Wen Shanshan wanted to explain, but Sheng Ziyou made her so angry that her brain short-circuited and she had no idea how to explain.
Before she could organize her words, Sheng Ziyou had already started to fulfill her obligations –
“I only have one vote, and I’m giving it to one of the students in the dance group tonight.”
Lin Yidong blinked his deer eyes and stared at her closely.
Sheng Ziyou looked over, then looked away for a moment and slowly opened her mouth: “Jing Xianglei.”
Jing Xianglei, who was voted for, was stunned and dumbfounded. The students next to him quickly pushed him.
Jing Xianglei finally came to his senses and bowed in thanks with a confused look on his face.
Wasn’t Sheng Ziyou’s vote… cast for Lin Yidong?
All the students were stunned, and Wen Shanshan was also dumbfounded.
Didn’t Sheng Ziyou support Lin Yidong the most? Why did she give the ticket to Jing Xianglei?
Lin Yidong was dazed at first, and then his eyes turned red. Fortunately, his position was not good and no one noticed.
Sheng Ziyou did not explain why she voted for Jing Xianglei but Ran Youqing who came next helped explain it for her.
Ran Youqing picked up the microphone and said directly without leaving any suspense: “Teacher Sheng and I have the same decision, Jing Xianglei.”
Then, Ran Youqing explained: “I think the best performer in the dance group tonight was Jing Xianglei, and the best performer in the vocal group was Feng Yuanxuan. One is a dance group, and the other is a vocal group, so there is no comparison, but I chose Jing Xianglei because I couldn’t bear to let him go. He is really excellent and amazing, and I couldn’t bear to let him leave, so between the two equally good people, I chose Jing Xianglei. Feng Yuanxuan, you are really really great, but I’m sorry tonight.”
Feng Yuanxuan waved his hands quickly: “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
He really didn’t feel that bad. Jing Xianglei was indeed capable. The greatest significance of the mentors’ votes was to professionally judge the level of the students. Ran Youqing acknowledged his level, so it didn’t matter who he voted for.
Sheng Ziyou nodded. Obviously, she and Ran Youqing had the same opinion.
The last mentor was Xiang Yuan. He picked up the microphone and smiled: “Feng Yuanxuan and Jing Xianglei are indeed very good, but there are not enough votes.”
He paused and said, “If there is only one vote, I will give it to Gu Yuzheng. His voice is not the most amazing, but his overall strength is very strong. Your group has few dance moves, and almost all the big moves are done by you, but you still sing so steadily. Moreover, you are the center, but you are willing to give the important part to the brother you trust. My vote is for you.”
Gu Yuzheng bowed.
After the mentors cast their four votes, Qu Feng explained once more how to vote, and the performance of this qualifying round officially ended.
After leaving the venue, the bus took the students back to the training building, and the instructors could go back or not.
Sheng Ziyou went back because she still had something to deal with.
Sure enough, Lin Yidong, still wearing a black shirt, was leaning against the door of her room with his legs hugged.
Sheng Ziyou breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she was the first mentor to come back, and also glad that the other mentors’ cars drove in another direction.
She approached and footsteps sounded. Lin Yidong then looked up with red eyes.
Sheng Ziyou walked over and Yang Yun tactfully left for the time being.
“What’s wrong?” Sheng Ziyou asked softly.
Lin Yidong stood up and looked at her without saying a word, with a look of grievance on his face.
“Is it because I didn’t vote for you tonight?”
Lin Yidong still didn’t say anything. It was obvious that he came to her as soon as he came back. He didn’t even change his clothes and his makeup was smudged.
“Lin Yidong, do you think you dance better than Jing Xianglei? I said before that I would guarantee your advancement, and now I am sure that you will stay after this game, so why should I vote for you?” Lin Yidong was young, so when Sheng Ziyou faced him, it was always like looking at a younger brother, or… a son?
Lin Yidong hurriedly shook his head: “No… I am… I am…”
Sheng Ziyou looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
“I just want your recognition!” Lin Yidong didn’t know why he felt so aggrieved, but he felt so uncomfortable in his heart.
“Haven’t I always said that you are very good? You are my student, Jing Xianglei is also my student, and all the other students are also my students. I treat you as my younger brother and will be more partial to you, so I usually teach you more and am willing to call you more often. But I am still a mentor, a mentor who should treat every student fairly.” Sheng Ziyou’s expression was a little serious.
“No, I…”
“Okay, go back and think about it. You are all tired tonight, so go to bed early.” Sheng Ziyou said in a firm voice.
Lin Yidong looked at her, a little dazed. Her performance was serious, just like the dean who had caught him skipping class before.
After a moment, he nodded and walked away with red eyes.
Sheng Ziyou looked at his back and sighed slightly.
When Lin Yidong took the elevator to the student dormitory floor, he saw Gu Yuzheng leaning against the door and looking at him quietly.
His eyes became even redder.
“Brother Zheng…”
“You went to find Sheng Ziyou?”
Lin Yidong didn’t say anything, almost agreeing.
“Didn’t you say this morning that you regarded her as a goddess? Then why are you sad?” Gu Yuzheng’s voice was low, calm and steady.
Lin Yidong burst into tears. Gu Yuzheng reached out and pulled him over, went into the room and closed the door.
This could not be seen by other students!
Then he found that Lin Yidong was hugging him and crying.
Ji Ran struggled to get up. Gu Yuzheng looked back at him and said, “Don’t move. You’re just a little brat struck with possessiveness. Just cry for a while.”
“Woo, why did she vote for Jing Xianglei?!”
Gu Yuzheng was about to comfort him, but then he heard Lin Yidong say –
“Is Jing Xianglei as cute as me? Is Jing Xianglei as obedient as me?!”
Gu Yuzheng: “…”
After a moment, he said helplessly: “You are the cutest and the most obedient. But Yidong, Sheng Ziyou is a mentor and you are one of her students. It is better for you to keep a distance from each other in the future. Don’t go to her casually like this. If someone sees you, you will not only hurt yourself, but also her.”
Lin Yidong stopped crying all of a sudden and looked up: “Ah? I don’t want to hurt her… Teacher Sheng is so nice… She’s like my sister…”
Ji Ran also understood what was going on and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: “Yidong is just a child, full of emotions. Just because you have a good relationship with Teacher Sheng, can’t she vote for someone else? What a weird possessiveness you have.”
Gu Yuzheng also laughed: “I almost thought he really fell in love with Sheng Ziyou. I was shocked. It turns out he is just a little brat.”
Lin Yidong glared: “I just like Teacher Sheng, you are not much older than me, don’t call me a brat!”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Gu Yuzheng shrugged, looked at Ji Ran, and they both smiled.
Lin Yidong wiped his tears with his sleeves, stopped crying, clenched his fists, and made up his mind: “I must work hard! Next time when Teacher Sheng votes, she must vote for me!”
Ji Ran: “…”
Gu Yuzheng: “…your makeup is smudged.”
“Ah——” Lin Yidong was so scared that he ran to the toilet.
After a while, screams were heard from inside.
Gu Yuzheng shook his head and walked closer to Ji Ran: “Take a leave to go to the hospital tomorrow. Anyway, it’s a temporary holiday. The recording will start tomorrow night. You suddenly fell to the ground today and it was scary. If you don’t go and check it out, you might even die.”
Ji Ran was a little reluctant: “Didn’t I stand up later? It’s just that I jumped too hard today. I just need to rest for a day or two.”
Lin Yidong poked his head out of the bathroom with foam all over his face. “No, Ji Ran, you have to go to the hospital. Let the production team make arrangements.”
“You’re not sad anymore?” Ji Ran was helpless.
Lin Yidong replied: “I suddenly remembered that Teacher Sheng said that she treated me as her own brother and would be more partial to me. It seems that I am not sad anymore. After all, she doesn’t treat Jing Xianglei as her brother!”
Ji Ran rolled his eyes: “…What a child.”
“Go see a doctor tomorrow!!”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
After Lin Yidong left, Sheng Ziyou removed her makeup and went to bed early.
The next morning, after waking up and putting on makeup, Yang Yun took her to the company.
Zhao Jing was sitting in the car, flipping through something and talking to Sheng Ziyou.
“When will the show we recorded last night be broadcast?”
“It will be broadcast tonight and will be updated every Saturday.”
She had a rough idea of what the main film would look like, they would edit the performances a bit, and then insert the results from the previous night and the practice room videos of the previous students into the film before each group of students went on stage, piecing them together to form the main film for each week.
“Oh, okay.” Zhao Jing nodded, and the car fell into silence.
Yang Yun was sitting behind the two of them and leaned over when she heard this: “I’ve been reading the comments online recently and found that Sister You’s comments have improved a lot, and her fans are also continuing to grow. After the full video is broadcast tonight, Sister You’s fans will definitely increase!”
Yang Yun was very excited. She blushed and her heart beat fast when she saw Sheng Ziyou’s look last night. It would definitely attract a lot of fans when it was broadcasted!
Zhao Jing also nodded and said, “Don’t worry about whether you are a vase or not. The entertainment industry has always been like this. It all starts with appearance. They have to be interested in you first, and then they will slowly be attracted to you. Of course, you are too good-looking. Even if you have proven your ability, the word “vase” will still appear in the mouths of anti-fans.”
Sheng Ziyou nodded nonchalantly, not caring at all.
In her original world, even when she was at her peak, there were haters who would jump out and scold her for relying on her looks to hang out with rich men.
Only after she regretfully retired from the circle did no one say anything to her anymore.
Being controversial was also a symbol of redness.
After all…those who scold you may not really think you are bad. They may be haters or fans of your competitors.
Zhao Jing nodded with satisfaction. The more she got along with this artist, the more she felt that she was to her liking.
It was as if… they were born to work together.
Huayao.
“Oh, Jiaoqian is here too!” Xiao Yu walked in with a smile.
Zheng Jiaoqian also smiled, with no emotion visible on her face: “It’s rare that Xiaoxiao is here today.”
Both of them knew why the other came back, but they didn’t say anything. It seemed that there was a very harmonious relationship between them.
They were currently in the lobby on the second floor. The two were being polite to each other, and the company staff curiously peered in to take a few glances.
Today was really interesting, the two most beautiful girls in the company were here!
Was it raining red rain from the sky?
Just as they were wondering, a few people came in, escorting Sheng Ziyou.
Staff: “…”
Are you all here? Are you going to start a fight?!
“Ziyou is here? What a coincidence that we are all here together today.” Zheng Jiaoqian smiled, as if there was no barrier between them and they had a close relationship.
Xiao Yu was the same. She was a little younger and smiled kindly, “Sister You is here too.”
Sheng Ziyou was stunned for a moment, then a big smile appeared on her face, very friendly——
“Oh, what a coincidence! I haven’t seen Xiaoxiao and Jiaoqian for a long time. I missed you so much!”
Staff: “…”???
We really can’t tell that these are three people fighting behind the scenes…
They must be sisters!
