Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God

Lin Fan left the apartment, got into the Rolls-Royce parked on the street, changed into casual clothes in the car, and then drove to Wenyue Company.

While driving, Lin Fan returned a call to Wang Xiangqian, inquiring about Ning Xiaoyue's situation. Just now, Wang Xiangqian had mentioned that something happened to Ning Xiaoyue, but Lin Fan couldn't ask in detail with Wei Qingxue present.

Wang Xiangqian told Lin Fan that Ning Xiaoyue had been attacked online.

Unknowingly, the "Creation Star" show had aired its third episode. When the first episode ended, Ning Xiaoyue ranked third in votes, shocking the internet.

Discussion about Ning Xiaoyue was raging online.

Ning Xiaoyue became famous.

A girl from a rural background came to the big city to fight for her dreams. Initially, she did basic jobs, but an occasional opportunity led her to Wenyue Company, where she became a girl group member. Even though her singing and dancing skills were poor, her looks and personality made her shine on the show, transforming her from a grassroots girl to the most popular idol contestant.

On one hand, Ning Xiaoyue gained countless fans; on the other hand, due to her weak singing and dancing skills, many people disliked her and felt she didn't deserve such a high ranking.

Thus, two opposing forces emerged online, one mainly composed of Ning Xiaoyue's fans supporting her, while the other angrily argued against them.

As Lin Fan expected, behind the 99 contestants, each had their own company, and these companies couldn't tolerate Ning Xiaoyue occupying a debut spot. They took turns attacking her for her lack of skill.

A dark tide on the internet gradually formed.

This dark tide flooded the opposing force, and the fans' voices were gradually drowned out, as if the entire world was berating Ning Xiaoyue.

Following the guidance of the internet trolls, netizens increasingly became filled with hostility. It started as criticism but escalated into all sorts of foul and abusive remarks, as if Ning Xiaoyue were an unforgivable villain. They were so furious it seemed they wished to tear Ning Xiaoyue apart.

This dark tide shocked some rational bystanders, who almost thought Ning Xiaoyue had committed murder or arson, only to find out she was just a bit lacking in skills. Was it really necessary to abuse a young girl like this?

Fortunately, Lin Fan instructed Ning Xiaoyue not to go online, so she, being with the show's team, didn't see the rampant abuse, avoiding harm.

If she had seen this terrifying online violence, a young girl would likely find it unbearable.

Ning Xiaoyue didn't collapse, but the people at Wenyue Company were about to. Wang Xiangqian watched these insults online every day, feeling helpless.

Today's third episode was about to air, and Wang Xiangqian could no longer withstand the pressure, so he had to call Lin Fan.

It turned out that this third episode would feature the first elimination round!

With so many people insulting Ning Xiaoyue now, she was very likely to be eliminated.

Elimination meant Ning Xiaoyue would have to leave the show and come back, where she would eventually see the online dark tide, and Wang Xiangqian didn't know how to face Ning Xiaoyue then.

He felt guilty, as a boss who failed to protect Ning Xiaoyue.

Lin Fan frowned. He anticipated that other companies would attack Ning Xiaoyue, but he didn't expect the situation to be this severe. It seemed he had to take action himself.

After all, Wenyue was just an obscure small company, which others didn't take seriously and thought could be bullied at will.

Lin Fan hung up the phone and immediately called Du Tao.

Wenyue Company.

Wang Xiangqian paced back and forth in the office, looking a bit anxious.

The third episode was about to air, and the atmosphere inside the company was a bit tense.

Before participating in this program, Wenyue Company was already on the verge of bankruptcy, with the girl group facing disbandment. Wang Xiangqian decided to make a last-ditch effort, sending four girl group members to join "Creation Star." If anyone could debut, the company could continue to run. If they failed, the company would truly go under.

Lin Fan's 20 million investment in Wenyue Company would also go down the drain.

Wang Xiangqian didn't want to fail, didn't want the company to close down, and didn't want to let down Lin Fan's investment.

However, the overwhelming dark tide online left him lacking confidence.

Suddenly, he heard noise from outside.

Wang Xiangqian hurried out of the office and saw Feng Tianming barging in with people.

Wang Xiangqian said angrily, "Feng Tianming, don't you have your own company? Why do you keep coming to mine every few days?"

Feng Tianming chuckled, "The third episode is about to air. Unexpectedly, Ning Xiaoyue will be eliminated, and the other three even more so. Your company faces total elimination! How could I miss such an exciting moment?"

Wang Xiangqian said, "You're not welcome here, please leave!"

Feng Tianming sat down on the sofa and said, "I'd like to see how you're going to kick me out!"

Feng Tianming brought two hulking guys today; they weren't easy to deal with.

Wang Xiangqian said excitedly, "If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police!"

Wang Xiangqian took out his phone.

"No need to call the police, if Young Master Feng wants to stay, let him stay." A calm voice arrived as Lin Fan walked in.

"Brother Fan!"

Seeing Lin Fan, Wang Xiangqian calmed down a bit.

Feng Tianming laughed, "Still, Millionaire Lin has a broad perspective. Lin Fan, are you ready to face defeat? Have you prepared the 100 million? I'll be collecting soon."

Lin Fan chuckled, "The show hasn't aired yet, and you already know I'll fail? Old Wang, serve Young Master Feng some tea, since he's so interested, let's watch the show together."

Saying that, Lin Fan also sat down on a sofa.

Feng Tianming coldly snorted, "Lin Fan, don't you go online? Have you seen what's being said about Ning Xiaoyue online? Where does your confidence come from?"

Lin Fan said, "Those online insults, I think Young Master Feng contributed a lot, didn't you? It must have cost you."

Feng Tianming said, "Are you implying I spent money to hire trolls to insult Ning Xiaoyue? With Ning Xiaoyue's lack of skill, I don't need to bother. The netizens curse her on their own. Lin Fan, I warn you, don't make baseless accusations, or I'll sue you for defamation."

Lin Fan smiled, "You know what's in your heart."

Feng Tianming sneered inwardly.

After the first episode, learning Ning Xiaoyue ranked third, Feng Tianming indeed decided to snipe at Ning Xiaoyue and spent money to hire trolls to attack her online.

But Ning Xiaoyue was clearly a target for many. Feng Tianming found out that not just he, but other companies were also doing it.

The "Creation Star" show featured contestants performing publicly three times, with eliminations after each performance. The final debut spot was decided in the third grand finale elimination.

The so-called public performance involves open performances for the audience. Contestants have three opportunities to showcase their stage presence and attract fans.

The second episode was the first public performance. In this performance, Ning Xiaoyue's performance was passable, showing she had put in hard work in practice.

But this led to even more intense attacks from other companies, ultimately forming the dark tide.

Once the dark tide formed, even if Ning Xiaoyue suddenly became Michael Jackson, she'd still be beyond saving.

It was like a cruise ship sailing into massive waves, facing nothing but drowning.

The third episode was to announce the first elimination list, and the show's crew maintained the strictest confidentiality, sealing off all information channels. Even with information channels, Feng Tianming didn't know the elimination results.

But Feng Tianming was confident that Ning Xiaoyue would definitely be on the elimination list this time.

No one could survive such a furious dark tide.
