Faced with the abundant seafood laid out before her, Su Jiu turned pale and had no appetite whatsoever.
He cautiously glanced at Mu Xiaozhe's expression, only to see him calmly biting a crab leg, seemingly oblivious to the terrible things he had just said.
"I know you did it."
He only said that one sentence, without even a glance, yet Su Jiu didn't even have the courage to refute him.
He didn't know how much Mu Xiaozhe knew or what his opinion of him was, but since he hadn't brought it up, Su Jiu simply pretended not to hear.
Su Jiu quickly finished her lunch and went to meet up with the other members of her team. As expected, she heard a lot of sarcastic remarks.
In this group, Su Jiu and Mu Xiaozhe are the most popular, but their singing and dancing skills are the worst.
Half a day had been wasted, and everyone was anxious. Seeing that the two of them were moving slowly, they couldn't help but get angry. They didn't dare to say anything to a young master like Mu Xiaozhe, so they vented their anger on Su Jiu.
As usual, Su Jiu looked at them with a half-crying expression, neither arguing nor arguing, only apologizing repeatedly.
They were all adults, and after he calmed down, everyone felt guilty seeing his expression, so they stopped saying anything and started emergency training with him.
Just then, the director announced that everyone should go outside to dance to the theme song. Everyone's patience instantly reached its breaking point, and they all went out cursing.
"Sister Qiao, look at this, this is a provocation, this is blatant provocation! If I were you, I wouldn't be able to tolerate it!" President Wang pointed at Feng Qianxing on the screen, his face full of righteous indignation.
Whether out of guilt or something else, Feng Qianxing, who was originally a regular mentor on the show, resigned after the theme song.
Who knew that as soon as the show next door started airing, he switched to that show.
When faced with media interviews and a series of perplexing questions about the trainees' abilities and the reasons for switching companies, he chose to give ambiguous answers.
This immediately generated a lot of buzz for the show next door. However, when a reporter asked if the accommodations for the trainees on Qiao Xia's side were really that bad, Feng Qianxing shook her head with a wry smile and gave a vague answer.
"Because I went through that stage myself, I can only say that the life of a trainee is really tough, and the living environment still needs to be guaranteed at the most basic level."
At the end of the interview, the reporter thoughtfully included a picture of the dormitories prepared for the contestants by the program next door.
"Wow~" Qiao Xia zoomed in on the video details, "They're all living in simulated space capsules, so our accommodations are really not that great."
Qiao Xia didn't care much about these things, after all, not all the viewers under this video were convinced.
[He even started feeling sorry for me, saying, "After I graduated, I was crammed into a tiny three-square-meter room without even a window. Why doesn't anyone care about me?"]
[These 2.08 million yuan salaries in the entertainment industry are really excessive. Workers live there every day, but what about trainees who have no livelihood?]
[Could it be that Feng Qianxing switched shows because she couldn't stand the accommodations? To be honest, that's incredibly disloyal and a clear betrayal!]
[Speaking of which, Feng Qianxing doesn't seem to come from a wealthy family, so how could she say something like that? Has she had too much of a comfortable life and can't empathize with her past self?]
[Of course I can't empathize. Since his debut, Feng Qianxing has always been chauffeured around in luxury cars. Even when he was still relatively unknown, he wore designer brands. His company always treated its artists well, but after it went bankrupt, Feng Qianxing terminated his contract without paying any penalty, and now they're in court.]
[I can testify. I interned at Hunan TV, and his former company was truly a rare example of a conscientious company in the industry. They never allowed their artists to go out and entertain clients; the company always invested money and resources in them.]
[It's said that Feng Qianxing's contract termination was due to financial problems within the production team. It's heartbreaking that the team, facing such difficulties, didn't give up on the trainees, only to be betrayed and insulted online by this ungrateful wretch.]
[The innocent are innocent. I'm taking my beloved Xingxing away! Looking forward to Xingxing's new variety show, "Youth Idol."]
The comment section was instantly flooded with the same phrases from fans.
The production team of "Youth Idol" tried to gain an advantage but ended up losing more than they gained, failing to achieve the expected reputation, although it did generate enough buzz.
Qiao Xia closed the tablet, feeling bored.
Mr. Wang looked at her in disbelief, "You're not angry about this?"
"What's there to be angry about?" Qiao Xia spread her hands.
"Don't you care when they say you're poor?"
"Of course not..."
[Warning—Warning—, Host's character has been detected as out of character (OOC), triggering a side quest: Please reverse public opinion and maintain the "tycoon" persona within 24 hours. Reward: To be unlocked.]
Qiao Xia's gaze was firm. "Of course I care."
After saying that, Qiao Xia rushed to the director and said, "Tell them to get up and dance to the theme song."
The director said tactfully, "Mr. Qiao, the performance is in three days, and the trainees are very busy..."
Qiao Xia adopted the ruthless attitude of a client, asking, "Are you funding this program or am I?"
"Of course you'll pay for it."
"Can I jump or not?"
"He can jump." The director secretly groaned. He thought this investor wouldn't cause any trouble with drinking culture and would be easy to deal with, but who knew he would be so troublesome. It would be better to have him accompany the drinking party.
The trainees stood in twos and threes on the dusty ground, looking listless and clearly dissatisfied with the director's demands.
Qiao Xia snatched the megaphone from the director's hand and said, "The music will start, and the show's theme song will be played. If your dance video gets over 100 million views within 24 hours of being released, I will arrange for the next performance to be held at the Bird's Nest."
After a brief silence, a deafening discussion erupted from the crowd.
The Bird's Nest! That's the Bird's Nest! So many singers dream of holding a concert there but never get the chance. They're just trainees, is it really possible?
The trainees' eyes burned with a fierce fire. Regardless of whether their initial intention in participating in the talent show was to become idols in the future, they wanted to seize this opportunity.
Among the group, Sun Hao was the first to calm down. As the internally selected center, he naturally stood in the very middle.
The trainees were more united than ever before, pushing the best dancers towards the center.
As the music began, everyone moved with unprecedented precision, their eyes gleaming with burning ambition, displaying the most youthful and unrestrained spirit.
At the end of the video, the words "See you at the Bird's Nest on October 1st" were displayed in bright, cursive font.
Qiao Xia was somewhat shocked by the trainees' performance; it was even better than the theme song they had recorded for the promotional video many times.
In fact, no matter how far their theme song gets broadcast, Qiao Xia will still send them to the Bird's Nest, since her real purpose is to show off her wealth.
But this time, not only did the trainees not disappoint, but the netizens also gave them a lot of support.
This is a proper talent show, which has now gone through five seasons.
With two shows every year, viewers are not only tired of the similar talent show rules, but also bored with the familiar faces that keep appearing in the shows.
But throughout the history of talent shows, no group has ever danced on a dusty construction site.
