Chapter 3 Shen Yuege, My Wife
Upon seeing these news headlines, Lu Ran's heart skipped a beat, and then he clicked on the so-called "diva" video.
The video only contains clips, and it is clearly maliciously edited.
The video captured Shen Yuege's tired expression when answering fans' questions, and paired it with highly suggestive subtitles and catchy background music. To netizens unfamiliar with internet trends, it actually looked quite convincing.
The comment section below the video was flooded with sarcastic remarks from paid trolls and haters, while the occasional comments from rational fans who questioned the video were quickly scrolled down.
The video of suppressing newcomers was also a notice circulating online, and even Lu Ran, an outsider, could see that the notice was full of loopholes.
However, because the poster was a blogger with millions of followers, the story spread extremely quickly, to the point that netizens didn't care about the authenticity of the event at all.
"Hiss..." Lu Ran couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The album failed, his image was damaged, and there was discord within the company.
She has all the things that celebrities worry about most, no wonder she's been in a bad mood lately.
It's my own 1000 million yuan; I don't want it to go down the drain because of these things.
To protect my 1000 million... no, to protect my senior wife who is in trouble, shouldn't I, Lu Ran, do something?
He glanced at Shen Yuege's tightly closed door, then looked at the complete version of "The First Dream" in his mind, and Lu Ran already had his answer.
A hen that lays eggs has to lay an egg first.
Lu Ran wouldn't allow Shen Yuege to be finished before she could pay him back the 1000 million.
As for the price of this song, I suppose she won't be short of money after I've helped her through this difficult time.
Having figured this out, Lu Ran only had one last problem left.
How could you pretend to have accidentally handed the song to Shen Yue as a singer?
Should I just say, "I wrote a song, you can sing it, I guarantee it'll be a hit"?
I'm afraid I'll just get a disapproving look from Shen Yuege, and that might backfire.
We need to find the right time...
Just as Lu Ran was thinking about how to help Shen Yuege in a reasonable and natural way, his phone vibrated. It was a notification from the bank app that a deposit had been received.
[Your account ending in XXXX received a transfer of RMB 1,000,000.00 on XX/XX/XX, leaving a balance of RMB 1,000,250.00.]
Note: Living expenses.
Looking at the string of numbers on his phone, Lu Ran became even more determined in his decision.
This young lady isn't stingy; she's genuinely generous when she has money.
I'm definitely going to help with the song.
Ding~ding~ding~
Just then, Lu Ran received a series of messages tagging him in his QQ VIP reader group.
...
Back in her room, Shen Yuege lay on the bed, took out her phone, and tapped on the app with the tomato icon.
Recently, Shen Yuege has been going through a lot of upsetting things, and she has unexpectedly become obsessed with online novels.
Looking at her bookshelf, Shen Yuege saw that the book had been updated, so she quickly clicked to read it.
Five chapters were updated in one go today, which she thoroughly enjoyed reading, and even her recent bad mood improved a lot.
Shen Yuege opened the gift interface and sent 30 "Super Rockets" in one go.
This was an agreement she and the author had reached beforehand: for every extra chapter the author updated each day, she would reward him with 10 "Master Certifications".
Within minutes of the donation, the author had already tagged her in the fan group.
"Holy crap, she's rich."
"By following the rich woman, I can get several new chapters."
"Author, if you update ten more chapters, I'll give you a gift as a reward."
Lu Ran ignored the unreasonable demands of his fans and continued to update one chapter a day. "I'm the boss," he said. "If I update ten chapters a day, then the fans are the boss."
They've already time-traveled, and they still want me to be their slave?
There's only so much time to slack off during the day. Even if you have a draft in your head, you can't type this much in 8 hours. Do you think everyone in the online novel circle is an eagle?
Once I have more popularity points in the system, I might consider redeeming this book first, which would save me the trouble of writing it myself.
What? You're saying it's plagiarism? How can you call it plagiarism when it's something a scholar does? I'm spreading excellent culture across dimensions.
Yes, I've even thought about the next book.
Praise be to the fool!
However, Lu Ran still chatted with the fans in the group for a while, and also thanked the rich lady who sent him gifts.
Lu Ran remembered that this netizen with the screen name "Moonfall Star Song" had mentioned in a previous chat that she seemed to be a singer as well, but she didn't know how popular she was.
"Heavenly Silkworm Potato: @MoonfallStarSong Thank you so much for the 30 gifts from our 'sponsor' mom. I will continue to work hard and hope to receive more gifts in the future."
"Heavenly Silkworm Potato: I also wish 'Moonfall Star Song' a speedy rise to fame, like...
Lu Ran pondered for a moment.
"To become as famous as Shen Yuege."
There was nothing Lu Ran could do. Among all the singers in this world, he only knew Shen Yuege, and she was quite famous, already a minor pop diva. Surely his own fans weren't pop divas too.
The entertainment industry doesn't produce a new queen of pop every few years; it can't be full of queens of pop.
"Holy crap, the author is also my junior from Wa!"
"Author, you're so biased! I subscribed to all of them too. Didn't you see the little heart I sent?"
Knowing that the fans were just joking, Lu Ran continued chatting with them.
Shen Yuege had already put down her phone, but seeing the mentions in the group chat, she instinctively picked it up again because she couldn't sleep.
Upon seeing the author's words, Shen Yuege couldn't help but smile, and at the same time, she quickly typed out a question:
Who is Shen Yuege? Is she very famous?
Although Shen Yuege was secretly delighted, she still asked the question that she already knew the answer to.
As everyone knows, for celebrities, the sense of accomplishment from being unconsciously praised by strangers far surpasses the effect of being lauded by their own fans online.
However, Shen Yuege's words caused quite a stir among the group's viewers.
After all, she is a popular singer, a rising star, and it's no wonder that many people in Lu Ran's fan group like Shen Yuege.
"Shen Yuege, you don't know? She's a top pop star!"
"You're a singer and you don't know Shen Yuege? You've heard 'Rebirth,' right? That's her song. I listen to her songs to sleep every day. I didn't expect the author to be her fan."
"Shen Yuege, sigh, she's just a pretty face!"
Amidst all the praise, there's always this discordant element.
Just as Shen Yuege was about to get angry, the chat box showed that this person had been kicked out of the group chat.
"Heavenly Silkworm Potato: Ahem, just to clarify, no one is allowed to slander Shen Yuege in this group. Anyone found doing so will be kicked out immediately."
"Heavenly Silkworm Potato: Also, let me announce that Shen Yuege is my wife."
"I've reported this author who's indulging in wishful thinking."
"Shen Yuege is your wife, I could say she's my mother!"
"You just love playing the author's son!"
Shen Yuege, who was initially a little angry, became both annoyed and amused after seeing Tiancan Potato's words.
