Chapter 5: That's Even More Interesting

Then, these people, feeling unsatisfied with just venting here, were stirred up by internet trolls and immediately ran to Luo Ning’s Weibo to continue the abuse.

Beyond that, there were many other insults that were incredibly vile.

For example: [I heard Luo Ning has several sugar daddies behind the scenes. A rotten woman like this shouldn't come and ruin our top-tier idol.]

[One look at Luo Ning’s face and you can tell she’s a restless, seductive vixen. If you want to hook up with someone, go find your sugar daddies; don't come and harm our Xing-zai.]

[Luo Ning, go die...]

There were also fans of Luo Ning who tried to refute these claims, saying there was no evidence and that people shouldn't just throw mud at her, but these comments were quickly drowned out by the abuse from Ji Xingheng’s fans.

Having already experienced being blacklisted by the entire internet, having all her resources canceled, being truly boycotted by the public, and being told to get out of the entertainment industry, what did this little bit of hate and trolling matter? Luo Ning didn't care at all.

She wasn't even surprised by this news; it was all within her expectations.

She smiled and patted Xi Shu’s shoulder. "Don't be angry. Bo Xiangxiang set a trap for me, and since I didn't jump into it earlier, she certainly wouldn't just sit there and give up."

"Then what should we do? If we go out and clarify things, but Yan Qiuping and Ji Xingheng don't make a move, we’ll just be mocked even more severely." Xi Shu was at a loss.

Those two were on Bo Xiangxiang’s side; they certainly wouldn't step forward to clarify anything. It was so infuriating.

This kind of matter was hard to explain clearly. Unless they produced hard evidence, those haters and trolls would never let Ning-ning go.

Luo Ning said calmly and confidently, "I have a way to solve this. For now, don't worry about it. Them continuing to stir up trouble and smear me is actually just increasing my exposure."

"The more chaotic it gets, the more interesting it will be when the reversal happens. I’ll also be able to completely tear off the labels of 'clinging to Ji Xingheng for clout' and 'using him for publicity'."

Seeing her relaxed and calm demeanor, Xi Shu’s anxious heart finally settled. "Is there anything I need to do?"

"I’m planning to change my manager. If Yan Qiuping looks for me in the next two days, just stall him by saying I’m in a bad mood." Luo Ning didn't want Yan Qiuping to find out about this and interfere.

Xi Shu nodded. "No problem."

During the darkest time of her life, it was Luo Ning who had pulled her up, so she would always stay by her side.

The next day, Luo Ning went to the company alone.

She didn't go to her own workspace but headed straight to the president’s office.

The person currently in charge of Xinghuang Entertainment was the eldest son of the Fu family, Fu Ci. Only he could help her change managers quickly and without trouble.

As she reached the door, Fu Ci’s secretary walked out.

"Miss Luo, what is this about?"

Luo Ning didn't beat around the bush. "I want to see President Fu."

The secretary asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

Luo Ning shook her head. "No."

"Then I’m sorry, President Fu’s schedule is full for today." The secretary politely declined.

He thought to himself, is this another starlet trying to take a shortcut to climb the ladder? Their President Fu wasn't the kind of playboy who would engage in "hidden rules" with his own artists.

"Please pass this note to President Fu. I believe he will want to see me." Luo Ning took a note she had written earlier out of her bag and handed it over.

"The content of this note is of great importance to President Fu. If it’s delayed, it will cause him a great loss." Seeing the other party hesitate to take it, she added with a faint smile.

Secretary Wei was originally going to continue refusing, but hearing those words, he thought for a moment and reached out to take the note. "I’ll go in and ask for President Fu’s decision."

This woman had better not be lying to him, or she would be finished.

Secretary Wei knocked and walked in. Fu Ci looked up and asked, "What is it?"

"President Fu, a starlet in the company named Luo Ning gave me a note to pass to you. She said the content is of great importance to you. I was afraid it might be something serious, so I brought it in," Secretary Wei said.

Fu Ci frowned. "What could a starlet possibly know about my affairs?"

"Then I’ll go out and turn her away," Secretary Wei said.

Just as he was about to turn around, Fu Ci thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, bring the note here and let me see what kind of trick she’s trying to play."

As the president of an entertainment company, there were many women who constantly tried to attract his attention or seduce him, but this was the first time someone had used a note.

Secretary Wei handed over the note. After Fu Ci opened it and read it, his pupils constricted.

"Let her in." He tore the note into pieces and threw it into the trash can.

Secretary Wei was surprised. "Alright!"

Soon, he brought Luo Ning into the office.

Fu Ci looked at Luo Ning, who was wearing no makeup yet still possessed a stunning beauty, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Miss Luo, please sit. What would you like to drink?"

"Tea is fine!" Luo Ning sat down gracefully.

Fu Ci nodded at Secretary Wei, who immediately left to brew the tea.

"Miss Luo, how do you know about my sister?" Fu Ci asked bluntly.

The note he had just received read: "I can help your sister recover."

As for his sister’s condition, let alone outsiders, even within their own circle, very few people knew about it.

Luo Ning looked back at him and said, "I saw it from your physiognomy."

"The ends of your eyebrows are sparse, and there is a break in the middle, which indicates that your siblings are having health issues. And from your physiognomy, I can see that you only have one sister."

Fu Ci raised an eyebrow. "Miss Luo knows how to read faces?"

Luo Ning nodded. "Yes, I am quite proficient in this area."

"Then how do you intend to help my sister recover? Don't tell me you’re also a doctor?" Fu Ci clearly didn't believe her words, thinking this was just a tactic to get his attention.

Luo Ning saw right through his intentions. She took a folded triangular talisman she had drawn from her bag and handed it over.

"Your sister’s condition isn't a normal illness. This is a talisman I drew. You can take it back and let her try it to see if it has any effect."

In her previous life, she had accidentally met Fu Ci’s sister and discovered that the girl was afflicted by yin evil energy, which caused her poor health and frequent accidents.

She had originally wanted to save her, but at that time, her talisman-drawing skills weren't as good as they were now. By the time she had managed to draw one, the girl had already passed away in an accident.

Fu Ci took the talisman Luo Ning handed him and frowned. "You mean to say that by wearing this, my sister will recover?"

After his sister fell ill, they had consulted the best hospitals in the world, and none had found any major issues. Some people had suggested she might be possessed, so the family had invited experts in that field to take a look, but that, too, had ended in nothing.

Could this single talisman really make his sister recover? What a joke.

Luo Ning replied, "It won't be a full recovery, but it will improve her condition."

"Since it’s already the worst-case scenario, why not try it as a last resort?" She could tell Fu Ci didn't believe her.

Fu Ci, who had originally planned to throw the talisman in the trash as soon as Luo Ning left, hesitated. Driven by an inexplicable impulse, he put the talisman into his pocket.

"Fine, I’ll take it back and let her try it." He then added meaningfully, "I hope you aren't playing games just to get my attention. You should know the consequences of offending me."

With just a casual word, he could blacklist Luo Ning from the company.

Luo Ning nodded confidently. "Of course I know, which is why this talisman will definitely work."

"What do you want? Don't tell me you’re just doing a good deed." Fu Ci was somewhat curious about Luo Ning’s motive.
