Chapter Forty-Six: The First Duke

Fang Lin, an ordinary working man, has been having a run of bad luck lately. He finally made it to the National Day holiday and thought he could finally rest at home, but instead, his boss called and sent him to the headquarters in Beijing.

Since he was already there, Fang Lin stayed up all night to prepare to go to Tiananmen Square on National Day to welcome the raising of the five-star red flag.

To her surprise, there were too many people who shared the same idea. Fang Lin finally managed to grab a spot to go in after much effort, but she was completely blocked by the tall guy in front of her and couldn't see anything.

After a great deal of effort to get out of the square, she immediately received a call from her boss, who criticized her proposal as utterly worthless.

Fang Lin had no choice but to reschedule from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and was constantly being ordered around by people from headquarters to do odd jobs. This left Fang Lin physically and mentally exhausted, like a walking corpse whose energy had been drained, swaying in the subway.

"With half an hour to go before the performance officially starts, the production team has reserved the ten best seats. Let's see who will be the lucky winner!"

Outside the busiest shopping mall, the host's enthusiastic voice rang in Fang Lin's ears, and before she could react, she was pushed to the front of the stage by the surging crowd.

The next moment, the pink balloon in the host's hand floated into the air, and a gust of cold wind blew, causing one of the strings to fall precisely into Fang Lin's hand.

Because she was pressed against the stage, the host quickly pulled her onto the stage, popped the balloon to reveal the golden tickets inside, and displayed them in front of the camera.

"Okay, the first lucky winner has appeared. Let's congratulate this lady. The show is about to officially begin. Let's get going."

And so, Fang Lin was led in a daze onto a stretch Lincoln, and then in a daze to the Bird's Nest stadium. When the host asked her which contestant she liked the most, she subconsciously answered, "Mu Xiaozhe."

To be honest, as a working stiff with no days and nights, she didn't know much about celebrities in the entertainment industry, let alone talent shows where fans fight all day long.

But as soon as she got out of the car, she saw the support flags hanging outside the Bird's Nest and realized that she recognized most of the people in them.

Besides the posters hanging at the subway entrance, they also flooded the big screens with advertisements, making it hard for Fang Lin not to recognize them.

But when she actually sat down inside and was surrounded by cheering and screaming fans, Fang Lin regretted it a little. Wearing a classic white-collar suit and still being a person, she felt quite out of place in this occasion.

At this moment, the person sitting next to her struck up a conversation with her warmly, "Did you come alone?"

"Mm," Fang Lin replied hesitantly.

Whose fan are you?

The girl next to me was wearing sunglasses, and each of her two pigtails had several colorful dreadlocks tied on them. Although I didn't recognize the brand of her clothes, they looked expensive.

The key point is that she has a very strong presence; she looks like someone you shouldn't mess with. "I..."

Fang Lin's mind flashed back to several celebrities' fans fighting at concerts and trending on social media, and he hesitated to answer easily.

The person next to her shoved a flag into her hand, saying, "If you don't have one, then support Jiang Xiaomian with me."

Fang Lin nodded. She also liked Jiang Xiaomian quite a bit. As long as she wasn't beaten, she was fine with supporting whoever she wanted.

Soon, the performance officially began. The first group was led by Mu Xiaozhe, who chose an old song with a strong rhythm that anyone could hum a few lines of.

The choreography was also very bold and expansive, which was very much in line with Young Master Mu's domineering style. Even after the performance ended, the audience was still screaming loudly.

Besides the fact that these people are indeed very popular these days, it's also because this performance was really good, with unprecedentedly synchronized dancing.

Next up was Jiang Xiaomian leading her team onto the stage. As the trainees with the most online discussion, the battle between the real and fake royal family members was one of the highlights. It has to be said that the production team really knows how to create drama.

The important thing is that this time Jiang Xiaomian did not continue the beautiful style that made her famous last time. Instead, she chose a newly released single by a popular singer, which is also a high-energy song and dance with a strong rhythm. She clearly wants to go head-to-head with Mu Xiaoze.

The movements were equally synchronized, but under Jiang Xiaomian's special choreography, they displayed a unique sexiness compared to Mu Xiaoze's domineering presence.

Next up was a ballad, a summer-themed first love song on repeat, and a slightly bittersweet love song.

But regardless of the performance, the quality of each one was quite high, and even the fans who were there did not expect to see such a stage.

The trainees on stage showcased their charm, while the audience below screamed in delight.

Fang Lin was also caught up in the atmosphere, cheering and screaming continuously. The people sitting next to her were no less enthusiastic. Although they clearly stated that they were fans of Jiang Xiaomian, they gave enthusiastic applause to every member who came out.

In the final round, Sun Hao led the team. He was also the captain with the lowest ranking in the previous stage. Almost all the members he selected were in the lower ranks, and he performed his own original songs.

As the intro began, the venue gradually quieted down. He sat in front of the microphone, playing his guitar, while his bandmates danced slowly behind him.

The soothing music gradually relaxed everyone in the venue. The song seemed to show them a young man who had repeatedly suffered setbacks on his musical journey but was unwilling to give up.

It was as if I saw myself, worn down by life, and the whole place fell silent as people silently waved their glow sticks.

Suddenly, the lights went out, and Sun Hao's voice came from the darkness, "This song was inspired by people from all walks of life who have covered our dance. In them, I saw the embodiment of the power of dreams."

"This song is dedicated to everyone, and also to myself who never gave up along the way. Thank you everyone."

As if waking from a dream, everyone erupted in huge screams, chanting Sun Hao's name throughout the arena. Even Fang Lin couldn't help but be moved by his performance, his eyes welling up with tears.

As expected, Sun Hao became the most popular player of the day, and his team also received an extra 20,000 votes.

Fang Lin excitedly turned his head to find like-minded people, but found that the people next to him were talking to the staff on site.

Fang Lin blurted out almost instinctively, "You are Qiao Xia."

"Shh—" Qiao Xia put her index finger to her lips and winked at her.

Fortunately, the scene was too noisy, and no one heard what she said. She stared blankly as Qiao Xia left, never expecting that the rumored rich woman was so young.

Fang Lin deeply regretted not taking a photo with Qiao Xia, but then he remembered that his phone had been confiscated before he came in, so there was no way he could take a photo anyway.

On this special day, Sun Hao led the entire audience in singing "As You Wish".

As the wind blew, Fang Lin, carrying a full bag of souvenirs, finally couldn't contain her excitement and shared her day's experiences on Weibo.
