Twenty minutes later, after being immersed in the three-hour broadcast, the host's voice finally came.
"All trainees have been selected. Now we are entering the mentor selection phase. Mentors, please write down the names of the trainees who will stay in your team on the cards. Trainees who do not write down their names will all enter the flow selection."
After that, several staff members delivered the cards to four rooms.
The atmosphere in rooms 1, 2, and 3, which were filled with laughter and joy before, suddenly froze and became tense...
After all, each mentor in these three rooms is overstaffed with trainees, and it is certain that someone will be eliminated.
Upon hearing the sad news, some trainees clasped their hands together and silently prayed for good luck, while others hid in the corner and huddled together to comfort each other.
Especially those trainees who are not very strong are even more worried.
However, what was coming finally came. Half an hour later, each mentor announced his or her best candidate.
The most amazing thing is that each mentor directly selected all 15 people, leaving no hope for those who were eliminated to choose a mentor again.
Therefore, the 14 people who were eliminated could only be directly assigned to Lin Yanran's team.
Suddenly they entered the "death team". Among the 14 trainees, except for a few who didn't care, the vast majority felt desperate. Even when there were cameras following them, they all looked dejected.
After a long delay, the door of Lin Yanran's room was finally knocked open.
Xia Xingxing, who was sitting on the sofa, jumped up when he heard someone knocking on the door. After quickly opening the door, he smiled widely to welcome his new teammates.
“Welcome everyone!!!”
Perhaps they didn't expect that someone would be willing to choose Yan Ran. When they saw Xia Xingxing actually appear in Yan Ran's room, many people looked as if they had seen a ghost and were very confused about his train of thought.
However, compared to Xia Xingxing, everyone was more worried about their own misfortune.
Some people had already started preparing their next elimination speech when they stepped into the room.
After all, we have been together for such a long time that we all know each other a little bit.
They all knew that the trainees currently assigned to Lin Yanran were basically from either Class D or Class F.
Naturally, their strength cannot compare to other groups with students from Class A and Class B.
Not only in strength, but also in popularity, he is far behind others.
The most terrifying thing is that their mentor is so weak...
When these three factors are added together, the future is bleak and there is no hope at all.
The competition system is very cruel and everyone is under a lot of pressure, especially after being locked up here for such a long time of closed training, many people's mentality is a little broken.
So when they greeted their instructors as usual, a group of extremely depressed trainees didn't even bother to force a smile even when the camera was filming them.
They bowed to Lin Yanran dejectedly and whispered, "Hello, teacher."
When Lin Yanran's students were saying these three words, a shocking shout came from Room No. 3 next door where Pei Luo was.
“Come on, come on, come on!”
The students' weak "Hello, teacher" were completely drowned out by the noise from next door.
The momentum of the two teams is not even a little bit different.
It's pathetic in comparison...
Lin Yanran, who was standing at the front, glanced at the depressed trainees in the room and asked with a smile, "Everyone seems to be very disappointed."
The room fell silent instantly, and the trainees who had their thoughts exposed remained silent.
If I say yes now, it would seem too disrespectful to my tutor, but if I say no, I really can’t pretend.
Everyone fell silent and lowered their heads.
Seeing that no one spoke, Lin Yanran did not get angry. Instead, she spoke frankly about everyone's thoughts.
"I know that you are not very willing to join my group. You must be feeling very bad now."
He slowly looked at each trainee and bowed to them sincerely, "I'm sorry that my performance before didn't give you confidence."
If she put herself in their shoes, Lin Yanran could actually understand how these trainees felt at this moment.
He looked through the information and learned about each trainee's training experience and family situation.
Some of these trainees have been training in the company for many years, just waiting for a chance to debut.
Some of them are no longer suitable to be idols at their age, but are unwilling to give up the dreams they have pursued since childhood.
Some are not understood by their parents. If they cannot make their debut this time, they can only go back to find a job, get married, have children, and be an ordinary person again.
This may be the only chance in their lifetime for them to show themselves to the audience.
So they don't want to be eliminated easily.
The trainees were a little bit unbelievable and panicked when they suddenly received the apology from their mentor.
After all, it is really difficult to admit your own shortcomings in front of the camera.
Many trainees quickly waved their hands: "No, no, teacher, please don't say that..."
The previously tense atmosphere in the room instantly eased a lot.
Seeing that the trainees were finally no longer immersed in loss like before, Lin Yanran cut into what she wanted to say to them at the right time.
"Although the current situation of our team seems a little bad." Lin Yanran paused, "But I believe that everything depends on human efforts."
The trainees raised their heads and looked at Lin Yanran intently.
There are doubts, confusion, bewilderment, and distrust.
Lin Yanran took in their reactions, but did not continue the topic. Instead, she asked them, "Do you remember what the director said to you after your first performance?"
The topic suddenly changed, and no one knew why Lin Yanran asked this.
After a moment of silence, a trainee finally responded and said the slogan of "Super Idol", "Follow the light and leave no regrets!"
Lin Yanran shook her head, "It's not enough to leave no regrets."
The gentle smile in his eyes disappeared, replaced by seriousness and solemnity.
“Only if you work hard to stay on this stage can you be remembered and change your destiny.”
After cruelly pointing out the reality, Lin Yanran met everyone's gaze, confidently and solemnly.
"Trust me for once."
"Let's have a desperate escape."
The camera in the distance nodded slightly, and the director, who had been silently paying attention to the movements in the room, quickly touched his face.
After hearing Yanran's words, I felt excited and moved.
After the four teams were formed, today's recording was completely completed.
However, because we have to edit the show highlights, we will still follow the contestants and mentors.
Lin Yanran's words just now obviously had some effect. When the trainees who had originally rejected him were in the studio, several of them took the initiative to get together with him.
Although the atmosphere was still a little awkward, the attitudes were not so stiff anymore.
There was a trainee in Lin Yanran's group named Ji Shuai, who was a loyal face lover. When he was walking with Lin Yanran, he couldn't help but want to praise her face when he saw her face so closely.
"Teacher Yanran, can I apply for your makeup to be semi-permanent? It's really handsome."
Although Lin Yanran was not completely unfamiliar with the entertainment industry, he had previously spent most of his energy on studying, so he did not really understand some of the new and novel terms in the entertainment industry.
Lin Yanran was studious by nature, so he immediately started an academic discussion with her, "How do you achieve semi-permanent makeup?"
He knows about semi-permanent eyebrows, but what is semi-permanent makeup?
When Ji Shuai saw that Yan Ran was discussing with him so seriously, he almost burst out laughing.
"No, no, it's just an exaggeration. It's just an exaggeration. It probably means that you should keep your looks like today in the future, for the benefit of us who love beauty."
After saying this, Ji Shuai glanced at the necklace on Lin Yanran's neck and praised her in surprise, "Wow, teacher, is this necklace of yours a new model from K? I think I've seen it somewhere before. It matches your outfit today perfectly."
When Ji Shuai said this, Xuan Yihan and his roommates came out from the corner and walked behind Lin Yanran and the others.
Although the four people in their dormitory were divided into different groups, they still waited for each other to return to the dormitory because of their good relationship.
When Xuan Yihan heard Ji Shuai mention the necklace, he stopped immediately.
At first he didn't say anything, but waited for the camera following him to arrive before calling out to Lin Yanran who had already walked away.
"Teacher Yanran."
Xuan Yihan trotted to Lin Yanran and blocked his way.
"Teacher Yanran." Xuan Yihan's eyes fell on the necklace. "I heard that your necklace is a new model from K. I like this brand very much. Can you lend it to me to have a look?"
Xuan Yihan was not stupid, and knew that he couldn't be too direct. So he designed a script for himself, and took several turns to set a trap for Lin Yanran.
After saying that, he looked into Lin Yanran's eyes, with a hint of pleasure of impending revenge in his gaze.
He couldn't help but think of some things that happened during his time of poverty.
Back then, that useless adoptive father was in a lot of gambling debts. He would beat and scold him every day when he came home. Not only did he threaten to stop him from going to school, he also didn't give him any food when he came home every day.
One time he was so hungry that he went to a convenience store and stole some biscuits.
As a result, his every move was seen by Xuan Yanran who was also shopping.
The other party paid for him, but then taught him arrogantly, "If you are short of money, you can tutor me, and I will ask my parents to pay you. But don't do this kind of thing again in the future. Your grades are so good, and if others find out, it will affect your future. This time, I will keep the secret for you..."
Xuan Yanran spoke so easily at the time, being so high and mighty as to be completely unaware of the sufferings of the world.
Although he helped him out of kindness, he was extremely envious and jealous of Xuan Yanran, this loser.
I am jealous that he has such rich parents and such a wealthy family.
Even though his grades were so bad and he was not outstanding at all, he could still be a carefree young master and did not have to worry about money and survival.
However, six years have passed, and I didn't expect that the situation has changed. The person who once stood on the moral high ground and educated me is now doing the same thing I once did.
This time their identities were switched, and he also wanted to experience what it felt like to stand on the moral high ground.
The road was blocked by Xuan Yihan, so Lin Yanran stopped and couldn't call for help.
People who come with bad intentions will not come, especially someone like Xuan Yihan who specifically mentioned the necklace in front of so many cameras. Although Lin Yanran didn't know what he wanted to do, she knew that there must be something fishy about it.
"Just say it if you have something to say."
Lin Yanran was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
Xuan Yanran saw that the other party was not making sense, so she emphasized again, "I just think your necklace is beautiful, and I want to borrow it to take a look..."
Lin Yanran sneered, "If you want to see it, I'll lend it to you?"
Who do you think you are?
Xuan Yihan, who was standing right in front of Lin Yanran, was almost frightened by his eyes.
Ever since the other party was sent to an Internet addiction treatment center by his parents, he has never spoken to him at such a close distance again.
He originally thought that Xuan Yanran had lived such a miserable life in the past few years that she would feel inferior when they met face to face again.
However, the other party's glance just now made him feel as if he was stripped naked and all his little thoughts were guessed.
Xuan Yihan silently told himself in his heart that Xuan Yanran was very stupid and would never be able to see clearly.
Xuan Yihan was about to speak, but Fang Su, the bootlicker who came right after him, couldn't help himself.
"Whether you lend it to me or not, I just want to ask you where you got your necklace."
Fang Su is also a rich second-generation young master. He originally came here just for fun and wanted to record one episode and leave, but he didn't expect to meet Xuan Yihan, who is as gentle and cute as a little white rabbit.
He is different from other trainees. Relying on his good family conditions and the fact that he is not so eager to debut, he is not afraid of offending his mentor.
So when he saw Lin Yanran using her status as a mentor to pressure Xuan Yihan, he got angry and didn't care about anything else.
Xuan Yihan, who was trying to adopt a roundabout strategy, was so angry that he rolled his eyes when he saw Fang Su rushing up and disrupting his script.
But he changed his mind and realized that Fang Su had already done the evil thing in front of the camera, so he could exonerate himself and thus condoned the other party's behavior.
Xuan Yihan gently pulled Fang Su's sleeve, "Fang Su...don't, there's a camera here..."
My goodness, Fang Su couldn't bear it anymore when he saw Xuan Yihan being so aggrieved and considering the other party's face after the evil guy stole her things.
"I don't care about the camera or not, I just know that this necklace looks familiar to me."
Fang Su's words made Lin Yanran understand the purpose of Xuan Yihan and his gang's visit.
They suspected that I had stolen their necklaces.
Lin Yanran glanced at Xuan Yihan calmly and couldn't help but sneer.
Knowing that there are so many cameras following me here, he still chose this time to find me. What was he thinking that he was afraid others wouldn't see?
He originally thought that Xuan Yihan, the son of luck, should be at least passable in terms of intelligence and character as the protagonist.
Unexpectedly, he still overestimated the configuration of the protagonist of this Mary Sue heartthrob novel.
He finally understood why the author arranged so many bootlickers for Xuan Yihan.
After all, if the protagonist himself is really strong enough, he doesn't have to rely on those bootlickers to give him the green light again and again to escort him all the way to upgrade.
Knowing that the other party wanted to trick her, Lin Yanran set a trap for him instead.
"Look familiar? Where did you see it?"
Fang Su: "Hanhan also has one."
Lin Yanran had a blank expression on her face. "So what?"
"That necklace is a limited edition worldwide. Hanhan is the only one who has it here."
Fang Su added, "He has worn it before, and many people have seen it."
Seeing that the other party was still talking in circles after a long time, Lin Yanran became a little impatient and said, "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."
Fang Su, who was about to continue to give some evidence with his emotions at full steam, was choked. After a few seconds, he said, "But Hanhan's necklace was lost. It was lost today. We searched everywhere but couldn't find it. But you wore it tonight. I've never seen you wear a necklace of this style before."
Lin Yanran smiled and pointed out the other party's intention directly, "So you mean that I stole his necklace."
Lin Yanran did not ask a rhetorical question, but directly used a declarative sentence.
Fang Su didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
An unexpected incident occurred here, attracting all the trainees who were preparing to return to the dormitory.
Everyone gasped when they heard Lin Yanran's words.
This plot is too magical...
If it's true, then Yan Ran isn't...
The cameramen on the other side were also extremely anxious when they saw what was happening.
They didn't know whether to turn off the phone or not, so they could only call the director and ask him to come forward to settle the matter.
Since this is a question of character, few people dare to speak carelessly nowadays.
But Xia Xingxing, who was standing by, saw Xuan Yihan's aggressive look and couldn't help but defend Lin Yanran, "Limited edition doesn't mean there's only one."
Ji Shuai also nodded, "Yes. It's just a limited edition. It's normal for Teacher Yan Ran to buy one... maybe she made a mistake."
Before Ji Shuai could finish his words to smooth things over, Fang Su interrupted him with a sneer, "Buy? Do you know how expensive this necklace is? Seven figures."
After saying that, he glanced at Lin Yanran, the subtext being that this poor bastard couldn't afford it at all.
Lin Yanran, who was slandered and looked down upon because of her poverty, raised the corner of her mouth, "What evidence do you have to prove that this necklace is yours?"
Xuan Yihan, who had been silent all this time, took the initiative this time, "This is a custom-made piece my mother gave me. It's very precious."
He deliberately emphasized the words "mother" and "precious" in front of Lin Yanran, trying to poke her heart in all directions.
He knew that when Xuan Yanran was at home, his parents thought he was a loser and never gave him any expensive gifts.
However, Lin Yanran smiled when she heard this, ignoring what Xuan Yihan wanted to say, and went straight to the point, "K's private customization will have a special logo engraved on it, are you sure?"
Xuan Yihan knew clearly that there was no special mark on his necklace, but he thought that this was an excuse made by Lin Yanran, so he didn't take it too seriously.
Now that the foreshadowing was complete and the conversation was straightforward, Xuan Yihan didn't want to pretend anymore and pointed at Lin Yanran's necklace and said loudly, "I'm sure this is the one my mother gave me. It's a limited edition that was just released in early autumn."
Fang Su, the bootlicker, immediately followed Xuan Yihan's beat, "I can prove it, too."
After saying that, he pinched Fu Bohao and Han Zixuan who were beside him.
The two immediately followed suit.
"Yes, I did see Hanhan wearing this necklace before."
"Yes, I've seen it too...it's the same."
Three people make a tiger. Xuan Yihan was so sure, and his roommates came out to prove it, so many people began to waver...
After all, normal people would think that if there was no evidence, Xuan Yihan and the others would not dare to confront Lin Yanran in front of the camera...
so……
Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Yanran.
Amid everyone's suspicious looks, Lin Yanran slowly touched the necklace with her fingers.
Under the glaring light, the edge of the necklace reflected several cold rays of light.
The people at the scene didn’t know that the word “sy” was engraved on the back of the necklace.
He had seen it before when Ming was helping him put on the necklace.
Lin Yanran curled her lips and calmly raised her hand to take off the necklace.
Suddenly, a heat lingered around his neck from behind, and a pair of warm hands gently touched his skin.
"Yeah?"
The author has something to say:
Huo Yin: Get out of the way, I can handle this!
Ye: Wife, give me a chance to show my face!
Xuan Yihan: Don’t think the protagonist of White Lotus and Green Tea is incredible, I am
