Chapter 532


    It seemed that in order to build hype for themselves, some schools or students deliberately hired


    people to be their "fans" to cheer forthem.


    With that remark, Fade couldn''t help shaking his head. "I didn''t expect this to be happening in a


    cultural festival."


    Yuri said, "Anyways, the result of thepetition ultimately depends on the performance. The


    number of fans are not that important."


    Hearing this, the student added on, "Do you know, Brother Chen? Yuri is the same too! She has


    quite some fame in Bay City and can be considered as an idol there. Many of our fans in Bay City


    volunteered toe and cheer for her, but Yuri declined them herself."


    She sighed, "The others are willing to spend money to hire fans to cheer for them, but Yuri, you are


    doing the exact opposite. This..."


    Yuri hurriedly exined, "I just don''t think it''s necessary. In addition, if we lost thepetition, they''ll


    be disappointed too."


    The ssmate giggled and put an arm around Yuri''s back, "Oh Yuri, you are always


    Fade knew about Yuri''s character, so he was not surprised at all by her actions. He smiled and said,


    "As long as Yuri is happy, it doesn''t matter if she has fans or not. If she really wants to be a


    superstar, I can always bring her to Long City since I know some people in the entertainment


    companies here."


    Yuri''s face reddened after listening to him.


    On the other hand, her ssmate sighed andmented, "It''s so nice to find a rich, influential and


    loving boyfriend, don''t you think so, Yuri? Why can''t I find a boyfriend as good as yours too!"


    Yuri''s face reddened at her ssmate''s teases. She gently nudged her and rified, "Don''t talk


    nonsense. Big Brother Chen and I are just friends. We-"


    Just then, there was a burst of cheers around followed by fanatic shouts.


    "Yuri Zhang, I love you!"


    "Yuri, please sign for me!"


    "All the best! Goddess Yuri."

    The three of them were stunned by the loud cries and cheers. It was only then that they realized


    that they had unconsciously walked to the backstage entrance while chatting away.


    Some of the audience shouted Yuri''s name when they saw her. Although she had asked her fans


    not toe, many still came to support her. Right now, they were shouting their cheers in unison,


    creating much hype in the arena.


    Seeing this, Yuri quickly stopped fooling around with herpanions. She waved sweetly to her


    fans as a sign of thanks, even stopping to take pictures and sign autographs forthem.


    Just as she was busy signing autographs for her fans, another group of people emerged behind


    them. The girl leading the group was lean and tall, dressed sexily in a pair of leather hot-pants and


    leather jacket.


    As soon she emerged, a deafening cheer weed her arrival.


    All of a sudden, a group of fans dressed in uniforms appeared with the girl''s portrait in their hands.


    A bunch of them held up the girl''s posters and banners while chanting her name together. Their


    thunderous voices echoed in the stadium,pletely covering out the chants by Yuri''s fans. The


    stadium shook with the roar of voices as if it could cause an earthquake.


    The girl seemed to be very familiar with this kind of situation. She walked out with a confident smile


    and kept waving to her supporters.


    When Fade saw this, he was very curious and asked, "Who is this person? Why is she so


    influential? A lot of stars do not even have this kind of fan base, do they?"


    Yuri did not mention anything, but her ssmate put on a distasteful look as she exined, "Her


    name is Elena Zou and she is a senior student in the dance faculty of Bay Source University. She is


    also an influencer that often does livestreams on her channel, which is why she is quite famous


    online."


    "When the Cultural Festival was just announced, someone on the Inte made a poprity poll to


    let everyone vote for their favourite schools and participants. Originally, Bay City University and Yuri


    were ranked first, whereas Elena was only ranked third. However just a day before the end of the


    polling campaign, her votes suddenly increased by 100,000 and surpassed Yuri quickly, cing her


    first in the poprity poll."


    "Moreover, many rumours about her has arisen even before the show has started. There''s been


    rumours about her sure win in the festival due to her overwhelming charisma and appearance;


    rumours about how she trained so hard that she sprained her leg; and even rumours on how the


    other trainees and participants aren''t as good as her."


    "The bottom line is that all kinds of rumours have been spread wildly which drastically increased her


    poprity. Currently, she is one of the top choices in the running as the festival''s champion."


    "As for these fans, they were obviously hired. Otherwise, how could they be so professional and


    well-trained?"


    After listening to this, Fade stared at the girl with heavy makeup. He couldn''t help but shake his


    head,menting to himself, "This girl has gone a little overboard in order to win."


    However, it was none of his business, so Fade didn''t want to linger too long on it. He just walked


    towards Yuri.


    At this moment, Yuri was taking a picture together with a fan, and had her back against the aisle.


    At the same time, Elena was walking towards them on the aisle. With arge crowd following


    behind her like a lost puppy, she suddenly bumped into Yuri hard.


    Yuri didn''t expect that someone to bump into her from behind, so she lost her bnce easily. She


    shrieked out of shock and was falling face-first onto the ground.


    In the nick of time, Fade managed to swoop in and save her from the fall.


    "Yuri, are you okay?" he asked with concern.


    Yuri shook her head and assured him, "I''m fine!"


    Despite her assurance, she still looked slightly pale as she turned around to see who the culprit


    was.


    Elena did not even utter a word of apology despite bumping into Yuri. Instead, she continued to


    smile and wave at the crowd as though nothing had happened.


    Noticing this, Fade''s eyes narrowed as he asked sharply, "Did she bump into you on purpose?"


    Yuri waved her hand to dismiss it, "No, it''s not. I''m sure it was just an ident-"


    "If it was an ident, how did she manage to bump into you with so much strength? In addition,


    even if it was an ident, she should at leaste over to apologize," Fade said coldly before


    walking over to Elena.


    "Big Brother Chen, don''t-" Yuri shouted. She wanted to stop Fade, but her ssmate came over


    and stopped her, advising, "Yuri, you can''t


    be too kind. Otherwise, you''ll definitely be taking advantage of in the future if you choose to enter


    the entertainment industry. You must resist when you have to, and sometimes you even have to


    take the initiative to fight back. Only then will others learn not to take you lightly!"


    "I—" Yuri was still worried.


    At the same time, Fade walked over to Elena and said, "Hold up!"
