After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 27: The Mysterious Man

Xu Xingyuan let out a cry from the sudden increase in calligraphy practice, a sound Jiang Lingxi was bound to miss as she walked too quickly.

Still, she couldn't avoid the exclamations from Lu Zhengzheng beside her.

"Xixi, this is the first time I've found out you can do calligraphy, and it's so good!"

"I don't know what to say, it just feels great."

"I saw that Mr. Xu was also impressed by your writing."

"But why did you choose to write the character 'Yin'? It seems a bit obscure."

...

After listening to the chatter all the way, Jiang Lingxi finally found a chance to interrupt Lu Zhengzheng when they returned to the villa, "There's nothing much to say, I just wrote what came to mind. Alright, aren't you tired after a whole day? Go back to your room and sleep."

If this went on, she'd have calluses on her ears!

How come she had never noticed this girl could talk so much before? Or has she just been too good-tempered lately?

After Lu Zhengzheng obediently headed back to her room, she realized that Xixi had answered two of her questions.

But, calligraphy skills aren't just something trivial. If any stars in the industry could write decent calligraphy, they'd be showing off their work on various platforms to get praise from fans and create a cultured persona.

It's astonishing that Xixi didn't see it as a major plus!

With this in mind, Lu Zhengzheng somehow felt a heavier burden on her shoulders.

Being beside Xixi, she must find Xixi more advantages for being a star, so those haters who mock Xixi for having nothing but looks can slap their faces.

With such a burden, Lu Zhengzheng went into her dreams full of anticipation.

In the next bedroom.

Jiang Lingxi leaned against the headboard, watching today's news replay.

Ever since discovering this news program by chance, she has been watching it almost every day. Before going to bed, she has to hold her phone and watch it for a while before drifting off.

Without leaving home, she can know the world's affairs.

This is what she dreamed of in her past life.

Plus, with the memories she previously received mostly revolving around the entertainment industry, watching the news these days has finally given her a clearer understanding of the world today.

After the news replay ended, Jiang Lingxi yawned and was ready to turn off the screen and sleep.

Just at that moment, her phone suddenly pushed a piece of entertainment news.

The headline was explosive and exaggerated, enough to catch the eye.

'Popular starlet Jiang Xiyu spotted at a secret hotel meeting with a mysterious man, her pure image might crumble!!!'

The three exclamation marks showed its shock value.

Jiang Lingxi used to curiously open such news but ever since hearing from Tong Yue and Lu Zhengzheng that this kind of news is generally speculative, just sensationalist to grab attention and get views, with only one true out of ten, she hasn't paid much attention to them.

But this time, before exiting, she couldn't help but glance at the face in the photo below the headline again.

The photo, taken from afar, was obviously a candid shot, slightly blurry, but the angle was well-captured, showing Jiang Xiyu's three-quarters profile.

That face made Jiang Lingxi instinctively touch her chin; it bore a certain resemblance to her own.

She remembered when she first woke up in this world, hearing Tong Yue mentioning 'Little Jiang Lingxi,' who debuted with the claim of a striking resemblance and even outshone the original's fame for a while.

If there were no surprises, it seemed to be this girl named Jiang Xiyu.

With this thought, Jiang Lingxi settled her heart and continued scrolling.

Ultimately, she found a segment with some substantive content towards the end.

It was about the mysterious man's identity.

However, the photo only showed the man's back after getting out of the car, not a glimpse of his face, and half of the luxury car, with the license plate hidden as well.

It was like photographing emptiness.

Looking further into the text supplements, the author seemingly failed to uncover any information about this mysterious man, living up to the moniker.

Before exiting the news page, Jiang Lingxi, driven by curiosity, clicked on and slightly zoomed in on the photo showing only the man's back and part of the luxury car.

The man had a tall and slender figure, and just from the back view, he exuded a powerful aura.

Yet, none of this seemed familiar to her, mainly it was the half luxury car in the photo that felt oddly familiar.

Reflecting, she unknowingly came across comments from netizens, also browsing their phones late at night like her.

"Jiang Xiyu's debut film just wrapped and such news pops up; undoubtedly, it's released by the competitors."

"Blind guess, Jiang Lingxi. Who wouldn't, given Jiang Xiyu gets called Little Jiang Lingxi, and now seems to be surpassing Jiang Lingxi in fame. Can she tolerate that?"

"Jiang Lingxi really can't do anything right, always up for a petty feud, ridiculous!"

"But it's understandable, a person who mixed into the circle under their name is about to surpass them, I'd find it unbearable too."

"If Jiang Lingxi could be a bit better-natured, stop acting up and focus on honing her acting skills, she wouldn't be in the mess she is now."

"Stop bringing that person up, have you checked the last photo? The so-called mysterious man by the author, gosh, his backview tickles my fancy. I just want to ask the author why they didn't show a front view!"

Jiang Lingxi didn't read further into the comments, quietly turned off her phone, thinking curiosity really killed the cat!

The online chaos of weird characters was truly overwhelming, better to sleep!

*

Early the next morning.

The seldom-cleaned van parked in front of the high-speed rail station.

Jiang Lingxi, masked and capped, alighted from the car, while Lu Zhengzheng took the luggage from Yao Xiaotian.

The high-speed rail station always bustled with travelers, and though Yao Xiaotian wanted to see them through to the station personally, Jiang Lingxi declined.

She wasn't so incapable of handling life herself.

Before departing, Yao Xiaotian gritted his teeth and tugged at Lu Zhengzheng's sleeve.

Lu Zhengzheng looked surprised, "What's up, Xiaotian?"

"Well, I was just wondering," Yao Xiaotian glanced at Jiang Lingxi standing not far ahead, lowered his voice, "does your artist have a fan group?"

Lu Zhengzheng: "...That's all?"

"Yes."

"We do, let me add you in."

"Thanks."

"No need to thank, Xixi's gained another fan, I should be thanking you."

Through sunglasses, Jiang Lingxi watched the bustling travelers, then noticing the footsteps behind, she turned back, waved to the departing Yao Xiaotian, and took a bag from Lu Zhengzheng's hand, "Let's go."

Once through security and seated in the waiting area, Lu Zhengzheng, as if presenting a treasure, held up her phone to Jiang Lingxi, "Xixi, look! You've gained a new fan."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at the phone screen, "Stream 6 Group? Are the numbers the members?"

"Yes, the first five big groups are full, this one just started last month, so it's less crowded. Xixi, look, this is Xiaotian who just joined."

"I see, what's the full number per group?"

"We have super big groups, each can accommodate up to ten thousand people. Xixi, although you have many haters, you actually have plenty of loyal fans too."

However, she didn't say one thing, aside from the newly joined Yao Xiaotian, most fans were just face fans.

As for career fans, they didn't exist.

For Xixi's face fans, all they needed was to look at her face!

Such an objective yet slightly frustrating reality!
