Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Conspiracy Succeeds (Vote for me!)

Subsequently, Ah Bai took Chu Xiaoran to Mr. Liu and said, "Xiao Ran has agreed."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu’s face broke into a smile, "Good, good. The concert is about to start, you guys hurry and prepare."

After finishing his words, he left as he had other arrangements to make.

Xiao Zheng saw Chu Xiaoran sitting on the chair with red eyes, walked over, tousled her hair, and said with a gentle smile, "Sing well. Even though it’s lip-syncing, you still need to present your best."

Xiao Zheng’s hands, accustomed to years of martial training, were naturally unlike those of ordinary people, broad and warm. Chu Xiaoran felt a sudden sense of security in her heart and hummed in a nasal tone.

Soon, the performance began.

Chu Xiaoran was indeed very professional. In the short time prior, she had adjusted herself to her best state and then walked onto the stage with a smile.

’Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, we love you.’

"Xiao Ran, keep it up!"

"Xiao Ran, you’re the best."

After Chu Xiaoran took the stage, her fans went wild, holding signs and glow sticks, and shouting excitedly with thrilled expressions on their faces. The scene was quite impressive.

Xiao Zheng and Ah Bai were standing in a corner behind the stage, watching this scene unfold.

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile, "This little girl looks quite good, huh? She’s gained so many fans already."

Ah Bai smiled warmly, "Xiao Ran, despite her usually boisterous and noisy demeanor, truly loves this profession. She’s very dedicated and sincere."

At that moment, melodious music began to play on stage. Following the rhythm, Chu Xiaoran started to sing. Her ethereal voice spread throughout the entire square.

Although it was lip-syncing, the track was recorded by Chu Xiaoran herself, hence it was almost indistinguishable from live singing, completely identical.

At this time, Chu Xiaoran’s fans quieted down, swayed their arms along with the melodious music, their faces breaking into pleased smiles.

Even Xiao Zheng’s eyes revealed a hint of admiration since Chu Xiaoran’s singing was indeed good, making her performance nearly perfect.

But just then, backstage, Fatty Wang revealed a sinister smile, muttering to himself, "Chu Xiaoran, Chu Xiaoran, today I will ruin you!"

This commercial performance was under his direction, and making a few tweaks was incredibly easy for him. At that moment, he instructed someone to switch the music exactly when Chu Xiaoran was syncing her lips!

This move was disastrous. Chu Xiaoran had been performing almost flawlessly, but as soon as Fatty Wang switched the music, her lip movements were completely off.

Chu Xiaoran was shocked, her face showing confusion, not understanding why such a thing would happen, but at this point, there was no turning back,

since she was on stage. Although slightly puzzled, Chu Xiaoran had no choice but to continue with the rhythm of the music.

As a result, the discrepancies in her lip-syncing became even more apparent!

"Damn, this woman is lip-syncing, look, she can’t even match her lip movements."

"That can’t be right? Such a simple song, and she still needs to lip-sync?"

"Look, look, it’s true, her lip sync is full of errors now."

Just then, a disturbance arose among the audience below the stage, and several sharp voices rang out. They seemed to be prepared in advance, and as soon as they began to talk, all the spectators heard them.

These people were naturally prearranged by Fatty Wang. As soon as Chu Xiaoran slipped up, they would immediately shout loudly to lead the crowd’s mood.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Exactly, how could Xiao Ran possibly be lip-syncing?"

"She tried her hardest!"

Among the audience, many were Chu Xiaoran’s fans. Hearing these words, naturally, they all became dissatisfied and immediately retorted, creating instant chaos in the seating area.

Many people were arguing.

Seeing this, Chu Xiaoran also became flustered.

Gradually, the noise of the argument grew louder until, in the end, nearly everyone was focused on the issue of Chu Xiaoran lip-syncing.

And because Fatty Wang had changed the music, Chu Xiaoran’s lip movements had many obvious mistakes, so when people focused on this aspect, they quickly noticed the problem.

Immediately, everyone was dissatisfied.

"She really is lip-syncing!"

"Does this Chu Xiaoran have any professional integrity at all?"

"Heh, probably just a sham!"

People were either furiously cursing or coldly mocking, and even Chu Xiaoran’s fans quieted down, each of them showing a look of disappointment in their eyes.

On the stage, Chu Xiaoran saw everything clearly. Her heart turned ice-cold in an instant, especially the disappointed and even indifferent looks from her fans, which felt like daggers piercing her heart.

"I..."

Chu Xiaoran wanted to keep singing, but found she could no longer sing.

The audience’s angry curses rose like a tide, drowning her!

Seeing this scene, Ah Bai’s face truly turned pale with fright. She had not anticipated such a significant error occurring.

What did this mean? Chu Xiaoran’s future career would have such a stain, basically unable to advance further!

Backstage, Fatty Wang and Boss He saw the scene and exchanged glances, smirks of successful scheming playing on their lips, secretly pleased.

Just a simple plot had caused a rising star to fall.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng saw the scene and also frowned slightly.

His mind raced, feeling that something about this situation was off.

However, at such a time, Xiao Zheng couldn’t afford to think too much. Seeing that the audience was getting angrier and crazier, some even throwing dirty objects at Chu Xiaoran,

Xiao Zheng took a step forward, went up on stage, scooped Chu Xiaoran up, and took her backstage. He whispered, "Let’s hide out for a bit."

At this time, Mr. Liu, who was in charge of this commercial performance, was cursing as he walked over. Upon seeing Chu Xiaoran, he shouted angrily, "What the hell is wrong with you, can’t even manage a lip-sync?

Goddamn it, a perfectly good commercial performance, ruined by you! Compensation, you’ll compensate for all the losses caused this time!"

"Shut up!"

Xiao Zheng gave Mr. Liu a cold glance.

Suddenly, a pressing force emanated from Xiao Zheng’s body and swept over. Mr. Liu instantly felt a chill all over his body, as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast, and he dared not speak anymore.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Zheng looked at Chu Xiaoran and asked softly.
