I was criticized on a dating reality show, but I retaliated and became an internet sensation.

She took two more sips of water, then remembered something, picked up her phone and opened the chat window with her older sister.

Last night before bed, Sister Wen seemed to send five or six voice messages in quick succession. She was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, and she only replied with "Okay" before falling asleep immediately.

She clicked on the latest post, and Sister Wen's strong, resonant voice immediately came through:

"Shuzi! Meet downstairs at the company tomorrow at 2 PM. Don't even think about being a second late! I've sent you the shooting plan; you have to finish it tonight!"

"Also, be on your best for dinner with Director Fei tonight! This script is more important than any you've taken on before! Do you hear me?!"

Shu Zi stuck out her tongue and quickly replied with a "Yes, sir" emoji.

Sitting opposite her, Lin Xueting looked at her obedient little face and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Your sister Wen really cares about you. She's strict with you because it's for your own good."

"Okay~" Shu Zi drawled out, then forked another piece of apple to eat.

After a simple breakfast, Shuzi spent some time with Lin Xueting in the flower room.

Sunlight streamed through the glass roof, warm and inviting, and the air was filled with the scent of damp earth and fresh plants.

My phone vibrated in my pocket; it was a message from the "Plastic Sisters" group chat.

The biggest sleeper within a hundred miles: "@A Little Piglet! Half of the three-day holiday is over! Have you been lazing around at home? Has Mr. Gu's Yunqi Platinum Mansion experience voucher expired yet? (evil laugh)"

A little girl said, "...Fang Ran, can't you think of anything else besides gossip?! I have work this afternoon! Besides, I'm going home! Isn't it better to be a mama's girl at home?!"

The sleepiest person within a hundred miles: "Work? What work? Oh ho ho ho~ I know~ Does work mean I have to see President Gu? (doge)"

A young woman exclaimed, "Get lost! I have a magazine shoot! I have a dinner party tonight!"

Cute and clueless: "Go Zizi! But be careful at dinner parties, drink less alcohol."

The person who sleeps the most within a hundred miles:

"Yes! Anyone who tries to persuade you to drink, have Gu Yan come pick you up! It'll scare them to death!"

"By the way, that painting you gave away on the show was like a bombshell! Several art collecting groups I infiltrated with my alternate account are buzzing with it, saying that you must have some serious connections to get Aci's painting."

"Some people guessed you were a hidden rich fan of Aci, and others said you're from a wealthy family, which is why you're friends with Aci. It's hilarious, ahahahahahahahaha."

Cute and clueless: "This is outrageous!"

Shu Zi looked at the screen, her lips twitching.

Fang Ran and Qiao Yue were the only people besides her family and Gu Yan who knew that she was Aci.

As she watched Fang Ran relay those speculations in an outsider's tone, she felt a strange sense of absurdity.

A little girl: "Let them guess, they'll never guess! This young lady has kept her achievements hidden! (˘꒳˘꜀)"

The sleepiest person within a hundred miles: "That's right! Our Zizi is going to conquer the entertainment industry with her acting skills and then shock the art world with her painting skills—a double queen! (Showing off her flattery)"

Cute and silly: "Queen jpg." ×10

Cute and silly: "Cheers GIF." x10

A little girl: "..."

Cute and clueless: "Although, I still have to emphasize again, don't drink alcohol given to you by strangers~"

A little boy: "Okay, you two old ladies, wait for my triumphant return~ Mwah!"

After chatting for a few more minutes, Shu Zi switched out of the group chat and casually browsed Weibo.

You won't know until you try it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

Paparazzi photographed Fang Yutong and Liang Zihao entering a hotel together.

Shu Zi raised an eyebrow.

Liang Zihao is a typical spoiled brat, stupid and rich, who idles away his days. Everyone in their circle knows that.

Although the Liang family is not as prestigious as the Shu or Gu families, they are still considered a prominent family in the social circle.

If this matter between him and Fang Yutong really blows up, it will definitely not look good. Liang Zihao is an only son, and the Liang family has not stepped in to suppress it.

Or perhaps... it's just that it can't be suppressed.

Could it be that the "handling" Gu Yan mentioned last time refers to this matter?

Shuzi continued scrolling down.

Fang Yutong's team then issued a lukewarm clarification, saying it was a gathering of friends.

Shu Zi scoffed. Only a fool would believe such a clarification.

Sure enough, as she continued reading, many of Yu Shize's fans disagreed, and Fang Yutong was successfully criticized and trended on Weibo.

Yu Shize also gained a lot of "sympathy" fans because of this incident.

She didn't look at it anymore, closed Weibo, and put her phone back in her pocket.

At 1 p.m., Uncle Liu's car was parked downstairs at the company right on time.

Shu Zi got out of the car, pulled down the brim of her baseball cap, and strode into the office building.

As the elevator went up, she first went to Lan Manwen's office.

Shu Zi pushed open the door and went in. Sister Wen was sitting behind her desk, with a tablet computer and several documents spread out in front of her.

Lan Manwen looked up at her, her gaze sweeping over her face like a scanner. "Your complexion is alright, and you've covered your dark circles well. You really didn't stay up late last night?"

"Really, really! Sister Wen, I went to bed really early last night!" Shu Zi obediently sat down opposite her, making a promise like a model student.

Lan Manwen nodded in satisfaction and pushed over a bound document:

"The inside pages of Fashion Magazine, although not the cover, are still a key resource."

"They're doing a special on the new generation of talent this time, and they approached you because they're interested in your recent popularity and that... unique energy you have on the show."

She paused, then lightly tapped the plan with her fingertip:

"The filming team is their top-notch team. The photographer, Chen Xu, is extremely demanding, but the quality of the photos is absolutely top-notch."

"Just follow instructions, don't change your mind, and don't let me down."

"Okay." Shu Zi nodded and carefully opened the plan.

Lan Manwen stared at her for a couple of seconds, her face clearly conveying, "I know you're rich, but don't get rich yet," and continued to instruct her:

"The clothes for the shoot are all haute couture from the current season, and the jewelry is also sponsored. They're very expensive, and the company probably can't afford to pay for them. Be careful not to damage them."

Shu Zi nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry about leaving it to me!"

Lan Manwen looked at her suspiciously, while Shu Zi nodded her head even faster.

Lan Manwen nodded and continued, "The makeup should be fresh and natural, highlighting the strengths of your features. The key is your eyes and overall demeanor. I want you to be at your best, so don't mess it up."

"We have a dinner party tonight, so let's change clothes quickly after filming and head over there."

"Understood, Sister Wen." Shu Zi closed the plan, already having a good idea of ​​what to do.

"Let's go, the car is waiting downstairs." Lan Manwen acted immediately, grabbing her coat and bag, and heading out the door.

At exactly two o'clock, Fang Zhizi was already waiting downstairs. She was carrying a bulging bag filled with all sorts of things. As soon as she saw Shu Zi, she immediately went over to her.

"Wow! Zizi, you look amazing today! You look so beautiful!!"

Shu Zi was overjoyed by the praise, her mouth practically twisted to the sky.

She gave Fang Zhizi an approving look: "Little Zhizi knows how to talk!"

The filming location was a famous creative park in the east of the city. The car drove into the park and stopped in front of a gray and white industrial-style building.

There were already people waiting at the door, and they immediately came forward to greet them as they got out of the car.

"Sister Lan, Teacher Shuzi, this way please. Teacher Chen is already in the studio."
