After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 336: Planning to Send You an Avalanche

The host looked towards the judges’ seats and raised his hand, "Let’s invite our judges."

Li Wanxuan stood up and made a gesture inviting her teacher first.

Zhang Nachuan took the lead, turning on his microphone while casually chatting with his student, "Which one do you think is the best?"

Li Wanxuan couldn’t help but laugh as soon as she heard it, "Teacher, are you pretending to ask the obvious question!"

"Hahaha!"

The audience below only heard a burst of hearty laughter: "..."

They could only tell that Old Master Zhang was very happy, though they weren’t sure which piece of work amused him so much.

Although Xu Qingi still harbored so resentnt over Shen Yunqing addressing her as ’Ms. Xu’, upon seeing him stand up, she couldn’t help but quicken her pace to keep up. After discreetly turning off her microphone, she whispered, "Mr. Shen won’t intentionally favor soone because they’re an acquaintance, right?"

She purposely asked this to make Shen Yunqing take heed!

Isn’t it about having good relations? Here, it becos a weakness!

Shen Yunqing initially didn’t want to respond to her, but upon hearing her words, his eyes turned cold. "I’ll return the sa question to Ms. Xu."

Xu Qingi looked puzzled, "What?"

"Aren’t there acquaintances of Ms. Xu’s on stage too?"

Xu Qingi was taken aback at first, then regained her composure only to find a pair of mocking, knowing eyes looking at her, and her face instantly turned pale.

"You nonsense..."

Before she could utter her denial, the person in front of her had already turned decisively and walked towards the stage.

By the ti Xu Qingi composed herself, she was already the last one.

Whether intentional or not, she stood in the spot farthest away from Jing Huai.

But when she looked up, she saw that the screen in front of her showed Jiang Lingxi’s work, and her face couldn’t help but twist slightly.

Even though she didn’t understand painting, she had to admit, this painting... It was so pleasing that it made her feel completely uncomfortable!

The host, like a persistent specter, said, "Then, following the previous order of the judges’ circuit, let’s proceed to comnt on the guests’ paintings one by one!"

Watching as the microphone was handed to her, Xu Qingi forced a smile and reached out to take it.

"The first piece is by Jiang Lingxi, titled ’Mountain and River Map’."

Shen Yunqing: Your Majesty’s naming skills are apparently confird as terrible!

Xu Qingi assud an attitude of serious appreciation, forcing herself to look at the painting before her. As she looked, uncontrollable irritation rose in her heart, "Cough, to be honest, I don’t think this painting is that great..."

Initially, Xu Qingi was surprised that she actually spoke the disparaging thoughts out loud that she had kept to herself. But once she started, she couldn’t stop and gradually lost all sense of restraint.

She failed to notice that the stage, as well as the audience, had beco completely silent at so point, and the host next to her was giving her a stop-it look.

Zhang Nachuan and Li Wanxuan maintained expressionless faces, and Shen Yunqing’s gaze towards Xu Qingi made Shen Huchen, who inadvertently caught it, shiver. anwhile, everyone else, including the guests on stage, looked bewildered.

Was this appraisal really on Jiang Lingxi’s painting?

Jing Huai felt the strongest about it, sincerely thinking that Xu Qingi might have gone mad!

He had never seen anyone as hypocritical as Xu Qingi.

The more ruthless she was in private, the more righteous she appeared on the surface.

When they were on good terms earlier, he personally heard Xu Qingi instruct an assistant to ’sell’ an actor from the crew who accidentally offended her, at a high price. Then she could feign friendliness by calling the actor her "little sister" in her own account comnts.

As much as he disliked Jiang Lingxi, he thought that this person would only say a few stock phrases. Who would have thought she suddenly unleashed such a stream of consciousness without a single pause?

Had her intelligence suddenly dropped?

Yet, the incredulous gazes of the crowd did nothing to hinder Xu Qingi’s unrestrained remarks. When she finally finished her critique and turned to et the various gazes from the others, she stopped holding the microphone, "Why are you all looking at ?"

The crowd: "..."

Don’t you know why we’re looking at you?

Jing Huai was already so drained he didn’t want to say anything. Now he genuinely suspected that before Xu Qingi critiqued Jiang Lingxi’s painting, she might have consud so truth serum or sothing like that.

The host barely managed a smile, "Now, let’s have Teacher Xu comnt on the second painting."

Speaking these words, even she felt anxious inside, fearing that, like before, this person would unleash another unrestrained barrage.

Fortunately, although the subsequent critique didn’t include anything substantially useful, it was at least praise.

By the ti they got to the second, third pieces... it was apparent to everyone present that Xu Qingi had singled out Jiang Lingxi.

Could it be that Jiang Lingxi had earlier left her embarrassed, and this was retaliation?

But taking out retaliation on critiquing a work seems a bit petty, doesn’t it?

Many couldn’t help directing their gaze toward Jiang Lingxi.

Seeing her calmly standing on stage, even with a slight smile, they couldn’t help but admire her.

If it were them, having their painstakingly created work publicly criticized as worthless, they couldn’t possibly be so composed, perhaps they would’ve snatched the mic back and retorted before the critique was even finished.

"I rember the internet always claid Jiang Lingxi had a bad temper. If this is considered bad, then with my inability to tolerate mindless criticism, am I just a bundle of rage?"

"I also believed those things said online about her before, making misunderstand Miss Jiang for so long. Curse those dishonest netizens for leading astray!"

"Facts tell us that rumors aren’t always trustworthy."

"I have to say, my image of Actress Xu has shattered a bit!"

"Hey, true that. I never thought Actress Xu would critique like this!"

"By the way, those online saying Actress Xu is approachable...could they all be a carefully crafted PR script?"

"Hiss, that’s not impossible, deeply unsettling!"

...

Jiang Lingxi felt a warm touch on her hand and looked down to see two hands holding hers, one slightly calloused, the other white and tender.

Looking up, she t Su Yi and Qian Yaya’s eyes, which were mixed with comfort and so worry, making her chuckle inwardly.

Although Xu Qingi’s tirade earlier was sowhat unexpected, it wasn’t entirely a surprise to her.

No matter how well this person put on an act, Jiang Lingxi saw it clearly the first ti she t Xu Qingi, that she wasn’t a person with a good temperant.

She had previously humiliated Xu Qingi on stage, and after another two hours, Xu Qingi was still simring without finding a way to vent.

Everyone knows that anger accumulates.

Upon seeing her artwork, it may have just hit the threshold.

She was unaware that when they went on stage, Shen Yunqing had also riled up Xu Qingi.

With these two factors combined, that burst of emotion just rushed to her head!

Jiang Lingxi gently shook her head towards the two, indicating she was fine.

Such critiques, rely venting anger, did not offend her. On the contrary, she was quite pleased with Xu Qingi’s performance just now.

To self-sabotage so publicly, she was glad to witness it.

As she had once co across a saying recently: during an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

No matter how vast the fan base is, the seeds of collapse have already been sown!
