Chapter 53: Always Just a Little Short



In a luxury apartment in Kyoto.

"Brother Chen, are you sure Lin Yao performed poorly this time?"

A charming woman sat on the sofa and asked the man next to her.

"The news I got is that the second season of Super Challenge will focus more on puzzle solving and competition between guests.

Lin Yao can't solve puzzles, and her personality isn't suited to confrontation, so I don't think she'll perform very well."

The man was wearing glasses and a formal suit, and he looked like someone who paid great attention to details.

"Then it's uncertain? What if Lin Yao performs very well? Wouldn't it be a waste of our money to hire water army?"

The charming woman was wearing pajamas and didn't care about the collar that hung down to her chest. She just frowned when she mentioned Lin Yao's name.

"Huang Yin, you need to focus more on your new album. If Lin Yao fails on the variety show, that would be best, but if her popularity soars, then you need to defeat her as a singer in order to truly elevate your status."

The man with glasses ignored the woman's dissatisfaction and instead warned her.

"What's the point of me concentrating on songwriting? As long as Lin Yao is around, I can't beat her in anything! I have to make her quit the entertainment industry!"

The woman suddenly became a little excited and her voice became shrill.

This woman's name is Huang Yin, and she is a rookie singer who debuted at the same time as Lin Yao.

The difference is that Lin Yao's first album sold well, with three songs entering the top ten of the new song chart and the top twenty of the hot song best-selling chart.

Huang Yin only had one song that entered the top ten of the new song chart, and it only ranked in the twenties on the hot song chart.

Originally, such results were considered very good for a rookie singer, and there was even hope of competing for the Best New Singer at the end of the year.

It’s a pity that she met Lin Yao.

Huang Yin is beautiful, has a beautiful voice, can write songs and play musical instruments. She is outstanding among newcomers in terms of both appearance and professional level.

But compared to Lin Yao, Huang Yin is a little bit worse in every aspect. These little bits added together are enough to make her fall behind by one level.

Huang Yin's first album sales almost broke the record for new singers, but Lin Yao easily broke it.

Huang Yin can play the piano and guitar, and Lin Yao can play all kinds of musical instruments.

Huang Yin is known as the sweetheart of the music world, and Lin Yao is directly named the national goddess...

When every strength you are proud of is surpassed by the same person, you are likely to be overwhelmed by frustration and jealousy.

Huang Yin is an example.

Especially after failing again to compete with Lin Yao for the regular guest position in the third season of "Super Challenge", Huang Yin's mentality completely collapsed.

She had a big fight with her agent and forced him to hire some internet trolls to discredit Lin Yao online.

Huang Yin's agent is Chen Zhi, a cautious person. He was very secretive when buying the internet trolls and did not leave any traces.

Although Lin Yao's agency knew that it was Huang Yin who was behind the incident, they could not find any evidence and could only passively control comments and delete posts.

So even though Lin Yao performed well at the end of the first episode of Super Challenge and restored some of her reputation, after Chen Zhi hired another round of internet trolls, Lin Yao once again fell into a situation where she was almost "blacklisted by the entire internet."

"Let's start, let's take a look first."

Seeing that Huang Yin was a little upset again, Chen Zhi stopped trying to persuade her.

At this moment, the opening credits of "Super Challenge" appeared on the computer screen. Huang Yin stared at the beautiful and gentle Lin Yao on the screen, her expression changing from gloomy to bright. Finally, she sneered:

"What are you so proud of? Just wait for more scolding!"

......

"Fangfang, turn off the barrage."

In Jiangrong City, in the suite of the Hilton Hotel.

Lin Yao, Mo Yan and Fang Fang were sitting on the sofa. As soon as the opening credits of the second episode of "Super Challenge" came out on the TV screen, a barrage of comments mocking and insulting Lin Yao appeared.

This time, Fangfang used online playback software to cast the screen to the TV to watch the program, so she could see the barrage.

Mo Yan frowned slightly, worried that Lin Yao's mood would be affected, so he gently told Fangfang to turn off the barrage.

"No need." But Lin Yao spoke up to stop Fangfang.

"Lin Yao, these things are nothing interesting and they affect our viewing of the show." Mo Yan said to Lin Yao with a smile.

"Sister Yan, I've thought about it. My goal is to become a pop queen. If I want to reach that position, besides singing, I also have to learn to face all difficulties."

Lin Yao's expression was calm, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with shining stars and the splendor of the Milky Way.

"I wasn't brave enough before, but now that I have something I want to do, I have to make myself brave."

"Yaoyao...you have grown up." Mo Yan stared at Lin Yao in a daze, with a look of relief and indescribable complexity on his face.

She could vaguely feel that Lin Yao’s real goal was not to become a pop queen, but the “freedom” that could only be obtained after reaching that step.

"Wow, Sister Yao is so handsome!"

Fangfang couldn't help but clap her hands.

"No men in black today? Yeah, snap, snap!"

There was also applause on TV. The second episode had already begun, and the first ones to appear were Hong Sanshi, Zhang Bo and Lin Yao. When Hong Sanshi learned that this episode would be completely revised and there would no longer be a segment where the men in black were chasing, he immediately applauded.

"Hahaha, Teacher Hong's nightmare is finally over."

"Zhang Bo's expression shows his disdain for the weakling Teacher Hong, haha!"

"Wow, Lin Yao is so beautiful!"

"Can you please block Lin Yao? She's disgusting!"

Just like the first episode, the comments in the barrage were all good-natured jokes towards Hong Sanshi and Zhang Bo, but were polarized towards Lin Yao.

Lin Yao’s fans praised her, while the haters and internet trolls wanted to kick her off the screen.

Mo Yan looked at Lin Yao worriedly, but saw that she was still very calm, and even had an expectant expression on her face.

Yaoyao has really changed a lot recently. Is this change good or bad?

What caused her to change so much?

A tall and handsome figure flashed through Mo Yan's mind.

Is it really because of him?

"Secret war?"

"Dividing the guests into two teams to search for trophy fragments, with undercover agents on both sides, is that really that hard to believe?"

"My big brother Lei is in danger!"

"Aren't those two old foxes, Hong Sanshi and Zhang Bo, sure to win?"

"Not necessarily. They still have the burden of Lin Yao on their side. I have a feeling that Lin Yao will definitely be the one to cause trouble in the end!"

After the program team announced the rules of this episode, the audience was shocked by the novel setting, and the barrage of comments was dense for a while.

Then the Guardians and the Saboteurs each get clues about the trophy fragments, and then get in the car to go to the scene where the three fragments are located.

Since the destroyers include Hong Sanshi and Zhang Bo, who are most popular with the audience, as well as the very topical Lin Yao, Li Wan deliberately gave them more shots during the post-production editing.

After the three of them got in the car, Hong Sanshi suddenly discovered that the driver was the handsome man in black who caught Lin Yao in the last episode. He exclaimed, and the camera gave a close-up of Fang Xiaole's face.

This caused another wave of barrage climax.
