Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend - Chapter 599
Chapter 599: Chapter 599 This CP is too good to ship
“Before my performance, I want to confess something about my boss, Mr. Jiang Xu.”
As soon as Zhou Qingyue said this, the scene immediately erupted into an uproar.
What the fuck? Is there juicy gossip?
A love triangle?
A boss-employee story that must be told?
Upon hearing Zhou Qingyue’s words, Jiang Xu’s eyes instantly narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint.
If Zhou Qingyue dared to pull any stunts on him, then she wouldn’t need to work for him anymore.
There was a small screen backstage that could also display the front stage’s visuals and sound.
As soon as Zhou Qingyue began to speak, An Nuonuo immediately became nervous.
She really didn’t want to do something that would be bad for everyone.
But if Zhou Qingyue really said something she shouldn’t, then An Nuonuo… when the time came to be ruthless, there would be no hesitation.
Not for herself, but for Jiang Xu.
Whether it was live at the venue or the television broadcast, Zhou Qingyue’s words had drawn everyone’s attention.
Especially the TV station’s ratings, which at that moment were skyrocketing.
The related topics also quickly climbed up on Weibo.
#Shocking, superstar Zhou Qingyue publicly confesses to her own boss?!#
#Zhou Qingyue going after An Nuonuo’s man?!#
“So far off the script, it’s like a real-life palace drama!#
These topics rapidly became trending, climbing the charts at a frightening speed.
Zhou Qingyue on stage was already in the midst of the whirlpool, one misstep and she could vanish from the public eye completely.
She still wore a smile: “The reason I’ve made it this far today is all thanks to my boss’s guidance and support.
So here, I confess to my boss to express my gratitude to him, and also to the lady boss, as well as the many staff members who have supported me in the background.
It’s with your dedication that I’ve reached my current position.”
After speaking, she took a deep bow to the audience below.
Everyone was speechless.
This was just clickbait.
Clearly, Zhou Qingyue had intentionally made that statement in order to draw more traffic and increase her trending status.
And she had succeeded.
In the Weibo hot search top ten, four of the topics were about her.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Zhou Qingyue didn’t cause any trouble and was just a bit cunning, there wouldn’t be a problem.
Zhou Qingyue then performed a song of her own, adding a hot dance to the show.
The visual impact was maxed out.
The semifinal judges totaled ten, each with a maximum of one thousand points to give, and as little as one.
From the judges, Zhou Qingyue scored 820 points, currently the highest in the entire venue.
Getting this score, Zhou Qingyue felt relieved.
Not bad.
The next part was up to her fans’ votes.
The organizing committee’s approach to online voting was simple and brutal.
One yuan for one vote (point).
Jiang Xu felt this could be a good model to adopt, much better than using mobile phone voting.
After all, mobile phone voting would mean having to split the money with the carriers.
Zhou Qingyue stepped offstage amid a round of enthusiastic applause.
“An Nuonuo! An Nuonuo!”
“I love you An Nuonuo!”
“Invincible An Nuonuo!”
…
An Nuonuo hadn’t even taken the stage, yet the audience below were already screaming their lungs out as if they could flip the dome itself.
Jiang Xu truly felt An Nuonuo’s popularity, which was even stronger than Zhou Qingyue’s.
And all this while An Nuonuo hadn’t been in public view for more than three months.
This is what you call being spoon-fed by Lady Luck.
If she were to truly dedicate herself to this industry, there’s no doubt she’d be an unrivaled force.
At least for the next five years, there won’t be any rival in the domestic scene.
Zhou Qingyue, who had just stepped off the stage, felt her delicate body tremble at the deafening shouts, and she bit down hard on her teeth.
An Nuonuo was truly the bane of her life, suppressing her in every aspect.
If Nuonuo existed, why need Qingyue!
Nevertheless, she couldn’t show any oddities now and had to maintain a smile.
Otherwise, it would be too easy for those with ulterior motives to capture an image of her.
Then, there would certainly be a flurry of indiscriminate writing.
Things like “Big star Zhou jealous of her own boss lady” and so on.
Although, this was all true.
“Hello everyone, I’m An Nuonuo~”
When An Nuonuo took the stage, the applause and cheers erupted even more enthusiastically.
It wasn’t just the men who were excited; many women were very moved as well.
After all, An Nuonuo had a great personality, and not many women would be jealous of her.
Jiang Xu even had to cover his ears, or the surrounding uproar would have caused some damage to them.
Jiang Xu smirked and said, “Worthy of being my woman, Nuonuo really is as terrifying as this.”
However…
Onlookers only saw An Nuonuo as a delicate flower standing at the center of the stage.
Only Jiang Xu could tell that the girl was still a bit nervous.
“I’ll perform a song I’ve recently come to love very much—’Simple Love’~”
“I can’t explain why I’ve become so proactive.”
The moment An Nuonuo’s unique, sweet, and soft voice resonated, the venue suddenly became eerily quiet.
A true display of what is called dominance, of what is called a silence so profound, you could hear a pin drop.
With An Nuonuo’s vocal quality, singing sweet songs was most fitting.
Her singing was like a gentle stream, not too fast or slow, yet refreshing to the soul.
It was as if a cool breeze had appeared on a hot summer day.
It immediately calmed everyone’s tense and overheated hearts.
“I just want to hold your hand like this and not let go, can love be simple and straightforward without hurt…”
An Nuonuo’s gaze instantly searched for Jiang Xu.
The love and affection in her eyes were as endless as the rolling river.
And many in the audience followed An Nuonuo’s gaze to locate Jiang Xu.
Instantly, they all revealed a maternal smile.
This couple was simply too perfect to idolize—fasten it down!
Of course, it also dealt a critical blow to some single onlookers.
“Damn it, I came here for fun, not to be fed dog food, hey!”
“If you keep this up, I’ll hug myself tight!”
“Boo hoo hoo, when will the sweet romance fall upon me, oh heavens.”
…
When the song ended, the cheers were louder than firecrackers during New Year’s.
Zhou Qingyue backstage turned deathly pale.
She had genuinely lost thoroughly.
Years of effort had earned her today’s achievements.
Yet she had been effortlessly surpassed by An Nuonuo.
Her pride, her capital, was being crushed into dust by An Nuonuo little by little.
All ten judges unanimously gave full scores.
That made it a perfect thousand.
After An Nuonuo finished her performance, the voting channel was opened.
Being the last to perform has its advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage being that there’s less time to gather votes compared to other contestants.
For instance, the one who went first had over two more hours to campaign for votes than the last one.
But all this was not a big problem for An Nuonuo.
The moment her voting channel opened, the number of votes soared at a frightening speed.
