[Have you caught up with the live broadcast?]

[So exciting! Is it reversed?]

[The way some people jump up and down is so funny]

[Have you finally decided to clean up the copywriting? Squat down]

Lu Zeqing didn’t deliberately whet their appetite, he just wanted to finish it as soon as possible, so no one could disturb him from making money or starting a career.

The Weibo posts were all drafted yesterday, and he posted them, giving the people who wanted to read melons time to rush to the comment area.

Less than half an hour later, the second Weibo post was posted.

[This Weibo post responds to my break with Mr. Xu Donghui and Ms. Wu Yue]

[The news is true. I moved my household registration out of the Xu family on the day I turned 18. ]

Lu Zeqing also posted several bank transfers. Since two years ago, he has made several transfers one after another. The payee is Xu Donghui, and the transfer amount ranges from 2k to 30k.

[All transfers add up to a total of 78,000 yuan. I was 18 years old two years ago. Most people of my age are in school, @Melon-Eating Base Camp @Entertainment Circle Black Material Collection @Rollover Guide. Have you started supporting your parents at the age of 18? Do you earn your own tuition and living expenses?]

[I am very grateful to the nine-year compulsory education, which allowed me to smoothly go from elementary school to junior high school. Since I entered high school at the age of 16, I have saved my tuition and living expenses one by one.]

This was what Lu Zeqing discovered from the original owner’s diary when he first transmigrated. He also called this diary a “Handbook for Part-time Workers”.

It recorded every part-time job the original owner had since high school, including milk tea shop, supermarket cashier, waiter, etc. The original owner had done many part-time jobs.

Later, the number of fans of the store tour videos gradually increased, and he began to make money through soft advertising. Including the French that the original owner later learned, which also became his source of money.

Every transaction is recorded very clearly.

Lu Zeqing took a few screenshots of the diary.

Lu Zeqing had previously wondered why the original owner only recorded income and not expenses, because the money he earned was spent very quickly and he had no savings at all.

Then came the third Weibo.

[I have never snatched anyone’s resources. Before the recording of the show, the company’s tentative person was indeed Yu Xiangjin. But what they asked for was a foil that would not steal the spotlight or act stupid, and they were not allowed to clarify false information. Other artists were unwilling to participate, so I was pushed to take part.]

Lu Zeqing didn’t want to start a tug-of-war, he just wanted to solve it all at once. I also posted a few chat screenshots with his manager Jiang Feihua.

[Jiang Feihua] The company has decided to favor you and select you to participate in the dating show recording next month.

[Jiang Feihua] Come to the company tomorrow to discuss in detail.

[Coke without ice] Wasn’t it originally planned to be Yu Xiangjin?

[Jiang Feihua] He was injured and hospitalized.

The second picture is a screenshot of the salary paid by the company. He recorded three episodes of the variety show and received a total of 20,000 yuan, which is pre-tax income.

[Artists in the company are unwilling to participate in the show because the pay is very low. I think the pay offered by the program team must be higher than this. Of course, if there is a chance to be exposed, artists will not care about low pay. But the company also asked me to sign an agreement.]

The third picture is a screenshot of the agreement.

The fourth one is a notice.

When Lu Zeqing finished his second recording and was called to the company by Jiang Feihua, the company arranged an itinerary for him: take advantage of the red carpet and go to a cocktail party. As far as GG is concerned, it is a company that just had food safety issues last month.

Not long after Lu Zeqing’s Weibo was posted, a one-sided situation quickly emerged.

[Holy shit, so severance of relationships is real, and parental abuse is also real?]

[Can we call these kinds of people parents? You have been earning your own tuition and living expenses since high school, and you still have to give money to your family?]

[If this were me, I would have cut off contact long ago]

[I felt that the parents were talking strangely yesterday. Those who really care about their children would not say those things to outsiders. I feel like they were paid to deliberately spread rumors]

[How come there are such parents in the world? Do such people really deserve to be parents? It’s sickening.]

[What’s more, that person didn’t want to be on that variety show before. Now that Lu Zeqing has become popular, he has started spreading rumors again.]

[I always thought that artists were paid very well. It turns out that Lu Zeqing appeared on three episodes and only earned 20,000 in a month and a half? He will also be blacklisted by the entire Internet and be disliked by fans of other artists.]

[That agreement seems to be to serve as a foil for a certain artist, so who is the person to be praised?]

[I support Lu Zeqing. I also left my original family and am very happy now]

[It seems that Lu Zeqing is worse off. He started to earn his own tuition in high school. Does his family come from some remote mountain village?]

[Huaxing Entertainment always has bad rumors, has  no one ever checked this company?]

[Delaying wages to artists and forcing artists to accept controversial works, normal companies don’t oppress artists like this]

[Similar things have happened before, the company deliberately squeezes disgusting artists and forces them to endure. If the artist wants to terminate the contract, the artist will have to pay the company a sky-high liquidated damages]

[I just checked Huaxing Entertainment, I remember that this company had many disputes in the past, but the results were nothing.]

Finally, Lu Zeqing posted a Weibo and released a recording, only one sentence.

“Lu Zeqing, I have some breaking news about you. How much do you plan to pay for it?”

[This is extortion, just call the police]

[The “revelations” were made after reasonable suspicion of attempted blackmail]

[It’s too blatant, don’t even check this? It makes no sense.]

[I hope that the whistleblower and Huaxing Entertainment will be investigated together]

[I saw that a marketing account has been deleted from Weibo, I don’t think it will be okay if it is deleted]

[It’s okay, us Taro Balls were busy taking screenshots and screen recordings in the group yesterday, there is all the evidence]

[I feel sorry for Qingqing, woowoo, why do he have such parents?]

[At the art exhibition, some netizens asked Qingqing how he learned French, and Qingqing replied seriously. I remember fans also said that Qingqing must have lived in a very happy family since he was a child because he was so gentle. It’s really ironic.]

[I don’t understand, does it mean that the parents don’t need any punishment and it’s over like this?]

[Those who were filled with indignation yesterday, are they going to come out and apologize today]

Lu Zeqing quit Weibo after posting, and the matter came to an end for the time being. He was not sure whether the company or the adoptive parents would come out to argue again, but there should be no solid evidence.

“Have you finished it?”

Lu Zeqing nodded. He felt tired after finishing his work. He yawned and leaned lazily on his seat with his eyelids drooping.

“Just take a nap if you feel sleepy.”

“I’m not sleepy.”

Lu Zeqing was just a little tired.

He didn’t know why. These things obviously had nothing to do with him. They were all the experiences of the original owner. He was just an outsider, but at this moment, he felt relaxed and free from the constraints.

There must be many people on the Internet who feel sorry for what happened to the original owner. Lu Zeqing is not in that mood. He is like an extremely rational bystander.

The Weibo was drafted last night, and the screenshots and evidence were slowly integrated by Lu Zeqing. He recalled a small part of the original owner’s memory in his mind.

Something about childhood.

The adoptive parents have not regarded the original owner as their own child since young. Perhaps in many remote and poor mountain villages, half-year-old children will start to help the family work and take care of their younger siblings.

When the original owner was seven years old, Xu Chen was four years old. Lu Zeqing just entered elementary school that year and learned to cook and wash clothes. Before going to school, he had to make breakfast before going to school.

When he comes back in the evening, he has to make dinner first, wait until everyone has finished eating, then wash the dishes, clean, and finally do his homework.

They are all very fragmented memories, like watching a movie.

He saw the original owner carefully holding the spatula, stepping on the chair, and struggling to stir-fry the vegetables in the pot.

The original owner slipped while washing the dishes and broke the bowl, so Wu Yue twisted his ears and beat him.

The original owner’s first reaction after being scalded by hot oil was not to treat the wound. Instead, he hurriedly picked up a spatula and turned the fish in the pot.

Whenever the couple encounters something unpleasant, they will beat and scold the original owner. They eat three meals a day, and the original owner often only eats two meals or one meal.

Sometimes there is no food for a whole day.

Lu Zeqing recalled the memories belonging to the original owner with cold eyes.

Anyone else would feel that the original owner was pitiful. But Lu Zeqing doesn’t know why, seeing this, he didn’t have any emotional fluctuations in his heart, like a person without empathy.

Lu Zeqing was lost in thought, and a hand covered the back of his hand with the remaining warmth. Lu Zeqing instantly came back to his senses from those fragments of memory.

“Stop frowning. I’ll buy you a Coke later.”

Lu Zeqing subconsciously touched his brows. Did he frown?

“Mn, with ice.”

“I know.” Jiang Siyu didn’t ask anything. “Go to sleep for a while, I’ll wake you when we get there.”

“I’m not sleepy.”

Lu Zeqing didn’t know what he was insisting on.

“Mn, you’re not sleepy. You can always give your eyes a rest. Staring at the phone for too long is bad for your eyesight.”

Lu Zeqing lay down again and closed his eyes.

Maybe it was because he had been looking at his mobile phone for too long that his eyes were a little sore. He was busy editing Weibo yesterday and slept late. He really should give his eyes a rest, Lu Zeqing thought.

…

After Jiang Siyu drove to his destination, Lu Zeqing in the passenger seat had already fallen asleep.

He said he wasn’t sleepy, but in fact he had fallen asleep all the way.

Jiang Siyu looked at Lu Zeqing’s eyebrows carefully. He looked very good when he was sleeping, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelids.

Jiang Siyu resisted the itching of his hands and did not touch Lu Zeqing. He looked very tired. Jiang Siyu guessed that Lu Zeqing did not sleep well last night.

Looking at Lu Zeqing’s sleeping face, the corners of Jiang Siyu’s lips curled up slightly. Lu Zeqing had a little habit that he didn’t realize he had. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would be harsh, but as long as he was coaxed with a few words, he would be obedient again.

Jiang Siyu used to often wonder why he had such an easy-to-coax personality.

At that time, he hadn’t figured out what he thought about Lu Zeqing. He just compared Lu Zeqing with his younger siblings who were both like dogs at home.

That’s what he was thinking at the time.

If he had a younger brother like Lu Zeqing, he would dote on him.

Later, he went abroad for more than half a year to study, and he finally found out what he wanted. During those six months, he and Lu Zeqing communicated through video and voice call.

He would tell Lu Zeqing about things abroad, and he would also ask Lu Zeqing to tell him about things that happened in school. He knew that Lu Zeqing was not good at sharing and would not take the initiative to talk about his own affairs, but as long as Jiang Siyu asked, Lu Zeqing would answer very seriously.

Later, it happened more frequently.

Lu Zeqing would also take the initiative to talk to him about things around him. No matter how small it was, Jiang Siyu always listened patiently.

He always thought that he and Lu Zeqing would stay in touch forever, until the day after he returned to China, Lu Zeqing disappeared from his world.

It was also after that Jiang Siyu discovered that he knew very little about Lu Zeqing.

Lu Zeqing never mentioned his family members in front of him. Jiang Siyu didn’t know where he lived. He tried to send things to Lu Zeqing several times, but Lu Zeqing still gave him the address of the school.

Jiang Siyu went to Lu Zeqing’s High School.

Although Lu Zeqing had graduated from high school at that time, he didn’t know which university Lu Zeqing went to and wanted to ask Lu Zeqing’s high school teacher.

As a result, the school teacher told him that there was no student surnamed Lu in the last graduating class.

Jiang Siyu was a little angry.

They had known each other for so long, yet Lu Zeqing had lied to him for so long.

Jiang Siyu went to A University Film School, which is Jiang Siyu’s alma mater. It was Lu Zeqing who told him that he planned to take the exam here in the future, but he didn’t find Lu Zeqing among the freshmen of that class.

Lu Zeqing lied to him again.
