Chapter 117 - Transforming Into “Anonymous-fanboy”

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Jingjing… are you still going to do a face reveal?”

Shen Qianhui’s voice rang in Shen Ruojing’s earpiece.

Shen Ruojing had planned on doing a face reveal today, but now…

Shen Ruojing said calmly, “I’ll do it in the next episode.”

This day belonged to Bai Shanshan. It was the day of her rebirth, so Shen Ruojing didn’t wish to disturb it.

Shen Qianhui was naturally willing to have this development.

The show had reached the highest view rate this episode, and there were no other gimmicks planned for the next episode. If Shen Ruojing was willing to wait until the next episode before she revealed her identity, it’d definitely be able to bring in more views for them.

After reading the hot search topic on Weibo, everyone gained some understanding of the matter concerning Bai Shanshan and Yan Zijing.

Bai Shanshan was supposedly in the wrong as well for singing for Yan Zijing.

However, everyone understood now that she had been lied to!

How much struggle did a patient with severe depression and anxiety have to go through to be able to come out to the stage from behind the scenes? This was something beyond everyone’s imagination.

Thinking of this, the audience in the hall felt an unexplainable feeling of their blood racing, and they felt extremely touched.

Suddenly, someone shouted, “You’re amazing!”

This line led to the start of a wave.

Everyone started shouting, “Bai Shanshan, you’re the most amazing!”

There was also someone saying while crying, “What I like is Yan Zijing’s voice, so the one that I like is you! It was never about appearance… You’re a singer, not an actress. Therefore, you don’t have to mind your appearance too much…”

Someone also apologized, “I’m sorry, the one I liked is Yan Zijing. It’s neither her as a person nor her voice, but the both of them together. I’m going to stop being a fan…”

These people were very rational and didn’t direct their anger onto Bai Shanshan.

Also, all the comments leading the flow of the Weibo discussions were positive ones.

There were only a few malicious comments.

——That’s right. How can she be a star when she can’t even maintain her figure?

——This fatty is really ugly. She must be 100 kilograms, right? She’s all covered in fats. It’s so disgusting.

However, the few malicious comments were drowned amidst all the positive ones.

The host then led Bai Shanshan off the stage, and Chu Cimo stayed by her side, following her every step.

After both of them left, the host looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “Teacher White Feather, let’s continue with the show!”

“Alright.”

Shen Ruojing returned to her seat on the judging panel.

The audience was clearly not as into the following performances. After such a big incident had taken place, everyone was holding onto their phones and sharing the news with the people they knew.

At the same time, comments about White Feather were also slowly developing.

——White Feather isn’t talking anymore. Was she hurt?

——To speak the truth, I quite like Sister White Feather. She dares to speak up and doesn’t try to say lies just because she’s a rookie. Her comments are quite true…

——Previous commenter, do you know how people should conduct themselves? Don’t you know that it’s rude for a junior to casually critique their seniors?

——I agree. I feel very upset. Why does my idol have to be easily critiqued by a rookie?

——Can she get off from the judging panel? I really feel annoyed just by looking at her.

…

…

At the Chu Manor.

Lu Cheng was scolding angrily, “What do these foolish netizens know? Shen Ruojing is Anonymous!”

After saying that, he explained to Chu Cichen, “Bro Chen, you might not know of Teacher Anonymous’s status in the composing world, but no one has been able to surpass the songs she wrote five years ago. Moreover, the symphony composition she came up with has a lot of fame internationally as well. After she reveals her identity, these people will get a slap in their face!”

Right now, he was like an “Anonymous-fanboy”. Chu Cichen’s gaze when looking at him became deeper when he saw how indignant Lu Cheng was. “Why are you so angry?”

“It’s all because these people are scolding their heads off without knowing any better…” As Lu Cheng spoke, his voice sounded increasingly softer. He thought of his past self.

He coughed. “Bro Chen, should we get this post off the hot searches?”

“No need.”

Lu Cheng gave it some thought before saying, “That’s true. This is the entertainment circle we’re talking about. There’s only popularity if there are topics to talk about. Otherwise, the views for their show would drop. Heh, then I shall add some fuel to the flame. The worse these people are scolding her today, the harder the slap will be when the truth is revealed!”

When Lu Cheng finished saying this, he received a notification on WeChat.

He then took a look and said, “Bro Chen, Yan Zijing’s matter has been posted online, and a hot search has been purchased for it too. It’s staying right at the very top. Actually, even if we didn’t pay for it, this matter will sooner or later go up to first place on the hot search… I’ve got it. Shen Ruojing’s friend couldn’t wait. If things weren’t explained clearly, all the audience present would assume that she and Yan Zijing had been colluding with each other… Bro Chen has thought things out better than I had.”

Chu Cichen ignored him.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.

He took a look and realized that it was a message from Shen Ruojing. There was only one word. [Thanks.]

“…” Chu Cichen suddenly felt very awkward. He let out a cough and was about to type something to explain his actions. [No need, after all, you’re…]

Before he finished typing, Shen Ruojing had sent another message. [I understand, you’re just helping me out on the account of the kids. Don’t worry, I won’t think too much about things. There’s no need to type to explain things. It’s quite tiring.]

Chu Cichen.”???”

He had a feeling as if he had been flirted with! That woman’s peach blossom eyes with the shadow of a smile seemed to have appeared on his phone.

As Chu Cichen was staring at the phone, Lu Cheng suddenly asked, “Bro Chen, why have your ears turned red? You can’t have gotten a fever, could you? The temperature has dropped these few days. You have to take more care.”

“…Scram.”

–

The production team.

Shen Ruojing looked at the notification on her WeChat chat “The other party is typing…” and smiled.

This continued for a few minutes before Chu Cichen’s message came in. [Typing isn’t tiring.]

“…” Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but laugh.

This man must be feeling shy.

She then changed out of White Feather’s long dress and took off her mask. When she went out, she happened to see Yan Zijing, who had removed her makeup and changed out of her clothes, being in a very bad mental state. She was throwing a fit. “You guys dare to let me voluntarily withdraw from the show?”

Shen Qianhui’s attitude was very firm. “What else do you want us to do? It was stated on the contract that fake singing isn’t allowed. Your case is considered fake singing, so you guys are the ones who one-sidedly breached the contract. I’m going to pursue your responsibility for this too.”

Yan Zihao rubbed his forehead. “Let’s discuss how we can handle the aftermath…”

Shen Ruojing wasn’t interested in such things.

Other than being slightly soft-hearted to family, her mother had always been quite capable of taking care of things. Hence, there wasn’t a need for Shen Ruojing to worry about matters concerning business dealings.

She went around to look for Bai Shanshan but didn’t see her backstage.

Only after making a call did she find out that Chu Cimo was with her at the entrance.

Shen Ruojing told them to wait for a moment and had just reached the door when she suddenly saw a row of black luxurious cars slowly driving over!

Then, the cars stopped and over ten bodyguards dressed in black stood in front of the door.

Immediately after, the door to the car in the middle was opened.

A tall and familiar figure walked out…

Chu Cimo was both surprised and happy as he said, “Isn’t this Dugu Xiao?”

Shen Ruojing stiffened and furrowed her brows a little. “Why is he here?”

Noticing the dissatisfaction in Shen Ruojing’s voice, Chu Cimo subconsciously said, “How can we understand what such major characters think? Anyway, he can’t be here to look for me or you…”

He had just said this when the man’s sharp gaze looked over in their direction!
