After Jiang Mengmei left in a huff, she called Li Jing.
Li Jing, seeing how popular she had become recently, was much more amiable. Upon hearing that Jiang Mengmei wanted to move into the company's employee dormitory, she arranged a room without any hesitation.
After moving into the new room, Jiang Mengmei discovered that two other people lived there, and both were contestants from the show.
The two women were also surprised to see Jiang Mengmei, as they believed she should be living in a mansion.
"Mengmei, why are you squeezing into a small apartment here instead of staying in your family's mansion?" one of them asked.
Jiang Mengmei smiled, "I just want to experience what it's like to share a living space."
Another person, full of curiosity and excitement, said, "Miss, where are your luggage? Let us see what skincare products you use."
Jiang Mengmei's heart skipped a beat, but she feigned surprise, "Oh no, I forgot to pack my luggage."
The person who asked looked speechless and said to the other, "As expected of a rich lady, she doesn't even pack her own luggage."
"Then have your butler send it over. I want to see what a wealthy family's butler is like. Are they like those in the TV shows, wearing tuxedos, white gloves, and speaking super coolly?"
Jiang Mengmei inwardly sneered, cursing them as poor. Outwardly, she put on a troubled expression, "Never mind, I'll buy my own later. I don't want my family to know I'm living here, so I ran away secretly. They don't approve of me entering the entertainment industry."
"If I had hundreds of billions like you, I wouldn't enter the entertainment industry either. I'd just lie around all day and travel the world."
Jiang Mengmei pretended to look at the rooms and bid them farewell. Entering the room and seeing the emptiness, she was filled with anger and frustration.
At this moment, Li Jing sent her another list, also featuring various luxury brands, and asked her to prepare them as soon as possible for interviews and commercial shoots the next day.
Jiang Mengmei's heart trembled as she looked at the clothes and jewelry worth over ten million yuan. However, opening Weibo and seeing many topics about herself, and reading the comments envying her, her vanity overcame reality.
After thinking for a moment, she quickly took out her phone, opened a shopping website, and bought all the clothes, jewelry, skincare products, and a phone in one go. This cost another ten million yuan.
The thrill of such enormous spending made it impossible for her to stop. She thought about it and bought a few of her favorite clothes, as well as bags, shoes, and so on. From small hair accessories to even a car, although it was rented, the rental fee for a luxury car was not cheap. All of this added up to over five million yuan.
In just one hour, another fifteen million yuan was gone.
Meanwhile, at home, Jiang Mengran finally breathed a sigh of relief after signing the contract. However, before the lawyer even left her house, she suddenly remembered something. With Jiang Mengmei's personality, she would definitely not let this go.
She frantically opened her phone's consumption records and her heart sank. Jiang Mengmei had spent another fifteen million yuan.
Jiang Mengran cursed as she canceled the family binding function. Only after all accounts were unbound did she call Jiang Mengmei.
Unfortunately, her call couldn't go through. Jiang Mengmei had blocked her number when she left home.
Jiang Mengran was so furious that she smashed everything in the room, but it didn't help. She then stormed into Jiang Mengmei's room, saw all the luxury goods, and decided to move everything into her own room.
The money was hers, and even if things were bought, these clothes should be hers.
After moving for more than half an hour, she had emptied the room of all the luxury items. Then, she locked Jiang Mengmei's room from the outside, changed the password for the main door, and blocked all of Jiang Mengmei's related communications.
Thus, the sisters had completely fallen out.
As for the newly spent fifteen million yuan, Jiang Mengran thought about it and called Gu Si again. To her surprise, the call indicated an invalid number.
She tried calling several other numbers belonging to people close to Gu Si, but they all indicated invalid numbers. At this moment, Jiang Mengran felt complete despair and hated Jiang Mengmei to the bone, because nothing could drive a person crazier than the betrayal of their closest kin.
...
Jiang Mengmei kept buying and buying until she received a notification that her family card had been unbound.
However, seeing the spoils she had acquired, she was still very happy. What made her even happier was that after filming a commercial the next day, Li Jing gave her a script.
"Although it's a small-budget web drama, it's definitely enough for you. You should study the script well during this time."
Jiang Mengmei completely trusted Li Jing from then on and jumped with joy, "Thank you, Sister Li. I will act well."
Li Jing's words were blunt, "I got this script through my connections. Although you have some fame now, don't forget that I gave you all of this. Without me, would you be where you are today? From now on, just listen to me. Do as I tell you. As long as you behave, I guarantee you'll become incredibly famous."
Although Jiang Mengmei felt a bit uncomfortable hearing this, she thought about how she would be adored everywhere she went and how she could show off to Jiang Mengran, making it impossible for Jiang Mengran to even acknowledge her.
With this thought, Jiang Mengmei happily nodded, "Sister Li, just arrange it. I'll listen to everything you say."
Li Jing nodded with satisfaction and handed Jiang Mengmei two cards, one a business card and the other a room key.
"Tonight at seven o'clock, I've arranged for a distinguished guest. He will be your future sugar daddy. Serve him well, and you'll have endless good resources in the future."
Jiang Mengmei was stunned, her expression somewhat complex, "Sister Li..."
Seeing her expression, Li Jing knew what she was thinking and said with a sneer, "I shouldn't have to teach you how to treat a sugar daddy, should I? Do you still want to stand at the pinnacle? Do you want to be admired by everyone? Of course, if your family is truly capable of finding resources for you, then do as you please."
The last sentence left Jiang Mengmei speechless. After a long silence, she put the room key and business card into her bag and made up her mind, "Okay, I'll go."
...
At seven o'clock that evening, Jiang Mengmei arrived at the hotel as scheduled. She served diligently all night, receiving a million yuan on the spot, and was even promised an endorsement.
Jiang Mengmei was overjoyed. The next day, she slept until late morning before happily heading to the company, ready to share the good news with Li Jing.
However, as she entered the office, she was met with various strange glances.
Jiang Mengmei, not understanding why, hurried to Li Jing's office. As she pushed the door open, she heard Li Jing cursing, and her phone was thrown onto the desk.
"Sister Li, what's wrong?" she asked cautiously as she entered the office.
Li Jing's brows immediately shot up. She grabbed a file from the desk and threw it at Jiang Mengmei, "You, Jiang Mengmei! What did I tell you back then? I told you never to hide anything from me! And you, you've been pretending to be a rich second-generation really well, haven't you? You even fooled me! Look at how they're all scolding you online! Look at what you've done!"
Jiang Mengmei was completely bewildered. She picked up the file from the floor, which was the next outfit coordination Li Jing had planned for her.
After a moment of daze, she quickly opened her phone and saw that her Weibo followers had dropped by over three million. Below the photos of her driving luxury cars and living in mansions, all the comments were calling her a liar.
Jiang Mengmei held her breath, her hands trembling as she searched for keywords. Soon, she understood the reason. All her consumption records, loan records, and other information had been exposed.
Her persona as a wealthy heiress crumbled instantly.
Jiang Mengmei stared blankly, her eyes wide. After a long while, she slumped to the floor, her eyes vacant as she looked at the abusive comments in her fan group. Her ranking on the show had also dropped from fifth to near the bottom.
