Entertainment News: I'm Not a Scumbag After Rebirth!

Chapter 2: Taking Down Zhang Liangying?

With the end of the "My Show" program, no one expected that Jane Zhang would be eliminated from the stage.

She is secretly sobbing here, which breaks Li Jun's heart.

But before he could feel the pain, he made sure Zhang Liangying didn't see the money on the ground, and then quietly picked it up and stuffed it into his pocket.

These are all assets for showing off later.

"I'm willing to listen to your pain from your original competition; I want to help you heal your heartache."

Li Jun leaned against the door frame, extending a hand towards the sobbing Zhang Liangying.

To be honest, Li Jun is not ugly; on the contrary, he is very handsome.

After all, they are art students, so there are certain requirements regarding their appearance.

He managed to make a simple white shirt and jeans look like a celebrity.

In his past life, he rose from a small-time internet celebrity to create his own internet celebrity company, where the internet celebrities under his management were more capable of making money than even the stars.

Zhang Liangying raised her crying head, glanced at Li Jun, then silently turned her back and continued to sob.

"You only lost because of your appearance."

Li Jun's words struck a chord with Zhang Liangying. She knew she didn't know anyone, had no money, and even though she thought she looked great, why did she keep failing?

Zhang Liangying's tight jeans and striped fitted top are an outfit that would make anyone dizzy.

Her fashion sense is very limited; she only looks at the upper or lower body and doesn't care about the overall coordination.

Li Jun, who was an internet celebrity in his previous life, had a sharp eye and could spot her problems at a glance.

As expected, Zhang Liangying stopped sobbing and looked at Li Jun with teary eyes.

"I only need one step to change you."

As Li Jun spoke, he took off his own glasses and put them on Zhang Liangying's face.

He then raised his hands, gesturing for Zhang Liangying to look up at herself in the mirror.

Zhang Liangying raised her head with some doubt, stretched her numb legs, and looked at herself in the mirror.

You won't be surprised if you don't look, because once you do, you'll be shocked.

The person in the mirror has changed a lot, transforming from a naive young woman into someone with a somewhat alluring and sensual air.

"Move your glasses down a bit below the bridge of your nose."

Li Jun reminded her.

Zhang Liangying obediently moved her glasses, gradually revealing her beautiful eyes, and her alluring aura became even more pronounced.

The expression on her face changed from shock to conviction.

The change is so dramatic, it's like a miracle.

A simple pair of glasses could change her aura; she now believed that Li Jun had the ability to change her.

Then, she looked at Li Jun in front of her with a fiery yet hesitant gaze.

She knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and that whatever she wanted to gain, she would inevitably lose something in return.

......

In the music room, Feng Ke and the waiter with the side-swept bangs were politely deferring their wine glasses to each other.

"I'm not drinking anymore, I'm not drinking anymore, I dropped my money, I need to go find some."

Feng Ke said impatiently, "Since just now, this waiter has been intentionally or unintentionally touching my hand and even wanted to drink a toast with me."

How could a grown man like me stand this? I was originally planning to wait for Li Jun to come back and get rid of him as soon as possible, but who knew that Li Jun wouldn't come out for so long.

He urged him several times, but Li Jun didn't reply.

Will they cancel the order?

Feng Ke looked at the waiter with the side-swept bangs in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"The boss just said that you have this habit too, Boss Feng."

The waiter with the side-swept bangs, looking drunk, spoke to Feng Ke and even put his arm around Feng Ke's neck.

Feng Ke's pupils suddenly contracted, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

"I happen to have a bit of that too..."

Before Feng Ke could react, the waiter with the side-swept bangs was about to kiss him.

......

"Brother Jun, does it really have beauty benefits?"

"Yes, just stick it on your face like that."

Zhang Liangying hesitated as Li Jun wet her hair, twisted out two thin strands of hair that hung down gracefully.

Li Jun is focused on changing her hairstyle. He has so many ideas, and he's just making a slight modification using the available resources.

"Okay, look in the mirror."

Zhang Liangying obediently raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror.

Zhang Liangying's cherry-like mouth was wide open in the mirror, as if she could fit an apple in it. She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was herself.

"Is this me?!"

Zhang Liangying's surprise was hard to hide and was immediately apparent, but her mood quickly sombered. Li Jun was very skilled, but Zhang Liangying didn't have the money to hire him to do her makeup and styling.

Looking at Zhang Liangying's expression, Li Jun silently nodded in agreement; all of this was within his expectations.

He didn't rush to take Zhang Liangying away at first, but instead used enough temptations to let her win him over.

"But I have no money."

"It's easy to not have money, don't you have other things?"

Li Jun deliberately glanced at Zhang Liangying's curvaceous figure, which made her blush.

"This...not now..." Zhang Liangying said pitifully, clearly not mentally prepared.

Li Jun's expression grew increasingly sinister as he approached Zhang Liangying. Forced into a corner and unable to move, she watched in panic as Li Jun drew closer.

He suddenly stopped, and Zhang Liangying closed her eyes in despair.

"Open your eyes! What are you doing with your mouth open?"

Li Jun asked provocatively, casually pulling out several thousand yuan from his pocket.

"I don't need your money."

Zhang Liangying looked up and saw Li Jun disdainfully pull out a handful of red banknotes. Someone who could carry so much money on him certainly wouldn't be interested in her paltry sum.

"Waiter, did any of you see five thousand yuan lying here?"

As luck would have it, Feng Ke's cursing voice could be heard just outside the restroom.

Feng Ke actually came over, and Li Jun, who was holding the five thousand, suddenly froze and naturally put it back into his pocket.

"Even without a boss, we clean this place regularly."

The waiter responded mechanically.

"That's strange, I didn't go anywhere."

Feng Ke's cursing voice gradually faded into the distance.

As his voice faded, Li Jun's stiff body returned to normal. He coughed softly, gesturing for Zhang Liangying to leave the bar with him.

"By the way, Liangying, is there a back door here? Several celebrities have been begging me to do their makeup and styling lately, but I refused them all. I only chose you."

Li Jun boasts without thinking, but he does have the ability to do so, after all, his aesthetic level is twenty years ahead of its time.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Jun. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Who knew that Zhang Liangying actually took these words seriously and didn't realize that Li Jun was manipulating her.

This surprised Li Jun, who couldn't help but smile wryly. No wonder he was famously love-obsessed in his previous life.

The two secretly slipped out of the Music House bar. Li Jun was trying to avoid Feng Ke, so he was as cautious as possible to minimize any potential conflict.

He wouldn't answer Feng Ke's calls, pretending to be drunk and pass out, which would make it seem more real.

However, after they were released, Zhang Liangying and Li Jun faced a fatal problem: where to go now?

Li Jun is a college student working part-time. He has nowhere to stay outside and can only go back to school. He just met Zhang Liangying, so he naturally wants to strike while the iron is hot and get to know her better. It's not appropriate to go back now.

After much deliberation, the two decided to stay at Zhang Liangying's rented apartment, which would also be a good opportunity for Li Jun to reform Zhang Liangying.

Moonlight spilled onto the street, and two people walking on the road passed by in the gentle moonlight.

"Jun-ge, I'm actually very sad."

With a gloomy face, Zhang Liangying said that after leaving the exciting bar, the loneliness of the late night, the sense of failure of "My Style, My Show", and countless other emotions surged into her heart.

"Was I eliminated from the 'My Style, My Show' competition?"

Li Jun knew exactly what she was thinking.

Zhang Liangying actually appeared on television quite early, but she only participated in some programs with relatively low influence, and had few fans. She has always been in a lukewarm state, barely making it big.

"Yes, it was during the round of 80 to 8. I didn't expect to be eliminated so early. I thought I wasn't cut out for this."

Li Jun paused for a moment. He wanted to pat Zhang Liangying on the shoulder to comfort her, saying that "I didn't do anything wrong with 'My Style, My Show,' it's just that you're dressed too much like a 'Shamate,' just a 'Shamate' within the 'Shamate' era."

But then I thought that this was too much of a blow to her, and as her future manager, I naturally had to comfort her.

"Yeah, this is a gamble for me too. You know, these kinds of big talent shows only happen once a year, and I'm betting everything on you."

The words of comfort naturally turned into psychological manipulation in Li Jun's mouth, and the key point is that he did it with a straight face and thick skin.

"You think so too, Jun-ge...?"

Zhang Liangying was clearly more upset by what was said, her head slightly lowered, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing that the time was right, Li Jun quickly hugged her and earnestly comforted her.

"It's okay, I'll dress up nicely for this Super Girl competition and I'm sure I can win the championship."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liangying stood frozen in place, then abruptly raised her head. The moonlight shone directly on her face, making her face appear exceptionally crystalline through the hot tears streaming down her cheeks.

Please don't leave me.

Zhang Liangying looked pitiful and choked up as she spoke to Li Jun.

Li Jun stood there stunned. This shouldn't be happening. He had plenty of experience picking up girls in his past life, and this scene was clearly beyond his expectations. Shouldn't Zhang Liangying be feeling down and working hard while he quietly counted money behind the scenes?

But Li Jun still reached out his hand and made a pinky promise with Zhang Liangying.

"Pinky promise, pinky promise."

Zhang Liangying's constantly flowing tears suddenly stopped, and a sly smile flashed across her face.

Li Jun realized that Zhang Liangying wasn't as simple as he thought.

"You promised me, right?"

Zhang Liangying smiled happily as she looked at his face, but the next moment her expression suddenly turned tense.

"Watch out! Jun-ge."

A person completely covered up seemed to be walking straight towards Li Jun from behind, crashing into him without even looking where they were going.

He heard Zhang Liangying's voice, but before he could react, he was struck squarely.

Fortunately, it was a woman who bumped into him. The woman, who was bundled up, only had her head covering loosened a bit from the impact, and neither of them was seriously injured.

"Aren't you watching where you're going?!"

Li Jun cursed, "I never thought there would be people so blind in this day and age."

The woman hurriedly tugged at her makeup, and happened to make eye contact with Li Jun.

"Tang Yan?"
