Chapter 14 – Tearing White Lotus

After that, many agency companies sent invitations to Xia Teng.

After all, Xia Teng was good-looking, skilled in acting, and young. Furthermore, after reading her Weibo posts, people found that her social skill was pretty good. Towards a person like this, everyone could see her potential to become very popular.

After receiving these direct messages, Xia Teng didn’t tell Xu Lang but replied in a unified manner, “Thank you for your kindness, but there are still sixty-five days before the college entrance examination. I don’t have any time to deal with this matter for the time being. Looking forward to future cooperation.”

Meanwhile, the people in the class started to look at Xia Teng—the more they looked, the more they liked her.

Although the movie that featured Xia Teng did not have a high box office, it had a good reputation thanks to the fact that all the recent releases were bad movies.

Some people in the class also went to watch this movie. At first, they thought that the actress just had the same name as Xia Teng, but after following Xia Teng on Weibo, they found out that it was really Xia Teng.

Of course, this kind of thing would be shared among friends, so the whole class soon knew about it.

For the youngsters, it was a common like or dislike someone—but most people would not really care about other people.

Before, everyone didn’t like the fat and stupid-looking Xia Teng, but it wasn’t to the level of deep hatred.

Now Xia Teng not only had lost weight and looked good in any clothes, but she also did not act differently towards the boys in the class. All she did everyday was quietly study, study, and study…

Naturally, she attracted many favorable impressions.

When Xia Teng’s scores came out, basically everyone was stunned to see her good grades.

Then people started to recall something—when Xia Teng entered high school, she seemed to enter through special means. She was ranked first at that time.

Later…

Everyone seemed to remember the matter of Xia Teng being jeered at by everyone.

Xia Teng didn’t have time to study, often taking time off to work part-time and so on.

At that time, this was used as a point to mock her, but now, everyone couldn’t help but admire Xia Teng.

Everyone knew that Xia Teng was in the bottom of the list during previous semester’s third year high school, but now she had joined the top three of the class.

Excellent people, especially those who climb up little by little relying on their diligence, could easily make people admire them.

Because such things could give people more positive energy as opposed to innate talent.

Therefore, students often came to ask Xia Teng on studying tips and so on.

Xia Teng also didn’t keep any secrets. She would tell them how she studied, and she would also lend her notes out.

It was precisely for this reason that everyone liked her more.

On Weibo, there would be classmates saying that Xia Teng had a good character and good grades.

Of course, no one mentioned anything about Xia Teng’s previous matter.

The world was exactly like this—if you succeed, what you did before will be presented under a better light.

Xu Lang looked at Xia Teng who was getting happier and smiling more and more every day, and he inexplicably thought it was very good.

At this time, Xu Lang’s cell phone rang. Listening to the report from the other side, Xu Lang was not nervous—what he planned for finally came.

In the entertainment industry, the most fearful thing was to offend a famous star when they were just a no-name celebrity.

Because as long as the fans open their mouths, it would be enough to make yourself covered with black spots from head to toe.

[*Black spots/sunspots: shameful things or unseen things. So I guess your dirty laundry will get aired out, or basically you will get unpopular and fall out from the entertainment circle really quickly.]

Mo Yan’s fans had been furious recently. The movie starring their goddess finally scored eight points on Douban, but all the navies praised that female-number-three.

[*Douban: like IMDb]

[*Navies: people employed to post message on Internet]

[*female-number-three: the third female supporting character role]

If the other party was really an experienced artist, they wouldn’t care, but the other party was an eighteen-year-old girl.

It’s obviously a matter of character setup. That female-number-three character can be performed by anyone and it would still achieve the same effect, okay?

Their goddess worked so hard, she didn’t even use a stand-in in the drama, but in the end she was trampled so badly.

They were originally indignant, but then another news broke out—during the shooting process, the female-number-three was acting like a bigshot, causing their goddess to be put on the spot.

Their idol that they loved dearly was bullied and used as a stepping stone by some little no-name celebrity. If they didn’t give a ‘five-star positive comments’, this matter would not be settled!

As a result, the comment section under Xia Teng’s Weibo posts that were originally harmonious began to change.

[ Plastic surgery face! ]

[ Already third year in high school and still busy showing off. Bah, I’m just saying, you are already in the final year, yet haven’t studied hard enough. Be careful that you won’t even be able to enter a vocational college! ]

[ Just because you are young doesn’t mean you get to be rude! ]

[ **** ]

There were plenty other insults, all of which were unpleasant to hear.

Xu Lang looked at the comments on her Weibo page. Today he confiscated Xia Teng’s mobile phone on the grounds that Xia Teng needed to study well.

Xu Lang smiled slightly and started deleting the post one by one.

Soon they were all deleted.

After it was deleted, there was no new post.

Those fans originally scolded with gusto and righteousness, only to have the posts deleted.

So they simply scolded Xia Teng until it became a hot topic.

Although Xia Teng didn’t have many fans, the ones that were could be said as diehard fans. Aside from being good-looking and young, all of them would look after Xia Teng’s one-post-a-day during this time period, making them feel like they had met her in person.

Moreover, the other side insulted a senior high school student like this before the college entrance examination. After the passers-by learned about the situation, they couldn’t bear it any longer.

The two sides fought.

Because of the fight between the two groups, the hot search on Weibo suddenly reached the top three.

#Xia Teng has no manners# This topic was hung high in the list.

Of course, there were still many people who hadn’t seen the movie yet, so they absolutely had no idea who Xia Teng was.

After they clicked in, they saw the insult battle between the two sides.

They were confused, turns out it was just a no-name celebrity gaining hype from a big celebrity.

Then they saw Mo Yan posted a Weibo.

[ Actress Mo Yan (V): I’m sorry, I just logged in to Weibo and found that someone had turned up the incident. Young lady Xia Teng is still young, so there is no need to criticize her so harshly. In any case, jiayou on the college entrance examination. ]

[*jiayou: fighting!, work hard, good luck, come on, lit. add oil.]

As soon as this Weibo came out, many passers-by who didn’t know the truth stood by Mo Yan, thinking that Mo Yan was really good-natured. After being bullied by a newcomer and being used as a means to gain hype, she still came out to help the other side.

Just when the topic had gained a new height of heat.

Suddenly, someone appeared claiming to be an insider of the crew, saying that they couldn’t stand seeing Mo Yan—a big star—treating a high school student this way.

[ When I was in the crew, the one who acted like a bigshot was Mo Yan. She would stop acting at the drop of a hat, and the director couldn’t do anything about her because she was appointed by the investors. Moreover, every time the two had a scene together, she purposefully played tricks on Xia Teng. Xia Teng has a good temper and did not get angry.

In the kneeling scene where you guys cried the most, Xia Teng had NG-ed seven or eight times because of Mo Yan. In the end, the director had no choice but to scold Xia Teng to satisfy Mo Yan, then the scene finally ended with a pass.

I know you guys will say that I am talking nonsense, so I’m posting a video. I didn’t have any plan to say this, the circle has always been like this. But Mo Yan is really too much. It’s one thing to incite the fans before Xia Teng’s college entrance examination to scold her, but she actually came in person to act like a white lotus, who in this world could accept it! <video> ]

The author has something to say:

Xu Lang had been waiting here for Mo Yan for a long time.

Actually in the raw, each sentence is each paragraph and there were a lot more commas, but I took the liberty to rephrase it in English, causing it to not really fit in one sentence~

Another note, is the font too big? I really couldn’t figure out how to set the default font type and size for this theme… maybe someday I will get enlightenment in the dao of wordpress…
