Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The hashtag #LinShanchuWasEliminated exploded the internet.
The hashtag with her name was ranked first on the list, followed by the tag ‘hot’.
Fans and curious netizens from all walks of life gathered to watch the spectacle.
[Is this hot search for real?]
[The production crew and Lin Shanchu’s fans were all ruthless!]
[I knew this woman would be eliminated eventually.]
[Isn’t it normal for people who had no talent to be eliminated? What’s there to be surprised about?]
[Even now, there are still people saying that Lin Shanchu isn’t good enough.
She managed to dominate the trending search bar when she joined and left the program, was this still not good enough?]
[People who had a decent sense of understanding would know that Lin
Shanchu has earned enough popularity and is now ready to leave the show.]
[Not to mention the number of fans Lin Shanchu has gained in the past two months was absurd. Have you ever come across a fanbase in the entire entertainment industry that is as united and ruthless as Lin Shanchu’s fans?
Whether Lin Shanchu could attract fans or the sheer power her fans had, which female celebrity in the same generation could compare? Don’t you feel a sense of danger? And you still have time to mock her?]
Even though the recording of ‘My Stage’ was not over yet, someone had already posted a video clip of Lin Shanchu’s farewell speech online.
In the video, Lin Shanchu was standing amongst the crowd.
She was wearing the same uniform as all the other contestants around her, yet she still stood out. Everyone couldn’t take their eyes off her.
She held the microphone and her clear eyes conveyed a profound sincerity. His tone was as gentle as usual.
“I wish that everyone would be able to see the light and reach their dreams to distant places. ”
Beneath her words of well-wishes was a tinge of envy she tried hard to conceal.
But in the close-up, Lin Shanchu was only seen smiling as she exited the scene, just like he had done countless times before.
Then, the camera panned toward the other contestants.
Many of them had red eyes, tears streaming down their faces.
Then, the video came to an end.
A popular internet celebrity reposted this video and commented: [Sincere wishes never fail to tug on our heartstrings.]
The fans of that celebrity immediately flooded the comments section.
[This video is so touching!]
[Lin Shanchu has so many haters! I only said I felt she was sincere and they started harassing me in my private messages.]
[I noticed many people saying that Lin Shanchu was pretentious and thought that I was the only one who thought that she was genuinely sincere. Turns out, it wasn’t just me.]
[Although I used to think Lin Shanchu was a little crazy when she did things, I still felt she was real.]
For the entire day, Lin Shanchu remained at the top of the trending search list. Some people even noticed that this video gained more views than the episode where Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai went on-site to visit Lin Shanchu.
The netizens joked: “Ultimately, it was Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai who had lost.”
‘I’ms also enaecl up pusmng DOtn or tnem on tne trending list.
Tang Qidai was furious when she saw the trending search list.
“Lin Shanchu is really something! She could still steal the limelight away even after being eliminated!”
“Lin Shanchu may have stolen the limelight, but aren’t there still a lot of people mocking her?” Kong Suyi comforted her, “Daidai, don’t be upset over this kind of person. It’s not worth it.”
Tang Qidai couldn’t control her anger, “Go online and take a look yourself. That b * tch is defaming Brother Shiyuan and me just to get in the limelight! She’s treating us like stepping stones!”
“I don’t agree with you, Daidai.” Kong Suyi smiled, “Your publicity and hers are currently tied together. So, wouldn’t her popularity be your popularity as well?”
Kong Suyi’s words reminded Tang Qidai.
That’s right.
Lin Shanchu’s popularity was no longer what it used to be.
As long as Lin Shanchu was still engaged to Brother Shiyuan, their fates would be tied together.
As a result, Lin Shanchu’s popularity would inevitably intertwine with hers.
If she wasn’t getting any benefits from it, Lin Shanchu wouldn’t be getting it either!
Tang Qidai sneered as she touched up her makeup in a mirror before standing up.
“I’m going down there.”
When Lin Shanchu was packing her luggage in the dormitory, Yun Wu offered to help her.
She claimed that she wanted to help her, but in reality, she was trying to stall for time.
Yun Wu was slowly and leisurely helping Lin Shanchu collect her things.
However, Lin Shanchu didn’t have much luggage, to begin with. So, no matter how much Yun Wu dawdled, she would be done packing fairly quickly.
Wen Tongtong was watching from the side as she asked, “Are you leaving
“She’ll leave after we eat.” Yun Wu replied as she was hauling Lin Shanchu’s luggage toward her.
“I’m not eating. I’m bored of the cafeteria food.”
Lin Shanchu extended her hand toward Yun Wu and said politely, “Allow me?”
Yun Wu reluctantly handed her the suitcase.
Lin Shanchu dragged her own suitcase out.
An Youyun was standing at the door with a smile, “Sister, you’re leaving so soon? I won’t send you off then. I still have to prepare for tomorrow’s recording.”
She thought she would be competing against Lin Shanchu for first place during the finals.
But she didn’t expect Lin Shanchu to be this disappointing and leave before the finals.
“Good luck,” Lin Shanchu patted An Youyun’s shoulder.
Just as An Youyun was beginning to feel confused, Lin Shanchu continued, “Otherwise, you won’t even be able to keep fourth place.”
“You…” An Youyun was furious.
Lin Shanchu had already been eliminated, yet she still dared to mock her so arrogantly.
But since so many people are present, An Youyun did not dare to act as crazily as Lin Shanchu.
An Youyun quickly calmed down and smiled, “I’ll accept your good wishes. Fourth place is pretty good. At least I’m better than those who can’t even make it to the debut position.”
There were still many students like Lin Shanchu who were preparing to leave after being eliminated.
Although An Youyun’s words were not wrong, they still angered them.
The moment she ended her sentence, she felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a little strange.
An Youyun realized and tried to say a few words to remedy the situation, but no one paid any attention to her.
The students just carried their suitcases and followed Lin Shanchu.
“Lin Shanchu, let’s go.”
“Once we leave, we’re planning to have a meal together. Do you want to join?”
Lin Shanchu declined, “I have something to do, so I can’t go.” “Can we add each other on WeChat later when we have our phones?”
“I’d also like to add you…”
Lin Shanchu could feel the words of rejection at the tip of her tongue, but she decided not to say them, “Alright.”
The director was waiting in the lobby to distribute their phones.
“How about I add everyone to a group chat? After joining the group, you can add each other as friends.”
“Lin Shanchu, let me add you to the group chat.” Lin Shanchu felt that it was a good idea to join the group.
It would save her the trouble.
She wouldn’t have to add them one by one.
After joining the group chat, Lin Shanchu left the training camp.
She spotted Nan Mu’s car at the entrance of the training camp.
Nan Mu came over to help Lin Shanchu carry her luggage.
Lin Shanchu hid the suitcase behind her, “What do you think you’re doing?” Did Nan Mu regret eliminating her?
Nan Mu was stunned, “I’m picking you up to go to the company. I’m your boss, have you forgotten?”
“…Oh,” she really did almost forget about that.
To think that she had been wasting all her time thinking about where to go first once she left the training camp.
After getting in the car, Nan Mu told Lin Shanchu, “I’ve gotten you a manager and an assistant, and prepared a house for you. You can take a look and see if you’re satisfied. If you’re not, do let me know.”
Even the house was prepared for her?
“Thank you, President Nan,” Lin Shanchu thanked him sincerely.
Nan Mu looked at her with a hesitant expression, then waved his hand, ‘You’re welcome. This is what the company should be doing for you..”
