Xu Tingyu was angry about this incident.
Because the other party didn't respect her; it was almost like a backstab.
"Before, you always said that dancing was your passion. Now, I'm starting to have my doubts," she said.
"Sheng Man, you're only 21. You've got a long way to go in the future, and there will be many temptations."
"If it was really just an accidental mistake, I would never blame you. But right now, I can't accept it."
"I don't want to lecture you, but I hope you can apologize for this."
She didn't make a scene. Instead, she just stared quietly into Sheng Man's eyes.
People always choose themselves when faced with interests.
She could understand that, but an apology was needed.
Sheng Man's face was flushed, and he apologized seriously, "I'm sorry. I truly am."
Hearing this, Qi Ruixi rushed over.
"If an apology could solve everything, then what's the law for?"
"The whole internet is in an uproar now. Do you think you can just say sorry and it's all over?"
"Just tell me, was this the program crew's demand, or was it related to that woman, Xie Yu?"
Xie Yu had just been to the Qi Group in the morning, and this happened on the program at night. It was hard not to be suspicious.
Sheng Man shook his head, avoiding the other's gaze. "It wasn't Teacher Xie. It was really the people from the program crew who approached me."
He looked extremely dejected.
Qi Ruixi snorted, indicating her disbelief.
The three of them fell into silence for a moment. Finally, Xu Tingyu spoke up.
"It's impossible for you to apologize publicly, but I hope this is the first and last time."
"From now on, we won't cooperate anymore."
She took one last look at Sheng Man, then left with Qi Ruixi.
"Sister-in-law, are you just going to let this go? He hurt you like this and made you get scolded. He deserves to be ruined," Qi Ruixi said unwillingly, muttering as they walked.
Xu Tingyu shook her head. "Since it was the program crew's demand, how could the truth be made public?"
"Moreover, although his real identity has been guessed, he can't publicly admit it before the program ends. So it's not convenient for him to apologize publicly on his personal account."
"After all, this is ultimately the program crew's problem. But I need this job, so I can't fall out with them."
If she wasn't short on money, she would definitely quit this trouble - making program immediately.
But since she was in need of money, she had to swallow her anger.
Qi Ruixi didn't know about her difficulties. She just thought Xu Tingyu was kind - hearted and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
"Sister-in-law, you're just too proper."
Xu Tingyu stopped in her tracks, as if suddenly enlightened.
Too proper?
In other words, she was too concerned about her reputation, which was why she was always held back.
But her upbringing since childhood had taught her to be proper, and it wasn't something that could be changed overnight.
So in the end, this matter just faded away.
She privately talked to Li Yang once, expressing her unwillingness to be hyped.
"I'm just here for the competition. I can cooperate with the program crew for publicity, but I don't want such malicious hype."
"If you don't agree, I can quit the program."
Although she didn't really want to quit, her attitude had to be clear.
Li Yang had a hard time explaining himself. He could only reluctantly agree and apologize repeatedly.
"I'm sorry. It was our mistake. There will definitely be no similar situations in the future."
"But we really didn't expect it to be taken advantage of like this by someone with ill intentions."
"Our original intention was just to make the program more exciting."
"After all, your and Sheng Man's strength is obvious to all. The result of the competition was almost predictable."
"Of course, this is not an excuse for us to play tricks behind your back. We guarantee that we'll never do it again."
Since he had said so much, Xu Tingyu couldn't pursue the matter further.
But after she left, Li Yang got angry with his assistant.
"Who on earth gave you the guts? Didn't we say at the beginning that we're not allowed to hype her?"
The assistant looked innocent. "We didn't know it would turn out like this at that time. I thought she knew about it."
Li Yang was still very angry. "Who came up with these stupid ideas?"
The assistant thought for a while and recalled, "It seems to be those mentors. During a meeting before, they thought the popularity was not high and said they wanted to create some hype."
Actually, thinking about it carefully, they had forgotten who proposed it first.
Moreover, it wasn't just Xu Tingyu and Sheng Man who were being hyped.
Other contestants were also arranged in a similar way.
But only Xu Tingyu and Sheng Man's case had caused such a big stir.
And the public opinion was one - sided. So strictly speaking, Xu Tingyu was indeed the victim.
Li Yang calmed down. Trying not to think about Xie Yu, he emphasized again and again, "Don't use Xu Tingyu for hype anymore, and Sheng Man too."
After he gave the instructions, when Xu Tingyu was leaving the TV station, she found that there were people holding banners outside.
Qi Ruixi was with her. When she saw those people, she immediately frowned.
"Are these people crazy? It's bad enough that they're going crazy online. Why are they coming here to cause trouble?"
The banners read: Boycott the inferior contestant and return Manman his innocence.
There was no doubt that the inferior contestant referred to Xu Tingyu.
Xu Tingyu frowned too and said to Qi Ruixi, "Put on your mask first. These people's identities are unknown. They may not really be fans."
Qi Ruixi thought it made sense.
"You're right. This is too strange. Even if it was really your mistake, it's just a competition, and you two weren't eliminated."
"Why has it caused so much controversy? And it's one thing after another. After making a fuss online, they come to make trouble offline."
"It feels premeditated. Maybe they're professional trouble - makers. Sister - in - law, quickly cover your face."
Xu Tingyu's identity couldn't be exposed, and these people were obviously targeting her.
Just as the two of them were considering whether to go back into the TV station, a Maybach silently appeared in front of them.
Qi Ruixi's eyes lit up. Before Xu Tingyu could react, she pushed her into the car and then got into the passenger seat.
"Second brother, did you come after seeing my message to support sister - in - law?"
Although he didn't reply to her message, he came so quickly. She decided to forgive him reluctantly.
Xu Tingyu looked a bit embarrassed at Qi Shifeng, who had a poker face.
Then she said in a low voice, "Just drop us off at the intersection ahead. We'll take a taxi back."
She hadn't forgotten that last time this car came to pick up Xie Yu and it made the hot search.
Today's purpose was probably the same.
Qi Shifeng turned to look at her, his tone full of amusement and his eyes full of interest. "What, do you think a taxi is more comfortable?"
Huh?
Xu Tingyu was stunned by the question. The next second, a hand landed on her waist and rubbed it ambiguously.
"Do you not want this waist anymore?"
The few small mistakes she made during the competition were really bad for her waist.
If she hadn't been experienced, she might have sprained her waist on the spot.
She didn't expect Qi Shifeng to notice.
No, he actually watched the competition?
