Chapter 680: 670 Global Idol: Debut from the Central Position! (5) Updated 2

Ye Shaohua, waiting in her changed outfit to return to the stage, was reminded of a memory when she saw that surname.

Originally, the real Ye Shaohua and her mother were just ordinary salaried workers, and with her biological father passing away early, the family had always been strapped for cash. Ye’s mother felt that she was nothing but a burden and barely took care of her, so before this, the original Shaohua had been very self-conscious and even somewhat world-weary.

That all changed with an actor named Peng Zhe and a movie titled "Light", back when Peng Zhe was still a newcomer.

When she was studying performance, her mother didn’t support her at all, but the original Ye Shaohua was very stubborn and didn’t ask her mother for a penny for her university tuition and living expenses.

It was for Peng Zhe that she entered the Entertainment Circle.

She wanted to be closer to Peng Zhe.

During the darkest days, Peng Zhe was the light in her heart.

Two months ago, Best Actor Peng Zhe, known for his outstanding acting, became her step-brother.

That’s right, the real Ye Shaohua’s mother had married Peng Zhe’s father a few months prior, instantly transforming into a wealthy lady.

To secure her position, her mother urged Ye Shaohua to work hard to gain Peng Zhe’s recognition. Knowing that Ye Shaohua and Peng Zhe were both at Chenyuan Media, her mother even persuaded Peng Zhe’s father to let the real Ye Shaohua live at Peng Zhe’s place temporarily using the excuse that she had no place to stay.

Naturally, the original Shaohua, who was harboring a crush on Peng Zhe, didn’t refuse and was beyond excited.

Peng Zhe’s Agent, who was fed up with the eager original Ye Shaohua’s advances, always thought that she was just looking for an opportunity to ride on Peng Zhe’s coattails.

Although Peng Zhe didn’t say anything, he spent a lot less time at that residence.

He basically went to his other residences, and it was considered good if he returned twice a month. While he never said it out loud, he never acknowledged the real Ye Shaohua as his stepsister and ignored her whenever they ran into each other at the company.

Even though he left his phone number out of respect for his father, he never called.

The fact that he had called three times now must mean there was some sort of emergency.

Thinking this, Ye Shaohua returned his call.

The call was answered by Peng Zhe’s Agent. "Be careful of the paparazzi when you come back tonight."

Peng Zhe’s Agent sounded very indifferent when speaking.

In fact, the number Peng Zhe gave the real Ye Shaohua was just his work number, which was always managed by his agent. He had another private number that the real Ye Shaohua didn’t know about—she had always thought this was Peng Zhe’s personal number.

"Mhm," Ye Shaohua responded nonchalantly.

Then she hung up the call.

The Agent on this end was a bit surprised by Ye Shaohua’s reaction, as she didn’t pursue Peng Zhe’s whereabouts like she used to, but he didn’t give it much thought.

As far as he was concerned, if Peng Zhe could get rid of this nuisance, he would set off firecrackers to celebrate.

However, upon turning around and seeing the closed door of the room next to Peng Zhe’s, he frowned.

Ye Shaohua didn’t know what Peng Zhe’s Agent was thinking.

After hanging up the phone, she headed for the stage.

Sister Wang was beaming with joy, "Shaohua, you can be assured, even if you’re ranked after Gu Han this time, you’ll certainly secure five million votes!"

The Assistant nodded furiously in agreement.

Five million?

Ye Shaohua looked at her steadily, chuckled softly, and said, "Let’s hope your prophecy comes true."

The live broadcast stage.

Ye Shaohua returned to the stage where both Hosts had also come out, and announced for the first four contestants to come out. Once all five contestants were ready, they waited for the online votes.

Compared to the beginning, the Hosts were treating Ye Shaohua with a friendliness many times greater.

Gu Han didn’t see Ye Shaohua’s performance, but had heard bits of her singing backstage.

She had to admit, Ye Shaohua’s singing technique and range felt threatening.

Now onstage, she clearly saw that nearly all the audience members had stood up and were even chanting Ye Shaohua’s name.

Even the Host from Chenyuan Media was talking to Ye Shaohua, and she could clearly feel that the cameras were all focused on Ye Shaohua.

For the first time, Gu Han felt uneasy, the faint sense of superiority that she had initially displayed now gone, replaced by an unprecedented pressure and a touch of fear.

No, it couldn’t be, her popularity was double that of the second-place contestant.

She refused to believe that a newcomer from the performance department, someone who had only a few million votes before, could surpass her on the stage.

"The five-minute voting period has ended, now let’s look at the big screen," the Host turned sideways towards the big screen, "the votes for all five contestants will be displayed on the big screen at once."

"Swoosh—"

All eyes were fixed on the big screen.

From eleventh to fifteenth place.

A total of five contestants.

The ten thousand audience members present each had a voting device.

But these were only a small part of the votes.

The real numbers were in the hands of the live stream viewers.

Everyone was watching the numbers on the big screen, even Gu Han maintained a smile, gripping her left hand as she stared unblinkingly at the big screen.

The first to appear was the eleventh-place contestant’s votes, 1,895,741.

The twelfth place, 2,745,875 votes.

The thirteenth place, 2,421,563 votes.

The votes were concentrated and it was almost her turn, Gu Han’s fingers were clenching tightly.

The Host teased the audience enough, then the big screen slowly began to reveal Gu Han’s vote count.

10,512,428 votes!

A ten-million vote count created a stark divide!

Before this, the highest vote count among the top ten contestants was just over six million.

Seeing this number, Gu Han clearly relaxed.

Next came the highly anticipated votes for Ye Shaohua. Gu Han knew the show’s traffic; with over ten million votes plus the other contestants’ votes, there wouldn’t be many left for Ye Shaohua.

The first number that appeared for Ye Shaohua was a 2.

When Gu Han saw the number, she visibly relaxed, the smile on her face deepening. She took a deep breath, thinking thankfully...

The audience was also startled by the number.

Luo Yu, waving her light sign, stopped in her tracks, "How is this possible?! The voting machine must be broken..."

But before she could finish her sentence, the full vote count for Ye Shaohua was displayed on the big screen.

The Director laughed as he watched the rapidly growing audience numbers backstage.

It must have been a deliberate setup by the show’s producers. Ye Shaohua’s scores appeared much slower than the other contestants, but in the end, her final score appeared on the big screen.

28,251,207 votes!

Holy shit!

Jackpot!
