The list of names for Chapter 10 has been released.
Each group must submit a list of qualified personnel; if the number is too small, the group will be questioned.
Just as Lin Sheng was despairingly thinking that today was going to end badly and bracing himself for the pitying looks from his colleagues in other groups, Su Han, who was next to him, called out as usual: "Next..."
She suddenly stopped and looked towards the door: "Just leave the takeout outside."
Lin Sheng lazily lifted his eyelids, only to see a figure wearing a bright yellow delivery uniform and a helmet walk straight in.
The person deftly removed their helmet, revealing a face flushed from running, yet still undeniably beautiful and delicate, with a few strands of hair damp with sweat clinging to their forehead.
She was slightly out of breath, but explained clearly, "Hello teachers, I'm Ling Wei from A307. I just finished delivering an order, sorry."
Those present: "..." They could tell.
Ling Wei smiled sheepishly, taking off her delivery coat as she asked the staff, "Teacher, this is just a skills assessment, it won't be recorded, right?" After receiving confirmation, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly combed her slightly loose long hair again, tying it into a neat high ponytail, instantly making her look refreshed and energetic.
He took off his oversized delivery uniform, revealing only a simple white T-shirt and black cargo pants underneath, along with flat canvas shoes.
Without glamorous attire or exquisite makeup, the overwhelming youthful energy and calm, composed demeanor inexplicably captivated the weary eyes of the two judges.
She walked to the center of the room and bowed slightly: "Hello teachers, I am Ling Wei. This is my presentation."
...
The evaluation room remained silent until Ling Wei put her delivery uniform back on, politely said goodbye, and hurriedly left.
After a long while, Lin Sheng heard Su Han beside him suddenly gasp and utter a cry of surprise that was completely out of character for her:
"Holy crap!! Is this a professional pond-dumping operation?!"
In those three minutes, the girl performed an extremely high-intensity singing and dancing routine right in front of them.
Her breath was so steady that you couldn't hear her breathing. Her dance moves were impeccable in terms of strength, timing, and fluidity. She even transitioned directly into a powerful and gorgeous high note after several large backbends and splits.
This high note was clear and full, and even Su Han, a professional opera singer, thought it was perfect and beyond reproach.
Her a cappella performance showcased her amazing talent from every angle.
Lin Sheng picked up Ling Wei's application form again in a daze, pointed to the "position within the group" column, and said to Su Qing, "She wrote here... lead vocalist/vocal?"
For this idol group selection judging, all the judges, including him, regardless of their professional fields, received systematic idol industry knowledge training in advance.
This standardized process aims to prevent them from using overly strict traditional standards to measure idol performances due to differences in their professional backgrounds, thereby misjudging their potential.
Therefore, although Lin's professional perspective suggests that Ling Wei's dance skills did not meet the selection standards for a professional dance troupe, considering the numerous stage performances of popular idols observed during training, the girl's performance just now would be considered an ACE (all-around core) in any mature group, right?
This is all just vocals?!
What level of monster must their group's ACE be?!
After a brief moment of shock, a surge of elation at escaping a desperate situation suddenly gripped Lin Sheng.
He slammed his hand on the table, tears welling in his eyes:
"Found him!!! Finally found someone who can fight!! Hahahaha!"
I'll definitely be able to deliver today!!
As soon as Ling Wei came out of the review site and changed into her work clothes, she got on her electric scooter and received a text message on her phone saying that the evaluation had passed. Her efficiency was astonishing.
After sending a message in the group, she hurried through the city's streets and alleys to head to her next workplace.
With the show about to premiere, every penny means securing Grandma's medical expenses, so she has to race against time.
As for the other sisters in the team, she wasn't worried at all.
They may be busy on their own battlefields, but they will never let their guard down.
Just then, my phone rang in my pocket. It was their group chat called "[Bankrupt Idol, Billionaire Star in Training]".
Ling Wei (Liangshan Haowei): [Just finished, everything went smoothly. How's it going on your end?]
Ye Zhen (Zhen Nima Haoming): [Evaluation? Passed. Hot pot for dinner?]
Zhao Xiaohe (online name: He Miao Yi Zhi Hua): [(A long voice message) It's all settled! The judges said I have a unique style, hey, I'm easily recognizable! Ye Zi, stop trying to tan me, I'm on a weight-loss diet!]
Lu Xiaoxiao (online name: Xiaoxiao is so cute): 【(ω) I'm done~ Sister Zhen, I want to eat crispy tofu skin rolls!! [collapses.jpg] Captain, when are you coming back?】
Sha Jing (online name: Don't Think Quietly): [Assessment passed. Based on our calorie control records over the past three months, tonight's indulgence is within reasonable limits. Captain, be careful, don't rush.]
Seeing the message pop up in the group chat, Ling Wei couldn't help but smile. Her electric scooter whirred forward with unstoppable momentum.
Their group emerged from a 108-member band known as the "Good Girls of Liangshan." During the long period of being sidelined, it was their shared dream of becoming a girl group and their mutual support that kept them together.
At that moment, the evening breeze brushed through her hair, carrying her through the crowded traffic.
For three years, she was sidelined, without a stage, without lights, and without an agent to manage everything.
But the five of them, relying on their unyielding team spirit, supervised and supported each other, making practice their entire life.
Without an agent, he created his own rigorous training schedule comparable to that of top companies; apart from completing his studies, he devoted all his time to perfecting his movements, honing his singing skills, and creating choreography.
Everyone hones their skills to the extreme in their own position, like an arrow, just so that one day they can be released from the bow and accurately shot towards that one and only throne.
This ambition, dormant for over a thousand days and nights, is no longer a spark, but a raging fire about to spread.
========
On a weekday morning at 10:00 AM, the official Weibo account of "Dream of Qinghe Idol Open Competition" promptly released the list of contestants and groups who passed the initial evaluation by the mentors.
The long list of pictures and text immediately caused quite a stir online.
Since the project focuses on ordinary people and has no agency involvement, the list does include many faces that netizens find novel or even surprising.
Among the most noteworthy is the "Qingya Group," a campus group centered around Bai Wanqing.
In Bai Wanqing's account, she wore a white dress, exuding a pure and innocent charm. Surrounded by several members of the dance club, she smiled gently at the camera, creating a beautiful scene.
Her reputation as an internet celebrity and campus beauty was already somewhat known online, and now it has sparked a concentrated discussion:
Wow! It's Bai Wanqing, a senior from Ocean University! She actually participated too!
"She's stunningly beautiful! This school beauty truly lives up to her reputation!"
"She and her group members standing together are like a campus romance novel heroine and her group of best friends come to life! I can't wait!"
