Entertainment News: I'm Not a Scumbag After Rebirth!

Chapter 64 Voting Decides Life and Death

"Tieba is down and under maintenance."

News reports were flooding in, and many people were frantically refreshing the forums, but it kept showing:

404, not found.

At first, people thought there was a problem with their network and were searching for a signal.

Until a news report came in:

Zhang Liangying's performance on Tieba (a Chinese online forum) was a huge hit, with the venue packed to capacity.

Then came countless similar news articles, all about Zhang Liangying.

This is one of the few times that Tieba has crashed since its inception.

Millions of netizens flooded into Zhang Liangying's fan forum, with many newcomers and old friends joining in the fun.

Because it was the most-watched program in the area, it was broadcast live. Before Zhang Liangying even finished singing, the online forum was already packed with people.

The sheer scale of the explosion even exceeded Li Jun's expectations; he had thought it would just be another explosion like before.

"god!"

"The song 'Invisible Wings' has firmly secured its place as this year's hottest song."

"The songs 'Yangwang,' 'Bauhinia,' and 'Invisible Wings' are all by the same person. How did Mr. Li Jun create three masterpieces in just two weeks? Let's take a closer look at Mr. Li Jun."

"Zhang Liangying, a rising star in the Chinese music scene."

Countless exaggerated posts flooded the internet, overwhelming Chinese netizens.

The song quickly gained popularity, spreading beyond the province and even across the country.

"No way, do the people of Sichuan eat that well?"

"This year's Super Girl champion is practically guaranteed. With three original songs, what are they going to use to compete?"

A large crowd of onlookers gathered around.

In fact, Zhang Liangying's song had just ended, but it felt like an eternity had passed on the internet.

The atmosphere reached its climax when Zhang Liangying bowed to express her gratitude.

Fans and non-fans alike were united in chanting Zhang Liangying's name.

"Zhang Liangying! Zhang Liangying!! Zhang Liangying!!!"

The undisputed number one spot means there's no need to even consider the upcoming public vote; their influence is more than enough to secure first place.

Li Yuchun slumped in her chair, having suffered a crushing defeat this time, completely crushed by Zhang Liangying.

What's worse, for some reason, a video of Li Jun being provoked by Li Yuchun before singing "Yangwang" has gone viral online. Moreover, this video has distorted her relationship with Zhang Liangying, claiming that she was the one who ordered the person who beat Zhang Liangying.

What made her most desperate was that the person who had caused trouble at Zhang Liangying's place stood up and posted a selfie. The key point was that the account he used contained comments that were all supporters of Li Yuchun.

This confirmed that he was behind the incident, and the post went viral online, quickly exceeding 100,000 reposts.

Li Yuchun knew he was finished, and his reputation plummeted.

Let alone first place, even second place is difficult.

She began to suspect who was behind her scheme, and the first person she thought of was Zhang Liangying, but her intuition told her that wasn't the case.

There was another person who benefited from this, namely He Jie.

This person, who had always been relatively unknown, initially liked to show her face in the Super Girl competition, but later became increasingly low-key. It turns out that someone was secretly plotting against her.

Li Yuchun gritted her teeth in anger, never expecting that she would come to this.

The competition came to an end, and Li Xiang slowly walked onto the stage.

"Did Zhang Liangying sing well?"

The audience below the stage hadn't quite recovered from "Invisible Wings" yet; some shouted "Bravo!" while others were still savoring it.

"Thank you to all the idols for bringing us such wonderful songs, but the decision is still... "

Li Xiang's familiar polite words led into the next segment:

Member voting.

The remaining five contestants of Super Girl hugged each other. After such a long battle, it was fate that the five of them were the only ones left.

It doesn't matter who we vote for next.

Everyone has a certain number of fans and has signed with a company, so their future looks bright no matter what.

However, some people still feel sorry for Zhang Liangying because she didn't have the backing of EE-Media. Only Zhang Liangying herself knows how bad EE-Media is.

"Please be patient for one hour. The entire vote counting process will be broadcast live."

Li Xiang spoke up, clearly indicating that this was done to salvage the show's reputation.

The people in the room were quite satisfied with this, and even the equipment was brought to the stage.

Time ticked by, and the voting began.

"Have you voted for Zhang Liangying?"

Huo Bing anxiously urged his roommate, having completely forgotten about Li Yuchun, whom he had once admired.

"Jia Peng, let me see who you voted for."

Hu Naihan, shirtless, grabbed Jia Peng and lifted him up.

"Yes, Zhang Liangying was voted for, very good."

He put Jia Peng down again.

How do we vote on this?

Zhang Guiying's anxious voice came through the phone; she muttered that she wanted to vote for Zhang Liangying.

Grandma Wang looked at the text message and said with heartache:

"That's expensive, one yuan per time."

She was clearly reluctant to part with the money; it was enough for several meals.

Zhang Guiying didn't hesitate much; she just kept editing and sending.

"One message is enough; the rest don't count."

Grandma Wang quickly stopped Zhang Guiying.

"I know, I'm afraid the message won't get sent."

Zhang Guiying muttered to herself as she ran out, searching for a place with a good signal, fearing that she wouldn't be able to send a message.

"hair!"

Fang Zhi tapped the sent message on her hand, quite satisfied.

She also made sure to remind everyone in the newly repaired forum to vote for Zhang Liangying.

"Has it been lit?"

Security guard Lao Li asked his granddaughter, showing great concern about the matter.

He was about to vote for his boss.

"Uncle, aunt, brothers and sisters, please vote for Zhang Liangying. She is my brother's girlfriend."

Feng Ke called on his colleagues to campaign for votes everywhere.

Tang Yan wiped the phone screen clean and silently tapped send.

This is Li Xiaosa's younger brother's good friend, so Xiao Yan'er should help him out.

Seeing the notification that the message had been successfully sent, Tang Yan smiled sweetly.

Without a doubt, Zhang Liangying's votes skyrocketed on the spot, and the votes next to hers were just a fraction of what they were. There was no stopping her.

While Li Yuchun still had 10,000 votes, Zhang Liangying had already reached a terrifying 70,000 to 80,000 votes.

When Feng Jiamei's votes stopped at 50,000, she became the first person in the room to stabilize her vote count.

She is still growing, but very slowly, so much so that the changes are barely noticeable.

With 57,000 votes, Feng Jiamei was the first to be eliminated.

But she was already mentally prepared. She bowed to the audience to thank them for their help along the way, and then jogged off the stage.

Following closely behind was Wen Yao with 70,000 votes, who came in fourth place, ending her career on the show.

She reacted the same way as Feng Jiamei, and wasn't too disappointed about the place.

I've done my best, so I'll just leave it to fate.

He Jie and Li Yuchun's votes stopped at the same time, both around 130,000, neck and neck.
