Xu Jinglan, as a representative of the Flight Academy, also had her own presence on the Star Network.
Her competition results from her time in secondary education were dug up and compared to those of others.
Lin Fu deliberately searched for herself, finding only the record of the Big Escape Killing in the rainforest. The only somewhat positive comment was, "A fleeting bloom, perhaps worth a slight expectation, hoping for the reveal of the personal terminal account of the mysterious hero who performed the rescue."
The rest was all negative material.
"Vicious woman, ruined my Yu Yu’s life."
"Beat Lin Fu to death, protect Yu Yu."
"Where did this trash come from, polluting the environment."
One can’t look too closely, or it would enrage one to the point of spitting blood.
Lin Fu took a deep breath, resisting the urge to engage in an online confrontation with netizens.
"How are you planning to handle it?" Lin Fu asked through gritted teeth, smile appearing on her face, "Although I don’t care about others’ opinions and can stay out of sight, out of mind, the butler was right, we can’t let this loss slide."
The butler showed a look of approval, "I’ve brought a professional production team. They will record some fragments of Lady’s training and take some beautiful photos. We will post these on the Star Network from time to time to subtly increase your influence."
As the butler reached this point, a fitting smile appeared on his face, but to Lin Fu, it looked nothing less than sly and cunning.
"Thanks to Lady’s perseverance and remarkable performance at the Eighth Fleet Starport, your reputation is now very good, and you’ve received positive evaluations from almost all faculty and students of the same school. Therefore, it won’t be difficult to turn around the public perception on the Star Network later."
Listening to the butler spouting blatant lies with such natural poise, Lin Fu couldn’t help but want to ask, Are you secretly my arch nemesis in disguise?
Even with Lin Fu’s thick skin, she knew all too well how impulsive it was of her to behead Lady Nora and how badly it had affected her reputation.
The trouble it had caused for Fu Xing was immense.
Though she wouldn’t say it out loud, she felt a great deal of guilt towards Fu Xing. Now, hearing the butler speak , why did the whole situation suddenly seem different?
"Wouldn’t that be a bad idea? Too ostentatious? I can’t just seek the limelight out of spite."
She was in the wrong, after all!
When one has done something wrong, shouldn’t there be a corresponding attitude?
"Trust me, the positive feedback and popularity will bring you benefits beyond measure. This is also the counsel provided by your lawyer."
"Yes, the lawyer that Mr. Major General personally hired for you."
Lin Fu understood, "So, this is to reduce my sentence when the time comes?"
The butler looked at Lin Fu with a hint of reprimand, "Lady, how can you speak of yourself in this way? Words like ’reduce sentence’ are an insult to your esteemed status."
Lin Fu wiped away non-existent sweat, thinking to herself how terrifying this man was.
She couldn’t adapt to this.
"Oh, and Lady’s personal maid has come along too. She will take better care of you."
With a clap from the butler, the room door automatically opened, and Lina walked in, dressed in a crisp professional attire, leading three young and beautiful maids, each holding a tray in hand.
The fragrance of the food wafted through the air, stirring one’s appetite.
"Lady, good day," Lina said with a glint of joy in her eyes as she took the lead in bowing.
The other three followed with equally precise gestures.
"Please serve Lady her meal!" The butler, without speaking to Lin Fu, was like a completely different person.
Stern, restrained, dignified – completely embodying the demeanor of a spokesman for an ancient noble family.
This made Lina and the others very deferential and obliging.
Lin Fu felt completely overwhelmed.
"Lady, please enjoy your meal."
With a slight smile, the butler left with the maids, leaving only Lina behind.
"Lady, would you like to freshen up first?"
Although Lin Fu was hungry, she wasn’t accustomed to starting her day without washing up.
