Forced to Date a Big Shot

Xue Xi paused and turned to look at Li Zixia.

Li Zixia showed her the phone. “This weekend is the last night before their debut and it will be live-streamed. Right now, all the remaining members can’t look at their phones and have to undergo strict training. The votes are all based on fans and they don’t know.”

Li Zixia pointed at the votes on her phone.

Qin Shuang was currently first and had more than 200 million votes.

Meanwhile, Xu Xinyao, who was in second place, was only short of Qin Shuang’s votes by 20 million.

Li Zixia said, “Actually, Qin Shuang was far ahead of Xu Xinyao, but Cen Bai’s fans switched to her after learning that Xu Xinyao is a fan.”

“Cen Bai posted on Weibo to support Qin Shuang, so Cen Bai’s fans are also very conflicted. Just like that, the two of them got tied for first place.”

There was not much difference between 180 million votes and 200 million votes.

On the last night before the debut, she could reach a draw in a minute.

Hence, there was nothing wrong with saying that the two of them were tied for first place.

Xue Xi frowned and asked in confusion, “Aren’t they all Cen Bai’s fans? Why can’t he post support on Weibo?”

Li Zixia sat beside her and explained the situation in her fanbase. “Although fans like Cen Bai, he’s too far away from us as a celebrity and can’t get in touch with us. Hence, most of the fans are controlled by other fans.

“There’s a Cen Bai fan on Weibo nicknamed Early. She became Cen Bai’s fan not long after he debuted back then and she has done many activities. Among the fans, she is considered the oldest and most hardcore. Moreover, she is different from the other fans. The rest of the fans make use of their idols to earn money down the line, like when they scalp tickets and sell them for a higher price. However, she has never been like this before. She has always been silently supporting Cen Bai. Every time Cen Bai’s activities are held, she will spend money to distribute tickets for the surrounding areas to everyone. There is also another year when she designed a cat ear for the fans. It is beautiful and exquisite. It is very high quality since it’s meant to be used to support her idol.

“Hence, this fan’s love for Cen Bai is definitely not fake. Cen Bai has many fans, and they are all her fans too. She has a huge authority among the fans!

“If it gets out now that Xu Xinyao is that fan, everyone will definitely support her more, and no one will pay attention to Cen Bai’s Weibo support.”

Li Zixia sighed silently. “Speaking of which, Qin Shuang is really pitiful. It’s totally self-torture for her to fall in love with a huge star. Everyone is very hostile to Cen Bai’s other half. The more Cen Bai continues to see her, the more everyone will think that their idol has been tied up. Especially the ‘Most Beautiful Girls’ production team. They were bought over at a high price. According to insiders, this buyer is related to you, Sister Xi. Hence, Qin Shuang is now the internally chosen center. This has also caused the fans to be rebellious.

“Cen Bai has already posted on Weibo. Instead of criticizing Cen Bai, everyone is criticizing Qin Shuang for having a strong backer. Their hearts ache that their idol was hijacked by the show. Anyway, the internet doesn’t think highly of Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang’s current status is very awkward.”

Xue Xi could not help but frown when she heard this. “Then what should we do?”

Li Zixia shook her head and waved her hand. “We can’t do anything! But Sister Xi, is the sugar daddy behind the production team really related to you?”

After all, Sister Xi had 900 million yuan. It would not be an exaggeration to assume that she had bought the production team!

Xue Xi shook her head. “No.”

Li Zixia: “…”

Xue Xi asked again, “Can one spend money at the last moment?”

Li Zixia: “…Sister, although this is also a money-making program and the votes also depend on the popularity, the number of people who will be watching during the night of debut will be closed.”

Xue Xi had no choice. “…Oh.”

She was a little worried, so she took out her phone and sent Cen Bai a message: “What to do about the chatterbox?”

…

What should he do?

Cen Bai was also having a headache over this problem.

He’d actually known about this fan since a long time ago. Moreover, when he first debuted back then, he had been encouraged by this fan a long time ago and had a deep impression of her.

Even though he never cared about what his fans thought, Cen Bai did not want to disappoint Early.

However, no matter how one looked at it, Xu Xinyao did not seem to be Early. Even so, the internet was already in such a mess. Why did it seem like she had disappeared long ago and did not appear anymore?

Could it really be Xu Xinyao?

Cen Bai could not combine the positive Early online with the real Xu Xinyao.

As soon as the news about Xu Xinyao was released, his fans started to vote for her online. As a result, Xu Xinyao had already surpassed Qin Shuang in terms of votes.

Helpless, he posted on Weibo to pull votes for Qin Shuang. This resulted in both parties being equal. Otherwise, Qin Shuang’s popularity would have been suppressed even more.

However, it was useless.

The comments below his Weibo exploded:

“Brother, if you’re being held hostage by the production team, please blink.”

“Of course! Do you even need to think about it? She’s the only fan Cen Bai has ever acknowledged. Moreover, she’s his earliest follower on Weibo. Cen Bai won’t give up on Early!”

“I don’t blame Brother. After all, Weibo is managed by the company. This Weibo campaign must have been posted by the company. Brother doesn’t know about it at all. The status of an artist is still too low.”

Looking at these questions, Cen Bai could not help but reply: “It’s me. I’m not a hostage. Don’t imagine things.”
