Chapter 359: Xie Zhiyun Thoroughly Blacklisted, Entertainment Circle Finds No Record of Her
The village head nodded, fully agreeing with Lin Meng's words.
He encouraged his own grandson, saying:
"Xiao Fan, Grandpa believes you can do it; starting from scratch to learn is not too late, and later you can also consider applying for graduate school to further your studies."
Zhang Yufan nodded, looking serious.
"Grandpa, Lin Meng, I will study hard and not disappoint you!"
Lin Meng smiled and said:
"Also don't put too much pressure on yourself; keep a calm mind."
After Lin Meng finished speaking, she again took out two pills from her pocket and handed them over.
"These are pills I recently obtained in Jing Shi; this Nourishing Origin Pill is for you, and the other, darker-colored one is for you, Village Head, called Jade Marrow Pill."
"Both pills have excellent nourishing effects; I have extra, and the benefit of taking more diminishes, so I'm giving them to you grandfather and grandson—please don't refuse."
The village head and Zhang Yufan were about to refuse, but seeing Lin Meng already toss the pills down, she turned and walked out without another word.
"You must eat them, don't waste them; I'll leave now, and come back to see you next time."
Having said that, she had already vanished from sight.
Zhang Yufan chased after her as quickly as he could, but still didn't see Lin Meng's figure, so he had to turn back.
"Grandpa, Lin Meng ran too fast; I couldn't catch up."
The village head knew Lin Meng was capable and wouldn't give them pills for no reason; this pill must be as she said, with good effect.
In the past, to him pills were just like health supplements—products with more hype than effect, often priced especially high.
The village head had hardly taken any medicine in his life, let alone pills.
But the pills given by Lin Meng, he naturally believed without doubt, and immediately said to Zhang Yufan:
"Go ahead and eat; this is Little Girl Lin's kind intention, I've heard that some pills really have remarkable effects,"
Zhang Yufan also without hesitation picked up his own pill and swallowed it with water.
After the grandfather and grandson finished taking the pills, they prepared to continue helping the elderly plant seedlings.
Who would have thought that before they even left the workshop, their bodies began to change.
The first to feel the abnormality was naturally the older village head.
He was, after all, old; his legs often felt as heavy as lead when walking, requiring small steps to stay steady, otherwise he would easily sway and fall.
But at that moment, the village head discovered his two legs suddenly had strength, his steps feeling light.
He stopped in disbelief, moved his upper body a bit, and found his overall spirit condition exceptionally good; the feeling of weakness that comes with age had vanished, and now he could even do push-ups in place!
Zhang Yufan's feeling wasn't as strong as the village head's, but he also felt his body become much lighter, his breathing smoother, his spirit full, as if he had intentionally rested and replenished his energy.
"Grandpa, why do I feel my body reacting? I feel my spirit is a hundred times more vigorous, full of vigor—could it be a psychological effect?"
Upon hearing this, the village head's old eyes flashed, realizing this must be the effect of the pills Lin Meng gave.
Although he alone feeling this might be coincidental, but since Zhang Yufan also feels it, there can only be one reason: those pills are not ordinary.
The grandfather and grandson glanced at each other, both feeling shocked.
The village head immediately lowered his voice and said to Zhang Yufan:
"Xiao Fan, remember this: you must always repay Lin Meng's kindness; as for the matter of these pills, as long as Lin Meng doesn't voluntarily speak of it, we must not utter a word outside, keep it buried in our stomachs, take it to the grave!"
Zhang Yufan rarely saw his grandfather speak with such solemn tone; hearing this, he immediately nodded.
"Grandpa, rest assured, I know this; I will definitely not speak carelessly and harm Lin Meng."
"..."
Returning to Jing Shi, Lin Meng simply rested for a day and then planned to go to the Strange World to retrieve the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl.
Before setting out, she deliberately browsed her phone for a while, wanting to see online updates about Xie Zhiyun, only to find that Xie Zhiyun had actually been completely blacklisted.
Not only major media, but even some official microblog accounts had very few posts discussing Xie Zhiyun.
This person seemed to have overnight become an ordinary passerby, unnoticed by anyone.
For a traffic star like Xie Zhiyun, traffic is what matters most to them; whether positive or negative news, as long as there is heat, a reputation reversal is possible.
But now, Xie Zhiyun has completely vanished from the internet, with zero discussion, utterly ruined.
Seeing this, Lin Meng couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, thinking to herself just who had the power to do this—another one thoroughly blacklisted.
Meanwhile, the entertainment company Xie Zhiyun belonged to had already expelled her, and the several assistants she had bullied badly could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Xie Zhiyun tried to beg for mercy, but her agent harshly slapped her down.
"Xie Zhiyun, blame only your usual arrogance; you've offended too many people, this time you've kicked an iron plate—you know you've offended someone you shouldn't have?"
"You'd better leave quickly; in this situation no one can help you, this is scarier than being shelved."
"Being shelved is only temporary, but being blacklisted means completely erased from records,"
Xie Zhiyun's heart was as dead ashes; she knew it was because of Lin Meng, and the one who blacklisted her must be Ye Chenjing.
That little thought in her heart she no longer dared to entertain; her dream of becoming Ye's wife ultimately came to nothing.
Xie Zhiyun had realized she was disliked by Ye Chenjing, with no room for maneuver in his presence.
Now the only person who could lift her blacklisted status is Lin Meng!
Should she go beg her?
But going to beg her would mean losing all dignity before her, unable to hold her head up.
At this moment, Xie Zhiyun's mind kept flashing with Lin Meng's gorgeous face; in a fit of rage, she fiercely smashed the nearby vase onto the ground.
"To hell with Lin Meng! You forced me, you forced me!"
She would never bow her head to Lin Meng!
Xie Zhiyun simply couldn't understand, truly couldn't understand, aside from Lin Meng's unique temperament and pretty looks, wherein exactly lay her strength?
In terms of status, a woman from the countryside, who knows by what means she suddenly struck it rich, even planting her roots in Jing Shi's wealthy district.
As for social value, Xie Zhiyun considers herself an artist; at least she brings entertainment to the audience.
But Lin Meng? I've never seen her have any proper business; she claims to be cooperating with Ye Chenjing, yet what kind of partner does the Ye Family lack? Would they do business with a penniless rural girl?
Suddenly, a thought popped into Xie Zhiyun's mind.
Could it be that Lin Meng is Ye Chenjing's secret contract lover?
All those business dealings and cooperation are fake; the only way they truly have a conflict of interest that Xie Zhiyun can think of is this.
After all, in her view, Lin Meng's entire body has only that face and her body that are of any value……
