Xiao Ke covered her mouth in shock, "Oh my god! This is so exciting, she's only 10,000 votes ahead of Yan Zhirou in second place!"

Last time, Yu Qianxia was in fourth place, but this time, she jumped straight to first.

The gap between Yu Qianxia and Yan Zhirou's votes kept shrinking, almost impossible to distinguish, as the page continued to refresh.

Sister Rong and Xiao Ke couldn't hold back, hugging each other and excitedly watching the screen, "Oh my god! Don't let her overtake!"

"Let my Xia Xia take first place!"

With their constant cheers, the voting finally closed.

Sister Rong and Xiao Ke were so tense they could barely breathe, but the next second, they let out a huge sigh of relief and jumped up in excitement.

"Yay! We're first!"

Yu Qianxia curved her lips in a faint smile, a trace of joy at the corners of her eyes.

Late that night, at the Yu family villa in Jing City.

Yan Zhirou refreshingly checked the page, but no matter how many times she refreshed it, the voting results didn't change.

Yu Qianxia's profile picture now wore the golden crown of a victor.

That was supposed to be her first place!

Just 10,000 votes, only 10,000 votes away!

Yan Zhirou felt like her chest was blocked, her frustration unrelenting.

Why was it that when Yu Qianxia appeared on the show, she wasn't torn apart by online criticism? Instead, her popularity skyrocketed? How could this happen?

What went wrong? Yan Zhirou couldn't make sense of it.

At that moment, someone knocked on her door. Yan Zhirou quickly composed herself and said, "Come in."

Yan Yanhua pushed the door open and walked in, holding her daughter's hand. She carefully studied her daughter's complexion and noticed how tan she had gotten from the sun. She felt a pang of sympathy and said, "You've lost weight..."

Yan Zhirou let out a sigh. "I'm fine. I'm a bit tired, but for the future, I can handle this little hardship."

Yan Yanhua felt both comforted and pained. She quickly took two heavy boxes of valuable jewelry from her bag and handed them to her daughter. "Take these with you. In this entertainment industry, if you don't have connections or background, you'll have to spend money to get by."

Yan Zhirou lowered her eyes and asked, "Won't Dad find out?"

Yan Yanhua shook her head. "No, these are my personal collection. Your dad doesn't know. If you take them and sell them, no one will know."

Hearing this, Yan Zhirou felt reassured and accepted the jewelry.

Yan Yanhua let out a quiet sigh. There wasn't much she could do to help Yan Zhirou. She spent her days as a rich lady in the mansion, her abilities limited. She had tried to enter the capital circle, but unfortunately, she had never been able to break in. All she could do now was help her daughter in this way.

The voting closed.

The final results were in, and Ruan Zhiyu's popularity had taken a significant dive. Compared to the glorious start when she joined the program, she had almost become a stray dog now. Even though she didn't quit the program, her popularity had plummeted to the bottom, and she was mercilessly eliminated.

Third and fourth place were Si Churou and Ji Minghan, with the vote counts being close.

Fifth place was Song Mubai.

After the voting closed, the production team suddenly announced that he had also voluntarily withdrawn.

Many netizens speculated that Song Mubai's reason for leaving the program was likely due to being emotionally hurt. Continuing on the show had no meaning for him anymore. His exit left many people feeling regretful.

With Ruan Zhiyu eliminated and Song Mubai gone, the program now had two available spots.

The popularity rankings were still as competitive as ever.

Yu Qianxia saw that the current top spot was occupied by Lu Jianchen, which meant he wasn't giving up. He had spent a lot of money to buy those votes, and if all went well, he should make it back onto the show next episode.

Yu Qianxia looked through the data and then exited the Pineapple Video app.

At that moment, a WeChat message popped up at the top of the screen.

Si Churou: [Congratulations on first place!]

Yu Qianxia smiled slightly: [Thank you, and congratulations to you for advancing.]

Si Churou: [By the way, I was going to leave the group directly, but now I see you might need this, so I decided to give you the account!]

Yu Qianxia: [?]

Si Churou: [You know, the black fan account I have... ahem.]

Yu Qianxia's eyes widened in understanding: [You plan to give me your black fan account?]

Si Churou: [Yes! It should be useful to you. When you have time, you can keep an eye on it. If any black material comes up, your team can control the narrative...]

A warm feeling spread in Yu Qianxia's heart: [Thank you, Churou.]

The simple words couldn't fully express her gratitude, so she sent a "hug" emoji.

Si Churou blushed slightly, a bit overwhelmed by Yu Qianxia's sudden warmth: [Ahem, no need to thank me. We're friends. This is what I should do.]

Yu Qianxia grinned: [Next time, I'll treat you to a meal.]

Si Churou sent an "OK" emoji and then shared the login account and password.

There were two accounts: one for Weibo and another for a private social account.

Yu Qianxia received them and added them to her login list.

She first logged into Weibo, where there were many private messages. Most of them were from other black fans asking people to stir up topics, give heat, and start online battles.

Yu Qianxia clicked on the topics and found her three pieces of black material:

#Yu Qianxia using gossip accounts to gain followers#
#Yu Qianxia gained popularity through cheating with her gossip account#
#Yu Qianxia's first place in popularity is unfair#

Yu Qianxia raised an eyebrow, seeing that these three topics had already dropped to the bottom of the trending searches.

She then logged into the social account, where there were three black fan groups, all managed by a group leader named "Dried Tangerine Peel and Plum Candy."

Dried Tangerine Peel and Plum Candy: [Everyone, go to Weibo and flood the comments, likes, and shares! Let more people see the behavior of this rotten fish!]

Yu Qianxia was seeing for the first time that black fans referred to her like this—rotten fish?

Yu Qianxia watched as the group messages flooded the screen.

Dried Tangerine Peel and Plum Candy: [Alright, we're going now!]
