Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu looked up at Xia Jinmeng.

She stared at Xia Jinmeng coldly and said, “If you want to snatch Lu Shiyuan away from Tang Qidai, then work hard to change your temper.” Lin Shanchu began to leave.

“Wait a minute.” Xia Jinmeng reached out to pull her back.

Although Lin Shanchu skillfully avoided her grasp, she still stayed to hear her out, “Speak.”

Xia Jinmeng glanced at her pocket and said, “Let me borrow your phone.” Lin Shanchu hesitated.

Her hesitation made Xia Jinmeng impatient and she threatened, “If you don’t lend it to me, I’ll report you!”

Lin Shanchu’s tone was filled with disdain as she replied, “Do whatever you want.”

She wouldn’t let Xia Jinmeng borrow her phone even if she threatened to report her.

“You…”

Xia Jinmeng was furious.

But she could only watch as Lin Shanchu walked away.

It didn’t take long for Lin Shanchu to return to the training room.

The director came to look for her and Nan Mu accompanied him.

Nan Mu seemed to have just come from an event since he appeared with a suit blazer hanging over his arm.

“Lin Shanchu, could you come out for a moment?”

Lin Shanchu informed her teammates and stepped outside.

Nan Mu and the director waited for her in the public area outside the training room.

Many trainees were peering at the door, curious to know why they called out Lin Shanchu.

The director spoke first, “Hand it over.”

He extended his hand out to Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu knew what he was talking about.

But she pretended to play dumb, “What?”

That idiot Xia Jinmeng actually reported her for hiding her phone.

The director glanced at Nan Mu for help. But he found that he had turned to face the sky with an impression saying ‘I don’t know anything. This is none of my business.’

The director sighed helplessly, “The phone.”

“Wasn’t my phone confiscated?” Lin Shanchu’s eyes were innocent and clear. “I handed it to you on the day I came in.”

For a second, the director started to suspect that Xia Jinmeng had deceived him.

But on second thought, he felt that Xia Jinmeng couldn’t have done that.

As an artist, doing such things would tarnish her reputation in the industry.

So, it must be this girl, who was exceptionally good at pretending, who was the liar.

The director turned to Nan Mu again and used his eyes to signal him to say something.

The trainees in the distance whispered among themselves:

“Why are they looking for Lin Shanchu?”

“Seems like they’re asking her for something.”

“What do they want?”

“I don’t know.”

“Based on Lin Shanchu’s appearance, it seems like she’s saying she doesn’t have it.”

“Did Xia Jinmeng cause trouble again?”

“I saw Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng coming out of the bathroom one after the other earlier…

The Xia Jinmeng they were gossiping about happened to also be eavesdropping near the entrance of the training room.

She realized that Lin Shanchu was adamantly denying it and immediately strut over.

“The phone is in her shirt pocket!” Xia Jinmeng deliberately raised her voice.

Everyone heard it.

They all looked at her.

Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth.

Xia Jinmeng, that idiot!

The training room’s air conditioning was set low and this time, Lin Shanchu’s performance didn’t involve much movement. So she was wearing a thin training jacket and zipped it up to the top.

There was a pocket on the side of the short-sleeved undershirt she was wearing.

The phone was placed there.

Xia Jinmeng walked over and reached out to pull Lin Shanchu’s zipper.

Lin Shanchu quickly held onto her jacket collar.

Yun Wu, who was watching Xia Jinmeng’s actions from a distance, pushed through the crowd and ran over.

Xia Jinmeng was smarter this time. While Lin Shanchu was holding her collar, she reached under her jacket and pulled out the phone from the pocket of her undershirt.

“Here it is!”

Xia Jinmeng proudly spun around with the phone in her hand, showing it to everyone.

“Lin Shanchu hid her phone.”

Lin Shanchu took a deep breath to calm herself and tidied up her clothes. Then, she shot a cold glance at Xia Jinmeng.

Xia Jinmeng felt a chill down her spine.

At this moment, Yun Wu was already standing in front of them. She witnessed the entire process of Xia Jinmeng taking out the phone from Lin Shanchu’s pocket.

She thought that this was a new trick that Xia Jinmeng had come up with to embarrass Lin Shanchu.

She didn’t expect the evidence to be real this time.

Sensing Yunwu’s gaze, Lin Shanchu felt the need to explain something.

Unexpectedly, Yun Wu gave her a thumbs-up and silently mouthed, “Impressive.”

No one had expected Lin Shanchu to actually sneak in a phone.

After all, she looked so gentle and obedient. One look and you could tell that she gave off the impression of being a cooperative rule abider.

“Give it to me,” the director pointed his extended hand toward Xia Jinmeng.

Xia Jinmeng handed the phone to the director and shot Lin Shanchu a mischievously sly smirk.

“Everyone has handed in their phones. Lin Shanchu was the only one that has broken the rules by sneaking in her phone,” Xia Jinmeng declared.

Everyone understood what she meant by this. The director had to punish Lin Shanchu otherwise it would be unfair to the rest.

The director and Nan Mu naturally understood Xia Jinmeng’s intentions.

Girls tend to have a competitive mentality and Xia Jinmeng was definitely not the only one among the trainees who had such thoughts.

“Jinmeng is right,” the director nodded with a smile.

Xia Jinmeng crossed her arms triumphantly, “How is the production crew going to punish Lin Shanchu?”

She knew that the director favored Lin Shanchu, so she deliberately took out Lin Shanchu’s phone in front of so many people to expose her.

Although this was a small matter, Xia Jinmeng knew that if it escalated, the director would be forced to give an explanation to the other trainees.

She couldn’t believe that he would still dare to blatantly side with Lin Shanchu in front of so many people.

As for Nan Mu, he wasn’t allowed to say anything since he was Lin Shanchu’s boss.

The director had been in this industry longer than Xia Jinmeng had ever been.

He could see through her little tricks.

Xia Jinmeng’s plan was well-executed.

However, the director gestured to the other trainees and said, “Girls, come over here.”

The director was a good person. The trainees had a good relationship with him, so they all obediently ran over.

“Lin Shanchu secretly kept a phone, breaking the rules that apply to everyone.

What do you all think is an appropriate punishment for her?”

Xia Jinmeng suddenly felt that the situation was not looking good for her and shouted, “Five hundred push-ups!”

Yunwu cupped her hands around her mouth, shouting louder than Xia

Jinmeng, “Make her sing the nursery rhyme ‘Two Tigers’!”

Ran Zhimo added, “She should pole dance!”

Her teammates also joined in, “Oh, make it the seductive kind.”

Those few guys backstage who had previously harassed Lin Shanchu’s legs couldn’t help their perverted thoughts.

More and more trainees joined in.

“Have her wear sexy clothes while doing it!”

“Expose her thighs!”

“The less she wears, the better!”

Lin Shanchu’s jaw dropped.

The director and Nan Mu were also as stunned.

What the hell were these girls trying to do?

Xia Jinmeng couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

Who uses pole dancing as punishment?

Wasn’t this just another opportunity for Lin Shanchu to show off in front of everyone?

This was a f * cking reward!

However, her disagreement was quickly drowned out by everyone’s cheers.

The director gestured for the girls to calm down, “Okay, quiet down. Let’s have a vote, shall we?”

Although he also felt that the way these girls wanted to punish Lin Shanchu was a little ridiculous, it was much better than physical punishment..
