible had become possible, indicating that a benefactor was secretly assisting Jiang Ling’er during this publicity surge. Who this benefactor was, remained a mystery.
The following day, Jiang Ling’er worked from morning until almost four in the afternoon, wrapping up her filming for the day.
During meal time, the staff gave her only a piece of bread and half a glass of water. Jiang Ling’er was left starving. When the director announced they were done for the day, Jiang Ling’er immediately ran out, changed her clothes, and left the Chen Group building with Wen Nuan.
The duo arrived at an afternoon tea shop. As Jiang Ling’er savored her cake, she remarked, “Nuannuan, let me tell you, today was more exhausting than filming an action scene.”
Wen Nuan watched Jiang Ling’er eat with concern and said, “Don’t eat too much sweet stuff. You’ll gain weight.”
“It’s okay, 1 know how to handle it,” Jiang Ling’er reassured her with a smile.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ling’er apologized, “Nuannuan, I’m truly sorry for keeping you in the lounge for so long.”
Wen Nuan replied warmly, “1 was chatting with a few netizens in the lounge, and the lunch that Chen Group prepared for me was pretty good. You, on the other hand, have been busy since morning. You must be so tired and hungry. It’s not easy to earn money from Chen Group!”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and shared, “That’s true. I initially thought it would be easy, with just some photos and advertisements, not many lines to memorize. 1 was quite naive.”
“Do you regret it now?” Wen Nuan inquired.
Jiang Ling’er shook her head proudly, saying, “Wearing those accessories, even though 1 know 1 have to take them off later, I still enjoy it so much.”
Wen Nuan teased, “Do you need even more accessories?”
Jiang Ling’er raised her eyebrows, replying, “Why would a woman complain about having too many accessories?”
Wen Nuan agreed, “You’re right. After we finish eating, let’s head back to school.”
Jiang Ling’er asked, “Isn’t the last class today a drama class?”
Wen Nuan checked her schedule and nodded.
Jiang Ling’er hesitated before saying, “Yes, the drama teacher is quite interesting.”
Wen Nuan nodded, then hesitated herself. After a few seconds, she finally spoke, “Ling’er, 1 have something important to tell you.”
Jiang Ling’er was puzzled. She looked around in confusion, but she did not see anyone suspicious.
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Ling’er asked in confusion. Why are you being so mysterious?”
Wen Nuan explained, “After seeing you off for work this morning, 1 went back to the car to get my charger. As I was leaving, I saw Bai Xue in the underground garage..”
