Chapter 113: Impulse is the Devil
Chapter 113
Things started to get out of hand, and Ji Nian also knew that this job was basically ruined, due to her momentary impulse.
But she had once been a people's teacher, teaching and educating students, fairness and justice were the most fundamental rules of this society, even though many things couldn't be changed.
"Whether I have my own works or not, whether I can compose or not, I came here because the show invited me!"
Ji Nian stared at the person on stage with a serious expression and said, "I was publicly humiliated just for offering my own opinion, and there were even people backing the other side. This made me very angry. Didn't nine years of compulsory education teach you manners?"
The internet also exploded, with many finding the woman's confrontation on stage exciting.
"So awesome, I love it."
"Nine years of compulsory education and still missed?"
"Backing? Are they talking about Teacher Zhou? Hahaha."
"They just called Ji Nian a newcomer, implying that they were helping Jiang Zhe."
"Wow, does Teacher Zhou have such unique taste? He rejected good ones but gave the green light to this one?"
"I'm laughing! We viewers were fooled before, but who knew the inside story was so deep."
Ji Nian felt it was enough. Today's job was a disaster, leaving her in a terrible mood.
She put down the microphone, turned to look at Teacher Zhou not far from the judges' table, a cold smile on her lips as she cast a disdainful glance at him, then turned and walked off the stage.
The camera captured this scene, the woman like a night rose, noble and alluring. That glance, followed by her confident exit, left the audience in awe.
"Damn, Ji Nian looked like a queen at that moment!"
"Ahhhhhh, I love it."
"That glance, I love it hahaha, confident and arrogant."
"She composed on the spot, couldn't you all tell? She's mysterious!!"
"Awesome! I suddenly feel like Yu Luobai would be great with her!"
"She's beautiful, good at composing, can play the piano, and has a nice personality too, hahahaha."
"The one above, I'm team Nian-book, she's our Shuyao's!"
On Ji Nian's side, she openly left the live broadcast venue. At this moment, some audience members also came out to see the commotion. At the entrance of the studio, reporters who had caught wind of the situation surrounded her.
"Ms. Ji, do you have anything else to say about the inside story of this talent show?"
"Ms. Ji, is the inside story of this talent show real?"
"Ms. Ji, you composed two songs on the spot. Does that mean you're the mysterious composer yourself?"
"Or is it just a coincidence that the theme Jiang Zhe gave today happened to be something the mysterious composer had done before, so you happened to have it?"
Ji Nian looked at the crowd surrounding her, still fuming, with an icy cold expression on her face.
He Yi had anticipated they would be surrounded when the incident happened on the show, so she had already contacted the company to arrange security personnel.
At this moment, she was instructing the security guards to quickly separate the crowd, then hurried in. Before she could say anything, she saw the woman looking at her with a pitiful expression.
When Ji Nian saw the familiar person, her nose tingled, and she felt a little regretful for her earlier forcefulness, publicly revealing the inside story of the talent show. She didn't know what consequences it might bring, and she felt wronged.
"Did I do something wrong?" Ji Nian's nose tingled, her eyes brimming with tears. Although she felt great for confronting them earlier, she now felt she shouldn't have. Looking at He Yi, she was like a wronged child, big teardrops falling as she cried miserably.
He Yi was taken aback, knowing that although their artist had made a mistake, the judge was also disrespectful for siding with the contestant.
"Don't cry, sister," He Yi quickly comforted her.
Meanwhile, reporters were frantically taking photos, and the audience members who had followed also captured the woman's transformation - from a powerful queen on stage to a wronged child when she saw someone familiar, pitiful and indignant, her tearful expression creating an adorable contrast.
When they got home late at night, Ji Nian's eyes were still red, and she didn't say a word on the way.
After sitting on the couch at home, she fell silent. He Yi had just finished a call with Shen Shuyao and came over.
"Are you still angry, sister?" He Yi poured her a glass of water.
Ji Nian looked innocent, not really angry anymore. She was just thinking about the inscrutable entertainment industry and what kind of job she could do if she was truly blacklisted.
"Did I get myself into big trouble?" Ji Nian asked carefully, noting that He Yi had received many calls from the company on the way.
He Yi sighed, saying impatiently, "Do you even need to ask? Of course you did."
"Then what should I do?" Ji Nian was taken aback, worried she might be sued again and end up in debt. She hadn't even paid back Li Ran's debt yet, and her acting fees hadn't been paid out...
"Don't worry, let's see how the internet reacts first. For now, most of your fans are on your side, and most viewers support you too."
He Yi checked the Weibo trending topics again and said, "The company is also finding internet trolls and marketing accounts to help sway public opinion in your favor."
"What did Shuyao say on the call?" Ji Nian asked.
"She was concerned about you. The news has blown up, with videos showing you crying pitifully," He Yi said, both exasperated and amused.
"The contestants were rude, and the judge was shady too," Ji Nian complained.
"Go to sleep. Whatever happens, it's up to me, your poor manager, to deal with it," He Yi said, rolling her eyes at Ji Nian. "I'll head back first. Get some rest."
"Okay, bye." Ji Nian nodded obediently.
Watching He Yi leave with her bag, Ji Nian sighed. Impulse was the devil...
When Yu Luobai saw the news, he was surprised and watched the replay. Afterward, he opened his phone and sent a message.
Yu Luobai: Where are you?
Ji Nian's eyes were still red when she received the message, replying with two words.
Ji Nian: At home.
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang. Ji Nian was puzzled and went to open the door.
"Mr. Yu!" Ji Nian exclaimed in surprise. "Why are you here?" Just a second ago, they were texting.
Yu Luobai frowned slightly when he saw her red eyes. "Still crying?"
Ji Nian pouted and shook her head. "Come in and sit."
Yu Luobai nodded, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes as he saw the woman's dejected look.
Ji Nian poured him a glass of water, then sat cross-legged on the couch, still thinking about today's events and wondering how the company would handle it.
She wasn't afraid of anything except going into debt again. Thinking about it made her regret her actions immensely - she had been too reckless.
"I saw the news," Yu Luobai said.
Ji Nian turned to him, her mood low. "Do you think I did the wrong thing too, Mr. Yu?"
