“So, will I be able to receive less criticisms from the public then?” Jiang Yuning asked, pretending to be naive.
                          
“We will have to look at the effect that the <Theory of Tea> has on the public after the first broadcast tonight,” Shen Yichen replied. It was easier to promote and increase the fame of a brand-new rookie artiste as compared to cleaning up and rebranding the reputation of an artiste who had already been blacklisted.
                          
This was because it was useless to spend so much money and resources in generating a new image for her, with the public already having a specific, inherent impression of her. In order to create a brand new image and clean reputation for someone like Jiang Yuning, they needed to be extremely patient, because the only way to create a lasting impression on the public was to slowly accumulate positive thoughts and impressions through her actions. Therefore, it was inevitable for Jiang Yuning to suffer some criticisms at the moment.
                          
“I was just teasing you. I understand the situation that I am in right now.”
                          
“After the lineup of actors and actresses for the new drama is announced, it will then be necessary to start publicity of the drama by participating in different photoshoots and filming. Study your script day and night and make sure to perfect your acting. The drama production will start in less than half a month. Guangying Media is very strict and we expect all our artistes to be disciplined, so you had better not be lazy!”
                          
“I got it,” Jiang Yuning answered as she picked up the remote control and turned on the television. “So, which channel will <Theory of Tea> be broadcasting on? What time is the programme? Wait…forget it, don’t tell me. I think it is better if I do not watch it.”
                          
“Coward!” Shen Yichen said before hanging up the phone directly.
                          
She had not bothered about the ratings of all the dramas that she had acted in before because she had not even been invested in the storyline of the dramas. However, now that she wanted to start afresh, she was really eager to obtain positive feedback and rating from the viewers.
                          
When night fell, Lu Jingzhi suddenly called to inform Jiang Yuning that he was heading back to the Lu family mansion that night as he wanted to help second uncle to sort out matters relating to Chen Jingshu’s true identity as a member of the Lu family. Therefore, he asked Jiang Yuning not to wait up for him and to go to bed earlier.
                          
Jiang Yuning felt groggy after taking her flu medication and she slept soundly the entire night until she was woken up by an incoming call from the young paparazzo at nine in the morning the next day.
                          
Jiang Yuning sat up on the bed before answering the call and she could immediately hear the young paparazzo shouting excitedly on the other side of the phone. “Sister Yuning, your fan base has grown! Your fan base has finally grown! Have you seen it yet?”
                          
As soon as she heard the young paparazzo’s words, Jiang Yuning turned on her laptop and quickly logged into her social media account. However, she saw that the number of followers that she had was still the same as it had been previously.
                          
“You have two hundred thousand followers now! Two hundred thousand!” the young paparazzo said excitedly before sending a screenshot to Jiang Yuning. “Previously, there were only a few of us and the fan club was not as active. There is so much activity on the fan club right now because you have officially gained another two hundred thousand fans today! Do you know what the secret weapon that has helped you to gain these followers is?”

                          
 
The young paparazzo sent her a screenshot taken from the broadcast of <Theory of Tea> yesterday.
                          
In the picture, there was fog in the background and Jiang Yuning looked extremely refined and charming as she was pouring tea out of a teapot.
