Chapter 75: Fighting Poison with Poison

~15 min read 2,891 words

"I really don't know this song," Lin Sui said truthfully.

One could tell from her usual taste in music; it was either retro or abstract, and she rarely dabbled in proper, mainstream love songs.

LV47 Lin Dan Da: "I've heard it! I know it, I'll sing it for you later when I go take a shower! @A Fu Wan Ren Ai"

LV52 A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "No need."

LV47 Lin Dan Da: "Don't be polite, we're all brothers. When it comes to singing, no one can beat me when I'm in the shower."

LV52 A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "No."

LV47 Lin Dan Da: "Do you want to hear it now, then?"

LV52 A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "No!"

What was being sung next door was no longer important; A Fu's top priority was to shake off this confident guy, Lin Dan Da.

The public chat was filled with laughter.

Fadai had been singing for a long time without seeing many people come to her side, and Lin Sui waited for her to finish without any impatience.

She was already starting to doubt her own singing ability.

This was the song she was best at; it shouldn't be that unpleasant to listen to, right?

The song ended.

Fadai said politely, "I've taken up your time."

Lin Sui smiled, "It was very pleasant to listen to."

【LV52 A Fu Wan Ren Ai gifted the Live Streamer Carnival*1】

【LV52 A Fu Wan Ren Ai gifted the Live Streamer Carnival*1】

…

A Fu suddenly started spamming Carnivals one after another on Lin Sui's side.

Fadai was a bit surprised.

Lin Sui hadn't done anything, so what was he spamming for?

Could it be that he wanted to gift them to her, but forgot to switch Live Streaming Rooms?

Fadai hinted subtly, "It seems Brother A Fu still really likes listening to this song. Does Brother A Fu have anything else you'd like to hear?"

Lin Sui looked at the messages on the public chat and laughed, almost unable to hold it in, "He probably won't want to listen to songs for a while."

Fadai clearly didn't believe it, "If he didn't want to listen, would he give you so many tips?"

She emphasized the word "you" heavily, not just to remind Lin Sui, but also to remind A Fu that he had tipped the wrong person!

"Oh, that? You don't think he meant to tip you and tipped the wrong person, do you?" Lin Sui asked bluntly.

Before Fadai could think of an excuse to refute, Lin Sui continued, "Don't misunderstand, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"You've finished your performance, goodbye." After saying this, Lin Sui hung up the PK connection.

Leaving Fadai alone in the Live Streaming Room to sulk.

A Fu's tipping really had nothing to do with her; the main reason was Lin Dan Da.

He had just said he wanted to sing a song, and many viewers in the public chat asked him to get on the mic to sing.

A Fu wouldn't allow it, so he was spamming frantically.

He tipped the most, so everyone had to listen to him!

Lin Dan Da was not to be outdone, "Spamming is useless, I'm already in the bathroom. Lin Sui, come on, let me on the mic!"

LV52 A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "Kick him out! Kick him out!"

Lin Dan Da kept requesting to connect to the mic, and Lin Sui brought him up.

As soon as he opened the mic, he cleared his throat, "Little A Fu, you haven't even heard Brother sing, how do you know it doesn't sound good?"

"I heard that the Cilantro Beauty Pageant has been discontinued; in the future, organize a Danda Song King for Brother!"

He was in the bathroom, so his voice had a bit of an echo; honestly, it had a certain vibe.

"Song King, give us a few lines first." Lin Sui didn't agree or refuse; at least she had to see his strength first.

"Just that song from before, right? Wait for me to put on some BGM."

Soon, besides the background music, the sound of rushing water came through; he seemed to be simulating the intoxication of being in the shower.

Then, he started singing...

A super invincible peerless white-voice, combined with a tune that couldn't be found, mixed with the sound of rushing water.

Everyone in the Live Streaming Room fell silent.

Just a moment ago, that young lady had sung a love song with a lot of emotion.

He was singing with zero emotion and no technique, completely immersed in his own singing, intoxicated to the point of forgetting the world.

LV52 A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "……"

LV52 A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "It's about time, you should end the Live Streaming."

Lin Sui: "That doesn't seem right..."

LV47 Ke Ai Gui: "Ending early is fine, everyone understands tonight; we're going to have nightmares later."

Lin Sui: "Is it really okay?"

Lin Dan Da: "I (shaking vibrato)~ love (angry tone)~ you (intoxicated)~"

Lin Sui: "……"

End Live Streaming!

Hesitating for one more second would be a disrespect to her own ears!

Lin Dan Da, who thought he was comparable to a living song king, finished singing and saw that the Live Streaming had ended a few minutes ago.

He was so angry he went straight to the group chat to demand an explanation.

Lin Dan Da: "Why did you suddenly end the Live Streaming! Did I not sing well?"

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "You sang too well! It's just that we don't have the fortune to listen."

Feng Liu: "It sounds like someone's pet duck got loose. If you ended the Live Streaming any later, the duck farm would have caught you and turned you into roast duck overnight."

A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "/Like"

Ke Ai Gui: "/Like"

Lin Dan Da: "..."

Lin Dan Da: "What a group of people with no taste! I can't see eye to eye with you lot!"

Feng Liu: "It would be even more miserable to see eye to eye with you."

Lin Dan Da: "Enough! Little mouth, shut it!"

He really didn't like hearing Feng Liu speak.

He was even a bit confused; why did he pull Feng Liu into their big brother and big sister group back then?

This person has such a low level, what kind of big brother is he? And his words are so unpleasant!

ˉ

During this period, the Live Streaming earnings plus the Ten-fold Withdrawal, along with the commission from selling goods on the Live Streaming, added up to a small treasury of nearly five million.

Lin Sui was no longer in a rush to pay the breach of contract penalty; she was waiting for the lawyer's results.

After it ended tonight, the system did not notify her that there was a reward to collect.

Only after Lin Sui lay down on the bed did she react, "Are you swallowing my reward?"

The system was very calm, 【I am saving it up for you; I'll give you a big one once it reaches twenty million.】

Lin Sui let out a sigh of relief, "Oh~"

The next second, she sat straight up from the bed, "No! Now that you put it that way, I feel like that big one will be deducted from my small treasury!"

System: 【Then let me ask you, every time I deduct your money, isn't it used on you? Do you think I would spend your money on myself? Speak!】

Lin Sui lay back down on the bed, "I actually don't have much of an opinion, but can you have fewer of those dispensable things? Things like that Invitation Letter for the gala, please spare me, okay? Spare me."

System: 【That thing is once a year; you couldn't go this year even if you wanted to. Rest assured, this time it is truly useful.】

"Then I'll trust you one more time." Twenty million, that does sound like a big reward.

Making money is a long and arduous road.

"By the way, when are you restocking?" Lin Sui asked the system.

System: 【No rush. Only by doing this hunger marketing well will people not think it's expensive next time.】

Lin Sui: "... And you, my friend, you are the true profiteer."

…

The lawyer Lin Sui found was a woman, and she was very empathetic toward the situation Lin Sui was facing.

That night, after organizing the materials, she went to find Wu Hao as soon as the next day dawned.

Wu Hao was no coward either; thinking the other party had no evidence, he sent his own lawyers to battle.

With the principals of both sides not showing up, the two sets of lawyers fought fiercely.

Next was the normal procedural stage; if things went smoothly, it wouldn't take long, but if not, it would take several months.

With evidence in hand, it shouldn't last too long.

Wu Hao's Interstellar Entertainment was, after all, an entertainment Company; with an incident like this, it was worth a spot on the trending searches.

The name Lin Sui and the name Wu Hao were hung on the trending searches at the same time.

Fans in the industry knew Wu Hao, but the name Lin Sui was a bit unfamiliar.

There were also quite a few people who found it familiar.

"Is this Lin Sui the one who recorded the show with Yan Yushu and the others last time?"

"The female micro-business tycoon?"

"Laughing to death, heard this woman is suing Wu Hao for sexual harassment. Oh my god, looking like that, it's an occupational injury for the boss!"

"No, does the person above think Wu Hao is very handsome? Go eat something good."

"Nowadays women will hype anything to get famous. Wasn't there another one who sued her boss with this excuse a while ago? Here comes another one, who would believe it! They're narrowing the path for everyone else!"

"Don't say it, keep talking and she'll start crying on a Live Streaming."

"I went to search, she really is a Live Streaming influencer now, but... you say she's ugly, the micro-business tycoon... have you not seen her real appearance?"

"Why does it feel like there are simps? Female influencers in a Live Streaming Room, once the beauty filter is on, even my grandma could do suggestive content! The show was her real state, okay!"

"Checked, she looks like this on Live Streaming. /Image"

Everyone: "..."

"Plastic surgery! It must be plastic surgery!"

…

Ironically, not many people were discussing the incident itself anymore; most were circling around doubts about Lin Sui's face.

Some believed she looked exactly like the micro-business tycoon on the show poster, and her pretty appearance in the Live Streaming Room was all beauty filters and plastic surgery.

There were even some unscrupulous cosmetic doctors coming out to analyze where she had undergone surgery.

Seeing that there wasn't much discussion about him on the internet and that everyone was discussing Lin Sui, Wu Hao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This relief did not last him very long.

At noon, Lin Sui registered a Weibo account.

She posted her first Weibo.

【Regardless of beauty or ugliness, everyone has the right to speak for themselves.】

And attached the surveillance video.

But there are always contrarians in the comment section who think they are the only ones with a clear head in this world.

"Didn't you end up hitting him in the end? I guess the price wasn't negotiated."

Lin Sui replied on the spot: "@Interstellar Entertainment Wu Hao, this person won't resist your harassment, just give him more money, hurry up and take him back. What? You mind that he's a man? Don't worry, according to his own words, as long as the money is enough, his rear end can be used too."

"Am I the only one who thinks the boss is also very miserable?"

Lin Sui: "Do you think this will attract his attention? Good tactic! I'll help you tag him. @Interstellar Entertainment Wu Hao"

"If she were truly clean, she wouldn't have become an internet celebrity."

Lin Sui: "Is that what a modern-day floor rag looks like? You can tell who is clean or not at a glance. You'd better be careful; on any other website, you're the kind of floor rag that gets used by others. If this plot continues, the first person to open you up will be him. @Interstellar Entertainment Wu Hao"

…

Lin Sui retorted to these malicious comments one by one, tagging Wu Hao in every single retort.

There was no other reason, simply to scold them together.

There are always some people who, upon seeing that the person involved in an incident is a woman, will steer the topic in that direction.

Lin Sui fought poison with poison and scolded like a madwoman.

She also got herself banned; she was muted.

Damn it!

Enduring only makes people think you are easy to bully, but if you don't endure, the platform will sanction you.

This is reality.

Since the evidence has already been released, there is no way for others to keep lying through their teeth; at most, they can only make a few sarcastic remarks.

But after seeing Lin Sui's attack power, they all silently deleted them.

Mainly because they don't want to be "done" by Wu Hao; he is too ugly.

Wu Hao was furious when he saw Lin Sui's Weibo.

Especially the ones where she tagged him; they were even more unbearable to look at.

He looked at that video carefully; it was the surveillance from his office.

But ever since she left the Company, he had strictly forbidden Lin Sui from entering the Company again; how did she get this surveillance footage?

Wu Hao saw someone in the comment section mentioning something about recording a program with Yan Yushu and the others.

Lin Sui had already been blacklisted by him, so what program could she possibly be recording?

He followed the program's official Weibo, clicked in to take a look, and saw a familiar person.

It was actually Tong Shen!

The matter was already very clear.

It must have been Tong Shen who helped Lin Sui steal the surveillance footage.

These two are colluding with each other!

Wu Hao never came out to speak from beginning to end, and Lin Sui was also muted.

This internet spectacle would have probably lost its heat by the evening.

As it turned out, it ushered in another climax in the evening.

Everything stemmed from a Weibo post made by Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning V: "Such a story-filled photo. /Image"

Her attached image was the scene where she had climbed onto the roof and stood diagonally across from Lin Sui, a moment with a very cinematic, story-like feel.

In the picture, Lin Sui's cold and fragile aura overflowed from the screen.

They say that what is filmed in a program is a person's most authentic state, so in this picture of hers, can anyone say she doesn't look good?

Those who previously said she had plastic surgery all fell silent; there really isn't a single trace to be seen.

"The program team is stirring up trouble! This young lady is so beautiful, why did the poster make her look like a micro-business girl boss?"

"Maybe this is also a way to drive traffic."

"Our Ningning is also absolutely beautiful!"

Lin Sui herself didn't expect that Jiang Ning would actually come out to speak up for her.

Her fans are not on this platform, and in a situation where she was basically isolated and helpless here, Jiang Ning was the first to stand up.

What a pity, she was muted and couldn't reply to anything.

When she logged into the Yinfu Platform again in the evening, Lin Sui discovered that Feng Liu's main account had already posted the whole story for her.

Once his major marketing account posted it, other small marketing accounts followed suit, and it was almost a case of one call receiving a hundred responses.

She had already been on the hot list for a whole day.

Fan-made edits of beautiful photos and recommendation videos appeared one after another.

With marketing accounts speaking up for her in the front and fans promoting her crazily in the back, they caught this wave of heat for her.

Within a day, her followers exceeded eight million; it felt like after tonight, she would reach ten million followers.

How many of these were just here to watch the spectacle is unknown.

Before it was time for the Live Streaming, Lin Sui chatted with her lawyer for a while about the subsequent matters.

After finishing the business, Lin Sui clicked on the Yinfu Platform again.

What caught her eye was a Live Streaming notification.

The title read: I am Wu Hao, debunking rumors online.

Lin Sui watched from outside the Live Streaming Room; Wu Hao was sitting in his office, his eye sockets and nose tip red, and since he was already sleazy to begin with, he looked even sleazier like this.

"Hello everyone, I am Wu Hao. I have been set up by two newcomers in the Company."

"I can responsibly tell everyone that the video is slander! Naked slander! I would not joke about my own innocence..."
