Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Chapter 22 The Unpopular Cannon Fodder in Variety Shows

Everyone knows Dacheng Entertainment. He Yuling and He Yuqi are both pawns of the company. One is a labor machine that manages artists, while the other is a perpetual supporting character.

He Yuling had a bad reputation before, and anyone could take a jab at her. In other people's eyes, He Yuling was an artist embroiled in scandals, and people would believe anyone who said anything bad about her.

It has been revealed before that He Yuling's previous stage performances were actually lip-synced, but Da Cheng Entertainment has never clarified this.

Unfortunately, most people believed it, and the incident became a laughing stock for He Yuling.

At this moment, Jiang Ji deliberately brought up these things and even called He Yuling "teacher," which was an absolute taunt.

According to the original plan, He Yuling was supposed to act arrogantly and boast a few words.

In this way, everyone will think that Jiang Ji is humble and polite, while He Yuling is a good-for-nothing who is all show and no self-awareness.

However, when He Yuling looked up, she saw that her few fans had been squeezed into a corner by Jiang Ji's many fans, and the camera in front of her was filming her.

Who's watching behind the screen?

Scenes from the talent show flashed through He Yuling's mind; he was singing on stage, and his name occupied almost half of the audience seats.

He Yuling still vividly remembers how these fans turned against him and abandoned him; he was disappointed at the time.

So-called fans are just a group of blind people who like to spread rumors. As soon as they hear even a little bit of bad news about him from others, their former affection will turn into a sharp blade and stab him hard.

At the time, He Yuling was subjected to a barrage of insults and online smear campaigns. She felt that those people wished they could grind her to dust.

But what did he do wrong? Why should he be treated like this?

As if she was angry with those people, He Yuling gradually accepted their dislike.

Hate me, the more you hate me, the happier I am. You want me dead, but I'll live on and make you furious.

That was He Yuling's thought at the time, but now...

It seems he isn't without admirers, but how long will this current admiration last?

It's unclear whether it was to avoid disappointing those fans, or whether He Yuling herself was simply unhappy.

He looked at Jiang Ji and smiled, "I heard you became a mentor, and even Senior Hao Li has to accept your comments. I should be the one calling you teacher."

Upon hearing this, everyone else cast surprised or angry glances at He Yuling.

Just last week, Jiang Ji became a mentor on a music variety show and was criticized on social media for commenting on an older singer.

The veteran singer is Hao Li, whom He Yuling mentioned. Twenty years ago, her songs were popular all over the country, and she was extremely popular at the time.

She later retired due to illness, and this time she wanted to make a comeback through a music variety show. After she sang an old song, Jiang Ji commented that the lyrics were difficult to pronounce and the melody was too common.

Jiang Ji presented himself as impartial and incorruptible, eliminating people regardless of whether they were seniors or not.

He thought his actions would be praised for being fair and just, but instead he was criticized by Hao Li's regrouped fans and became a trending topic.

The program immediately issued an apology and terminated its contract with Jiang Ji.

After that, Jiang Ji removed the trending topic, issued a clarification, and her fans defended her. Now, it seems that everyone has forgotten about this incident.

Now, after He Yuling brought it up, the tone of the live stream comments suddenly changed, and even Jiang Ji's fans felt embarrassed.

Jiang Ji's high-definition videos commenting on his seniors are everywhere, so Jiang Ji can't deny it.

He hadn't expected He Yuling to say that, and immediately his expression turned fierce: "He Yuling, what are you saying?"

He Yuling blinked, as if she had been scolded, and whispered, "Ah? I, I'm sorry, I didn't know I couldn't say that..."

Jiang Ji's expression turned even uglier; he should have been the one saying these things.

Did He Yuling pick up the wrong script?

The same goes for everyone else. Has He Yuling gone mad today?

Jiang Ji's angry expression had already been broadcast live, and those present had captured the moment on camera.

Some people find it hard to believe that Jiang Ji, who is usually gentle and kind, is actually like this.

This is just like the face of a vicious mother-in-law in the countryside. Is this really Jiang Ji, the "little angel on earth"?

The situation became awkward, and the live chat was filled with comments criticizing Jiang Ji, forcing the event to end prematurely.

He Yuling watched as her fans left safely before following the staff backstage.

As soon as I entered the lounge, a familiar voice yelled: "He Yuling, what's wrong with you? What did I tell you? You're just a supporting character, what are you trying to do here!"

Seeing that he didn't speak, his manager He Jie continued, "You've ruined today's event. How did I end up managing such a useless person like you? If you hadn't lip-synced, would you have even been signed by the company?..."

In the past, He Yuling would have simply turned and left after hearing these words, but today, he didn't want to endure it anymore.

"You're mistaken, aren't you? Sister He, ask yourself honestly, did I really lip-sync back then?"

"Furthermore, why should I be his foil? Not only do they make my face look like this, but I also have to throw a tantrum on the spot to highlight his goodness and kindness? It's been the same routine for years. Can't they change it up? I'm tired of acting like this."

"You, how dare you talk to me like that! What kind of attitude is this? He Yuling, don't forget, your sister..." He Jie gritted her teeth, her words filled with threat when she mentioned He Yuling's sister.

The only way to control He Yuling is through his sister. Since He Yuqi has signed with Dacheng Entertainment, if he can't satisfy these people, they will cause trouble for his sister.

"What's wrong with me? Are you going to complain to President Xue about me?" A female voice came from behind.

He Yuling knew who it was without turning around. He turned around, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Sister? What brings you here?"

"If I hadn't come, you would have been bullied to death without even knowing it."

He Yuqi felt a little disappointed in her younger brother, but at the same time, she was also pleased that her brother had stood up for her.

This younger brother was raised well, but he just doesn't know how to take care of himself.

He Yuqi has worked hard all these years, and perhaps she can leave Dacheng Entertainment sooner.

"Hmph, don't you see what your brother has done...?"

"What did he do? Did he mispronounce a word?" He Yuqi was tall and had delicate features. As she approached, He Jie couldn't help but take two steps back.

But thinking about the contract with President Xue and everyone's attitude towards them over the years, He Jie raised her chin again.

"Don't forget, your contract hasn't expired yet. If it's considered a breach of contract..."

He Yuqi had heard this many times before. Back then, she didn't have the money to pay the penalty for breach of contract in order to pay off her debts and support her younger brother.

But now, she is no longer that young girl who has just entered society.

"Heh, go tell those things to Xue Qu and see if he dares to do anything about it," He Yuqi said with a mocking expression.
