Chapter 146

About ten minutes later, the car pulled up under the TV station building.

Eileen hopped out of the car silently.

She turned around and made her way back to the TV station, took the elevator up. Inside, she bumped

into two of the staff.

They greeted her and she responded in kind.

After a while, they suddenly asked her, “Ms. Lopez, you seem in a good mood.”

Eileen was taken aback and looked at them.

The two staff members chuckled, pointing to the elevator mirror, saying, “You’ve been grinning like a

Cheshire cat since you got in here.”

Eileen glanced at her reflection.

A smile was indeed playing around her lips, and she looked relaxed.

After thinking for a moment, Eileen said softly, “Something happened earlier that made me really

happy. I finally found someone who helped me a long time ago, someone I’ve been searching for, for a

long time.”

The two staff members quickly said, “Well, good for you!”

Eileen sighed, “But he doesn’t want to accept my repayment.”

The two staff members responded, “For some people with high integrity, they help others not for the

sake of money.”

Eileen nodded, “So I didn’t give him money. What I gave him was my blessing.”

The two staff members were speechless.

Eileen looked a bit worried, “Can you guys help me brainstorm a bit? What can I do to repay him that

he’ll accept?”

One of the staff members hesitated before saying. “Maybe you could try giving him some money?

Maybe this is a problem that money can solve?”

Eileen shook her head, “I don’t think that will work. Because usually, if money can solve the problem, I

can’t.”

The two staff members were speechless again.

Eileen continued, “And like you said, he’s a person of high integrity. If I give him money, isn’t that an

insult? I can’t do that!”

The two staff members remained silent.

After stepping out of the elevator, Eileen was still worrying over this issue.

At the end of the day’s work.

That night, she returned to the hotel, originally intending to have a chat with Egbert.

But she heard that Galen and Egbert had already left.

B

They had come to see her on their way, and after meeting her, they had to go back to continue

shooting Eyes on the Rendezvous.

Eileen felt disappointed and sighed in her room.

Janice, holding a tablet, asked her, “Eileen, the first episode of Shining Star aired today, aren’t you

going to watch?”

Eileen looked up, “What’s Shining Star?”

Janice was speechless, “It’s the talent show you’re currently filming!”

With that, Eileen remembered.

She made a couple of “oh” sounds, slowly moved next to Janice, and rested her chin on Janice’s

shoulder, looking at the tablet in her hand.

Janice was like a tablet stand, supporting Eileen as they watched together.

Overall, the show was pretty good. The production team had a budget, they did sufficient promotion, as

soon as it aired, the views shot up, and there were a lot of

comments.

Eileen watched for a while and was surprised to see that the production team had intentionally

protected and beautified her image.

She told Janice, “I actually swore here, but it was cut out. And here, here, and here, all cut…”

After listening for a while, Janice couldn’t stand it anymore and asked, “Is there ever a time when you

don’t swear?”

Then Karin made her appearance.

Eileen said, “I never swore at Karin.”

During her first performance, Karin performed a dance similar to one Eileen had posted online before,

immediately attracting a lot of comments, many of which mentioned Eileen.

Karin’s dance was really good, and after finishing, she confessed her admiration for Eileen on stage.

Eileen said to Janice, “Watch, in a moment Aurora will give Karin a low score, and Hubery will also give

Karin a low score, but all of this will be edited out…”

Before she could finish, she saw Aurora on the screen saying, “I’m not a professional, I don’t dare to

score casually.”

After saying this, she gave Karin a B grade.

Eileen was stunned.

This clip that damaged Aurora’s image, was not edited out?

The audience clearly hadn’t expected Aurora to say this and give such a rating, and for a moment the

real-time comments were all question marks.

Then, an even bigger climax arrived.

Hubery gave Karin a C grade, saying, “I think this dance doesn’t suit you.”

This was like lighting a barrel of gunpowder.

Real-time comments started pouring in like crazy.

– [He’s obviously targeting Karin, isn’t he? Everyone knows he has beef with Eileen, but what did Karin

do wrong?]

– [Karin has chosen the wrong side. Hubery and Aurora are coaches, Eileen is just a celebrity coach.

Even if you do love Eileen, you should hold back, the coaches have the final say.]

– [I’m speechless, is this a hidden jab at Eileen?]

– [The dance doesn’t suit her? I think it suits her perfectly, she danced so well, it’s a pity it wasn’t

performed at Hubery’s mother’s funeral.]

All the comments following were cursing Hubery.

After watching the entire episode, Eileen was very confused, “They really cut out all the parts where I

was swearing, but kept all the parts where Aurora and Hubery were unfair. What’s going on?”

Janice replied, “I heard that there’s going to be a coach change for the fourth stage performance, both

Hubery and Aurora will be replaced.”

Eileen frowned.

The production team didn’t inform her about this.

Could it be because she injured Hubery and scared Aurora into hospital?

Eileen kept silent for a moment, deciding she must keep her mouth shut to avoid the production team

asking her for compensation for replacing the coaches!

The next day, while Eileen was having breakfast, Janice suddenly said, “Something big happened.”

Eileen was puzzled, “What happened?”

Janice said, “The show that aired yesterday stirred up a huge controversy and got a lot of flak, even

trending.”

Eileen, with a touch of schadenfreude, asked, “They were dissing Hubery and Aurora, right?”

Janice glanced at her, remained silent for a moment, and then said, “They were dissing you.”

Eileen was taken aback, puzzled, “Me? Why are they picking on me again, what did I do wrong? I

watched the show yesterday. It was an hour and a half long, and I was only on for maybe ten seconds!

I only said one sentence!”

“Exactly,” Janice nodded, “So your fans and the critics got all antsy. They’ve been questioning the

production team, asking why you didn’t get more screen time. The team responded that you originally

had 20 minutes, but the director decided to cut the part where you were arguing, and you only ended

up with 10 seconds of footage.”

Eileen fell into silence.

Janice took a look at Eileen, “You spent 19 minutes and 50 seconds of those 20 minutes arguing. Both

your fans and haters think you’re not ambitious enough. They’ve been posting a lot of negative

comments online, tens of thousands of them, even making it to the trending list.”

Eileen was somewhat speechless. She opened Twitter and sure enough, it was just as described.

But Eileen didn’t care, she wasn’t bothered.

She took out a bagel, and while munching on it, she said, “I can’t help it, they just love to pick on me.

But it’s not a big deal, I’m used to being criticized.”

Janice said, “The big deal I’m talking about is not this, but the cost of quelling the negative comments,

which is $15,000. Ophelia has already notified you, this amount will be deducted from your payment.

Hopefully, this will be a lesson learned.”

Eileen froze, the bagel in her mouth dropping onto the floor.

Eileen lifted her head, looking at Janice, incredulously asked, “What did you say?!”
