The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 350 I thought...

That's right, the petite girl holding a briefcase with a broken handle is none other than the famous Da Tian Tian from her past life, who could never be made famous no matter how hard she tried.

Notable achievements include, but are not limited to, spending money to have Zhang Yadong produce a music album when he was completely unknown, and also having Ning Hao help shoot a music video.

Or she could spend money to buy a minor award in Hollywood, or spend money to get Sun Honglei, Wu Zhengyu, and Kim Hee-sun to play supporting roles in the movie "The Warring States," or spend money to get into Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" as the female lead.

In short, for Da Tiantian, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Unfortunately, despite spending hundreds of millions, it was all for naught. Although she became famous, it wasn't as famous as she had imagined. The title "Nan Yihuan and Bei Jingtian" stuck with her for several years.

After she gave up movies and started acting in TV dramas, she became popular for her roles in "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" and "Rattan".

Although some of the criticism she received was influenced by personal feelings, her ability to find her own niche was also a contributing factor.

"Small success depends on promotion, great success depends on fate" is just a saying; the key is to find the right niche.

The fact that Xiao Yanzi became a national idol is a comprehensive result of social demand, and it was not without precedent.

Getting back to the point, all of this has sparked intense curiosity among the public about Da Tian Tian's background. Some say she's from an official family, others say she's a kept woman, and so on—it's really hard to say for sure.

But one interesting thing is that, in a sense, Starlight Splendor was created specifically to promote her, and there will never be another one like this, although there was one before.

In short, Da Tian Tian's features are very distinctive, so Xu Jiu Yang recognized her at a glance and was naturally stunned for a moment.

"Thank you..." Jing Tian said softly, then hurriedly ran away, looking quite wary.

Xu Jiuyang felt inexplicably disappointed, but immediately breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head with a wry smile.

Good heavens, for a few minutes he thought the other person would come up to him and try to please him.

Sure enough, once you get used to something, when something similar happens again, you'll unconsciously associate it with something you're used to.

Composing himself, Xu Jiuyang wandered around for a while longer when he heard a voice from one of the shops say, "Young lady, we can only exchange it if there's a quality issue. But your laptop doesn't have a quality problem; it's damaged by water."

A male voice rang out, lazy and languid; one could tell at a glance that he was a shrewd businessman.

He couldn't help but peek into the shop and saw Da Tian Tian, ​​whom he had just met, with her briefcase on the shop's table, looking at the forty-something-year-old owner with a wronged and angry expression.

The briefcase was already open, and its contents were placed on the counter: several brick-sized laptops, which were quite heavy. No wonder she had been carrying them even when the briefcase handle broke.

"Where did the water get in!" Da Tiantian argued. "I've only turned it on twice in the past few days, how could water have gotten in!"

"Oh dear, young lady, water damage isn't just about water getting into the machine; excessive humidity can also cause problems with the computer," the man who appeared to be the shop owner said with a smile.

This is clearly nonsense. Just look at his expression; he's definitely trying to renege on after-sales service.

Da Tiantian seemed to realize this as well, but she was unwilling to let it go, so she glared at the shop owner resentfully.

So Xu Jiuyang went inside: "Are you kidding me? What brand of laptop is this? It can't even pass the environmental test, and you're already selling it?"

Before anyone in the shop could speak, he smiled at the young girl and said, "Why bother arguing with them about this? Just complain to the management office and say they're selling counterfeit goods." The shop owner, who had initially been somewhat dismissive, immediately became annoyed: "What do you mean, selling counterfeit goods!"

"What I mean is, there's something wrong with the CPU in this Dell C400," Xu Jiuyang shrugged. "First of all, the packaging says this laptop uses an Intel PIII-733, but this CPU is often confused with the PIII-500, since their frequencies are similar. So, I have reason to suspect that the CPU in this laptop has been replaced."

"Just kidding, this kind of..." The shop owner gave a mocking look, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"I'll open the laptop's back cover, slightly scratch the CPU model number, and then adjust the BIOS settings to make the frequency abnormal," Xu Jiuyang continued. "Well, besides that, I remember there's another software that can do that too, but I can't remember the name right now. But it's okay, I'll just ask online when I get back."

"Don't..." The shopkeeper's voice was stern, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Just stall for time. The police won't bother with such trivial matters. Even if it gets taken to the Industry and Commerce Bureau, they'll only mediate in the end," Xu Jiuyang said with a smile. "Then, spend some money to hire a few people to bang drums and shout in front of your shop every few days, and also post online to teach people how to avoid certain unscrupulous merchants."

"Young man, is it really that serious?" The shop owner's face was rather unpleasant.

"You just want to dodge the replacement period, right? In that case, we don't need it anymore. Let's just drag it out. Anyway, we'll know whether the laptop got wet or not once we check it." Xu Jiuyang crossed his arms. "It's better for both sides to lose than for one to lose."

"You..." The shop owner's lips twitched, his gaze sweeping back and forth between him and Jing Tian, ​​before finally gritting his teeth with a look of utter displeasure and saying, "Alright, alright, change it, change it!"

After spending ten minutes confirming that the new laptop could be turned on and operated smoothly, Xu Jiuyang and Da Tiantian left.

"I didn't realize you were so capable!" Once outside the computer mall, the young girl finally couldn't help but ask, her bright eyes darting around with curiosity.

“With these kinds of unscrupulous merchants, you have to be even more cunning and shameless than them before they'll sit down and talk to you properly,” Xu Jiuyang said, shaking his head. “So, young lady, if you don’t know anything about these kinds of electronic products, you should either go to a specialty brand store or have someone bring them back from overseas.”

He was somewhat proud of himself. As he had mentioned before, he had spent some time in the map forum in his previous life and had memorized a lot of strange and unusual knowledge, including some related to old-fashioned laptops. In the past few days, he had been collecting some current information to review in order to buy a graphics card, and he had recalled quite a lot of it. He didn't expect to be able to use it.

"Anyway, thank you. My name is Jing Tian. What's yours?" the little girl asked.

"My name is Xu Jiuyang." Xu Jiuyang smiled.

"Xu-Jiu-Yang?" Jing Tian muttered, lowering her eyelids. "That sounds weird. You didn't practice the Nine Yang Divine Skill, did you?"

"Well," Xu Jiuyang shrugged, "I've practiced it on TV."

"Really? So... you're an actress?" Jing Tian looked up, her face full of curiosity, but her hands, which were holding her briefcase, were a little tight, and her knuckles were white.

"Why do you say that?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow.

"I'm from the Affiliated High School of Beijing Dance Academy. I practice dancing regularly and have even considered becoming an actress. So naturally, I can tell the difference between an actress and an ordinary person," Da Tiantian said with a hint of pride, her chin slightly raised.

Then she continued, "No wonder you looked familiar before. Have you acted in any famous TV series?"

“Yes,” Xu Jiuyang honestly admitted, “I played Yang Kang in the TV series ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ that aired during this year’s Spring Festival.”

Da Tian Tian's eyes widened suddenly, her little mouth almost forming an "O" shape. She pointed at him as if she was about to shout, but the briefcase, now unsupported, slumped down, taking her with it as she stumbled forward and crashed into someone's arms.
