Chapter 31 She toyed with Han Wei

Han Wei smiled as she looked at the masked woman in front of her.

Her eyes were filled with determination to win.

Simply because she sent a message to the other party before coming over.

[Yining, even if you hadn't contacted me, I would have told you: a year ago, Shi Nian was signed to Fu's Entertainment, and Shi Nian and Fu Jinyan have always maintained close ties.]

[You had a miscarriage for Fu Jinyan but didn't get an official announcement in return. You must be feeling resentful, right? Join my team, and I won't reveal your miscarriage secret. With our current popularity, I'm sure I can make Fu Jinyan see your brilliance and expose Shi Nian's true colors—a fickle woman who's powerless and can only rely on men.]

The secret I just shared wasn't a threat, Yining; it was my way of showing sincerity.

With a carrot and stick approach, Han Wei didn't believe this woman could resist!

Shi Nian looked at Han Wei in front of her.

Coercion and bribery.

This set of techniques is used very skillfully.

Shi Nian held the microphone and first bowed to everyone.

Then he looked at the three people sitting in front of him.

Duan Xiaoran, 32 years old, is a Chinese pop singer. His love songs are unique and widely sung.

Li Mengyu, 28 years old, is a rising star male singer with a light rock style and his own band.

Han Wei, 25 years old, is a well-known online florist, known for her "broken beauty" image, and is the marketing manager for the show "The Voice of China".

All three people present invited her to join their teams.

Shi Nian said earnestly, "Thank you for your kind words, judges."

“Then,” she paused slightly, “based on my own style and the styles I want to try on this stage, I chose…”

The three judges were seated in a semi-circle, with Han Wei in the middle and the other two on either side.

Shi Nian walked straight ahead.

Han Wei's face was full of satisfaction. She stood up, seemingly confident of victory.

Shi Nian turned and walked towards Li Mengyu beside her.

"Teacher Li, may I join your team?" Shi Nian asked politely, extending her right hand.

Li Mengyu glanced at Han Wei, whose expression had changed slightly, a playful smile on his face, and then he stood up.

“Of course.” He reached out and shook hands with Shi Nian.

In the live stream, the clasped hands were given a close-up, and in the background that followed, Han Wei's slightly stiff face was also captured.

Lu Yanzhi frowned slightly as he watched this scene.

The masked woman tricked Han Wei.

According to their route, their target should have been Han Wei, but they turned at the last point and headed towards Li Mengyu.

Why?

...

The selection process for "The Voice of Heaven" was full of exciting moments, with cheers, sighs, and shouts of excitement from the audience.

After Shi Nian was paired with Li Mengyu's team, he sat in the player's seat behind Li Mengyu's.

Not far away, Han Wei kept glancing at her from head to toe out of the corner of her eye.

Shi Nian ignored Han Wei.

The recording of the program took a long time.

There are commercial breaks in between, which are also a time for the artists to rest.

After an advertisement, Shi Nian went to the restroom.

She had just reached the aisle when Han Wei blocked her way.

"Didn't you see the text message I sent?" Han Wei pulled Shi Nian aside and asked bluntly.

Shi Nian glanced at Han Wei: "I saw it."

Han Wei frowned and grabbed Shi Nian's collar: "Then what do you mean? Are you trying to humiliate me?"

Shi Nian sneered and pulled away Han Wei's hand that was gripping her collar.

"I'm just selecting people normally," she said. "Whether it's the style of the songs or their professionalism, I think Li Mengyu is more suitable and can help me go further in this program."

Han Wei smiled.

"I thought it was something, but it turns out you don't understand at all."

"Do you know why you lost to Shi Nian?" Han Wei mocked. "You never get to the point."

"In this era, marketing is everything."

"Did you really come to this show just to compete in songwriting and singing?"

"Fu's Entertainment is investing in you to generate returns, for commercial value, for monetization, understand?"

Han Wei's voice was low and angry, and when she spoke quickly, it sounded like a snake hissing.

"Style? Professionalism? Ha..." Han Wei laughed, "Yining, don't you think you're being too arrogant?"

Shi Nian looked at Han Wei calmly.

“So what about you?” she said. “I don’t understand. You only have six months left to live. Why are you still so fixated on these external things? Wouldn’t it be better to relax and enjoy your last days?”

Han Wei's eyes flickered.

Of course, she couldn't tell the other person her secret of faking illness.

So Han Wei changed the subject: "You can still change your choice now and switch to my team, or we can reach other cooperation agreements."

Han Wei took a step forward.

The two were very close together.

Han Wei said, "I'm giving you time to think it over because we're on the same side and have a common enemy."

After saying that, Han Wei left, leaving Shi Nian standing there alone.

She watched Han Wei leave quietly.

So, why?

Han Wei wanted Lu Yanzhi, and now he's already by her side.

Why is Han Wei still bothering with all this?

In order to attack her, what was the thought?

But what's the point?

...

Time flew by, and the program was recorded from morning until night.

A live broadcast of "The Voice of Heaven" has finally come to an end.

Everyone, from the artists and staff to the audience, was exhausted.

It was already getting dark.

Shi Nian was helped towards the nanny van.

Her steps were unsteady, and she could barely stand.

Fu Jinyan, who was standing to the side, supported her and sighed deeply.

Shi Nian understood what Fu Jinyan meant.

But she insisted on participating.

She was anxious, eager to become stronger and regain control of everything.

But as she turned a corner, she suddenly noticed a person standing next to the nanny van.

It was Lu Yanzhi.

Shi Nian glanced at Fu Jinyan, who shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"Let's talk?" Lu Yanzhi's voice came through.

Fu Jinyan wanted to say something, but Shi Nian pressed his hand down, then stood up straight and gestured for Lu Yanzhi to go into the woods to the side.

"What does Mr. Lu want to talk to me about?" Shi Nian asked.

As soon as the woman spoke, Lu Yanzhi felt that her voice was somewhat familiar.

Lu Yanzhi looked down at the woman in front of him.

She wore a long trench coat over her performance outfit, but even so, it was still obvious that she was very thin.

Of all the women he knew, none of them matched his figure.

At least no one is that thin.

Seeing the questioning look in the woman's eyes behind the mask, Lu Yanzhi said, "Why did you play tricks on Han Wei during the live selection today?"

Shi Nian smiled.

"I was playing a trick on her?" Shi Nian said. "No."

Lu Yanzhi frowned slightly: "There's no need to talk like that. Your actions and words can't hide anything from me."

Shi Nian pursed her lips slightly and turned her face away.

It's still the same.

Just like many years ago.

When she was beaten by her stepfather again, he asked her what happened, and when she lied and said nothing was wrong, he said something similar—

"Shi Nian, do you want to see what you look like now? Stop pretending, you can't fool me."

But now, his stance has shifted from standing by her side to being on the opposite side.
