Chapter 1083: Lesson One: Malice From Netizens

Translator: Yunyi

“Zhongli Xue is amazing, isn’t she? She rejected her debut spot just like that!”

“It’s understandable. I noticed she was really quiet on the stage. I didn’t expect that she grew up with her brother. Is she an orphan? My heart aches for her.”

“My heart aches + 1. The other fans should stop scolding our girl. Do you think that she’s harmless? She came first because we all voted for her. If Xue Xue doesn’t want to join the group and she doesn’t want the debut spot, then we don’t want it either! She deserves to be number one. Isn’t this something that everyone tacitly agreed on?”

“Am I the only one who thinks that her actions are ridiculous? No way, right?”

“I finally see someone who speaks the truth! I’ve never liked her, and I hate people like her the most. I admit that she is capable, but it’s really tiring to have someone like her in our lives. She’s high and mighty, and unapproachable. She acts as if she’s the only person in the world, and that we’re all low-class people! Besides, if she’s mentally unstable, why did she participate in the talent show in the first place? If she wanted to leave, she should have left earlier. Other than her, how many people wanted to debut? I feel sorry for the other girls.”

“Those who are blaming Zhongli Xue are probably Huo Tian’s fans. However, have you considered how offensive her words were? Ha, she may have felt great about what she said, and she may have sounded genuine. But just because she didn’t want the opportunity, what about the eleventh and twelfth positions? Don’t they want it?!”

“But I think what she said is very right. The reason why the top nine debuted was because they are capable and they have a lot of fans. The lower ranks were just picking up the slack, right? If they really debut because of this incident, I’m afraid that they will be mocked for the rest of their lives! Not wanting the opportunity is the most obvious choice!”

“The Pink Girls are so pitiful. Can I just say that they will fail the moment they debut? Dazzling You is a big production with enough exposure and a lot of beautiful sisters performing together. That’s why they attracted a huge audience. But now that Zhongli Xue, who had the most potential and the most attention, doesn’t want to appear on stage, what can the rest of them do? They will only be popular for a while. When the next talent show comes out, how many people will remember them?”

“Huo Tian is such an idiot! Huhuhu, my sister happened to be in 11th place! Couldn’t she keep her mouth shut? She has such a cheap mouth!”

“Zhongli Xue is the dumbest. Judging from her looks, she must be depressed, right? Just die!”

“What kind of person curses someone to die? Must she form a group just because she came first place? Couldn’t she have done it just to prove herself? You make it sound like your girls would definitely debut without Zhongli Xue around. Have you woken up from your dream? Do you want me to take a piss to wake you up?”

…

The next day, Huo Tian did not come out for lunch until noon.

Huo Yunque had already gone to the office, and only Song Yaoyao and Huo Tian were left to have lunch together.

Song Yaoyao took a sip of the soup, looked up at Huo Tian, and smiled curiously. “Have you been crying? Let me guess, you were scolded terribly online?”

Pa!

Huo Tian slammed her chopsticks on the table, and her nostrils fluttered as if Song Yaoyao could make her cry in the next second.

Her eyes were red as she cursed through gritted teeth, “I’ll take what I want and reject what I don’t! What right do those idiots have to scold me? Why should I take things that others don’t want? I’m not a garbage collector! If they want to pick up trash, then they could go pick it up themselves. Did I stop them?

“They want face and fame, how can there be such a good thing? Besides, so what if they make a debut? Will they be famous forever? I’ve already been scolded to this extent. If someone accepted it, who knows how they may have been mocked!”

Uncle Zhang frowned and wanted to warn her.

Song Yaoyao suddenly turned her head and acted coquettishly. “Uncle Zhang, you go and rest first. You don’t need to watch over here anymore!”

Uncle Zhang looked at Huo Tian. After a slight pause, he nodded. “Alright, if there’s anything, you can ring the bell anytime.”

The dining room quickly quietened down. Huo Tian suddenly turned around and wiped away her tears.

It wasn’t that she had never been scolded before. In fact, she had experienced much fiercer than this. It was just that she had turned in her phone and was focused on training, so she didn’t have the chance to see the comments. Now, she felt like she had been stripped naked and was experiencing the true impact of the online violence.

For a pampered young lady who had just turned 18, it was indeed a huge setback.

“But what you said really offended people.” Song Yaoyao ate calmly, “Just because you don’t want it doesn’t mean that others don’t want it. You considered that you would be ridiculed if you decided to debut, but others may not have thought of that. And even if they did, so what? Compared to doing nothing, of course, the temptation of making a debut is greater. There’s a popular term on the internet right now. Do you know what it’s called?”

Huo Tian stared at her with her watery eyes and pursed her lips, not saying a word.

“Notoriety.”

Which top celebrity had never been scolded? Even Luo Xingguang, who was known as the top male idol in Asia, was still not immune to this negativity. In fact, he had experienced worse than a minor celebrity.

Even the gifts from fans were mixed with bloody letters and animal carcasses. There were also some people who carried dangerous items and tried to kill Luo Xingguang at his fan meets.

If one wanted to wear a crown, one had to bear the weight.

“Then why are there so few people who are cursing at Zhongli Xue for not wanting to debut?” Huo Tian was not convinced. She hated Zhongli Xue even more.

“It’s because of her capability and character.”

Huo Tian fell silent. She was not an idiot. Although she had grown up abroad, her education was still Chinese-style.

Zhongli Xue’s character was set up. She had a clean temperament and did not make others feel particularly weak. When she danced, her eyes had a tenacity. This tenacity was especially apparent when she announced her withdrawal from the competition.

“Of course, these aren’t the main points.”

Song Yaoyao curled her lips. “Do you want to know what the main points are?” She looked Huo Tian in the eye.

Huo Tian rolled her eyes and rubbed them. She then said in a muffled voice, “You can say it if you want to.”

“Huh? What did you say?” Song Yaoyao narrowed her eyes and said in a more serious tone.

Huo Tian’s back stiffened and she pouted, feeling wronged. “Other than threatening me, what else can you do? You’re only lawless because my uncle dotes on you!”

“That’s right, I’m only lawless because my Gege dotes on me. But he doesn’t dote on you, so you can’t be lawless. This is your fate,” Song Yaoyao said matter-of-factly with confidence.

She knocked on the table, “If you want to survive in the entertainment industry, the first thing you have to train is your temperament. If you care too much about the negative comments on the internet, you will be killed by the negative comments sooner or later. Since you want to enter the entertainment industry, don’t you know that there is no freedom of speech within it? Do you know about trolls and manipulation of comments? This is the first lesson that the entertainment industry teaches you. It comes from the malicious intentions of the netizens.”
