Out of control and sinking

Chapter 37: One minute to take a photo, half an hour to edit it.
The other dresses were taken into the dressing room by the servants and then left.

Jiang Ruan sat on the sofa, holding the red strapless dress, her eyes sparkling with delight.

I was just worried about not having any material to shoot.

Now we have the material!
A few minutes later, in the dressing room.

A woman wearing a sexy red dress stood in front of a full-length mirror. Under the light, her slender and alluring S-shaped figure was fully revealed, with her shoulder blades protruding.

She looked like a stunning beauty.

The dress was her size perfectly, not a bit off.

No wonder he's the man who shares her bed.

Jiang Ruan smiled, feeling incredibly happy, and picked up her phone to start taking pictures.

Finally, I changed out of the dress and chose what I thought was the best picture to post on Weibo.

Caption: [One minute to take the photo, half an hour to edit it.]

She wasn't wearing makeup, so she didn't show her face.

The photo shows a dress from the neck down.

But it's still incredibly alluring!
The comment section exploded shortly after it was posted.

"Ahhh, my wife is so beautiful, her figure is amazing, I'm going to get a nosebleed, waaaaah..."

"Beautiful! Beautiful!"

"The baby is so beautiful!"

"Whose wife is so beautiful? Oh, she's mine!"

"Our wife has been so active lately, we love you even more!"

"Ahhh, I'm in love, beautiful and hot!"

You are the moon reflected in the water, the star in the sky, the moon in the cup, and the person in my heart!

"It looks amazing! This isn't photoshopped at all; my wife has always had a great figure, no arguments!"

"Looking forward to the new drama airing so much...!"

Jiang Ruan scrolled through the comments and casually replied to a few.

Until she saw this comment.

"You dare post this picture looking like this? Aren't you afraid I'll do a 52800-degree spin, kneel down, hold flowers in my hands, and marry you with a rose in my mouth? My heart and eyes are full of you. I drank eighteen bowls of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), I'm drunk, I screamed! Ah! My wife is so beautiful!"

Jiang Ruan laughed so hard she was rolling around in pain, tears streaming down her face, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

These fan comments are absolutely hilarious.

Finally, Jiang Ruan replied enthusiastically: "I admire you more than anything else!"

Unexpectedly, this led to it trending on social media.

After half an hour.

The top trending topic: [Jiang Ruan's famous quote in response to an enthusiastic fan: "I admire you more than anything else."]

Jiang Ruan found this both amusing and exasperating.

How can such a casual reply get trending on social media, folks!
For the past day or two, it's been like she owns the trending topics.

Sister Qin was overjoyed.

The phone call was full of praise; it was a free trending topic, costing no money, and it went straight to number one on the trending list.

If she's unhappy, who is?

With the trending topic, the new drama's popularity has surged again.

The clips featuring Jiang Ruan and Bai Yi have become incredibly popular!
Some people are happy about this, while others are angry!
In the hotel, Li Xin saw Jiang Ruan trending on social media and, in a fit of anger, smashed up the room.

Why?! Why is Jiang Ruan so popular?!
A simple Weibo post can become a trending topic?

Unwilling to accept defeat, Li Xin went on a rampage before picking up her phone and calling her agent: "I want to buy trending topics! I want to buy marketing!"

Faced with her questioning, the agent remained calm: "Do you have money?"

Four words shattered all of Li Xin's expectations.

The anger vanished instantly, like a fart.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she bit her lip tightly, saying dejectedly, "No."

Where did she get the money?

My uncle and dad just got back from the hospital.

My father's leg was left disabled, and he will never be able to walk normally again.

The villa at home is gone; it was mortgaged.

They still lived in a single-story house in an alleyway.

The Li family now is worlds apart from what it used to be.

"How can you buy trending topics if you don't have money? Do you know how expensive trending topics are these days? How much does marketing cost? You have to bribe people everywhere." The agent sneered.

"What, are you jealous because Jiang Ruan is trending?"

Her agent saw right through her thoughts.

Li Xin said with envy: "Yes, why is it that she, a poor student from a small, run-down county and a graduate of a third-rate university, can climb so high and easily make it onto the trending topics in just a few years?"

"Why do so many people like her?!"

"Everyone must have been fooled by her. Who knows who she's secretly keeping as someone's mistress, getting these resources in exchange for being a sugar daddy..."

Li Xin cursed angrily, her jealousy bordering on madness. Her hair was disheveled as she sat on the floor, the entire room smashed to pieces by her.

He was acting like a madman.

Li Xin was unwilling to accept this.

The changes in the Li family were too much for her to bear, and to this day she still doesn't understand why things suddenly turned out this way.

Li Xin hated the Bo Group and Bo Ye even more for ruining her whole family like this.

She hated them to death.

The agent listened quietly to her venting; having worked with her for so long, he was already used to her temper.

However, things are different now than before.

The agent sneered, "So what? Even if she comes out of the mud, she's still trampling you, Li Xin, under her feet, back into the mud."

"What comparison is there between you and her now?"

Whether it's net worth, resources, or popularity.

In what way can she compare to Jiang Ruan?

Actually, her agent had wanted to give up on her for a long time. In the past, she had no choice but to support her, but now, once she's gone, she's forgotten all about it.

The Li family has fallen from power.

To put it bluntly, she has neither a background nor the ability, and she acts like a crazy spoiled princess every day.

What's the point of him praising her again?

However, the agent had to admit that she still had high hopes for Li Xin.

She's ruthless.

All he has to do now is force her.

They forced her to use every means possible, at any cost, to climb up the ladder.

"Chen Caibin!" Li Xin was furious, shouting his name angrily, her eyes red as she yelled, "Don't compare her to me, she doesn't deserve it, I'm telling you, she doesn't deserve it!"

"Then show us what you've got," the agent said. "You were born a princess, you shouldn't be suppressed by her. Who does she think she is?"

"I have a way to get more resources and turn your life around. Do you want to hear it?"

Hearing this, Li Xin was immediately tempted and said without thinking, "Go ahead."

After hearing everything the agent said, Li Xin turned pale instantly, and she swayed as if about to collapse: "You mean you want me to climb into bed?"

Li Xin uttered the last two words with almost trembling hands.

Even if the other party is a high-level executive.

But she didn't even know what the person opposite her looked like.

Moreover, Li Xin was spoiled since childhood, and none of her boyfriends could tolerate her spoiled princess temperament.

Not to mention sleeping.

Li Xin is still completely unaware of those things.

"You can't say that. If you want something, you have to give something in return. That's fair."

"Think about it, is it more important to yourself, or to trample Jiang Ruan under your feet and to trample under those who are laughing at you?"

"And I guarantee that as long as you go, the trending topics will be yours, the center position on the poster for the new drama's press conference will be yours, and your popularity will not be lower than Jiang Ruan's."

These words were nothing short of the greatest temptation for Li Xin at that moment.

Li Xin was secretly itching to make a move, and was still putting up a final struggle.

Knowing full well that there is an abyss ahead, stepping in might mean never coming out again.

But she had no other choice.

Rather than being suppressed like this.

Li Xin gritted her teeth and decided to give it a shot.

So Li Xin said, "Okay, I'll do as you say, I'll go!"

Her agreement was exactly what Chen Caibin expected.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Caibin looked at his phone with a mocking smile on his lips.

"Li Xin, Li Xin, you'd never guess who came up with this idea, would you?"

not him.

That person, even he himself didn't expect it.

Sure enough, the cold-bloodedness between people is revealed in desperate situations, even among family members.

Since he doesn't care about pushing Li Xin into a fire pit, what is he afraid of?

—

Jiang Ruan lay at home for two whole days.

Eat, sleep, sleep, eat; during the day, practice Prada and watch TV; at night, with some man... cough cough cough...

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, which was also the last day of the holiday that Sister Qin had given her, she couldn't stay still any longer.

It's a holiday, after all; how can I not go out and have some fun for a day?

Just then, her best friend Lu Jie bombarded her with phone calls.
