Chapter 466: Mr. Lin Is the Sky

Ning Xiaoyue got third place!

This news quickly stirred public opinion, hitting the top of the trending list like a rocket and exploded.

The heat was so high that even Weibo became a bit paralyzed, and the officials had to urgently ask people to work overtime to handle it, only then did Weibo restore normal use.

The product manager of Weibo had already anticipated that the final of tonight’s show would be hugely popular and even predicted that Ning Xiaoyue would become the biggest focus of attention, but in the end, Weibo still underestimated this level of popularity.

The public opinion surged like a giant wave.

As expected, most people started cursing.

"Why her!"

"Good heavens, I thought she fell off the debut position, yet she debuted, and even in third place!"

"This piece of trash, she’s stolen someone else’s debut spot!"

A storm-like wave of online backlash was rapidly forming.

Just as Lin Fan predicted, when Ning Xiaoyue succeeded, these netizens indeed started to become indignant.

They couldn’t tolerate someone they deemed as a waste succeeding, couldn’t tolerate her pulling away from her embarrassing past and creating distance from them.

They automatically ignored the competition rules as usual, this competition was purely based on popularity, Ning Xiaoyue had high popularity, her votes were third, naturally she debuted third, where’s the talk of snatching others’ positions?

In order to curse Ning Xiaoyue, they’ve completely thrown away rationality and the ability to think, though some people originally didn’t have independent thinking ability, just a bunch of follow-the-trend internet mobsters.

However, even such surging black tides can’t change anything.

The result of Ning Xiaoyue debuting won’t change because of them.

This program, for Ning Xiaoyue, might be her only opportunity for a leap in social class, she’s already successfully upgraded.

These curse words, at most, are just a thunder tribulation brought by her upgrade, Ning Xiaoyue can withstand it.

While ordinary netizens were slinging curses and indulging in a frenzy of online violence.

The companies backing the contestants were deeply affected, Ning Xiaoyue’s debut was simply a loud slap in the face for them.

From their perspective, Ning Xiaoyue was a success, and they were failures.

"Ning Xiaoyue debuted!"

"Incredible, with this girl’s debut, the entertainment industry will be lively in the future."

"Her future is probably immeasurable, what a pity she isn’t with our company."

"Wenyue Company really found a treasure!"

Despite the curses from netizens, industry insiders were already sighing in admiration at how Ning Xiaoyue was practically heaven-sent, each wishing Ning Xiaoyue was an artist from their own company.

Tianxue Entertainment Company.

In the president’s office, Du Tao learned of Ning Xiaoyue’s third-place debut and immediately stood up in excitement.

"Debuting, Mr. Lin’s insight is really impressive, I’m in awe, even before Ning Xiaoyue joined the program, he invested in Wenyue Company, this insight is just incredible, even I can only kneel."

Du Tao sincerely exclaimed.

He truly admired Lin Fan too much, even though he’s a figure in the entertainment industry capable of causing a stir, he admitted he couldn’t match Lin Fan’s vision.

He had been in the entertainment industry for many years and never discovered an artist like Ning Xiaoyue, an artist full of controversy, capable of sparking large-scale discussions wherever she goes, difficult not to become popular, such a person is heaven-sent, a dream for entertainment companies.

Only Mr. Lin had such vision to discover Ning Xiaoyue.

For a moment, Du Tao’s admiration for Lin Fan was like an endless river, if Ning Xiaoyue was the heaven-sent girl, then Mr. Lin was that heaven!

Du Tao calmed down and immediately called Lin Fan.

"Miss Ning debuted, congratulations Mr. Lin," Du Tao congratulated.

Lin Fan replied with a smile, "Thank you, Old Du."

Du Tao said, "Mr. Lin, regarding Miss Ning’s future development, if you need my help, just instruct me, I’ll assist."

Lin Fan said, "Alright, actually, you’ve already helped a lot this time, I’ll remember it."

Du Tao was very pleased, "Being able to serve Mr. Lin is my honor."

Wenyue Company.

Watching Lin Fan put down his phone, Feng Tianming said with a cold smile, "Lin Fan, the top two haven’t been announced yet, don’t be so triumphant, already celebrating, soon you’ll face humiliation!"

Lin Fan smiled, "You don’t understand what I’m happy about, I’m happy for Xiaoyue’s debut, as for our wager, it’s even insignificant compared to this."

Feng Tianming laughed heartily, "Lin Fan, you’re quite adept at maintaining dignity, knowing you’re going to lose, you’re acting as if losing doesn’t matter, don’t pretend it doesn’t matter! I want you to remember, you’ve been defeated by me, have 1 billion ready for me!"

Lin Fan was unperturbed, "If I truly lose, I’ll naturally fulfill the wager."

Feng Tianming arrogantly said, "What do you mean if, you are definitely losing!"

At this moment, the program announced the second-place contestant.

This contestant, however, wasn’t Feng Tianming’s A-Class Player.

Feng Tianming was taken aback and suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha... wonderful, C-position, my person is debuting at C-position!"

Assuming his person would definitely have a debut position, now only the C-position is left to be announced, naturally, his person is at C-position! Feng Tianming was confident his person would secure a spot!

So he had already started celebrating in advance.

"Hahaha... Lin Fan, you’ve lost, you’re just as worthless as Ning Xiaoyue, pay the 1 billion quickly!"

Seeing Feng Tianming’s smug demeanor, everyone furrowed their brows, the C-position hadn’t been announced yet, what if it’s not his, wouldn’t that be awkward...

Finally, it was time to announce the C-position.

The host read out a name.

The person wasn’t Feng Tianming’s A-Class Player!

"What?"

Feng Tianming was originally laughing, but his smile froze, filled with disbelief as he watched the program, the C-position debut female walked out, accepting applause and congratulations.

Indeed not his A-Class Player!

His player didn’t secure a debut position, couldn’t even get ninth place, failed to debut!

Feng Tianming was shocked, his face pale, hands and feet cold, his entire body trembling, sweat dripping.

"How could this be, how could this be?" Feng Tianming mumbled, unable to accept this reality.

There must be a mistake, the program must have messed up, how could his person not even have a debut position!

Until the C-position female entered the trending list, Feng Tianming had to accept the reality, his person indeed didn’t make it!

He lost to Lin Fan!

Lost miserably, Ning Xiaoyue debuted at third highest position. His person couldn’t even debut, that’s not all, the worst part is, he has to pay Lin Fan 1 billion in cash, a real 1 billion in cash!

Feng Tianming was always confident, certain he could beat Lin Fan, so he never considered what 1 billion cash meant, now with his defeat clear, he suddenly realized, 1 billion is an enormous amount.

He can’t come up with it!
