Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 103

That night, Sheng Nuan didn’t return to the bedroom to sleep.

Fu Yunxi tossed and turned for a long time before barely managing to fall asleep. Even after waking up the next morning, he still felt a lingering fire of frustration with nowhere to vent.

Passing by that room, he paused for a moment, face cold, and pushed open the door. What he saw was Sheng Nuan fast asleep at the table.

Did she actually work all night?

Fu Yunxi raised his eyebrows lightly… After a pause, he carefully walked in, picked up the box containing a watch from the table, and left.

This is his.

Later that morning, at the Fu Corporation’s senior management meeting, everyone was on edge.

A subsidiary head cautiously reported while glancing at Fu Yunxi’s expressionless face. “President Fu, please give us another chance. We need 100 million. If we can secure this market, things will improve soon…”

Fu Yunxi coldly responded, “So, your so-called solution is to rely on the Fu Corporation as your shield, wage a price war, and drive all your competitors out of business? Once they’re gone, no one will be left to expose your incompetence, is that right?”

Cold sweat immediately poured down the manager’s back. “Please trust us one more time, President Fu. If we receive another round of financial support, we’re confident we can turn things around.”

Fu Yunxi closed the file in his hand. “I think we should just turn your company into a welfare home, and I’ll take care of all of you. How does that sound?”

The manager trembled and couldn’t utter another word.

No one else dared to speak… Today, President Fu seemed even colder and harsher than usual, the frustration between his eyebrows almost becoming tangible.

Just then, Fu Yunxi’s phone which had been resting on the table buzzed.

Feeling irritable, he picked it up and saw that Sheng Nuan had sent him a photo… She had changed into a new outfit and was posing proudly in front of the mirror.

Sheng Nuan: Looking good, huh?

It did look good…

Fu Yunxi’s expression softened slightly. He instinctively thought to lock the screen and set the phone down, but then he remembered last night’s events.

Grinding his teeth, he reluctantly replied: Hmm.

After putting down his phone, he noticed the group of people across from him watching nervously. He suddenly forgot what he had been talking about.

Fu Yunxi furrowed his brows slightly. Next to him, Special Assistant Mo Jie quickly whispered, “You were talking about turning the company into a welfare home, sir…”

The subsidiary head shuddered again…

At the same time, while Fu Yunxi was in the top-floor conference room of the Fu Corporation, a gossip piece suddenly hit the trending topics online.

【’Girls of the Dawn’ contestant in the top 50 acts like a diva backstage…】

The main content claimed that a popular top 50 contestant from ‘Girls of the Dawn’ threw a fit backstage, refusing to let staff touch her, doing her own stage makeup, and even getting into an argument with fellow contestants…

At first, there were vague guesses, then it narrowed down to a contestant with the surname S, and eventually to an S-surname contestant known for her outstanding singing and dancing skills, referred to by netizens as “Little Wildcat”… They were just short of directly revealing Sheng Nuan’s ID number.

Following that, someone confirmed with a staff member surnamed Zhou that it indeed happened…

Soon, people online began criticizing Sheng Nuan.

“Is this diva behavior referring to you?”

“You’re not even famous yet… can’t you just behave?”

“Everyone else has the same makeup, but you just have to be special. Is your face bigger than others?”

Shortly after, a Weibo post was pushed to the top.

It was posted by makeup artist Zhou Jing.

Xiao Jingjing V: In ten years of working in the industry, I’ve seen all kinds of people. No need to worry about me…

She didn’t explicitly say it, but everyone could tell what she was implying: she was the staff member mistreated by the diva.

The comments below were all either comforting her, telling her to ignore the brainless 38th line¹ diva who hadn’t even debuted yet, or encouraging her to stand up and confront the issue directly.

Zhou Jing’s replies were all along the lines of “It doesn’t matter to me” or “Maybe she really thinks she’s famous now,” with clear undertones.

Sheng Nuan was still busy in the villa’s studio when she received a call from An Ran… As soon as she answered, she heard An Ran’s anxious voice, “Nuan Nuan, take a look quickly! Is someone deliberately trying to smear you?”

“It’s fine, don’t worry…”

Sheng Nuan reassured her before picking up her phone and posting a Weibo message, buying a trending spot while she was at it.

Since they liked buying trending spots, great. Let’s all trend together.

Before long, the Weibo post Sheng Nuan made shot up the ranks.

Sheng Nuan V: @Ten years in the industry and still have this level of makeup skills? I can’t help but worry about you! If I go out like this, people will think I’ve turned into a rainbow spirit! Image.jpg.

She attached a photo of the first gaudy makeup Zhou Jing had done for her, a gaudy bar girl look which looked like someone had knocked over a paint palette. The close-up selfie made it even more terrifying…

In an instant, the online tide turned.

After all, Sheng Nuan’s beauty had been clearly seen on the show, with everyone under the same camera. You can’t go against your conscience and claim that she was the only one who using Photoshop.

But what the hell was this picture?

“Haha, what a rainbow spirit. Poor Nuan, getting hit by a spilled paint palette!”

“I knew our stunning beauty wouldn’t act like a diva. She’s way too smart for that…”

“If I got painted like this, I’d be doing a lot more than just acting like a diva!”

“Good girl, is someone bullying you? Tell Mommy, Mommy will go slap them!”

“The trafficker upstairs is trying to steal my daughter!”

Meanwhile, people began flooding Zhou Jing’s Weibo with questions.

“Is this your work? How much did you charge?”

“Wow, with this level of skill, you can still get hired as a makeup artist at Lemon TV? I feel like I could do twice as good. After all, as long as I have hands, I could paint this…”

“Uh, suddenly I feel like Sheng Nuan must’ve been blocking someone’s way. She got painted like this and then got slandered?”

“Sister upstairs hit the truth, tsk…”

“And she dares to say she’s been in the industry for ten years… Even I, a grown man, could watch a tutorial for ten minutes and not end up with makeup like this!”

Zhou Jing never expected Sheng Nuan to buy a trending spot and clap back at her, nor did she anticipate that some of the other contestants from the same season would follow Sheng Nuan’s lead and post their own paint palette selfies.

Zhou Xiaoxiao V: Same ten years, same rainbow spirit…

Yundou V: Same… but I’m afraid to say more, don’t want to get called a diva. @ShengNuanV @YundouV.

Not long after, some previously eliminated contestants also spoke up, saying they’d been ridiculed backstage by a certain makeup artist surnamed Zhou for having big faces and flat noses, while others claimed they were deliberately given ugly makeup…

Zhou Jing’s Weibo completely collapsed.

After Sheng Nuan posted her Weibo and bought a trending spot, she didn’t check again… She didn’t care about a small fry like this at all.

Those contestants had been bullied by Zhou Jing and didn’t dare speak up before, but now that someone stood up, how easy was it for others to jump on the trending bandwagon? Zhou Jing really thought she had nothing to fear just because she’d been in the industry for many years?

She had simply gotten used to bullying newcomers… utterly stupid!

That evening, Sheng Nuan finally finished all her compositions and sent the demo to the submission email.

It was the submission email for the background music contest for the new product launch of the internationally renowned jewelry brand ‘S.Q’. Sheng Nuan managed to send it an hour before the deadline.

She exhaled deeply and headed back to the bedroom to take a shower.

But halfway through, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open…

Sheng Nuan turned around and saw Fu Yunxi walking toward her, expressionless, slowly unbuttoning his shirt as he approached…
