Wang Xingrui forced herself to keep smiling.

She had never realized how torturous the director was when she saw him on TV before.

After arriving at the scene, the feeling of anxiously waiting for the results was really bad.

However, the other male singers were even more nervous. They were not afraid of being eliminated, but they were afraid of being the first to be eliminated.

And those who are eliminated will undoubtedly become the background board for the challenge singer Wang Xingrui.

Although they had no objection to Wang Xingrui, she was a newcomer after all, and it was embarrassing for them to be kicked out by her.

The director obviously knew that if he didn't announce the results, these male singers would probably attack him.

"I'm actually quite disappointed with the results this time. The votes for fifth, sixth, and seventh place were very close, and the audience was quite conflicted. Perhaps the final choice wasn't made because they thought the singer sang better, but rather because they happened to be deeply impressed by that singer."

Wang Xingrui took a deep breath, feeling a little uncomfortable.

After all, the singer was eliminated because of her arrival.

However, the perceptive Wan Ling noticed the change in Wang Xingrui's heart and immediately whispered in her ear:

"Don't have any psychological burden. Whether you are eliminated or not has nothing to do with you."

"Yeah." Wang Xingrui nodded, and was quite grateful to Wan Ling for his guidance.

After the two looked at each other, the director over there announced the name of the eliminated singer.

As expected, it was the not-too-old male singer.

He bit his lip. Although he felt a lot of regrets in his heart, he still maintained enough composure when facing the camera.

After all, he also knew that his performance today was not satisfactory.

After standing up, the male singer nodded and tried to act as generous as possible:

"Congratulations," he waved towards Wang Xingrui. "My performance today wasn't great, and I respect the audience's decision. But I'll be back. There's still a rematch, right? I'll do better then."

Wang Xingrui clapped along with everyone else, and kept telling herself in her heart that the other party's elimination had nothing to do with her.

"Next, I'll announce the results of the top three." The director smiled slightly and took another sip of water. "Tonight's results will be combined with next week's to determine who will stay in the second round. Therefore, the results of fourth, fifth, and sixth place will not be announced for the time being."

"Besides Wan Ling and Wang Xingrui, who I just mentioned, the other singer in the top three is Li Limin."

The White Wolf lead singer was a little surprised, he thought he could get third place.

From this perspective, making major changes to one's classic repertoire is indeed a risky move and it is difficult to please nostalgic fans.

Li Limin immediately stood up and thanked the audience: "I'm a little surprised. I think my performance tonight wasn't as good as the two of you. But I still want to thank the audience for their trust in me."

At this time, the suspense came to the specific ranking.

Fortunately, the director did not continue to tease them this time, but directly announced the results.

"The third one," the director's eyes focused on the three singers, "is a female singer."

Wang Xingrui’s first reaction was that she was third.

As a challenge singer, getting third place is already a very good result, and she is very satisfied.

Although she boasted before the competition that she would take first place, she also understood that it was extremely difficult to actually get first place.

Wan Ling leaned close to Wang Xingrui's ear and said with great certainty, "I should be third. I have a strong feeling."

As soon as the voice fell, the director gave the name:

"Wan Ling, third place, congratulations! For a relatively unpopular singer, this is a pretty good result."

Wan Ling also nodded happily, and she seemed quite satisfied with the result.

"I'm very grateful to the audience for their love for me. When I released songs before, there might only be a few listeners. But today, so many people heard me sing and voted for me. I'm very satisfied. I will give you better performances in the future."

Wang Xingrui was feeling a little down, she would rather be third.

In fact, in Wang Xingrui’s own mind, she thought Wan Ling was first and she was second.

She heard stories from Wanling's singing.

Li Liming glanced at Wang Xingrui and he already had an idea in his mind.

In his opinion, he should be in second place, and that's because of the audience's love for him.

At the same time, it is the only fast song among so many slow songs tonight, so it should have this advantage.

The director glanced at Li Limin and said, "The second place winner tonight is our national dance king, Mr. Li Limin! Congratulations!"

"At the same time, tonight's first place winner is about to be announced. She is our challenger singer—Wang Xingrui! Yes, she made history by becoming the first challenger singer to win the championship directly!"

Wang Xingrui cried out excitedly.

No one would think she was impolite at this time, because anyone would be happy.

It is really rare for a challenge singer to get first place.

However, Wang Xingrui did it.

…

After Tang Yue and Lin Xuan'er met Wang Xingrui, they asked her many questions before they heard her shout, "I'm number one!"

"That's amazing!" Tang Yue screamed, wishing she could just hug Wang Xingrui and spin her around. "I knew you could do it, Ruirui! You're truly amazing!"

"That's really great," Lin Xuan'er also hugged Wang Xingrui: "I must hug you tightly today and share in your joy!"

"Xuan'er, you can do it too," Wang Xingrui said sincerely, "Once you succeed in challenging the champion, we can perform on the same stage!"

"Yes." Lin Xuan'er nodded: "I must succeed!"

Zhou Yiyang also knew about Wang Xingrui's results, and he was quite happy.

After all, this is the first place, and ordinary people can't get this result.

"Keep up the good work," Zhou Yiyang instructed, "In the next competition, you can only sing covers of other people's songs. I can't help you anymore."

"I know, Brother Yang," Wang Xingrui nodded, "I will work hard and will never let you down."

Su Yin naturally received the news, but along with it came a heavy blow.

To celebrate Wang Xingrui's success in challenging the opponent and winning first place, Zhou Yiyang treated them to a meal as usual.

When Su Yin saw the Xiangcheng delicacies shared by Tang Yue on her circle of friends, she almost ate her phone out of anger.

In the end, she had no choice but to order takeout to fill her empty stomach.

The day after the recording ended, all kinds of revelations were flying around.

However, this time every netizen believed it.

Because they found that among all the rankings given by the revelations, Wang Xingrui was ranked first.

This is so fake!
