Jing Shu said, "It’s too late for apologies now. I’m already angry, so don’t say I bullied you later."
Jing Shu really didn’t want to do this; it was too much like bullying. Why did so people always insist on provoking powerful opponents?
Sweet Dumpling retorted, "What, are you going to co here and hit ? Try it! See if I don’t kill you. Who dares to ss around without connections these days? Even if you’re just so broke president, how powerful can you be? You think you can manage across industries? I work at the power grid. Co at if you dare!"
Jing Shu replied, "I won’t hit you. Later, you can hit yourself. You’re shouting so fiercely now; just make sure you don’t apologize later. Have so backbone."
Sweet Dumpling scoffed, "Bullshit! Only morons apologize. Co on, co now, or everyone will look down on you. Trying to play tough with ? I’ve seen this trick a million tis before."
Jiang Changke quickly typed, "Alright, alright, Boss, I was wrong! I’ll take back everything I said imdiately. You guys better apologize quickly too. If you offend the Boss, you’re done for! Do you know how powerful the Vice President is? A flick of her little finger could crush you! And those in the group acting like big shots, stop calling Young Master Lan so affectionately. He’s nothing in front of Jing Shu! And what about the Wu City Four? Do you think following Gold Dominator makes you so incredible?"
The Wu City Four? Jing Shu had no idea such people even existed.
Jiang Changke really knew how to stir up hatred; he was a natural-born troublemaker. His words offended everyone, causing widespread dissatisfaction and strong condemnation. They imdiately lumped Jiang Changke in with Jing Shu, rendering her speechless. Where the heck did this idiot co from? I have absolutely no impression of him.
"Jiang Changke, who do you think you’re fooling, acting like this is real? You borrowed money from us, claiming misfortune, and never paid it back, you little wretch!"
Guo Qiran sneered, "Act, go on, keep acting. It’s quite believable. You must have made a good amount of Virtual Coins from this, right? Scamr!"
Liu Xia chid in, "Each of the Wu City Four is impressive. Gold Dominator’s dad is the big boss of Wu City. Young Master Lan calls Gold Dominator his brother; isn’t that impressive? Young Master Lan’s family also holds a high position in Wu City, and he even helped our school secure many job positions. Tell , just how impressive is Young Master Lan? Even Jing Shu can’t possibly match his status, can she?"
Jing Shu understood now. Gold Dominator? Jin Tianci’s son? He was the one who stole her supplies that year, angering her so much that she stord directly into Jin Tianci’s house. So, she had a score to settle with Gold Dominator too.
When did this guy even form the Wu City Four?
The group chat completely exploded.
Even Young Master Lan of the Wu City Four started @-ing Jiang Changke, warning him to watch his words or face the consequences.
Young Master Lan clearly had significant influence, as many people in the group depended on him for their jobs. Once he spoke, the tide imdiately turned in his favor.
However, Jing Shu’s problems weren’t solved. Many in the group supporting Sweet Dumpling had started attacking Jing Shu, accusing her and Jiang Changke of being deceivers of the sa ilk. They taunted, "Now that Young Master Lan has spoken, why aren’t you keeping quiet?" So even dug up Jing Shu’s old influencer materials, mocking her for failing as an actress and becoming an influencer instead. At first glance, Jing Shu seed to be at a disadvantage, but that wasn’t really the case.
Look at how frequent online bickering still was. Keyboard warriors, so frustrated in their real lives, beca incredibly brazen online. They acted as if they were God Almighty, believing they could not only destroy soone online but also snuff them out in real life whenever they pleased.
It made this apocalypse seem as if it weren’t even a society governed by law anymore.
But the war of words continued. Liu Xia and a few others kept making snide and mocking comnts. So cursed Jiang Changke while simultaneously fawning over Young Master Lan, who seed to enjoy having the whole situation under his control. Sotis, he would interject, "Okay, I’ll just add a few more spots for Celebrities Gathering. But as I’ve always said, those who are truly capable don’t need my spots to get in, and I wouldn’t invite fakes anyway."
Liu Xia gushed, "Wow, did you see that? That’s Young Master Lan for you, able to add spots to Celebrities Gathering just like that! It must be run by your relatives, right? Can you take with you so I can broaden my horizons? Not like so people who resort to faking things and tricking others, thinking that pretending to be so vice president will get them in."
"It’s a classic case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice bait. Hiring Jiang Changke must have cost a fortune, right?"
Young Master Lan said modestly, "It’s not run by my relatives. I just pulled so strings through Gold Dominator. He calls the shots for these things. After all, isn’t Wu City still under his dad’s control?"
Just then, Sister Tang Yuan, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly posted a video and @-all, causing everyone to pause and open it.
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
A series of crisp slaps rang out. It was a video of Sister Tang Yuan slapping herself, one after another, each blow leaving a red mark. She was being incredibly harsh on herself.
While hitting herself, she choked out, "I’m sorry, I was wrong! I was reckless before, that’s why I spoke that way about soone. I’m just jealous and couldn’t get over it. I’m an idiot! I’m really sorry, Jing Shu... Please, let go! I beg you, I know I was wrong... I was talking big; I thought you wouldn’t dare do anything to ... I’m sorry, I have no backbone. I’m scared..."
After watching the video and hearing her words, everyone was stunned. They were utterly shocked. What the hell was going on? What was this situation?
Liu Xia typed, "@Sister Tang Yuan, what nonsense are you spouting? How can you bow down to evil forces? Did she threaten you? Speak up, and I’ll stand up for you!"
Sister Tang Yuan shot back, "Fuck off! You’re the one stirring up trouble here. You’d better apologize, and fast!"
Liu Xia fud, "Seriously? How can there be people like this? I’m damn well trying to help you, and you’re siding with the enemy? This is a true case of offering a warm face only to get a cold shoulder!"
Just monts ago, Sister Tang Yuan had been the loudest with her curses. She disappeared for only a few minutes, and then suddenly, she completely changed her tune. Just as everyone was puzzled by this, it wasn’t long before Liu Xia also posted a half-minute-long voice ssage apology, her tone filled with extre fright, terror, and shock.
The students then realized sothing was truly amiss. Jing Shu’s influence was indeed significant! It had only been a few minutes, hadn’t it? People were cursing happily just monts before, and now, in no ti at all, Sister Tang Yuan was slapping herself while apologizing. What on earth had Jing Shu done?
Jiang Changke laughed. "Hahaha, @Sister Tang Yuan, why are you caving in and admitting your mistake now? The worst they could do is use their connections to get you fired. Are you really bowing down just for a lousy job? Look at your husband, @Cheng Long. He hasn’t said a peep! He was silent when you were hurling abuse, and now that you’re practically on your knees, he’s still nowhere to be seen. Tsk, tsk, what a scumbag."
