Chapter 780: Buy Votes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The makeup artist did not dare to say anything. As a makeup artist, he was in close contact with artistes, and he had to keep his mouth shut.

Otherwise, if word got out that he was talking about artistes, no one would work with him in the future.

So the makeup artist shook his head. “Please don’t make things difficult for me.

I can’t talk about artistes. I can’t say anything good or bad.”

The makeup artist cupped his hands and asked them to spare him.

They thought about it and did not make things difficult for him. They gathered together and guessed.

At 8 pm, “Blazing Talents!” And “Superpower 1 to 1” was released on their respective platforms at the same time.

Some of the spectators who did not watch the livestream had seen the netizens on Weibo say that Jiang Xun’s performance was very good, so they went to watch “Blazing Talents!”

After all, they could freely watch the episodes at any time. They could finish watching “Blazing Talents!” and go on to watch “Superpower 1 to 1,” not missing either of the shows.

After watching, they all went to vote.

Jiang Xun still didn’t know what she looked like on stage.

Therefore, after the episode of “Blazing Talents!” aired, Jiang Xun also took a look and found that her performance was not bad. She was satisfied.

She looked at the voting again.

The number of people who felt that she was not qualified to be a mentor was increasing by a small margin.

Actually, it wasn’t obvious. Ordinary people couldn’t tell.

However, Jiang Xun was not an ordinary person.

She looked at the numbers and began to calculate the speed of the increase in the number of people who voted against her, as well as the speed compared to yesterday.

She also calculated how long it would take to catch up with the number of people who voted for her at this speed.

Jiang Xun: “System, is my calculation correct?”

The System was speechless. “Yes, Host, your calculations are accurate. If things continue at this rate, before tonight at 12 0’clock, the votes against your qualification as a mentor will surpa.s.s the votes supporting you. By the time the voting closes at midnight, they will have a significant lead.”

Jiang Xun: “This growth rate is not right.”

System: “There is indeed something wrong, but it’s temporarily impossible to confirm the status of the voting accounts.”

Jiang Xun: “As the system, can you directly enter the Weibo system and check the voting IDs?”

The System replied, “The System cannot interfere with the affairs of this world. The system could only guide and a.s.sist the host, and could not interfere with the host’s actions.”

Jiang Xun: “In other words, you have the ability, but you can’t do it.”

The System paused, and replied, “That’s right.”

The System said, ‘However, you can ask your friend for help.”

Jiang Xun also thought of Bingbing.

However, before Jiang Xun could find him, Bingbing had already found her on

WeChat.

Bingbing: [Boss, did you see the poll you posted on Weibo?]

Jiang Xun: [I’ve just seen it. I’ve calculated it. The rate of increase in the number of negative votes is a little abnormal.]

Bingbing: [There are only two hours left until the voting closes. If we disregard the fans’ words and focus on the feedback from the general public, everyone who has seen your performance voted for you. The sudden surge of votes against you is definitely not normal.]

Bingbing: [I’ll go and find out what’s going on with those IDs.]

Jiang Xun: [Sure.]

With Jiang Xun’s approval, Bingbing happily went to investigate.

The three roommates and the school bully trio were not idle either.

The three schoolmates directly questioned this matter in the ship’s fan page.

Fengjiang Came True Today: [Originally, the increase in the number of votes was very normal. However, in the last three hours, a large number of votes suddenly voted for [Jiang Xun is not qualified to be a mentor]. It’s not that they can’t vote against it, but the number of votes is increasing at an abnormal rate.

It’s really suspicious.]

My Ship Set Sail: [Exactly! Moreover, as long as anyone has seen Jiang Xun’s performance, they all say it’s excellent. Where did these sudden votes against her come from?]

Fengjiang Harder: [We welcome fair compet.i.tion, but using improper means to push Jiang Xun out of the show is disgusting. Jiang Xun has always relied on her talent and achievements. She has never used such tricks!]

Jiang Xun switched to the account “Jiang Xun Anti” and asked in the group.

Jiang Xun Anti: [Is there anyone who bought votes?]

The antis were dumbfounded. [No, we antis are also fair.]

[That’s right. Didn’t we apologize when Jiang Xun asked us to? When we are wrong, we admit it. We have apologized so many times, so this is not the last time. There’s no need for us to buy votes.]

[Yes, I’m actually already prepared to apologize to Jiang Xun.]

[I don’t think it’s everyone either. Now that the votes are increasing at an abnormal rate, pa.s.sersby, netizens, and fans on Weibo are cursing crazily. They’ve all placed the blame on us, the antis. It’s really too unjust.]

[This is too unjust! We didn’t do it. You can’t slander us.]

[To be honest, I think Jiang Xun’s performance this time was not bad, so I voted in favor.]

[Me too. I can’t go against my conscience just because I don’t want to apologize.]

[We admitted our mistakes when we were at fault, but we can’t accept the blame for something we didn’t do.]

[Wait, there are so many people in the group. Did someone secretly spend money to buy votes? If you did, speak up. Don’t make us as a group pay for your personal actions.]

[Yes, step forward. We don’t accept such underhanded methods.]

[I’ll say it first. I didn’t do it.]

[Neither did I.]

The people online in the group had all expressed their stance. None of them did it.

Even though Jiang Xun couldn’t prove it, she felt that there was a high chance that it wasn’t done by these antis.

Whether or not to say it, these antis were still particular about how they did things.

They had been slandering her for so long and had even contributed so many merit points to her, but they had not done anything evil.
