Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 605
Chapter 605: Clearing Up (2)
Qin Shuang stared at her phone for a while.
Suddenly, she recalled that when they were recording “Brainiac is Here,” the production team had made an exception and gave her her phone.
At that time, her parents had called and she had received it with anticipation. However, she had heard those words.
At the thought of this, Qin Shuang’s heart ached.
She stared at her phone for a while and suddenly felt a little afraid of facing the comments online.
She returned the phone to the staff and said, “No one could look at their phones. I won’t look either. This is unfair.”
The staff: “…”
She passed the phone to Qin Shuang. It was her freedom to not look at it.
Moreover, there were indeed a lot of criticisms on the internet right now. Although she could avoid some things from happening, seeing those would indeed make it easier for her to lose her balance.
Hearing her say this, the staff simply nodded. “Sure.”
The staff took back her phone.
Qin Shuang then walked toward the dormitory on the third floor.
It was late at night and only the moonlight shone in from the third floor. The first floor was extremely quiet.
Just as Qin Shuang was walking, she suddenly saw a light on the staircase beside her. She walked over in confusion and realized that Xu Xinyao was scrolling through her phone.
There were stairs and elevators in the villa.
Xu Xinyao sat on the staircase and looked down at her phone.
Her Weibo was filled with private messages asking her if she was Early.
She did not know who this “I’ll meet Cen Bai sooner or later” fan was. Even now, she did not deny it.
Xu Xinyao frowned, but she felt a little fortunate.
Of course, she knew that this matter would be exposed sooner or later.
As long as that person went on Weibo, they would be able to find the source of the entire incident.
Hence, she had never admitted anything on her main account and had never spoken to anyone. The studio had also said that Xu Xinyao was currently training and could not look at her phone. Regarding this matter, should Xu Xinyao tell everyone after the recording was over?
However, Xu Xinyao was indeed Cen Bai’s fan and a member of White Light.
Her words implied that Xu Xinyao was Early and this led the fans to misunderstand.
Xu Xinyao took the chance to hide behind the production team and pretend to be dead. She did not say anything and accepted this huge wave of popularity!
This Early fan was really useful.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She hurriedly switched off her phone and stood up. She turned around and saw Qin Shuang.
Xu Xinyao’s eyes flickered.
Qin Shuang frowned. Seeing that she did not speak, she prepared to walk to the dormitory.
Just as she took two steps, she heard Xu Xinyao say, “Don’t think that you can be very popular just because you’re like this!”
Qin Shuang paused and turned around. “What?”
Xu Xinyao sneered. “You’re back so late. Aren’t you just playing at being hardworking? Let me tell you, I’m already sick of this! Moreover, the fans nowadays don’t like this character setup!”
Qin Shuang frowned.
Xu Xinyao put away her phone and walked up to Qin Shuang. She continued, “Nowadays, people like the image of geniuses more. Didn’t you understand that when the curve wrecker came to that show? Your classmate, Xue Xi, is a genius, so everyone likes her a lot. They can get what others work hard to achieve, so geniuses are even more admired!”
Xu Xinyao pointed at Qin Shuang. “The day after tomorrow, you’ll be the one who could only work hard, and I’ll be that genius. No matter how much you practice, you can’t compare to my explosive power. This is the truth.”
Qin Shuang stared at Xu Xinyao. “I never show off my persona. I’m me! What I show everyone is always the most real me! And you, if you only show off a persona, you’ll get into trouble one day!”
Ever since Xu Xinyao started filming, she had been flaunting her beautiful and wealthy image.
This was also why everyone thought that Xu Xinyao was Early.
The money she had invested in Cen Bai since a long time ago was uncountable. It was obvious that she came from a wealthy family. Xu Xinyao was fair, wealthy, and beautiful, which suited this position.
Xu Xinyao’s eyes flickered when she heard this. “What do you mean?”
Qin Shuang did not think much of it. However, when she saw that the other girl had admitted defeat, she sneered. “It means exactly what I said.”
She stretched lazily. A valiant person would never be at a disadvantage when it came to words. She raised her almond-shaped eyes and smiled. “Don’t tell me that I was right?”
“You…!”
Xu Xinyao was furious.
Qin Shuang yawned. “I don’t have time to argue with you here. Imma go.”
After saying that, she walked toward the dormitory, leaving Xu Xinyao stomping her feet in anger. However, she quickly clenched her fists.
In the middle of the night, she called her agency.
The manager picked up the call and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xu Xinyao said angrily, “I must get first place! Send a Weibo message now and hint that I’m Early!”
The manager was furious. “The popularity we borrowed from this name is enough! Stop fooling around! I’ve been keeping an eye on the votes. Don’t worry, we’re already ahead by 40 million votes!”
…
Time flew, and soon, it was the night of their debut.
Xue Xi and the rest saw that Xu Xinyao’s popularity had already surpassed Qin Shuang’s by 60 million. It was useless to be anxious.
Cen Bai frowned and thought that if the votes could not catch up by today’s last hour, he would announce their relationship.
Although announcing their relationship might bring about online violence and harm, it was the only way to help Qin Shuang gain popularity in the shortest time possible.
Worry about the rest later.
On the night of their debut, Xue Xi and the rest applied for leave and went to the recording studio to get VIP seats.
When she entered, she saw a few people holding Cen Bai’s sign. They were waiting for the tickets to be checked at the entrance. She could vaguely hear a few people discussing Early.
At the same time.
Backstage, the trainees who were going on stage were all putting on makeup.
Qin Shuang’s makeup was the simplest, so she was the first to be done. She had nothing else to do, and since she knew that Xue Xi would come today, she simply put on a mask and a baseball cap and ran to the front desk to look for her.
However, she did not expect to see a group of Cen Bai’s fans being stopped outside by the security guards just as she reached the entrance.
“Let us in!”
“We are big brother’s loyal fans, so we will definitely not disturb him! We also have tickets, and we just want to flash a signboard for big brother from afar. Why can’t we bring a signboard to enter?”
“I know that Brother has a lot of anti-fans recently, but don’t worry, we’re definitely not. We worked hard to make these signboards, so you can’t be like this!”
Qin Shuang originally did not intend to interfere, but this matter concerned Cen Bai. Moreover, the leader was one of White Light’s managers. Qin Shuang had seen her photo before, so she simply walked over.
