Chapter 140 The Finals are the Day the Masks Are Removed

Four episodes of "The Voice of Heaven" have aired since its first episode.

Initially, this music variety show gained attention because of Han Wei.

Because, among the many music variety shows, this one doesn't have any singers of particularly high caliber participating. The contestants are at most 25 years old and belong to the new generation of singers.

However, Yining suddenly emerged and attracted a great deal of attention.

Especially starting from the third episode, after Yining was freed from the limitations imposed by the audio and video quality, countless people recognized her abilities.

However, after the fourth phase ended, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Despite the allegations of fraudulent donations and power-for-sex deals involving Yining, he still hasn't withdrawn from the competition on the eve of the finals of "The Voice of China."

There was a chorus of condemnation online.

"What are you doing? Yining is in such a state, why hasn't it been removed from the list yet?"

"I'll wait until tomorrow morning. If Yining hasn't withdrawn by tomorrow morning, I'll give him a bad review!"

"Yes, if someone like Yining can thrive like this, is there no law anymore!"

Boycott Yining!

...

The official account of "The Voice of Heaven" has been hacked.

The comments under the latest post are full of boycotts and insults, with all sorts of voices emerging one after another.

The same applies to the Fu's Entertainment account.

Since no one could find out who was actually behind the pseudonym "Yining," they all went to Fu's Entertainment to hurl insults.

And Xu Beibei.

On the day of rehearsal, Xu Beibei posted her rehearsal vlog, in which there was a figure wearing a mask, which was obviously the contestant Yining.

Countless people commented below, asking if that person was Yining and whether Yining had withdrawn from the competition.

At first, Xu Beibei did not reply.

Finally, she "had no choice" but to reply—

Xu Beibei: Don't ask me anymore, or this post will be taken down. The show isn't run by me, so I can't decide what to do. What you see is what you get.

The tone of this reply is truly intriguing.

Countless people have their own interpretations.

【If you ask about this post again, it will be gone】 = 【If it gets any more popular, it will be shut up】.

【The show isn't owned by my family, so I can't make the decisions】 = 【Someone is backed by Fu's Entertainment, a major investor, and acts like royalty, doing whatever they want】.

【What you see is what you get】=【We saw the masked woman, Yining went to rehearsal, but she still shamelessly participated in the competition】.

It can be said that some netizens have always had excellent comprehension skills.

When Xu Beibei saw these netizens' comments, she laughed so hard she rolled around on her bed.

"It's all thanks to you guys!" she said, wiping away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes.

She flipped through a tablet with the latest documents sent by her agency.

That file contains resources from the end of this "Heavenly Voice" competition.

According to the rankings, the resources promised by each company are clearly listed.

Among them, the resources offered by the Huo Group are particularly attractive.

"The championship is definitely mine." Xu Beibei tapped the resource list lightly with her fingertips, her eyes gleaming with determination. "As long as I get on the Huo family's ship, I won't have to worry about resources in the future!"

"Yining, what's the use of your strength? Even if you force yourself to participate, so what? You've already been boycotted by the entire internet. Participating will only result in you being universally criticized!"

...

On the other side.

Shi Nian had just come out of the practice building owned by Fu's Entertainment.

I had just stepped out and was about to enter the parking lot when I heard two beeps.

There was also a "meow".

Shi Nian looked over and saw a man standing not far away.

He was wearing a black shirt, leaning against his car, holding a bag in one hand and a plush toy in his arms.

It's Huo Yanmo.

"Shi Nian." He noticed her gaze and called out with a light smile.

Ever since the rumors about her and Fu Jinyan broke, she's been wearing a mask and a baseball cap whenever she enters or leaves this practice room, which is why he still recognizes her.

He had previously offered to recommend a lawyer to her, but she refused because she had already hired Lawyer Xu.

Although he said he didn't need any conditions or rewards, she couldn't pretend she knew nothing.

Thinking about it, Shi Nian walked over to Huo Yanmo.

"Is there something you need?" Shi Nian stopped in front of Huo Yanmo and asked.

“Last time I sent you a video of my cat doing a backflip, and I noticed you didn’t reply, so I wanted it to perform for you live.” Huo Yanmo said, shaking the plush toy in his arms.

"Meow~" the plush toy meowed, its two round eyes staring at Shi Nian.

"Huh?" Shi Nian didn't react for a moment.

Is this even possible?

Huo Yanmo said willfully, "Shi Nian, you should know that we have a fat cat at home that can perform tricks and always wants to show off."

Shi Nian stared blankly at the smiling Huo Yanmo, her mind still reeling.

Huo Yanmo had already put the plush toy down, squatted on one knee, fed it some snacks, and patted its head.

"Meow!"

Then, the kitten actually did a backflip.

Shi Nian's lips parted slightly.

It actually works! And it flips over just like that?

So intuitive?

At this moment, the kitten came to Shi Nian's feet, nudged her legs with its head, and held its big tail high.

It meowed.

"It likes you," Huo Yanmo said with a smile, handing the freeze-dried fruit to Shi Nian. "Feed it?"

Shi Nian glanced at the cat, then at the freeze-dried food.

In the end, I couldn't resist the temptation, so I took the freeze-dried food, squatted down, and handed it to the kitten.

The kitten slurped its food loudly.

Shi Nian couldn't help but smile.

They are actually quite cute.

"I brought you a midnight snack." Just as he was looking at the cat, Huo Yanmo took out a thermos from his pocket.

Shi Nian looked up at Huo Yanmo to the side. All his movements were fluid and natural.

Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly, fed the last bit of freeze-dried food to the kitten, and then stood up.

"Thank you, but no need," Shi Nian said politely but distantly.

Thinking about it, she nodded again, then turned and walked towards her car.

"My proposal will always be reserved for you." Huo Yanmo's voice came from behind.

"I hope you'll consider using me."

He said, "This would make me feel honored."

Shi Nian paused slightly on the door handle, but she didn't turn around. She opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and drove away.

Only Huo Yanmo remained in the same spot.

"Meow~" The kitten nudged him.

Huo Yanmo sighed softly, squatted down, and hugged the cat back into his arms.

“There will still be some frustrations, right?” he said to the kitten.

Meow~

"But it's alright, it was expected." He patted the kitten's head and watched Shi Nian's car drive away.

...

Shi Nian returned to her rented room, washed up, and went to sleep.

She didn't let herself think too much; the most important thing was tomorrow's final.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, tomorrow's final will be the day they take off their masks.
