Chapter 29 Part 3 – Ruan Yōu in their eyes — weak, aggrieved, and helpless.

The crazy publicity and the guests’ impoverished campus life formed a sharp contrast. The variety show received rave reviews on its first day online and had a lot of traffic.

Half of the traffic that Yu Chi and Cheng Guyuan participated in the show <Our Youth> was taken away.

Unable to compete with the popular variety show, the variety show team started doing other things.

The “Chosen Heir” system that Yu Chi and Cheng Guyuan are bound to requires them to complete tasks quickly by making appropriate changes to the minor plot, but they must ensure that the cannon fodder characters that should have a certain outcome in the plot must meet that outcome.

Among the eight cannon fodder characters mentioned by the system, three have already had a bad ending, four have not yet appeared, and one of them is Ruan Yōu.

The system emphasizes the danger of “cannon fodder counterattack”. If the cannon fodder counterattack is successful, it will weaken the protagonist’s halo.

This is very important for Yu Chi and Cheng Guyuan. They both have their own problems in the family and have to hide in the entertainment circle, waiting for the opportunity to return to the wealthy family to compete for inheritance rights. They are naturally profit-oriented. After awakening their consciousness in the novel, they understand that their previous ambiguity was only the work of the plot god, and the ambiguity between them gradually disappeared. The two of them maintained a rational cooperative relationship.

The appearance of the system not only informed them of the glorious ending of the novel, but also to a certain extent told Yu Chi and Cheng Guyuan that they are the protagonists of this world.

Yu Chi and Cheng Guyuan have never been valued by their families since they were young, and their families trust their respective older siblings more. All praise and honor have also been given to them.

After playing supporting roles for too long, Yu Chi suddenly developed the idea that the world revolves around her when she found out that she was the protagonist.

But the current situation is not like that.

The four major top wealthy families have a wide influence, and their leaders are deeply supported by the financial industry.

Yesterday, when participating in the fashion show, the Miss from the Gu family had a high status and Yu Chi wasn’t even qualified to meet her. What hit Yu Chi the most was the words of Qi Zhiyan. There is an insurmountable gap between her and them.

Yu Chi doesn’t believe it.

The cannon fodder, Ruan Yōu, in the book marks the beginning of the counterattack between her and Cheng Guyuan and the heirs.

She couldn’t find Ruan Yōu, and in the end, she only found Ruan Yōu’s former agent.

The agent and his company are planning to promote a new talent, and Ruan Yōu’s retirement has caused widespread discussion. The night she retired was Ruan Yōu’s hottest day, and everyone realized her difference and charm after the fact. The longing for Ruan Yōu, who had mysteriously disappeared, continued for a long time.

The agent and the company found it profitable and searched through the entire entertainment circle to finally find Yu Yao, who looks very similar to Ruan Yōu.

Their faces are somewhat alike, but more in terms of resemblance.

As the agent Du Sheng and the company were planning how to promote Yu Yao, Yu Chi approached them and promised to give Yu Yao a chance to make an appearance.

When the fire of Yu Yao rises, it does no harm to Yu Chi’s interest.

Yu Chi understands the ways of the entertainment industry well. In order to make Yu Yao famous, Du Sheng and his company will definitely involve Ruan Yōu, and they will manipulate the fans to reshape Yu Yao’s public image and attract those who still miss Ruan Yōu.

No star can stay popular forever, and when the fans lose their initial enthusiasm, they start to look for substitutes. Now is the best time to promote Yu Yao and make money by riding on Ruan Yōu’s fame.

These were the thoughts of the agent and the company, and Yu Chi helped them by pushing Yu Yao into a fashion show, but it took some effort.

Yu Yao’s first variety show appearance was on <Our Youth>, but she was absent on the first day of recording. Two days later, she would make her debut as a flight guest1a guest who appears in a TV show or program for a single episode or a limited period of time.. To build up her reputation, the agent and the company spent a lot of money on promotion.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, the official account of <Our Youth> announced the flight guests for the next few days.

There were two top-tier guests and one unknown Yu Yao.

Fans were dissatisfied.

Why was Yu Yao, a nobody, being promoted alongside top-tier celebrities? You think our idols paved the way for you, how arrogant.

Shortly after the Weibo post was released, the fans of Yu Chi and Cheng Guyuan together criticized the variety show and accused them of being money-grabbers.

The official account couldn’t express their grievances.

Yu Yao has a solid foundation, having worked as a supermodel for several years, but unfortunately did not become popular. Her agent and company created a big dream for her. It is said that she hesitated when she was told she would need to suck up to Ruan Yōu, but her morality and principles could not resist the lure of fame and fortune, and she eventually compromised.

Yu Yao’s talent speaks for itself, and today her magazine announcement is stunning with every shot. Invisibly, she has attracted a wave of fans.

Du Sheng was fully prepared for today’s promotion.

At 2:00 in the afternoon, he posted a seemingly vague Weibo message on the official account.

【Ruan Yōu’s retirement has dealt us a great blow. Such an outstanding person shouldn’t disappear from the public eye. After she left, the company has been reflecting on whether there was something they didn’t do well enough to keep her. We’ve seen many people online still waiting for her return, and we’re just the same. We hope she can come back and continue to shine in front of the camera.

But everyone knows that this matter is irreversible. She has resolutely retired, perhaps because she has found the long-awaited life she wanted. We may not need to worry about her, and she will definitely live a happy life.】

When Ruan Yōu saw “Little Ruan Yōu” trending, she wasn’t too angry. Yesterday, she had already built up the psychological resilience to deal with this kind of attention-seeking behavior in the entertainment industry. Having experienced it before, she felt calm and unaffected, but the post did make her feel nauseous.

Du Sheng, why do you have to be so petty?

Keeping the memory alive was just a way for those who currently like her to truly accept her departure, let go of her, and start looking towards the future. They should not expect her return.

Everything was just to pave the way for the new artists they were going to promote.

Ruan Yōu saw this Weibo post at 4:00 in the afternoon, several hours after it was posted. The comments section was filled with people reminiscing and bidding her farewell. At the same time, #Yu Yao’s Stunning Performance On Stage# was trending.

People were surprised to find that this talented newcomer looked somewhat similar to Ruan Yōu!

She even walked in the 110th anniversary fashion show of C’s brand last night!!

Compared to Ruan Yōu, there was a world of difference.

Ruan Yōu had been in the entertainment industry for three years but had not made much of a splash. She only played the leading role in one movie, and the rest were supporting roles. Her fans couldn’t bear to see her leave and felt disappointed.

On the other hand, Yu Yao achieved success immediately after debuting. She walked in the fashion show of C’s brand, had beautiful photos, and an excellent temperament. She was definitely a promising new talent in the industry. Fans in the past three years, who were hurt by Ruan Yōu’s departure, are now praising this rising star.

When the topic was trending, Du Sheng had already published a biographical article about Yu Yao on all platforms, portraying her as a model who was struggling with her dreams and ambitions but was cruelly betrayed by reality. She also had a dream of becoming a star in the entertainment industry.

Although the character design of Yu Yao is tragic, it can be considered successful.

There are many people who feel sorry for her.

To be honest, if Ruan Yōu didn’t know the truth about the situation and saw those tear-jerking articles, she would probably couldn’t help but say, “Sister, keep going, wuwuwu, sister has finally made it.”

It’s a good thing for Juan King to have dreams.

Ruan Yōu, as a retired person, admires her very much.

But it’s not necessary to do it like this.

Stepping on her to get ahead won’t work for long. Everyone will indeed pay attention to Yu Yao briefly because of her departure, but what about the future? By imitating her, you lose your own style. If so, why should fans like you?

What they want is something unique, not a replacement that is too good to throw away.

Regardless, Yu Yao gained 200,000 followers in a day. When Yu Chi and Cheng Guyuan followed Yu Yao’s account, it calmed down those who criticized her. While some fans may still be upset, it’s hard to say anything negative now that their idols are following her.

At 5:00 in the afternoon, Du Sheng had already opened a bottle of champagne and was celebrating with his boss Zhang Xun in the company.

Du Sheng smiled and said, “Ruan Yōu will definitely regret it when she sees Yao Yu’s development.”

Right now, they’re just doing some marketing. Yu Yao hasn’t officially appeared in <Our Youth> yet and doesn’t have many works. But once she has more works in the future, she is guaranteed to become a second-tier star, and may even have the potential to compete with first-tier stars and go down a path that even Ruan Yōu hasn’t gone down.

After drinking two sips of champagne, Du Sheng’s assistant rushed in panting and pointed to Weibo, saying, “Du Ge, Ruan Yōu replied to that Weibo!!”

After replying to the Weibo, Ruan Yōu went out to ride a bike.

She left her home feeling refreshed, but Gu Fuchen came back right after she left, followed by Lu Jin, Gu Zexi, Jiang Huai, Fu Jiazhan, and Lu Xuan.

Two hours ago, Gu Fuchen saw the online public opinion and couldn’t calm down in the office.

Lu Jin and Gu Zexi called to ask for a plan of action, but it was hard to explain over the phone, so they went directly to Gu Fuchen’s office.

And so一

The angry pufferfish sitting on the sofa became two people.

When Fu Jiazhan saw the news, he called Gu Fuchen immediately, but couldn’t get through, so he quickly went to his office.

Ever since becoming part of the investment group for the entertainment industry, Lu Xuan has spent more time browsing Weibo. This time, after seeing the news online, she immediately reported it to Gu Fuchen, hoping that Yōuyōu’s Brother would punish those villains quickly.

So一

The angry pufferfish group sitting on the sofa gained two more pufferfish.

After giving two hundred million yuan to Ruan Yōu, Jiang Huai wanted to see if there were any new projects in ‘You Xuan’. He didn’t want to ask Ruan Yōu or Lu Xuan, afraid that the two young ladies would think he was rushing them. So he, who never used Weibo, started browsing it every day.

When he saw Ruan Yōu’s hot search, he was so angry that his face turned red.

Hehe.

You can also call yourself Little Bodhisattva?

Finally一

There were five pufferfish appeared on Gu Fuchen’s couch.

Together with him, the six-members pufferfish group was very angry and ready to take action against those who bullied Ruan Yōu. But Gu Fuchen sadly said, “We can’t do anything.”

His sister said from the first day she came back that she would handle quitting the industry herself.

Thinking this way made Gu Fuchen even angrier.

His sister was a poor little thing, yet she insisted on handling things herself. She was strong and kind, and didn’t want to worry her family. How could anyone bear to bully such a good sister!

Everyone is downcast.

If we can’t retaliate, what should we do about Ruan Yōu?

As a last resort, Gu Fuchen took five pufferfish home, planning to see how his sister was doing before deciding on the next plan.

When the six young ladies and heirs returned home, the old butler quickly arranged for someone to send coffee and respectfully said, “The young miss seems to have gone out to relax.”

一Riding a bike is indeed a way to relax, he didn’t misunderstand.

The six members of the pufferfish group: …

She must have been wronged to go out and relax!

The six of them simply sat in the large reception room on the first floor and waited.

After fifteen minutes, Lu Xuan was still angry, so she angrily went on Weibo, logged in with a small account, and scolded the traitorous Ruan Yōu’s fans, those who said that Yōuyōu was not as good as Yu Yao, and the disgusting Weibo posted by the trash company.

When she got to the part about the trash company, Lu Xuan looked at the comments below and was stunned for a moment. It took her a while to realize that Ruan Yōu had replied to the trash company’s Weibo twenty minutes ago!

“Sister Yōuyōu posted on Weibo!”

The five pufferfish members took out their phones in unison and logged in to Weibo, their fingers tapping away on the phone screens in unison.

Ruan Yōu’s reply was simple.

She posted a Weibo and mentioned @Su Yue Entertainment.

【@Ruan Yōu: When I retired before, you didn’t say that, @Su Yue Entertainment】

This sentence can be interpreted in many ways, and before everyone could further analyze it, Ruan Yōu has come back.

Ruan Yōu got sand in her eyes while riding her bike. She barely rode, constantly rubbing her eyes. Now her eyes are red, and she plans to go upstairs to wash her face and clean up. She looked up and saw six people sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Ruan Yōu was stunned.

Her almond-shaped eyes blinked slowly, revealing her red eyes in front of everyone.

The six members of the pufferfish group: !

She had cried.

As they read Ruan Yōu’s reply on Weibo again, it became a cry of grievances and retorts, “When I retired before, you didn’t say that?” 一Why are you saying this now, wuwuwuwu

Ruan Yōu felt that they seemed formal, probably discussing some issues, so she didn’t want to disturb them and casually walked towards the elevator.

The six members of the pufferfish group: !!

It’s already so late, and she’s still trying to pretend nothing happened to deceive us.

She’s really, I’m so sad, TAT.

Ruan Yōu walked to the elevator, which was facing the living room. Seeing Wei Wen had just come down, Ruan Yōu thought of something and stopped her, whispering something to her secretly.

Wei Wen immediately nodded.

After Ruan Yōu’s figure disappeared from sight, Gu Fuchen quickly got up and asked, “Wei Wen, what did Ruanruan just say?”

Wei Wen replied, “Miss said to bring two bottles of red wine up.”

Gu Fuchen, Fu Jiazhan, Lu Jin, Lu Xuan, Jiang Huai, and Gu Zexi were all silent, taking a deep breath and looking at each other.

She…

She has already started drowning her sorrows in alcohol, TAT.

Stupid Company, all those who have bullied Ruan Yōu, get ready to face our wrath!!!
