Chapter 6: The Gentle Leading Man x The Dark Scarlet Rising Star
Su Tang paused for a moment, then continued walking forward with a composed demeanor.
“Ah—” Wen Tian suddenly screamed from behind and then fell heavily beside Su Tang.
Su Tang turned around in surprise and quickly went to help her up. “Sister, what happened? Did your dress trip you? Oh dear, how could you be so careless?”
Wen Tian’s face instantly flushed red. She had initially seen that the camera on the road ahead was still recording, with live comments scrolling across the screen. So, she had planned to trip Su Tang under the cover of her dress. However, she hadn’t expected Su Tang to be so strong—Su Tang had actually hooked her foot and kept walking forward. Panicking, Wen Tian tried to pull her foot back but ended up falling flat on her face.
“Tiantian, Tiantian, are you alright?” Su Tang helped Wen Tian up and brushed the dust off her dress.
Wen Tian’s face turned green with anger, but she couldn’t just shrug off Su Tang’s hand in public. People quickly gathered around, expressing concern. Wen Tian had no choice but to wave them off, insisting she was fine and had only taken a tumble.
Because Wen Tian hid the truth, no one saw the interaction between the two; they only witnessed her inexplicably falling over.
Lonely_pp: “Whose dress is this? How could it cause someone to fall?”
Nicholas Zhao II: “Right? The design seems really impractical.”
Hulala: “I have to admit, Su Tang is not only beautiful but also quite kind, if we overlook her past odd behaviors…”

Eleven: “Indeed, I’m starting to become a fan…”
Little Ear Tutu: “Agree with the above…”
Calm Heart: “Me too…”

Wen Tian glared at the comments with a sullen face, while Su Tang thoughtfully supported her back to the car.
Su Tang’s caring actions during the livestream, along with the video of her helping Wen Tian back to the car, quickly trended online.
Instantly, discussions about Su Tang flooded the internet—some were abusive, others praised her and even became fans.
At the same time, Zhang Chengwen’s fans sparked furious backlash from other fanbases, especially Yang Xi’s supporters.
The trending hashtag criticizing the brand’s dress, fueled by Wen Tian’s fans, also sparked heated debates.
For a moment, the online atmosphere was exceptionally lively. Meanwhile, Su Tang’s previous scandals with Wang Zihao and Zhang Chengwen unraveled without a fight.
As Zhang Chengwen’s fans raged, many bystanders thought he was trying to ride Su Tang’s wave of popularity—after all, at the same level of fame, Su Tang clearly had much more buzz.

As soon as Su Tang sat in the nanny van, she immediately saw the dark-faced manager sitting in the front passenger seat. She ignored him and closed her eyes to rest quietly.
The manager snapped angrily, “I’m telling you, Su Tang, if you’re disobedient like this again, you might as well go home and farm.”
“If you dare go against me one more time, believe me, I’ll blacklist you!” Although Su Tang had nearly monopolized the trending charts by herself this time, the manager was furious at her defiance.
Su Tang slowly opened her eyes, looking coldly at the manager. “Go ahead and blacklist me. Don’t forget who’s currently making money and supporting the company! Believe me, if I’m unhappy, I’ll make you go farm instead.”
The manager was momentarily speechless, his face turning a dark shade of purple. Yet, deep down, he was somewhat intimidated because Su Tang’s words were undeniably true.
After a moment, the manager tossed a document at Su Tang with a scowl. “This is the schedule for the Survival Battle show in a few days. It highlights what you need to do. Study it carefully and don’t mess up again.”
