A Post-Apocalyptic Boss Aspires to Dominate the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 1308: Self-Directed and Self-Acted, Self-Suffering

(This chapter is a blood pressure chapter, you can skip it. This line prompt does not occupy the paid word count)

Hong Xiaodie wanted to ask "Miracle Qinjian" what the hell was going on.

But when she was about to click "Send" [Why is there no money in the card?], she suddenly shuddered and her finger hovered on the phone screen without pressing it.

Wait, wait, I can't say that...

If I ask directly, won't Qinjian know that she secretly moved the money?

No, no, I can't let it out.

Even though there was an emergency, Hong Xiaodie was glad and proud of her quick reaction.

Fortunately, I didn't send it out!

Well, let me think about what excuse I should find...Hide the pretentious thing and only explain to Qinjian my idea of ​​screwing up sales? Anyway, it's all for Qin Juehao, she will definitely understand...

Hong Xiaodie thought about it while writing a short essay in the memo. After writing the draft, she repeatedly considered the tone and wording, trying to make the text have the effect of convincing "Miracle Qinjian" without making her suspicious.

This should be okay? ——Damn, that's not right!

I almost forgot, if Qin Jian knew that this order was a fake order, wouldn't it be inconvenient to post the screenshot?

If she couldn't post the screenshot, how would she slap those stupid opponents in the face?

Hong Xiaodie shook her head repeatedly, cut out the Feixun page, and started a new page in the memo.

How can she say it to appear very natural and reasonable... half true and half false, saying that she cut the wrong card when paying, and accidentally found that the payment failed, so she came to ask what happened? Tsk, it doesn't seem like the style of "Mrs. Butterfly". She is an elite white-collar worker with super working ability. How could she make such a low-level mistake...

Hong Xiaodie pondered for a long time, and went through many plans in her mind. Finally, she decided to perform a play for the "Miracle Qin Jian" live broadcast, which would look more real.

After making up her mind, she started her own performance.

[River Butterfly]: ! ! Qin Jian, good news, a colleague who is working on a project with me recommended a reliable factory that can order customized support items in large quantities

[River Butterfly]: I have seen the samples, the texture is very good, I think we should choose this one, after all, it is more reassuring to know someone in real life

[River Butterfly]: But you have to pay a deposit first, I will pay it now, and print a batch to see how the actual effect is

Then Hong Xiaodie waited for a few minutes before continuing to type.

[River Butterfly]: Wait, I suddenly remembered that the support is the intention of everyone in the group, is it a bit inappropriate for me to do it all by myself

[River Butterfly]: Or should I use the public account and the money raised?

[River Butterfly]: What do you think?

Hong Xiaodie waited for a while.

There was still no movement in the private chat window, and the avatar of "Miracle Qin Jian" was gray, but Feixun has an invisible function, and Hong Xiaodie was not sure whether her colleague had set the status to invisible or was really away.

But after thinking about it carefully, Hong Xiaodie felt that the former was unlikely. After all, she and Qin Jian have known each other for a while, and their relationship has always been good. Not to mention that Qin Jian would take the initiative to chat with her every day, and Qin Jian would never ignore her messages no matter what she sent, so it is estimated that she is really not online.

... Hong Xiaodie vaguely felt a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange, so she could only regard it as her own illusion.

She continued to perform: [Ah, it seems that you are very busy today, and the deposit is urged urgently. How about this, I will pay the money first]

Then she secretly estimated the time for placing an order and paying, silently counted a dozen numbers, and sent a message pretending to be puzzled:

[Hey, why does it show that the payment failed? ]

She also added details and followed with a sentence: [There may be some bugs, I will try again]

After repeated attempts, Hong Xiaodie sent the screenshot of "Payment failed, your account balance is insufficient" to "Qin Jian of Miracle", and before sending it, she did not forget to use mosaics to cover all places except the message prompt box, so as not to reveal any details.

【River Butterfly】: So strange, Qinjian, do you know what's going on?

【River Butterfly】: It could also be that the bank card has been locked because of too many transfers recently. I had a card like this before

【River Butterfly】: Anyway, please check it. After all, it involves so many people, so we can't be careless

After thinking about it, I remembered the excuse I made before, and added a sentence seriously: [I'll fill in the deposit first. Support is important, and the money is not urgent. We will calculate it slowly later]

OK, this should be fine...

Hong Xiaodie pressed the virtual keyboard and swiped up the screen to take a quick look.

A series of text bubbles filled more than one screen in the private chat window.

The information was clear, and there was a time interval between messages. It looked flawless, and it couldn't be more real.

Next, I just had to wait for Qinjian to reply online.

Hong Xiaodie clicked on the grayed-out avatar and took a look.

Nothing had changed. Everything was the same as before, except that he was not online at the moment.

Hong Xiaodie scratched her hair with her free hand in annoyance.

She had absolute confidence that Qin Jian would reply to her, but the inexplicable strange feeling still lingered in her mind, making her very uncomfortable.

Ahhhhh, so annoying.

Hong Xiaodie pressed the screen of her mobile phone twice, and simply put it aside and turned to do other things.

Control comments, collect data, switch accounts, control comments again, and collect data again...

Even if she rolled her eyes at Qin Jue's childish, ignorant and irresponsible seclusion, Hong Xiaodie still diligently called on all the little fans in the group to actively fiddle with the data under the official account of "Escape Plan" and the official V of "Heart Shadow Link".

Alas, isn't this what it means to chase stars? The main character abuses me thousands of times, but I treat him like my first love.

Spoiling, you can spoil, the main point is to never leave.

During the busy process, Hong Xiaodie was thinking about the insufficient balance of the fund-raising bank card. She checked Feixun every few minutes to see if "Miracle de Piano Keys" was online and whether he had replied to the message.

But as of noon today, the private chat window, which was still very lively, still had an empty left half, with only her own huge amount of messages like a screen full of messages.

She took great pains to act for so long, as if she was acting it all for a blind person.

It was uncomfortable to leave things unresolved, and it was even more uncomfortable to not get a response. Hong Xiaodie was a little angry and felt betrayed by her friend - she had finally found such a compatible relative and friend to share the burden!

Why ignore her!

It was annoying, anyway, it was so annoying.

Hong Xiaodie was irritable and discouraged. She secretly decided that if Qin Jian replied to her message, she must deliberately leave her alone and reply tomorrow.

However, "Qin Jian of Miracle" never made any movement. Instead, a fan in the support data group knocked on Hong Xiaodie's private chat window.

[Sorry, Teacher Die, I saw that Brother Ajue said that he would stay at home for retreat. Does it mean that there will be no offline activities in the near future? qwq]

[Uh, I don't mean anything else. The main thing is that the money I paid for the fundraising was originally intended to be charged for the meal card. That's it. If there is no offline support recently... Can this money be refunded to me first...? ]

[Ahhhhhhh, I'm not quitting the pit or stopping being a fan! Really!! Please don't get me wrong!! I just saw that there doesn't seem to be much need for support during this period, so I came to ask qwq sorry sorry sorry]

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. "Miracle de Piano Keys" hasn't appeared yet, and here comes another ignorant little girl to refund the money. Hong Xiaodie just clicked on the message and thought it was another newbie who didn't know how to do data, so she sent a private message to ask for help. Unexpectedly, the other party said this, and she was so angry that she almost cursed on the spot.

Not that she almost cursed, the curse words in her mouth were actually cursed silently, but she just didn't type them.

Don't be angry, you are the gentle and mature Mrs. Butterfly, the most patient and the best teacher Butterfly in the fan circle, don't be angry, don't be angry...

Hong Xiaodie muttered, suppressed her anger, and replied with a kind and cute emoticon package, and then said:

[I understand your difficulties, baby, but the "class fee" is collected so that we can keep up with the situation in time, so even if there is no activity, the class fee must be stored]

[Otherwise, if I send it back to you now, what if there is suddenly another activity that needs support, it will definitely be too late to collect it temporarily at that time, and this one will be too late, won't it be a bad thing? ]

The attitude is quite gentle, and what she said seems to make sense. There is a little meaning between the lines that "if you insist on doing this, you will cause trouble for Qin Jue". The little fan on the other side is soft-tempered. After being blocked like this, he immediately lost the courage to insist and could only reply nervously, "Yes, yes, okay, sorry, madam."

[It's okay, it's okay, you can understand the seriousness of this]

Hong Xiaodie insisted on her "good-tempered" big fan persona, even if she cursed, she patiently comforted a few words with her hands

"Huh, what a lunatic!"

After sending the man away with much persuasion, Hong Xiaodie rolled her eyes in her bed.

Refund, what refund? She is not the flagship store of Kou Ze Shu Fang on Taobao, and there are seven days for refund without reason!

It would be better if she didn't mention this. When she thought about the refund of the Eagle series jacket, Hong Xiaodie couldn't help thinking about her plan to spend a lot of money to post screenshots and slap her face. Then she immediately thought of the prompt box of payment failure, and subconsciously opened the private chat window with "Miracle de Piano Keys" again.

As always, there was no reply from the other party, and there was no sign of being online.

"Fuck." Hong Xiaodie angrily turned her phone upside down on the bed.

"Be quiet, please." The roommate who had been patient for a long time finally lost his patience and said something.

Play with your phone if you want to play with your phone, who wants to listen to your nagging, and there is not a single clean word in your mouth.

Hong Xiaodie didn't say a word, but turned over irritably, making a lot of noise.

The other roommates exchanged glances with each other, and one of them pouted in disgust.

It has been almost two months since the start of school. It's not that they want to isolate Hong Xiaodie, but Hong Xiaodie herself has a mark on her face. When others see her, she glares at them unhappily. In daily chats, Hong Xiaodie just holds her mobile phone. Apart from copying homework, she rarely communicates with others. Whether it's talking about study, complaining about teachers, or sharing gossip about this class or that class, she basically doesn't get involved. Even if she is asked what she is doing, she will always cover her phone as if she is guarding against thieves.

After a while, no one came to her again, so as not to make themselves bored.

"Fuck." It was only quiet for a short while, and Hong Xiaodie's curse came again.

A roommate who was lying in bed doing homework hit the pillow in disgust, and was gently called by the bed opposite. From the other person's mouth shape, she read "Forget it, don't worry about her", and pulled the corner of her mouth and sighed.

Hong Xiaodie didn't pay attention to these at all. At this moment, all her attention was focused on the phone, and so was her mood.

Why the hell is there another idiot coming to her to return the money! !

One, two, three... Obviously, there are many people who think "the main character is in seclusion, so we don't need to rush to support him", not to mention that the capital was raised suddenly at that time, and many people were repeatedly brainwashed by Hong Xiaodie's rhetoric, as if not paying money means not loving Qin Jue, so they transferred money to prove that they "love him very loyally". Now that Qin Jue has announced his seclusion, the years are quiet in the live broadcast, and these people are gradually getting out of the atmosphere.

After all, there is no notice, no offline support, and of course there is no benefit of "paying money and taking photos with ID".

What if the next time Qin Jue appears is during the winter vacation? What if he can go to the scene by then, and he doesn't have to bother the wives?

Some people think a lot and consider the future situation; some people, like Hong Xiaodie, regret it because they are dissatisfied with Qin Jue's reduced exposure; some people transferred money secretly, and now they are discovered by their parents, and they have to cry and ask Hong Xiaodie for a refund.

As a result, Hong Xiaodie's private chat list was filled with a lot of messages, some of which were sent by parents themselves. When they spoke, the tone of voice was, in Hong Xiaodie's words, "I am sick of your adult smell".

So annoying, so annoying!

What are you looking for me for? The money is not with me!

Hong Xiaodie was urged to be exhausted, and went to see "Miracle Keys" for the N+1 time, but still did not see the other party's response.

No, no, no, I have to stabilize the situation first...

Qin Jue, I said you are childish and unreliable! ! You see, retreating and retreating, didn't this make many fans quit? !

In the end, I am still the one who cleaned your ass!

Hong Xiaodie wrote a small essay urgently while scolding her unpromising main character, and her two thumbs pressed quickly on the virtual keyboard.

Not long after, a new announcement popped up in the group. In addition to Hong Xiaodie's emotional and logical explanation in the private chat window, there were also some strong sentences such as "Class fees are paid voluntarily, no one forced you at the beginning", "Have you heard of any class fees that can be refunded after payment?", "Handle your own affairs, and do not respond to parents and other outsiders who interfere!".

Originally, asking for a refund was only a small-scale matter. Once Hong Xiaodie's announcement came out, all Feixun groups were in an uproar.

The loyal fans of "River Butterfly" immediately showed up to defend their own teacher, "What the hell, what's the point of asking for a refund? What's the difference between this and running away from a group purchase? If it happened in other circles , the whole network would have already been hacked!"

"That's right, Diemi said it so clearly but you still didn't understand. Are you undercover agents sent by the rival to cause trouble?"

"Anyone who has organized similar activities knows how tiring it is to be busy inside and outside. I'm really impressed. Can you please not cause trouble for the wife? I'm tired just watching."

"Touch Teacher Die. What did the teacher do wrong to encounter such unpleasant things again and again..."

Hong Xiaodie felt much more comfortable after seeing the fate of the little fans. She "took advantage of the victory" and simply cropped the preview picture of the support items that "奇奇 de piano keys" had sent her before, forwarded it to the group , and then said:

[The main reason is that many support items have already been ordered, and the factory is working on it. If someone refunds the money today and someone refunds the money tomorrow, then who should be counted as having spent the money and who didn't? This is impossible to calculate. Do you understand what I mean? 】

As the saying goes, "pictures speak louder than words." The group of fans who spoke for Hong Xiaodie immediately became more confident when they saw the beautiful preview pictures. Without saying anything, they sympathized with the wife and pursued those fans who raised objections.

But there are more than just these few groups in the world. Some group members are not sure whether they are real rival undercovers in the support groups, or they just can't stand the style of Hong Xiaodie and her fans. Not long after, complete or fragmentary chat records and group announcement screenshots were circulated outside.

"It feels a bit weird..."

"It does look a bit wrong."

"Doesn't this [River Butterfly] still have some gossip? She hasn't finished stealing screenshots of orders before, who can guarantee that there will be no problems with this fund-raising?"

"That makes sense. She didn't swallow all the money herself, did she? Le."

"Fast forward to the time when the wife ran away with the money!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha you are so vicious."

"I want to watch the show soon, too, hehe, I want to add fuel to the fire."

"Take me with you!"

Some people chase stars just to mix in the circle, and mix in the circle just to show off, compare, fight, and pull hair. You don't have to rush to watch the materials, and you don't have to rush to do the data, but I have to get involved in this gossip/lively/joke.

Hong Xiaodie suddenly ushered in a huge wave of public opinion.

She tried to prevaricate, but she couldn't be real. She was not the "beautiful, wealthy, elite white-collar" Mrs. Butterfly that she performed.

More and more people found clues.

More and more people lost trust.

More and more people asked her for money.

Money, money, money, Hong Xiaodie clenched her phone so tightly that her palms were pressed with red marks, where would I get the money!!!

The money is on the piano keys! She is responsible for it! What can I do if she doesn't reply to the message!!

The bloody storm on the Internet is weak and powerful. Hong Xiaodie is reluctant to give up her cyber identity of "Mrs. Butterfly", and even more reluctant to give up the respect and admiration she has finally gained. Therefore, none of the three options of "openly apologize", "return to reality and pretend to be dead directly" and "confess to the parents for help" came to her mind.

I have to solve this problem myself. Hong Xiaodie thought.

In just one night, the rhythm and direction of "River Butterfly" had changed again and again. She was lying on the bed in the dormitory, but she felt that there were eyes staring at her from all directions, staring at her reaction, staring at her flaws, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Hong Xiaodie was angry and guilty, and she was even angrier because of her guilty conscience.

She deleted and revised, and considered again and again. Soon, a new group announcement came out again. "River Butterfly" insisted on her previous statement, saying that "the support is already in progress." Regarding the evidence that everyone wanted to see, she would contact the manufacturer and ask the manufacturer to return the picture. Regarding the refund requested by some fans, she also said that she could refund, but she had to wait for the reply from "Miracle de Piano Keys" because the form was made by her relative and friend, and it would be easy for her to mess it up if she changed it herself.

Because she promised to refund, this group announcement effectively calmed the turmoil in the group. Most of the people who made a fuss kept quiet. Another group of people felt that "River Butterfly" was pushing the pot, and maybe "Miracle de Piano Keys" was actually her trumpet.

Anyway, it was already very late. According to "River Butterfly", whether it was waiting for relatives and friends to come online or waiting for the manufacturer's reply, it would not be possible to get results in a short time, so the situation was barely calmed down. Whether it was those who were involved or those who were just watching the fun, they could only think about it and wait for tomorrow to continue.

Hong Xiaodie's dormitory had also turned off the lights and the power was cut off. She lay on the bed, holding the power bank that was about to give up, and opened the private chat window with "Qiqi de Qinkey".

When the rhythm started, she urgently sent many messages to the keys, but even though she was bombarded by 99+ text bubbles, the keys still did not respond.

Like a pool of nearly solidified dead water, even if a stone was thrown into it, there was no movement.

Hong Xiaodie opened the chat page and saw a screen that was completely the same as before, and exited in a daze.

After a while, she opened it again and exited again.

After a while, she opened it again.

"..."

Qin Jian, where are you... please show up soon... Oh, I'm not angry with you anymore, please come online and reply to my message soon...

My mood changed from lost and irritable to anxious and fearful, and then from anxious and fearful to aggrieved and helpless, and finally stayed in humble expectation.

Come online soon. Please. Please come online soon.

No one responded to Hong Xiaodie's expectations.

The left half of the private chat window was still empty.

"..."

Hong Xiaodie closed her eyes in confusion and pain, and it was very difficult to fall asleep that night.
