A few more days passed.
The talent show in Nanshan City had been going on for some days, with four episodes already recorded. During the recording of the fifth episode, the first episode premiered online, scheduled every Saturday at 2 pm.
The appearance of 40 handsome men on the show won over many female viewers. The show was well received and viewers held high expectations for it.
In readiness to make a splash, they were waiting for a highlight.
After the first episode aired, viewers started to choose sides based on the looks of trainees.
In the second episode, viewers began to feel sorry for Yu Zijun, the acting coach.
"Hahaha, brother seems to be suffering, did he get something spicy in his eyes?"
"How can he not? Hahaha, just look at the affectionate expressions of those trainees. For a straight man, it’s like torture!"
Some even captured Yu Zijun’s pained expression and turned it into an emoji with the caption: someone please save me.
By the time the third episode aired, what the audience saw were trainees studiously learning to sing and dance, their enthusiasm and efforts fired up the viewers.
"Let’s go kiddos! Charge! Charge! Charge!"
...
"Wait, isn’t Wei Qinghe a drama student? Why is he singing?"
"Not sure, did he sign up for the wrong thing? Or is it just a stunt set up by the production crew?"
...
"Does anyone else find Wei Qinghe’s voice amazingly good when he sings, even though he just started learning?"
"Wei Qinghe’s voice has always been amazing, haven’t you noticed before? Even when he’s acting, he uses his own voice to deliver his lines. I truly think he can try singing, he might be even better than he is at acting."
...
The production crew immediately informed the trainees about the online feedback, including each one’s popularity ranking.
Wei Qinghe was now sitting in his dressing room, continually browsing through online reviews. He was currently ranked 21st in the popularity rankings.
Apart from a handful of netizens who didn’t understand why a drama student like Wei Qinghe suddenly decided to sing, most people were optimistic and looking forward to his performance.
The feedback was surprisingly... not bad?
The dressing rooms housed three people each. Besides Wei Qinghe, there were Zhang Tianbin and another trainee.
The third trainee was out at the moment, leaving only Wei Qinghe and Zhang Tianbin in the room. They were both looking at data and comments, especially Wei Qinghe, who felt quite pleased after reading through the hundred or so comments, even though he didn’t respond to each one.
He felt happy.
For the first time, he had over a hundred comments on his Weibo post.
At the same time, he was more determined to learn.
No matter what, he’d see it through!
"Qinghe, you’re still ranked a few spots ahead of me on the popularity list." Zhang Tianbin, who was scrolling through his phone, suddenly said. He was ranked 27th, while Wei Qinghe was 21st.
Zhang had a good attitude, not fighting for higher positions.
He firmly believed: he was not unnoticed, it was just that his time hadn’t come yet. When the time was right, he would naturally become popular.
Wei Qinghe responded with a hum: "I saw. I’m not sure what the ranking is based on."
"I don’t know either."
"Well, whatever. I’m not going to think about it anymore. I’m going to take a nap, as we have to train soon."

Time passed, and in today’s fast-paced life, everyone in the city was working hard and pushing themselves everyday. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Even Yu Ting couldn’t escape this fate. Accompanied by Lu Nanchen, she finished recording for the fourth and fifth episodes and got a half-month vacation again.
But she didn’t get much rest.
After experiencing the incident on Weibo last time, she got called out for being lazy which lasted for three days!
Three full days!
This resulted in the number of paparazzi camped out near the company doubling, forcing Yu Ting to change her working days from six to twelve a month.
During her half-month vacation, she ended up going to the company for five days.
Early in the morning, Lu Nanchen accompanied Yu Ting to shoot a few episodes of a show. It seems that after Zhou Chengyan’s departure, he returned to his own busy schedule.
He was now standing outside the car, with one hand resting on the car door.
