Chapter 71: But She, Lin Shanchu, Didn’t Agree With Their Decision
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Friends were a luxury.
She never had one before.
Perhaps, no matter how hard Lin Shanchu tried, she would not be able to escape the fate of being the female lead of a sadistic novel. Even if she had received warmth for a short period of time, she would eventually be abandoned.
She would be forever alone without receiving help from others.
She would remain solitary for the rest of her life.
She should accept all of this.
Lin Shanchu ate slowly. Her gentle and calm appearance made Yun Wu feel frightened for no reason.
She felt that she should say something.
“Lin…”
“Lin Shanchu!”
Yu Weixin suddenly appeared with a plate. He ended up interrupting Yun Wu’s words.
“Are you done with your urgent matter?”
Lin Shanchu swallowed her food and said unhurriedly, “I’m working on it.”
Yu Weixin was speechless. So the urgent matter she was talking about was eating?
“Do you mind if I sit here?” Yu Weixin asked politely.
Lin Shanchu looked at Yun Wu opposite her without saying a word.
Yun Wu immediately understood and replied hurriedly, “I don’t mind!”
Yu Weixin sat down next to Lin Shanchu.
“Thank you… for what happened before.”
Lin Shanchu knew that Yu Weiwei was talking about how she had given him a way out during the live broadcast.
“You’re welcome.” Lin Shanchu did not even look up.
Since she was in a bad mood, her tone was lower than usual, and she seemed awfully cold.
Yu Weixin wanted to continue the conversation, but he stopped tactfully.
Lin Shanchu finished eating first.
She returned her plate and left the cafeteria.
When Yu Weixin saw Yun Wu staring at Lin Shanchu’s back with a disappointed look on her face, he asked with a smile, “Did you and Lin Shanchu have a
fight?”
Every time he appeared on a show, he would do a lot of preparation work.
That was why he knew that Lin Shanchu had a good relationship with Yun Wu.
“Nope.” After Yun Wu denied it expressionlessly, she lowered her head and started shoveling food into her mouth.
She ran back to the dormitory after she was done eating.
However, when she returned to the dormitory, she did not see Lin Shanchu.
Where did Lin Shanchu go?
Lin Shanchu went to find the director of the production crew.
The director was arranging work tasks for the background staff.
When he saw Lin Shanchu coming from afar, he turned around and wanted to escape.
However, Lin Shanchu was able to block him after taking a shortcut. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and blocked his way without any expression on her face.
“Have you finished eating?” The director laughed dryly, already feeling guilty.
“Did you set up the comment segment?” Lin Shanchu went straight to the point.
The director’s face stiffened. “Yes…
“Are you satisfied with my answer?” Lin Shanchu asked again.
“Of course! It’s gone on the trending list again…” The director nodded his head excitedly, but when he saw Lin Shanchu’s cold eyes, he subconsciously kept quiet.
The director felt ridiculous upon realizing that he got suppressed by Lin Shanchu’s gaze to the point that he didn’t dare to speak.
She was just a young woman in her early 20s.
She was extremely gentle when she stood there quietly, but she had a very strong aura.
Once her emotionless eyes swept over the director’s form, he could feel a strong sense of oppression coming from her.
“Is it on the trending list now?” Lin Shanchu’s eyes fell on the phone in the director’s hand.
“Y-Yeah… What are you doing?” The director looked at her with a guarded expression.
“Let me look at it,” Lin Shanchu said honestly.
“The members aren’t allowed to use their phones to surf the net during their time at the training camp,” the director said righteously.
“Oh,” Lin Shanchu replied.
The director thought that Lin Shanchu had given up.
He turned around and prepared to leave.
He had only taken two steps when his phone was snatched away.
“You…” When the director turned around, Lin Shanchu was in the midst of putting the phone in her pocket.
The director lowered his voice as he was worried that there were other staff members nearby. “Lin Shanchu, how could you snatch my phone?”
Lin Shanchu’s eyes widened, her pure and flawless face filled with innocence. “I found it on the ground.”
The director was astonished.
Today, he had finally experienced what it meant to lie through one’s teeth.
There were cameras everywhere in the house.
With the exception of the toilet.
Lin Shanchu went to the public washroom of the training rooms.
She sat on the toilet bowl while sliding a fair and slender finger across the phone screen slowly.
The topic #1’m not his favorite sponsor was currently trending.
The netizens posted all kinds of comments in the comment section.
[Remove the word “sponsor” and this sentence is still valid.]
[Remove the word “sponsor”? I’m not his favorite? Hahaha! Isn’t this clearly implying that Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai are involved? ]
[This lady has never expressed her opinion about Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai before. I thought she was very tolerant…]
[Why is it Lin Shanchu again? I’m sick of her being on the trending list!]
[This woman is here to leech off Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai’s popularity again. She’s so dramatic.]
[Olne is her fiancé and the other is her good friend. Her leeching off their popularity has nothing to do with you, does it? I think you’re the dramatic one.]
When Lin Shanchu saw this, she laughed silently.
The netizens this time were really amazing.
Many people were able to detect her intentions.
She was indeed trying to ride on Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai’s popularity.
She had to be famous.
People would only notice her once she was famous.
Only when she was noticed by others would people listen to her.
Once she had the right to speak, it would be easier for her to deal with Lu Shiyuan.
Lin Shanchu was using the director’s phone, so Weibo was naturally the director’s own account.
She returned to the main page and saw a Weibo notification from an entertainment marketing account.
[Tang Qidai’s new drama is delayed…] There were only a few comments and shares.
It was obvious that they had been restricted.
Tang Qidai was an A-list celebrity, after al. The extension of her new drama could be a big deal. It was only right for her to be on the trending list.
But there was no news on the trending list at all.
The team was probably trying to suppress the popularity.
Lin Shanchu typed Tang Qidai’s name in the search bar. A string of related words immediately appeared:
#Tang Qidai’s cyberbullying scandal #Tang Qidai removed the trending topic
#Tang Qidai’s text
#Tang Qidai and the disgusting killjoy
#Tang Qidai’s interference
#Tang Qidai, Lin Shanchu, and mangoes
These related words all looked very negative.
She clicked on Tang Qidai’s Weibo and scanned through the comments.
Soon, Lin Shanchu roughly knew what had happened to Tang Qidai recently.
Did she actually instigate her fans to cyberbully a regular person?
She was really arrogant and ignorant.
No wonder Tang Qidai’s team didn’t dare to buy her way into the trending list.
They wanted to wait for the incidents to be over before allowing Tang Qidai to show her face again.
There was no problem with the strategy.
Their train of thought was also correct.
But she, Lin Shanchu, didn’t agree with their decision!
Lin Shanchu opened the account management and saw the director’s main account which was already verified.
She clicked on the director’s main account.
Then, she reposted the Weibo post that said [Tang Qidai’s new drama will be delayed].
After that, she switched back to the director’s smurf Weibo account.
Finally, she exited Weibo.
She finished all this in one go, put the phone back in her pocket, and got up to leave.
At the door, she happened to meet the director, who had come to the washroom.
As soon as the director saw Lin Shanchu, he quickly asked her for his phone.
“Where’s my phone?”
Lin Shanchu pulled out the phone and returned it to him.
The director hesitated after seeing how upfront she was. “You didn’t do anything with my phone, did you?”
“Director, do you think I’m that kind of person?” Lin Shanchu sighed and lowered her eyes slightly.
She looked very sad.
Who would bear to make a beautiful woman sad?
The director quickly comforted her. “I…. I mean, you’re definitely not that kind of person!”
