Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Jinmeng was so angry that she hurled insults at Wen Tongtong on the spot. Wen Tongtong just rolled her eyes at her. “Tch!”

However, Xia Jinmeng’s foot injury had yet to heal. Since she could not catch up with Wen Tongtong and was worried about the growing crowd in the corridor, she could only give up.

When Wen Tongtong arrived at the training room, Lin Shanchu was correcting her groupmates’ dance moves.

“Raise your hands a little higher and straighten out your legs… Good job.”

“Yes, that’s it. You’ve improved a lot.”

After correcting two of her groupmates’ movements, Lin Shanchu finally approached Ning Yunxi the crybaby.

Ning Yunxi looked at her with tearful eyes. “Big Sister, I’m the only one who hasn’t learned the dance yet. Am I going to have to go home and raise pigs?”

“When the time comes, you can stream yourself feeding pigs. You’re so young and beautiful. There will definitely be many people watching your stream. When you become popular, you can stream yourself selling pigs and achieve financial freedom.”

Lin Shanchu came up with a backup solution for Ning Yunxi in a serious manner.

Ning Yunxi burst into tears upon hearing Lin Shanchu’s reply.

People would never get annoyed when a young girl that had yet to turn 20 years old kept crying. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The louder Ning Yunxi cried, the wider Lin Shanchu’s smile became.

Ning Yunxi quickly wiped her tears and continued to practice. “I want to make my debut! I don’t want to raise pigs at all! Uwaaaah!”

How cute.

Lin Shanchu coaxed Ning Yunxi a little more before stepping away to drink some water.

Wen Tongtong also followed her. “You’re in a good mood today.”

“Is that so?”

Lin Shanchu didn’t even look up as she slowly drank her water.

“You made Ning Yunxi cry on purpose, ” Wen Tongtong commented.

Usually, Lin Shanchu wouldn’t do such a thing.

It was obvious that she was in a good mood for some mischief.

Wen Tongtong didn’t know what was wrong with Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu was really beautiful and capable, but she was clearly dysfunctional compared to regular people.

Lin Shanchu let out an “oh” before laughing lightly, “Let’s practice the dance.” She was indeed in a good mood today.

According to the plan, the news of her admitting to the rumors of her homosexuality had already been spread.

She just didn’t know if Lu Shiyuan was smashing the vase or the phone at this moment.

Or was he beating Zhou Yan up just to vent his anger?

Lu Corporation.

In the CEO’s office.

The moment Zhou Yuan opened the door and entered the office, a phone could be seen flvinz at him from the front.

Bam!

Zhou Yan dodged to the side, but the phone still ended up striking his shoulder.

Lu Shiyuan was very angry, so he had used all his strength in hurling that phone. It hurt Zhou Yan’s shoulder a lot.

Zhou Yan merely furrowed his brows slightly and continued walking in.

“President Lu..”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Shiyuan grabbed his collar and dragged him to the computer screen.

“Take a good look for yourself! Is this what you mean by settling the matter properly?”

On the computer screen was a news article that had just been released by a very authoritative media outlet in the industry.

[It is reported that Lin Shanchu will hold a press conference in a few days to respond to rumors of her special sexual orientation.]

Zhou Yan was also a little surprised. “President Lu, I’ve already contacted them to deal with the news articles when we discovered them before dawn!”

In the early hours of the morning, Zhou Yan suddenly discovered that news of Lin Shanchu holding a press conference had begun to appear on the internet.

He contacted Lu Shiyuan that very night.

Lu Shiyuan ordered him to get rid of the articles.

They didn’t pay much attention to it and thought that it was just some small media outlets trying to gain popularity.

The articles were dealt with very easily.

However, when Lu Shiyuan woke up this morning, all the major media outlets were fighting to release related news.

Zhou Yan contacted the people in charge to delete those articles immediately.

No matter how powerful Lu Shiyuan was, it was impossible for him to control the entire mass media in Xu City.

Hence, the moment Zhou Yan contacted some of the media sources to delete the articles, new articles would continue to be published by other media sources.

In the end, this news rushed to the headlines.

“Is this how you handle the matter?” Lu Shiyuan swept a cold glance at Zhou Yan before shoving him away.

Zhou Yan could not be bothered to tidy up his own collar as he lowered his head and said respectfully, “President Lu, the other party is obviously prepared. The speed at which we delete the articles can’t keep up with the speed at which they post it.”

“You’re trash!”

Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he hurled the vase that sat next to him.

The vase shattered into tiny shards by Zhou Yan’s feet upon landing.

Zhou Yan did not even blink as he continued, “President Lu, I’ve started the investigation on the mastermind behind this incident…” Before he could finish speaking, he was chased out by Lu Shiyuan.

“Get lost! ”

Zhou Yan turned around and left without saying a word.

He had been working for Lu Shiyuan for several years.

He knew Lu Shiyuan’s temperament better than anyone else. He was unpredictable and irritable.

However, Zhou Yan had to admit that Lu Shiyuan’s intelligence was outstanding. He was a natural businessman.

Therefore, he could vaguely guess that Lin Shanchu was the one who did it. Naturally, Lu Shiyuan must have come up with the same speculation.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so angry.

After reaching the door, Zhou Yan tidied up his collar before returning to his office.

He took out his phone and called his subordinate. “There’s no need to investigate further.”

President Lu would probably go to Lin Shanchu personally.

During training, when Lin Shanchu went to the washroom, she decided to drop by the director’s office out of convenience.

“I heard that you’ve been practicing quite well recently.” The director had always been very concerned about the show’s key element of popularity.

“Yeah. It’s going well.” Lin Shanchu looked around. Finally, her eyes fell on two pieces of chocolate on the desk next to her.

Seeing this, the director turned around and crouched down in front of the cabinet to get something.

Lin Shanchu saw half of his phone poking out of his pants pocket.

The director took out a large box of chocolates from the cabinet and waved generously. “You can have this.”

“Thank you, Director.” Lin Shanchu smiled brightly.

She left happily with the box of chocolates in her arms.

The director looked at her back and shook his head with a smile.

Even if her gaze was a little scary, she was still just a young lady.

The director then recalled the rumors about Lin Shanchu that had been spreading around these two days.

He didn’t know how the production crew was going to handle this. If they didn’t handle this well, they might not be able to keep the key element of popularity in the show.

The director sighed and got ready to take out his phone to check the situation online.

He searched through all of his pockets but could not find his phone.

Where was the phone?

Wasn’t it here just now?

In the washroom.

Lin Shanchu sat on the toilet bowl. With the box of chocolates in her left hand, she scrolled through the trending list using the phone that she had stolen from the director earlier with her right hand. #Lin Shanchu will hold a press conference #Lin Shanchu’s sexual orientation

Thanks to Xia Jinmeng and her friends.

Lin Shanchu was on the trending list again.

Even though the trending topic was one of infamy.

The entire trending topic was filled with comments scolding her.

After poking around the trending topic, she opened her own Weibo.

The first thing Lin Shanchu saw was familiar insults.

However, as she scrolled down, the comments started becoming different.

[There’s no evidence at all. I refuse to believe that Big Sister is that kind of person.]

[Is it true that she’s going to hold a press conference?]

[Big Sister doesn’t know of the news since she’s with the production crew.

Could it be that she doesn’t know what’s going on outside?]

[All the best, Big Sister! We believe in you!]

Lin Shanchu stared at the words “we believe in you” for a long time.

After that, she used the director’s main account to share a Weibo post from a marketing account.

The content of the Weibo post said that Lin Shanchu would hold a press conference to admit the truth behind the rumors and make a public apology..
