Song Yue felt a wave of sadness in her heart. The sadness of losing the role overwhelmed her. She had originally thought that s.h.i.+ Jin had gotten the role through her own efforts, but from the looks of it, that wasn’t the case at all.
‘The man beside s.h.i.+ Jin might be her sugar daddy, and he might even be a foreigner.
Did s.h.i.+ Jin not feel ashamed at all for stealing her role in this way? However, before Song Yue could take a photo, s.h.i.+ Jin had already disappeared around the corner.
“Where does that lead to?” Song Yue asked her friend.
“You’re talking about that side? That’s backstage. You can see the national team members.” The friend introduced, “It’s a pity that ordinary people can’t enter.”
Song Yue raised her head and saw a sign that said “No unauthorized personnel allowed”.
Others could not enter, but s.h.i.+ Jin could?

Gu Zehan accompanied s.h.i.+ Jin inside.
The members of $ Nation’s national team were preparing and warming up.
“Senior brother!” Someone recognized Gu Zehan and greeted him enthusiastically.
The figure skating team members were all very young, and there was no lack of teenagers around fourteen or fifteen years old. The oldest was only in his twenties.
Although Gu Zehan had retired for a few years, he had a good relations.h.i.+p with his former head coach and would come back to visit from time to time. He had also designed the skating costumes, so he was very familiar with everyone.
This was the first time s.h.i.+ Jin had come into contact with this group and their working environment, so she was very interested.
Gu Zehan introduced her to the head coach and everyone else. “This is my sister, s.h.i.+ Jin, and a friend.”
Wow!” A few young ladies immediately cupped their faces and looked at s.h.i.+ Jin with starry eyes.
‘They were all fans of s.h.i.+ Jin, and did not expect to see her here.
“s.h.i.+ Jin, can I take a photo with you and ask for your autograph?”
“Of course!” s.h.i.+ Jin agreed.
One of the young ladies had a pair of especially bright and sparkling eyes. “s.h.i.+ Jin, if I win the champions.h.i.+p this time, can you write me a blessing?”
“Of course, I can write it now.”
“No, you don’t need to write it now. I want to earn the champions.h.i.+p first. That way, when I get on stage later, I’ll take this as my incentive.”
“How about this? If you win the champions.h.i.+p, I’ll give you a concert ticket, okay?”
“Really? Can I really?” She jumped up in joy.
“Yes, you heard me right. I’m honored to have you come to watch my concert.”
After receiving s.h.i.+ Jin’s promise, the little girl bounced to the side. Her face was flushed red and it never subsided.
Gu Zehan said, “I shouldn’t have brought you here. I don’t even have a market anymore.”
“So you used to be so popular when you came?”
“Something like that.”
“By the way, Second Brother, what’s the name of the young lady just now?” s.h.i.+ Jin wanted to record this matter down in her memo. When she was preparing for the concert, she would ask Brother Yao to reserve a ticket for her.
“Her name is Jing Qing. She’s 16 years old this year. This is the year where she might win the champions.h.i.+p.”
“She’s sixteen years old, and she’ll have great prospects in the future. Even if she doesn’t make it this year, she’ll still have many chances to win the champions.h.i.+p in the future.”
“Other people might still have it, but it’s hard for her. Don’t look at her smiling face, her leg injury is actually very serious. The team doctor said that if she can survive this year, her willpower is already very strong.”
s.h.i.+ Jin knew that there were many injuries in this line of work, but she did not expect a 16-year-old girl to have such serious injuries.
“Is there no cure?”
“No. It’s an occupational disease. Don’t you know I have the same occupational disease?”
s.h.i.+ Jin knew that Gu Zehan’s lumbar vertebra and cervical vertebra were not in good condition. She had given him medicine before, but she did not expect the little girl’s condition to be so serious too.
Gu Zehan smiled casually. “However, if she can win the champions.h.i.+p this time, she won’t have wasted her long training. Retiring at this glorious moment can be considered a perfect ending for a figure skating team member.”
‘When s.h.i.+ Jin heard what he said, she knew that in their line of work, they carried the glory of the country. To be able to bring glory to the country was indeed their greatest dream and glory.
Soon, everyone received s.h.i.+ Jin’s photo and autograph and went to prepare for the compet.i.tion.
Seeing that s.h.i.+ Jin was interested in this area, a staff member who was not busy came over to show her around.
“s.h.i.+ Jin, look over here. This is where Senior Brother Gu used to partic.i.p.ate in compet.i.tions. His seat is still considered a lucky spot by everyone. Before he goes on stage, everyone has to take advantage of his luck.”
s.h.i.+ Jin smiled. “Then can I sit for a while?”
“Of course. Do you want to take a photo? I can take a photo for you and your friend.”
The friend beside her, Fu Xiuyuan, readily agreed.
He took off his mask.
‘The male staff was so stunned that his breath caught in his throat. It was not easy for him to finish taking the photo.
He had thought that Gu Zehan was the most attractive person he had ever seen. Until he saw s.h.i.+ Jin, but just when he thought that s.h.i.+ Jin was the peak, he saw Fu Xiuyuan.
Birds of a feather flock together.
s.h.i.+ Jin was looking around when suddenly, someone came in and said a few words. They brought away a team doctor.
s.h.i.+ Jin heard everything clearly from the side. It seemed like the other party was saying that there was something wrong with the team doctor’s visa. Even though the people here argued for it, the team doctor was still taken away.
“F*ck, someone else is playing dirty,” Gu Zehan cursed.
s.h.i.+ Jin did not ask in detail, but she knew in her heart that wherever there was compet.i.tion, there would be darkness. There would definitely be people who would resort to unscrupulous means to make use of everything they could.
Gu Zehan spread out his hands. “This team doctor is Jing Qing’s professional team doctor. Jing Qing is the hot pick for the champions.h.i.+p.”
“Then Jing Qing’s injuries…”
“It shouldn’t be too much of a problem,” Gu Zehan said. “She’s already adjusted to her best condition before coming here.”
s.h.i.+ Jin was relieved.
“Everyone is about to go on stage. s.h.i.+ Jin, let’s go watch the compet.i.tion on stage,” Gu Zehan said as he walked over. “I’ll explain it to you then.”
s.h.i.+ Jin got up and went to the front of the stage with Fu Xiuyuan and Gu Zehan.
The exciting compet.i.tion started very quickly. s.h.i.+ Jin quickly immersed herself in the exciting compet.i.tion and enjoyed the beauty.
Song Yue, who was not far away, had her eyes fixed on s.h.i.+ Jin. She wanted to pry into her secret. Her eyes were filled with venom as she stared at her.
To Song Yue, without s.h.i.+ Jin, she would be a top actress in Hollywood and the first Asian actress to get so many scenes. All the fame that was just around the corner was cut off by s.h.i.+ Jin.
Initially, the casting director and a.s.sistant director had their eyes on her and not s.h.i.+ Jin!
Her friend nudged her. “What are you looking at? Hurry up and watch the compet.i.tion..”
