Some bystanders did express that Ren DongZhi was a strong candidate and a rare one that was strong at both singing and creativity at that. And that his performance was more eye-catching than number 2 during the competition. His victory was well deserved. But the words of the bystanders, under the fans who were united for once, were fragile. There were of no match to the fans who had joined forces and what their words were quickly drowned out.
As the comments from the fans mounted, even some of the bystanders were being influenced. They recalled times when they were stiffed by others who had connections and could relate to that. Gradually, they joined the fans in demanding for an explanation.
Everybody worked together in landing “The dark story behind Star of the Future” and “Tong Jiaming lost his victory unfairly” onto the most trending list. They were unstoppable and the anger was palpable. It would seem that this anger wanted to tear Shengxing into pieces.
XinYun, who had finally finished with wrapping up after the competition, was about to jump online and read about comments on their competition.
She was secretly quite proud of the competition that she had organized albeit there had been a lot of bumps along the way due to lack of experiences. The minor setbacks, nevertheless, did not negative impact the event overall. She and Zhong Yi would like to sign all four top candidates. All of them were promising and already came with their own fans. They had great futures in front of them. Tong Jiaming, especially, was one of the ones that she had high hopes for. Unfortunately, Tong Jiaming seemed to already have plans for his future and had declined her a while back. There was no point in forcing someone against their wish so she could only wish him luck as they had at least grown to know each other from the event.
When she opened up WeChat, on the other hand, the strong hostility turned into vines and gripped her heart tightly.
She was so angry that even her hands were shaking. The happiness that was in her before was wiped clean and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was very involved in the entire competition every step of the way and had consulted many in the field the exact rules. She had done her best to provide a transparent stage for all to see. She could honestly say that she had done nothing wrong yet she received such malicious words online. Li XinYun was no fool. Combing the direction of the public opinion online right now along with Tong Jiaming’s vague attitude from before, she figured out what was going on. Not only did Tong Jiaming already secured himself with a company, he planned to give himself a boost by stepping on them.
Surely her original intention of the competition was publicity for her new company but, after months of hard work along with all the time and effort that she had put into it, she had become attached to it. She could honestly say that she had never mistreated any one of them but, in return, she was stabbed in her back.
The look on her when she was looking for comfort was exactly the same as when she was still a child.
She had always come running to Fang JunRong every time when she was wronged with teary eyes just like she was right now. Over the years, many had changed and was different than how Fang JunRong had remembered them but her daughter was still that little girl who relied on her.
Zhong Yi felt very guilty. She had been careless and wasn’t mindful of that fact that she was now a public figure. Her carelessness allowed for that picture to be taken and it had turned into evidence by others that they had shady business going on behind the scene.
“Mom, I…”
Looking solemn, Fang JunRong asked them, “Why do you think they are doing this?”
XinYun took a deep breath and tried to keep her emotions under control. “For their own gain. In fan’s speech, they wanted to attract more fans and build their attack power by giving their idol a poor and victimized image. That would allow them to lock in more fans and pull their heart strings.” She had done a lot of homework recently.
