“Do not question my decision,” Ji Zhixian looked down at her, his tone as arrogant as always. “From now on, in front of me, you must always imitate Tang Feifei’s manner.”
“And, you’re not allowed to enter my study or music room. Understood?”
“I have absolutely no interest in your study or music room. You can rest assured,” Lin Xiaoman raised her head, her gaze becoming sharp.
Ji Zhixian was stunned but quickly recovered: “Good, that’s exactly right.”
“Don’t worry,” Lin Xiaoman curved her mouth, looking confident. “My learning ability is very strong.”
Ji Zhixian’s icy expression softened slightly, and his tone became a bit gentler: “You still have a long way to go.”
Chapter 16: Rumors
Because of the intense training these past few days, Lin Xiaoman went to bed very early.
When she woke up the next day, she first started browsing her phone. As soon as she opened Weibo, she saw the top trending topic was “‘Create an Idol’ First Place Undeserving, Sparking Controversy”.
Clicking on it, she saw a big V account called “Zhao Bei Masses” posting a Weibo questioning whether there was a backstage deal in “Create an Idol”, claiming the first place contestant’s singing and dancing were quite ordinary, and believing Wei Qinghuan should have been first.
The Weibo comments were full of supportive remarks:
— Right, our Huan Huan was clearly in the C position during the dance, but was later robbed of the position. Isn’t Fake Fei too shameless?
— A slacker like this can actually get first place? The backstage manipulation is too obvious!
— Voting at the last minute is just disgusting.
— Lin Xiaoman can debut? I’ll chip in for her funeral.
— Finally someone dares to speak up. I’ve always felt something was wrong.
…
Lin Xiaoman scrolled further back and found some posts defending her, mentioning she had performed while injured, but these comments were pushed to the back pages and hardly noticed.
Lin Xiaoman browsed through the big V’s Weibo and discovered all his posts were criticisms of various entertainment industry events.
Whenever there was any wind or grass movement in the entertainment circle, he would find an angle to attack, gaining popularity and increasing his followers. Most of those he attacked were small celebrities, though these celebrities’ fan bases were larger than his, bringing him some follower growth.
