"Hello!"

"Hello, I'm Xiaoyu, the marketing director of Weixi Skincare. We've contacted each other on Weibo, and you left your number."

Liang Shuang had no idea that, following a strategy of casting a wide net, she had replied to all the companies that contacted her, expressing interest in having her shoot commercials or become their spokesperson, and left her her phone number.

"Oh! Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

The person on the other end said, "It's like this, we watched your videos online and felt that you are a good match for our brand positioning. We'd like to collaborate with you on an advertisement to promote our new product. We wonder if you'd be interested?"

A smile appeared on Liang Shuang's face. This was the first time she had truly accepted an invitation, proving that her journey to becoming an internet celebrity had begun.

"Sure! Let's add each other on WeChat later and talk in detail."

"Okay, I'll contact you then!"

"Bye-Bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Liang Shuang was overjoyed. But then she seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment in front of the dormitory door, suppressed her smile, and pushed the door open.

As soon as I opened the dormitory door, I was startled by Luo Yan, who had red hair and was staring straight at me.

"Luo Yan, what are you trying to scare me about? What's all that mess on your head?!"

Luo Yan said calmly, "Liang Shuang, it's my business what I do. Besides, why do I do this? Don't you know the reason?"

Liang Shuang said guiltily, "What do I know! I told you to dye your hair."

Luo Yan said, "You know what happened, but you deliberately don't clarify it."

Liang Shuang raised her chin, making a fierce face: "What are you trying to clarify? You pushed me, and the video ended there. It's not like I edited it on purpose."

Luo Yan said, "I pushed you back then for your sake. Otherwise, if that pervert gets close to you, how can you become an internet celebrity with that face?"

Liang Shuang didn't want to hear what Luo Yan said. She was about to land her first advertisement and didn't want any trouble at this time.

"Things have already come to this, it's too late to say anything, there's nothing more to say, and there's really nothing I can do to help!"

With that, he walked past Luo Yan and entered the dormitory.

Throughout the day, Jiang Xiaoguo worked while keeping an eye on online public opinion. Unexpectedly, the matter escalated, with many Weibo influencers joining in to stir up trouble, criticizing Luo Yan from a moral high ground, and even creating jokes and anecdotes.

That day, I still had to work overtime. After leaving the company, I took the bus back to school and had a quick late-night snack at the cafeteria. It was already past nine o'clock at night.

When Jiang Xiaoguo rushed back to the dormitory, Luo Yan was already resting.

Seeing the serious commotion online, Jiang Xiaoguo was a little worried about her and went over to call out, "Shitou, Shitou, are you alright?"

Meanwhile, Liang Shuang had no interest in watching video tutorials today and went to bed early to rest.

Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's voice, he complained, "What are you yelling about so late at night! If you want to know how Luo Yan is, just pull back the curtain and take a look."

Jiang Xiaoguo gets angry whenever she sees Liang Shuang.

"Stop pretending to be a good person! Stone is like this because of you."

Liang Shuang's face immediately fell.

"Jiang Xiaoguo, I'm too lazy to repeat myself to you a second time. The person involved is still sleeping here, why are you all making such a fuss? Aren't you annoyed?"

"you......"

Just then, Luo Yan sat up in bed and pulled back the bed curtains.

"Xiao Guo, ignore her."

With the bed curtains no longer obscuring her view, Jiang Xiaoguo exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Luo Yan's bright red hair.

"Stone, what happened to you? What's wrong with your hair...?"

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly changed his tune and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Stone, we will definitely clarify the facts and clear your name."

"If you ever feel wronged in the future, tell me. Don't keep it to yourself and bear it alone. Da Bao and I will always be your best friends and will always stand by you."

Luo Yan forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Guo, it's alright."

"I've said it before: those keyboard warriors hide behind their screens just to vent their negative energy. They'll curse about anything. I was prepared for that."

"You don't need to worry about me. There's a saying: the world is wrong, not me. I'm really fine, don't worry."

"I'm going back to sleep now, goodnight!"

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Xiaoguo's response, Luo Yan smiled and lowered the bed curtains.

Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to say something more, but she had to give up. Luo Yan plays games every night, but she went to bed so early tonight, which clearly meant she wasn't truly indifferent to the insults online.

Turning her head, she saw Liang Shuang watching the show like a spectator and felt a surge of anger.

"What are you looking at? It's all your fault!"

Liang Shuang got angry too, and sneered, "What's it to blame me for? Blame me for not being as close to you sisters as I am."

Jiang Xiaoguo said, "What's it to blame you for? Don't you know? It's all for the sake of traffic!"

Liang Shuang's face darkened.

"Jiang Xiaoguo, do you think you're so righteous and I'm the bad guy? I just want to do it, so what?"

"Look at my Weibo now, so many people are praising me, praising my style and my beauty. My previous posts only got a few comments, but now they all have over ten thousand. Since I want to be a beauty blogger and an internet celebrity, I need traffic, so why should I let go of such a good opportunity?"

"you......"

Unexpectedly, Liang Shuang said that, and Jiang Xiaoguo retorted angrily, "But you can't sacrifice your roommate for your own benefit, can you? Aren't you being too selfish?"

"Am I selfish?"

With a sneer, Liang Shuang looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and retorted, "Who was it that helped her on the bus back then? The video is all over the internet now, it's not that easy to clarify."

"Since I've entered this industry, what's wrong with taking the opportunity to attract some fans? Just because you want to be a saint doesn't mean you can expect everyone to be as selfless as you."

"I..." Jiang Xiaoguo was choked and couldn't speak.

……

Although she said that, Liang Shuang still felt a little uncomfortable. She asked herself that she was not a bad person, so why did things turn out this way?

Although her words were spoken in a fit of anger, they may have represented some of her true thoughts.

Between my own interests and my roommate's interests, whose interests are more important?

As a novice internet celebrity, her original intention in posting that video was not to harm her roommates, but simply to show her positive energy, increase her popularity, and add some chips to the beauty competition!

To her surprise, the video went viral. Instead of criticizing the perpetrator, netizens attacked Luo Yan, the victim, which was something she hadn't anticipated.

She also wanted to delete the video to clarify things for Luo Yan. But seeing the rapidly growing number of fans and countless words of praise from netizens, she was conflicted and couldn't bear to do it.

Such a great opportunity requires both luck and serendipity; you might only encounter it a few times in your life. Are you really going to give it up like this?

With these thoughts swirling in my mind, I couldn't fall asleep.

Around 11 p.m., Liang Shuang suddenly heard faint noises coming from the quiet dormitory.

She peeked out through the gap in the bed curtains and saw Luo Yan tiptoe off the bed, walk to the desk, open her laptop, put on her headphones, and watch various online reports and videos about the incident.

Seeing her like this, Liang Shuang couldn't help but lie on the bed and watch silently. In the darkness, Luo Yan watched various videos about herself, and the various slanders and insults from netizens. Her eyes gradually reddened and became a little moist.

She wasn't indifferent; she was just pretending.

After watching for a while, Luo Yan quietly shut down the computer, went to the bathroom, and went back to bed to sleep.

Liang Shuang couldn't sleep anymore. She sat quietly on the bed, looking in Luo Yan's direction, lost in thought.

He sighed and then lay down to rest.

The next day, Liang Shuang got up early; she didn't want to see Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan.

However, thinking about Luo Yan's unusually sad appearance along the way made me feel a little uncomfortable. Was I really being too selfish?

She shook her head, banishing those thoughts from her mind. Her priority now was her career, a stable and secure career. She would submit her resignation today and become a professional online influencer; she couldn't afford to destroy her own future.

After thinking about it, I contacted the advertiser from last night via WeChat. The conversation went quite well. It was just a small order, quite simple, and we agreed to meet at noon today to sign the contract.

Having settled this matter, Liang Shuang felt more at ease; she could support herself even after resigning.

Upon arriving at the company, Liang Shuang handed in her resignation letter amidst the surprised gazes of her colleagues. Seeing the astonished expression on her team leader's face, Liang Shuang felt even better.

Since she had only been working there for a short time and hadn't even finished her internship, she handed over all her work in one morning and resigned completely.

After leaving the company, Liang Shuang hailed a taxi and headed to the agreed-upon location, but no one showed up despite her waiting.

Liang Shuang opened WeChat and sent a message to the other party.

WeChat then prompted: "He is not yet your friend. Verification is required!"

Liang Shuang was taken aback, not understanding what was going on. Had she encountered a scammer?

The two spoke on the phone last night, and Liang Shuang found the number and dialed it. Even if it was a scam and she had waited for so long for nothing, she still wanted an explanation.

As soon as the call connected, Liang Shuang launched into a barrage of words.

"What do you mean? We made plans this morning, and you stood me up and even deleted me on WeChat. Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

The person on the other end said, "You are... Miss Liang Shuang."

Liang Shuang snorted and said, "If it's not me, then who is it! Did you lie to someone else?"

The voice on the other end said calmly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Liang, we already have other options and I'm afraid we can't cooperate with you."

Liang Shuang became even angrier.
