CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 300 - 293: Climbing Ladder Event

Galaxy

Shen Xing never expected that this attempt to attack Ye Yuwei would ultimately fail.

Li Jiaqi’s refusal to betray Ye Yuwei was something he had foreseen.

Still, holding onto the "what if" mindset, it was worth a try.

Moreover, once the matter began, it was impossible not to involve Li Jiaqi.

His plan was that once the incident exploded, he would summon Li Jiaqi back and then isolate him in the name of closed training, cutting off all communication.

The company could then use Li Jiaqi’s public social media account under its control to post vague insinuations, accompanied by pre-prepared photos.

Although the fakeness would eventually be exposed, two to three days of brewing would be enough—after all, voting for those six songs was closing at 5 PM today.

Galaxy simply wanted to ensure Ye Yuwei wouldn’t get that C-position.

But unexpectedly, Ye Yuwei’s fans weren’t shaken at all, and in the final moments, they cast over 300,000 votes, stubbornly securing her C-position.

Galaxy had originally gone to great lengths to secure "Tears of the Wheel of Destiny" for Lu Bingbing.

Never had they imagined that Zhang Zijing’s team would act as if possessed, disregarding everyone else’s voting numbers and pouring in double the money.

Everyone at Galaxy had been rallying with all their might to help Lu Bingbing win the C-position.

But who would’ve thought that someone would leak a photo in Galaxy’s pocket—a clear capture of Shen Xing walking out of a hotel, with a caption that explained the photo showed him meeting with Li Jiaqi.

To make the story even more convincing, the leaker included additional photos—registration forms proving Li Jiaqi’s stay at the hotel.

That instantly ignited Galaxy’s entire back garden.

Given Ye Yuwei’s situation today, everyone could guess what was going on.

Even though "Galaxy fans" didn’t like Ye Yuwei, she was still part of Galaxy. Even if she wasn’t, employing such dirty tactics would remain deeply contemptible.

Today it’s Ye Yuwei; tomorrow it could be anyone else.

Embarrassed, Galaxy immediately came forward to explain, claiming that Shen Xing had only visited Li Jiaqi on official business.

But no one believed such blatant lies.

The once-energetic Galaxy fans, who had been fired up for a decisive fight, suddenly lost their drive.

Only Lu Bingbing’s fans persisted, releasing statements claiming they believed the company’s explanation.

Their statement was met with widespread ridicule among the back-garden fans.

Then things grew even worse.

The so-called ex-teammate who had exposed Ye Yuwei was identified—and it turned out to be "Li Li."

Soon after, an article surfaced across all platforms, recounting how Yang Yan had been expelled from the company.

It described how she once wore an idol uniform, snuck into another idol’s dormitory, and forced the latter to watch her commit a disgusting act with a threatening implement.

To prove the person in question was indeed Li Li, the poster shared screenshots of WeChat conversations between Li Li and a close friend in Galaxy, along with evidence of money transfers.

This revelation shook all of Galaxy, exposing the horrifying story.

At the time, many had thought Li Li had simply stolen items from the idol—but no one had anticipated such an earth-shattering scandal.

Now, no one cared about Lu Bingbing; instead, they unanimously demanded the company provide an explanation.

Shen Xing was stunned; he never expected the opponent would know so much about the company’s inner workings or possess so much concrete evidence.

He even suspected this was a trap laid by Li Jiaqi. But no matter how he mulled it over, the theory didn’t add up.

Li Jiaqi himself didn’t have such influence; there were certain things he could never have gotten his hands on.

Furious, Chairman Mu ordered a thorough investigation of all the company staff.

Especially regarding the authenticity of the WeChat screenshots.

Galaxy quickly sent out a lawyer’s letter, calling the posts fake and threatening legal consequences for the poster.

Of course, this was merely lip service.

Galaxy had no idea if the opponent truly held definitive evidence.

As Galaxy turned upside down, Xiao Du couldn’t help but feel fortunate.

His confidence in overturning the situation stemmed from the fact that a mysterious individual had provided him with those screenshot materials.

Initially, he had doubted their authenticity and had personally sent someone to investigate Li Li’s residence.

Following further targeted responses, Xiao Du had Mu Yunchu acquire a marketing company in advance, allowing them to execute an effective counterattack immediately.

Though the window of time was short, it was sufficient.

Simultaneously, Xiao Du was shocked by Yuehua’s direct intervention in securing the song for Meng Meixuan.

Yuehua even came forward personally, dumping over 400,000 votes into the tally.

In the final second before the voting channels closed, the production team also rigged votes for Meng Meixuan, pushing her total to more than 10,000 votes higher than Ye Yuwei’s.

This left Ye Yuwei’s support group, which had spent over 1.7 million, powerless to turn the situation around. In reality, Xiao Du’s voting crew still had over 50,000 "hidden votes" saved for emergencies.

But the production team’s underhandedness was simply vile—the voting channel for Ye Yuwei closed three seconds earlier than Meng Meixuan’s. This tiny timing difference determined the final outcome.

Xiao Du was fuming at this point; he refused to believe he couldn’t bring down Meng Meixuan.

He vowed to see whose backing was stronger—anointed royalty or grassroots democracy.

Sitting in a luxurious hall, Zhang Yuzhe monitored the information pouring in from the back garden and all online platforms.

The messages Xiao Du had received were all sent by him.

He was incensed by Galaxy’s preferential treatment of Li Jiaqi.

But he couldn’t confront them directly, so he retaliated through these manipulative means.

This was his perfect dual-purpose plan.

Not only did he vent his fury, but he also increased the likelihood that Galaxy would shelve Li Jiaqi. If the latter’s acting career were cut short, Zhang Yuzhe would finally have a chance to win over the enchanting beauty he’d long coveted.

"Qiang, add another 500,000 votes for Ye Yuwei’s support group," Zhang Yuzhe said, pushing aside his laptop and lighting an expensive cigar.

"Got it!"

Li Qiang was puzzled; wasn’t the boss infatuated with Galaxy’s idol? Why was he suddenly interested in someone else?

However, he would never ask such questions—inquiring in this organization could easily lead to disaster.

Zhang Yuzhe exhaled a puff of smoke, which veiled his face in faint wisps, making it hard to discern his expressions.

Another key fan in Ye Yuwei’s support group was, in fact, him—or rather, someone he directed to pose as a fan.

His purpose for funding Ye Yuwei’s votes so extravagantly was to propel her to stardom.

Once someone gains fame and status, old friends might no longer remain friends. Jealousy could morph previous allies into adversaries eager to outshine one another.

Zhang Yuzhe hoped to sow seeds of jealousy in Li Jiaqi’s heart, because even a subtle shift in this dynamic could slowly widen the cracks, presenting opportunities for him to exploit.

Li Ke’s home 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Li Ke, busy casting votes, suddenly received a link from someone responsible for monitoring the show’s website 24/7.

This person’s job was to notify the lead fans of any breaking updates immediately.

Clicking the link, Li Ke read: "That’s right, the cutest idol girls will be participating in the Doki Community’s Big Staircase event."

"What the heck? Makes no sense. What even is this Doki Community?"

Not usually interested in such things, Li Ke had no idea it was a virtual social platform.

This platform was designed for stars and fans to interact—just Tencent’s version of "Pocket."

But it was utterly useless; fans didn’t use it as all the celebrities were livestreaming on Douyin, and this app had failed to gain traction.

Still, since it was a Tencent product, they persisted in promoting it.

This so-called "Doki Community Big Staircase" offline event was simply a fan meet-and-greet under this banner.

Li Ke read further:

"Doki Community" offline event—the top 11 idol girls will participate this time.

Offline, Doki Community will offer special C-position tickets and front-row queen seats.

Fans who want to interact with the idols up close, ride together in the Doki exclusive vehicle to the event venue, and enjoy other perks must climb the ranking ladder by contributing and reaching specific levels of ’achievements.’

This event allows fans to participate fully—Doki Community will gather their opinions on what they want to see, play, or hear and create all possible conditions to meet those preferences.

Seeing the list of perks tied to spending, Li Ke silently cursed under his breath.

"This is just blatant exploitation—everything requires money, and then it’s all about competing."

He instantly lost interest; such activities had no substance or value.

He’d rather save money and put it into voting efforts—that was the real deal.

Of course, he wouldn’t prevent others from attending; his guess was that few fans would bother showing up anyway.
