Fei Zhengqi was a trainee from Class B who partnered with Rong Yu and played the role of a scholar during the first performance of the trainees who debuted.

Because their performance was so popular and captivating, their entire dance video has been uploaded to various short video platforms by netizens, quickly attracting a large number of fans in a short period of time.

Because the video was viewed multiple times, sharp-eyed people quickly noticed their little actions on stage, such as pretending to pass things while dancing and imitating characters in the story passing confidential documents during a crisis.

For example, after Rong Yu fell to the ground, even though the lights were focused on his other teammates, he still dutifully acted as a "corpse" in the dark corner of the stage. Until the music was almost over and the lights fell on him again, he remained in the same position as before he fell, without moving at all.

For example, the final dance between Fei Zhengqi and Rong Yu is actually an allegory for the scholar's suicide. Instead of directly narrating the scholar's suicide at the grave in the narration of the story song, they present this heartbreaking ending to the audience in a roundabout way.

Only when the book is dead can one touch the male dan (a male actor playing a female role in Peking Opera) who has long since become a ghost, and only then can one dance with him.

Thus, the dance skillfully blended sorrow, grief, and the joy and tenderness of two people who were originally separated by death reuniting.

The more carefully you explore, the more ingenious the choreography becomes, making it even more captivating and inspiring.

Therefore, all ten trainees who jointly created this stunning dance saw a surge in followers, with Rong Yu and Fei Zhengqi experiencing the largest increase in fans.

Fei Zhengqi owns a company, and with the management of her team, Fei Zhengqi has a greater level of publicity than Rong Yu, and her number of Weibo followers is also more than half that of Rong Yu, which gives people the feeling that Fei Zhengqi is more popular.

Therefore, Yin Chengjue was not surprised at all that Mingqian would ask Fei Zhengqi to be his partner.

Previously, thanks to the efforts of Mingqian's online supporters, the "radiant" couple of Rongyu and Mingqian had already gained some popularity. However, since the two were not in the same class or dormitory, and had only sat side by side once, there was nothing to ship them. Therefore, only a small number of people were willing to come and see the handsome men.

Fei Zhengqi and Ming Qian happened to be assigned to the same dormitory, so they inevitably had interactions in the video. Coupled with the hype on Weibo, many fans who came for their looks started to get excited and looked for sweetness in the scenes of Ming Qian and Fei Zhengqi together.

The "Benefits a Lot" couple suddenly rose to prominence, quickly gaining a large following among fans who admired their looks.

It's unclear whether the production team was influenced by online rumors, but when assigning the trainees to groups after their vacation, they put Ming Qian in Fei Zhengqi's team.

After the first round, all the contestants who were assigned to Class F were eliminated, and it was announced that the next class reshuffle would eliminate the entire Class E and Class D.

In order to stay here, the trainees who ranked lower decided to give it their all.

The task this time was to write and compose songs within three days, with six people in each group, for a total of seven groups, which means seven songs.

The production team will record the process of their songwriting and arrangement, and the finished product will be released on a music platform with a large user base, allowing netizens to vote. The ranking of the seven songs will be determined by the number of votes, likes, listens, downloads, and comments within the time limit.

The top three team members whose songs are ranked in the top three will have the opportunity to have their solo photos published in a well-known magazine.

The team member whose song ranks first will receive a "get-out-of-jail-free card," which can offset one elimination.

Yin Chengjue glanced at Rong Yu's team. Just like in his previous life, Rong Yu and Fang Mengda, the crybaby who caused a lot of controversy after the first performance, were grouped together. Also in the same group were the straightforward Tao Li and Bi Sheng, who once said that the whole company would send them to debut and that if they didn't, the whole company would go bankrupt.

There are also two members from Class D, one named Chi Yang and the other named Wen Yu. These two were originally from Class C, but because their performance in the first public performance was not outstanding, they were squeezed out when the classes were divided.

Judging from the current situation, Rong Yu's class is significantly weaker than the other groups, ranking in the lower middle of Group 7. Perhaps the production team divided the classes this way to balance the contestants' previous levels, having Rong Yu, who ranked first in the first public performance, lead Tao Li from Class B, Bi Sheng from Class C, Chi Yang and Wen Yu from Class D, and Fang Mengda from Class F.

Apart from Rong Yu, the other five all saw their rankings decline after the first public performance, especially the crybaby Fang Mengda, who even dropped out of two classes.

Online, there was a wave of pessimism about Rong Yu's team, with many believing that he couldn't possibly carry five players on his own, and that it wouldn't be surprising if they lost this time.

Some people have even started to expect Rong Yu's fans to tear into the production team, accusing the production team of rigging the show.

But they were destined to be disappointed. The fans of Yu Xiang Rou Si remained as indifferent as ever, and the super topic was peaceful, filled with congratulations for the team's collaboration and wishes for its success.

Seeing this, the fans of the other five members felt much better and also extended goodwill to the fans of Yu Xiang Rou Si (a popular online personality). The six fans were all in a good mood, much to the surprise of the crowd who had brought their stools to watch the fight.

Rong Yu's side didn't get any gossip, but Ming Qian's fans were in an uproar, fighting with Fei Zhengqi's fans. The reason was that in the latest episode, Ming Qian and Fei Zhengqi had a scene where they were arm in arm, and they were also very close during the songwriting segment.

The two were in different groups for the performance, but they were competing in the same song. They happened to be "scholar" and "male dan" from different teams, so some fans of the couple edited their videos together and added some everyday moments, which actually pieced together a story of past and present lives.

This upset the fans of both sides, who told each other to go their own way and not to follow suit.

This episode only showed the arrangement process of four teams, and Rong Yu's group was not included, so Yin Chengjue did not watch it.

And he's been quite busy lately... busy covering for Young Master Qin.

The Qin family somehow learned that the Second Young Master Qin had returned to the country and were searching everywhere for his whereabouts. The Second Young Master Qin was worried that if he was caught and brought back this time, he would most likely be forced to go on blind dates. So he begged Yin Chengjue to take him in.

Although Yin Chengjue was extremely unwilling, he thought of something and reluctantly agreed.

"I heard your sister wants to be a screenwriter?" Yin Chengjue's tall figure blocked the doorway, preventing Qin Ershao from entering immediately.

"Oh, yes, that girl is the apple of her family's eye. She can do whatever she wants, much freer than me," Qin Ershao said with a sigh. "She's even published several books. What? Your company wants to sign her? I can put in the strings for you!" Qin Ershao instantly understood Yin Chengjue's intention.

Qin Xiaomei has always stood by her second brother's side, so when the second young master Qin goes out, he will contact Qin Xiaomei.

Yin Chengjue nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, the conditions I offered will satisfy her."

That means the transaction is complete!

Qin Ershao packed himself up and moved into Yin Chengjue's apartment. He also invited his younger sister to meet at a later time to discuss the script in detail.

Qin Linlin is a principled and individualistic girl who resolutely refuses to change the original work or accept any kind of adaptation. So even though many companies wanted her work, she did not agree.

Yin Chengjue showed his utmost sincerity, not only guaranteeing that he would not change the plot or add any scenes for anyone, but also agreeing to let her serve as the screenwriter.

Qin Linlin gulped down a mouthful of warm tea to moisten her throat, then gave Yin Chengjue a thumbs up and said, "Brother Jue! That's great! I just can't stand those people who want traffic from original works but also want to completely distort the originals just to give certain people more screen time."

Yin Chengjue nodded in agreement: "Your plot is excellent and doesn't need any changes. Besides, if I hadn't been drawn to your plot, why would I have bought this book? Would I have just spent money on the title and the readers' resentment?"

“Exactly! If they don’t like the plot and insist on changing it, why bother coming to me? They can just write their own drama!” Qin Linlin agreed wholeheartedly and clinked her teacup against the wine glass in Yin Chengjue’s hand.

"With me here, such a thing will not happen," Yin Chengjue promised earnestly.

"Okay! Then I'll trust you, Brother Jue!" Qin Linlin quickly signed the contract.

"Oh, right! Actually, I've been working on a new story recently. I've already written the outline, but I haven't figured out which angle to take." Qin Linlin blinked her big eyes, which were just like Qin Ershao's. "And now I suddenly have a new idea."

Before Yin Chengjue could ask, Qin Linlin said with a grin, "I want to start a variety show, using the outline of the plot I came up with as the framework, and then invite some suitable guests to participate."

"Oh? You want to turn this work into a variety show? What kind of work is this? Is it suitable?" Yin Chengjue became interested; he had never heard of this in his previous life.

In his past life, because Qin Ershao always disliked Mingqian and targeted her at every turn, Yin Chengjue felt that Qin Ershao was disrespecting him, so he gradually distanced himself from Qin Ershao and naturally had no chance to communicate with Qin Ershao's sister, Qin Linlin.

Yin Chengjue only learned that Qin Linlin was the original author of several major IPs after those books were adapted into TV series and became wildly popular.

However, by then he had already distanced himself from Qin Ershao, so naturally he would not seek to collaborate with his sister again. Even though Mingqian pleaded several times to be the male lead in the drama Qin Linlin was filming, he did not stoop to that level.

Because of this, Mingqian argued with him for several days.

Looking back now, I realize how ridiculous I was back then. I was completely fooled by Mingqian, and even my childhood friend became estranged from me.
