During lunch time, Chacha ordered two takeouts.
Mu Qingqing had nowhere to go, so she went to Chacha’s office to sit.
After the company employees went out to eat, Chacha headed to the pantry to make two cups of tea. After taking a sip, she asked, “How do you feel about your morning work?”
“It’s alright.” Mu Qingqing’s face turned a little pale. It felt quite fresh at first, but soon she could no longer keep up. Whether it was climbing the wall to visit foreign websites or finding interesting foreign news. Her English wasn’t up to par at all.
Her senior told her that she could look up the words in the dictionary and she spent the whole morning doing so, yet she still didn’t accomplish anything. In the end, the senior couldn’t stand it anymore and gave her a few small errands to make her feel that she wasn’t so useless.
She wanted to give up countless times, but didn’t know how to say it out loud.
After the food was delivered, Chacha placed one portion in front of Mu Qingqing and told her, “I’ll keep the receipt of every meal from now on and wait until the end of the month to total it up.”
Mu Qingqing: ” Hmm……” So serious— Too serious……
Chacha: “I’ll take you to the supermarket to buy daily necessities in the evening.”
“Okay……” It was now even harder for Mu Qingqing to say she wanted to give up.

Half a month later.
Mu Qingqing felt much better. She still wanted to give up from time to time, but things were much better than before.
Maybe it’s because she’d gotten used to the work after all her earlier frustration.
She wasn’t used to Chen Cha’s style of clearly dividing money in the beginning, but now that she has had more contact with people in the company, she felt that she’s the one who’s weird.
This was probably society.
Make the distinction clearly if one needed to, as being unclear would only lead to issues in the long run.

“Chen Cha, it’s already nine o’clock, aren’t you getting off work yet?”
Everyone in the company had gone home. Mu Qingqing was staying in the office but she had also gotten off work. She had just finished brushing her teeth and was getting ready to go to bed.
Chen Cha, on the other hand, was still reading documents.
Mu Qingqing added, “You can slack off a bit for one night and relax .”
“No.” Chacha looked at her. “Today has today’s task, and tomorrow has tomorrow’s task. If one wants to do something well, don’t find any excuse to be lazy.”
Mu Qingqing: “Alright.”
Mu Qingqing still felt overwhelmed, but she wanted to persevere.
She always felt that she couldn’t live up to Chen Cha’s expectation because the other party was different and was someone special. This was the first time in Mu Qingqing’s life that she had met someone like Chen Cha.
Mature, stable and serious.
It seemed that there’s nothing in this world that the other party couldn’t do.
Chen Cha’s existence was an inspiration to her.
She didn’t want to let Chen Cha down and always had a feeling that if she gave up now, she might not be able to be friends with Chen Cha in the future.
Mu Qingqing didn’t want that.
Thus in just half a month, she felt as if several years had passed, and all her abilities had been significantly improved, like her English, worldview, and patience.
Mu Qingqing asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“No need. You go ahead and get some sleep.”

After Mu Qingqing left, Chacha received a call from Ning An.
“Hello?”
“What should I do……” Ning An’s voice was low with a sobbing tone, “The web drama I filmed have been broadcasted. So many people are scolding me and the manager ran away with the money. What am I going to tell my parents? ……I don’t know what to do. The only person I can turn to is you…… I’m sorry……”
“Calm down. I’ll send you my location and you can come find me.”
“Hmm……”
Chacha quickly finished the rest of the work while Ning An was on her way. She had just turned off the computer when Ning An arrived.
After asking about everything that had happened, Chacha’s expression was very helpless. “You foolishly went to shoot without signing a contract?”
Ning An’s eyes were red. “I thought the manager is a good person……”
Chacha narrowed her eyes. “There are many people in this world that looks like good people, but are they all? Do you know that many of the murderers are decent people with a certain status in society, well-educated, and are said to be very kind and outstanding by their relatives and friends?”
Ning An weakly said, “I don’t know……”
In a rare moment, Chacha choked. She spat out, “Your low IQ always exceed my expectation.”
Ning An: “QAQ……”
Chacha sighed, then proceeded to calm her emotion before saying, “No need to rush. If you want to enter the entertainment industry, I have a way. However, do you believe me?”
Ning An nodded. “Mmhmm!”
“Alright, they you’ll stay with me for the time being and follow my arrangements.”
“Okay.”
Ning An originally felt as if the sky was about to fall, and in a panic, she subconsciously sought out Chen Cha, who seemed reliable.
Even though she was scolded and despised, her heart felt at ease.
Chacha took Ning An to a small hotel and booked a room for her. When she sent the other party to the room, she said, “I’ll keep account of the expenses for the room. You can return it all to me when you make money later.”
“Yeah.” Ning An just wanted to have a good night sleep now and had no time to think about the expensive room rate.

After Chacha went back and got ready for bed, she went online and looked up the web drama 《Sunny Summer》 starring Ning An.
It’s the typical Cinderella and a rich second generation story, but the plot was too flimsy and the production was terrible. Each episode had so many flaws that people couldn’t stop complaining.
An episode was twenty minutes long. Chacha glanced at the time and saw that it wasn’t very late yet so she planned to watch three episodes.
Chacha clicked play, but as soon as the video loaded, the audio sounded noisy. The artists styling was very rustic, with high-top shoes paired with seven-colored socks, a plaid shirt paired with bell-bottom pants……
Chacha felt like she has gone blind.
She didn’t make it through one episode, but fortunately, the show had too many flaws that after watching for a while, she had managed to screenshot scenes that she wanted to complain about.
After she was done, she called Ning An.
“Hello……” Ning An’s voice was heavy with sleepiness, as if she had been awakened from slumber.
Chacha said, “Get up and apply for a Weibo account. There should be a computer in the room, right? You must do it in five minutes. Give me your username when you’re done.”
After saying so, Chacha hung up the phone.
Ning An: “……”
Goodness, five minutes?!!!
Ning An quickly lifted the quilt, ran to the computer and turned it on.
The clocked ticked and the computer was still booting up.
Ning An had no idea why, but she was nervous.
The computer screen showed that it had loaded up to 94% and only needed 10 seconds more to start up. She felt very strange as she thought several minutes had already passed.
Ning An hurriedly open the search engine, typed in Weibo, and clicked to register.
Username, phone number, password, security code…… the list went on and on, making her palms sweat.
Once she was done applying for an account, Ning An opened the call log and saw that only four minutes had passed, before breathing a sigh of relief.
She sent Chen Cha a text message, 【My username is ‘Ning An QAQ’】
Chacha was satisfied to see Ning An do the task so quickly. She replied, 【OK, wait for my message.】
After replying, Chacha proceeded to make the screenshots of the web drama that she got into three long pictures. Then she opened Weibo and uploaded them with the caption, 【What is the nature of human beings? It’s to parrot others opinion.
@Ning An QAQ, may I ask what mood you are in when filming this drama?】
The accompanying images shows the female lead facing the male lead and when having a quarrel with him, the female lead covered her ears and said, ‘I’m not listening! I’m not listening! I’m not listening!’
When the female lead encountered something difficult to accept, she gripped her heart and said, ‘How can this be? How can this be? How can this be?’
And when the female lead encountered something she didn’t want to believe, she stepped back and said, ‘I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!’
Chacha was the first blogger other than an entertainment celebrity to have tens of millions of followers. As soon as she made a post, thousands of comments immediately appeared.
【Hahahaha, so incisive! As expected of a provincial top scorer! Today I’m going to blow up[1]boast about Chacha!】
【The words and pictures are even greater together~】
【Is that the female lead’s Weibo? Chacha even made of point of @’ing her. I suspect the two of them know each other!】
【This web drama can really beat all the other dog blood[2]absurd; exaggerated; ridiculous dramas out there. It’s super dumb. Anyone who can watch it is a warrior!】
【I’ve watched it too and felt that my brain has been damaged. Chacha is so awesome, she can still accurately find the flaws.】
【Hahahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter.】
……
After Chacha posted on Weibo, she sent Ning An a text message, 【I’m Chacha Loves Drinking Tea. Go forward the post I just made. You can write whatever content you want.】
Ning An read Chacha’s post and felt embarrassed for a moment. Then she forwarded it with the words, 【A very serious mood.】
Chacha couldn’t help but smile when she saw Ning An’s post. This kid could be quite cute at times. If she was less foolish, she would be even cuter.
Ning An’s Weibo immediately received a large influx of netizens.
【Ning An, do you know Chacha?】
Ning An QAQ replied, 【Mm, we’re schoolmates.】
【Hahahaha, why are you so cute, Ning An?】
【Ning An QAQ: Thank you for the compliment. I’m not cute, I’m stupid.】
【What kind of person is Chacha in private?】
【Ning An QAQ: She’s a very smart and reliable person, and also very kind.】
【What the heck? This earnest style has made me a fan of yours.】
【Ning An QAQ: What’s a circle powder[3]fan?】
Because of Ning An’s adorkable nature, as well as her serious attitude in replying to every comment, her number of followers rapidly rose and soon broke 100,000.
It finally stopped at the 110,000 mark.
Ning An was very idle and was in a weak, pitiful and helpless state. Receiving thousands of comments comforted her wavering heart.
As such, Ning An had nothing to do and responded to comments all day, basically replying to almost everyone.
After Chacha finished what she planned to do for that day, she turned off her phone and went to sleep.
———pr
The next day, she was woken up by Ning An’s phone call.
“Chen Cha, hurry and check Weibo, a lot of people are scolding you. I don’t know what to say so you go and take a look first, then tell me what to do.”
“En.” Chacha hung up the phone and fought back her sleepiness. She got up and checked Weibo.
Soon, she found the source of the problem. A big V revealed that she bullied Ning An in high school.
【Big Black Rabbit v:
Explosive material about the recently popular ‘most beautiful provincial top scorer’, Chen Cha.
When she’s in high school, because she likes the school grass and he’s very close to Ning An, she often targeted Ning An and led others to bully her. Take a look at the picture. Two of Chen Cha’s former friends divulge the information to me because they can’t stand her personality.
There are two pictures in total and the people who leaked them are different, as can be seen by the language style.
They’re both pitiful victims who were ignorant of the world and afraid of Chen Cha’s power. Moreover, Chen Cha was the source of all the incidents. It was Chen Cha who forced them, and it was Chen Cha who proposed to bully others.
The main message: Everything is Chen Cha’s fault and they’re just innocent victims.】
