After the theme song recording was completed, the first rankings were announced.

At this moment, all the contestants began to feel anxious.

It was as if their fates were all pinned on the moment the rankings were announced, and Jiang Yixing was the one responsible for announcing the rankings.

As she stood before the crowd holding her cue cards, seeing the various reactions of some people who were uneasy and others who were very confident, Jiang Yixing also became a little nervous.

This is indeed a harsh reality, and it has nothing to do with your efforts; it only depends on the number of fans you have.

Jiang Yixing announced the rankings one by one. This ranking would not eliminate contestants, but only determine their chance to perform on stage for the first public performance.

Jiang Yixing had anticipated the people at the very front of the line, as they truly possessed both talent and good looks.

Tao Yating ranked first this time. She had participated in other talent shows in South Korea before returning to China to participate in "Youth With Poetry". As a contestant with a huge following, the other contestants seemed insignificant in front of her.

Tao Yating's speech was very official. Her eyes were filled with tears, and the camera zoomed in, magnifying her sparkling eyes under her curled eyelashes: "Thank you very much to my fans, thank you to my friends who support me, and thank you to the four mentors of the program. You have all given me a lot of help. In the future, I will definitely work harder to improve myself and live up to your expectations."

Jiang Yixing stood on the podium once again and announced the second place winner: Zhang Zhimin.

Jiang Yixing maintained her perfect smile and gave Zhang Zhimin a hug before she went on stage.

The girl with long, straight black hair looked dashing. She slightly bent her knees while hugging Jiang Yixing, and her eyes formed a beautiful curve. She took the microphone and first thanked her fans, teachers, and family.

After saying this, she turned to look at Jiang Yixing. Instead of crying, she smiled brightly. "Finally, I want to thank Jiang Yixing. As someone who has always encouraged and accompanied me, she has given me confidence and strength. I will definitely fulfill my dream and live up to your expectations."

Jiang Yixing sat in the audience, and Mao Helin next to her gave her a surprised look. "You two are very close?"

"Yes, she's a very cute girl."

Mao Helin stroked his chin, looking thoughtful. Why is it that Jiang Yixing can get along well with everyone wherever he goes?

Should he become an apprentice and learn a trade?

Jiang Yixing continued to announce everyone's rankings methodically, watching the contestants go from joy to dejection, and finally some of them couldn't hold back their tears. Amidst the sobs, today's recording came to an end.

————————————————————————

Today is the day the second episode of "Youth Has Poetry" airs. Fans were prepared and opened the video app. As soon as the video started, the comments section was flooded with messages:

"Will the rankings be announced this time?"

Fortunately, no one will be eliminated this time.

"Tao Yating has too many fans; isn't this bullying a newcomer?"

"They're fans too! It's none of your business!"

"Look at Jiang Yixing's performance in this episode. I feel like she should really leave the show. She was so invisible before."

"Has anyone seen the Reuters report? Jiang Yixing always appears with Zhang Zhimin."

"I don't know, why? They're such good friends?"

As the barrage of comments scrolled by, the program gradually transitioned from commercials to the main feature, and the first shot to appear was surprisingly Jiang Yixing's face.

It looks like they're filming a vlog. Even with a high-definition camera zooming in on her face, Jiang Yixing still looks like she's got a level 10 beauty filter on, her beauty is completely natural.

The comments pointing and whispering about Jiang Yixing in the live chat disappeared in an instant.

Wow! They're so beautiful, why are you even criticizing them! Just admire their looks!

The comments section was silent for a few seconds, but the haters were not defeated by Jiang Yixing's stunning beauty and continued to do their duty.

"Why is it her who's starting the show? How disappointing."

"Did you bribe the production team?"

"We came to watch the show, not to see her!"

Following Jiang Yixing's perspective, the audience arrived at the practice room and saw that the lights in the practice room were still on in the early morning, and Zhang Zhimin was practicing inside.

While Jiang Yixing was praising Zhang Zhimin, the live chat was filled with comments like "sycophant!" and "Fawning over the trainees! Shameless!"

However, Zhang Zhimin's fans were overjoyed.

What made them very dissatisfied in the last episode was that although Zhang Zhimin performed the best in the team, the production team gave a lot of screen time to her teammate who was prone to crying, resulting in Zhang Zhimin having very little screen time throughout the entire episode.

How can you gain fans if you don't get screen time? Fans of the show clearly understand the importance of screen time for the contestants. Zhang Zhimin's fans secretly held back, thinking that they shouldn't start criticizing the production team in the first episode, but wait and see how the second question goes before making a decision.

Little did we know that thanks to Jiang Yixing, the second episode featured Zhang Zhimin right from the start, and the segment lasted for more than five minutes.

When Jiang Yixing on screen said, "You can be more confident," fans almost burst into tears.

Yes! Zhang Zhimin is great in every way, except he lacks self-confidence!

Waaaaaah, finally someone told her about this!

Zhang Zhimin's fans' initial reservations about Jiang Yixing vanished, leaving only deep admiration.

The comments section was flooded with messages like, "Thank you so much, Miss Jiang Yixing, for caring so much about our Minmin!"

On the screen, Jiang Yixing arrives at the student dormitory, and whoever she encounters gets a lot more screen time.

All of these are high-quality shots that effectively showcase the different personalities of the trainees.

The students' fans were extremely grateful for Jiang Yixing's care and flocked to her Weibo to praise her for being beautiful inside and out.

Meanwhile, fans of other celebrities were just sour grapes, complaining: "Is Jiang Yixing being biased?" "They're all people the production team is heavily promoting!" "So she still didn't do anything! She just walked around with a camera."

Passersby found this part quite interesting; compared to the usual boring practice room arguments and deliberately sentimental segments, this part was actually quite entertaining.

The cheers from Zhang Zhimin's fans reached their peak when she successfully won second place, with the live chat filled with comments like:

"May you become king!" "See you at the summit!"

The hug between Zhang Zhimin and Jiang Yixing before they went on stage made many onlookers realize that their relationship seemed to be quite good.

Zhang Zhimin even made a point of mentioning Jiang Yixing's name at the end of his speech, his words and tone were very sincere.

Now, another group of people on the internet can no longer contain their restless hearts.

"Did everyone watch the latest episode of Youth with Poetry? I'm so excited, I'm dying to see them together! How can they be so adorable?! A cool and handsome female supporting character and a warm and sweet girl!"
