Chapter 563: All Fired Up
Xiao Ke'er has long occupied the top position on this singer list, usually fluctuating between sixth and tenth place, surpassing many traditional singers, because this list usually judges the popularity of singers based on their online popularity.
The first time Liu Lan appeared on the list, she jumped directly to third place, leaving Xiao Ke'er behind, while the two singers ahead of her were both superstar-level celebrities.
Seeing such a ranking, Xiao Ker's die-hard fans felt more or less unhappy. Not only did they think that Liu Man's songs were Xiao Ker's, they also thought that it was Xiao Ker's credit that Liu Man could be on the stage of "The King of Singers".
So much so that some people accused Liu Lan of being unfriendly and unkind. She knew clearly that Xiao Ke'er had encountered a shady deal in the last performance and had the opportunity to seek justice for her on stage, but she only enjoyed the glory brought by first place and said nothing about the darkness behind it.
There are more and more messages like this and the "regret theory" mentioned above. These fans self-righteously stand on Xiao Ke'er's side to speak up for her, but they are suspected of sowing discord. Otherwise, why do people who are famous have more gossip? Liu Man is too famous now. No matter what she does, there will always be people who find fault with her.
That night, Xiao Ke'er opened a live broadcast room specifically for this matter, and said righteously, "My fans, if you are really my fans and really like me, then don't say anything bad about Liu Man. Don't you see that? She is not only my friend, but also my supporter. I rely on her for my livelihood. I am willing to give her my songs and ask her to present them in another way. She became popular, but am I not popular?"
"Regarding the shady dealings of the show, rather than letting everyone guess, I will simply explain here. In the fourth performance, I was cheated in three ways. First, my styling was ugly. The makeup artist said she was a novice and her technique was not good. I had no choice but to accept it. Second, my leg socks were cut, but there were no witnesses. I couldn't call the police to watch the surveillance camera just for a pair of socks. Third, my accompaniment was inexplicably two keys higher. The only thing worth mentioning was this accompaniment, but I don't know what the problem was."
Previously, there were rumors about the shady dealings on the Internet, but those were just speculations from Xiao Ke'er's fans. Xiao Ke'er never responded directly.
"To be honest, I can probably guess who did it, but I don't have any substantial evidence. Who dares to say anything without evidence? If I say something wrong, I'll offend people. Even I don't dare to say it, so how can you ask Liu Lan to say it? She went to be a singer to participate in the competition, not to be a detective to solve cases for me. Besides, she didn't want to participate in "King of Singers". I asked her to do it. She helped me out of kindness and has no obligation to take the blame for me."

Xiao Ke'er's words were very clever. She expressed her experience in a straightforward and detailed manner, but she made innuendos towards the instigator. She did not accuse anyone by name, nor did she go head-to-head with the TV station without knowing her place. She just listed the facts and made some specious guesses to show her innocent attitude, which was enough to let all the viewers watching the live broadcast understand that the shady deal really exists.
After the live broadcast, Xiao Keer also posted a Weibo post with a photo of the makeup artist (taken by Miao Xiaomei, with the eyes blurred). "My look is the masterpiece of this makeup artist. I posted it here for everyone to see. If anyone is going to participate in a TV show, try to avoid this person or bring your own makeup artist."
If Liu Lan hadn't won first place, Xiao Ke'er wouldn't have had the confidence to make everything public. She wanted to make the mastermind behind the scenes live in insecurity for the next month.
Liu Man and Xiao Ke'er are not the only ones who have profited from "The King of Singers". Li Xiaoru has completely become a star student in the school. After shooting videos with the "young sisters", she has become somewhat famous, but everyone still regards her as an internet celebrity.
She went on TV and played the piano in front of hundreds of millions of people. Her influence was much greater than that of internet celebrities. There was no one in the music school who had not seen her performance.
During class on Monday, the head of the department called her over and told her in a tone of special concern that if she had any difficulties in study or life, she could tell the school at any time. He also told her specifically that she could receive a national scholarship this semester.
Li Xiaoru, like other students, had a beautiful vision for the national scholarship. The scholarship is an honor, but also real money. In the first two years of college, she had two opportunities to get the national scholarship, but she missed the prize every time. It was not because her grades were not good enough, but because she was unlucky, or in other words, her interpersonal skills were not as good as others.
In the past, Li Xiaoru looked forward to the scholarship, studied hard, and practiced piano, but her efforts were not rewarded. Now that she is famous, people who have the final say in scholarships finally regard her as a "talent" and offer her scholarships, but she no longer cares about a few thousand yuan, and she no longer has the strong sense of mission she had in the past.
