Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the new year, the other two blossoming newcomers were still in the ranks. However, Lin Che and Qin Wanwan were admitted into the top ten and could participate in the awards night. They could compete for the top three positions.
Once Qin Wanwan entered, everyone said that Qin Wanwan was really capable. She was so pretty and had so many fans. She was such a nice person and had a great affinity with people.
Once Qin Wanwan entered, she saw a few teachers whom she had worked with before and immediately went to greet them. The teachers chatted with her. The other students could only watch in envy.
After that, in the restroom.
Qin Wanwan’s manager looked at Qin Wanwan, “Lin Che is done for this time. She previously had a higher rank than you. It’s too bad that she has already fallen out of the top ten now. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to catch up to you.”
Qin Wanwan washed her hands, “It’s best if you can guarantee it. Will I definitely be in the top three and get the grand award?”
“Basically, yes. I’m trying to force her out of the nominations. Otherwise, we’ll continue demanding an apology from her. Her reputation is completely tarnished and she can’t compete with you. I told you that I would definitely be able to help you become the top dog if you join our company. Just relax.”
Qin Wanwan smiled victoriously. She looked at her own face in the mirror, looking as if she was crushing Lin Che under her feet right now.
Sister Lin said, “Relax and wait for your award this year.”
Lin Che asked for a day off from the teachers. She wanted to personally submit the documents for the Gold Medal Award.
Yu Minmin and Lin Che reached the Gold Medal Award’s jury. Seeing that Lin Che was still looking at her Weibo, Yu Minmin said, “You better not look at it anymore.”
Lin Che leaned against her seat and said lethargically, “No no no, I need to torture myself or I can’t take it. These people are really... How can they believe that I would have the capability to give Qin Wanwan some disfiguring drug? If I was really so capable, I would have simply used a lethal drug and killed her off. Why would I go through the hassle of disfiguring her?”
“That’s enough. The fans and audience will only believe what they want to believe. They don’t care if it’s true or not. Those fans who believe you right now only don’t dare to speak out. When the truth comes out, they will know how wrong they are now.”
After they registered with the jury, Lin Che waited outside.
Not long later, someone from the jury came out and said, “Miss Lin.”
Lin Che quickly stood up.
He said, “Congratulations, you’ve been nominated for the Gold Medal Award’s Best Female Lead.”
Lin Che looked at him and didn’t dare to believe him, “Really? I can be nominated? Oh my God, no way. I feel like I’m going to faint.”
The jury member laughed and said, “The news will most likely only be out after a while, but it’s already decided that you’ll be included.”
Yu Minmin held Lin Che’s hand and said, “Congratulations to you!”
Lin Che and Yu Minmin hugged, never expecting that there would be such a surprise in her unluckiest period now. This gave her a glimmer of hope.
When the two of them went out, Yu Minmin said, “We’re not going to apologize now, but I will announce that you’re backing out of this year’s artists award.”
“Okay.”
“After that, everyone will definitely think that you admitted defeat and will run you down even more.”
“Forget it! Let them hit me with whatever they got!”
“Yes. When the news of the Gold Medal Award comes out, they’ll then realize how wrong they all were.”
Lin Che looked at Yu Minmin and smiled.
“Also, regarding Qin Wanwan, I’ll go investigate it. Relax and attend your classes. Don’t think too much and distance yourself from Qin Wanwan.”
Lin Che nodded, “I didn’t think that Qin Wanwan would actually be so scary.”
Yu Minmin said, “It seems like she’s also a very cunning person.”
“Yes. I didn’t really like her from the beginning, but I never found her that annoying. I just thought that although she was very polite, she wasn’t someone who I could get too close to.”
—
In the afternoon, Lin Che officially announced on Weibo that she was backing out from the artists award.
This made many people happy.
Netizens all said, “Is Lin Che silently admitting to it? Why else would she back out from the awards?”
“I guess she’s afraid of getting bashed. Even if she didn’t back out herself, she was already kicked out far away by Qin Wanwan.”
Some official accounts on Weibo also said that there was insider information saying that Lin Che and Qin Wanwan’s crew made an agreement. If Lin Che backed out from the awards, they would not pursue this drug matter. If she didn’t back out, they would sue Lin Che. That was why Lin Che had no choice but to back out.
This piece of news was obviously released by Qin Wanwan’s crew. Lin Che silently thought that Sister Yu’s prediction was right. There would have been no use apologizing. Sister Lin would never have let go of such a good opportunity and would have definitely leaked something out. Even if she apologized, backed out, and completely submitted to them, they would have still made everyone know that it was Lin Che who did it. They would have made Lin Che’s name known.
However, Lin Che only backed out from the awards. There was no other news and she didn’t apologize.
Everyone was still guessing whether Lin Che was preparing to apologize or planning to remain stubborn.
All the way until the night, everyone was still waiting for the apology. Meanwhile, Qin Wanwan’s side was still driving this issue. They released news saying that they sent Qin Wanwan’s medicine for testing. They found a drug that was used to treat skin stiffness. Eating too much of it would have caused the skin to sag and be disfigured.
Everyone instantly thought that it was so scary. They all posted on Qin Wanwan’s Weibo, sympathizing with her for escaping such a scary plot.
Lin Che attended the class again the next day.
Regarding yesterday’s day off from class, everyone already thought about the situation in their heads. They wondered if Lin Che wouldn’t come because she didn’t dare to see Qin Wanwan.
Thus, seeing Lin Che appear in the classroom today, everyone kept staring at her. They were full of curiosity, scorn, and mockery.
However, Lin Che pretended not to see them and simply returned to her seat.
At the side, Xiaoqing still gave her yesterday’s notes. She was still Lin Che and was still a famous star. They also didn’t want to directly offend Lin Che. Who knew who would be suddenly become popular again in this circle?
Just then, Qin Wanwan entered and was very different from Lin Che. She had a spring in her steps and the cold she caught previously seemed to have already been cured. She saw Lin Che, quickly went to her and asked pretentiously, “Lin Che, what happened to you yesterday? Why did you suddenly not come? I was worried sick about you.”
Lin Che smiled, “Something cropped up so I couldn’t come.”
Everyone heard this and couldn’t help but snicker. Something cropped up? More like she was too embarrassed to show her face.
Qin Wanwan looked at her pitifully. Then, a teacher arrived, a master of show business. Although she wasn’t famous anymore, she had always been a revered teacher.
Qin Wanwan saw and quickly said, “I’m going over to greet her. She used to be my senior.”
