We will choose the ten contestants who will eventually perform on the central stage and the most important C position will be assigned based on your performance.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that, Zhang Li looked around, paused, and then added, &#8220;All the contestants are expected to step on the central stage and get position C, that is to say, if the players in the upper circle are lazy and don&#8217;t practice hard these days, they may be taken down. You are not safe.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When her words fell, the contestants in the upper circle, who had not taken it seriously at first, became alarmed. They had no idea that the competition system would be so cruel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang Li looked at them. Although her face was expressionless, she was very disappointed in her heart.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before making this program, she went to Korea and Japan specially to learn from them. Their idol market competition was very fierce and all trainees were trying their best to learn a new song and a dance within three days. It was a common practice for them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast, within the domestic market, the idol industry was not yet standardized, and their understanding of this niche was also very superficial. Coupled with the fans&#8217; tolerance for idols they had no sense of crisis at all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they continued to have this mentality and really entered this circle, the cruel reality would be too much for them to take.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a pity that even if Zhang Li said this to them now they wouldn&#8217;t take it seriously. So she simply didn&#8217;t say anything and used actions to teach them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Zhang Li left, the discussion at the scene was immediately opened.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yao Xuetong looked at Xia Shiyu and couldn&#8217;t help asking, &#8220;What are you going to do?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xia Shiyu didn\u2019t seem to panic, but calmly said, &#8220;What else? Practice, ah!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yao Xuetong wanted to say something more, but Tian Sisi dragged Lena and ran over to them. \u201cCaptain, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sister Xia, what are we going to do? How can I learn a dance in three days!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xia Shiyu stopped, turned around and asked, &#8220;Why can&#8217;t you learn?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Because\u2026.. Because&#8230; &#8221; Tian Sisi was stuck.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xia Shiyu looked at Lena again. \u201cYou also think you can&#8217;t learn?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lena gritted her teeth and said, &#8220;I have no problem with dancing, but I still have a problem with learning how to sing it. I think\u2026.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xia Shiyu sighed gently from the bottom of her heart. She didn&#8217;t know whether to envy them or to pity them. Although they practiced very hard on weekdays, they didn&#8217;t really feel the pressure, so their first reaction when they heard about the task was that they couldn&#8217;t do it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone thought Lena was very quick when it came to learning a new dance, that she was very talented. But nobody knew it was her own hard work.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In those days when Tang Wanjun had just joined the record company in order to get ahead, let alone learn a song in three days, she did it within one day and one night. People&#8217;s potential was infinite. When they were pushed to their limit, they could do anything.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xia Shiyu looked at them and explained slowly, \u201cIn the past when we were in the company, we only needed to complete tasks assigned by the teachers step by step, but if you want to get ahead in this circle, it&#8217;s not enough to only do what&#8217;s within the scope. Although it is just a test at present, it&#8217;s also an opportunity. As long as you work hard, you can stand out. What a lucky thing!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She was talking about her own perception. In her opinion, this era was very lucky. As long as she worked hard, she could be seen by others, unlike in her past life, when even if they were desperate, they would never be famous as long as they did not appear on stage.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lena knew that Xia Shiyu said this for their own good, but she couldn&#8217;t help saying, \u201cIt\u2019s easy to say so, but how can it be so easy to do?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xia Shiyu faintly said, &#8220;This is only the first hurdle and it will get more and more difficult later. If you can\u2019t even do this you&#8217;d better give up as soon as possible.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After that, she stopped wasting time with them, turned to leave the hall and went into the practice room for training.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lena was half-mad. &#8220;What did she mean?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yao Xuetong thoughtfully stopped Lena&#8217;s outburst. \u201cWhat she said is reasonable. You may work hard other times and may not be able to stand on the central stage. This is a good opportunity to stand out.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Captain!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yao Xuetong&#8217;s face sank. &#8220;Did you forget your goal? We&#8217;re here to make our debut! These years of sweat and tears were for the sake of such an opportunity. Now that this opportunity is in front of you, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you are not even willing to fight for it!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I&#8230;&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing their unconvinced appearance, Yao Xuetong shook her head in disappointment and followed Xia Shiyu in the practice room, leaving Lena and Tian Sisi behind.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tian Sisi held Lena&#8217;s hand in bewilderment. &#8220;Lena, what shall we do?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lena clenched her teeth. &#8220;Let&#8217;s go to practice, too. If Xia Shiyu can do it, I don&#8217;t believe we can&#8217;t!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When they spoke before, they didn\u2019t lower their voices, and most of the girls next to them heard it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The original complaints become much smaller. Many people followed them to the practice room, and the hall was soon empty.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang Li sat in the studio and watched the video sent back from the camera. Her face was much better than before. &#8220;I thought they would have to suffer some more setbacks before they learned it, but now it seems that these girls are quite motivated.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The director laughed. &#8220;Yes, but it&#8217;s still thanks to Sister Zhang&#8217;s vision. This Xia Shiyu is really suitable for our program.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At his words, Zhang Li looked at Xia Shiyu in the practice room. Compared with other girls with dance foundation, Xia Shiyu&#8217;s movements were much rustier, but she was smart and learned quickly. After memorizing the movements, she practiced silently by herself, making progress at the speed visible to the naked eye.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang Li&#8217;s eyes fell on her, and then unexpectedly she thought of another person &#8211; Ye Cang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he was in the knockout stage of &#8220;Star of Tomorrow&#8221;, she didn&#8217;t have a clear impression of Ye Cang, only remembering that beautiful face. After entering the top ten, Ye Cang changed his agent and it was almost like he changed his personality too. Step by step, he reached the position she had to look up at now.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking at the artists in Shen Huai&#8217;s hands, they were all so talented, as if they were born to shine.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking of this, she sighed and said to the director, &#8220;Where do I have any vision? I&#8217;m just lucky to know a boss with a good vision.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the next few days, the contestants started practicing the theme song day and night.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai naturally wasn&#8217;t idle either during this period of time. After finding out the truth about Xia Shiyu, he continued to deal with Huayue while letting his people bribe some people from Huayue.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In recent years, the reason why An Yuanjie had been able to climb to the top of Huayue step by step was Feng Yankai, Huayue&#8217;s president. Feng Yankai was good to An Yuanjie, but An Yuanjie was greedy. He used Huayue&#8217;s resources to fill his own pockets and no one knew how much money had been embezzled due to his greed. But, because of Feng Yankai&#8217;s trust in him, he bribed several key figures, so even if someone knew about it, no one dared to talk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past, when Huayue was in full swing, Feng Yankai would not care too much even if he knew about it. At most, he would warn An Yuanjie making him stay low for a short period of time, and then it would be a thing of the past. But now Huayue was in a difficult situation. Feng Yankai was worried every day, just like a bucket of fireworks that could set off at any moment. An Yuanjie was afraid that he would no longer be able to walk away with his pockets full.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuanjie himself knew that Huayue had reached its most dangerous time. However, in the recent period, instead of reining in, he became more and more rampant.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuanjie thought he was careful and didn&#8217;t leave any traces, but he didn&#8217;t know that Shen Huai had been watching him for a long time and wanted to give him a big &#8220;gift&#8221;.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai looked at the drama inside Huayue with a smile on his face, but didn&#8217;t intend to stop there. He stared intently at the computer screen and gave orders.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was not until he had finished all this that he started dealing with his daily work.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other side of his office, Ye Cang was wearing earphones <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and writing on a sheet of paper with a pen in his hand.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His promotion had come to an end. At present, he had nothing else but the work related to &#8220;National Idol&#8221;, so he could finally write a song quietly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since Ming Wei discovered the relationship between the two of them and Shen Huai said that he would make it public someday, Ye Cang completely opened up by simply moving his workplace directly to Shen Huai&#8217;s office.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of them were busy, one with his work and the other concentrated on writing songs. No one disturbed the other, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which seemed very<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> harmonious.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ye Cang wrote for a while and felt tired. He took off his earphones and stretched.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His sitting position was next to Shen Huai, so he could see his profile.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai&#8217;s hair seemed to be a little longer, and strands of hair were hanging down on his forehead. He was absorbed in his work and didn\u2019t notice it, making Ye Cang a little itchy. He wanted to fix it for him, so he simply stood up and walked towards Shen Huai.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pen in Shen Huai&#8217;s hand hadn&#8217;t stopped for a long time. He was not dead, he could sense it when someone stared at him for a long time. He heard Ye Cang&#8217;s footsteps and turned his face sideways. &#8220;You\u2026..&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ye Cang&#8217;s fingers intended to pull the strand of hair for him, but Shen Huai turned his head suddenly and almost knocked his glasses off his face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai grasped his wrist in time and said helplessly, &#8220;What are you doing?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ye Cang acted very innocently. &#8220;I think your hair has grown a little longer. I just wanted to fix it for you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was only then that Shen Huai noticed the naughty strand of hair on his forehead and realized that he had misunderstood Ye Cang. A little embarrassed, he apologized in a low voice and made an excuse of pouring coffee to cover up his embarrassment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai took advantage of the time needed to make coffee, and finally calmed down. Recently, Ye Cang had finished his promotion work and had nothing to do but write songs every day. As a result he was full of energy at night, which deprived Shen Huai of sleep these days, so he unconsciously became a little sensitive.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai walked towards Ye Cang with two cups of coffee, but the familiar dizziness appeared again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai&#8217;s gaze darkened, and his whole person staggered for a few steps. The coffee cups in his hands fell directly on the ground, and the hot coffee splashed on the ground leaving a stain.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ye Cang quickly jumped up from his seat and rushed over to hold Shen Huai.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Are you alright?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><br \/>Edited by : LuLu<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Proofreader: Taalia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this moment, the girls in &#8220;National Idol&#8221; &#8216;s training camp didn&#8217;t know their approval ratings because their mobile phones were confiscated.
