Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Coldest Variety Show Opening in History

But soon, people began to question the authenticity of Jiang Li’s bare face.

After all, these days, faux bare-faced makeup can be indistinguishable from the real thing, and some celebrities even go as far as to record waking-up videos to establish their natural beauty persona—seemingly very real, yet even their tousled hair is meticulously styled.

This Jiang Li might have gotten up at three in the morning and hired a team to create this appearance for her debut.

In the livestream room, those who had praised her beauty were quickly replaced by trolls, clamoring and arguing that she give Su Yinwan an explanation on camera.

In comparison, He Yun’s livestream room was much quieter.

Thus, a wave of passersby, who were drawn to Jiang Li’s livestream because of the beautiful animated GIFs on Weibo, poured into He Yun’s livestream after being put off by the hostile barrages of comments in Jiang Li’s.

However, Jiang Li herself didn’t seem to care about this.

After closing the book in her hand, she smiled and responded to the apologetic staff member.

“Sorry, it’s my oversight. I’m used to getting up early, so I arrived a bit early. I got so engrossed in my book that I forgot to notify you all.”

The girl’s soft, gentle words reached He Yun, who couldn’t help but look up in surprise.

He had heard of this Jiang Li before.

Before coming here, his team had admonished him time and again, telling him just to mind his own business and avoid getting close to other guests.

After all, the reputations of the others weren’t good to hear.

Especially this Jiang Li.

Having offended some big shot, her scandal was hung up on the trending searches for a week without being taken down. Her character was also known to be particularly poor, especially in her relationships.

Therefore, she was listed by his team as the number-one person to steer clear of.

So even though He Yun had been taken aback by her unique charisma just a moment ago, he didn’t greet her and chose the seat farthest away from her.

Yet her attitude toward the staff member caught him by surprise.

If she were really as the rumors on the internet described, how could she be so humble and polite?

And her eyes gave off a feeling of comfort and warmth, showing no trace of malice or pretense.

Realizing that he was paying too much attention, Jiang Li tilted her head and, in that moment, their eyes met.

The clarity in her eyes made He Yun startled again, and he quickly diverted his gaze.

Naturally, he missed Jiang Li’s thoughtful expression.

Although Jiang Li’s demeanor earned unanimous praise from the staff present, the comments in the livestream room weren’t buying it at all.

[Used to getting up early? I almost believed that. Is she starting to build a persona now? She’s not as genuine as Mr. He next door, at least he really is professional.]

[I laughed. Since when did the underachiever get so engrossed in reading? And a tattered book with no title, Jiang Li is really putting on a show.]

[She might as well have set up a haughty and unruly rich girl persona. A lady who loves studying and getting up early? Ugh, I can taste the pretense spilling out of the screen.]

[What else does Jiang Li have going for her besides her face? No, scratch that, her face might not even be factory original.]

Because the two guests had arrived much too early, the director’s team, who had planned for everyone to be late, suddenly found themselves in a frenzy.

Only after both of them had settled down did Director Sun finally rush over, holding a cup of soy milk and biting on a fried dough stick.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he hurriedly took his megaphone and sat at his station.

“Uh, sorry for being a bit late. Since the two guests have already arrived early, how about we get to know each other?”

He Yun, concerned whether the camera had caught their recent exchange, tilted his head even more and coldly responded with “Not very familiar.”

Seeing this, Jiang Li just nodded slightly, said “Hello,” and then continued to lean against the window and read.
