Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1389 The cruel truth
After singing the song "Accompany", Jin Siqi ignored the follow-up schedule and went straight back to the dormitory to pack her luggage.

"Si Qi, are you leaving now? The game is not over yet." At some point, a soft voice came from the door.Jin Siqi turned her head to look, and saw Tao Keyi leaning against the door frame, looking at her inexplicably.

Maybe she came here specially to see the downfall of a loser, but this time she will be disappointed.

"There's no need to wait. I'm definitely going to be eliminated anyway. Instead of waiting for others to drive me away, I might as well just pack up and leave." Jin Siqi's tone was brisk, which was completely different from the state of being anxious for promotion a while ago, "Keyi , the previous agreement still counts? When you get the scene of the female number one, I will go to you to play tricks!"

Tao Keyi frowned, as if she was slightly surprised and dissatisfied because the situation did not unfold as she wished.After a pause for a while, she tentatively asked again: "Are you really not going to stay for a few more days? It will take some time for the instructors to settle the results, maybe a miracle will happen?"

Jin Siqi shook her head and smiled: "I've already planned that after participating in this competition, I will give an account of the training during this period, and then no matter what the result is, I will apply to the program group to withdraw from the competition. This seat should not belong to Mine, I got it by hurting others, and I should give it back to someone who is more entitled to own it."

"It's you," she temporarily stopped arranging her clothes, and looked straight at Tao Keyi, "With your strength, if you compete well, you can still get a good ranking, why do you have to use it to hurt so many people?" way to elevate yourself?"

Tao Keyi blurted out: "Because there can only be one winner! In a large-scale competition, only No.1 is the only winner. Besides, No.2, No.3, everything else They are losers! Are they not strong enough? Are they not working hard enough? Neither! Just because they failed to grab the first place, they can only be eliminated! You will understand this truth one day!"

"No, with your IQ...it's not surprising even if you still can't understand it." Her expression suddenly became a little strange, and a faint mist rose from her eyes that were always covered with fake smiles. "Because you have no strength, so you naively think that everything will be different with strength... This is the sadness of a frog in a well, no, it is also a kind of luck..."

With a wry smile for a moment, she turned around and closed the door, took out the jade slip and pressed it a few times to bring up an encyclopedia interface, and then pushed the screen in front of Jin Siqi.

"Before participating in this competition, I have been in this hundred-member girl group for several years. But, whether you or others, have you heard of my name in this girl group? Even if I specially now I told you, let you look at this group photo again, can you find where I am again?"

Jin Siqi looked at the encyclopedia profile in front of her.It is indeed one of the most popular women's teams in contemporary times, and anyone who pays a little attention to entertainment news will have heard of it.But who is who in the team... Except for a very few who are more famous and have the best development, she has never even heard the names of other people.

Looking at the group photo in the entry directory, a group of girls of similar age and figure were mixed together, wearing the exact same team uniforms, which made their appearances lose their original recognition.Not to mention finding Tao Keyi, she couldn't even tell the difference in the looks of these people!Face blindness is about to be committed!
"Sure enough..." Tao Keyi observed her expression, and finally sneered after a while, "Can't you find it? Yes, let alone you, sometimes even I can't find it..."

"You think that I am going smoothly in this competition, and everything is easy, but you don't know, my starting point is more difficult than you! My family has always opposed me going this way. After all, I am an inferior person, they hope that I can find a decent job, ordinary but down-to-earth, so that they can introduce me to the neighbors with their heads up high... But, that is not what I want!"

"For this matter, I don't know how many conflicts I had with them! Finally, they agreed to give in and let me participate in a trainee event of a big company... But they said, unless I can get No. .1, to prove that I have the strength to take this path, otherwise, I have to give up my dream and honestly do the job they arranged for me!"

"At that time, naively, I really thought that this would be an opportunity to seize my fate... So, even if there were tens of thousands of competitors in the same period, I was never timid, because I believed that I was capable!"

"Do you think I haven't worked hard? During that time, all of us were crowded into dormitories that were much simpler than now. No one recorded programs for you, and there was no Internet to hype you. The only sweat we shed was ourselves Only then can I see it!"

"In order to get No.1, I got up early and worked hard every day, practiced hard, and worked hard. I have a problem at a young age! Fortunately, every time I practice with the team, I can confirm that I am very good in the team. This makes me feel that my efforts are worthwhile, and in today's words, it is 'the future can be expected'."

"After one game after another, I finally made my debut as a trainee, was selected as a member of the women's team, and signed a contract with the company... I remember that Feng Yin took the same path back then, right? , it’s just that she never had the chance to sign a contract to make her debut, so she has been delayed for so many years in the position of trainee. Then, it seems that my luck is better than hers. However, each is just sad in its own way.”

"In the beginning, although a few key promotion matches made me aware that there was a shady scene... the few people who got good rankings were not as good as me in dancing! But at that time, I didn't think much about it. I thought that since I was successful As a member of the girl group, sooner or later I will be able to let everyone remember me with my strength!"

"And what is the result? Except for the few girls who got the rankings, who can get the company's praise... the rest of us have become tools made on the same assembly line! We wear the same training clothes, With the same hairstyle, without any personal characteristics, even if we form a group to perform, we only have the meaning of the background board!"

"Just because everyone knows it's unfair... Rumors have gradually started to spread in the team. It is said that those girls are either relatives of the sponsor, or there is a financial backer behind them, or there is a mine at home, and they have nothing to do. Every exception has a background, and the rankings of all competitions have long been predetermined, and the rest of us are just responsible for accompanying the runners! Responsible for handing over the winner's laurels to others!"

"For the sake of superficial fairness, the women's team still holds some competitions from time to time, saying that it is to encourage everyone to train hard, let them work hard, and let them slack off...Only when you climb to the top, can you have the opportunity to show your face in front of the public I'm the stupidest, I still didn't give up and went to the competition, but I was slapped a series of times by reality!"

"What kind of trainee mode, what kind of promotion competition, it's just a formality... The decision-making power is completely in the hands of the organizers, whoever they want to advance can advance. They put the people they want to promote into this competition , and then let them get a good ranking and be plated with gold. After gaining initial fame, they can make their debut and make money... Heh, that's when I realized that the classes in this world have been fixed a long time ago, delusional The biggest fool is the one who turns over only through 'effort'!"

"The company just wants to build a brand that is loud enough to bring all of us together to form a brand and make our strengths work for him... But what about the personal development of our members? What about our way out? They never think about it. Passed!"

"I went to the program group...I went to protest. The staff even told me that they only train people with commercial value...If I can make myself popular, they can make the company's resources tilt towards me... But they don’t give me much praise, how can I fire myself? Isn’t this a joke?”

"What's worse is that we signed a long-term contract with the company...during the contract period, we are not allowed to participate in other competitions at will, nor can we quit the team, otherwise we will breach the contract and need to pay a large amount of liquidated damages. How can we have this kind of compensation? So we can only obey the arrangement of the team honestly... Even if we were treated at that time, it is no different from being hidden by the snow!"

"Can you imagine how desperate I was at that time? According to the contract, I have to stay in the girl group at least until I am 30 years old... 30 years old, the best age for a girl has passed! What future is there? When we first signed the contract, we thought we had obtained a long-term guarantee, but who knew we had signed a contract of selling ourselves! The names we signed with our own hands are enough to completely destroy our dreams!"

Listening to her almost crazy narration, Jin Siqi was also secretly surprised.Unexpectedly, Tao Keyi, whom she regards as a "winner in life", has such a dark past.

"Then...how did you deal with it later?" Although she knew that Tao Keyi's participation in this competition must have successfully terminated the contract with the original company, but listening to her narration, she felt the same way, and Jin Siqi also followed her. Anxiety about fate.

"Later..." Tao Keyi repeated the word with a wry smile, and her body trembled uncontrollably, "Later... I met a godfather at a business banquet, and everything that should have happened happened. Then , he helped me settle the liquidated damages, so that I can finally regain my freedom..."

"That was the first time I knew that money can come so easily, and that problems that seemed extremely difficult to me in the past can be solved in this way... It turns out that this is the feeling of having a money owner..."

Speaking of this, her eye sockets were faintly red, she took a deep breath and looked away, trying her best to hold back the tears.

"When I was young, I didn't like my face. People always said that I looked too beautiful, and I was not the type to endure hardship... I also hate that sometimes when I walk on the street, I always get lewd eyes. I looked at it...but that day, I was suddenly glad that I had this face. It can help me get what I want..."

"When I finally flew solo as I wished, I knew that those partners who worked hard and complained with me in the past didn't have a pretty enough face, so they could only continue to hang out in the girl group and continue to be contracted. Restraining, delaying my youth... However, I have no contact with them, and I also know how they talk about me behind their backs. I have also become a person with financial backers, and I have become the kind of person we used to hate the most .”

For a moment, Jin Siqi was speechless.

When browsing the forum, she did see a post by Papi Tao Keyi, which mentioned this "godfather meme".She didn't take it seriously at the time, but now it seems... Sure enough, there is nothing going on in the circle, it's all pure speculation.I'm afraid this secret was revealed anonymously by those girl group members who were jealous of her in the past.

"Are you looking down on me too?" Tao Keyi noticed the change in Jin Siqi's eyes sensitively, "Then I would like to ask you, if you were in my original position, what would you do? Do you accept your fate?" ? Are you willing to be a pawn for the girl group, or are you still working hard and making progress, pretending that hard work will really be useful?"

"After experiencing the previous lessons, I have learned to be smart. I know that what these entertainment companies value is only the popularity of artists, and it can help them earn enough money! So when I participated in the competition this time, I grabbed it. Every opportunity to make a name for myself. I danced that dance with you, and I asked my godfather to help me buy a trending search, so that I can directly enter the public eye. And the subsequent MV cameo, all... you think I got the popularity by luck, but in fact, I have never left behind the promotion of capital!"

"You actually bought all the hot searches in the early stage by yourself?" Jin Siqi was quite surprised, "I don't even know! I... thought you were just relying on your own hype to...?"

"You don't know! There are so many things you don't know!" Tao Keyi sneered, "Do you think the hot search is so easy to get on? There are thousands of people hyping it, why is it that I am on the hot search? The show just started At the beginning, everyone was so transparent, do you think the audience is so interested and will care about the past one by one? So I say you are really stupid!"

"The dance, comments, forwarding, and trending searches at the beginning were all bought! It just created an illusion of 'just becoming popular'! You still believe that the fashion industry can be completely separated from the operation of capital. Can strength or luck make you stand out? Every person you see who 'just became popular' is someone behind the scenes who threw money at them!"
