Chapter 106 - Use Me As You Please (6)
The next day, Ling Tianya was still deep in slumber when she was rudely woken up by Zhang Ke’s demonous screaming.
“Miss Ling! Wake up! Something huge happened!” The moment Zhang Ke entered Ling Tianya’s apartment, she bee-lined towards Ling Tianya’s bedroom, screaming Ling Tianya awake when she saw she was still asleep.
Ling Tianya exasperatedly flipped open her covers, “Zhang Ke! I’ll change the passcode!”
Zhang Ke was stunned, she knew that her teacher was angry because she woke her up, but the situation was so severe that she had no other choice!
“Miss Ling, you can get mad at me later! We’re in trouble!”
Ling Tianya grasped at her hair tiredly, “What trouble? The world’s ending?”
Zhang Ke fished out her computer, clicking open a forum link, “Look, Miss Ling, this is a forum thread that was posted last night, and it’s already gotten hundreds of thousands of views since this morning!”
“What thread?” Ling Tianya squinted at the computer.
[Acclaimed Returnee Screenwriter TY is a Phony, Climbed The Ranks With Her Looks, Most of Her Works Copied or Ghostwritten!]
Seeing such a post, Ling Tianya’s brows pinched together. Zhang Ke knew that Ling Tianya had looked, and she started to calm.
Strangely, Ling Tianya rolled her eyes, closing the laptop with a slam, “You woke me up this early in the morning for such a minor thing?”
Zhang Ke stared incredulously at her, tongue-tied.
“Miss Ling, is this not a serious issue? Miss Ling, where’s your heart?” Zhang Ke thought.
Ling Tianya was completely awake thanks to Zhang Ke, she stretched herself out before getting out of bed, “Those forums are easily debunkable, I haven’t done any of it, so why should I care about what it writes? It’s not a bad thing, we can create some buzz for the drama as well.”
“Miss Ling… Aren’t you afraid of those ignorant netizens really believing the forum and slandering your name? It’s not like you don’t know how powerful the netizens are in China.”
Ling Tianya chuckled, “How powerful? Could they kill me?”
Zhang Ke shook her head, disheartened, “But Miss Ling, why would such a forum show up overnight out of nowhere? There’s no lack of keyboard warriors scolding you in the thread!”
Ling Tianya walked into the bathroom, talking as she squeezed out her toothpaste, “Haha, to use such a sordid method, it must be a sordid person behind it.”
The speed of the internet was shocking, when Ling Tianya came to the set, everyone’s eyes on her were becoming annoying. They greeted her as per normal face-to-face, and then turned to murmur amongst themselves.
Ling Tianya walked past so calmly and confidently, as though she hadn’t seen any of it at all.
Zhang Heng walked over, patting Ling Tianya’s shoulder, “Miss Ling, don’t mind the mess of comments on the internet, your capabilities are clear to all of us here.” The past few days Ling Tianya had been editing the scripts all throughout the hours, everyone knew and was aware of that.
Even if people had witnessed it with their very own eyes, some people still had an odd sense of curiosity guessing whether what was written on the forum was true. After all, Ling Tianya did get the title the Golden Screenwriter at her young age, and yet that was something impossible in China.
Ling Tianya nodded, her mood seemingly not affected, not even a tiny little bit, “Don’t worry Mr. Zhang, I’m fine.”
Right then, Ling Yuqing affectionately cradled Guan Meiyi as they both walked in, the smiles on their face gentle and amiable.
“Ah, Sis, you’re here!”
Ling Tianya raised a brow, she didn’t expect Ling Yuqing to be there so early.
Ling Yuqing had certainly learned her lesson, she was wearing light clothes that day, but it didn’t hide the fact that she was still decked out from head to toe in luxury brands. She looked at Ling Tianya, her smile as soft as cotton, “Tianya, I saw the thread online, don’t be sad, everything will pass.”
Ling Yuqing’s words could easily cause a misunderstanding. She didn’t phrase it like Zhang Heng. She believed Ling Tianya, and instead asked her to not be sad, and said that it would pass. That was clearly misdirecting other people to think that whatever was on the forum was true.
Ling Tianya didn’t want to bother with her, “What do I have to be sad about?”
Ling Yuqing covered her mouth as she smiled, “It’s good that you think that way! Oh, right, I guess you don’t know yet!” Ling Yuqing’s eyes were dripping with charm as she looked at Guan Meiyi, “Tonight’s Yuan Teng Corporation’s annual dinner, Daddy will bring me and Mummy to attend it. Huge news will be announced at the dinner, and that’s Meiyi and Mr. Ruan’s engagement!”
