After Lin Shen used screenshots of his assets and photos of his physique as evidence to clap back at the top-comment trolls, the "rational and objective" crowd started appearing in the comments.

[Maybe the OP was really heartbroken by a girl?]

[I support the OP! Surely no one thinks eight million is easy to make in the real world, right? He’d rank in the top three of all the guys I know.]

"..."

Skimming the new comments, Lin Shen couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

’The tides are turning pretty quickly these days.’

’Before, everyone was convinced I was a scammer, and now they’re all rushing to my defense.’

’How interesting!’

Just as Lin Shen had predicted, once he presented his evidence, the narrative began to flip. Aside from a few stubborn holdouts who still refused to believe, the slander against him was largely reversed.

He even received a flood of private messages.

[Hey handsome! Don’t be sad! I work in Modu too. We should hang out and get your mind off things sometime.]

’This is insane!’

Looking at the racy private messages, Lin Shen shook his head and chuckled in amusement.

’No wonder rich guys change girlfriends so often. So this is what their DMs look like!’

’Good thing strangers can only send one message.’

Lin Shen cleared out his DMs, then opened the Big Blue Book to check if he had completed the mission.

He’d noticed his follower count had surpassed one hundred.

[Upgrade Mission: Refute the negative news targeting you with evidence and gain 100 followers (Completed).]

[Big Blue Book Lv. 2 → Lv. 3]

[Reward: Basic Experience Book x1]

[Upgrade Mission: Publish a post about being a "high-quality male" and gain 1,000 followers]

Hm?

’A post about being a "high-quality male"?’

Just as Lin Shen was pondering the meaning of that sentence, his WeChat suddenly buzzed.

[Jiang Wan: Look to your left.]

?

Lin Shen turned his head and was startled to see Jiang Wan outside the car. He quickly rolled down the window.

"Sorry, Jiang Wan, I didn’t see you there. Hop in."

"Alright~"

Jiang Wan opened the door, slid into the passenger seat, and placed the two cups of milk tea she was carrying into the cup holders of the center console.

"Thanks for picking me up. This milk tea is for you. Let’s get going."

"Okay."

Lin Shen glanced at Jiang Wan beside him.

She was once again dressed in a casual and modest style: a plain white T-shirt paired with denim shorts that revealed her shapely, flawless legs.

Even though Jiang Wan had ridden in his passenger seat many times, he couldn’t help but marvel each time.

’The person who invented seatbelts was a goddamn genius!’

’Not only does it keep people safe, but it also doubles as an oscilloscope!’

’Especially on a girl as well-endowed as Jiang Wan. When the seatbelt cinched tightly across the valley between them, it made the two peaks stand out at least 50% more.’

’Excellent!’

Lin Shen thought with appreciation, then spun the steering wheel with his left hand, stepped on the gas, and drove off.

The fourth and fifth scenes they were filming today were the two most crucial parts of the entire short drama series.

After the relationship between the male and female leads heats up, the end of the college entrance exams marks the time for a confession of love.

Except, the male lead is mercilessly rejected by the female lead.

The male lead is heartbroken for a while before leaving for college.

However, their dynamic doesn’t change; the female lead continues to show the male lead her passionate affection.

This helps him gradually emerge from the gloom of his romantic failure.

Finally, after four years of college, the male lead discovers that the female lead has a congenital heart disease.

These two scenes were, in a way, easy to film. Jiang Wan had almost no lines, as Lin Shen would be advancing the plot through a montage of silent shots.

For instance, after receiving a letter from the female lead in his dorm, the camera would shake excitedly before he runs two laps on the track field.

Or the camera would blur with emotion when he receives living expenses and a birthday gift from her.

But in another way, they were difficult.

After all, the inexperienced Lin Shen had to figure all this out on his own, and Jiang Wan was genuinely worried whether he could pull it off.

But Lin Shen had sworn he could do it.

After all, the Camera and Album had boosted his filming skills by 230%.

This allowed him to achieve near-professional results on camera, and his ability to learn the relevant photography skills was also a cut above the rest.

So, after some thought, Lin Shen decided to first film the scene that involved Jiang Wan: the love confession.

He ultimately chose the area downstairs from his new home as the location.

After all, the female lead in the story was rich and beautiful, so they needed a high-end community to establish her character.

"Are you sure they’ll let us in?"

As Lin Shen drove up to the main gate of Sunac Binjiang No.1 Courtyard, Jiang Wan seemed a little worried.

She glanced out the window and saw that the entire complex looked incredibly luxurious. Clearly, only the rich and powerful could afford to live here.

That meant the security would be top-notch and probably wouldn’t allow cars of non-residents to enter.

However, Lin Shen just smiled coolly.

"Don’t worry. If they don’t let me in, I’ll file a complaint."

’A complaint?’

Jiang Wan blinked her beautiful eyes. She watched as Lin Shen drove up to the gate. The moment his license plate was scanned, red text flashed on the adjacent LED screen.

[Welcome home, Mr. Lin Shen, esteemed owner of Building 8, Unit 2102!]

Huh?

Watching the security guards in the booth snap to attention with respect, Jiang Wan was completely stunned.

It wasn’t until the car entered an ultra-luxurious underground garage, complete with a starry-sky ceiling, that she finally snapped out of it and turned to Lin Shen in astonishment.
