Chapter 417: Chapter 418: Leading the Trend Alone

After Aishang posted the announcement on W platform, they released a series of press releases focusing mainly on He Jinxia and then involved "World," blatantly riding the popularity wave of "World."

Other celebrities were also capitalizing on the popularity of "World," but no matter what they did, they didn’t have the influence that He Jinxia, who had acted in "World," held.

Under the assault of press releases and the "Water Army," Aishang had momentarily reached the top ten in the trending search, with the trending hashtag #AishangDengZhaoyanHeJinxiaEndorsement#. The title looked promising until people clicked in to find fans tearing each other apart.

As soon as Aishang’s paid "Water Army" left, the comments were no longer uniformly positive, and the recently quelled rumors of a discord between Deng Zhaoyan and He Jinxia resurfaced.

Well, the fans of both celebrities started tearing at each other again.

When it comes to fans, Deng Zhaoyan had more than He Jinxia.

But in terms of appeal to the general public, the two were almost equal.

A large number of neutrals could only decide who to support based on the celebs’ statements, thus, those supporting He Jinxia ended up overwhelming those backing Deng Zhaoyan.

It couldn’t be helped, especially since Deng Zhaoyan had been smacked hard by scandalous revelations about Wen Ningning~~~

Meanwhile, because they had invited two stars who were at loggerheads for promotion, Aishang had also garnered the reputation of being "refreshingly unconventional" among many netizens.

...

Leaving aside various matters, it was only necessary to know that Aishang had become famous, the kind of fame colored by controversy.

Seizing the opportunity, Tengfei Video followed closely behind Aishang and also promoted He Jinxia’s new work, "High Energy Classroom," satisfying many fans and creating a strong anticipation for this weekly drama series.

The director specifically went to read the comments, and seeing the positive response, he breathed a sigh of relief.

A weekly drama series, after all, only airing two episodes each weekend—he wasn’t praying for the ratings to explode, just hoping it could make it into the top five of the weekly shows, which would leave him completely satisfied.

It was a production that assembled his passions and, in these times, to have passion and make money was rare.

As long as it wasn’t a loss, he was content.

At 7:30 in the evening, "High Energy Teacher" landed on Tengfei Video and officially began broadcasting!

Those who were watching movies hurried to watch the films, and those who couldn’t get tickets idly browsed video websites, looking for new TV dramas. While browsing, a notification about Tengfei Video popped up—

"The unparalleled Dancing Girl from ’World’ transforms into a fierce teacher, taking you back to the verdant years of your student days! If I had such a teacher during my school years, would my fate have been rewritten? ’High Energy Classroom’ strikes with impact!"

Many people noticed the words "World" and couldn’t help but click in, automatically being redirected to the "High Energy Classroom" viewing page.

As the film production company’s logo faded, the figure of He Jinxia, playing Deng Meili wearing a helmet and riding a black scooter, appeared before the audience.

The scooter moved from one delivery spot to another, and onscreen Deng Meili only left a view of her back to the audience as she skillfully unloaded her deliverables, placing the milk into the mailbox in front of the customer’s door.

Meanwhile, a series of actor names popped up, giving the impression of a role reversal.

Generally, the thank you list appeared at the end, but the director moved it to the beginning, creating a movie-like opening. This opening was nondescript and many viewers were willing to continue watching.

As the plot progressed, before long, Deng Meili encountered a thief during her milk delivery.

Deng Meili saw him, her gaze hardened, and for the first time, her eyes appeared on camera.

The little lamb that had seemed so weak suddenly burst into full power, letting out a "swoosh", and performed a beautiful tail flick drift. Deng Meili successfully took a shortcut through the bend and arrived in front of the thief, blocking his way.

The thief stepped back a few steps, his expression somewhat panicked, then raised the small knife he was holding and said ferociously, "Get lost, don’t meddle in other people’s business!"

He Jinxia looked at him, her face expressionless.

"Thief! Catch the thief! Thief..."

From a distance, the owner’s heart-wrenching roar came, causing the thief’s body to tremble. His facial expression turned even more ferocious as he ran forward a few steps, waving the knife in his hand.

"You wish for a longer life, meddling in affairs that aren’t yours, get out of my way!!"

The knife waved erratically, but He Jinxia lightly sidestepped and dodged the attack.

Seizing the moment, she kicked forward and the thief was sent sprawling to the ground. He tried to get up, but the next second, his hand was grabbed and twisted behind him, and Deng Meili pressed him fiercely onto the ground.

With a "ding-dong", the knife in his hand fell to the ground, clinking crisply.

The thief started begging pathetically, crying and sniveling about how he didn’t want to do it, how hard his life was, with aging parents, small children, and a pile of debt in the hospital...

Deng Meili chuckled lightly, asked nonchalantly, "What have you stolen from someone?"

The thief: "Sob, just a wallet. I only stole a wallet, didn’t take the phone!"

He Jinxia raised an eyebrow: "By that reasoning, you were rather easy on them, weren’t you?"

The thief: "Sob, no, save me, please let me go, I didn’t want to, sob..."

"Thief! Catch the thief!" The victim, panting, arrived belatedly, bent down to catch his breath, and walked up to the thief to retrieve his wallet.

After fishing out the wallet, the victim, as if to vent his frustration, kicked the thief a few times: "If I didn’t have to go to work later, I would definitely call the police and send you to the station!"

Seeing that the victim had retrieved the stolen item, He Jinxia then let go of the thief’s hand.

The thief yelped, crying out: "I’m really sorry, I didn’t want to do it, sob..."

Even though he was the thief, he cried as if he were the one who had been robbed.

Deng Meili shook her head, lightly sighed: "This world!"

Just as she was about to walk toward the little lamb, a scream erupted behind her: "Thief!"

Without turning her head, a gust of wind brushed past her ear as the thief, having recovered, brushed against her and dashed straight for her little lamb!

Deng Meili spotted the brown leather wallet in the thief’s hand, which seemed to emit a strange magic under the sunlight.

She laughed sarcastically, one theft unsuccessful and now attempting a second, aiming for her little lamb after the wallet!

"Catch the thief, catch the thief..."

Accompanied by screams and the roaring start of the little lamb, just as the thief was about to ride away, Deng Meili swiftly unlatched her helmet with neatly cut short hair and sharp, delicate features appearing for the first time in front of everyone.

She took a step back with one foot, twisting her hand a few times to build momentum, and with a "whoosh", she flung the helmet out like a cannonball, hitting the thief directly in the back.

With a clanging crash, the thief fell to the ground, along with the bike.

The crisis was once again perfectly resolved.
