230: Chapter 230 Two Clowns

Lin Ran was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

She certainly knew that, given Lin Xiao's abilities and personality, it was impossible for him to joke about such things.

Whatever he said was basically the truth.

The others were confused.

The little assistant said in surprise, "This, how is this possible? I ordered the late-night snack, and we've always eaten from this shop before!"

Lin Ran's expression finally softened slightly, and she clenched her fists. "No, I'm going to report this shop!"

"It has nothing to do with the shop."

Lin Xiao chuckled softly, "It was done by fans on Song Xi's side."

"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous!"

Lin Ran was trembling with anger.

Her fans had only replaced Song Xi's water with paint, which was very easy to smell and basically impossible to actually drink.

But what about her side?

That was feces!

Mixed into the spicy pork intestines, the smell was basically masked by the original flavor of the dish.

If Lin Xiao hadn't been here to warn her, she definitely would have eaten it!

That's too much!

What was even more infuriating was that she had apologized to Song Xi for nothing just now!

At this moment, a noise came from the lounge entrance.

Song Xi and Zhang Xiaofu were standing outside, looking awkward.

They didn't know whether to enter or retreat.

Obviously, they must have heard what was said just now.

"Brother Lin, look at what this has turned into..."

Zhang Xiaofu looked sheepish.

Before Lin Ran could speak, the little assistant said sarcastically, "We thought it was just us failing to restrain our fans, but we didn't expect something even worse!"

Upon hearing this, Song Xi's assistant was displeased, "You said it yourself that it was done by fans, what does that have to do with us!"

"If the principals had any influence at all, would the fans be allowed to go this far?"

"I think it's just some people directing this behind the scenes, and then blaming it on the fans in the end!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Getting anxious, aren't you? Did I hit a nerve?"

"..."

The people on both sides kept arguing.

Song Xi and Lin Ran had no intention of stopping them, and their faces were full of anger as well.

If they didn't have to worry about their image, they probably would have jumped in themselves.

But at this very moment, Lin Xiao's inner voice appeared simultaneously in the minds of Zhang Xiaofu and Lin Ran.

[Sigh, still arguing here!]

[That endorsement you two are competing for lately has already been snatched away by that so-called 'most beautiful newcomer'.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, newcomers really know how to play; they use under-the-table methods without hesitation!]

[Fifth Sister and Song Xi are considered veterans in the entertainment industry, yet they are being played for fools!]

...

Lin Ran's expression changed slightly, and she immediately went to the side to call Fourth Sister.

Zhang Xiaofu also realized where the problem lay and pulled Song Xi outside.

He couldn't directly ask about the content related to Lin Xiao's inner voice, so he had to beat around the bush.

"Think carefully again, have you offended anyone else recently?"

"No."

Song Xi answered without hesitation.

She was still furious and couldn't think calmly at all.

Zhang Xiaofu looked at her with frustration, "Fine, let me ask you then, what are you and Lin Ran competing for?"

"Just an endorsement, such a trivial matter, yet they have to make such a huge fuss!"

Song Xi rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Seeing that the topic had finally been brought up, Zhang Xiaofu followed up, "How is that endorsement going now? Have you checked?"

Song Xi frowned slightly, "For the past two days, there doesn't seem to be any movement... Did Lin Ran succeed?"

After saying this, she hurriedly went to find her manager.

The manager didn't know the situation either, so she went to call the brand.

"What? The person has been selected?"

When the manager returned, her expression was very ugly.

She looked back at Song Xi and pulled up a photo on her phone.

Song Xi looked at the person in the photo and was even confused for a moment.

Who is this stranger?

She seems a bit familiar...

Wait, isn't this the newcomer who was exposed by the paparazzi for using under-the-table methods to get ahead?

Back then, she had even mocked her with schadenfreude.

So, this 'getting ahead' meant taking the spot that originally belonged to her?

At this moment, the arguing in the lounge had also quieted down.

Before long, Lin Ran walked out, still looking angry.

Song Xi couldn't help but mock, "You know now, too? Heh, still want to compete for it?"

"It sounds as if you weren't competing for it yourself. Don't think I don't know that you've been eating boiled vegetables for a long time because of this endorsement."

Lin Ran snorted coldly.

This sentence was like a knife, stabbing into Song Xi's heart.

Recalling how she was so hungry every day she wanted to bite people, only to be replaced by someone using under-the-table methods.

This feeling was like being stepped on hard.

Seeing Song Xi angry, Lin Ran was actually happy.

"Do you want to eat a late-night snack together?"

"Who wants to eat feces with you!"

Song Xi complained, but her stomach rumbled at the right moment.

A sense of hunger instantly rushed to her brain.

Whether it was to fill her stomach or to make up for the neglect of her body recently, she wanted to have a big meal.

"Ahem, does anyone want instant noodles?"

Lin Xiao had returned carrying a bag at some point.

Lin Ran sighed softly, "Sigh, instant noodles it is, it's still better than eating feces."

Song Xi also stubbornly said, "If I didn't have to film through the night later, I wouldn't be so easily appeased."

Just like that, the four of them sat together.

They managed to make instant noodles feel like a feast.

...

Two days later, Lin Xiao and Zhang Xiaofu both received calls from their respective Counselors at the same time.

They were told to go to Principal Wei's office as soon as possible.

There were eight vice principals at A University, and this Principal Wei was the person in charge of their military training this time.

The training ground at the fire station was also secured through his efforts.

Now that this incident had occurred during military training, he was the one who had to clean up the mess.

Lin Xiao and Zhang Xiaofu roughly guessed that they were being called over this time, most likely because of the military training incident.

But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they walked to the door of the principal's office, they heard chaos inside.

"Principal! What's wrong, Principal!"

"Quick, quick, help him up!"

"..."
