On the Internet.

“Are the ratings out yet?”

“I think it won’t be too high. This show is just like the same old medicine with a different name. It’s not very meaningful.”

“Agreed. Because of this, I didn’t watch it.”

“But singing shows have been more popular recently. With this trend, I think its rating should be between 1 and 2.”

At this point, the news was released.

“Extra! Extra! ‘Strongest Heavenly Voice’ takes the first spot in ratings with a strong rating of 3.524. They’ve overcome the reigning Hunan TV to become the hottest show!”

“D*mn! D*mn! That’s not possible. Hunan TV’s ‘Where has mommy gone?’ actually got outdone by ‘Strongest Heavenly Voice’. That doesn’t make sense. Countless celebrities were invited on ‘Where has mommy gone?’.”

“Is this true? Could it be fake news?”

“Fake my a*s. Didn’t you see Shanghai TV’s official Weibo? They’re already celebrating.”

“Awesome. Is this show really that good? It can’t be that they bought the ratings, right?”

“Cheh. Things are strictly controlled nowadays. Who would dare to buy ratings?”

“Honestly, this show does have its own attractions but I feel like this show is just relying on Master Lin. After watching the first episode for ten minutes, I couldn’t remove my eyes from the screen anymore. Every move and every action that Master Lin made as he sat there gave me the feeling that he was there that night to cause trouble.”

“^Big Bro, what you said really resonated with my heart.”

…

The Internet was bustling with noise. Meanwhile, Lin Fan was at Cloud Street, selling scallion pancakes as usual. Of course, he wasn’t too concerned about the ratings.

At this moment, Director Liu personally called.

“Master Lin, congratulations! The ratings are very hot. And we’ve taken the glorious first place.”

“Director Liu, what are you thanking me for? For the ratings to be so hot, it is everyone’s contribution.”

“Don’t be so humble. The main attraction of the show is you. The netizens are all discussing and saying that if it wasn’t for you, the ratings wouldn’t have reached such a high level.”

Lin Fan laughed humbly. He was a humble man. Even if he knew that this was his contribution, he wouldn’t be too self-satisfied. There’s a saying that arrogance makes one deteriorate and humility makes one improve. Lin Fan still wanted to improve, so of course, he had to be a little more humble.

The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up.

In front of the stall.

The townsfolk were gathered around. “Little Boss, you’re a famous person now. Give us autographs, will you?”

“Yeah, yeah! Little Boss is really special. Even though you’re famous now, you still sell your scallion pancakes everyday. If it was someone else, he or she would’ve run off to search for the pinnacle of life already.”

“It’s because of this that I like Little Boss so much. In future, if anyone dares to bully Little Boss, I’ll be the first to get back at them.”

Lin Fan waved his hand humbly. “Actually, I’ve also thought about not selling scallion pancakes anymore but once I closed my eyes, I thought about everyone’s supportive smiles. Of course, I can’t stop. In order to let everyone enjoy these freshly-made scallion pancakes, I have to keep on going.”

*applause*

“Well said.”

“Little Boss, I’ll definitely continue following this show. I can forget about everything else but I definitely won’t forget to watch the show everyday at 8 pm.”

“Hehe, I never thought that our Cloud Street would have its own superstar. On top of that, we even get to eat the superstar’s scallion pancakes. We are really too fortunate.”

“Keep it low-key. Low-key.” Lin Fan smiled calmly. He waved his hand indifferently. It wasn’t his style to be so high-key.

In the shop, Fraud Tian looked at Lin Fan, then at the townsfolk and helplessly shook his head. “What a bunch of pure and innocent children. They’ve been fooled by this kid.”

Wu You Lan looked at Lin Fan in admiration. “Brother Lin is really too amazing. There’s really nothing you can’t do.”

Fraud Tian said, “You Lan, this kind of thinking is very dangerous.”

“I just have to worship him,” said Wu You Lan with a smile.

Fraud Tian was speechless. He had an urge to just die on the spot. How could there be such a big difference between two fellow humans?

Nighttime. 8 pm.

At the scene of ‘Strongest Heavenly Voice’.

The mentors had already entered the studio.

Lin Fan had been busy for the whole day and his life felt plentiful. Moreover, he was filled with energy and he wasn’t one bit tired.

However, when he saw Zhao Li and Liu Ying Dong, he felt a little strange. Why did the two of them seem so steady today? Moreover, when they looked at him, the only expression they had on their faces was one of displeasure.

According to usual developments, they should have been coming over to give him a warning. It seemed that they had been suppressed by his presence.

The audience had entered the place long ago and they were all in eager anticipation.

Citizens who were camping in front of their computers saw ‘Strongest Heavenly Voice”s opening scene and were all filled with excitement. They wondered what would happen tonight.

On the previous day, fifteen contestants had gone up on stage but only six had managed to join the mentors’ teams.

Three joined Zhao Li. Two joined Liu Ying Dong. One joined Hao Jian Yang.

Not a single contestant had joined Lin Fan because, the whole time, he did not flash his light at all. This made many of the students feel very helpless. They actually wanted to get chosen by Master Lin the most. It was a shame that Master Lin wouldn’t give them this opportunity.

The host stepped on stage and once again, the familiar opening speech was delivered. After the previous day’s incident, the host, Cui Wei, had already done ample mental preparations. No matter what happened on the show, he wouldn’t be surprised.

“Alright, let’s invite our first contestant on stage.”

At that moment, backstage, a pair of middle-aged parents shook a young man’s hand. “Do your best, son.”

“Mmm, I will.” Chen Rui An nodded his head solemnly. He had already done all his preparations. Ever since stepping out of the shadow of his past, he had been preparing for ‘Strongest Heavenly Voice’.

His biggest dream was to prove himself once more and to become Master Lin’s student.

He really, really liked Master Lin. Also, he had joined Master Lin’s fan club and became an active fan of his. Although he only knew about Master Lin for a very short time, just within this short period, he had already successfully transformed into a terrifying fanboy. No matter what kind of scandal Master Lin was met with, he would always trust in Master Lin unconditionally.

Even if there was conclusive evidence against Master Lin, he would still exonerate the person he admired in his mind. This kind of fan was one in a million.

Stepping on the stage once again, Chen Rui An was a little nervous. It was as if he was recalling what he had experienced two years ago.

However, the dream in his heart kept him steady. Then, he walked confidently on stage and to the center of the stage.

“Greetings, mentors. I am Chen Rui An. I come from Jianghai, Wumen County. I’m twenty-three as of today. I like music and the person I admire most is Teacher Lin. The song I’m going to sing is ‘Clear Skies After Rain’.”

After the previous day’s happenings, some of the contestants, who had been planning to tell stories to get sympathy, had all decided to stay silent. The pressure that Lin Fan gave them was too immense. They were afraid of being exposed under his piercing gaze.

As Lin Fan had said, singing was singing. They weren’t there to compare who was more pitiful.

Lin Fan nodded. “Mmm, not bad. You’re very confident. You may begin performing. But if you don’t sing well, even if you admire me, it would be useless.”

Hearing his idol’s voice, Chen Rui An’s heart settled down. That little nervous feeling in his heart disappeared. He was only left with a single thought and that was to touch Master Lin with his voice. Then, that would make Master Lin flash his light for him.

Zhao Li was very displeased with Lin Fan. She realized that this student kept on staring at Lin Fan. Anyone who was close to Lin Fan was her enemy.

But at this moment, she realized that this young man seemed very familiar. Chen Rui An.

She mumbled to herself in her heart. Suddenly, it seemed that she had remembered something as a grin appeared on her face.

Just as Chen Rui An was about to open his mouth, Zhao Li interrupted, “Wait a moment.”

The audience was stunned. Could it be that something was about to go down?
