Here Comes Something Explosive!

Jiang Xinran had been well trained since a young age and was proficient in the four arts: zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting.

Yu Zhenling even bought insurance for her hands.

Hearing that she was going to watch Jiang Xinran practice the piano, Old Master Jiang glanced at her and said nothing, making a sound to acknowledge her and turning smile at the nurse by his side. "Xiao Li, don't you also watch Best Idol? Let me show you my granddaughter."

Xiao Li had heard Old Master Jiang mention his granddaughter, Meng Fu more than once during his hospital stay. She had watched a lot of videos about Best Idol on the internet, most of which featured Ye Shuning and sometimes Meng Fu. However, the videos all criticized Meng Fu. Many people on the internet felt that she must have paid money to rank fourth in the online poll.

"Mr. Jiang, I still have to do my job…" Xiao Li was not really interested in Old Master Jiang's suggestion of watching Meng Fu's performance.

Old Master Jiang waved his hand. "It's okay. I will give you half-day off today. Let's watch it together. Remember to vote for my granddaughter."

The nurse smiled helplessly. "Well, Mr. Jiang, I will send the items needed for the examination to the head nurse first.

Yu Zhenling put her hand on the door. The corner of her mouth twitched when she heard this. The nurse obviously did not want to watch Meng Fu's performance, but Yu Zhenling did not say a word. She opened the door and went out. She wondered what was wrong with the Old Master.

She shook her head slightly.

Nurse Xiao Li sent the things back, looked at the head nurse, and said helplessly, "Mr. Jiang asked me to watch his granddaughter's variety show with him."

"Go." The head nurse was probably in her thirties and she was a gentle-mannered lady. She whispered softly, "Even if you don't want to watch her granddaughter's performance, you can look at Ye Shuning. You can praise the Old Master's granddaughter. You can praise her for her good looks. You don't have to say anything else."

Xiao Li sighed and went to watch the show that was broadcast at 12 o'clock today with Mr. Jiang.

Because he had to wait for Xiao Li to watch the show with him, Old Master Jiang waited for half an hour for her. Xiao Li helped him project the video from his cell phone to the TV. As it was broadcast on the Internet, Xiao Li consulted Old Master Jiang and opened the bullet screen.

The episode of Best Idol lasted three and a half hours, from grouping to practicing, and to public performance. It was a very high quality episode. As soon as the show started, there were close-up shots of Ye Shuning and Nan Qiu. There were very few shots of Meng Fu, most of them focused on her face.

[Ah… Shuning! Shuning!]

[Just a passer-by fan. I have to say something. Ye Shuning dances vigorously, looks good, and works hard. I am her fan.]

[Meng Fu, you should scram! This is disgusting! The so-called Best Idol should be called Predetermined Idol.]

[…]

The nurse looked a little embarrassed. She usually watched the edited video. She did not expect that there would be so many malicious comments toward Meng Fu on the bullet screen. It was no wonder Yu Zhenling did not want to watch the show. She looked at Old Master Jiang, who was watching the show calmly. She could not help but admire him.

Due to the limited number of close-up shots, when the mentors gave their ratings, the camera zoomed in on Ye Shuning, Nan Qiu, and the other more popular contestants. The only shot of Meng Fu was when Tang Ze gave Meng Fu a C rating.

[C? Is this a fake rating?]

[It worked off my anger seeing that Mentor Xi left in anger! Mentor Xi is the only one who acted truthfully on the entire program crew.]

[C? Mentor Tang, what happened to your standing of being unsullied and refreshing in the entertainment industry? Why has it turned out this way?]

[Is she worthy of a C?]

If Zhao Fan were here, she would have noticed that the program crew was deliberately doing all this to create hype and stir up drama. After receiving their ratings, the trainees were divided into groups.

[Ha ha ha ha xswl1. It seems that every girl knows that Meng Fu is doomed to fail.]

[This is too real!]

[If they are in the same group as Ye Shuning, it will mean an easy victory 23332]

[Is Chu Yue crazy? I remembered that Wei Jin's ranking is very low. With Meng Fu on the team, she will definitely not get the popular vote and be eliminated. I feel sorry for Ms. Wei Jin.]

Among the comments, there were a few that commented on the live performance.

[Ms. Meng Fu is great. They won.]

[wtf? Does Meng Fu have a strong fan base? Does it mean that I can debut in a central role as well?]

[If they can win, I would do a live-stream of an impossible mission (smile)]

[…]

The program was structured such that it was full of ups and downs. Before it was over, there were already hot threads on Weibo.

"Predetermined Idol Meng Fu".

When it was time for the girls' performance, there were not as many comments. The audience and people who left comments were focused on watching the girls they liked. Ye Shuning's team was the penultimate performance. Theirs could be considered the finale.

The next performance was Meng Fu's and Chu Yue's teams. People who watched the show started to comment again.

[This is the live public execution scene.]

[Public execution.]

[The program crew is an expert at scheduling them. They put Meng Fu right after Ye Shuning, so that we can compare them. It is like watching a performance that is doomed to fail.]

[It's Meng Fu again. Look at her stiff limbs. Disgusting.]

[Is that the trainee who didn't even go to high school? Now anyone can be a star.]

[I shan't watch anymore. I am leaving.]

[…]

The occasional comment or two that showed support for Meng Fu were drowned out by the anti-fans' comments. Xiao Li could not stand it anymore, she glanced at Old Master Jiang again. He sat upright, watching the show seriously with his eyes fixed to the screen.

Xiao Li smiled awkwardly and she returned to watching the show. The screen suddenly dimmed. There was nothing but the bullet screen.

Boom!

The lights in the middle came on suddenly, illuminating all of the girls for the camera. Meng Fu wore a black T-shirt, tights, and her face was almost covered by a baseball cap, revealing a pair of cold eyes.

[Damn???]

[She seems to be very cool?]

What the internet said was true. No matter how harsh the criticism was, no one could criticize Meng Fu's looks. Someone on the bullet screen said that Meng Fu had no real ability. It was time for her performance. She pressed her cap down and started the opening dance.

Upon reaching the end of the performance, Meng Fu pressed her cap down, raised her head, and struck a finishing pose. She still had the same expression on her face. There was a misty, devilish, and seductive look in her alluring eyes.

The atmosphere heated up. The whole stage belonged to her. The entire screen seemed to have been cleaned. It was empty of any comments. After a while, loud screams could be heard. Someone cursed and swore while taking a screenshot.

[Damn, there's no way we can criticize her.]

[We shall do that next time.]

[Well, where're her haters?]

Everyone had finished their performance and it was time to reveal the ranks. The ranks of the first few people in Meng Fu's group were announced and all of them ended up at the bottom few places.

[I have to say something. Meng Fu's performance was fine this time. The main reason is the difference in votes between her and Ye Shuning is too big. 689 votes. It is difficult to surpass this figure.]

[This is so unfortunate for Ms. Wei Jin. I am a fan of her.]

After watching the show, Old Master Jiang looked at Xiao Li with a smile. "How is my granddaughter's performance?"

While watching the show, Xiao Li silently voted for Meng Fu. She clutched her heart, glanced at Old Master Jiang, and tried to restrain herself. "Ms. Meng is too beautiful! I feel sorry for Wei Jin from her group. She is also very lovely."

People made similar comments on the bullet screen. Apart from Meng Fu, Wei Jin was another gem on the show. The show was coming to an end. There was a sudden change on the bullet screen.

[Here comes something explosive!!]

[Overkill!!!]

[All the famous scenes are here! Check in!]

The super VIP red bullet screen appeared.

[Ah…!! Something eye-catching is coming!! Warning of something super explosive!!!]
