CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 379 - 371: Becoming Someone

Qiu Fan read this article twice before she finally understood what it meant.

The more she pondered over it, the more she realized it was right—would her idol truly thrive under Yuehua’s management?

Feeling anxious, she spoke in the support group openly as a big fan, urging everyone not to casually comment on Yang Ni fainting. Yang Ni had a very good relationship with Meng Meixuan and Jiang Mengqi.

Coincidentally, Wu Zixuan’s fan group also said the same thing.

However, the extreme, irrational fans of Yang Ni were few, and they gradually understood the situation.

This time, the big ship stepped forward proactively to clarify the incident, not only to address the issue but also to stop fan wars.

Jiang Mengqi also released a statement with an explanation:

"On the last pose, I already realized Yang Ni was struggling. We all know she has poor health, but just like the captain said, even if it were anyone else, stumbling on stage, they would still join for the release of this debut EP.

This is sacred for us; it is one of the most important milestones in our careers.

I was the first one to assist Yang Ni because I know that feeling—the one where you push yourself to your limit until you reach the finish line and suddenly want to let go of everything just to rest.

But my strength wasn’t enough to lift her. At that moment, I also didn’t manage my facial expressions well, habitually keeping the corners of my mouth lifted, so I hope you don’t misunderstand.

Yang Ni means a lot to me, and to each of us in Tian Ou Girls.

Since many people were watching on-site, the statement was written by Jiang Mengqi herself.

The purpose was to make it clear that it wasn’t coming from a PR team.

However, the statement still had to go through review before being published.

Yang Ni also released a statement, saying that she and Jiang Mengqi are close friends.

Because there was fans’ on-site footage, aside from some ill-intentioned individuals and extremely irrational fans, the majority accepted the explanation.

Hospital

Yang Ni lay on the hospital bed, and to avoid rumors from paparazzi, visits from others were not allowed.

She felt like her body had truly given out.

She had never felt this terrible before. Back when she was in her hometown, she was a member of her school’s swim team, always confident in her good health. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After being hospitalized, friends from the training base even sent her well-wishes.

What surprised her the most was that Lin Jiayi, Su Ruiqi, and Liu Niannian came to visit her.

It made her feel both excited and happy—it seemed she had truly made lots of friends.

Villa

The expressions of Ye Yuwei and the others were not great, carrying a sense of deep exhaustion.

"Yuwei, it was all thanks to you this time for stabilizing the scene," Zhou Dan said to Ye Yuwei with a smile.

"At the time, it was just a rush of thought—I figured that since the poster had me in the center position, I should step up and take responsibility." Ye Yuwei answered confidently.

"Today, you took on the responsibility so well that it’s given me hope for this group," Zhou Dan said fervently, lamenting that she didn’t manage to sign such a talented artist.

The others all looked at Ye Yuwei with envy—her performance today had absolutely shone.

At the time, they had been in complete shock and didn’t know how to react.

Lai Ruoxuan’s envy had a hint of bitterness in it. In truth, she had wanted to compete for the captain position because she had led teams before.

But in the final performance during the group formation night, her performance hadn’t been great.

Once, she left everyone and went back to her room to cry for an entire afternoon, convinced she wouldn’t make the debut lineup.

At the time, Lai Ruoxuan was under immense pressure—she had depression, which was flaring up during that period, though she hadn’t shared it with anyone.

This left a blemish on her record, coupled with her low ranking. She hadn’t believed she could compete against Meixuan. But after the latter left, her ambitions rekindled.

Yet today, even a blind person would clearly see that Ye Yuwei was unmistakably the captain of this group.

"Even though there were issues on stage, our launch event today was still a success."

"Don’t worry about Yang Ni’s side; the company is sending people to take care of it."

Zhou Dan encouraged everyone: "Get some rest early; we have activities tomorrow."

Ye Yuwei returned to her room, just about to rest when Jiang Mengqi knocked and came in.

"Yezi, I can’t sleep."

"Then let’s chat for a bit."

"I won’t be bothering you, will I?"

"Not at all—I actually feel like I can’t sleep myself."

Ye Yuwei said as she prepared a cup of mint tea for her.

As the room filled with a fresh fragrance, Jiang Mengqi’s cute face looked like an angel burdened by heavy thoughts.

"Yezi, I feel so tired... both physically and emotionally."

"Rainbow, you really don’t need to dwell on today’s events. It’s just people with ulterior motives stirring things up—everyone knows you’re innocent."

Ye Yuwei reached out a hand and patted hers as a gesture of comfort.

Rainbow sighed deeply:

"I know, but I still feel awful inside."

"Today, I saw something written by a Yang Ni fan to her."

Ye Yuwei quietly watched Jiang Mengqi, listening to her soft, rice-like voice as she spoke slowly.

"She said she’s a life-long fan of Yang Ni."

"Even if Yang Ni went back home to become a tour guide, she’d still follow her with her backpack."

"She said she loves Yang Ni’s dreams, her bravery, and her beautiful face and deeply charming soul."

At this point, Jiang Mengqi laughed and cried, her crescent-moon-like eyes glistening with tears.

"You know, back at the base, Yang Ni experienced such vicious malice. She’s fighting so hard now to prove herself to everyone."

Ye Yuwei couldn’t help but say, "Rainbow, I know what you mean—you feel guilty that you were used as a tool that caused harm to Yang Ni again."

Jiang Mengqi nodded, unable to hold back her tears.

"Rainbow, at the end of the day, we’re just the company’s products."

"I wish we could be angels spreading our wings—singing and dancing joyfully on stage, resting when we’re tired, savoring food together. But that’s only possible after we truly gain control over our own destinies."

Ye Yuwei said this, her eyes filled with helplessness too.

Without the company, they wouldn’t have the fame they had today. But the company wasn’t a charity—it needed returns, and they had no choice but to become money-making machines.

"Yuwei, I feel much better now; I just really needed to talk to someone."

"If you need, you can always come find me."

"Okay! Yuwei, could you check on Qiqi? She’s not in a good state."

Ye Yuwei nodded, already aware of Lai Ruoxuan’s heavy-hearted nature.

Once Jiang Mengqi left, Ye Yuwei couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

She was busy guiding others, but who would help resolve her own troubles?

Still, since she had chosen to be this group’s captain, she had to shoulder the responsibility and couldn’t back out.

Thinking of this, Ye Yuwei suddenly realized that she was very much like Lu Bingbing.

The head captain was also like this—soft-spoken, empathetic, always able to touch the softest parts of her teammates’ hearts with simple words, like a ray of light piercing through the darkness.

"Captain Bingbing, it seems I’m about to become you," Ye Yuwei remarked with a bitter smile.

Picking up the still-warm mint tea, she let its fresh aroma flow through her heart.
