Chapter 405: Bad Internet Celebrities Become Good People 1
A damp and musty smell penetrated into the nose, making it unbearable.
Lingyao opened her eyes and saw a messy room.
The room is not small and the decoration is not bad.
But it was this dirty and messy environment that made Lingyao unbearable.
The clothes on the bed have been piled there for who knows how many days without being washed, and the takeout boxes on the table emit a foul smell.
The wine bottles were scattered all over the floor.
On the computer screen in front of her, an interview with a person was playing in a loop.
The original owner was named Xie Lingyao, and was a professional cartoonist.
Except for those who have made it to the top in the cartoonist industry, the rest of the lower-level cartoonists are basically doing it for the love of their lives.
Although the original owner's family background was not the best, it was not bad either.
Because she herself has severe social anxiety, she is unwilling to go out to work after graduation.
So I started drawing comics at home.
At the beginning, I just painted casually and made almost no income.
Fortunately, the original owner's family had no problem raising her, so the original owner never gave up.
Hard work pays off, and the original owner was gradually able to earn some meager income from painting.
But they are all scattered and there is no fixed number.
Until half a year ago, the original owner just submitted his work to several comic companies via email with a try-it attitude.
Finally, I received a reply from one of the companies.
Said he was attracted by her work.
But the other party requires a face-to-face meeting on specific cooperation matters.
The original owner had a social phobia for thousands of years. He didn't dare to open the door even when ordering takeout. He would wait for the delivery man to leave at the door before he dared to go out.
Every time I go out, I wear a mask, hat, and glasses to disguise myself.
Asking her to go out and interview strangers was harder than drawing a cartoon.
So the original owner asked her roommate, Gu Daiyun, who she had taken in for a while, to help her go to the interview.
Gu Daiyun came back from the interview and told the original owner that things were going smoothly.
The original owner was very happy and bought Gu Daiyun a set of high-end skin care products that she usually couldn't afford to buy to express her gratitude.
Things went smoothly just as Gu Daiyun said.
In the subsequent interviews, it was usually Gu Daiyun who went to have the talks and then relayed the information to the original owner.
As usual, the signed contract was sent to the original owner, and the original owner signed the contract personally and sent it back.
The original owner sent both the first draft and the original draft of the comic to the other party as Gu Daiyun had told her.
Then wait patiently for the follow-up reply.
As a result, while she was waiting for a reply, she saw that her work had been posted on another company's website.
However, the author's signature was not hers, but a person named Ru Chu.
This work, on which she had put so much effort, quickly became a hit and instantly became the number one bestseller on that website.
The original owner called Gu Daiyun to ask what was going on, but Gu Daiyun's phone was not connected.
I guess he knew that the original owner had severe social anxiety and couldn't do anything.
Gu Daiyun never thought about keeping a low profile.
I never thought of hiding her as before.
Thanks to the popularity of Xie Lingyao's comics, two more books were published in succession.
Although it was criticized for not being as amazing as the first book and the painting style was often poor.
But because the first book already had a strong fan base, the subsequent two books, although not as outstanding, still sold well.
Playing on the desktop computer is a video of Gu Daiyun's recent interview.
Gu Daiyun has a pretty appearance and dresses very elegantly because he makes a lot of money.
He's wearing branded clothes from head to toe.
We will never see the appearance of Gu Daiyun again, who once had to rely on Xie Lingyao for support for a period of time because he had no place to live.
The guy standing next to her, on the other hand, looked pretty good, with the standard pretty face.
According to the introduction in the video, this boy is a well-known internet celebrity.
I am also a fan of Gu Daiyun. I became a fan of Gu Daiyun since his first book "Beauty on the Left".
This book "Beauty on the Left" is the work of the original owner.
Later, after the two got to know each other, they naturally became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Gu Daiyun in the video looks very happy.
The original owner had his work stolen by Gu Daiyun and thought about exposing her online. However, as soon as the post was published, he was criticized by a group of Gu Daiyun's book fans.
He said that the original owner was having wild ideas and asked if he had forgotten to take medicine.
The original owner wanted to use legal means to get his work back.
After consulting a lawyer, she found out that all her manuscripts had been sent out as Gu Daiyun had instructed, and even the first draft was not kept.
She thought that after the work was published, she could get the drafts back, so she didn't take so much precautions.
Legal means are also difficult to implement.
After hitting a wall everywhere, the original owner tried to create a new work.
However, after Gu Daiyun's fame soared, the comics circle was flooded with news about her.
The original owner was too eager to create something to prove himself.
The state becomes increasingly unbalanced in the later stages.
It’s such a vicious cycle, and I’ve ended up living like this.
Lingyao stood up, and the first thing she did was to open the curtains.
I don’t know how long it has been since this room has seen light of day.
Then I called a housekeeper through the app to come and clean the house.
She went out for a walk by herself.
It is early spring now, and the cool spring breeze blowing on people's faces is very comfortable.
Lingyao took only two steps before sitting down on a bench next to the park.
"Host baby, take two more steps, two more steps..."
Su Fu suddenly appeared and whispered in Lingyao's ear.
Lingyao turned a deaf ear.
"If you ask me to take two more steps, I will take two more steps. What level are you?"
Bao Fu took a deep breath and said, "There's a little cutie ahead!"
Lingyao stood up from the stool.
With a stern face, she said, "This stool is cold. I'd better stand up and walk around!"
Rich as a whim: “…” If the host baby doesn’t pretend, he will die!
The spring rain has been long and there was a light rain yesterday. The path beside the garden alley is muddy.
A figure was pacing at the intersection, walking back and forth.
Lingyao had a serious look on her face, and her eyes looked around from time to time.
Just didn't find any suspicious targets.
"Fugui, where's my little cutie!"
Baofu: "...Please look down at the host baby."
Lingyao read on along with the words about getting rich quickly.
Oh my god! What is the relationship between this little clay figure and her little cutie! ?
