Hanks left in a hurry.
He said he had ordered nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses to win back his supermodel ex-girlfriend, Vivian. For his change of heart and awakening as a scumbag.
Lin Muci raised an eyebrow and could only wish him good luck.
She took a car back to the hotel. When her phone rang, she was still engrossed in reading the script and understanding the character. She picked up the phone and heard Yang Weiyang's excited, nervous, and thrilled voice on the other end!
"Xiao Ci, you must check Weibo!"
"Do you know? Lu Keke and Lu Miaoyu have challenged us!"
"They want a stage battle with us!"
"Using their second single against our second single."
"She actually dares to challenge us. How can her behavior be described? It's simply inviting disgrace!"
Lin Muci was also a bit puzzled. How could someone be so... so shameless? She logged into her account and then rushed to the Weibo battlefield.
Sweet Dream Team Lu Keke: "Our second single will go head-to-head with Era Girls' second single!"
"We will prove ourselves. We are definitely not inferior to them. Our second single stage is ready, and we will surely achieve a breakthrough, crushing them under our feet. This time, are you ready to witness our comeback with us!"
Below was a short video of their team gathering and cheering each other on.
Fortunately, she was self-aware.
She turned off the comments.
She only left a few selected Weibo posts by hired commenters.
"Support! Sweet Dream Team will surely crush Era Girls!"
"Sweet Dream Team is the strongest. Keke, we will always support you and always be your little elk in Kokoxili!"
By the way, Lu Keke's fans are called "Little Elks in Kokoxili."
This name was specifically chosen by her for her fans.
Yang Weiyang's teeth were almost aching from what she saw.
"Is she shameless? Truly, if a person has no shame, they are invincible. After losing so miserably, she still dares to brazenly claim to challenge us? What does she have to challenge us with? It's truly laughable!"
Yang Weiyang was utterly dismissive.
But Lin Muci said,
"She probably found a good new song, which is why she's so confident."
Ling Qianhe, in an interview after the concert, also mentioned the issue of writing songs for Era Girls. He explicitly stated that he would no longer write for Era Girls' second single.
So, perhaps this was why.
Lu Keke felt she had an opportunity.
Yang Weiyang snorted coldly.
"We will not lose. When Xiao Ci returns, we will record the song and practice the dance. Lu Keke's group won't win with their second single either. Even if their agency spends a lot of money to buy them a good song, so what?"
"Their group doesn't have a single decent singer. They are all like broken gongs, all of them hitting off-key on stage."
"Lu Keke will definitely not win!"
"Giving a good song to her would only be a waste of a good song."
Lin Muci acted more decisively.
She directly posted a Weibo.
"Our second single will be released soon. It will be a great song that will absolutely not disappoint everyone."
"I know some people want to challenge us. That's fine."
"Whether it's being an idol, a singer, or an actor, ultimately, it's about letting the work speak for itself."
"Please look forward to our work!"
Her reply was undoubtedly extremely dignified.
The comments below instantly exceeded ten thousand.
"Hahaha, Xiao Ci has personally come out to slap their faces! I absolutely believe in Xiao Ci. Xiao Ci's work will definitely be the best!"
"Even without Qianhe writing the song, I believe the second single won't be that bad. It's true that 'Breaking the Mist' is a global hit single, so it has accumulated extremely high attention. But our Era Girls' strength is here, and no so-called 'ghosts and monsters' can touch us!"
"Looking forward to Xiao Ci! Focus on Era Girls!"
The fans were eagerly awaiting.
Lin Muci could feel Lu Keke and the others fuming through the screen.
Hmm.
They thought that without Ling Qianhe writing songs, they were nothing?
They were truly too naive.
Their second single—it would only be more shocking than "Breaking the Mist"!
...
At the same time, in the recording studio, Lu Keke was coercing the recording engineer.
"You have to be responsible for making our singing flawless! All the off-key parts must be fixed—my family spent a lot of money to buy this song... I demand the best results!"
One single, utter defeat.
Lu Keke clenched her fists. She lost the newcomer award to Era Girls.
She lost "Tomorrow's Idol" to Lin Muci.
She had connections and strength, so why did she end up like this? She was unwilling and determined to regain her honor.
The sound engineer showed a very troubled expression.
"This... I've already done my best, but none of you are in tune..."
Lu Keke, however, threatened him arrogantly.
"I don't care. I want my singing to be perfect. And this time, I must pre-record enough versions. I will absolutely not sing live—pre-record it, and then you fix it for me. This way, every performance will be perfect!"
She turned to Lu Miaoyu and then coldly, arrogantly questioned her.
"How is your dance practice going?"
"If you continue to hold us back, I'm telling you, this time, I will not hold back at all. I will personally expel you!"
Lu Keke's tone was extremely fierce.
Lu Miaoyu was startled. Her face was haggard, and she stood in front of Lu Keke.
Meekly, with the appearance of someone who had suffered immense injustice.
"I've practiced... many times."
Lu Keke, however, was not buying it at all.
"Stop acting pitiful. Did I bully you? Hmph, you green tea!"
"With your dancing level, no agency outside would even consider someone with your skill. It's only because I'm generous that I'm giving you a chance to eat!"
Lu Keke sneered, wishing she could slap her across the face.
"Don't think you can get away with acting pitiful. If you make a mistake on stage, Lu Miaoyu—I swear, you will regret it. Just go and shatter glass with your knees!"
Lu Miaoyu trembled.
Lu Keke turned to the other girls.
"Ling Qianhe will no longer write songs for Era Girls. This is our only chance. It's either success or ruin. We must use this bet to defeat Era Girls in one fell swoop!"
"We will rise by stepping on Lin Muci and her team. Do you understand?"
Her gaze was sharp as she looked at these girls.
Lu Keke turned to the recording engineer.
"Our song must be perfect—this time, I will definitely let Lin Muci know what true despair is!"
Without Ling Qianhe's support.
Without Ling Qianhe writing songs for Lin Muci.
Let's see how she can still show off!
Their second single will surely be a complete failure!
