The system laughed heartily as it watched Lu Yuanhang struggle to tend to his wounds.
"Host, your last sentence really captured Ling Qianhe's style. You two are truly destined soulmates!"
Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Muci's eyes turned as cold as ice.
"Don't mention him, okay?"
The system feigned helplessness.
"But you still have to see him, don't you?"
Lin Muci huffed unhappily.
Thinking about having to return for the competition, she was extremely displeased.
If she was displeased, she had to vent. She asked,
"How many shares does Lu Yuanhang have now?"
The system replied,
"Well, combined with the shares your maternal grandfather gave you, it's just enough to control the Lin family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so agitated to come and trick your mother into transferring shares."
A contract flashed through Lin Muci's mind.
This was something she had specifically asked Lin Cuiping for.
It was the contract for when Lin Cuiping transferred shares to Lu Yuanhang.
But as her fingertips traced over the contract line by line, she said with utmost calmness,
"Actually, this contract might not be legally binding."
Lin Muci continued,
"Lu Yuanhang doesn't understand the law himself. He just found a law school classmate to hastily draft an equity transfer agreement. Now, it looks riddled with loopholes. If it went to court, I could make him disgorge all these shares, leaving him with billions in debt."
The system suddenly became excited.
"Then, Host, are you going to deal with the scumbag now?"
Lin Muci replied,
"No rush. If I deal with him now, Lin Cuiping might once again have a moment of maternal affection and get him back. It's better to wait until his true colors are completely exposed, so he can truly fall into the abyss. In the original plot, he colluded with Zhao Jingjing to drive Lin Cuiping to despair and suicide. Lin Miaoyu caused the original host to suffer from school bullying and die young. Dealing with them so easily would be letting them off the hook! I want to give them hope, then dash it all, make them live in constant fear, and ultimately, let them fall into hell!"
The system let out an "oh" and then complained,
"You still say you're not influenced by Ling Qianhe. Isn't this clearly Ling Qianhe's modus operandi? Meticulously planned, leaving no room for recovery. Truly a couple!"
The system could always provoke Lin Muci with ease.
"Scram! I'm not his couple! Scram as far away as possible!"
System: *Sniffle, sniffle, the Host is angry again. This Host, this tigress, should be locked up with Ling Qianhe for three days and three nights to battle it out!*
The weekend passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Muci returned to the television station's filming base and received her theme song evaluation grade.
Once again, it was the only S card.
And she was the center.
It was said that this was a joint decision made by the mentors and the television station staff.
The other girls watched her with envious eyes, their gazes red. Only one young girl secretly applauded her, but quickly lowered her hands.
Her name was Yang Weiyang. She was quite pretty, with large, bright, and charming eyes.
However, among these ninety-nine girls, she had little presence.
This was because she sang off-key, was out of tune, and her dancing was uncoordinated.
This kind of talent show arena does not nurture the useless.
None of the mentors had high hopes for her. Out of the ninety-nine girls, she ranked last, at an F level.
If it weren't for her beautiful face, she wouldn't have been selected.
This time, she didn't even get the chance to participate in the theme song stage recording.
She could only be a background prop.
The system noticed Lin Muci looking at Yang Weiyang and brightened.
"Hey? She's also a double-S potential love interest. Unlike your sister's black-and-white lotus, this one is a genuine little white flower. Yang Weiyang, due to her participation in this program, even though she didn't debut with a good ranking, she was noticed by an entertainment company and selected for acting. She became quite famous later, a popular young actress in the industry. If you want to be a star, having more friends isn't bad. If you teach her singing and dancing in front of the camera now, you can improve her rank and showcase your caring nature, whitewashing your currently disastrous reputation. It's a win-win situation!"
Lin Muci, however, shook her head.
"No rush."
The system was a bit confused.
"What is the Host planning?"
Late at night, as the other girls trickled out of the practice room in twos and threes, Yang Weiyang was the only one left, repeatedly practicing in front of the mirror.
However, her limbs were uncoordinated. No matter how much she practiced, she couldn't dance well. She was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead, feeling as though she was about to cry.
The door was pushed open, and she heard a voice beside her ear.
"If you keep going like this, you'll never be able to dance well."
Yang Weiyang looked up, seeing the girl opposite her with a clear, cold, and unrestrained demeanor. She felt tears were about to well up.
The girl merely gazed at her with calm eyes, then hopped over the railing and said,
"Dancing isn't done like this."
Yang Weiyang just bit her lip, wanting to cry.
"I really can't learn..."
"I can't see the teacher's movements clearly."
The girl in front of her gazed at her calmly.
She said,
"I'll dance it once. You follow."
She slowed the tempo down to only one-third of the original speed, manually slow-motion dancing for her.
Yang Weiyang's eyes widened. She watched repeatedly, then slowly mimicked Lin Muci's movements, which had been broken down into the smallest possible units. She learned clumsily, and gradually began to keep up!
The girl was so overjoyed she was almost in tears.
Before they knew it, most of the night had passed. She was exhausted. Lin Muci nodded and told her to go back and rest.
Yang Weiyang kept looking back.
"What about you?"
Lin Muci said,
"I have to wait for the mentor to teach me the center's solo part. She's coming at six. It's five o'clock now, I can't sleep."
Yang Weiyang looked like she was about to cry again. Lin Muci smiled, her lips curling. She said,
"Go get some rest. There's another chance for a make-up test for the theme song evaluation tomorrow. I wish you luck in getting on stage."
Yang Weiyang was deeply moved.
"Why is she so kind? *Sob sob sob*, no matter how much others slander Lin Muci, I will definitely support her!"
