Chapter 158 Sister Xi is here, are you rigging the votes?
[Is this Nan Shu? She was live-streaming on the Huayin platform before.]
[Hey, it really is Nan Shu. So his real name is Jiang Jinfeng. The rumors about him being kept by a sugar daddy online must be false, since who would be involved in a talent show if they were being kept by a sugar daddy?]
[Now I know, but he's really good-looking. I found him even better looking in person than in the live stream. It seems that having good looks with filters doesn't always make someone with great features look as good.]
【Then let's hurry up and send Nan Shu to debut.】
Lin Xi watched the online voting the whole time. Jiang Jinfeng's votes were far ahead, exceeding the second place by almost double. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she looked at him shining brightly on the screen, feeling a sense of pride.
As expected of the person she chose, she's really capable.
As the competition neared its end, Lin Xi noticed that the votes for a male singer named Shen Hao, who was ranked tenth, were skyrocketing, quickly surpassing the contestants ahead of him. Lin Xi's eyes narrowed slightly.
She had seen this contestant before; his performance was just average.
"System, please check what's going on."
"Okay, host, the system is scanning... Scan complete. There were instances of vote manipulation. The actual number of votes is [number missing]."
Lin Xi checked his vote count and saw that it had been boosted by votes, while Jiang Jinfeng's vote count had dropped from first to second place.
[What the heck? I don't recognize Shen Hao at all, how did he suddenly jump to first place?]
I vaguely remember her; her singing was alright, but not quite good enough to be number one.
[You're all just jealous. My Hao Hao sang really well. The audience's eyes are discerning; the sheer number of votes proves it.]
[Does anyone know how this ticket came about? My Jinfeng is clearly the best.]
[Don't talk nonsense. Be responsible for your words. You question my Hao Hao's height, but why don't you question your own?]
[My Jinfeng sings so well, his votes have always been high. This sudden surge in yours, anyone would be suspicious.]
"Mr. Wu, is it really okay for us to do this? What if someone finds out?" A junior assistant looked anxiously at the person on the sofa.
"What's there to be afraid of? I invested in this show. Who dares to investigate? Even if they do, the authorities won't acknowledge it. At worst, they'll just push it to the system. But if the manipulation succeeds, then..."
The man on the sofa said with a disdainful look, a shadow flashing in his eyes.
Suhe Media? Hmph, you think you can make a comeback? As long as I'm here, I'll never let you rise again.
At this moment, Su Yicheng looked at the voting data in front of him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. This method was as familiar as ever.
"President Su, we've confirmed it; it was indeed vote rigging, but..."
"But what?" Su Yi's voice turned serious.
"But the authorities don't admit it, so there's probably some official involvement involved," the person next to him replied nervously.
"You go down first."
Just then, the bell rang.
"Mr. Xi, oh yes, it must be that they invested in this program, so the authorities are turning a blind eye..."
"Official? Give me the phone number."
Lin Xi received the message and immediately made the call.
"Hello, you're the person in charge of Happy Debut, right?"
"You are......"
"In the office," a middle-aged man with a receding hairline asked uncertainly.
"You don't need to know who I am. I've already found out that someone rigged the votes. You're not going to care, are you?" Lin Xi said bluntly.
Is it Suhe Media again?
"You were sent by Suhe Media?"
"That's it."
"It's really not our fault. You just offended the wrong people. There's nothing we can do about it."
"Someone you shouldn't have offended? How much did he invest?"
"Two billion."
"I'm investing 10 billion yuan, and I have no other requirements except that fairness be guaranteed."
What a lunatic! What a waste of time! 10 billion? Does she think it's 10 yuan?
The bald middle-aged man immediately hung up the phone.
Lin Xi had just finished speaking when she realized the call had been disconnected.
We have no choice but to call back.
"Don't bother me anymore..." the bald middle-aged man said quickly as he answered the phone.
Give me your bank card account number.
"what?"
"Bank card account number, don't make me say it a third time." Lin Xi's tone was slightly angry.
Upon hearing this tone, the bald middle-aged man almost hung up the phone again, but he managed to hold back.
He wanted to see how long she could keep up the act.
Less than a minute.
"Your bank card has been credited."
Good heavens, there really is one.
"Hello, I'm sorry, I was too loud just now. I'll arrange it right away. May I ask how I should address you?" The bald man's expression changed instantly. He bowed slightly, held the phone in both hands, and smiled broadly.
"They all call me Sister Xi."
"Sister Xi? You're the incredibly wealthy Sister Xi?"
Hearing the sudden increase in volume on the phone, Lin Xi reflexively threw the phone away.
"Are you Sister Xi? Is President Xi still here?"
Lin Xi looked at the phone that was screaming on the sofa not far away, took a deep breath, and picked up the phone.
"Mr. Xi, is Mr. Xi still there?"
"Shut up, I want what I want before the results are announced."
The phone was abruptly hung up.
The bald man was stunned for a moment.
Is he really that noisy?
But none of that matters. What matters is that he actually got in touch with the legendary Sister Xi, the number one person in the entire internet who automatically controls comments and is also the biggest spender on money!
He immediately made a phone call.
"Brother Hao, your votes have surged to number one."
"Really? Let me see."
Shen Hao took his phone and glanced at the voting rankings.
Shen Hao ranked first in votes.
Jiang Jin ranked second in the polls;
Yu Wanqi ranked third in votes;
.......
Shen Hao's smile grew wider and wider, tinged with smugness.
I didn't expect that person to be telling the truth.
He glanced at Jiang Jinfeng, who was sitting quietly to the side, and a wicked smile flashed across his lips at his aloof appearance.
"Sorry buddy, I didn't expect to get more votes than you. But don't be discouraged, at least we got second place, so advancing is definitely not a problem," Shen Hao said insincerely.
Jiang Jinfeng didn't speak, he just quietly looked at his phone.
Will she be disappointed that he didn't get first place?
It's okay. He will definitely work harder next time and strive to debut as a solo artist in first place.
Seeing that he didn't react, Shen Hao's face flashed with displeasure.
The person who had previously called him Brother Hao noticed his expression and stepped forward to mock him, saying, "Hey, our Brother Hao isn't like some people who think they can surpass me just because they have a pretty face? In the end, they still lost to my Brother Hao's strength."
Shen Hao raised his chin slightly, looking at Jiang Jinfeng with a smug expression.
"Thank you for the compliment," Jiang Jinfeng replied coolly, snapping out of his thoughts.
