When they won the award, the camera shifted to Shi Jin's position.
Her expression was calm and composed. A judge beside her was whispering something to her. She tilted her head and listened. She was as beautiful as a person in a painting.
After Sun Yijing and Chu Ling came down, they sent a message to their managers, asking them to cancel some unnecessary articles.
Very quickly, the heavyweight awards began.
On stage, as the representative of the judges, Shi Jin presented the trophy to the best female singer.
After the award ceremony ended, the foreign reporters swarmed towards Shi Jin.
The reporters from Country S were secretly regretting not taking the chance to interview Shi Jin during the red carpet walk.
As for Sun Yijing and Chu Ling, the awards they received had little to do with music. The reporters naturally wouldn't spend too much time on them.
*■*•■*•
In Country S.
On Weibo.
This year's Mercury Music Awards had received a lot of attention. And as one of the judges, Shi Jin quickly reached the top of the search list.
Chu Ling's fans: "How did she get there without any nominated works?"
Shi Jin's fans: "Hamilton Music Academy Professor Shi Jin.jpg"
Chu Ling's fans: "She still doesn't have any works."
Shi Jin's fans: "Music Alliance signed Shi Jin English song copyright.jpg"
Chu Ling's fans: "It's not a Chinese song, what's the use?"
Shi Jin's fans: "Music Alliance's upcoming release, Shi Jin's two Mandarin albums, global sale.jpg"
Chu Ling's fans:
Chu Ling's incident this time was the last straw that broke his popularity. Not only did it cause Shi Jin's fans to rebound, it also caused the fans and passersby to feel disgusted.
"I've never seen someone as disgusting as Chu Ling's fans."
"This time, Shi Jin has received recognition from overseas and is also part of the cultural output and communication. What did Chu Ling and Sun Yijing do? What has the Vision and Costume Awards got to do with them?"
"Isn't Chu Ling the one always shamelessly following Shi Jin around?"
"It's really strange. As a passerby, I can't stand it anymore. Every time I see Chu Ling stirring up trouble, the studio and manager also stir up trouble. Does Shi Jin care about them?"
"This kind of stinky male artist should just get lost as far as possible. Sun Yijing treats Chu Ling like a treasure. Do you really think there's anyone else who likes him?"
Chu Ling's fans went everywhere to put out the fire, but it was too late.
The collapse of public opinion was not something that happened in a day or two. Not to mention that he was an artist without a good enough representative work. The moment he fell, without any work to support him, his landing posture would be extremely ugly.
His manager, Hu Lai, had already deleted the posts mocking Shi Jin overnight, but it was useless.
The more people knew about Shi Jin's ability and knew that she was already at a height that Chu Ling could not reach, the more people disliked Chu Ling.

After attending the award ceremony, Sun Yijing and Chu Ling returned home.
The two of them returned silently, wishing that they had never attended this event.
"Go ahead. I'll look for you if I need anything." Sun Yijing's voice was extremely calm.
Chu Ling decided to take back his thoughts and focus on developing his career.
Hu Lai told him in a low voice, "The brands have confirmed that they won't renew your endorsements. And the movie that was originally booked, the sponsors said that they want a new artiste to act in it, saying that he's more suitable. The editors called the few covers in the fashion magazine and said that they want to push it back for you for a few months. They have someone else to fill in the gaps at the last minute." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Chu Ling:"..."
He already had a premonition, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Without any exposure for a few months, he would soon be replaced by a newbie. He would then enter a state of no return.
Hu Lai lowered her head, not daring to show him the data reports.
He fell too quickly.
After being separated for less than two hours, Sun Yijing sent a WeChat message. "Let's delete each other. Let's not see each other again."
Chu Ling: "..."
Shi Jin stayed in Paris for two days longer than Sun Yijing to handle the follow-up work.
When she returned to the country, Gu Jingyuan happened to be with her.
"Brother, are you done with your vaccine research?"
"Not yet, but we've already separated the usable parts and sent them back to Country S for further research. Coincidentally, I still have some questions to ask you. This time, we want to use Chinese medicine in order to complete this vaccine. There are many things about Chinese medicine that we need your help with."
Shi Jin had already expected this. After all, in her previous life, she remembered that Gu Jingyuan had used Chinese medicine in the end.
However, in her previous life, Gu Jingyuan had completed it much later. It was probably because he struggled with solving the issues with Chinese medicine.
"After I return to Country S, I'll go to your laboratory to take a look."
Gu Jingyuan knew that she had been busy for quite some time, so he smiled and said, "There's no hurry. You should rest first. Come over when you're free."
The two of them boarded the plane together. Before the plane took off, Shi Jin asked about Jing Qing on WeChat.
Doctor Meng also sent a message to ask her about the details of acupuncture.
Shi Jin replied to all of them before she saw Fu Xiuyuan's message.
Her lips curled up as she sent him a voice message.
-k-k-k
Sun Yijing had suffered a crushing defeat at Shi Jin's hands this time. When she returned to the Sun family, gossip kept coming.
Her cousins were all eager to take her place. However, no one really wanted to become enemies with the Li family. To put it bluntly, they just didn't want to fight and wanted to gain benefits.
The more Sun Yijing did, the more criticism she received.
Old Madam Sun called her to her side and said, "You can't even handle Gu Zehan and Shi Jin. What do you plan to do next?"
"Grandma, those small conflicts can't stop the Li family from doing anything. I think we should focus on the pharmaceutical company."
Old Madam Sun looked at her. "Your father is sick and can't manage the family business. I handed the Sun family over to you because I had no choice. If you don't do it well, your uncles will ask you to step down from this position. I really can't refuse."
Old Madam Sun had already put in a lot of effort to protect the position of the Sun family as one of the Four Big Families in her early years. Now that she was old, it was inevitable that she would feel a little powerless.
Everything could only be done by Sun Yijing. If she really couldn't do it, she would have to prioritize the family business.
Sun Yijing's heart skipped a beat. "I understand."
Very soon, she broke up with Chu Ling and announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry.
In the past, when she entered the entertainment industry, it was only to make those uncles think that she was playful. They would be uncertain and let down their guard against her.
Now that she had to give it her all, she naturally could not let this useless job affect her thoughts.
*** Once Sun Yijing left the entertainment industry, there was less condemnation towards her. However, these criticisms and bad public relations all fell on Chu Ling.
Of course, this was all in the future. Chu Ling would never rise again because of this.
k-kk
When Shi Jin and Gu Jingyuan left the airport, Fu Xiuyuan was already waiting.
Seeing Fu Xiuyuan's dark expression suddenly turn gentle and peaceful as he walked towards Shi Jin, Gu Jingyuan knew that he had become a third wheel again.
As expected, when Fu Xiuyuan was done hugging Shi Jin, he looked towards Gu Jingyuan as though he had just discovered his existence.
"I'll take a taxi home by myself." Gu Jingyuan shrugged and said this before Fu Xiuyuan could. Otherwise, if Fu Xiuyuan said it, he would be the one who would be embarrassed.
"I'll get the chauffeur to send you back."
"What about you?"
"I left a spare car at the airport."
Gu Jingyuan had forgotten that Fu Xiuyuan had always been ostentatious, unlike himself, who was already used to living a normal life and was not so extravagant.
After Gu Jingyuan left, Shi Jinyuan and Fu Xiuyuan got into the car.
"Are you tired?" Fu Xiuyuan asked.
"It's not that bad. I just feel a little sore after the long flight."
The man naturally reached out to massage her shoulders and neck, helping her relax.
Shi Jin leaned into his embrace. At this moment, she finally relaxed from her tense working state.
***
The next day, Yao Jiahong called.
"A Life of Love' has premiered. I told the production team that you were busy with your work, so you can't do any promotional activities."
Actually, knowing that she had just returned, Fu Xiuyuan was reluctant to let her go, so Yao Jiahong had already made arrangements.
Shi Jin was the female lead. If she didn't go for the roadshow, the others would have more important tasks. However, the rest of the cast and crew were willing to take on more roadshows and have more opportunities to show their faces, so they were naturally willing.
As it was Shi Jin's own movie, Fu Xiuyuan had bought tickets early in the morning and wanted to watch the first showing with her.
