Lin Shen: ??
That wasn’t what he meant at all.
Just as he was about to say something, the call ended.
He was like a small chess piece that was thrown away after being used.
It seemed that his feelings for Ms. Su were deeper than he had imagined.

The school was bustling with activity. Some teachers had accidentally leaked the rules of the preliminary round of the live compet.i.tion.
In order to make the compet.i.tion more interesting, students were free to choose who they wanted to live stream against. If the other party accepted the challenge, the two of them would form a group.
The staff members would count the number of students who did not choose their opponents and randomly paired them up.
It was worth noting that in the preliminaries, the winner would advance and the loser would be eliminated!
Therefore, it would not be rational if one deliberately challenged someone who was much more popular.
Meng Na, who had gotten first-hand information, studied the rules for a while. She asked Zhou Xuefang, “do you have someone you want to go against?”
Zhou Xuefang smiled confidently. “No, but I wonder if there’s anyone who would like to challenge me.”
“You have so many fans. I’d be courting death if I were to challenge you. I can guarantee that there aren’t any.”
“I hope so,” Zhou Xuefang laughed. “What about you?”
At the mention of this, Meng Na’s expression darkened. She touched her short hair and leaned into the chair.
The song Su Ji had adapted went straight to the top of the search engine. In just one day, there was already a big internet celebrity who used her song as the background music.
Meng Na had mixed feelings.
“If I had listened to Su Ji’s suggestion and changed my song, would I have been the one trending today?” She suddenly opened her eyes in frustration.
Su Ji had only heard a short segment but she managed to make it so popular.
If she were to listen to the entire song…
Her regretful expression obviously hurt Zhou Xuefang. She said firmly, “Nana, you have to get this straight. Su Ji became popular only because the netizens had low expectations of her. It’s not because she did well. In terms of creative work, no one in our group can compare to you.”
Seeing that Meng Na did not speak, she continued, “I just asked you who you wanted to challenge and you mentioned Su Ji. Do you want to challenge her?”
Meng Na was indeed furious at the thought of Su Ji borrowing her fame to gain 500,000 fans overnight.
However, there were millions of fans between her and Su Ji. If she really challenged Su Ji, would her fans say that she was bullying her?
Moreover, would Su Ji accept the challenge?

Under the sun, Su Ji looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her and accidentally broke the bubble gum. The sweet strawberry scent immediately permeated the air.
“Want to go for a meal?” Pei Huai asked as he sniffed the fragrance.
Su Ji chewed on her gum and asked, “is there a job for me?”
“Let’s have dinner first. You can only get the job after.”
“What kind of rule is this?” Su Ji asked.
Pei Huai opened the car door and looked at her, “it’s the…unspoken rule.”
