No matter if it was the photography technique or the verbatim excerpts from her interview, all of them left her quite satisfied.
"The photos turned out rather well."
Neither the lighting nor the post-production editing could easily be faulted.
Mu Ziwei flipped through the comments below for quite a while, nearly all the netizens expressed their Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
When she inadvertently glanced at the other entries on the trending search list, the one ranked fourth, "Tang Shu Clout Chasing," suddenly caught her eye.
Seeing that name three times in one day, Mu Ziwei frowned in annoyance and reluctantly clicked on the message with a sense of suffocation in her heart.
The first photo to pop up was somewhat similar to the one she had just seen of herself, the only difference being the addition of a figure with an excellent build by her side, and this person was none other than Tang Shu.
The photographer’s work was of high quality, and because of the angle, only half of each protagonist’s face was shown. Yet even with just half a face, Tang Shu’s delicate features were exposed for all to see.
Is this... when we encountered each other at the entrance?
[Honestly speaking, Tang Shu’s face is truly beautiful, such an amazing presence!]
[It’s actually quite good, isn’t it? You can’t find many faces of this caliber in the entire entertainment industry!]
[Sobbing, so much collagen, it’s almost spilling out~~~~~]
[Such a lovely person, why choose to walk these crooked paths? Sigh——]
[Chasing trends, this look seems to carry no ulterior motives, but appears more youthful and vibrant, is she scheming or not?]
It was undeniable that when the two of them appeared in the same frame, Mu Ziwei’s beauty was greatly diminished, not only because her facial features couldn’t compare to Tang Shu’s, but also because she was no longer young.
The subject herself was scrolling through the netizens’ comments, feeling extremely vexed.
Although most comments sided with her, confirming Tang Shu’s clout chasing, the occasional "Tang Shu’s beauty is so good" comments still kindled an evil flame in Mu Ziwei’s heart.
The door to the dressing room opened, and Wang Zheng walked in smiling; what he saw was this very scene.
"What’s wrong, who has upset you this time?"
"Why is Tang Shu also on the trending search list?"
Mu Ziwei, furious, threw her phone onto the sofa and crossed her arms, looking extremely irritated.
Wang Zheng was momentarily taken aback and then laughed, "She has outshined you several times, don’t you want to retaliate?"
"Was it your doing?!"
Mu Ziwei was no fool; having been around the block in the entertainment circle, she had become quite shrewd and knew immediately what he meant.
"Of course, now is the best time to strike back."
Wang Zheng froze again, standing in front of her somewhat taken aback.
"I said, take down the trending search, and if there are any paid posters, withdraw them too."
Mu Ziwei’s words were decisive, her attitude very firm.
She had her own considerations for the audition today and didn’t tell Wang Zheng everything, but that didn’t mean she was oblivious to the implications of the current situation. Wang Zheng thought Tang Shu was going to the audition, and thus wanted to set in stone the notion of her clout chasing, but only she knew it was no coincidence.
Now that the heat was on, Tang Shu only needed a single statement to defuse the current crisis; when that happened, not only could it flip the unfavorable situation, it might even attract another wave of fans.
This was not the scenario Mu Ziwei wanted to see.
She still had no idea why Tang Shu ended up sitting on the judges’ panel.
