Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: Fu Ying

Nancheng University is located in the university town on the outskirts of the southern city of Ningling Empire.

Nancheng University, which has produced several entrepreneurs and scientists, has gained recent fame. It frequently appears in the Nancheng hot search section.

However, the recent news about Nancheng University is no longer about famous entrepreneurs donating to the library or award-winning scientists. Instead, it revolves around the daughter of the richest man in Nancheng, Fu Ying.

Even the campus forum has a dedicated section called "Fuying Section," where users can find various information and news about Fuying.

For example, today Queen Fuying entered Nancheng University wearing a pair of limited edition MK boots worth the same as a villa on the outskirts of Nancheng City!

Or an interview with a private restaurant near the school where Fairy Fuying often goes, where the waiter speaks highly of Queen Fuying.

There are also discussions about how much money Fuying's follower, Li Yanqian, might swindle from her.

And why does Fuying spoil Li Yanqian, who comes from a humble background?

Gradually, the number of posts discussing Li Yanqian in the Fuying forum surpassed those about Fuying herself.

People sarcastically envied the "big money Cinderella" Li Yanqian, and some even speculated if she had learned ancient witchcraft to captivate Fuying.

The content from Nancheng University's forum appeared on countless screens when the first episode of the TV series "Apocalypse Duo," with Sheng Yuguo as the lead, aired.

This TV series attracted significant attention even before its premiere because it was a completely unscripted show.

The actors had no knowledge of the world they lived in, let alone the fact that they were being watched by millions of viewers. So when faced with the natural and man-made disasters depicted in the trailer, how would they run for their lives? How would they choose between lovers and friends?

These questions piqued the curiosity of countless viewers. As a result, the premiere episode of "Apocalypse Duo" broke ratings records, surpassing traditional TV series and claiming the top spot.

The screen was filled with barrage comments.

[What? Is that girl named Fu Ying the heroine of this TV show?]

[No, isn't the profile mentioning a heroine named Li Yanqian? Although I don't know who Li Yanqian is.]

[Li Yanqian, I think I've seen her in an elevator advertisement before. She seems to know martial arts and is quite beautiful.]

[That's the appeal of this TV series. Before this scene, the actors had their own lives. Maybe the one named Li Yanqian has become an insignificant character now, hahaha!]

[Wow! This is fresh! I love it, love it!]

In the studio, Liang Mengjia watched the first episode of the TV series she was in charge of and felt satisfied.

"The villainous female character you positioned seems to have a noticeable effect, right?" Investor Wang Weilin brought two cups of coffee and handed one to Liang Mengjia, who was focused on the screen.

"It was a bit unexpected, but it's reasonable. No one knows her character better than me," Liang Mengjia replied after thanking Wang Weilin for the coffee and taking a sip.

"Hahaha, that's great. The audience is tired of watching kind and pure heroines this year. The controversial impact brought by this villainous female character is exactly what I need," Wang Weilin said, laughing. He didn't care about the negative effects the characters might have on the actors in reality; he only needed attention and popularity. After all, being infamous was also a form of fame, right?

"President Wang, rest assured that Ganlin and I will work hard to bring out her character," Liang Mengjia said.

"Well, I trust that you won't let my investment go to waste," Wang Weilin said, continuing to watch the screen. Suddenly, there was a screeching sound from inside the scene. Liang Mengjia also put down her coffee cup and watched with a smile.

A dazzling red luxury car stopped at the entrance of Nancheng University. People passing by couldn't help but glance sideways, and their gazes turned to envy when they saw who got out of the car.

Queen Fuying had switched to a new luxury car again.

In the early spring, when everything was blossoming, a pair of slender and straight legs emerged from the car. Fu Ying casually tossed her expensive bags to the back without any regard and bent down to look into the car. She asked her girlfriend, who was of average height, with a helpless and amused tone:

"Hey, when are you going to get out of there?"

At that moment, the camera focused on the interior of the car. The girl had slightly parted red lips and a petite nose. When she looked up, a pair of oversized sunglasses, completely mismatched with her small face, covered her eyes.

Li Yanqian squinted and took off the sunglasses, seemingly struggling to adjust to the light outside. She narrowed her apricot-shaped eyes, still filled with traces of sleep. If you observed closely, you could see a hint of mist in her eyes. Fu Ying couldn't help but feel envious of Li Yanqian's flawless jade-like skin and jet-black hair.

"Thank you for the sunglasses. I'll return them to you," Li Yanqian lazily stretched and raised the diamond-studded sunglasses she had just taken off her face.

"Heh, you can keep them. I don't need them anymore," Fu Ying walked forward in an exaggerated manner. Why did she use foreign skincare products and her skin was not as good as her friends who still used baby cream? Such natural beauty!

"Hey, wait for me! I didn't sleep on purpose. I'm just so sleepy," the girl pouted her red lips and complained. If she hadn't hesitated to put the valuable sunglasses in her bag, the viewers in front of the screen might have found her cute and charming.

[What? Is this the actress Li Yanqian? What a surprising character!]

[Accepting other people's things like that isn't really appropriate...]

[She looks so beautiful. I almost didn't recognize her!]

[...]

Fu Ying, who continued walking ahead, stopped when she heard Li Yanqian's complaint.

"My uncles can be so difficult. Thank you again this time," Fu Ying said.

"It's good that you know. I'll continue sleeping once we get to the dormitory. Help me hide from the teacher," Li Yanqian yawned and said.

Wearing sportswear, Li Yanqian seemed out of place next to Fu Ying, who was covered in luxury goods. Only from the back could you catch a glimpse of her good figure. Otherwise, it might appear as if Fu Ying intentionally chose to have an "ugly duckling" following her.

At that moment, the camera captured the three girls walking side by side on the road.

"Have you heard that Li Yanqian borrowed 30,000 yuan from Fuying again last Friday?"

A girl said with a look of annoyance.

"Really? 30,000 yuan is equivalent to three years of our tuition fees. Where did you hear that?"

The girl in the middle lowered her voice in disbelief and asked.

"Who else could it be? Their roommates saw it with their own eyes," another girl replied.

"Isn't it wrong to keep borrowing money like this? Even though Li Yanqian's family isn't well off, as a girl..."

He Ruorui frowned, but when she looked ahead again, she was startled. Li Yanqian, who was three or four meters away from them, tilted her head and looked at He Ruorui. The smile on the corner of her mouth seemed to contain both mockery and disdain.

Did she overhear their conversation?

That was He Ruorui's immediate thought.
