Dusk enveloped the entire land, with the crisp chirping of birds in Wan Tong’s ears, along with faint sounds of people asking for help.
However, due to her brain feeling too heavy, she couldn’t grasp the plot for a moment. She just opened her eyes for a glance and then closed them heavily.
Her whole body was in pain, as if she had fallen from a cliff.
By the time she fully regained consciousness, she was already in the hospital.
[Tongtong, the original owner’s body was severely damaged. Shishi has already helped restore sixty percent, but you might still feel a little uncomfortable.] Shishi’s voice echoed in her mind.
“Mm,” Wan Tong moved her neck a bit, feeling much better than when she had just resurrected.
Only her right leg was fractured, and her left arm was in a cast.
“Tongtong, are you okay?” The door of the ward was pushed open, and a girl with a worried expression walked in.
She had exquisite makeup on her face, a perfect hairstyle, a cute and lively dress with small floral patterns, and a strong and captivating fragrance.
Before Wan Tong could catch up with the plot, based on the memories in her mind, she remembered this girl named Zhang Jiajia.
The original owner Gu Wantong had just graduated from university and became a novice streamer. This Zhang Jiajia is her senior colleague whom she got to know in the live streaming agency. In her memory, Zhang Jiajia taught the original owner some live streaming techniques, claiming to help her attract more viewers.
However, in Wan Tong’s opinion, those techniques were not as effective as having none.
The original owner had a somewhat charming appearance and a hot figure, while Zhang Jiajia followed the route of innocence and purity. When the original owner tried to imitate her by adopting a fresh and youthful style, it only made her seem affected and artificial. As a result, the original owner’s live streaming room never gained much popularity.
Sometimes, Zhang Jiajia would invite her to do joint live broadcasts, and each time the original owner was overshadowed by comparison.
Some time ago, due to the original owner’s appearance, the agency decided to give her an opportunity to sign a contract with an e-commerce platform for live streaming.
However, signing the contract required a certain level of popularity, which the original owner didn’t have at the moment. So, for the past few days, she had been streaming tirelessly day and night, hoping to gather some popularity.
She went to the mountains for a morning walk to relax and then started a live stream. However, she accidentally fell off a small cliff and died. That’s when Wan Tong entered.
Wan Tong looked up towards the end of the bed where a young man was holding a phone and pointing it at Zhang Jiajia. So, they were live streaming?
Sure enough, after Zhang Jiajia sat down by the bed, tears started streaming down her face. “Tongtong, you’re really so careless. You go out to relax and end up doing a live stream. Luckily, you’re okay. You scared me so much, sniffle.”
[Tongtong, it’s time to showcase your acting skills.]
As soon as Shishi finished speaking, Wan Tong quietly shed two tears. “Jiajia, I’m so happy you came to see me.”
Upon seeing this, Zhang Jiajia was taken aback for a moment. The tears that were about to flow from her eyes dried up again.
Holding his phone, the young man listened to the soft yet charming voice of Wan Tong. Unable to resist, he shifted the camera towards her direction.
Zhang Jiajia noticed and glared at him, signaling him not to film Gu Wantong.
When Gu Wantong was live streaming in the morning, there weren’t many viewers. Her sudden fall off the cliff, however, unexpectedly garnered a lot of attention. Reports mentioned that she survived the fall with only broken bones and no life-threatening injuries.
Now, many people were concerned about her condition, and some small media outlets had also covered the incident. That’s why Zhang Jiajia came to the hospital to see her, not only to check on her but also to attract more viewers to Zhang Jiajia’s own livestream.
Zhang Jiajia had seen Gu Wantong without makeup at the company. Although she didn’t want to admit it, she was indeed very attractive.
Now that Gu Wantong had been admitted to the hospital and had no makeup on, her tearful and trembling lips as she spoke made for a captivating scene that tugged at Zhang Jiajia’s heartstrings.
Of course, such a scene couldn’t be shown to the audience of her livestream.
Zhang Jiajia thought quickly and pinched her thigh, causing a few tears to flow. She held onto Wan Tong’s hand and asked, “Tongtong, what did the doctor say? When can you leave the hospital?”
“I just woke up not long ago. The nurse went to find the doctor,” Wantong whispered.
The original owner had studied broadcast journalism, but due to issues with her demeanor, she didn’t secure a permanent position at the TV station after her internship. This ultimately led her onto the path of becoming an internet live streamer.
In essence, the main reason was that the current society overly objectified women. The original owner’s seductive appearance attracted too much unwelcome attention, leading to rejection from many so-called ‘serious and formal occasions.’
After listening, Zhang Jiajia shed a few more tears and chatted with her for a while.
When Wan Tong noticed the boy’s phone, she would occasionally glance at it, but under the angry stare of Zhang Jiajia, he would tremble and move his hand away.
After a while, Zhang Jiajia left the hospital room and took the phone from the boy’s hand.
On the screen, someone was sending gifts. She instinctively wanted to thank them, but when she saw their intentions behind sending the gifts, her voice froze again.
They wanted to see Gu Wantong.
They wanted her to stay in the hospital and see the extent of Gu Wantong’s injuries.
Who are these people? Are they her fans?
Upon closer inspection of the account name, it was indeed unfamiliar. Zhang Jiajia tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, “Let’s not disturb her for now. I can tell she’s not in a good mood.”
After ending the live broadcast, Zhang Jiajia specifically went to check Gu Wantong’s live stream room and other social media accounts.
Gu Wantong’s number of fans had actually multiplied.
At that moment, Zhang Jiajia also began to feel a bit uneasy. She was now considered a prominent streamer in the Taobei Live agency and had consistently ranked among the top ten since joining.
However, she could sense that the agency intended to nurture Gu Wantong, which was why she felt a sense of crisis.
In the hospital room, Wan Tong began to receive the world plot.
The boss Shao Heng, born into a wealthy family, was exceptionally talented from a young age and received high-quality education. He had a natural gift for painting and held his own art exhibition at a very young age. Upon adulthood, he took over the family business, daringly transformed it, expanded the industry worldwide, and became both an artist and a successful businessman, attracting numerous socialites.
However, the current plot has already been altered. The Raider, Li Zhi, has been in this world for five years.
Five years ago, when Shao Heng was thirteen, his parents suddenly passed away, leaving him as an orphan. It was then that Li Zhi appeared and adopted him.
During these five years, Li Zhi managed to raise Shao Heng’s favorability to 60.
After receiving the updated plot, Wan Tong felt a bit melancholic. In the original world plot, Shao Heng’s parents did not die; they lived a peaceful life. Therefore, it’s highly likely that their deaths were caused by Li Zhi’s intervention.
Furthermore, the original owner appeared in the storyline as well. When Shao Heng just entered the business circle, he boldly established a live streaming company. However, at that time, the original owner fell off a cliff and died due to livestreaming. These two incidents coincide and have attracted a lot of public attention.
With the change in the plot, the current Shao Heng has become mediocre. He has just graduated from a second-rate high school, and although he occasionally draws, it’s only to ask Li Zhi to sell it for money.
Since her internship, the original owner has been living across the Shao Heng’s apartment for half a year, but she has never paid him any attention.
However, since Shishi claims that she is Shao Heng’s ‘white moonlight,’ it suggests that he has probably noticed her for a long time.
From her experience, the initial stages of a romantic interest from the boss are often subtle and require some encouragement from her.
Author’s note : About this world—it’s a bit more normal. Saving the boss who has been led astray by the Raider leads to a romantic relationship between an older sister and a younger brother. And, well, that’s the story.
