Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 57 I've Broken Down!
Meng Bai's prediction was correct.

Bu Jie really didn't intend to do something bad halfway through.

She was just busy, but now that she's done, she naturally starts paying attention to Su Xintang's latest updates.

To be honest, her purpose in causing trouble was not to restrict Su Xintang from starting a business.

She knew perfectly well that she couldn't do that. With Su Xintang's looks and skills, gaining popularity was inevitable. She wasn't the owner of Douyin; she didn't have that kind of ability.

Therefore, her real goal was to force Su Xintang and Meng Bai to break up.

Those outside this industry might not understand this logic.

For internet celebrities like Su Xintang, who didn't debut as couple bloggers, dating in private is perfectly fine. But once they go public with their relationship, that's when problems begin.

Especially their seemingly "strong woman, weak man" pairing is bound to be criticized by a bunch of idle netizens.

At that time, various comments surrounding the core theme of "Meng Bai is not worthy of Su Xintang" will appear under every video, repeatedly and endlessly.

In Bu Jie and Gu Jiang's opinion, Meng Bai finding Su Xintang was a stroke of luck, and his possessiveness and self-esteem must be particularly strong. In other words, Meng Bai absolutely cannot stand these comments.

In addition, there will definitely be wealthy men sending private messages to Su Xintang to instigate her further.

It was only a matter of time before Meng Bai was dumped by Su Xintang.

Just thinking about how Meng Bai was so vulnerable after being dumped made Gu Jiang feel like she had a brain orgasm.

She simply couldn't accept that Meng Bai, whom she considered a "loser" and a "simp," had found such a beautiful girlfriend, who was probably also very rich. She recognized the dress Meng Bai was wearing that day; it cost several thousand yuan!
What makes Meng Bai so special about this rich, beautiful, and successful woman?
Inside the office, the two looked at the pinned comment in the [Su Xintang] comment section and began to discuss it.

Bu Jie said, "Look at what she clarified. She said, 'I know that boy,' instead of 'He's my boyfriend.' It seems she doesn't want to admit that Meng Bai is her boyfriend."

"Nonsense, it would be so embarrassing to admit it. Meng Bai is utterly incompetent. I wouldn't admit it either. Maybe Su Xintang never includes any of Meng Bai's photos in her WeChat Moments," Gu Jiang sarcastically chimed in.

"Hey, she's from Taiwan?" Bu Jie suddenly noticed the IP address.

"No wonder she chose Meng Bai as her boyfriend; it must have been an online relationship. So, their argument on the subway last time was because Meng Bai was a disappointment in person, and Su Xintang felt deceived?"

"Damn it, you're like Sherlock Holmes!" Bu Jie laughed, thinking that what Mushroom Sauce said made perfect sense.

"Quickly find an online troll to ask her if Meng Bai is her boyfriend. She definitely won't admit it."

"Then, let's post the photos we secretly took of them holding hands, hahaha, perfect evidence!" Bu Jie became excited, all the fatigue of the day vanished.

People don't feel tired when they're doing bad things.

About half an hour later, many more comments appeared under Su Xintang's pinned comment.

Whether you know them or not, don't be afraid; if you've been secretly filmed, dare to defend your rights.

[Let's call it a day. That guy was actually her boyfriend. I ran into them on the street. —IP: Guangdong]

【How can it be? 】

[Master Packer, Master Packer, is he really your boyfriend?]

【That's a ridiculous question. If she's trying to build an account, would she admit to having a boyfriend? If she did, how would she make money off her admirers?】

[Nonsense, wouldn't it be even better if you had a boyfriend? (doge)]

Looking at these comments, Meng Bai understood that besides the paid commenters, Bu Jie's side must have also given the video some views, though it certainly didn't cost much.

However, it also attracted new users to leave comments, making the comment section a bit more lively.

If they were all paid trolls, they wouldn't be able to post such a diverse range of comments.

Similarly, because of the incense offerings, Meng Bai clearly felt that the previously intermittent incense smoke had increased significantly.

Thinking of this, Meng Bai laughed. He called Su Xintang and said, "Don't reply yet. Delay it for a while. If you don't reply, they'll be the ones who get anxious."

To put pressure on you through public opinion, she'll definitely continue to manipulate public opinion and stir up trouble. The more she does, the higher her sunk costs become, making it harder for her to stop, and she'll only feel like she's recouped her investment once she achieves her goal. "You don't need to explain so much to me, I'll just listen to you," Su Xintang replied.

"I need to explain. In about twenty days, you will be entering the Precious Edict Realm. My identity is special, so I may not be able to enter. You should learn more hype techniques; it won't do you any harm."

“That’s true.” Su Xintang chuckled and added, “Then you should tell me more about it in the future.”

"Oh right, let's just update another video of your daily life in Taiwan in a few hours. They'll see that they can't get any buzz in the comments section of the old video, so they'll definitely go back to the comments section of the new video to do it."

"Wouldn't that help us increase our popularity?"

“Definitely.” Meng Bai laughed and added, “I’ll go and provoke them again.”

After saying that, the two hung up the phone.

Meng Bai found Bu Jie's phone number and prepared to call her.

To be honest, although Meng Bai and Ning Meng both suspected that Bu Jie was behind it, there was no concrete evidence to prove it.

Therefore, he made this call for two reasons. First, he pretended to be vulnerable, giving Bu Jie a sense of pleasure, which would stimulate her to continue her enthusiasm for receiving fluids.

Secondly, it was also a consideration. If it wasn't Bu Jie causing trouble, then making this call to Bu Jie would just be a reminder that she could cause trouble in the comments section.
To put it bluntly, what Meng Bai wanted was this account's last wave of traffic.

The phone rang for a while before it was finally answered.

As soon as the call connected, Meng Bai pretended to break down and angrily said, "Bu Jie, did you hire someone to stir up trouble in the comments section of [Su Xin Tang]? Are you sick in the head?"

When Bu Jie, who was leaning back in her boss's chair, heard this, she almost burst out laughing.

She covered the phone's receiver and whispered to Mushroom Sauce beside her, "It's Meng Bai calling. He's already broken down."

"Serves you right!" Mushroom Sauce immediately laughed.

Then, Bu Jie removed her hand, feigning innocence, and said, "What comments section? What stirring up trouble? I don't understand."

"Stop pretending, okay? I'm really fed up. I just resigned, and that was a normal resignation. Did that offend you? Why are you throwing mud at me like this?" Meng Bai had already started blaming others.

Next, he plans to pin all the negative aspects of Su Xintang on Bu Jie, preparing for the potential public opinion risks of old grievances being brought up again.

Bu Jie wasn't stupid, and she flatly denied it, saying, "I don't understand what you're saying."

"If you're so capable, keep stirring things up. I don't believe it! Damn it!" Meng Bai said and hung up the phone.

Looking at their phones with the screen off, Gu Jiang and Bu Jie exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.

Cool!
Finally, we see that bastard Meng Bai break through his defenses!
On the other side, someone else was shouting, "Awesome!"

This person is Ning Meng.

Nearly three hours had passed since she got home, and the lotus root ointment that had been applied all over her body had been washed off.

At this moment, she stood naked in front of the mirror in the bedroom walk-in closet, looking at herself from the left and right, becoming happier and happier with each glance.

The effects of lotus root paste are truly remarkable.

Although it didn't instantly transform Ning Meng into someone with milky, fair skin, her skin condition has definitely improved a lot. In particular, acne, pimples, and bruises have all disappeared.

Jade lotus root ointment is, after all, a medicine. Whitening is secondary; its core function is to heal wounds, detoxify, and rejuvenate.

She got dressed, pushed open the door, and went out.

She planned to go and see how the treatment was going for her mother, as the mother and daughter had already finished the whole jar.

But as soon as she stepped outside, Ning Le, who was sitting on the sofa, saw her and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "Hey, Asuan, did you spray white paint?"
