2420 Twins

“Then you should practice more first.”

Qiao Weiyang turned around and asked Tao Huan to inquire.

When she returned, she said, “Indeed, it was supposed to be a normal recording previously. Only the last episode would be live-streamed. This time, it suddenly changed. I heard that Zhang Xi requested to change it. Why did she suddenly make these arrangements?”

“She must have her own motive for changing things. Let’s just wait and see.”

Qiao Weiyang didn’t want to figure out Zhang Xi’s motive.

However, it was obvious that no matter what Zhang Xi’s motive was, she would most likely be shocked by the final outcome.

After all, the audience had sharp eyes. Everyone only liked to look at handsome men and beautiful women.

…

The manager walked toward Zhang Xi. “I’ve told the director that the semi-finals would be live-streamed. Xi Xi, you have to prepare yourself.”

“It’ll be fine after a few more rehearsals. Get the fan club to gather more people and buy more tickets. That’ll be useful when the time comes.”

“No problem. No matter what, you’ve acc.u.mulated a lot of fans over the years. With these votes, you’ll be able to easily crush Xin Yue. I think she doesn’t even have a few hundred fans. There are only a few who adore her for her looks.”

“No problem. No matter what, you’ve acc.u.mulated a lot of fans over the years. With these votes, you’ll be able to easily crush Xin Yue for sure. I think she doesn’t even have a few hundred fans. There are only a few who adore her for her looks.

Moreover, people were already questioning why Xin Yue had such short screen time in the previous episodes.

If they continued to edit Xin Yue like that, it would probably arouse everyone’s rebellious thoughts.

It was better to live-stream it and let everyone vote during the live-stream.

Wasn’t it just a compet.i.tion of acting skills and experience?

Zhang Xi had ten years of experience, after all. How could she be inferior to a fledgling little girl like Xin Yue?

Coupled with her current fans, it was easy for her to win against Xin Yue.

In the semi-finals, Xin Yue had to be eliminated!

“Has the other matter been arranged?” Zhang Xi asked.

“It’s been arranged. Xin Yue will act with Zheng Lida this time. They’ll be acting as a couple, and there’s a kissing scene,” the manager said with a smile. “This is really a brilliant move. Not only can it tie Zheng Lida and Xin Yue together, but it can also s.h.i.+ft the attention on her to Lida. Lida will be able to use his skills to suppress Xin Yue and make everyone convinced of her elimination.”

“Then let’s arrange it. Let Lida and her be photographed.”

With Xin Yue’s status, if she was photographed with Zheng Lida, others would only say that she wanted to cling to Zheng Lida and take advantage of his popularity.

Not to mention anything else, it was possible for Zheng Lida’s current female fans to tear her apart.

…

At night…

Qiao Weiyang was about to pack her things and leave.

Xin Yue ran over and said, “Sister Weiyang, the production team wants to treat everyone to a meal. Are you leaving now?”

“I didn’t receive the notice. Who told you that?” Qiao Weiyang asked.

“An a.s.sistant. He gave me an address. It looks like a very proper restaurant.”

Qiao Weiyang’s expression turned serious. “Since it’s a gathering with the production team, I’ll go with you. Don’t panic. If someone is really causing trouble, we’ll know what’s going on when we go. Go ahead in your car, and my car will follow behind you.”

“Okay!” Although Xin Yue was innocent, she was still vigilant.

In the entertainment industry, it was always more difficult for women than for men. The industry had high expectations of women. Women were more susceptible to things like labels. This was also more harmful to women.

Xin Yue was a little nervous at first, but when she thought that Qiao Weiyang was here and there was nothing to worry about, she relaxed.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Qiao Weiyang and Xin Yue brought their respective a.s.sistants.

Before arriving, Qiao Weiyang even asked Lu Mingjue to bring a few other friends. They entered a private room of the restaurant in a grand manner.

In the private room…

Zheng Lida was already seated inside.

The paparazzi had already been invited. They were in the building opposite. When Xin Yue came in, everyone could take photos of the scene.

In front of Zheng Lida were red roses and candles. The lights were turned off, and the room was quiet and filled with romance.

The atmosphere was very lively.

Everything was in order.

Zheng Lida did not want to take this path to ride on a little girl’s popularity to maintain his popularity.

However, he followed Zhang Xi to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion this time because he carried the hopes of the company.

The predetermined winner was Zhang Xi.

If nothing went wrong, he would get second place.

But now, his popularity was far from enough. He didn’t stand out enough among the others, so it wouldn’t be possible for him to get second place in the finals.

Xin Yue’s popularity was slowly rising.

It seemed that this was the only way to eliminate Xin Yue and let him safely enter the finals.

He waited.

His cell phone rang. When he saw that it was Zhang Xi, he immediately picked it up.

“Are you ready?”

“Everything is ready, Ms. Zhang.”

“Yes, doing this will be enough to help you gain popularity for a while. Don’t go overboard and hurt your own fans,” Zhang Xi said. “When the time comes and criticisms come at you, you can explain the situation on Xin Yue’s behalf and better the public’s impression of you.”

“I’ve memorized everything,” Zheng Lida said.

“Alright, that’s it. Xin Yue should be here soon.”

Zheng Lida had just hung up when there was a knock on the door.

He wanted to get up and open the door, but he suddenly remembered that his position was the best place for the paparazzi to shoot. He did not move and said, “Come in.”

According to the plan, after Xin Yue pushed the door open, he would invite her to sit down and they would be photographed.

However, the moment the door was pushed open, more than ten people came in.

Xin Yue was surrounded and blocked.

Seeing Qiao Weiyang, Lu Mingjue, and a few other familiar faces, Zheng Lida’s face suddenly turned red. “You…”

“Xin Yue said that the production team was having a gathering here, and I happened to have nothing to do, so I came over. On the way, I met my manager who was having a meal with his friends, so we all came over to have some fun.” Qiao Weiyang put down her bag and sat down in front of Zheng Lida with everyone. “Why don’t I see the rest of the production team?”

“They… They haven’t arrived yet,” Zheng Lida said.

“Why aren’t the lights on?” Qiao Weiyang asked with a smile as if she didn’t know anything.

However, as soon as she entered, she could tell what was going on.

Zheng Lida might not do anything substantial to hurt Xin Yue, but with their current status, no matter what kind of news spread, outsiders would think that Xin Yue was taking advantage of him.

Coupled with the fact that she only had a few fans, Xin Yue would be blamed for anything.

Thinking of this, Qiao Weiyang’s expression turned cold. “Or do you have something serious and important to do tonight? Are we delaying you?”
