He said somewhat guiltily, "I'm not saying this for any other reason than to warn you not to fall for it."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I know. We know each other well. She's kind, sensible, and understanding. Aside from being a bit greedy and a bit serious, she has no other flaws."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Jiang Xiaoguo was overjoyed, but after hearing the second half, she couldn't help but feel angry.

“Who’s greedy? I’m just being frugal, I’m just being diligent in managing my household; is that being meticulous? I’m just being serious, I’m just being responsible.”

Li Mu nodded: "Yes! Yes! I misspoke. I should say that Xiao Guo is thrifty, hardworking, and responsible."

Jiang Xiaoguo snorted, a smile appearing on her lips.

Li Mu said, "Let's go, little birthday star, let's celebrate your birthday properly today."

"There's a birthday present for you in the car, see if you like it."

Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes lit up, and she instantly became happy.

……

After returning home, Liang Shuang followed Li Mu's plan and first issued an apology statement on Weibo, explaining why she posted the video: she only wanted to use the video's influence to improve her ranking in the beauty blogger competition, and had no intention of targeting Luo Yan. The subsequent escalation of the situation and the cyberbullying Luo Yan suffered were entirely caused by some influential self-media outlets stirring up trouble, not by her own actions.

Subsequently, he released the information of the perverted lecher in the car at the time, including his criminal record, through Weibo.

Many netizens then discovered that the pervert who had been overlooked before actually had thirteen or fourteen criminal records of molesting and harassing women.

This only includes the number of times victims reported the incidents to the police, which are recorded by the police. The number of victims who did not report the incidents is likely much higher than this.

What shocked everyone the most was that this person had just been detained and released by the police the day before yesterday for harassing Luo Yan, and only two days later, he committed another crime and was detained by the police station for molesting women.

This scumbag, who repeatedly refuses to change his ways, was previously overlooked by everyone, which immediately ignited public anger.

The netizens who originally attacked Liang Shuang have found a new target and outlet for their anger. Countless netizens and self-media have joined in, demanding that the police severely punish her in order to rectify social morals.

Meanwhile, many victims have also mustered the courage to post reports online.

For a time, it caused quite a stir.

The pressure on Liang Shuang was immediately reduced by more than half. She then posted again, denouncing the self-media and big V accounts that had previously led the attack on Luo Yan, shifting most of the blame for Luo Yan's cyberbullying and clearing her own name considerably.

After several rounds, the online attacks against Liang Shuang decreased by 95%, and they no longer posed a threat.

As for the rest, they are die-hard haters who stick to their principles, and it will be very, very difficult for them to change their minds. Liang Shuang understands this as well.

Just like Li Mu once told her, as an internet celebrity who makes a living online, both haters and fans are fans, as long as you don't have an overwhelming number of haters.

As long as the haters don't gain the upper hand or take the initiative, even if they frequently expose negative information online and engage in verbal battles with fans, it's a good thing, as it can increase popularity and attention.

Nowadays, which celebrity or internet celebrity doesn't have haters? Many people who are unknown to the public become known after being stirred up and hyped by haters.

……

After all these measures, the public opinion storm surrounding Liang Shuang finally subsided, and she even benefited from the misfortune, gaining a significant increase in her Weibo followers due to the two hot topics of praise and criticism.

Furthermore, she orchestrated a nationwide online outcry against the perverted lecher on the bus, which garnered her even more fans.

Liang Shuang's Weibo followers quickly surpassed 600,000, making her a veritable internet celebrity.

Although the online criticism of her has subsided, Liang Shuang decided to keep a low profile for a while to let the storm of this incident pass completely and to fade away this dark history.

Once netizens have forgotten about this incident, he can reappear with a new image, minimizing the impact of this dark history on his influencer career.

However, she can't be an internet celebrity right now, and she can't make a living from being one. Furthermore, while online public opinion against her has shifted, it hasn't truly cleared her name.

It's highly likely that they won't be able to get any endorsement deals with businesses.

But she also needs to live and eat. She's lost her job and has no other source of income.

So, on this day, Li Mu went shopping at the mall and saw Liang Shuang and several tall girls holding flyers and samples in front of a cosmetics store called "Snow Princess" from afar, shouting eye-searing slogans.

"50% off special offer, only 69 yuan! Rejuvenation is not a dream!"

"50% off special offer, only 69 yuan! Rejuvenation is not a dream!"

Compared to the others, Liang Shuang was clearly still reserved, seemingly feeling ashamed. She stood there mechanically handing out flyers, muttering to herself along with the other girls.

Not only were the slogans embarrassing to utter, but the outfits of the girls, including Liang Shuang, were also quite shocking.

A white shirt, a sky-blue mini skirt, and a bow tied at the chest that matches the skirt—it looks just like a Japanese girl's uniform from an anime. Perhaps its real name should be sailor uniform.

Liang Shuang listlessly shouted slogans and handed out flyers, feeling very depressed. She had never realized it before, but now she finally understood how hard it was to earn money.

She had hoped to find a reliable company to work for, but unfortunately, she was used to spending money lavishly. Even though she had been very frugal recently, after compensating Chen Zhuo, she had almost spent all the money she had left.

In order to survive, I have to find a job as soon as possible, and one that can pay me wages as quickly as possible.

After searching for a long time, I finally found this job handing out flyers and soliciting customers, and I even had to wear a shameful sailor uniform.

The job is easy, the hours are flexible, the pay is generous, and it's paid daily, making it especially suitable for a girl with a good image like her.

I'm praying that I don't run into anyone I know. I plan to work here for ten days to two weeks to earn enough for living expenses, then go back to school to settle down and learn how to become an online influencer, how to make videos, and how to do live streaming!

Suddenly, she saw Li Mu walking towards her direction as if by accident.

Liang Shuang felt ashamed and was about to make an excuse to avoid him when her eyes met Li Mu's. There was no point in hiding now.

As Li Mu approached, Liang Shuang forced a dry smile. Seeing Li Mu looking like this made her feel like she was going to die.

“You…you’re here to shop at the mall!” Liang Shuang blurted out first.

Li Mu said, "I was just browsing out of boredom. What are you doing here doing part-time work?"

Liang Shuang blushed and quickly made up a legitimate reason: "I want to be a beauty blogger! I need to know more about the products. This cosmetics store is the largest flagship store in the area, so I came here to learn part-time."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Is that so? You must have worked hard."

As she spoke, she glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late. It's rare to run into you like this. Would you like to have a meal together later?"

Liang Shuang looked at her sailor uniform, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Okay, I'll message you on WeChat after I get off work."

Li Mu said, "Okay, I'll just wander around the neighborhood. See you in a bit."

"See you soon!"

Watching Li Mu walk away, Liang Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, but her face flushed again as she looked at her sailor uniform.

Chapter 325 Dispute

After agreeing on a time, Li Mu chose a decent restaurant nearby, and Liang Shuang arrived on time after finishing her part-time job.

However, he had already changed out of his sailor uniform.

Upon seeing Liang Shuang, Li Mu waved and said, "Over here!"

Liang Shuang searched the hall and saw Li Mu. A smile appeared on her face, and she quickly walked over.

"I've been so grateful for your suggestion last time, I haven't even thanked you yet!"

Li Mu said, "Don't be so polite. I'm just giving you a few pointers. The main thing is that you have good execution skills."

"Next, I've decided to pursue a career as an online influencer and become a blogger," Li Mu asked.

Liang Shuang nodded: "I have good looks, which is suitable for this industry. I don't like being a junior employee in a company, so being a freelance online influencer is more suitable for me."

What do you think of my work in this industry?

Li Mu nodded: "You have good looks and excellent speaking skills, so becoming an internet celebrity will definitely be much easier for you."

"The potential of this industry is also good, with a high ceiling, so it's worth a try."

Liang Shuang was very happy to receive the recognition.

"Once the storm passes and I have some time to settle down, I'll start over, beginning as a beauty blogger."

……

The two were eating and chatting when they didn't notice that Duan Jiabao was looking at them with a conflicted expression on his face from the other side of the restaurant.

She knew that Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to rekindle her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, and she even had a conflict with Liang Shuang on her birthday. Unexpectedly, the two ended up having dinner together.

If Jiang Xiaoguo saw this, it would be disastrous.

However, compared to Liang Shuang, she was closer to Jiang Xiaoguo, and it would be too unfriendly of her to keep it a secret.

After hesitating for a while, I still sent a WeChat message to Jiang Xiaoguo.

Soon, Jiang Xiaoguo rushed over and saw Li Mu and Liang Shuang eating and chatting together, and immediately became anxious.

I wanted to rush over and confront them, but I didn't have any grounds to stand on, so I was stuck there for a moment.

Just then, Li Mu went to the restroom, and the opportunity was perfect. Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't hold back any longer and walked over with an angry look on her face.

"Liang Shuang, what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang sneered, "Why can't I be here?"

Jiang Xiaoguo's momentum immediately weakened considerably.

"I mean, how do you all eat together?"

Liang Shuang glanced at her and said, "Why can't we eat together?"

Jiang Xiaoguo said weakly, "I mean, you two aren't even familiar with each other, so why are you eating together?"

Liang Shuang said, "How do you know we're not familiar? Actually, we're very familiar. My problem was resolved so quickly because Da Chuan helped me come up with a solution."
