Chapter 39
They returned to the villa by car. It was already four o’clock in the afternoon, and as the last episode of the show, they were to gather around the table for a heart-to-heart chat.
Of course, the show would not forget its original purpose — to bring the children of the city into the entertainment circle. Thus, the content of the conversation would also revolve around the children of the city.
Thus, the director threw out a topic, “Please name the member that has contributed the most to every activity and study in your hearts.”
The planned answer to this question was Ji Yao. Furthermore, the director had long since spoken with Gu Xiao and An Yang and told them to praise the children of the city. Though Gu Xiao and An Yang had agreed at the time, they did not say anything at this moment.
After a while, Lin Xue was the first to stand up and say, “I think the one who has contributed the most in the event is Gu Xiao, because Gu Xiao Xiao has always completed her tasks seriously. She is very good at execution, and has her own ideas. For example, when she plucked the orange,s and afterwards, when Ji Yaowas injured, Gu Xiao also accompanied her to the hospital at the first instant.”
“The one who has contributed the most in studies is Chu An. Chu An is the best at studies here. We ask him questions that we don’t understand, and his answers are also very detailed and patient.”
After saying this, Lin Xue nodded at the two of them respectively, and the two of them responded with a smile.
Ji Yaoremained silent the entire time. This was because the director had told her that others would all say that it was her, a she only had to wait quietly.
However, they didn’t.
In the time that Ji Yao and Meng Fei remained silent, the other four had already praised each other repeatedly, yet did not even mention the names of Ji Yao and Meng Fei.
Even the barrage of comments was beginning to express doubt.
[Strange, I thought they would say Ji Yao’s name. Why hasn’t Ji Yao’s name appeared yet?]
[Actually, I think that every time Ji Yao appears, they seem to be added forcefully. She looks a little out of place.]
The director gave Meng Fei a look, signalling for her to stand up and speak.
“I think that Ji Yao has contributed the most in terms of activity and studies…”
“Ji Yao? Those scenes in school that weren’t edited are already enough for your Ji Yao’s persona to collapse countless times, and you still want to worship her?” It was Lin Xue who spoke up.
From the outside, Lin Xue was the kind of quiet and refined little girl, but there was an unyielding and determined spirit in her bones. She would directly speak of anything that made her uncomfortable.
Just like now.
Gu Xiao also hoped internally that she could directly tell everyone about all the disgusting things that Ji Yao had done, but her enemy was not just Ji Yao, but the entire Ji family, so she could only hide her weakness for now.
[Lin Xue seems to be talking about some earth-shattering secret!]
[What things have been deleted?]
[I’ll check it out now!]
[Brother, I’ve found out. Just take a look at the forum page of the City No. 1 High School!]
“Lin Xue!” Ji Yao stood up angrily, and roared in fury.
“What is it? Did I misspeak? Anyways, it’s the last episode of the show. Even if you hide the things that you’ve done, the truth can’t be concealed in the end, right?” Lin Xue said calmly.
When An Yang saw that the two of them had suddenly begun to confront each other, she encouraged herself internally, and also joined in on this argument, “Furthermore, the production team has always given us rural children scripts, so that we can act according to the script, and show that you are all very outstanding.”
At the same time, as Ji Yao’s misdeeds were dug up by netizens, Ji Yao suddenly became a target of scorn and ridicule. In fact, someone even found evidence that Ji Yao was threatening Grandma Jin.
When the director saw that he could no longer control the situation, he sighed, then closed the bullet screen.
However, the netizens would not buy it. As more and more things were verified, for example, how content of the show was prepared in advance, rehearsing the show, and so on, Ji Yao and Meng Fei’s popularity instantly fell to rock bottom, while Lin Xue rushed to the top.
The atmosphere gradually became tense. Ji Yao stood in front of the camera, at a loss of what to do.
She swallowed, her face pale.
However, the various posts online were very lively. Ji Yao instantly fell off the throne of the nationwide G.o.ddess, and as for Meng Fei, everyone’s voices towards her were especially loud, and the level of scolding and rebuke had exceeded the level they had previously directed at Chen Li.
The show progressed to this point, and on the last night, the director had initially wanted to wrap things up perfectly, so that Ji Yao would become the most popular, and naturally would be given some entertainment industry resources. He had even gotten the film ready, and it was the project of a larger movie producer.
By the looks of it now, his hopes had been dashed.
