Chapter 193 An Ling

Before announcing the results of the "Lost" team challenge yesterday, Ren Limeng actually thought about her personal popularity ranking in the second public performance.

Theoretically, she has reached some tacit understanding with the Orange platform and is now definitely considered a member of the platform. She will not face the possibility of being easily eliminated like in the first public performance, but the personal love value ranking is like an exam transcript, and everyone hopes to do better.

Ren Limeng's eyes fell on the position of "8", which was an improvement of 5 places. Coupled with the "unexpected surprise" of becoming the captain of the third public performance, Ren Limeng felt that she had gained a lot from the second public performance.

The trip to Mei City had already gained a lot, but I didn’t expect to get an unexpected surprise after the performance.

Ren Limeng suppressed the corners of her mouth that wanted to curl up, and listened to Wu Yue continue to advance the process with a gentle smile on her face.

"The third public performance will still follow the five-team, four-person format. The four new guests are already sitting in the upstairs room. Based on the five keywords given by the production team, the four new guests have taken the lead in selecting their preferred team captains. This is a privilege for new guests, and this selection is mandatory for the third public performance. In other words, before the team-forming phase, the five team captains are heading upstairs now. You might already see your new teammates in the room!"

Four new guests?

Such a deliberate introduction, coupled with mandatory binding rules, seems to contain the highlights and variables of the Three Public Performances.

Ren Limeng was originally thinking about the remaining twelve guests. After hearing Wu Yue's arrangements, a trace of contemplation flashed in her eyes. She smiled and stood up and walked towards the stairs with the other captains.

"Li Meng, you're leaving so quickly! The Three Public Service Meetings have just begun. Do you really want to leave our captain?"

Chen Xi, who was walking next to him, suddenly spoke with a smile. Her words, which were obviously malicious, immediately attracted the attention of the other four captains. Everyone paused slightly. Chen Xi's smile remained unchanged. When she noticed Shen Xingzhi's gloomy and deep eyes looking at her, Chen Xi blinked lightly, and her face suddenly became a little melancholy.

"Xingzhi, it was just a joke. I didn't expect that we would be separated like this. Everyone feels really bad. Sigh!"

Chen Xi's remarks at this moment were purely harmless and meant to disgust himself.

Ren Limeng immediately made her judgment in her heart, but a hint of surprise appeared on her face, as if she didn't feel the provocation in Chen Xi's eyes as she lowered her eyes secretly. She replied with a smile, "Really? Sister Chen Xi, you change your face so quickly!"

With the same joking tone and a similar implication of "you'll lose if you take this seriously", Chen Xi pulled the corner of his mouth with a forced smile, and without saying anything more, everyone continued to walk towards the training room on the second floor.

Before retracting her gaze, Ren Limeng noticed the quiet gaze of Shen Xingzhi looking at her. Shen Xingzhi's handsome face was expressionless, his brows were slightly furrowed, cold as ice, and his eyes were calm. However, Ren Limeng seemed to notice a flash of grievance in Shen Xingzhi's eyes, with some helplessness of things being out of control.

She and Shen Xingzhi had agreed to continue to team up for the third public performance, but this time the plan could not keep up with the changes. The program team announced the so-called new rules so openly. Even if Shen Xingzhi was unwilling, he had to continue recording at this moment.

At the critical moment of contract renewal, even someone as casual as Chen Xingzhi cannot be so willful.

This is probably the reason why the program team dared to display Shen Xingyi's idea so openly.

It seems that Shen Xingzhi and Orange Platform have not yet reached a complete cooperation. At this moment, it is a bit like a "warning" in the three-party game.

Ren Limeng thought to herself, but her eyes did not have the same gloomy emotion as Chen Xingzhi. She smiled gently at Chen Xingzhi, with some comforting meaning of taking things as they come, but suddenly in return she received a more silent gaze from Chen Xingzhi looking at her from the side, his thin lips slightly pursed, his eyes deep and dark.

Taking advantage of the blind spot in the corridor on the second floor, Ren Limeng was about to raise an eyebrow to ask, but Chen Xingzhi had already turned around coldly and strode forward. The cold temperament emanating from his whole body was as cold as ice. Ren Limeng looked at Chen Xingzhi's tall back, but inexplicably felt... resentment behind Chen Xingzhi's coldness?

Ren Limeng's smile faded slightly, and she deliberately slowed down her pace, as if she was looking at the captain's name posted on the door of the training room, and she distanced herself from Shen Xingzhi.

No matter why Chen Xingzhi was unhappy, she'd better not get into trouble at this moment.

After all, she was...quite excited.

As the captain who got a surprise for free, Ren Limeng quickly accepted the reality and adjusted her program recording strategy in time.

With her helpless status, Ren Limeng never dreamed from the beginning that she could become the captain of the platform's S+ level variety show. She just wanted to use "Shan Hai" to let more people know her. Now the screen full of hot searches after the performance has basically achieved this wish.

Although there are more gossips than other things, apart from the scandals, since many netizens have discussed her career ambition, from another perspective, everyone seems to have recognized her abilities and paid attention to her career. The road has been tortuous, and even if it is not the target path she envisioned at the beginning, Ren Limeng is still basically satisfied with the result.

Therefore, Ren Limeng originally intended for San Gong and Shen Xingzhi to continue to team up. Apart from the personal reasons for accepting Shen Xingzhi's invitation, it was also because being Shen Xingzhi's teammate was the best choice for San Gong after Ren Limeng weighed the pros and cons.

After all, she and Shen Xingzhi are very familiar with each other, and she is very happy from the bottom of her heart to be on the same team with Shen Xingzhi. And when they are together, there will definitely be no shortage of topics.

But... with the captain title that came out of nowhere, the situation has changed and Ren Limeng has more opportunities to express herself.

No matter what the Orange Platform planned, Ren Limeng just wanted to accept the surprise card of "Captain" in her hand silently. She also had more desire for challenges and winning. Ren Limeng was eager to try it at this moment.

She also wanted to see if she could handle this S+-rated variety show on her own without Shen Xingzhi by her side; she also wanted to know if she could inspire discussion among the audience entirely on her own and let more people know her.

On the second-floor corridor, Ren Limeng walked slowly forward, a little distracted as she quickly reviewed her work. Besides being satisfied with her work, Ren Limeng couldn't help but secretly think of Chen Xingzhi just now. The deep look in his eyes before he turned away coldly, did he see some of her "ruthless" rush towards the new team of the three public performances, ready to become the new captain's carefree and happy...

Alas, the team has disbanded, and before leaving, Chen Xi deliberately made remarks to trick her and destroy the harmonious relationship between her and Shen Xingzhi!

Ren Limeng secretly complained in her heart, but still kept a gentle smile in front of the camera, until she slowly pushed open the door of the training room with her name on it and saw the new guest sitting steadily inside.

"...Sister An Ling?"

Ren Limeng's pupils suddenly shrank, her gaze paused briefly, and a hint of uncontrollable surprise flashed in her eyes. She immediately straightened her back, as if she wanted to reconfirm the new guest, and slowly called out the name of the person in the room.

Peaceful spirit??????

Rest in peace!

The new guest turned out to be An Ling, whom she picked up on the spur of the moment before the filming of "Mountains and Seas" started!

The production team also put her and An Ling in the same team?

Ren Limeng totally didn't believe Wu Yue's explanation that the new guests were randomly selected based on keywords. She even speculated that the current situation was a carefully designed program team with ulterior motives.

As expected, being an S+-rated reality show captain isn't for nothing! It's definitely not easy!

Ren Limeng's mind was racing, and she walked quickly towards An Ling who had stood up with a smile on her face. As her eyes moved, Ren Limeng's expression of instant affection and surprise did not reveal that this was her first time meeting the top host of the same platform.

The embarrassing incident of her replacing An Ling was tacitly not mentioned by both parties.

"Li Meng, we finally meet!"

An Ling said this with a smile on her face. She blinked gently, looked at Ren Limeng with a gentle face, stretched out her arms affectionately, and hugged Ren Limeng who was walking towards her.

"I've always heard that there's a super awesome female host on our platform's agriculture channel. I've seen many of your specials, and I never thought we'd meet here. I can say I've successfully chased your idol. I'm new here, so please take care of me!"

An Ling smiled politely and was so modest that she didn't seem like the top host of the platform at all. Although they worked on the same platform, Ren Limeng had never paid much attention to An Ling. She was a little curious whether An Ling's friendly behavior at this moment was a polite expression of her true feelings, or a professional habit in front of the camera.

But no matter what, Ren Limeng chose to use stillness to overcome movement.

"Sister An Ling, you're so polite. You're my senior, and there's a lot I can learn from you. I'm so surprised to meet you! I'm so lucky to be on the same team with you!"

Ren Limeng held An Ling's hand with sincere words. If she hadn't "grabbed" An Ling's first recording position, she would definitely not be so suspicious, and she would definitely be very happy to be on the same team with another platform host.

Ren Limeng has never had the opportunity to have in-depth contact with the hosts of the platform's entertainment channel. She is also very curious about the professional experience of today's entertainment channel hosts. Is it really as An Ling joked in front of the camera that the hosts are just background boards for activities?

After all, Ren Limeng planned to switch to an entertainment channel as a host.

"I'm probably three or four years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Sister Ling. There's no need for you to come and go. Anyway, Captain, please take care of me, San Gong!"

An Ling smiled and shook Ren Limeng's hand. The scene under the camera was harmonious. She did not exchange too many pleasantries with Ren Limeng, but spoke gently and brought the topic back to the most urgent matter at the moment - forming a team for the three public performances.

As the five new captains entered the training rooms on the second floor, the TV screens in the training rooms synchronized the situation on the first floor of the waiting hall in real time, and Wu Yue continued to advance the process.

"According to the selection of the four new guests, two people have joined Chen Xingzhi's team, one person has joined Chen He's team, and one person has joined Ren Limeng's team. The maximum number of people in each team is four. For example, Xingzhige's team has joined Xingzhige himself. Currently, there is only one person left to complete the team! The team formation for the three public performances is divided into two rounds. The first round is a two-way selection version of 'If You Are the One'. The second round is a free team formation. Each team will be formed until it is full. Please pay attention."
