Chapter 168: Chapter 168: High Expectations

Besides Lai Yuaner, Tang Li could not think of anyone else who would be so eager to suppress her.

At noon, outside the villa, she saw Lai Yuaner; by now, Lai Yuaner must have already known that she was going to star in the drama version of "Original Sin".

Below the official Weibo of the film version of "Original Sin", the ID "Na Loves Yuanyuan" belongs to a veteran of Lai Yuaner’s fan club, claiming to live in Belgium, but in fact, it is just a secondary account maintained by Shen Na.

Including "Yong Chunzi", also on the list managed by Shen Na’s Weibo account.

This was a secret Tang Li discovered in her past life when she picked up Shen Na’s cellphone.

By evening, netizens had leaked information about the school Tang Li attended.

Suddenly, terms like "Diploma Mill", "Connection Admission", and "Unspoken Rules" were all directed at Tang Li.

Perhaps it was the incident on the school forum before that made Lai Yuaner’s side have some scruples.

This time, though satirical and insulting towards Tang Li, they no longer specifically named her, only using suggestive language, and comments mentioning Tang Li’s name only involved questioning without any personal attacks.

Even so, Tang Li was nearly blackened to the extreme.

Below the official Weibo of the drama "Original Sin", there were thousands of comments demanding Tang Li be replaced.

Gao Wenlan’s author Weibo was not spared either, with fans expressing their withdrawal and refusal to support Xu Yuan’s new book, even Guan Xiao’s side was bombarded by the water army.

"Why don’t we hire some paid posters too?" Wu Xuehan couldn’t help but suggest.

Tang Li, just after showering and drying her hair with a towel, responded: "If I go and hire paid posters now, and a lot of praise for me suddenly appears online, it would just give the other side an opportunity to claim that I am hyping myself, then I might really be targeted by everyone online."

This made a lot of sense.

Wu Xuehan agreed internally, but still couldn’t help worrying: "I’m afraid their actions will affect your state of mind while filming."

What if the crew believes these rumors and ostracizes Ah Li?

With the water army making such a fuss, she was really afraid that the producers could not withstand the pressure and might actually remove Ah Li from the project, considering Ah Li is just a newcomer without fame.

Tang Li turned around and reassured Wu Xuehan: "This kind of public attack is child’s play in the entertainment industry. It’s just the beginning. If I can’t withstand this, I won’t be able to survive in this circle in the future."

Wu Xuehan: "Can we really just ignore these comments?"

"Let them continue if they want." Tang Li said, smiling wryly: "Look at it from another angle; there’s actually a silver lining. I was originally an unknown newcomer, but now thanks to their stir, I at least gained some recognition."

If she were still the 19-year-old country girl from Diannan who came to the Capital in search of relatives as seen through Lai Yuaner’s eyes, she might indeed have retreated due to the pressure of public opinion.

Unfortunately, when she woke up that night, she was destined to no longer be her former self.

The next afternoon, Tang Li showed up at the crew site, and the staff treated her as usual, not alienated by the online public opinion.

After Tang Li arrived, Director Fan called her aside for a discussion.

"I’ve sent the video of your scene with Guan Xiao to President Zhang, he is very satisfied with your portrayal of Ying Xuaner, and so are several other executives. Even if there were initial concerns, they now trust President Zhang’s choice." Director Fan’s gaze was filled with hope as he looked at Tang Li: "Just focus on filming well, ignore everything else. Proving yourself is simple, let your talent do the talking."
