Chapter 249: I’ve Been Petty For A Long Time, And You Know That

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Nan Mu was so solicitous that Lu Shiyuan felt like he had struck a bad deal.

However, he quickly suppressed this strange feeling.

He felt at ease when he thought that Lin Shanchu would be exasperated after seeing Xia Jinmeng sucessfully forming a group later.

“Just a normal rank will do.” “Okay, take care, President Lu.”

Nan Mu watched Lu Shiyuan leave.

After the door closed, he picked up the contract and kissed it hard.

“Thank you for nature’s gift!”

He thought about it and felt that something was wrong. “No, thanks Shanshan for the gift. Hehe.”

Nan Mu put the contract away and took out his phone to call Huo Xunzhou.

“Are you here yet?”

“I’ve arrived.”

Huo Xunzhou could hear the excitement in Nan Mu’s voice. “What happened?”

“Lu Shiyuan sponsored ten million yuan for our new project. Hahahahaha…’ Nan Mu laughed arrogantly and loudly.

“Do I need that bit of money from him?” Huo Xunzhou snorted.

Nan Mu helplessly said, “Shanshan asked me to extort a sum of money from him.’

Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a while. “Why didn’t you ask for more money?”

Speechless, Nan Mu thought this man was so self-righteous despite having double standards!

Nan Mu sighed as he replied, “I was afraid that if he wouldn’t agree if I asked for more money. Wouldn’t it be a huge loss for me?”

“Oh,” Huo Xunzhou said coldly.

The program recording began.

Lu Shivuan sat on the left of Lin Shanchu and there was an empty seat on her right.

When the camera panned over, the screen showed the two of them looking at the stage expressionlessly.

Bullet comments:

[Lu and Lin have perfectly interpreted what it meant to be same bed, different dreams.]

[Is there a possibility that this phrase is called “strange bedfellows”?]

[Do you think they look compatible?]

[ROFL. Lin Shanchu doesn’t even bother to put on a facade anymore.

Hahahahaha…]

[So, Mu Sula is Lin Shanchu’s true self.]

[Arrogant Sister, you are the best!]

The camera only swept past Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan.

After the camera moved away, someone finally came to the seat next to Lin Shanchu.

The dull sound of wheels rolling on the ground could be heard.

Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou’s indifferent expression.

Tianzhou Media was originally the organizer of “My Stage”. As the behind-the-scenes boss, it was normal for Huo Xunzhou to watch the finals.

What was unusual was that Huo Xunzhou had arranged a seat next to her again.

She said that he pestered her, but he was really doing it all the time.

“What a coincidence,” Huo Xunzhou said it was a coincidence, but there was no surprise in his tone.

There was a row of people from the industry sitting behind them, so Lin Shanchu could not pretend that she did not hear Huo Xunzhou’s words in front of so many people.

“Yes, it is.” Lin Shanchu looked around and asked naturally, “Why didn’t Huo Chaosheng come?”

The words “Huo Chaosheng” triggered Lu Shiyuan.

He glanced at Lin Shanchu coldly, “The match is about to start. Keep quiet.”

Huo Xunzhou said, “As you know, he broke his leg a few days ago, so it’s inconvenient for him to go out.”

Lin Shanchu replied, “You’re right.”

The two of them chatted as if no one was around and they did not hear Lu Shiyuan at all.

Lu Shiyuan was furious, but he could not just snap.

He clenched his fists and waited until Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou finished talking.

It did not matter because Lin Shanchu would lose her smugness soon.

Everyone performed well on the stage for the finals.

Lin Shanchu had participated in so many seasons in the past, but this was her first time watching the show off the stage as an audience.

She watched the finals more enthusiastically and applauded louder than anyone else.

The director was still the same as before. He habitually cut the camera to Lin Shanchu, the attention grabber.

It was already 11:00 p.m. when the show on-stage ended.

There was only time left to make the final push for the voting.

The had not been much changes for the top three.

Yun Wu was far ahead in the number of votes, and it was cast in stone that she would debut in the center position.

Xia Jinmeng, who came in second place, was far behind Yun Wu in votes.

An Youyun took the third place.

Lin Shanchu’s old acquaintances—Wen Tongtong and Ran Zhimo—took the

tourtn and tittn place.

Ran Zhimo had the ability and her ranking was not bad from the start, so it was not strange for her to enter the top five.

Wen Tongtong had been eliminated in the first season, but unexpectedly, she had also made it into the top five.

It was truly against the odds.

The emcee cued Lin Shanchu on-stage.

“Lin Shanchu, in this final moment, do you have anything to say to the sisters who fought alongside you?”

Lin Shanchu took the microphone and looked at the stage before she said sincerely, “You guys are already very amazing for being able to make it this far.

At least, you’re more amazing than me.”

In the bullet screen, the non-fans who were watching the drama unfold commented:

[Hahahaha! Lin Shanchu’s fans, do you have a guilty conscience?]

Lin Shanchu’s fans:

Lin Shanchu’s fans were once again were struck with a pang of conscience. They felt that they had to do something to redeem themselves.

Hence, they collectively voted for Yun Wu.

However, Yun Wu’s debut was confirmed and she did not care about their trivial votes.

Hence, they set their sights on Lin Shanchu’s former teammates.

Both Wen Tongtong and Ran Zhimo used to be teammates of Lin Shanchu.

After that, they voted for the two of them according to their preferences.

Ten minutes before the voting channel was about to close, the trainees did not dare to look back.

Lin Shanchu looked at Wen Tongtong and Ran Zhimo’s rising votes. Then, she couldn’t help but ask Huo Xunzhou softly, “Did you guys… involve in vote rigging?”

She thought that Huo Xunzhou was very upright, but she did not expect him to play such a trick.

Lin Shanchu almost had the words “I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person” written all over her face.

Huo Xunzhou’s face looked tense and his eyes were locked on her face. He did not say a word, exuding a cold aura.

Lin Shanchu felt guilty under his gaze and blinked. “If you didn’t do it, so be it. Why are you so fierce?”

“Your fans know best why the situation has become like this.” When Lin Shanchu’s fans voted for Wen Tongtong and Ran Zhimo, Huo Xunzhou received the news immediately.

“What did my fans do?” Lin Shanchu looked confused.

Huo Xunzhou threw his phone at her.

Lin Shanchu took it and saw the message that Nan Mu had sent him ten minutes ago:

[Lin Shanchu’s fans are really amazing, hahahaha. Look at what they’ve done. An Youyun has been pushed to the fourth place, hahahaha…]

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

Her fans were really amazing.

Lin Shanchu silently returned the phone to Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou did not accept it and looked a little angry.

It was unknown if he was angry that she had misunderstood him or that her fans had “done something good”.

Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and quickly apologized to him, “I’m sorry.”

“Are you that insincere?” Huo Xunzhou snorted.

Lin Shanchu glared at him, “What’s the big deal? Can’t you be more magnanimous?”

Lin Shanchu was speechless. He still remembered how she had called him petty.

Just as Lin Shanchu was about to speak, she heard laughter behind her.

“Pfft!”

Upon hearing the laughter, Lin Shanchu turned around and saw a well-dressed man smiling at her and Huo Xunzhou..
