Chapter 3
【My mother, this woman is crazy! Men are at a disadvantage. They are beaten and scolded by women at every turn to wax their brothers.】
【Upstairs, don’t use the map cannon. The blogger only released a few animated pictures. The truth is still unconfirmed. I think you’d better say less so as to avoid being unable to return.】
【Gender swap, over ten thousand comments.】
【Eh? My focus is different from that of you guys. Doesn’t anyone think this girl looks very familiar? Her body and posture are very similar to a person but who…】
The eyes of Chinese netizens were comparable to X-rays. After the big V fans noticed that the girl looked familiar, the rest of the people could not wait to use a magnifying glass to observe every detail of the picture. Very soon, some netizens spotted the clue and said that the girl in the photos looked like Meng Zhen from some angles.
As soon as this statement came out, it was as if water was splashed into the oil pan, the comment area immediately exploded.
【Fuck! Isn’t it really Meng Zhen? I’ve said that she’s not a good thing. While shaping the character to win the fans’ love, she also used big names to bully the actors of the same crew. To be honest, I used to think that the children in the orphanage were very pitiful, but now I see Meng Zhen, I think their education is very problematic. You can’t be too vain or superficial, otherwise, you will definitely get crooked! 】
【+1 I have never seen someone as terrible as Meng Zhen. Does she have a tendency to be violent? It is easy to change rivers and mountains but it’s hard to change a person’s nature. At first, it’s nothing more than being rough on the crew. Now you are beating innocent citizens in the mall. I have to see how the police deal with it. Do celebrities have privileges? Can you avoid legal sanctions? 】
【Meng Zhen, get out of the entertainment circle!!! 】
【Meng Zhen even dared to beat my sister. Lingling has been acting for a few years since her debut. She worked so hard and is still a senior, so she was beaten by a little idol who brought money into the group. Your circle is really dark! 】
That costume drama Meng Zhen participated in the filming before was called “You Feng Lai Yi”. Because of the low investment and tight funding for the announcement, the director chose Meng Zhen, who just debuted this year.
Young idols may be lacking in acting skills, but the traffic brought by fans could make up for this.
In this way, Meng Zhen was almost the same as Ji Xiaoling, the female lead. How could Ji Xiaoling’s fans be happy?
After the video of Meng Zhen slapping the colleague was exposed, Ji Xiaoling’s fans were the first to scold Meng Zhen.
There was a big tech geek fan of Ji Xiaoling, from the debut of the idol till the present. There was no need to mention the level of loyalty he had.
He hacked into the system of the orphanage and put all the information of the orphans in the hospital on the Internet, regardless of the privacy of those children. Although this was criticized, he still achieved his goal of destroying Meng Zhen’s rich and beautiful image Yunlai Entertainment had made.
As the scolding intensified, most of Meng Zhen’s fans turned black. Only a small number of people had always believed in their idols. Young artists had no right to speak. Sometimes, even their Weibo was controlled by the company, regardless of the standing in the circle. Meng Zhen had no room for resistance when it came to entertainment marketing.
Until now, Meng Zhen had not posted a single Weibo.
Fans loved their idol and tried their best to fight against the wrongdoings. There was a young girl who was so angry that she cried all night, but the black fans and the navy were all doing things with money that needn’t make sense. They just wanted to completely trample Meng Zhen. The pit they had dug made her unable to stand up forever.
At this time, the official account of Yunlai Entertainment issued a statement, roughly saying Meng Zhen would be frozen out. As soon as this news came out, it hit the “Hazels”1Meng Zhen’s fan club like a heavy hammer.
They couldn’t believe or accept this fact, so they rushed to the bottom of the officials, asking why the company didn’t help their idol to clarify, and why they had to make trouble at this critical juncture.
Meng Zhen had just made her debut for more than half a year. Her fans were still in the most enthusiastic period. Thousands of questions made the staff responsible for the operation of the Yunlai Entertainment account, uncomfortable. The staff looked at the constantly refreshing comments and wiped their forehead with a tissue. Leng Khan could only dial the supervisor’s number:
“Sister Linda, Meng Zhen’s fans are filled with chicken blood. The comments on Weibo are almost out of control. Should we respond?”
The woman called Sister Linda smiled coldly, took a quick puff of a cigarette, sneered, and replied, “It’s just a little idol. She can have the current splashes thanks to the company’s support. How many days can those brainless fans make trouble? In a week, these idiots will disappear.”
In fact, Linda didn’t like these fans on Weibo, but she was also a smart person knowing not to show her true thoughts.
Hearing this, the employees felt relieved and ignored the comments on Weibo.

On the other hand, Meng Zhen didn’t care about online disturbances at all. When she went home, she glanced at Weibo, put down her phone, put the toiletries in the bathroom, and cleaned the apartment meticulously.
The original body’s physical fitness was very good. When she was a trainee, she knew that she was not as good as other contestants in dancing, so she got up early to train in the dark, and sometimes, she would be so tired that she’d even fall asleep in the dance studio.
After training like this for more than half a year, her dance was not top-notch, but her physical fitness was pretty good.
After tidying up the rental house, Meng Zhen processed the Qibai ointment according to the memory in her mind.
Traditional Chinese medicines were usually prepared in pharmacies. Meng Zhen wrapped a kitchen knife with gauze and beat the medicinal materials with the back of the knife until the Angelica root and other things were broken into powder. She then beat only egg yolks in the bowl, taking the egg whites out for later use.
Ordinary people used clean water to prepare Qibai cream, but the former imperial concubine used Yunying eggs2https://www.google.com/url?q=https://wukong.toutiao.com/question/6387964491807588609/&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1639234822420000&usg=AOvVaw3rqK5aI-vzVls5v0zgrDA5. Over the years, the imperial concubine grew older but her skin was still as delicate and white as a young girl. This way she didn’t lose the favor of the Emperor.
In her previous life, Meng Zhen used Qibai ointment to maintain herself for ten years. No one knew the effectiveness of the prescription better than her. Therefore, even if the prices of these medicinal herbs were not cheap, Meng Zhen bought enough quantities. After the shower, she spread it evenly on the body, wrapped a layer of plastic wrap on the body, applied heat for a full half an hour, then rinsed it off with water.
Being frozen out meant no work. Taking advantage of this time, Meng Zhen planned to pick up the Peking opera skills of her previous life. The main task of each day was to practice the body, of which the leg exercise was the most critical part.
Although the original body was diligent, she was older when she started to learn dance, and her bones were close to adults, not as soft as children. To lay a solid foundation, Meng Zhen had to put in 120,000 points of hard training as she did in her previous life.
The height of the window sill of the apartment was just right. Meng Zhen pressed the leg, side leg, and cross leg here.3Anna: A king of exercise
The key to the leg press was to straighten the leg and press the upper body straight down, like a tight bowstring. If the strength did not break, the leg press would not have the desired effect, and a lot of effort would be wasted.
After practicing the basic skills, Meng Zhen’s cheeks were slightly reddened from the exercise. Her youthful and plump skin against the delicate eyebrows was just like dew-stained begonia flowers, indescribably beautiful.
Suddenly, the mobile phone she placed on the desktop rang. Rubbing the back of her neck, Meng Zhen checked and discovered it was a video call from her friend, Lei Yin.
Lei Yin grew up with the original body. She was abandoned by her biological parents probably because she disliked her disability as she was born with only nine fingers. Her parents put the child at the gate of the Red Heart Orphanage and she was taken in by the dean.
As soon as Meng Zhen pressed the accept button, the crying voice of the little girl was heard.
“Sister Zhenzhen, those black fans on the Internet are simply too bad. They don’t understand the truth and draw conclusions at will. These keyboard warriors really regard themselves as messengers of justice!”
Due to the long-term lack of funding, the financial situation of the Red Heart Orphanage was not good. It could only support the children to complete the nine-year compulsory education, and very few had completed high school.
Lei Yin was two years younger than Yuan Shen and she was also her best friend. Yuan Shen didn’t want her friend to drop out of school, so she always used the money she earned as a trainee for Lei Yin to study. The two girls depended on each other like relatives.
“Xiaoyin, don’t cry. Those people’s insults won’t make me lose a piece of meat, just ignore them. But your current study material4study workload, like the amount of things she needs to study, is a lot is very heavy, you need to rest early, you know?”
Meng Zhen had seen the life of the original body and knew very well about Lei Yin. This child was kind-hearted and had a simple personality. When others said bad things about the original body when she was a child, she rushed to fight with others, regardless of how old the boy was. The figure was also exceptionally strong.
“I’m just mad. Sister Zhenzhen is so good. Why should those people scold you?”
Lei Yin murmured. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and asked with a hint of expectation in her tone, “Sister Zhenzhen, tomorrow is Friday. Can I come to you after I leave school?”
In the past, Meng Zhen lived in the dormitory building of Yunlai Entertainment. The entire community was live-in trainees, and outsiders were not allowed to come and go. So, Lei Yin could not come and visit.
Now that Meng Zhen had moved out, there was no reason to refuse so she sent the new address to Lei Yin.
“Sister Zhenzhen, did you move?”
“Since I broke up with the company, I have to move out of my former dormitory. Now I rent a house by myself, come live here for two days on the weekend.”
Hearing this line of words, the little girl was so excited that she couldn’t wait for time to pass quickly.

The next afternoon, Lei Yin stood in front of the apartment’s security door carrying a heavy school bag.
When she saw Meng Zhen, who wore a simple white T-shirt and jeans, but her skin was as smooth as fine porcelain, her lips were as bright as cinnabar, and her clear eyes were refreshing, Lei Yin couldn’t help screaming.
“Sister Zhenzhen, I just didn’t see you for a few days, why have you become so beautiful?!”
“Ah, I’m dead! Ah, I’m dead!5Anna:It is an exaggeration of “ah I (by someone or something) die” and is generally used to express one’s extreme excitement and love when seeing something one likes very much. My sister killed me with beauty!”
Meng Zhen didn’t understand the terms of these online circles. She just smiled, showing a dimple on her cheeks, patted Lei Yin’s head, brought the little girl into the apartment, and said softly, “Set the things down first. I will take you back to school on Sunday.”
Lei Yin nodded vigorously. As long as she could be with Sister Zhenzhen, she felt happy.
After she put down her school bag, she clung to Meng Zhen’s side like a small tail. Meng Zhen entered the kitchen and she also entered the kitchen, Meng Zhen entered the bathroom and she also entered the bathroom. Her face flushed, and she was over-excited.
“Sister Zhenzhen, your waist is so thin. Did you get thinner again? You have to eat when you are an actor. It doesn’t look good in the photos if you are too thin—”
