Chapter 2: Merit of life (Part 1)

[Lin Hu got the internal resources of ‘QUEEN’, and snatched it from Gu Zhisang?]

[It was assigned to her by Qian Zheng! I heard that Gu Zhisang was about to be disfigured due to the injury to her face, and also completely annoyed Qian Zheng, who said that he wanted to ‘rectify’ her. Just watch, Lin Hu is going to take away her post this time…]

Gu Zhisang in the ward was packing her things while listening to the system was jumping in anger in her head.

Today was the day she was discharged from the hospital, and it has been a week since she woke up, but Qian Zhen never came again.

On the contrary, the system sneaked into the large and small internal groups of her brokerage company along the network cable and obtained a lot of first-hand information from the gossiping staff.

These days, regarding various rumors on the Internet, Qian Zheng has neither clarified things to the public, nor let the company’s navy guide the rhythm.

All of a sudden, ‘Gu Zhisang passed away’, ‘Gu Zhisang’s face was disfigured’, ‘Second-tier actresses got revenge for committing crimes’, etc., all kinds of true and false news were flying all over the sky.

In addition, everyone knows that Qian Zheng also used her injury as an excuse to transfer her cover shoot show and red carpet, which were originally scheduled for her, directly to the newcomer under him: Lin Hu.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he wanted to keep Gu Zhisang cold.

System: “Qian Zheng is too disgusting! He even went to Director Liu to replace you of your female No. 4 role!!”

Gu Zhisang had just joined the team before the accident, and she played the fourth female lead in “Legend of the Floating Sea”: Yu Qing.

Everyone knew that the original work of this drama was a popular novel, there were a lot of big names in the cast, and even a famous director personally directs it. It stands to reason that Gu Zhisang can’t be cast in high ranked.

It happened that she had a gorgeous face, and Yu Qing was the number one beauty in the novel, which was why she got the role.

But because of her disfigured face, in the end, this role was replaced by Lin Hu, who became the springboard for the opponent to take off on flat ground.

Gu Zhisang said calmly: “Why are you so angry, didn’t you already know these plots?”

In the original plot, she would be unwilling to see her resources being robbed by newcomers little by little because of her disfigurement.

To save money for plastic surgery, she listened to Qian Zheng’s persuasion. She not only accepted endorsements and advertisements for 35 products, but also often meet various celebrities, spread rumors and insulted the heroine to gain traffic, and become a bug that everyone scolded and stepped on.

After finally saving the money to go to the operating table, the operation failed in the end. The wound deteriorated and she was completely disfigured. She neither looked human nor a ghost.

After reaching this end, she would jump off the tall building and end her life as vicious cannon fodder.

The system: “……”

“Sister Sang, I’m just a little guy who can’t interfere in the plot, and I can’t change anything, but it’s different now, you and I are on the same front!”

With that said, it sent all the collected information to Gu Zhisang.

There were a lot of chat records between Qian Zheng and other people, such as flirting with a married 18th line, cursing a certain singer with a trumpet, inviting sailors, and so on.

The system: “Shall we make this public and let everyone see his face!”

“It’s unnecessary. These chat records can only prove that he is a bad person.” Gu Zhisang said: “Qian Zheng is a behind-the-scenes person and not an artist. After being fired by the company, he can do other things to avoid the limelight.”

“Then what should we do? Are you going to let him target you?” The system was a little unwilling.

Gu Zhisang said: “Don’t worry, there is a cause and effect in the relationship between heaven, earth, and human beings. When the time comes, there will be a way to deal with him.”

The system nodded again and again, “I believe in Sister Sang!”

At this moment, Gu Zhisang clicked the variety show on her mobile phone, when suddenly strange screams sounded.

Then she saw playing on the screen a middle-aged man dressed in red and purple, with wide and long sleeves. He had long hair, his eyes were wide open as he held high his head, then jumped back and forth with a sword in his hand;

The strange cry came from his mouth: “The land of Yanfu, I have been protected by you…”

The barrage in the comment section was very lively, full of ridicule and abuse.

[What is this person doing? Is he dancing? It’s a bit hot on the eyes.]

[I’m laughing so hard, I just searched it, this Taoist Master is singing the “Ksitigarbha Sutra”, but he is simply bubbling words and singing it wrong!]

[Every episode of this rubbish variety show can refresh my three views. He is still in the show but he screams like this, I am so ashamed for him that I wanted to hide my eyes in my toes… …]

The system’s tone was complicated: “… Sister Sang, do you want to participate in this program?”

The program that Gu Zhisang was watching was the metaphysics variety show called “Spiritual Affairs”.

She was about to go to the filming location of the show and be aired as a new resident contestant.

This program used the gimmick of studying Taoism and broadcasting it. It selects a group of strange people who claim to be proficient in metaphysics and then broadcasts their fighting methods on the program while dealing with various supernatural things.

Because it was the first metaphysics variety show in history, the show has attracted a lot of attention since it launched. Its popularity overwhelms all the old variety shows. Now it has run for two seasons.

The third season has just aired an episode, but there were several related hot searches.

But these sensations were purely scolding.

The guests in the past programs each had their hot gimmicks. The group danced around full of ugliness. All of them claimed to have yin and yang eyes, and that they could summon gods through psychics. As a result, their background was checked by netizens.

There was one who was working as a group performer in Hengdian a month ago. And there were even homeless people, pork sellers, and even scammers… …

Some people even broke the news that many so-called supernatural events were scripts set in advance by the program team and revealed the answers to the contestants.

Just like that, every time this variety show starts broadcasting, a large number of people watch it while scolding bloodily.

Everyone wants to see what kind of troubles these fake gods can make, and what limit the show could have set.

In the original text, the original owner was unwilling to participate in such a vulgar program. After repeated pleading, she agreed to Qian Zheng under a lot of extortionate terms and then canceled the contract.

However, after Gu Zhishao received the script for the variety show, she started to watch previous episodes that day. She watched each episode of the two seasons without skipping a minute.

Hearing the system’s question, she nodded, “Of course, I will.”

Now she suddenly felt that the entertainment industry was also good. There were such innovative and meaningful programs.

The system:?

“Taoism is declining in this world, and the appearance of this program happens to be able to promote it and strengthen our sect! As the Headmaster of Taoism, how can I not do my part.”

The system: ? ? ?

“No, it’s not like that. Sister Sang, the producer of this show is just looking for traffic!!”

This was obviously a spoof variety show, and it will do anything for the popularity of the traffic. There was no serious goal at all! The guests in the first two episodes that appeared on the show joined in to become Internet celebrities and bring their goods.

However, no matter what the system says, Gu Zhisang was determined to appear in this variety show.

She straightened her collar in front of the mirror, looked at herself for a while, and said, “Tsk. Your face is really dark.”

The person in the mirror still had a gauze bag on her forehead, a pair of clear and delicate phoenix eyes, skin like spring snow, and a small red mole on the tip of her delicate nose, adding a touch of beauty to her.
