Ji Xiaoli clicked on Weibo, and instantly woke up from her drowsiness. But she was almost scared fainting.
Zheng Nanfeng didn't lie to her. She had indeed made it onto the Weibo hot search list.
#The Hardest - Working Rich Kid in History# had climbed to the fifth place on the hot search. #The Beautiful and Kind - Hearted Lucky Girl# was slightly less popular but still remained on the list.
The pictures attached to these two hot searches were all of her.
In #The Hardest - Working Rich Kid in History#, there was a nine - grid photo set of her - photos of her receiving a big award, during a donation interview, and her being trapped in the elevator with Zheng Nanfeng.
There were even partial screenshots of her novel.
Ji Xiaoli gasped in surprise. When she checked the #The Beautiful and Kind - Hearted Lucky Girl# topic, there were several sets of photos of her and Qin Xiangxiang in the alley from yesterday.
The caption was just as Zheng Nanfeng had said. It briefly told the story of how Qin Xiangxiang had slandered her and then emphasized how magnanimous Ji Xiaoli was in forgiving Qin Xiangxiang.
The final comment was - Our lucky girl is really beautiful and kind - hearted~~
Ji Xiaoli felt a headache coming on, but what bothered her even more was the comment section...
Damn, it was a landslide!
Little April: Oh my god, the lucky girl is such a beauty. She's so good - looking!
The Cat of a Lazy Person: Is that the girl's boyfriend in the elevator? Even though his face is blurred, it's obvious he's a handsome guy!
Crescent Girl: Oh my god, the touching love story of the down - and - out rich kid Qin Xiangxiang and the beautiful and kind - hearted lucky girl making up. It's so sweet!
Little Rabbit Wanying: Those who are shipping them are a cult. Get them out (but they do seem a bit of a match).
Sanwa: Am I the only one who thinks this girl isn't that good - looking?
Then there were dozens of replies in unison - You're the only one who thinks so.
Ji Xiaoli clicked into the hot search with a puzzled look on her face and then backed out just as confused.
But after careful thought, she felt something was off. Whether it was winning the lottery or being slandered, although it would attract attention, it shouldn't have received such high - level attention.
When something seems abnormal, there must be something fishy! Although Ji Xiaoli didn't quite understand the ins and outs, she always felt as if someone was deliberately manipulating things behind the scenes.
Just then, Zheng Nanfeng suddenly sent a message.
South Daddy: How about it, great writer? Treat me to a meal?
Tsk...
Looking at the words "South Daddy", Ji Xiaoli just wanted to punch someone.
So, with a scowl on her face, Ji Xiaoli changed "South Daddy" to "South Son" and calmly dialed Li Songyuan's phone number.
"Hello? Is that Xiaoli?"
The male voice on the other end was magnetic and gentle, and it was obvious he was smiling. "What a coincidence. I was just about to call you, and then your call came."
His voice, like a clear spring, made Ji Xiaoli's heart skip a couple of beats. Ji Xiaoli bit her lip and still asked cautiously, "Editor - in - chief, did you call me because of the hot search?"
Hearing Ji Xiaoli's hesitant voice, Li Songyuan seemed to be in a great mood. After taking a sip of his tea, he laughed and said, "Xiaoli, you want to ask if our company is behind the hot search, right?"
Ji Xiaoli didn't say a word.
After all, she knew very well that some of the photos were taken by the Yuan sisters.
"Well, I can tell you clearly. Yes."
Li Songyuan's frankness surprised her slightly.
Ji Xiaoli: "This... Why?"
"Because there's a great piece of news for you."
Li Songyuan's tone was brisk. "A film and television company came to us. They're very interested in your novel *My Life Is on a Roll* and want to buy the copyright for a film and TV adaptation. If you're interested, you can come over now, and we can talk in person."
So... was it because they were going to make a movie or TV show and wanted to create some hype?
Ji Xiaoli was still a bit dazed.
An hour later, downstairs of Mingri Xingguang.
Ji Xiaoli squinted her eyes against the sunlight, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.
According to Li Songyuan, the company that wanted to buy her copyright was Chenyu Film and Television Company, which had countless popular young actors and actresses. She could almost imagine the day when her story and characters would become well - known across the country!
To commemorate this great day - or rather, to prevent the people from Chenyu Film and Television Company from looking down on her, she even specially bought a wine - red backless dress and a pair of seven - centimeter high heels.
Now, with such full confidence, she walked into the company proudly.
Unfortunately, her confidence didn't last long.
The seven - centimeter high heels were torture for someone like her who was used to wearing flat shoes!
- Especially in a crowded elevator.
Ji Xiaoli was in the crowded elevator, surrounded by warm bodies, but the pain in her feet made cold sweat break out on her back.
She gritted her teeth and cursed herself for being stupid.
Damn it, what on earth was she thinking when she bought these high heels? She felt like her feet were already numb from the pain!
"Xiaoli, are you not feeling well?"
A gentle voice came from above.
Ji Xiaoli let out an "eh" and looked up to see Li Songyuan's eyes full of tenderness. He had a pair of standard phoenix eyes, and when he smiled, he was so gentle it was intoxicating.
"Song... Songyuan Editor." For some reason, maybe it was because the elevator was too stuffy, Ji Xiaoli felt her face getting hot when Li Songyuan looked at her.
"You, why are you here?"
Li Songyuan smiled faintly and waved the coffee in his hand. "I bought some coffee for you. It'll be convenient for your negotiation."
Ji Xiaoli couldn't help but sigh, "You're really considerate, Editor - in - chief."
Editor - in - chief's girlfriend must be very happy, right?
But Ji Xiaoli was too embarrassed to say this.
Ding.
The 21st floor arrived.
Before Ji Xiaoli could get out of the elevator, she was squeezed out by the crowd.
There were chaotic footsteps on the ground. Leather shoes and high heels rushed out in a hurry. Ji Xiaoli's black high heels made it hard for her to keep her balance.
After taking a few staggering steps, she sprained her foot with a "snap" -
Thud!
Ji Xiaoli fell flat on the ground.
Li Songyuan helped Ji Xiaoli to a chair and let her sit down.
By then, Ji Xiaoli's left foot had started to go numb, and her ankle was swollen. If it weren't for Li Songyuan letting her lean on his shoulder and helping her over, Ji Xiaoli thought she would probably have to hop over on one foot...
"Is this your first time wearing high heels?"
Li Songyuan still smiled faintly, and there was no sign of mockery on his face.
He glanced at Ji Xiaoli's swollen foot, suddenly seemed to think of something, and turned away.
Ji Xiaoli watched his back and blinked blankly.
Eh...
Why did he just leave...
【Wow~~ The system detects that the player's romantic luck is surging! The player must seize this opportunity!】
Sure enough, there was an additional romantic luck bar on the system interface!
Moreover, its growth momentum was even stronger than the wealth luck bar next to it!
Ji Xiaoli raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at her injured foot.
This... is this what they call a surge of romantic luck??
