Chapter 1010: This is a music variety show? Why are the police officers here too!

"Ah! No way? Why refuse the television station's good intentions! The Vice Director has already brought the invitation letter over, and he actually didn't reach out to take it. It shows just how lacking in upbringing and manners Lin Yu is in private."

"Exactly! Refusing the music platform is understandable; there are differences in interests, which one can comprehend. But this is a face-exposure opportunity for major galas! To refuse so decisively—isn't that too willful?"

"I seriously suspect this is a play Lin Yu and the Sujiang Station agreed upon to harvest the audience's attention. This wave of traffic has truly earned them a fortune; a strong alliance, each getting what they need."

"I don't think that's very likely. After all, he is a Vice Director. If they were acting like this, how would he mix in the television station later? Besides, a Vice Director definitely counts as a high-level leader. For such a big leader to show his face to cooperate with this kind of play-acting would likely cause negative impacts on the Sujiang Station, and Lin Yu's personality simply disdains chasing this kind of heat."

"Could it be they have some private grudge? Brother Yu, give us an explanation! Otherwise, it's hard to convince the public. It's not easy for the Chinese music scene to have two songs worth listening to; I really don't want them to die in the cradle and wither away so prematurely!"

"......."

Facing the thunderous sound waves from the audience,

Lin Yu remained unmoved, his expression still as calm as a lake surface.

Other artists might care deeply about the criticism and mockery on the internet or from the live audience.

But for Lin Yu, it was long since a common occurrence, something he was accustomed to; this was how he had walked this path all along.

He would not care at all about the opinions of the onlookers.

Lin Yu knew deep down that no matter how he defended himself, it would be hard to block the mouths of the world's haters.

As for reputation, that is a matter of opinion.

With absolute strength and background,

reputation and public opinion can be easily guided.

Moreover, netizens have very poor memories.

Perhaps in three days, everyone will have forgotten this matter.

The main reason was that Lin Yu did not want to tear his face off and publicly confront this Vice Director on such an occasion.

It wasn't out of fear.

It was because if they started bickering, it would inevitably cause bad influences on Che Ze and many staff members.

They kindly leaked the news to you.

You can't turn around and backstab them, right?

Lin Yu acted based on this principle.

One can be immoral, but one must absolutely not lack a bottom line.

And just at this moment,

a post on Sina Weibo exploded onto the trending list.

【Masked Singer Grand Finals, The Truth Behind the Dark Curtain】

This short essay came from an anonymous staff member of the production team.

Inside, it accused the Sujiang Station's upper leadership of tampering before Lin Yu won the championship.

They deliberately made things difficult and even used coercion and bribery.

They attempted to use their power to force Lin Yu to hand over the copyrights to the original songs he performed on stage.

!!!

Seeing this shocking reversal, the netizens across the web were boiling.

"Damn, so that's how it is. No wonder Lin Yu's expression was a bit cold; sure enough, some unpleasant things happened before."

"Damn it, these upper leaders are too disgusting, trying to suck the blood of contestants on the eve of the finals. Is this still a provincial television station? Truly shameless to the extreme!"

"Didn't it come out before that the dating show 'If You Are the One' was fake, with scripted acting? I feel like none of the upper leaders of this station are good people; they stop at nothing for profit, completely without a bottom line."

"Brother Yu, we support you! We don't care for activities or galas held by this kind of station! Standing on such a stage would dirty our feet."

"......"

And at the scene,

many audience members also saw this trending topic immediately.

The scene exploded instantly.

The crowd that was just denouncing Lin Yu

instantly turned their spears to point directly at the Vice Director on stage.

What's the situation?

Why have they started cursing at me?

Vice Director Qian Duoduo was completely bewildered at this moment.

Weren't they all on my side just now? How did they suddenly defect?

The cursing from the audience grew louder and louder.

Qian Duoduo also understood the ins and outs of the matter and hurriedly waved toward Che Ze's direction, signaling him to come up quickly to save the situation.

At this time, the host was no longer useful.

Someone with significant weight must be brought out to stabilize the scene.

Seeing Director Che being invited onto the stage,

the audience's cursing gradually subsided.

Could there still be a reversal?

"Hello everyone, I am the general director of Masked Singer, Che Ze."

"In view of the news online about the dark curtain in the Masked Singer finals."

"The accusations against station leaders for using private coercion and bribery for profit, pressuring contestants, and maliciously causing trouble."

"From my personal perspective,"

When Che Ze said this, he took a deep breath. After hesitating repeatedly, he still made a decision.

Lin Yu not speaking was to protect himself and the staff from being implicated.

Che Ze and the director team knew this clearly.

But after the matter was exposed, the nature of it changed.

Che Ze could use official language to gloss over it.

But Lin Yu would have to suffer an unprovoked disaster.

Therefore, he had to make a choice!

"The rumors mentioned online,"

"are true and correct."

As the general director of Masked Singer, these two sentences carried extreme weight.

When they heard that the online rumors were not false, the scene was in an uproar; all the audience members were in chaos.

And backstage,

a crowd of staff members were stunned in place.

Everyone had thought Director Che would say a few pretty, slick words to brush it off.

Unexpectedly,

as the general director, he actually didn't even plan to keep his job and future in order to support him. ===== CHAPTER 1011 =====
