The host’s expression was complicated.
This batch of members was really hard to lead.
Yun Wu’s minute was used to speak up for Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu’s minute was used to introduce Yun Wu.
The comments responded,
[A fairy will always remain as a fairy. Lin Shanchu is so beautiful that people can’t take their eyes off her.]
[This show is quite interesting! I’ll remember who Yun Wu is.]
[What kind of iron-like bond do Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu have? It’s a rare opportunity for the former to introduce herself, but she only cared about speaking up for Lin Shanchu.]
[The lilies of my hometown have bloomed again! Hehehe!]
[It’s over already? Why haven’t I seen Qiao Jiaxi?]
The professional host kept talking while maintaining his usual expression. “Alright, now that the final member has made her apperance, next up will be the voting session for the heart list.”
Among the 99 members present, only Lin Shanchu was relatively popular.
Therefore, her ranking on the heart list shot straight to the top.
The person who ranked first on the heart list would have an additional segment to showcase their talents.
The system asked her, [What talent are you going to perform later?]
Lin Shanchu was stumped.
She was just the female lead of a sadistic story.
The plot didn’t need her to be versatile. It only needed her to be a hopeless romantic who was crazy about Lu Shiyuan.
She was just a beauty with no talent or skill.
The system seemed to have thought of something because it added, [Oh, you don’t have any talents.]
“Shut up,” Lin Shanchu gritted out.
The system instantly fell silent.
“There are only three minutes left,” the host announced.
At this moment, another member’s number on the heart list increased rapidly. It was showing signs of surpassing Lin Shanchu’s rank.
The other members exclaimed in surprise.
“Woah! Who’s that? Her popularity is growing very quickly! How amazing!”
“That’s Yun Wu!”
The director’s crew was also very good at causing trouble. They directly cut the frame to Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu.
The two of them were focused on the data on the heart list on the big screen, not noticing that the camera was on them now.
“Did someone hire bots to boost my ranking?”
Lin Shanchu commented, “Someone doesn’t want me to be become the winner of the heart list.”
The comments filled the screen.
[Hahaha! Why are these two acting like they’re in a comedic talkshow? I didn’t expect Lin Shanchu to say such brutal things when she looks so gentle!]
[Does anyone know Yun Wu’s background? She’s a really brave girl who dares to say everything that comes to her mind.]
[The question is, who doesn’t want Lin Shanchu to get first place on the heart list? That person must have been the one who employed bots just to boost Yun Wu’s ranking!]
[The one who hired bots to create a stir in the rankings is too disgusting. That person’s clearly trying to sow discord between Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu.]
[Am I the only one who noticed that the host’s pupils were shaking?]
[Host: Please save me.]
It was too obvious that the bots were trying to mess with the rankings. With so many viewers watching in the live broadcast room, this matter could not be dealt with vaguely. Otherwise, it would affect the integrity of the show.
Now that things had developed to this point, the show’s executive producer, Nan Mu, could only go on stage to deal with the situation. josei
“Hello, everyone. I’m Nan Mu, the executive producer of ‘My Stage’. I just received news that there was an error in the rankings of the heart list. Our production crew prioritizes integrity a lot, so we’ve decided to cancel the winner’s talent demonstration.”
Huo Xunzhou was too popular back then. He was very popular among people who didn’t know him, which had a positive affect on Nan Mu’s popularity as well.
He was the most suitable person to handle this matter.
The comments said,
[It’s a pity, but I understand.]
[Actually, I kind of want to watch Lin Shanchu’s talent demonstration.]
…
The news of the heart list being hijacked by outsiders became a hot topic again.
The production crew had gained a lot of popularity once again. The happiest person was, of course, Nan Mu.
After the livestream ended, the staff had the members go have lunch. Nan Mu asked Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu to stay behind.
“Don’t worry, you two. The production crew will definitely investigate the truth behind the heart list incident.”
“Oh, is there anything else?” Yun Wu asked.
Nan Mu was speechless. “Not for now.”
“Then we’ll?go have lunch,” Yun Wu decided.
After she finished speaking, she turned to Lin Shanchu and motioned for them to leave together.
Lin Shanchu looked at Nan Mu. “We’ll be leaving then.”
“Er… Wait for a moment.” Nan Mu called Lin Shanchu to the side.
“What’s the matter?”
“How long did you sign the contract with the Lu Corporation?”
If he wanted to sign with Lin Shanchu, he would have to make her terminate her contract with the Lu Corporation.
Lin Shanchu answered, “I didn’t sign any contracts with them.”
“Huh? You mean you didn’t sign a contract with the Lu Corporation?” Nan Mu looked at her in disbelief.
Lin Shanchu chuckled. “I didn’t sign with any management company.”
In fact, she had once taken the initiative to mention to Lu Shiyuan that she wanted to sign a contract with the Lu Corporation. However, Lu Shiyuan had rejected her with a look of disgust.
Nan Mu was overjoyed. “That’s great! When the show is done recording, you can consider signing with our company. I still have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first!”
Lin Shanchu looked at Nan Mu’s back as he walked away. The corners of her mouth slowly rose.
After she was rejected by the Lu Corporation, she had thought about signing with other management companies.
However, Lu Shiyuan held so much power in Xu City that no company dared to sign with her.
And now, someone was finally willing to sign with her.
Although Huo Xunzhou had rejected her offer to work with him, being able to sign up for his company was the same.
She was one step closer to breaking away from Lu Shiyuan’s control.
…
When Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu went to the cafeteria to eat, most of the students had already finished eating and left. Only a few people were still eating.
The two of them sat down facing each other.
Yun Wu ate two mouthfuls of rice and looked up at Lin Shanchu. “What are you smiling for?”
“I’m happy,” Lin Shanchu replied.
Yun Wu blinked. She seemed a little curious, but she didn’t ask anything.
Lin Shanchu’s appetite was bad. She put down her chopsticks after a few bites and basically did not touch her food.
“Are you not eating anymore?” Yun Wu stared at the untouched drumstick on her plate.
Lin Shanchu picked up the drumstick and handed it to Yun Wu wordlessly.
Yun Wu was stunned for a moment, but she quickly picked up her plate and received it.
After that, she picked up the drumstick and quickly took a bite, as if she was afraid that Lin Shanchu would go back on her word.
Very quickly, only the bones were left of the drumstick.
What a good appetite she had.
Lin Shanchu remembered the previous livestream and slowly uttered, “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me. I’m not trying to help you. I tend to say what I think.” Yun Wu didn’t even raise her head.
Lin Shanchu was a little envious of her carefree personality.
…
In the afternoon, the production crew assigned the members to their dormitories.
The first assessment and evaluation stage was set to be in a week’s time.
The assessment stage would be prepared by the members themselvess. The production crew would not interfere in any way. They would not take away their phones this week, so the members could still go online.
When everyone was choosing their dormitories, Lin Shanchu went straight to the room in the corner.
When she entered the room, she noticed that it was meant for two people.
Just as she put down her luggage, the door opened again.
Yun Wu walked in with her luggage in one hand and lay down on the other bed.
Lin Shanchu looked at her for a moment. Then, she started tidying up her things.
Yun Wu turned over and lay on the bed to look at her. “What kind of performance have you prepared for the assessment stage?”
