Chapter 86 - Going All Out

Pei Huai was left speechless.

Wasn’t this the one that he helped Su Ji buy for 58,000 yuan?

He thought that Su Ji would put in her dormitory room.

A minute later, Pei Huai placed the lion next to the one he had.

Wow, twins.

There was a piece of paper under the box.

Was it a letter written by her?

If that was the case, then the 580,000 yuan would be well spent.

The letter was folded in half twice, and Pei Huai opened it with one hand.

As expected, it was hand-written.

“Don’t make it a pair. Exactly one will ensure your safety, but if you have them in pairs, it’s inauspicious.”

Pei Huai looked at the two lions that he had placed next to each other, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Coincidentally, he received a new message on TikTok.

[ Su Ji (Fallen Note): “Do you like the present?” ]

Pei Huai was silent for a long time before he smiled helplessly.

[ . : “I like it, but don’t send me any more presents in the future.”]

It had been a long time since Zhou Xuefang had caused trouble for Su Ji.

She was busy preparing for the next rounds of competitions.

Only then would she be qualified to compete with Su Ji in the finals.

In the dormitory, Pan Lian was feeding Su Ji some pineapples. “There will be 3 people in the finals, what do you plan to do in the livestream?”

Meng Na put her arm on the back of the chair and turned to them. “I heard that the school changed the rules for the finals. It seems that the tips received by Su Ji were too much compared to the other contestants, so they are not prioritizing popularity over the amount of tips.”

” …that’s even more difficult, ” Pan Lian said. “No wonder Xuefang has been coming back to the dormitory so late every day.”

Meng Na added, “by the way, the school also announced that the winner of the finals will be rewarded with 100 credits. Su Ji, if you still want to graduate, getting 100 credits is very important.”

Liu Yiqing had already told Su Ji about this before it was officially announced.

In fact, Su Ji’s main goal was to get her credits. Everyone was fighting for the chance to shoot an MV with Sonya, but she didn’t really care about that.

Pan Lian pouted at Meng Na and said, “oh, so you’re hoping Su Ji will win now? Aren’t you loyal to Xuefang?”

What a provocative question!

Meng Na was quiet for a few seconds, then she waved her hand awkwardly, “I’ll be happy if either one of them wins since we are on the same team.”

Pan Lian scoffed and looked at Su Ji again. “Since tips are not as important anymore, you really have to think about the content of your livestream. You sang the last two times, why don’t you change it to…dancing in the finals? Or acting? Your performance as the demon concubine was amazing!”

Singing, dancing, and acting were the three main things that Kyokushin students did when they competed.

None of them were surprising.

Su Ji stepped on the ground with a little force, and the chair under her slanted backward at an angle.

It was exactly 30°.

She crossed her arms and leaned back steadily, closing her eyes and thinking for a long time.

Two pairs of eyes beside her were staring at her, waiting for her to come up with a creative way to win the finals.

After a long while, when even the sound of breathing could be heard, Pan Lian carefully probed, “what did you think of?”

“Nothing,” Su Ji slowly opened her eyes.

“…”

After two consecutive rounds of competitions, Zhou Xuefang was completely exhausted.

She thought about how Su Ji could sleep until the sun was high in the sky every day while she was as tired as a dog. Other than feeling depressed, she also felt a sense of frustration!

The more they competed, the more Zhou Xuefang felt the strain.

After she barely won the elimination round to become the top four, the other three were all internet celebrities with more than ten million fans.

More powerful than her…

After that, she was very anxious. In the end, she tossed and turned all night and finally asked Ms. Jing to secretly pay to increase her popularity.

Since the school had already changed the rules of the competition, it was useless to find someone to tip her now.

However, it was a different story if they paid to become trending on the web.

The traffic that came after was organic.

Although the sudden popularity could easily arouse suspicion, the school could not catch her cheating.

Later on, Zhou Xuefang successfully made it to the top three.

The three students who would be in the finals were Su Ji, her, and the classical dancer’s boyfriend.

She could have made it without playing dirty, but because of Su Ji, Zhou Xuefang’s rhythm was completely disrupted.

Later on, there were even students who posted on the school forum suspecting her of cheating.

Fortunately, nothing came out of it

Zhou Xuefang had always enjoyed a good reputation and popularity in school. She was not happy that she had ended up in the top three with such a method.

Hence, she had to win!

Otherwise, all these sacrifices would have been in vain!

Because of the two competitions, Zhou Xuefang’s fan base had increased from 9 million to 9.7 million.

However, when she had 9 million fans, Su Ji only had 137.

When she had 9.7 million followers, Su Ji had already broken the 6 million mark!

Just looking at the numbers, Su Ji was indeed not as good as her. But looking at the speed of growth, Su Ji had far surpassed her.

Zhou Xuefang’s eyes flashed with madness as she looked at her phone screen.

**

The day before the finals, Zhou Xuefang secretly called Chen Jing.

Ms. Jing was the one who paid for her to be trending, so she wasn’t afraid of letting her know what she was thinking at the moment.

However, when she explained her intentions, Chen Jing was still shocked. “What? You want Su Ji to be unable to participate?”

Zhou Xuefang clutched her phone tightly. She had to get the chance to shoot a music video with Sangya!

“Ms. Jing, help me one last time. As long as I win the competition…I will definitely repay you.”

If it was in the past, Chen Jing would have agreed without hesitation, but now…she had already received her share of the payment from Su Ji’s previous appearances. It was proven that Su Ji was also a money tree…

“Xuefang, you and Su Ji are both members of the Fallen Note, I’m in a difficult position…”

“Ms. Jing!” Zhou Xuefang said hysterically, “you can’t be greedy! Between Su Ji and me, you can only choose one.”

There was silence. She continued, “I still have the contract to star in ‘The Billion Stars’. You must think about it carefully…”
