CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 453 - 445: 4 Strikes Out

Here is the translated text:

Halftime Break

The fans left the venue, and the participants of the sports event began to eat.

Wu Zixuan and her group sat together, eating and chatting.

Originally, they could have eaten back in the dressing room, but Ye Yuwei suggested they eat together on the recording site instead.

The girls already knew about yesterday’s incident being leaked to the public.

However, none of them brought it up, and they still chatted and laughed as usual.

"Hello, Zixuan, I’m Chen Jianfeng, from the ’Super Sweet Duck Boy Band.’"

Hearing the name of the group, Lai Ruoxuan and a few others couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This company sure has a wild sense of naming!

Ye Yuwei, on the other hand, was familiar with this band. It was under the same company as Lan Yening.

"...Hello!" Wu Zixuan gave a perfunctory smile and immediately ignored him.

"I really liked your performance on the ’I Like You’ program. I’ve watched it so many times!"

Chen Jianfeng struck what he believed to be a handsome pose. He did have a decent physique with well-proportioned muscles and a tall stature.

"Oh!"

Wu Zixuan immediately understood his intentions. She had no interest in this mediocre wannabe.

Mentor Meng Meixuan scrutinized him for a moment and smirked disdainfully.

She noticed that despite being young, his eyes already showed dark lines — a clear sign of indulgence in excessive debauchery and possibly relying on medication to keep up now.

Lai Ruoxuan’s mood, however, soured. She felt furious that this idiot dared pull such stunts in public.

Wu Zixuan’s fans were idol fans, and if any misunderstandings arose among them, it could spell trouble.

"Zixuan, I think I need some fresh air." Lai Ruoxuan’s intent was to pull Wu Zixuan away from him.

Yet, Chen Jianfeng, confident in his own charm, misunderstood completely.

He thought this was an attempt to set up a private meeting with him!

"This athletic hall feels so stuffy; even the air conditioning isn’t helping!"

Lai Ruoxuan wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face in her anger.

At this moment, Ye Yuwei chimed in with a laugh, "Maybe we should hang out in the dressing room for a bit!"

Feeling equally disgusted by this annoying fly, Wu Zixuan grabbed Qiqi and left silently.

Of course, Chen Jianfeng knew the rules: the dressing room was off-limits to someone like him — a mere third-tier idol.

"Yezi, you were really brave. I..."

"Rainbow, I feel like having some warm water. Shall we go fetch some?"

Not waiting for his response, Ye Yuwei pulled Rainbow away decisively.

The others from "I Like You" dispersed too, leaving Chen Jianfeng simmering with anger and embarrassment.

There were people nearby watching all of this unfold, smirking at his humiliation.

Did he really think he could rely on his so-called "looks" to become the ideal guy for girls from "I Like You"?

They didn’t even spare him a glance.

That said, plenty of other guys still managed to strike up conversations with other girls.

Everyone there was good-looking — a rare gathering of such a beautiful crowd.

Under the effect of mutual attraction, many of them exchanged WeChat contacts.

Quite a few people tried to flirt with those from Galaxy Girl Group too.

However, under Lu Bingbing’s sharp gaze, none of the girls dared cross any boundaries.

Yu Qingjia was the most popular one here.

She was currently trending online, and her gentle, delicate looks resembled those of a picturesque scene from an ancient town in Jiangnan.

Wang Yiran also had plenty of admirers; her cool, aloof temperament resonated perfectly with some people’s taste.

"Shanshan, you look beautiful in a little white dress."

A female livestreamer with some fame online spoke warmly while hugging Lu Shanshan.

"Yours looks great too. Do you often participate in fashion shows like this?"

"Oh, absolutely! I’m primarily a fashion blogger. If you’re interested, I can recommend you for the National Fashion Ceremony next time."

"Ha-ha! Really? I’ve heard it’s hard to get in!"

"With my endorsement, it’s easy. My dad is one of the investors at the ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shanshan immediately looked at her new acquaintance in a different light.

It was often said that those who were successful in their circles were either wealthy or influential, and now it seemed true.

Xu Mengchen, meanwhile, also connected with a female livestreamer.

This livestreamer specialized in beauty and cosmetics, and the two were hitting it off, even discussing potential collaborations.

Lu Bingbing gazed at her "sisters."

One by one, they were getting caught up with all these outsiders.

But she couldn’t intervene; it wasn’t her place to stop them from socializing.

Besides, not all these people had malicious intentions.

After all, making connections was vital for expanding their reach beyond their circle.

Some of the girls were older and already considering their career paths after graduation.

And she wasn’t any different.

This circle often feels like it controls your fate.

After the setbacks they faced on the first day, the Galaxy girls had tactfully avoided the "I Like You" group.

Not only them, but others who had started from the same training base didn’t approach the "I Like You" group either, except for those who had made it to the Final 22.

Gao Ziyi didn’t go over either.

However, she often stared blankly at those 11 individuals.

If only she had gotten luckier back then, she would be the star of the show today.

Wu Zixuan and Qiqi were walking towards the athletic hall’s lounge when two assistants approached them.

"Why are you following us?"

"Mr. Zhou instructed us to. Unless it’s a public space, we need to stay close to you to prevent any accidents."

"How could there be an accident backstage?"

"There are people here who aren’t part of our team, including the original staff of the athletic hall. The concern is whether outsiders might be brought in."

After hearing this, the pair started feeling nervous too — especially with how recent incidents had been unfolding.

Outside the athletic hall, Lv Fangxin had just returned after rushing to film a variety show in the morning.

She had changed into her performance outfit directly at the recording site and entered the sports venue, searching for Ye Yuwei and the others.

"Where could these people have run off to?" She thought about making a call but realized her phone was left in the car.

Left with no choice, she sat down in the assigned area.

"Hi, Lv Fangxin, I’m Chen Jianfeng. I’ve seen all your performances."

This time, he was smart enough not to mention his group’s name.

Looking at him briefly, Lv Fangxin felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

She carefully glanced around to ensure the cameramen weren’t pointing their lenses her way and gave a lukewarm nod.

"Oh, you’ve just returned? I often have to record shows like this too."

Sitting on the step below hers, Chen Jianfeng continued speaking.

He figured this naive "country flower" would be easier to deceive. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

After all, she was just a pretty girl from the countryside with little exposure to real-world sophistication.

If he could win over this "dragon," his career would certainly soar overnight.

The thought fired him up even more.

"You don’t seem to wear jewelry often?" Chen Jianfeng remarked with a smile.

Glancing at the Bertud watch he deliberately showed off, Lv Fangxin couldn’t help but sneer internally.

Did he think she was one of those shallow girls?

Back when she first visited Chen Yinghan’s home...

The latter had opened up a private locker room filled with jewelry, luxury watches, haute couture, and designer bags for her to freely pick from.

But she hadn’t taken anything, stating that accepting would tarnish their friendship and change its essence.

And now, this nobody wanted to impress her with a lousy watch?

Completely uninterested, Lv Fangxin ignored him and instead turned to watch the people warming up on the field.

Undeterred, Chen Jianfeng thickened his skin and persisted: "What kind of hobbies do you have? Do you like playing mobile games? I have some premium gear!"

Lv Fangxin felt speechless and was about to get up when suddenly...

She felt something on her foot — Chen Jianfeng had placed his head on her foot while lying down!

Still keeping his body on the step, as it was a public setting, he muttered, "So tired!"

Finally unable to stand it any longer, Lv Fangxin got up abruptly and deliberately stepped away briskly.

Ah!

Chen Jianfeng let out a scream. She had stepped on his hand.

"...You!" Furious and gritting his teeth, all he could do was watch her stride away.

He looked around to see if anyone had noticed. Realizing the coast was clear, he slinked off sheepishly.

Feeling deeply embarrassed, he decided to wash his face in the restroom to snap out of it.

Suddenly, he saw a slim figure with long hair and delicate features walking out of the restroom.

The girl seemed hurried and slid on the floor, letting out a startled yelp before falling into the strong arms of someone who caught her.

"Are you okay?"

"No, I’m fine. Thank you."

"I’m Chen Jianfeng!"

"I’m Feng Duoduo, from the Galaxy Girl Group."

Feng Duoduo’s cheeks turned pink. Having never been close to a guy before, being saved like this stirred her emotions.

Seeing how handsome he was, paired with his slightly recognizable idol status, only made her feel more nervous.

Catching a flicker of excitement in his eyes, Chen Jianfeng thought, "If the ’I Like You’ girls are unreachable, this will do!"
