Chapter 425: Whacked In The Face On Awards Day

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Che fiddled with her phone and said, “Not really. I learn wherever I go.”
Qin Wanwan saw that Lin Che didn’t really pay attention to her, so she went back to her bed. Looking at Lin Che, she thought resentfully, You’re still pretending to be so calm at this time. I’ll see how far you can go with that.
The next day.
Qin Wanwan set out to attend the ceremony and specially asked for a day off.
Her red dress looked extremely outstanding in front of the cameras.
Qin Wanwan released news about Lin Che drugging her when it was so close to the awards period. It instantly made her name more known. Her clear victim image also gained her a lot of sympathy votes. Thus, this also invited a lot of attention.
Reporters immediately swarmed around. They looked at Qin Wanwan and asked, “Do you feel confident about the award tonight?”
Qin Wanwan said, “I never was, but I’ll definitely be surprised if I do get it.”
“What do you think about Lin Che dropping out of the awards?”
Qin Wanwan replied, “I think that it’s a pity.”
“Why did she suddenly drop out? Did you guys really have an agreement?”
Qin Wanwan said, “Well, I’m not sure actually. She didn’t tell me beforehand even though we’re staying in the same room now. But she isn’t in a good mood now and she doesn’t seem to want to talk to anyone, so I didn’t disturb her either and ask these loaded questions. Anyway, I was also very shocked when I saw the news.”
This clearly meant that the backing out was indeed ridiculous and misleading. If there was no other reason to back out, wasn’t it because of Qin Wanwan’s matter then? Furthermore, Qin Wanwan also said that although they were sharing a room, Lin Che was already ignoring her now.
This hinted that Lin Che was really not gracious; she was still angry even though she was in the wrong.
The reporters asked again, “What about the drugging case? Was it true?”
Qin Wanwan said, “Well, I don’t know either. I’ve already passed this case on to the police and my company to handle. I have been busy studying recently and haven’t had the time to bother about this.”
“Then, is the agreement true or not?”
“My manager did look up her manager to talk about the case, but I’m not sure about any concrete agreement. It was not long after their talk that she basically dropped out of the selection for the awards,” Qin Wanwan said.
Everybody heard this and the lights flashed more furiously. They shoved their microphones toward her, thinking that the message in her words was all too clear. This was silent admittance. Lin Che backed out of the selection because that was an agreement.
After that, Qin Wanwan’s manager came to block the reporters off, telling them to back off and stop squeezing.
“Since she dropped out, just leave it as that. It has nothing to do with us. Her ranking for the award already dropped, to begin with. Don’t push it onto us, please. She couldn’t necessarily attend the awards.”
This speech was so direct that the media was stunned.
The media was naturally ecstatic as they realized that this was not a wasted trip today. They had things to write about when they headed back.
But at this moment, heavy news was suddenly published by a media company.
The list of nominees for the Gold Medal Award was announced today.
Lin Che successfully entered the list of nominees with her upcoming movie. She qualified for Best Female Lead.
The entire floor was stunned.
“Lin Che qualified for the Gold Medal Award?”
“No way! Lin Che got in?”
“How can that be?”
“The news just came out. Why are you guys still here filming the awards? Did you forget that today was the Gold Medal Award’s nominees list announcement?”
The reporters mumbled, “Everyone said that Lin Che dropped out of the awards because of her ranking… But she went to take part in the Gold Medal Award. She probably wouldn’t bother about some grand award.”
“Exactly. If she wins the Gold Medal Award, she’ll become the queen of movies. In comparison to the Gold Medal Award, the grand award is nothing. Who cares about it?”
“Of course you’d want the Gold Medal Award. The grand award is just for fun while the yearly winners for the Gold Medal Award go down in history. They can’t be the same.”
On stage, Qin Wanwan’s expression was awkward. Her manager was also at a loss.
Lin Che qualified for the Gold Medal Award?
How come nobody told them about this?
This Yu Minmin… She hid it way too well.
Immediately, nobody bothered about Qin Wanwan and today’s grand award again.
They already began thinking of their write-up. Lin Che was silent in the past few days. In addition, the rumor that she backed out of the awards was because she was afraid of being embarrassed due to her drop in rankings. It was now known that she backed out because she wanted to participate in the selection for the Gold Medal Award. She was busy preparing for the selections and that was why she didn’t participate in the grand award.
This piece of news instantly blanketed the entire entertainment circle. Everyone saw Lin Che’s sudden nomination and also tried to look for Lin Che.
However, Lin Che remained unseen. She only posted on Weibo that she was continuing her studies in school. She thanked the Gold Medal Award jury for believing in her and she was very surprised. Whether she was going to win the award or not, she was already very satisfied today.
Meanwhile, Lin Che’s official blog posted a message that made the situation turn around even more.
The blog said:
Regarding the reports over the past few days that claimed that Lin Che poisoned Miss Qin Wanwan using illegal drugs, this blog dived deep into the matter. It was discovered that the said drug can only cause changes to the skin if more than 300ml of it was consumed at one time. However, if the drug is not continually consumed, the skin will return to normal and there will be no permanent damage. This also means that the few millimeters found could never be strong enough to affect Miss Qin’s skin and it would not disfigure her. This is because if the drug is consumed in too little a quantity, diarrhea will occur very quickly. It can never induce symptoms such as vomiting, convulsions, and more. Neither can it induce any other responses. Thus, we have reason to believe that Miss Qin’s vomiting and convulsions that day could have been due to other medicines and not this type. Moving forward, we hope that Miss Qin’s manager can investigate this matter properly and look into all the people close to Miss Qin. Otherwise, someone else might drug Miss Qin, causing her to vomit and convulse even though she only had a minor cold that day.
In any case, Lin Che has absolutely no reason to use that tiny amount of drug to tarnish her own reputation. As for why her reputation could suddenly be tarnished, we will continue to investigate. Regarding the shady media reports that caused our company’s Lin Che to be misunderstood and insulted, we will be filing a lawsuit against all those responsible and will seek justice for Lin Che.
The Internet went crazy again.
Some said, “This is a huge smack in Qin Wanwan’s face this time. Framed? More like self-orchestrated.”
“It was even said that Lin Che dropped out of the awards. It was clearly because she didn’t care about the awards.”
“Let Qin Wanwan go for the awards. I think this award is also really useless. I’m not going to watch it anyway.”
