Chapter 124: This Was a Total Brain Fart

Page 1/3

Ji Donglai had a fondness for mature women.
Ms. Liu Ke was, without a doubt, the pinnacle among mature women.
Moreover,
Liu Ke’s ample bosom was enough to bewilder anyone who laid eyes on her.
Chen Fang actually wanted to say that the first time he visited the Xi family and saw Liu Ke, his gaze and thoughts were quite impure. But seeing Xi Yuanyuan’s angry expression, Chen Fang tactfully held back.
Never did he expect,
that he would find a kindred spirit in admiring good wives.
But unfortunately,
this kindred spirit was from the opposing family.
“Does your father know about this?”
Chen Fang was curious.
If Xi Dong knew someone was eyeing his wife, he would surely give Ji Donglai a beating!
Xi Yuanyuan shook her head: “I haven’t told my father. I only told him I don’t like Ji Donglai and that he’s banned from coming to our house again.”
It was hard to speak this matter out loud.
Xi Yuanyuan didn’t know how to explain it.
So,
she merely expressed her dislike for Ji Donglai to Xi Dong without revealing the details.
Xi Dong was a devoted husband and doting father, so if it came from Xi Yuanyuan or Liu Ke, he complied unconditionally. Since then, Ji Donglai never visited the Xi family again. Even if Xi Dong needed to meet him, it was always outside the home at some gathering—not once at home.
“So I have no good feelings toward Chuangxiang Entertainment; from top to bottom, they’re all bad news.” Even if Xi Yuanyuan were to switch companies, she would never choose Chuangxiang Entertainment.
Chen Fang nodded.
Ji Donglai liked good wives, favored mature women.
This was something to remember.
Perhaps,
it might come in handy someday.
While Chen Fang and Xi Yuanyuan chatted casually, the live event had already started the fan voting phase.
The large screen on stage displayed the voting results of the four groups. The song “Lady of Luxury” performed by Chen Fang and Wang Situ was leading by a wide margin from the very start, far outpacing the runner-up.
The second highest votes belonged to Dong Fen’s group.
Dong Fen’s performance was indeed impressive,
even better than Wang Situ’s in some respects.
Only some flaws in the song lowered his score.
What surprised Chen Fang was the close vote count between the third and fourth places—Duke’s group and Qiao Yuezhu’s group were neck and neck, sometimes one leading by a few dozen votes, then the other by hundreds, but never a significant gap.
Zheng Wenyan was, after all, a minor star.
Was his fanbase really so weak?
Of course,
Chen Fang was not the only one puzzled.
Even Zheng Wenyan himself was bewildered—where was his fifty million-strong army? Why weren’t they showing up when it mattered?
In reality,
many of those fifty million fans were fake.
Chuangxiang Entertainment had purchased a large number of bot accounts for him. Setting those aside, his actual fan count was only about twenty million.
Additionally,

Recently, Qian had publicly criticized Chuangxiang Entertainment.
Many people began to doubt the company, and its artists suffered collateral damage.
Ultimately,
the most crucial reason was that paparazzi had caught Zheng Wenyan and Qiao Yuezhu entering and leaving the same hotel.
It should be noted,
Zheng Wenyan was married.
He portrayed himself as a harmonious family man to his fans, a picture of marital bliss. But being caught at a hotel with Qiao Yuezhu shattered that image instantly.
Unfortunately,
Zheng Wenyan was unaware of all this.
He never carried his phone during shows; it had become a habit.
Thus,
he remained oblivious to everything happening online.
Among the tens of thousands of audience members, many scrolled through their phones and saw the exposé about Zheng Wenyan and Qiao Yuezhu entering the hotel, sparking a flurry of gossip.
At the judges’ table,
the four judges were not allowed to bring phones.
Hearing the murmurs from the crowd, they exchanged puzzled looks.
“What are they talking about?”
“Not sure, can’t hear clearly.”
“Seems to be about Zheng Wenyan.”
“I heard his name too.”
The four judges looked at each other, baffled, unable to understand what had happened.
Time ticked by.
The voting slowed down, nearing its end.
The results were clear:
Chen Fang and Wang Situ topped the judges’ scores and fan votes.
Dong Fen ranked second in both judges’ scores and fan votes.
These two rankings were expected.
The focus was on the last two groups.
Duke’s group was ranked fourth by the judges but third in fan votes.
Zheng Wenyan and Qiao Yuezhu were third by judges but fourth in fan votes.
Indeed,
Zheng Wenyan lost.
In the fan voting stage, he didn’t just lose to Chen Fang but also to two rookies, Dong Fen and Duke.
In the green room,
Zheng Wenyan’s face darkened as he shoved Qiao Yuezhu aside and stood up angrily: “Impossible! I suspect the production team is rigging this!”
With such a huge fanbase,
how could he get so few votes?!!
Ke Min, bored, glanced at her phone’s trending searches.
In an instant,
she froze.

A few seconds later,
Ke Min looked at Zheng Wenyan and Qiao Yuezhu with a strange expression: “King Zheng, it seems you’re in some trouble...”
No,
it was more accurate to say all three of them were in trouble.
Zheng Wenyan and Qiao Yuezhu were exposed for checking into a hotel; as her client’s manager, Ke Min couldn’t escape blame.
Zheng Wenyan felt a chill and snatched the phone to look at the screen. The more he read, the darker his face became, eventually turning deadly pale, as if ready to devour someone.
The next moment,
Zheng Wenyan strode out of the green room.
Seeing this,
Ke Min called out, “King Zheng, the show isn’t over yet.”
Zheng Wenyan didn’t respond and hurriedly left.
The show was nothing!
His entire career was on the line!
His top priority was to get back to Chuangxiang Entertainment and strategize with his manager, to quickly suppress the trending topic and prevent more people from seeing it.
Qiao Yuezhu was dumbfounded.
What had happened?
Why had the pillar she was leaning on run off?
Ke Min sighed deeply.
What kind of curse had she brought upon herself?
Since meeting Chen Fang, her luck had plummeted, as if a jinx had possessed her—one misfortune after another.
Stay away from Chen Fang, treasure your life.
If she couldn’t confront him, could she not avoid him?
With this thought,
Ke Min also prepared to run.
She had hoped Qiao Yuezhu would make a comeback, but now it seemed even Qiao Yuezhu’s own position was unstable.
“I have something to do.”
Ke Min slipped away swiftly.
Qiao Yuezhu was even more confused.
Why was everyone leaving?
A bad feeling flickered in her heart. Just as she reached to check the trending searches online, a staff member came to remind her it was time to go on stage to announce the final results.
Qiao Yuezhu frowned deeply.
Zheng Wenyan had fled; did she still have to go on stage?
After some thought,
she decided she must go.
She was dissatisfied with her results and wanted to demand an explanation.
Frankly,
Qiao Yuezhu must have been out of her mind these days.
Had she spent even a single minute online, she would never have dared to take the stage.
But obviously, her brain was flooded with nonsense; she couldn’t think clearly, hadn’t noticed Zheng Wenyan and Ke Min’s odd behavior, and cheerfully walked onto the stage.
