Chapter 140 - 140: Don ‘t Joke Around Like This Next Time, Others Will Misunderstand You
“I have money too!”
Yun Wu dug into her pockets as well.
Unfortunately, she had no money on her right now.
When she entered the training camp, the staff took away all the things that she did not need. They would only return them to her after the show ended.
As if she was worried that Lin Shanchu would think she was bragging, Yun Wu added in a more serious tone, “It’s true!”
Lin Shanchu was amused by her. “I believe you. Hurry up and eat.”
After Yun Wu finished her meal, Lin Shanchu rested with her for a while before going to look for the director.
She did not participate in the recording of the song selection for the second public showdown and the release of the newest rankings, so she had to discuss that issue now.
“There’s still one spot for the team that only has one ballad. Do you want to join this group right away, or do you want to choose something else?”
The director handed the song list to Lin Shanchu.
Ballads were disadvantageous during public showdowns.
It was better to sing and dance on stage, which was also a test of one’s foundation.
Therefore, no one wanted to choose ballads.
“I’ll choose something else.” Lin Shanchu took the song list and found Xia Jinmeng’s name. “This one.”
The director came over to take a look and asked with a strange expression, “Are you really going to choose ‘Love Me’?”
“Is there a problem with this song?”
The director took out his phone and played the dance video of “Love Me” for Lin Shanchu.
Both the song and the dance were decent.
The style was seductive and alluring, which was something Lin Shanchu had never tried before.
After Lin Shanchu finished watching it, she praised from the bottom of her heart, “Wow! This dance is so hot!”
“Are you sure you still want to choose this?”
Most celebrities had their own style and character.
Normally, they would not easily step out of their comfort zone to try other things because most of them would fail.
Even if they wanted to try something else, they would do it slowly.
They would never transition so suddenly.
Lin Shanchu was born with a pure and innocent face. She didn’t look like the type to perform hot dances.
“Yeap.” Lin Shanchu returned the song list to the director. “I’ll go and bond with my new groupmates.”
The director watched helplessly as Lin Shanchu walked toward the training room.
It was only after Lin Shanchu had disappeared that the director took out his phone and called Nan Mu.
“President Nan, Lin Shanchu chose ‘Love Me’.”
“Okay.”
“You’re the boss. Aren’t you going to control her?”
Nan Mu stopped what he was doing. “Is there a problem with ‘Love Me’?”
The director patiently explained to Nan Mu how sexy and hot this dance was. It wasn’t Lin Shanchu’s style. If it went wrong, the consequences would be very serious.
“That’s good,” Nan Mu replied. “The anticipation meter for the second public showdown will be maxed out.’
The director was confused.
Nan Mu: “Shoot more scenes. The audience loves them.”
The director was speechless.
“Don’t worry, Lin Shanchu can definitely do it.” Even Lu Shiyuan was no match for Lin Shanchu.
Not to mention a hot dance.
In the training room of “Love Me”, the students all stopped when they saw Lin Shanchu enter.
Xia Jinmeng was resting at the side, so she did not notice Lin Shanchu immediately.
After she noticed that everyone had stopped, she followed their line of sight and saw Lin Shanchu slowly walking over.
“What are you doing here?” Xia Jinmeng stood up.”
“I’m here to practice my dance.” Lin Shanchu smiled calmly.
Then, she turned to look at the other team members.
“Sorry about that. All of you may need to readjust your dance segments and positions since I joined at the very last minute, but there’s no need to worry. I will try my best to keep up with everyone’s progress.”
Lin Shanchu might sound apologetic, but it sounded like a notice to the others.
However, her tone was frank and straightforward, and it did not make people feel uncomfortable.
Besides, Lin Shanchu had won first place for two consecutive episodes. She was free to choose whichever group she wanted.
Those who were inferior to her would have to acknowledge her superior skills.
The other groupmates were very polite to Lin Shanchu, except for Xia Jinmeng. “It’s fine. We’ve only practiced for about three days.”
Her groupmates were polite on the outside, but deep down, they were very puzzled.
Everyone in the production crew knew that Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng had a feud.
There were so many songs to choose from, but she chose to be paired with Xia Jinmeng.
Xia Jinmeng stood at the side without saying anything.
She didn’t understand what Lin Shanchu was up to.
At this moment, a staff member from the production crew walked into the room.
They announce Lin Shanchu’s participation in “Love Me”.
Only then did everyone confirm that Lin Shanchu really wanted to join “Love
Everyone in the group other than Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng had yet to be enlisted on the debut list.
Even if they practiced until they vomited blood, it was still impossible for them to snatch Lin Shanchu’s first place.
This way, they wouldn’t have any conflict of interest with Lin Shanchu, and they might even be able to get more exposure.
The other teammates exchanged a few polite words with Lin Shanchu before going off to practice their dance.
Only Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng stood where they were.
Xia Jinmeng had already fallen out with Lin Shanchu previously, so she was too lazy to keep up the pretenses with her.
The moment she decided to speak, her words were spat out rudely. “Lin
Shanchu, are you crazy?”
There were so many good songs to choose from, but Lin Shanchu just had to be in the same group as her.
If she wasn’t crazy, then what was she planning?
“Yeah,” Lin Shanchu replied with a smile.
After she finished speaking, she began to warm up in front of Xia Jinmeng.
Xia Jinmeng choked on her words.
She suspected that Lin Shanchu was deliberately making things difficult for her.
After Lin Shanchu finished warming up, she walked up to Xia Jinmeng and requested, “Teach me the dance steps.”
Xia Jinmeng’s eyes instantly lit up with pride.
No matter how arrogant Lin Shanchu was, she still had to beg her.
“You should act like it if you’re begging for help.” Xia Jinmeng lowered her voice.”
Lin Shanchu didn’t even blink. She just raised her voice instead. “If you don’t want to teach me, I’ll go find someone else then.”
Xia Jinmeng’s expression changed as she hurriedly interrupted Lin Shanchu. “I was just joking with you! Don’t take it seriously!” The smile on her face was as forced as it could be.
But there was no other way.
Although there was no livestream at the moment, there were cameras recording the entire process.
The production crew had also gone crazy for the sake of the viewership ratings.
Who knew if the editors would secretly include this part in the final footage?
If that were to happen, the netizens could easily drown her with criticism.
Xia Jinmeng still wanted to be famous, so she couldn’t ruin her image.
“Don’t joke around like this next time. People will misunderstand you,” Lin Shanchu stated sincerely. ”
Xia Jinmeng was speechless.
Lin Shanchu was definitely here to make things difficult for her!
F*ck!
Suppressing her anger, a reluctant Xia Jinmeng began to teach Lin Shanchu the dance steps.
Since Lin Shanchu was just starting the practice, she was not familiar with the dance, so she would occasionally miss some moves.
Xia Jinmeng thought that her chance for revenge had come.
“This action isn’t difficult at all. Why can’t you…” Xia Jinmeng wanted to mock Lin Shanchu for not knowing how to pull the step off properly.
Unfortunately, Xia Jinmeng was interrupted by Lin Shanchu halfway through her sarcastic words.
“You’re so amazing. You can dance so well so quickly.”
Lin Shanchu was even smiling sincerely.
There was no trace of disguise on her face.
However, Xia Jinmeng could hear the mockery in her words..
