Lu Zhen took off her earphones, and Xiaoxiao hurriedly handed her the phone.
“Lu Rou’s new style is beautiful. Chang’an City’s number one beauty lives up to her reputation!”
The word “hot” was added to the bright red trending topic, following closely behind Lu Zhen’s trending topic. For a moment, it attracted the attention of many netizens. Some unknown marketing accounts also participated in the discussion and started to cause a battle—
“The Lu sisters each have their own characteristics. Which one do you pick?” “Who exactly is the number one beauty in The Great Wall of War?”
“The new classical goddess, Lu Rou, is too stunning. There’s nothing to say about her beauty!”
“Sister Zhenzhen, Lu Rou must have done it on purpose. Is she cheap? How can she have the cheek to buy such a trending topic? Now that she’s dragged you down, there’s already a commotion online!” Xiaoxiao said anxiously.
Originally, only Lu Zhen was on the trending searches. It was a good thing for the publicity of the drama. Even if the other female celebrities were jealous of Lu Zhen’s makeup and appearance, they could not do anything.
But now, Lu Rou suddenly jumped out and insisted on competing with Lu Zhen in terms of beauty. This was equivalent to handing a knife to those people who were worried about not being able to find an opportunity to ridicule Lu Zhen.
The fans of the female celebrities who were jealous of Lu Zhen began to speak up for Lu Rou, hinting that Lu Zhen was marketing her beauty. They also said that Lu Zhen’s appearance and persona were not as good as Lu Rou’s.
This time, the comments section and public opinion were completely chaotic. It had already become a chaotic battle between Lu Zhen’s fans, Lu Rou’s fans, other celebrity fans, and the marketing accounts.
At this moment, the production team was also anxious. The leader of the publicity team had already begun to scold her. “Is this Lu Rou crazy? It’s such a good thing to publicize Lu Zhen, but she insisted on jumping out and getting involved. She really thinks she’s the female lead!”
In fact, Lu Rou treated herself as the female lead. The cousin of the female lead she played was the “number one beauty in Chang’an” in the script, so Lu Rou felt that she was prettier than Lu Zhen to begin with. In addition, Lu He had always told her that this movie was to make her popular through Lu Zhen, so she felt that Lu Zhen was the actual supporting role!
Looking at the chaotic battle on the Internet, Lu Zhen was a little speechless. She frowned. “Let the production team handle these things. Let’s not appear first and let Lu Rou do it first. By the way, help me book a Chinese restaurant. I’ll treat someone to a meal tomorrow.”
When Lu Zhen went back to sleep and woke up, the netizens were still discussing enthusiastically on the Internet. Although she was not in the top few trending searches, some people with ulterior motives deliberately made this matter big. For a moment, rumors flew everywhere on the Internet. Some said that Lu Zhen had plastic surgery, and some said that Lu Zhen was acting like a big shot on the set.
Even though some of the news was obviously fake, as more people spread it, it looked like it was true.
Xiaoxiao was so anxious that she was about to cry. “Sister Zhenzhen, let’s make a statement. A few of our fans have come down to set the pace. We can’t let them slander us like this!”
Lu Zhen smiled calmly. “What’s the use of explaining? Will anyone listen?”
If it was the 18-year-old Lu Zhen back then, she would definitely not be able to help but counterattack immediately. However, the current Lu Zhen could keep her composure. Which celebrity didn’t have scandals? If she cared so much about others slandering her, wouldn’t she be angered to death?
Lu Zhen had changed into a strapless knitted dress. The slightly tight fabric outlined her enchanting and hot figure. Her full breasts, perky butt, and slender waist were simply the perfect figure every woman dreamed of.
Actually, this long dress was not very revealing to begin with. It only revealed her shoulders, but Lu Zhen’s figure was too good, making her look sexy.
Lu Zhen was about to leave when Lu He called again.
“Zhenzhen, have you seen the news online? I’ve already criticized Rourou. She’s impulsive. As her sister, you have to give in to her. However, with this wave of hype, Rourou has gained a lot of fans. Just suffer for a few more days. Don’t explain anything, understand?”
Lu Rou’s hype surprised Lu He, but when he saw that Lu Rou’s popularity had increased because of this hype, he wanted to sacrifice Lu Zhen’s reputation to help Lu Rou increase her popularity.
Lu Zhen sneered. “Up to you.”
“Oh, there’s also a spokesperson. It’s about esports games. Come over tomorrow and sign a contract. There might be a public exhibition competition in a few weeks. You have to appear too. It’ll be hard on you this month and next month. You’ll be very busy then. Prepare well.”
Lu Zhen’s schedule was already very busy to begin with. Lu He did not seem to treat her as a human at all. He did not even care if she would suddenly die from lack of sleep.
Lu Zhen’s eyes were cold without any warmth as she hung up. When she arrived at the Chinese cafeteria, Lu Zhen had already composed herself. There was no emotion on her face..
