Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shanchu had been a regular on the hot search list these days.
Fans and viewers from all walks of life were still not satisfied with their fight in the comment section of “My Stage”, so they shifted their battleground to Weibo.
Very quickly, the topic #Lin Shanchu scored 690 points became a hot search again.
Lin Shanchu already had a lot of anti-fans.
As soon as the haters saw the hot search, they flooded the topic’s page just to ridicule her.
[That ugly Lin Shanchu dares to brag about everything!]
[Does she think she doesn’t have enough haters? Is she trying to make her scores part of her personality? How hilarious!]
[Ignorance is terrible. Are 690 points so easy to score? If you want to act cool, you need to have some common sense first.]
[No one would really believe it, right?]
Before Lin Shanchu participated in “My Stage,” she didn’t have many fans. Most of them were haters, so when she was scolded online, almost no one spoke up for her.
Over the years, it seemed politically correct to slander her.
However, things were different now.
Before, there were Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu’s relationship fans. After that, there were Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu’s relationship fans. Her “Resentful Ghost” performance during the initial stage assessment was the one that helped her attract the most fans.
The fans of the three parties collectively went off against the haters. [Yeah, my idol is so ugly! I dream to become as ugly as her!]
[Lin Shanchu really is unpopular. She’s so unpopular that she’s merely the female celebrity who got searched up the most on the internet in real-time.]
[Ignorance is indeed scary. It’s already the year 2202. If you even bother to search the records, you’ll know that the valedictorian in Xu city was called Lin Shanchu.]
While the fans of both sides were in full swing, Tianzhou Media’s official Weibo directly posted Lin Shanchu’s results from that year.
Tianzhou Media’s Official Weibo: [It’s the high school examination season again. We’re sharing the results of an artist who’s part of our family. We wish all candidates to achieve great results and become top scholars!] There were two pictures attached to the post.
One of them was Lin Shanchu’s high school exam results from that year.
The other was an interview video of Xu City’s valedictorian that year.
The haters were slapped in the face by the evidence, but they still pressed on stubbornly. [There’s no need to show off like this even if you scored 690 points. Aren’t you just trying to make the results part of your personality? Lin Shanchu isn’t the only one in the entertainment industry who has good high school exam results.]
There were many currently popular artists in Tianzhou Media, so they had always received a lot of attention.
As soon as this Weibo post was posted, whether it was Lin Shanchu’s new fans or passers-by from all over the world, they all came to join in the fun: [ Lin Shanchu has signed a contract with Tianzhou Media? ]
[Damn, Lin Shanchu is pretty and is good at performing. She’s also a top student!]
[ I just want to know what did Lin Shanchu do in her past life to have such a stellar record in her current life.]
[Is she really not the female lead of a novel? ]
[She finally found an organization. My idol is backed up by a company from now on. Sob…]
[Even her old picture from five years ago looks so good. Natural beauties really are different. She’s so good-looking.]
[I don’t understand. Isn’t Lin Shanchu Lu Shiyuan’s fiancé? Why didn’t she sign a contract with the Lu Corporation?]
Tianzhou Media.
Nan Mu and Lu Shiyuan were sitting opposite each other. There was a conference table in the middle with a contract on it.
Nan Mu lazily leaned back in his chair and said in a casual tone, “The sponsorship amount is 100 million dollars. The deal is off even if you pay a penny less.”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t even look at Lu Shiyuan.
He took out his phone and continued to browse the comments under Lin Shanchu’s high school exam report card.
90% of the comments under this Weibo post were positive.
He had not misjudged her.
Lin Shanchu was really popular.
She was born to make a living in the entertainment industry.
Nan Mu did not know what that Lu idiot was thinking. He ignored Lin Shanchu, who had unlimited potential, and supported a woman who had no ability or looks.
Nan Mu sighed mentally. This was probably his fate.
He was destined to discover precious gems one after another.
Huo Xunzhou was first, and Lin Shanchu was second.
Lu Shiyuan, who was sitting opposite Nan Mu, was wearing a well-ironed suit. His brows were furrowed into a knot, and his entire body was filled with suppressed anger.
“A hundred million? Nan Mu, you’re quite arrogant!”
In Xu City, no one had ever dared to treat him so lightly and humiliate him like this.
He had lowered himself to sponsor Nan Mu’s show, but the latter had demanded an exorbitant price from him without any sincerity.
Nan Mu put his phone to the side while looking conflicted.
“President Lu, you have no idea that countless sponsors have been calling me non-stop these two days, ” he said.
“It’s all because Lin Shanchu’s performance has become popular. The sponsors want to invest in my show, but when I heard that you wanted to sponsor the show, I didn’t agree to any of their offers.
“It’s my honor that you want to sponsor my show. Of course, other people have to make way for you, right?”
They were all cunning businessmen who went through a lot in the business world.
Lu Shiyuan could naturally hear the enigma in Nan Mu’s words.
“It’s not like I have to invest in your show,” he said with a cold smile.
“I know.” Nan Mu deliberately dragged out his words and said slowly, “You’re here for Lin Shanchu.”
To be honest, he didn’t understand Lu Shiyuan’s thoughts.
If Lu Shiyuan cared about Lin Shanchu, he wouldn’t have spent his days hanging around that Tang celebrity.
But if Lu Shiyuan didn’t care about Lin Shanchu, he wouldn’t have lowered his head and come all the way to deal with Nan Mu just to see her.
Lu Shiyuan’s suppressed anger completely erupted because of what Nan Mu said.
“Shut up!” His hands that were hanging by his sides clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
At this moment, the assistant’s voice sounded from outside the door.
“Boss, a sponsor decided to pay us a visit. He’s already been invited to the reception room.”
Nan Mu shot Lu Shiyuan a provocative smile.
Then, he got up and walked out.
It was obvious that he was going to meet the other sponsor.
He had just walked to the door when Lu Shiyuan’s voice came from behind him.
“Stop!”
Nan Mu wasn’t stupid. He knew what Lu Shiyuan meant by stopping him.
With his back still facing Lu Shiyuan, he widened his eyes out of shock.
When Lin Shanchu asked him to open a bid of a hundred million, he thought that Lin Shanchu wanted him to deliberately toy around with Lu Shiyuan.
He didn’t expect Lu Shiyuan to actually be willing to pay a hundred million dollars.
This woman, Lin Shanchu, was really amazing!
She looked like a cat, beautiful and weak without any aggression.
Yet, she could control a scumbag like Lu Shiyuan.
“President Lu.” Nan Mu controlled his expression and returned to his seat.
Lu Shiyuan didn’t even look at him. He directly flipped open the contract and stated his request.
“You have to invite me to the recording studio for every episode.” Nan Mu was very confused and shocked. “All right,” he said.
He just wanted to be able to see Lin Shanchu at a close distance.
If Lin Shanchu could make Lu Shiyuan jump into a hole that she dug from a distance, then wouldn’t Lin Shanchu be toying around with him to death if they were to face each other?
Nan Mu didn’t have any objections to Lu Shiyuan’s conditions. He even started to look forward to it.
After signing the contract, Lu Shiyuan left Tianzhou Media with a dark expression.
Just as he got into the car, he received a call from Tang Qidai.
“Brother Shiyuan, did you know that Shanshan has signed a contract with Tianzhou Media? ”
“What did you say?” Lu Shiyuan sat up straight..
