Chapter 228 Shen Qingyue is sidelined
Just as Shen Chaohuai had predicted, Shen Qingyue wouldn't be so stupid as to not understand such a simple principle.
The challenge began, and because Shen Qingyue had familiarized herself with the venue beforehand, she quickly rushed to the front.
She knows she can't make a comeback, so she tries to stay relevant and gain attention by appearing on variety shows, hoping that at least some of her old fans will blindly follow her.
There is a big fan in Shen Qingyue's fan supertopic on her blog who has followed her all the way, whether Shen Qingyue is down or up.
The big fan was followed by a group of loyal small fans. Unlike Zheng Xin's fans back then, when Zheng Xin got into trouble, the big fan ran away faster than anyone else.
Shen Qingyue knew that he needed to win over the big fan first, at least to help stabilize the fan group. So, Shen Qingyue gave that big fan quite a few benefits.
She knew she wouldn't become famous, but she was at least stable. At least her agency wouldn't terminate her contract, she still had a PR team, and while she had few assistants and resources, she wasn't lacking either.
Upon reaching the first challenge, Su Qi watched the live stream at home, observing Shen Qingyue's reaction.
Shen Qingyue was standing in the center, which was exactly where Su Qi had stood before. The balance beam loosened, and she accidentally fell off.
Shen Qingyue didn't understand how it had fallen down; she had already reinstalled the screws.
The audience erupted in laughter as Shen Qingyue fell behind.
[1L: Oh my god, I bumped my arm and there's a bruise on it.]
[2L: Haha, wasn't she supposed to be pretty capable? How come she fell in the first round?]
Shen Qingyue dusted off his clothes and stood up in a disheveled state, only to find that there was no water in the reservoir at all.
"impossible……"
"I clearly...I clearly added water."
She covered her head and was led up by the staff.
From the very beginning, Shen Qingyue was already three levels behind everyone else, and laughter filled the room.
"Shen Qingyue truly deserves to be the comedic highlight of this episode."
"Oh my god, thank goodness Sister Su Qi didn't come, otherwise it would be so funny."
……
Shen Qingyue took a detour to the second checkpoint. The center of the rotating device had been loosened, so it rotated very quickly.
But Shen Qingyue refused to believe it: "I clearly fixed it again."
She insisted on walking in the very center, and unsurprisingly, she fell down again.
Su Qi nearly choked on her coffee upon seeing this: "Still don't believe me? You really think you've made thorough preparations?"
[1L: Is this woman trying to be funny? She failed two levels in a row.]
[2L: Are you even capable? If you're not physically fit, don't participate in this kind of activity and embarrass yourself!]
Shen Qingyue got up again and went to the third level. By this time, her legs were bruised and swollen from the fall.
With each level you pass, the height increases. Shen Qingyue refused to believe it was bad luck. Even when there was no water in the reservoir, she thought it was just a matter of time. She was sure that nothing would happen when she reached the final level.
The assistant was still trying to persuade Shen Qingyue through the intercom: "Sister, your reputation is already bad, everyone is saying you're deliberately playing the victim and putting on a show! If you continue like this, the company will really be so angry that they'll terminate your contract!"
"No way! I'll definitely be able to make a comeback after I finish recording this variety show! There's still a chance!"
She wiped her mouth and continued.
She fell down almost every time she passed a level, from the fourth level to the fifth level.
It wasn't until she was covered in bruises and her face was swollen and bruised that she finally realized it was a trap.
It must have been Su Qi who did something after her.
Su Qi was at home filing her nails, enjoying a leisurely holiday.
The phone rang suddenly; it was Zheng Ran.
"Su Qi, you finally got this opportunity to appear on a variety show, why did you swap the gig with Shen Qingyue?"
"If Shen Chaohuai hadn't come to me and given me a chance, I..."
Zheng Ran paused for a moment, then said cautiously.
"You won't be upset that I agreed without my consent, will you?"
She played with her slender fingers: "No, I'm afraid you won't agree. If you don't agree, I'll have to come to you in person."
Zheng Ran didn't understand what she was up to: "Why bother? My promise to you..."
"Don't worry, I won't forget."
"I just wanted to teach Shen Qingyue a lesson."
Su Qi smiled, saying this on purpose.
"Who told her to be your ex-fiancée? Sigh, that woman's jealousy is just like that, she has to hold a grudge and then get revenge, that's how she feels."
Upon hearing that Su Qi did this because she was jealous of him, Zheng Ran was indeed pleased: "In that case, Xiao Qi can do whatever she wants. I can even help you out again."
"How to help?"
"Add fuel to the fire..." Zheng Ran smiled maliciously.
Shen Qingyue's agency had already made plans to freeze her career. Upon receiving this news, Shen Qingyue, who was resting at the variety show set, rushed outside.
The final challenge was rock climbing, but the artists planned to take a short break before continuing filming.
She didn't care about anything else, ran out to make a phone call, and argued with her assistant and the company. When her big fan learned that she was going to be blacklisted and eventually terminated her contract, she felt like the sky had fallen.
Fan groups have been fleeing and reselling previous materials.
Shen Qingyue hurriedly went to Shen Chaohuai: "Brother, please help me! I'm not making a comeback, and I won't bully Su Qi anymore. I don't want to be sidelined!"
Shen Chaohuai pushed her away: "You asked for this..."
"I was really wrong... I'm looking for Su Qi... Could you please call her over for me?!"
Su Qi arrived at the scene as she wished.
"Shen Qingyue, perhaps if you pass the last hurdle, your company will see that you still have value."
Shen Qingyue grabbed the hem of her skirt: "Do I really still have a chance? You're not trying to lie to me again, are you?"
Shen Qingyue suddenly reached out and slapped his own cheeks. Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi were both startled, not expecting Shen Qingyue to do this for survival.
"It's all my fault...it's all my fault...I used to hold a grudge against you, it was me, it's all my fault, please forgive me!"
Su Qi gently lifted her chin and pinched it: "Look, what a beautiful and pure face. It's a pity that this part... is dark."
Su Qi pointed to her heart.
“I can help you,” Su Qi said, looking at the bruises all over her body. “But you have to get through the sixth level first and climb up.”
"Okay...okay...I'll climb, I'll climb right now and show you..."
However, just as she was walking down the corridor to the scene, she encountered someone.
"Brother Ran..."
"What did Su Qi promise you this time?" Zheng Ran asked, glancing at her expensive gold watch, her fair wrist flushed slightly. "Shen Qingyue, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Stay away from her."
"As for your being sidelined... I brought it up with your company..."
Shen Qingyue clenched her fists, knowing that Zheng Ran would not help her. Men are all the same, heartless and ungrateful. They only used her today because she still had some value to them.
Su Qi is kind-hearted; once she passes the sixth trial, she will be saved...
But before that, she needs to protect herself and gain enough exposure before she is sidelined, so that she will still have a chance to be mentioned by the world and then make a comeback.
She returned to the scene.
"I heard this woman is going to be fired by the company and won't be able to continue being an artist."
"real or fake?"
……
With red eyes, she suddenly opened them, tears welling up: "I'm not competing for first place. Before entering the sixth level, I want to tell everyone a secret."
"A secret related to my ex-fiancé..."
