“Did they fight?” Xia Jinmeng asked, deep in thought.

An Youyun glanced at Xia Jinmeng and smiled, revealing her dimples. “I don’t think so. Didn’t they just have breakfast together?”

“But they didn’t even say a word to each other,” the girl added.

The girls followed her line of sight.

Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu each carried a plate and walked to the table one after another.

There was no communication throughout the entire process.

An Youyun pursed her lips.

The two of them really seemed to be quarreling.

She turned around and saw Xia Jinmeng staring at Lin Shanchu. She frowned slightly.

Xia Jinmeng had always been against Lin Shanchu, both openly and secretly. She did not know what the latter was up to this time.

It was true that Lin Shanchu, who had appeared out of nowhere, made people envious of her.

However, An Youyun hated people like Xia Jinmeng who constantly played dirty tricks in the dark even more.

When they entered the studio, Lin Shanchu saw the director.

“Good morning, Director.”

Lin Shanchu took the initiative to greet him.

The director snorted and turned his head away in a huff.

When he turned his head, he saw that the other staff members were all looking at him in surprise.

Lin Shanchu alone had carried more than half of the show’s viewership ratings, so the director had praised Lin Shanchu a lot in private.

Why did he not like Lin Shanchu today?

The director could only turn around and reply in an unpleasant tone,

“Morning!”

It seemed that she had been found out.

Not only did Lin Shanchu not feel guilty, but she even whispered to the director, “Is it on the trending list?”

The director was stunned for a moment and only reacted a moment later. Lin Shanchu was asking if the delay of Tang Qidai’s new drama was on the trending list.

‘You…”

He really wanted to let those people who said that Lin Shanchu was gentle and kind see what she had done!

But he couldn’t.

Lin Shanchu was the key element of popularity, after all.

“Yes, it’s on the trending list!” The director had no choice.

The director of “My Stage” reposted the news of the delay regarding Tang Qidai’s new drama on Weibo.

There seemed to be no relationship between the two, but there were many netizens who loved to do reading comprehension.

This naturally made it to the trending list.

“Thank you,” Lin Shanchu said while showing a satisfied smile.

She looked as gentle and kind as she could be. The director was speechless. “You’re welcome.”

In fact, Lin Shanchu was still quite gentle and kind.

The mentors and the host entered the venue one after another.

Yu Weixin and Huo Xunzhou will be co-hosting “My Stage” from this episode onward.

The order of this episode’s song selection was determined by the top 15 members.

After Yu Weixin finished reading the song selection rules, he smiled mysteriously. “The production crew has also arranged a surprise for the top 15 members. We’ll find out more about that later.”

He continued, “Next, I’ll announce the members’ rankings.”

The ranking of the members was announced starting from the middle.

Those whose names were not called could be in the top 15, or they could be on the list of the last 18 eliminated members.

After that, Yu Weixin and Huo Xunzhou continued to announce the list.

The top 15 and the last 18 names were alternated.

The commenters started to get anxious. [The immersion is too strong! I’m already feeling nervous for them!]

[Oh? Wen Tongtong is on the elimination list.] [I pray that my An’an will be in the top five.] [I’m only curious about Lin Shanchu’s ranking.]

[Won’t you know if you look at the poll?]

[There are several voting portals, and the final count is the overall number of votes. The single-channel ranking is not accurate.]

The list soon reached the top six.

The camera cut to Yun Wu. Yu Weixin slowly said, “Sixth place, Yun Wu.” The comments went wild.

[Huh? Damn it! Did my Sweetie Yun get sacrificed by other people?] [Right, Boss Yun is super strong! Why isn’t she part of the debut list?] [I haven’t heard Xia Jinmeng’s name. Does that mean she’s in the top five?]

[Are they saying that Sweetie Yun can’t compare to Xia Jinmeng? Clearly, those people didn’t use their brains to vote!]

Lin Shanchu turned to look at Yun Wu.

Yun Wu stared ahead in a daze, her eyes unfocused.

Ran Zhimo thought that she was upset about her ranking, so she patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

But based on Lin Shanchu’s understanding of her…

Yun Wu… was probably thinking about food.

After all, it would be lunchtime in two hours.

In the next moment, she heard Yun Wu mutter, “I wonder if the cafeteria will cook braised prawns at noon…”

Ran Zhimo, who was about to say something to comfort Yun Wu, looked puzzled.

She poked Lin Shanchu’s shoulder and whispered, “Aren’t you going to talk to

The rankings were being announced, and yet Yun Wu’s mind was still filled with thoughts of food.

Lin Shanchu replied, “The cafeteria’s braised prawns are quite delicious.”

Ran Zhimo was speechless. For a moment, she felt apologetic for disrupting Yun Wu’s gluttonous daydreams.

The braised prawns in the cafeteria were really delicious.

She was starting to crave them.

In a flash, the ranking had already been announced to third place.

Huo Xunzhou’s voice drifted slowly. “Third place, An Youyun.”

A member congratulated her in a low voice.

An Youyun smiled and responded to them one by one. Finally, her gaze fell on Lin Shanchu.

Only the top two were not announced.

Among the remaining people…

Only Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng could possibly be in the top two.

Although Xia Jinmeng didn’t perform well in the theme song assessment, she had a lot of fans. They were all die-hard fans who had followed her when she formed a group abroad. They were also very good at spending money.

Lin Shanchu was on the trending list the day she entered the show. Although her popularity was high, most of the netizens were here to watch the drama, so they might not vote for her.

Hence, the first place was very likely to go to Xia Jinmeng.

The commenters started to debate.

[No way… Lin Shanchu the untalented hack actually hacked her way into the top two?]

[I can already smell the rotten breath of jealousy from outer space.]

[Please watch the views of Lin Shanchu’s personal performances before you speak, okay?]

[Don’t you know that the number of views can be manipulated artificially?]

[You can just say whatever you want without any evidence!]

Xia Jinmeng was initially worried that she would not perform well in the theme song assessment and that it would affect her votes.

She didn’t expect her fans to live up to her expectations.

Lin Shanchu was full of scandals, not to mention those netizens were just there to watch the drama. How could they really like her and vote for her?

The first place could only go to her, Xia Jinmeng.

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Yu Weixin suddenly changed the topic.

“At this tense moment, let us reveal… the surprise that the production crew has arranged for everyone!”

All the members were speechless.

Even the commenters were speechless.

The production crew had prepared blind boxes for the top 15 members to draw from.

Before the drawing began, Yu Weixin specifically reminded, “There’s only one red blind box that contains the mystery prize. Let’s see who will be the lucky one.”

Some people got snacks, while others got plushies.

In any case, it was just little things that were quite common but became especially precious because the training camp didn’t have them. Yun Wu drew a pack of spicy snacks and jumped up and down in joy.

The commenters were all laughing at her. [Sweetie Yun can no longer return to those days as the badass.] [I don’t think the blind boxes are that simple.]

When it was Lin Shanchu’s turn, she drew a red box out of the pile.

“Let’s congratulate Lin Shanchu for winning the red blind box, ” Yu Weixin said.

However, Lin Shanchu noticed that the director, who was standing behind the camera at the side, was grinning from ear to ear..
