Sister Zhang quickly explained her purpose.
"Su Can, it's like this, last time you sang 'Compendium of Materia Medica' on the show, and the audience really liked you. Your withdrawal from the competition caused quite a stir..."
Su Can listened patiently.
It turns out that Sister Zhang came because her withdrawal from the competition sparked discussions about behind-the-scenes manipulation.
Several days have passed; if the production team truly wanted to compensate him, they would have done so long ago.
The fact that it's dragged on until now can only mean one thing.
The production team is unable to quell the audience's suspicions of behind-the-scenes manipulation!
Sister Zhang shared her thoughts.
"Su Can, I've discussed it with Director Xu. We'd like to invite you to participate in the revival competition, and then state in the bonus video that your withdrawal was due to your personal reasons..."
Su Can: "What personal reasons?"
Sister Zhang seemed surprised that Su Can would ask such a question, and paused for a moment.
"You can say it's due to health reasons..."
Su Can laughed and said, "Due to health reasons, how could I release three songs after withdrawing from the competition and participate in 'Brilliant Show'?"
Sister Zhang: "..."
Su Can then asked, "Sister Zhang, don't you and the production team know why I withdrew from the competition?"
Sister Zhang said guiltily, "Su Can, I'm so sorry..."
Remembering that Sister Zhang had helped him many times, Su Can softened his voice, his sharp tone becoming gentler.
"Sister Zhang, I will not go back to the 'Tomorrow's Idol' competition, and I will not make any more videos to clarify! Even if you tie me to the recording site, I will still tell the truth! I was kicked out of Xiguang Youth by Ocean Entertainment, and they maliciously terminated my contract. You gave me the spot where others withdrew from the competition, but the production team did not allow me to advance..."
Sister Zhang became anxious, "Xiao Su, why are you doing this? It won't do you any good!"
Su Can: "I know that 'The Coming One' is a major production by Tencent, and given the buzz generated by the behind-the-scenes manipulation, if I go back to participate and win a consolation prize, it will be good for the production team and for my popularity..."
Sister Zhang thought Su Can had changed his mind and quickly tried to persuade him.
"Xiao Su, that's the right way to think! With your current popularity, I've already discussed it with the platform, and we can give you a third-place trophy. That's a significant award! If you win it, the platform will provide you with corresponding resources..."
Su Can smiled faintly and said tactfully, "Sister Zhang, I don't need it."
Sister Zhang blurted out, "Why? Xiao Su, you're a grassroots singer, don't go against the platform. You and I are both working people, don't you understand that?"
Out of consideration for their past relationship, Su Can patiently explained to Sister Zhang.
"Sister Zhang, I'm going back to boost the popularity of 'Tomorrow's Idol'! The current favorite to win the variety show is Xiguang Boys. Do you really think I would use my own popularity to pave the way for Chen Kai?"
When Sister Zhang heard Su Can's thoughts, and thought about what Chen Kai had done, she was speechless.
She wasn't unaware of the grievances Su Can had suffered.
However, she believed there was still room for negotiation, since she had come to invite Su Can with the pre-determined third-place award in mind.
Sister Zhang sighed, "Xiao Su, can't you give me some face?"
Su Can's tone remained calm.
"Sister Zhang, I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment."
"I am very grateful for your help in the past. In the future, as long as your variety show aligns with my values, I will definitely support you. Even if I don't want any payment, I will still go and support you!"
Su Can knew very well that Sister Zhang had helped him many times when he was a penniless nobody in the original body. Such a person was worth getting to know better!
Su Can was generous with his reward.
He continued.
"But for 'Tomorrow's Idol,' Chen Kai is either me or Chen Kai. There's no room for negotiation on that!"
Sister Zhang remained silent for a moment.
Su Can did not hang up the phone.
Finally, Sister Zhang sighed deeply.
“Su Can, I understand your thoughts. I understand that you don’t want to come. However, this will definitely offend the platform, so be careful in the future.”
Su Can smiled and said, "I will, Sister Zhang, don't worry."
After ending the call, Su Can stood up and walked around the room.
To be honest, he felt a little bad about refusing Sister Zhang's help, who had helped him many times.
The thought that Tencent might indeed ban him makes me a little depressed.
But Su Can is clear about his grudges and has a firm stance; he would never be a stepping stone for that disgusting Chen Kai!
Su Can came out of the bedroom.
We arrived in the corridor.
I passed by my friend's three rooms.
I passed by two separate restrooms.
I passed by a super luxurious living room that was sixty or seventy square meters.
We arrived at a spacious, bright, and upscale balcony.
Gazing at the distant seascape.
The apartment was so much better than the small rented room he lived in when he was studying.
With such a luxurious and spacious apartment, what's there to be upset about?
The healing happened on the way to the balcony!
Su Can opened the system's negative energy shop.
Click on an existing apartment.
[A 202㎡ four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, priced at 10.1 million yuan – a truly negative price.]
Su Can felt that he was quite comfortable living in his current apartment, so he spent ten million negative energy points to buy it.
The negative energy value provided by the system is not subject to taxation, cannot be used for investment, and cannot be used as currency.
You can only purchase goods.
Su Can decided to be willful this once and not consider reality; she could buy whatever she wanted!
[Ding... Congratulations, host, you have obtained a 70-year property right. Relevant documents have been generated; please check.]
Su Can spent another 1.5 million negative energy points to buy parking spaces in five underground parking lots.
