Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 51

Ch51 - Girlfriend’s Cat
After the second episode of ‘Birth of an Idol’ had aired, Lu Xu had unsurprisingly made the hot search due to reaching A-rank twice.

The other trainees had relied on their own fanbases and naturally had quite some attention, but if one were to really discuss it, Lan Gaojie was this episode’s biggest dark horse.

The first time Lan Gaojie appeared in the public’s eyes was because of the popularity voting. At that time, no one had taken notice of this person. Their reaction to his rush to first place was that he was cheating votes.

Before the second episode had aired, searching his name would automatically bring up results such as ‘Lan Gaojie swiping votes’, ‘Who is Lan Gaojie’, ‘Lan Gaojie cheating’, etc. His reputation was clearly not very good.

But after watching his second evaluation, many netizens changed their views of him—

[@Open Prairie Wild Wolf: I can be considered a previous black fan; at that time, I only thought that Lan Gaojie looked very average and boring, without any special features. Getting first in the votes was really unexpected. But after watching his performance, I suddenly realised that these abilities and stage performance skills are really too amazing. I even want to vote for him]

[@That Head of Lettuce: To be honest, you can’t speak of Lan Gaojie as a nobody. He participated in BTT’s selection training and trained with Song Zhe and the others’ company for two years. He should have abilities]

[@Flowers Bloom On The Other Shore: No way, if Lan Gaojie’s abilities are this strong how come he didn’t make it into BTT?! I feel like he dances even better than the BTT members. Was there something underhanded going on back then that barred him from joining the group?]

[@Lan Family’s Little Cutie: Some things are better left unsaid, as long as people understand it. This world is oftentimes just that unfair. Good thing gold will still shine through. Although he went around in a circle, our treasured Jie is back on track with the others. There’s no need for everyone to cling to the past. As long as you focus on your own family and give some more encouragement to our treasure Jie, then it’s fine!]

…

“What the hell!” After Han Tianyu washed his face and applied a mask, he scrolled through his phone and saw Lan Gaojie’s fans talking badly about BTT. He sprung up from his chair. “What underhanded? What unfair? It was obvious his abilities weren’t good enough at that time that he couldn’t even complete the basic courses, so the company didn’t renew his contract.”

Xu Haoming was also angry. “Right, they make it seem like we bullied him. Haven’t they gotten it wrong? If we had such a strong background then we’d directly debut as solo artists. What’s the point of forming a little group, and getting wrongful blame for it?”

“That’s enough. It’s true that he improved. If you don’t want to be used as a comparison, then we just have to work harder and use our own abilities to talk, right?” As the captain, Song Zhe had always been a stabilising existence, but every time he saw the hot search, his mood wasn’t very good either.

Furthermore, up until today, he had been a close second behind Lu Xu, suppressing Lan Gaojie by quite a bit.

But Lan Gaojie’s fans had cried out that there were black dealings going on, making even Song Zhe want to roll his eyes.

The only person who remained calm in the entire dorm was Lu Xu. A professional grim reaper didn’t care about anything other than his own work.

The more Xu Haoming looked at Weibo, the angrier he became. Finally, he decided he might as well put his phone aside. “Xu ge, you have to help us push him down. The outside world thinks he’s a pitiful little cabbage, but you’ve seen how two-faced he is towards us!”
