On the way to find the director, Xie Qi and Bai Yi explained some things.
Xie Qi: "When I return, I will retrieve your souls as soon as possible."
Bai Yize: "Didn't you say our souls are in the underworld? How do you find them?"
Xie Qi: "I can open the passage to the underworld, but I'm not sure if I, a human, can get in."
Bai Yize: "I don't understand. This is too fantastical, even more fantastical than what my grandfather told me. I never believed in the underworld before."
Xie Qi: "If you don't understand, then don't think about it. Just focus on your competition and leave the rest to us who know the business."
Bai Yi hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "So... is my brother really your love interest, or did you just make it up?"
Xie Qi: "Really, absolutely true."
Bai Yize: "But you two are both men. Is the matchmaker so open-minded?"
Xie Qi: "Uh...Yue Lao also needs to keep up with the times."
Bai Yize: "What about my peach blossom?"
Xie Qi: "You are still a long way off. Just be your idol first."
Bai Yize: "Oh."
Xie Qi: "Why don't you go back first? I can go find the director myself. When my soul is found, I will contact you. You still need to go home."
Bai Yize: "Okay."
At this moment, Xie Qi came to the director's room alone. The director and three mentors were all here. They were selecting the wonderful scenes of this live broadcast, and then editing them and posting them online.
Xie Qi stood at the door and knocked.
When the director heard the voice, he turned around and saw Xie Qi. He immediately walked over and asked enthusiastically, "Why are you here?"
Xie Qi walked over and said straight to the point: "Director, I want to withdraw from the competition."
Xie Qi's words left the director and three mentors stunned. Xie Qi, who was so popular and famous, was actually going to withdraw from the competition.
Zhang Yichen couldn't understand it: "If you stayed, you would definitely debut. Why did you withdraw? I haven't seen a trainee as good as you in all these years."
Xie Qi: "Sorry, Mr. Zhang, I don't want to be an idol."
The director also wondered, "What's wrong with being an idol? Don't you all want to be famous?"
Teacher Li Meng looked at Xie Qi suspiciously and asked, "You don't have any leverage over others, so you're probably afraid of your reputation being ruined after your debut."
Xie Qi: "There is no evidence. I have already packed my luggage. I will transfer the liquidated damages to the director. After I withdraw from the competition, I will also explain it clearly to my fans through a live broadcast."
After hearing what Xie Qi said, the others realized that there was no room for redemption, so the director agreed.
The director knew that Xie Qi had a close relationship with the young master of the Bai family, so he didn't want to offend anyone. After all, they were already popular.
Xie Qi had no intention of making his debut in the first place, and he didn't withdraw from the competition in order to get to the bottom of the matter. Now that he knows the secret about Bai Yize, he has no reason to stay in the program crew.
Just like that, when Xie Qi had left the program crew in the evening, the program crew announced Xie Qi's withdrawal from the competition on Weibo.
Not only netizens, but even the trainees who were still in the program crew were in disbelief after hearing the news.
At the same time, Xie Qi also posted a live broadcast link on Weibo and told netizens that he would give everyone an explanation during the live broadcast.
At this moment, Xie Qi was sitting at his computer desk, watching people coming into the live broadcast room. The comment section was constantly being refreshed.
Xie Qi: "Everyone, please be patient. There are still ten minutes left. I will start explaining after the hour."
Ten minutes later, the number of people in the live broadcast room had reached several hundred thousand. Xie Qi's fans and fans of other trainees all wanted to hear some news about the trainees from Xie Qi. There were also some passers-by who just came to join in the fun.
In addition, mentor Wang Chen, who had withdrawn from the competition before, also entered Xie Qi's live broadcast room, which also attracted mentor Wang Chen's fans.
Xie Qi: "Let me first explain why I'm withdrawing. Because I prefer the profession of Tianshi to being an idol. And I read my own fortune and it seems I'll be single this year. It's inevitable, so in order to live up to my fans, I think it's best to withdraw."
After Xie Qi finished speaking, the comment section was filled with various doubts. Xie Qi also picked a question that everyone wanted to know.
Netizen: "Fortune telling? Then let me ask you, are you withdrawing because you're already in a relationship and worried that it won't become popular, or are you withdrawing because you predicted you'll have a partner in the future?"
After reading his question, Xie Qi replied, "I don't have a partner right now. I just calculated that I'll be single this year. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate. My background is very simple, and I've never been in a relationship before."
When netizens heard what Xie Qi said, they could accept it to some extent. After all, Xie Qi doesn’t have a partner now, so it’s not a complete collapse of his relationship. Moreover, Xie Qi cut his losses in time and withdrew from the competition.
He is not an idol, but he is more acceptable than those idols who debuted and then secretly dated.
Xie Qi looked at the comments and continued, "Don't worry, I will compensate you for your financial losses. All fans who have bought my peripherals and spent money on me before can send me a private message with your payment records, and I will compensate you at the original price."
Xie Qi's words surprised everyone in the live broadcast room. Fans who were somewhat upset were relieved because Xie Qi was willing to refund the money.
At this moment, Xie Qi continued, "Or, do you want to have your fortune told? If you don't want to pay, you can also bring your payment records and I will tell your fortune."
Xie Qi was a newcomer who had just gained some fame and had only competed in one match, so the fans who spent money on Xie Qi did not actually suffer much financial loss. It was likely that they only spent a thousand or two thousand yuan at most.
Those who spent large sums of money asked Xie Qi for a refund, and those who spent a few dollars or a dozen dollars did not think it necessary to ask Xie Qi to compensate them. However, when they heard Xie Qi say that he could tell fortunes, the fans became interested.
So in the next live broadcast, fans sent screenshots to Xie Qi, and then connected to the microphone, and Xie Qi helped them tell fortunes.
A live broadcast eventually turned into a large-scale fortune-telling live broadcast.
Moreover, Xie Qi's calculations for each fan were very accurate, and netizens almost thought that Xie Qi had installed surveillance cameras in their homes.
In the end, Xie Qi live-streamed for four hours, and netizens were still vying to join the live broadcast.
Xie Qi picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip, and said, "It's already midnight, everyone, aren't you guys going to sleep?"
At this moment, netizens were all impressed by Xie Qi's abilities and no longer regarded him as an idol. They were all clamoring for Xie Qi to stop the live broadcast and they were even waiting for Xie Qi to tell their fortunes.
Xie Qi: "Let's broadcast it tomorrow. Don't worry, the compensation you deserve will be given to you, but the peripherals you bought after today will not be considered as compensation."
Afterwards, Xie Qi said a few words to the netizens in the live broadcast room and then closed the room.
Because of Xie Qi's live broadcast, those fans also knew that Xie Qi would be single this year, so most of his original girlfriend fans stopped following him.
However, the live broadcast content tonight attracted many other netizens who came to watch the fun, so the number of Xie Qi's fans did not decrease, but increased instead.
