Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 39 - 38: Twinkling Stars
Chapter 39: Chapter 38: Twinkling Stars
At the end of the year, Ye Qiu returned from filming abroad and visited the village with her elderly and frail grandmother. The place had changed significantly compared to two years ago.
The road leading to the county was spacious and flat, with green trees lining both sides, and the dilapidated tile houses had been transformed into a series of exquisite and sturdy homestays.
Following the natural terrain, willow trees were planted along the village stream. A gentle breeze blew as one stood on the stone bridge, creating an impression of a secluded and elegant retreat.
The environment of the village was not polluted by the extensive construction. Instead, it was enhanced by the terrain, with the small village backed by mountains, and the mountains’ treasures and game remaining abundant due to reasonable harvesting and protection, which in turn attracted large numbers of tourists.
The villagers had all become wealthier. The village chief looked at Ye Qiu with gratitude and pride. She was their village’s big star who had made it big! She didn’t forget her poor fellow villagers; instead, she donated most of her earnings, asking nothing in return, to help rebuild the village. How many people in the world can do what she has done?
So, every time they saw unfavorable reports about Ye Qiu on television, these grandpas and grandmas forcibly had their grandchildren teach them how to use computers and smartphones, then they would refute those reports one by one.
Do you understand how good Ye is?
Do you know the many good deeds Ye has done?
Ye is so kind-hearted, how can you bear to hurt her?
That Lin Feifei, every time I see you, I’ll scold you!
...
Even after their scolding was done, they weren’t satisfied and would zealously recommend Ye Qiu to other netizens.
Our little Ye is the most beautiful!
Our little Ye has such great acting skills!
Our little Ye can archery, fish, make a fire...
...
Alright, alright, we get it, your Ye Qiu is the best, happy now?
Since these grandpas and grandmas don’t know how to lie or hide things, almost all netizens who follow Ye Qiu knew about this group of fervent elder fans. Usually, they provided jokes and support, and some passerby netizens actually got swayed by their promotion to start following Ye Qiu, which was a pleasant surprise!
"Feifei, I heard that Ye Qiu is your senior from the same school, and you both participated in a wilderness reality show together. You must have a good relationship, right?" the host asked.
Lin Feifei felt annoyed. She knew Ye Qiu was popular now, but this was her interview show. There’s no need to use Ye Qiu to boost ratings, right?
Despite her reluctance, she couldn’t let it show on her face. She gave a shy smile to the camera and said softly, "I really admire my senior! I’ve also invited her to dine with me privately, but she seems very busy and has never accepted."
"Eh? How come?" the host said in surprise, "I heard that Ye Qiu has finished filming ’Star Hero’ and has returned to the country for a rest!"
At this remark, Lin Feifei’s smile instantly became awkward and aggrieved as she said in a downhearted tone: "Then maybe she still hasn’t forgiven me for accidentally falling on her during that show!"
While speaking, Lin Feifei made a cute and playful wink towards the camera, "Senior, if you see this show, please forgive me. It really wasn’t intentional, can I please take you out for a meal?"
After the program was broadcast, countless netizens shared the video and @Ye Qiu to forgive her!
At this time, Lin Feifei’s ’Concubine’s Mistress’ was also airing on this TV station and her fame had skyrocketed. Within a day, a large number of netizens joined in sharing and commenting.
Most still treated this incident as a joking matter. After all, the protagonists were two beautiful female celebrities, and since the incident had passed so long ago without any major issues, they simply assumed Lin Feifei’s remarks were part of an agreed-upon hype with no other implications.
But some of Lin Feifei’s fans, seeing Ye Qiu’s delay in responding, became angry and started viciously attacking Ye Qiu online.
"What’s so great about Ye Qiu? Just because she filmed ’Star Hero’? Does she have to be such a diva?"
"What is Ye Qiu worth? Our Feifei has apologized so sincerely, what more does she want?"
"Ye Qiu is trash without any explanation."
"Firmly boycott all of Ye Qiu’s TV shows and movies, Ye Qiu come out and apologize!"
"Ye Qiu get out of the entertainment industry!"
...
Such topics about boycotting Ye Qiu and Ye Qiu getting out of the entertainment industry emerged one after another.
"Completely blind, these fans who call themselves Lin Feifei, where did these mad dogs come from?" Grandpa Li was sitting under the village’s big banyan tree scrolling through his phone when suddenly a flood of news smearing Ye Qiu appeared, making him quiver with anger.
"Ye, Ye, come here quick, someone’s smearing you again." Granny Liu, seeing Ye Qiu wandering around with the village chief, was hopping mad with urgency.
"What’s going on, what’s going on?" Upon hearing that someone was smearing Ye Qiu, the usually composed village chief couldn’t stand still either. Despite mocking his old companions for quarreling like children with the youngsters, in reality, he’s more fanatic than anyone else when he gets home.
"Ye, you better look at this, quickly contact your company." Granny Liu handed her phone to Ye Qiu, extremely anxious, fearing for her well-being.
"Watch me tear these people a new one." Grandpa Li, always hot-tempered, was ready to explode upon seeing his favorite junior being slandered.
"Mind your tone, so as not to bring more trouble to our Ye." The village chief couldn’t help but school his old pal.
"I know, I know." Old Li replied irritably, his wrinkled hands typing away in a manner not befitting his age.
"Hello!" While looking at the news, Ye Qiu answered a call from her agent, Sister Yang. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Yeah, I just saw the news."
...
"I understand, you guys handle it, I won’t respond."
...
"Okay, thanks for the trouble, Sister Yang."
"How is it? Is everything okay?" The village chief asked with concern.
"Nothing problematic, you all don’t worry, it should be the other party making a fuss. The agent and company will handle it properly," Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, these truly caring grandparents of hers, so adorable!
"That’s a relief. I said it before, this Lin Feifei, you can tell she’s not a good person just by looking at her face, who knows maybe that incident on the show was on purpose!" Granny Liu couldn’t swallow this injustice, still endlessly nagging, "Back in our days, with her delicate demeanor, she will have difficulty finding a family to marry into! I don’t know what’s wrong with modern people, liking someone who appears different on the inside and out."
Listening to this, Ye Qiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
At night, Ye Qiu received another call from her agent, Sister Yang.
"Found anything?"
"Heh... We found it, no wonder they suddenly hired the Water Army!" Yang Tao sneered, "I heard that the Jewelry brand Lin Feifei is currently endorsing is considering terminating their contract with her, and just so happens that the general manager of that Jewelry company mentioned you in an interview with much appreciation. They must be afraid of losing this endorsement!"
"They really think they can destroy me with just a few trolls’ hype?"
"Of course not. I heard Lin Feifei recently turned down all her jobs to quietly attend school. Haven’t you been away from school for almost half a year now? With the semester ending, they’re probably planning to sell her ’top student’ persona and smear you again!"
"Heh... They’re so certain that I won’t score well?" Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, that was seriously underestimating her.
"Not everyone is you!" Yang Tao mocked verbally, but inwardly she was immensely impressed. The Ye Qiu under her management, she really didn’t know how that girl’s brain worked; having followed her for two years, it seemed like she could never truly grasp Ye Qiu’s limits.
