Chi Tong watched as the number of people in the live broadcast room increased, and the comments became harsher and harsher. He clenched his fists nervously, and his palms were sweating.
Luo Ying wasn’t planning to argue with these uneducated netizens, was she?
Chi Tong felt his brain buzzing. He never thought that he would have to deal with such a troublesome matter right from the start, after being rehired.
He looked nervously at the streams of texts. This platform had been specially designed for dancing idols. At that moment, Luo Ying’s stream had been pushed to trending section.
!!
Most of the text in the comment section was unsightly.
[She’s still not turning off her stream. She’s got quite a thick hide. People are slamming her ancestors out of their graves, and she hasn’t skipped a beat.]
[How shameless. She’s trolling. Stop giving her attention. You’re playing into her hands. I’m leaving.]
[That’s right, that’s right. I don’t know how she got her hands on the role, but I wonder if she realizes just how many lives she has ruined by displacing them from this opportunity.]
[The entertainment industry has no place for witches like her.]
Luo Ying sneered in her heart as she read the chat.
This was exactly what she wanted.
She put down the things in her hand and slowly sang.
Without any accompaniments, she sang an acapella rendition of the song she had used at the auditions.
It was a far more complex song than Su Ran’s.
It had the melody, the high notes at the climax, and even percussive rap. It was a well-rounded, youthful song.
The comments gradually slowed down, and some praises slowly popped up.
[Luo Ying’s acting skills are still a major turnoff, but she definitely found herself some singing chops. This song is no joke.]
[Yeah, and she’s singing it acapella. It’s as unplugged and as raw as it gets.]
[She’s really amazing. The music department students said that she could even qualify as a teacher in our school.]
Chi Tong looked at the public opinion that was gradually sawing back, and his heart broke out in cold sweat.
Luo Ying was taking a big risk. It would be bad if vulgarities from the chat ended up with her account being suspended.
However, he never expected Luo Ying to be this fortunate. It seemed that even God was rooting for her.
Just as Chi Tong was about to heave a sigh of relief, a fresh wave malicious netizens appeared on the bullet screen.
[Isn’t it just an acapella? Su Ran could also do that.]
[Yeah, she’s doing the bare minimum. You guys are acting as if it’s the eighth wonder. For all you know, money or some sex deal with Music Center’s producer played a role in this.]
Luo Ying looked at the comments on the screen and sneered. “Dear haters, just shush for a second and let your idol compete with me. As for the sex deal, I’d like to see some evidence. Otherwise, my team will track you down and sue you in court.”
Luo Ying smiled innocently. “If anyone is willing to provide evidence, I’m willing to reward you with a million Yuan.”
The chats abruptly stopped.
A million. Luo Ying was really rich.
The flow of the comments quickly changed.
[Rich lady, I’m hungry. Please, feed me!]
[Do you need anything else? Do you need a social media army? A million Yuan could get a lot done, don’t you know?]
One particular comment caught her eye.
[Miss Luo, may I post the song you just covered on my social media account?]
The person who posted this comment was none other than Min Yu, the producer of the song Luo Ying had just sung.
Min Yu had only been around for two years, but her productions have all caught steam.
All the singers that she had groomed had all achieved varying degrees of success.
Luo Ying looked at her name and recalled her character arc.
In the book, Min Yu had a relationship with her brother, Luo Feng.
However, she got the unwanted attention of some powerful elite. After being violated, she got addicted to drugs.
Luo Feng was a broken man. He veered off into the deep end, committing acts that only grew worse and worse.
She had to take this opportunity and save her brother from a terrible fate.
Luo Ying quickly went off the stream and returned to her room to flip through the calendar.
Chi Tong was unprepared for the stream’s abrupt end. It took him several long moments to react.
When he finally looked her name up on the internet, the negative sentiments about Luo Ying had mostly dissipated.
