LITTLE SEA OTTER BECAME POPULAR 93

Chapter 93

Despite Nina’s pale face on screen, her fans were oblivious to her condition. They saw the barrage of audience screams and cheers on the screen and immediately began to counter in the comments section.

“There are so many guests; there’s no need to speak so early. Be careful not to embarrass yourself later.”

Apart from the fans of the guests, there were also fans of the variety show. These viewers were surprised to see Nina’s fans making sarcastic remarks and started questioning with question marks in the comments section.

“???”

“It’s funny! We praise who we want. Are some people overstepping their boundaries?”

“Everyone is a guest on the show. Why can’t we praise Qiao Dai for performing well?”

Ignoring them, Nina’s fans knew they were at a disadvantage and could only indignantly try to defend their position in the comments. They argued that the senior figures in the circle hadn’t performed yet, so could Qiao Dai, a newcomer, really outshine all the guests of the ice project? They suspected it was because of a poor performance that the show arranged for Qiao Dai to perform first.

“Besides adding some water elements, the overall style is not unrelated to Nina’s previous stages; it’s exactly the same.”

“I thought it would be more stunning, but it turned out to be just reheating old dishes. Senior Nina, when will you break free from your old idol persona?”

Some of Nina’s fans also found themselves speechless after her performance.

Truthfully, when Nina returned from overseas, claiming she wanted to start from scratch, her fans were genuinely happy, hoping more people would recognize her. However, as time passed, they grew tired of the repetitive performances, feeling an increasing emptiness inside.

They thought Nina truly wanted a fresh start, but it seemed they were gravely mistaken. It was still the old routine, the old style, indistinguishable from her previous stages overseas.

Perhaps it was the fans’ unmet expectations or the impact of several negative news, but after the broadcast of “Idol All-Stars,” Nina’s reputation did not improve, and she even lost some fans. Although it was not apparent externally due to the management company’s efforts, the internal staff were well aware of the situation.

“What’s going on with Nina? Knowing she would be like this, it would have been better to promote some newcomers like Sheng Shi did!”

The company’s executives were infuriated, feeling that despite their efforts to cultivate her, the response was not as good as the newcomers promoted by Sheng Shi, which was frustrating.

Despite their internal complaints about Nina’s lack of effort, they still had to grit their teeth and help her secure a spot in the re-election. Otherwise, all their previous investments would have been in vain.

Before the re-election results were announced, the internet was flooded with press releases about Nina, overshadowing everyone else with her presence, making it dizzying and overwhelming for the viewers.

That’s when people noticed Qiao Dai’s absence.

Since the broadcast of “Idol All-Stars,” there had been a noticeable lack of news about Qiao Dai online.

Whether it was advertisements, variety shows, or other resources, even when other members of the eleven girls group appeared, Qiao Dai was nowhere to be seen, causing fans to speculate.

Could this be a sign of a solo departure or contract termination?

Sensing the gossip, marketing accounts quickly started writing various articles online, questioning whether Qiao Dai’s recent absence was due to plans to go solo from the eleven girls group and negotiate a contract termination with Sheng Shi.

These Details Reveal the Real Relationships Among the Members of Eleven Girls

The announcement date for the re-selection is just around the corner, and the news of a potential contract termination, whether for Eleven Girls or for Qiao Dai, undoubtedly spells severe negative publicity for both.

For Nina’s team, this could not have been better news. If this incident causes Eleven Girls and Qiao Dai to lose both the group and individual awards, it would be a huge windfall for them.

However, their joy lasted no more than two seconds before the members of Eleven Girls quickly responded.

“Daidai has not terminated her contract, thank you.”

“Who’s spreading rumors? We just had boiled fish together a few days ago!”

Those who hoped to see a downfall were disappointed, yet some remained skeptical, thinking there must be a rift between Qiao Dai and her teammates, or why else would there be no news of her for so many days?

It was at this moment that Jiang Fengchi suddenly posted on Weibo.

“Jiang Fengchi: Sorry to Eleven Girls for the trouble caused.”

This post only added to the confusion among the onlookers.

Trouble? What trouble does Jiang Fengchi have to do with Qiao Dai and Eleven Girls?

Curiosity piqued among the netizens, who then rushed to the Weibo pages of the Eleven Girls members, finding them engaging in what seemed like cryptic exchanges online. This only made the netizens itch with curiosity, wishing they could directly confront them to understand what was going on.

“Ah, I hate people who speak in riddles!”

“What does it all mean? I’m breaking my head here.”

“Could it be that Teacher Jiang and our Daidai are participating in an event together?”

After much speculation, fans concluded that the most plausible explanation was that Jiang Fengchi and Qiao Dai were attending an event together. Otherwise, why would Jiang Fengchi mention Eleven Girls and apologize for causing trouble?

This somewhat relieved the fans. Thankfully, it wasn’t about going solo or any discord, just participation in an event.

However, another question arose—what event could be so secretive?

Faced with the fans’ inquiries, Jiang Fengchi simply smiled and said, “You’ll know soon.”

That day, Qiao Dai reappeared on her long-silent social media account.

“Qiao Dai: I am here.”

The location tagged in the post was the Capital Gymnasium.

Almost immediately, some people grasped the underlying meaning.

Following this, the official Weibo account of the Winter Olympics posted the latest news.

“Winter Olympics Official Weibo: Dream with youth, walk with the Winter Olympics.”

The accompanying image featured several young ambassadors, including Jiang Fengchi and Qiao Dai.

The announcement quickly caused a sensation online.

“Ah, this is too awesome!”

“OMG, it’s Daidai, our Daidai has made it big!”

Qiao Dai’s fans were ecstatic, having not expected that their Daidai would quietly secure the position of an ambassador for the Winter Olympics.

The Winter Olympics! Being an ambassador for the Winter Olympics is an unparalleled honor for any celebrity.

Indeed, there has always been a desire to encourage young idols to promote a national trend of physical activity and embody the spirit of sports. Hence, many sports-related variety shows have recently emerged to select candidates for the Winter Olympics Youth Ambassadors from among their participants.

This was a challenging task until they noticed Qiao Dai.

This young lady has been a hot topic since her debut, whether it was her initial “Stepping on Water,” the recent Bamboo Raft Dance, or the Ice Dance in the just-concluded “Idol All-Stars,” all of which were eye-catching.

In her, they saw a blend of youthful idols and traditional culture.

Admittedly, there are many stars in the entertainment industry with more experience than Qiao Dai, but they could find no one else quite like her.

After careful consideration, they decided to include Qiao Dai’s name on the list of ambassadors for the Winter Olympics.

Thus, Qiao Dai became the youngest among the batch of celebrity ambassadors.

The fans were so excited they were beyond words.

No one worried anymore about Qiao Dai’s disappearance from the public eye affecting the re-selection results, because everyone’s attention was firmly captured by the seven words “Winter Olympics Ambassador.”

Undoubtedly, for any star, this is an unmatched honor.

And now, Qiao Dai has achieved it!
