After the rankings were announced in the morning, Songyue had just seen Liang Ya and the others off when she was called away to shoot an advertisement.

In the local area, she saw Yun Ning, Ying Mengzhu, Shen Churan, and several others, all of whom were among the top seven most popular contestants.

Pei Leshan watched with a smile, thinking back to how he had to beg and plead to get sponsors for the show at the beginning, but now the tables had turned and he was choosing the advertisers.

In particular, a team leader from a certain sports brand was not only left out in the cold for a whole morning last time, but was also ridiculed.

This time, their investment manager brought people to apologize, but he still refused because another sports brand had already signed a contract, and the price was ten times higher than before.

Even though he refused the person, the person in charge was not angry, because he was not trying to attract investment in the first place, but only to apologize.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, Pei Leshan has certainly seen his fair share of this kind of thing.

After everyone else had finished filming, Yun Ning, Song Yue, Ying Mengzhu, and Shen Churan filmed two more commercials.

Because of their popularity, some advertisers are willing to pay a lot of money to have trainees film their shows.

Of course, the production team would take on such a situation.

Originally, the contestants filmed commercials for free, but for the sake of long-term development, the production team actually gave the spokespeople a portion of their earnings.

Ying Mengzhu, who had just finished filming, had not walked far when she ran into Cheng Ruoling, who had been waiting for her.

This time, Ying Mengzhu didn't hide anymore. The two went to a corner to talk, and Cheng Ruoling narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Actually, I don't agree with what your agent said about you leaving after the second performance, but luckily you stayed."

After all, this show is so popular right now, it should be used to its fullest potential. Leaving in the second round would obviously be a waste.

However, given how much Ying Mengzhu has changed, she still needs to be given a good talking-to.

Ying Mengzhu's eyes did not flinch at all.

"Of course, I'll stay until the finals and debut in the end."

She understood her manager's plan, fearing that if she stayed on stage, it would siphon votes from the CP (couple) fans.

He withdrew from the competition himself, and then cheered her on again in the finals to help her debut.

They had a well-thought-out plan; from the very beginning, they intended to sacrifice her to ensure Cheng Ruoling's success.

But why is it that she's the one who has to sacrifice herself from beginning to end? Not only is she made to play a supporting role, but now she has to sacrifice herself to make Cheng Ruoling's success possible.

They made her play a supporting role without asking her, they pulled her into a CP (couple pairing) without asking her, and now they're sacrificing her, acting all high and mighty.

All she wanted to know was, "Why?"

From the very beginning, she had no intention of cooperating with Cheng Ruoling. Later, she even avoided Cheng Ruoling to find scenes. She even planned to leave the entertainment industry after leaving, thinking that at worst she would just be blacklisted.

Even though Cheng Ruoling was smiling, there was a hint of danger in her eyes.

“Mengzhu, you’re not a child anymore. You should know what will happen if you rebel. You’re still a trainee at the company.”

Ying Mengzhu scoffed.

"so what."

The sarcasm in Cheng Ruoling's eyes was obvious.

"Mengzhu, you're still too young and haven't experienced the harsh realities of life. Do you really think I can't handle you?"

"You really can't do anything to me. The only thing you can rely on is that your dad is one of the company's top executives."

Ying Mengzhu's direct words caused Cheng Ruoling's expression to change slightly.

"Since you knew that, why did you still dare to do it?"

"As long as I have enough profit, even your father can't do anything to me. He might even persuade you to apologize to me, since businessmen are all about profit, aren't they?"

Ying Mengzhu twitched the corner of her mouth.

Now, Cheng Ruoling's anger was truly impossible to hide.

“Ying Mengzhu, you dare to talk to me like that? Even if you debut, you won’t escape the company’s control. I can even freeze you out with a single word.”

If you want to continue in this industry, then you'd better follow my instructions.

"What, you think you're no match for me, so you're using the company's power to threaten me?"

One sentence almost made Cheng Ruoling jump up and down.

"If the company really wants to sideline me, then I'll wait and see."

After saying that, Ying Mengzhu ignored Cheng Ruoling and left. But it was really satisfying to say what she had kept in her heart for so long, especially to see Cheng Ruoling's expression change.

Cheng Ruoling stared at Ying Mengzhu's back, her eyes turning sinister, all traces of her previous cheerfulness gone.

She then took out her phone, made a call, said something, hung up, a smile playing on her lips, and left.

Then a figure appeared in the toilet next door. Bian Yunlan couldn't help but look at the ceiling. Was she destined to encounter toilets? Why did she always run into this kind of thing when she went to the toilet?

All I want to say is, when you find a secluded spot, can you at least search it first to make sure there's really no one around? You're so careless, it makes things very difficult for me.

But this time she didn't bring her phone. Ever since the director looked at her with that kind of gaze, she felt she had to save face and not be too blatant.

Immediately afterwards, around noon, marketing accounts released news that Ying Mengzhu bullied her teammates, and a former trainee from the same company admitted that he left the entertainment industry and his beloved stage because he couldn't stand Ying Mengzhu's bullying.

Furthermore, her agent's panicked expression when asked about the matter, and his complete refusal to discuss it, made it seem as if he had done something wrong.

In an instant, Ying Mengzhu herself on Weibo, as well as the "National Talent Show" program team, were subjected to a lot of abuse.

"Why isn't this bullying dog being removed? How dare she ruin other people's dreams while she gets to stand on the stage herself?"

"I advise you not to bring trouble to yourself with the talent show. You've finally become popular, so don't take your reputation for granted. Get someone to withdraw from the competition as soon as possible."

"Boycott Ying Mengzhu. If Ying Mengzhu dares to appear on 'National Talent Show' again, then boycott the show."

……

The program's director, Pei Leshan, and producer, Jian Ling, quickly called Ying Mengzhu over for questioning. Upon hearing this news, Ying Mengzhu knew that Cheng Ruoling had taken action.

She then recounted what had happened.

Pei Leshan and Jian Ling exchanged a glance, unsure whether they believed her.

Just then, Bian Yunlan pushed open the door and entered, telling them that she had overheard their conversation in the restroom.

Ying Mengzhu stared at her in shock, not only because there were other people around when she spoke, but also because Bian Yunlan dared to stand up at this moment.

Jian Ling nodded slightly upon hearing the news, surprised that it was Ying Mengzhu's company that released it; it was like throwing away the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

For the sake of Cheng Ruoling, they actually wanted to ruin Ying Mengzhu, who was just about to rise to prominence. I wonder what their company's higher-ups would think if they found out.

The worst part is that "Supernova" even interfered in the chaos, and she just wanted to curse the stupid company in her heart.

Then a dark glint flashed in her eyes. If that's the case, then don't blame her for causing trouble.

Pei Leshan was shocked because he wondered how this matter was related to Bian Yunlan again. Had she recorded it again?

Bian Yunlan shrugged very readily this time.

"Director, the production team said we weren't allowed to bring cell phones. I'm a good, obedient kid, so I didn't bring any."

Pei Leshan choked, "You're lying through your teeth."

You might as well have brought your phone this time; the problem could have been easily solved.
