Chapter 195: Three Officials Team Up
In the front center of the first-floor lobby, Ren Limeng straightened her back and carefully looked around at the eleven circular lampposts in front of her. She confirmed again that only Li Qingzi and another ancient style blogger Xu Panpan had their lights on for her, while her favorite guest Fei Jingting did not have her lights on.
After Wu Yue announced Ren Limeng's favorite guest, Fei Jingting, who was standing on the left, had a look of obvious surprise on her face. She subconsciously looked up at Ren Limeng in the front of the hall. Ren Limeng, who had been looking at Fei Jingting, immediately smiled very friendly and put her hands together in a gesture of asking for help.
Even though they were half a stage apart, Ren Limeng still tried to convey the determination in her eyes to Fei Jingting, so that she could see her sincerity at the moment.
No matter how the rules changed in the first two public performances, the center of each team was a celebrity guest with a higher status. The third public performance was no different, except... Captain Ren Limeng was too "weak". Compared with Zheng Chuanbai, who seemed to be the weakest captain in the first two public performances, Ren Limeng was still much more unknown. It can be said that before "Shan Hai", no one knew her name.
This is the concern of many guests, but if we look at this matter dialectically, being in the Li Meng team may not be an opportunity.
What's more, this round, Ren Limeng's team has Ren Limeng and An Ling. Just based on the tacit gossip they spread for others before the show started, the topic of the team's third public performance has reached its maximum.
"Li Meng, I'm sorry you have a bye this round."
"Okay, Brother Yue, I still have to thank Sister Qingzi and Sister Panpan for leaving the light on for me. I feel really sorry for Sister Ling and for disappointing her. However, I really like Jingting and hope to become teammates with Jingting. Jingting, I wonder if you have a favorite team. If you are still hesitant, can you consider joining our team? We really need you!"
After Wu Yue regretfully announced the failure of the double selection, Ren Limeng returned empty-handed in the first round of the double selection.
Before leaving, Ren Limeng seemed a little depressed holding the microphone in her hand. Her unintentional call of "Sister Ling" attracted the attention of all the guests. Ren Limeng seemed not to notice at all and sighed softly. She looked up nervously and just kept expressing her love for Fei Jingting.
Due to restrictions on the rules, Ren Limeng was unable to have more time to communicate the invitation with Fei Jingting alone, but Ren Limeng very much hoped that Fei Jingting could understand her invitation to break the deadlock together. After all, apart from her, no team had expressed their love for Fei Jingting. Ren Limeng hoped that her heart-warming choice at this moment would make Fei Jingting consider joining her team.
In today's recording, the host Wu Yue did not disclose the candidates for the four new guests. Apparently, the introduction of the new guests was arranged after the teams were formed. After Ren Limeng seemed to have leaked the information inadvertently, Wu Yue remained silent under the gazes of the guests opposite. He did not stop Ren Limeng's little thoughts, nor did he explain the "Sister Ling" mentioned by Ren Limeng.
Before going upstairs, Ren Limeng looked calmly at Li Qingzi who was smiling gently across from her, leaving only a look of regret in the camera. But perhaps only Ren Limeng herself, who quietly returned to the training room, knew what her mood was at the moment.
All the manpower has been done, and the rest is up to the arrangements.
"Sister Ling, I'm sorry I didn't listen to you the first time."
In the camera, Ren Limeng couldn't help but frown in self-blame on her way back to the training room. She opened the door and lowered her head in a depressed mood, "What a pity! If I had chosen Qingzi, I would have been double-selected in the first round."
"It's okay."
An Ling smiled peacefully. She gently hugged Ren Limeng with a hint of comfort in her tone. No one could tell from the intimacy of the two hugging each other that this was their first meeting.
"Li Meng, who are you going to choose in the next round?"
"I...I want to see Jingting's choice before deciding."
"You want to see if she leaves the light on for someone else?"
An Ling understood the question immediately and asked even though she already knew the answer. If Fei Jingting didn't keep the lights on for other captains, then Ren Limeng would naturally have a chance. There was nothing wrong with Ren Limeng thinking this way, except... she was a little stubborn.
An Ling didn't believe that Ren Limeng didn't understand what she meant, or that it was more than just her suggestion.
The choice of Li Qingzi was a deal between Xu Jiao and Zhong Yanjun, the director of the Orange Platform's entertainment department. She was simply using Zhong Yanjun's mouth to complete this trivial task because she was Zhong Yanjun's person.
An Ling didn't care why Xu Jiao wanted to put Li Qingzi into Ren Limeng's team. She just watched the show quietly.
"Um."
Ren Limeng nodded slightly as if a little embarrassed. She had noticed that Fei Jingting had left the lights on for Shen Xingzhi, Chen Xi, and Chen He. If there were any changes in the second round, Ren Limeng wanted to take another gamble.
It’s not because Fei Jingting is so unique, but because Ren Limeng has no more suitable choice except Fei Jingting. As she just expressed downstairs, Ren Limeng really needs Fei Jingting.
Fei Jingting never left the light on, from Guan He who came after Ren Limeng to Chen Xi in the second round. Before going downstairs, the program staff asked Ren Limeng to choose the guest she liked first, but Ren Limeng still chose Fei Jingting without hesitation.
At this time, with two rounds of double selection, there were only 5 guests left on the stage. In addition to Fei Jingting, Li Qingzi had been standing on the stage in the hall. Except for Chen Xing, she had not left the light on for other captains in these two rounds.
This was undoubtedly a controversial point during the broadcast. Ren Limeng was only glad that Fei Jingting chose to keep the light on for her, otherwise, she would be in a difficult situation and it would be difficult for her not to choose Li Qingzi as her favorite guest.
"Congratulations to Li Meng and Jing Ting, both were successfully selected!"
After going downstairs, as Wu Yue's celebration sounded, Ren Limeng contentedly hugged Fei Jingting, finally welcoming the third guest of her team.
After two rounds, both Shen Xingzhi and Chen He teams were full.
Hong Qingli joins Chen He's team again. Everyone knows that Chen He's team's third public performance marketing is still the "Hai Yan He Qing" CP. The popular young actress Fan Xinran joining Chen Xingzhi's team also makes Chen Xingzhi more powerful. In the third public performance, the two strong teams, Chen Xingzhi and Chen He's team, compete again, which is full of highlights.
Chen Xi and Guan He each recruited two stars, and there are only three guests left to be selected, in addition to Li Qingzi, there are Yan Baiwei and Xu Panpan.
Wu Yue said that after the third round, the second round of free team formation would be open. Chen Xi was the first to choose among the remaining three guests. The guest she chose was Li Qingzi. Li Qingzi still did not leave the light on, and she looked at Chen Xi apologetically.
"I guessed it. Qingzi wants to wait for Li Meng. I see you've persisted for her for two rounds and never lit the light for others. I hope you won't miss it again this time."
Chen Xi smiled meaningfully, as if he didn't care about the result of his bye. He deliberately pointed out Li Qingzi's "waiting", which made it impossible for Ren Limeng, who went downstairs with him, to ignore Li Qingzi.
Before going downstairs, An Ling asked Ren Limeng the same question again, "Limeng, who are you going to choose this round?"
Fei Jingting also turned her head to look at Ren Limeng. She didn't say anything, but there was some worry in her eyes. The remaining three people were not Ren Limeng's best choices.
Yan Baiwei is known for her hot temper, and rumors of friction between her and Ren Limeng continued to circulate during the first public performance. In addition, her status is much higher than Ren Limeng's, so Ren Limeng chose Yan Baiwei as a big shot.
Xu Panpan is too unknown. Ren Limeng's team, except for An Ling, is unknown in the entertainment industry and already has no audience appeal. Choosing Xu Panpan is a complete test of how the audience can see a background team with only one star among all the shining stars.
Li Qingzi has a certain degree of fame and a good personality, but... Li Qingzi is an artist from the same company and agent as Shen Xingzhi. She debuted with the fame gained by her junior sister Shen Xingzhi, and the gossip and scandals about Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi have been a hot topic these days.
Fei Jingting remained silent and stared at Ren Limeng the whole time. At this moment, she had no idea how to choose one of the three to be a teammate.
"Of course I'd choose Qingzi, as suggested by Sister An Ling."
Ren Limeng raised her eyes to look at An Ling, and with a smile on her face, she stated the decision she had already made without any hesitation.
There was no way. Although Li Qingzi was Chen Xingzhi's junior sister, she at least knew the big picture and would not act like a big shot like Yan Baiwei. Without a big shot like Chen Xingzhi as the captain, Ren Limeng was very self-aware.
However, Xu Panpan's popularity is a real problem. In a program that values traffic, Ren Limeng is not sure that she can achieve success by just working hard. Li Qingzi is a traffic star herself and is backed by Hanxing, one of the four major brokerage companies. She is Ren Limeng's only choice at the moment.
In addition to the various topic discussions that can be imagined, the recording life should be very rich.
Ren Limeng smiled bitterly in her heart. She had to choose the lesser of two evils. Since she had to face this situation, she would give it a try. She could face all the topics head-on and discuss them. There might be a way out.
No matter what Li Qingzi and Xu Jiao and others behind her planned, Ren Limeng would not avoid the battle at this moment. She smiled slightly, determined to win by countering every move.
"Congratulations Qingzi on joining Team Li Meng! Li Meng, congratulations on forming the team!"
The third round of double selection was undoubtedly a success. With Wu Yue's excited voice, Ren Limeng slowly walked towards Li Qingzi, smiling and slowly stretching out her arms. "Qingzi, I'm glad we're a team again. Happy working together!"
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Li Qingzi hugged Ren Limeng, and the two turned around and went upstairs in a friendly manner. The gentle way they interacted made Yan Baiwei, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but frown slightly and take a few more glances.
Before Yan Baiwei had time to wonder, Guan He came downstairs when she forgot to turn off the lights, and his favorite guest was Yan Baiwei.
Yan Baiwei was really stunned this time, but after a little thought, she accepted the team formation result and went straight back to the training room with Guan He.
The last remaining Xu Panpan joined Chen Xi's team, and with the host's enthusiastic voice, the three public performances were completed.
All the guests returned to the hall and were divided into five teams according to their new groups and sat down.
Wu Yue first solemnly introduced the four new guests to everyone. In addition to An Ling, there were male singer Jiao Shi and actor Guo Guang who joined Shen Xing's team, and actress Qu Qianxue who joined Chen He's team.
The formation of the three men of Team Shen Xing attracted a lot of attention, but more guests' eyes couldn't help but wander between An Ling and Ren Limeng.
