Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The groupmates felt that Lin Shanchu made sense.

Hence, they all returned to their dorms to sleep.

The members from the other groups wanted to see how Lin Shanchu’s group was doing, but they did not expect to see that the training room was empty. “Did Lin Shanchu and the others go back to sleep at such an early hour?”

“Oh my god, are they planning to give up on themselves? It’s better to practice for a while than not practicing at all, right?”

“Didn’t you see how her groupmates were giving her the cold shoulder during the rehearsal today? If her groupmates aren’t willing to cooperate, tomorrow’s official performance will probably be…”

“If they were to dance like this tomorrow, they’d definitely get scolded by the audience…”

Xia Jinmeng stood in the crowd and listened to the members’ discussions. A smile gradually appeared on her face.

She had spent so much effort before, and yet she still couldn’t get rid of Lin Shanchu. However, she didn’t expect Lin Shanchu to go down the path of destruction on her own.

Her group’s rehearsal went very poorly earlier that day, and yet Lin Shanchu slacked off and refused to practice.

If the news were to spread, Lin Shanchu would definitely get scolded by the audience.

Xia Jinmeng thought about it and came up with a plan.

The results of Lin Shanchu’s performance tomorrow could already be predicted. She would definitely fail in the showdown.

This was a good time to pull Lin Shanchu down from her position.

If Xia Jinmeng wanted things to go smoothly, she’d need outside help. Xia Jinmeng avoided the crowd and tracked Jiang Ziyu down.

“Call Tang Qidai.”

Xia Jinmeng carefully observed her surroundings, paying attention to whether anyone was coming her way.

She couldn’t let anyone know about her secret exchanges with Tang Qidai.

As Tang Qidai’s loyal lackey, Jiang Ziyu was just as happy as the last time to help her call Tang Qidai.

After all, he did not dare to call Tang Qidai on his own accord.

Tang Qidai knew that Xia Jinmeng was looking for her again the moment she saw the caller ID.

The incident last time had blown up so much that she hadn’t even settled the score with Xia Jinmeng yet, but Xia Jinmeng had taken the initiative to appear right in front of her.

“How dare you call me? Don’t you know that Brother Shiyuan was also involved in the previous incident?”

Xia Jinmeng was frustrated when her previous plan had failed.

However, she still wanted to continue working with Tang Qidai to deal with Lin Shanchu, so she could only swallow her anger.

“It’s different this time. We had a rehearsal tonight, didn’t we? Lin Shanchu’s group had completely flopped. There was no unity between the groupmates at all. They only performed the opening of the dance before getting off the stage!” “Really?” Tang Qidai asked suspiciously.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Jiang Ziyu. He was also at the scene.” Xia Jinmeng passed the phone to Jiang Ziyu.

Jiang Ziyu took the phone. “Yup. Lin Shanchu’s group performed badly. The director was so angry that he didn’t even eat dinner.”

“It’s only the first public showdown, and yet Lin Shanchu’s going to be destroyed. As expected, nothing can help her out in life.” Tang Qidai knew that Jiang Ziyu would not lie to her.

Lin Shanchu was trash!

It was true that Lin Shanchu met Lu Shiyuan before Tang Qidai.

Lin Shanchu’s grades were always better than hers.

But what good did it do for her?

She was still able to screw everything up even with the good hand of cards dealt to her!

How could Lin Shanchu possibly win against Tang Qidai?

Xia Jinmeng could feel that Tang Qidai was a little moved as well. She quickly said, “We can take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate Lin

Shanchu from the debut list.”

“I have my own arrangements,” Tang Qidai replied with a sneer.

Lin Shanchu had been in the limelight during this period of time.

She wanted Lin Shanchu to leave the production crew with a ruined reputation!

The next morning.

The broadcasting camera in the dormitory was turned on.

The recording would officially start in the afternoon, so the members all got up early to put on their makeup.

The first batch of viewers arrived at the live broadcast room.

[Long time no see, beauties!] [You’re up so early! You’ve been working very hard!]

[Why isn’t Lin Shanchu there?]

[Does anyone know how Lin Shanchu’s “Death of the Universe” rehearsal went?]

[I heard rumors claiming that the group performed poorly during the rehearsal of “Death of the Universe”!]

[That’s a hoax, right? I saw many people spamming on the show’s official thread, saying that the rehearsal went super well…] contemporary romance

The director was so worried about the rehearsal yesterday that he didn’t sleep well.

He had nightmares the entire night.

In his nightmares, the official performance of “Death of the Universe” was so bad that the audience in the studio started hurling rotten eggs at the group members.

However, as soon as he started working, he found out that the commenters were all discussing Lin Shanchu and “Death of the Universe”, which made him more anxious.

So, the director waited on the route that was necessary to reach the cafeteria from the members’ dormitories.

After spotting Lin Shanchu, he pretended to meet her by chance.

“Lin Shanchu! Ahem!” He frantically shot meaningful looks at Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu immediately understood.

She walked up to the director and stared at the director’s head, which was getting balder, for two seconds before asking, “What is it?”

“I heard that your group didn’t practice much last night, and instead went to bed. Have you already given up?” The director asked as he tugged at the remaining strands of hair he had.

Lin Shanchu blinked before replying vaguely, “Yeah.”

The director only knew how to set her up just to reap the ratings.

Now, he was finally afraid of the consequences!

The director’s face fell. “Then… what should we do?”

Lin Shanchu replied, “Nothing.”

The director was speechless.

Lin Shanchu looked at the director’s head again. “Relax, or else your hair will fall out even more. I’m going to go eat breakfast now…”

Speechless, the director thought, “How could she still eat breakfast at a time like this?”

The director touched his balding head and returned to his office.

“Director, ‘Death of the Universe’ is now a trending topic.” The assistant pushed the door open and entered.

The director felt his temples throbbing. “What happened?”

The assistant showed the director his phone.

The topic #Lin Shanchu’s “Death of the Universe” was ranked high on the entertainment list.

The director tapped on it and almost fainted.

The first few Weibo gosts on that tonic were all talking about how awesome Lin Shanchu’s rehearsal for “Death of the Universe” was.

[Rumor has it that Lin Shanchu’s performance rehearsal for “Death of the

Universe” was very explosive. I’m looking forward to it…]

Following that, the netizens started discussing more.

[The production crew must have boosted this trending topic. In a way, this means Lin Shanchu’s “Death of the Universe” performance must be decent.]

[Now that you mention it, I’m really looking forward to it.]

[Looks like “Death of the Universe” will be the dark horse of the first public showdown.

[What time does the official live broadcast start? I’ll go to the live broadcast room to reserve a spot…]

Everyone in the production crew knew about Lin Shanchu’s rehearsal yesterday. They were definitely not the ones boosting the popularity of the topic.

That meant Lin Shanchu’s arch-nemesis could be the only one behind the trending topic!

They deliberately raised the audience’s expectations of Lin Shanchu’s performance. If the official performance did not meet the audience’s expectations, Lin Shanchu would be criticized heavily.

Even the popularity that she had painstakingly accumulated during this period of time would probably return to its former state.

The director’s entire body went numb.

He really didn’t understand. Lin Shanchu was just a small fry before entering the festival group. How was she able to gain so many arch-nemeses?

At this point, the director could only call President Nan to discuss the matter.

As soon as the call connected, Nan Mu smiled and asked, “You’re calling me because of Lin Shanchu again, right?”

Nan Mu had already concluded that 99% of the director’s calls were related to Lin Shanchu..
