If you told Li Jinfan that the prize for first place was dating Shi Xi, he would definitely be the most motivated contestant.
On their way back to the practice room, the two heard arguing coming from the hallway.
They didn't want to cause trouble, after all, in this industry, there are plenty of cases of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Remembering Shi Xi's words, Bai Cangyang went over to take a look.
Sure enough, someone was bullying the trainees.
It was a group of girls bullying a female trainee.
However, Mu Zhaozhao was not the one who was bullied.
Instead, she was a beautiful female trainee from another country.
During her initial performance, the girl shone brightly and received unanimous praise from the mentors.
Bai Cangyang and Li Jinfan couldn't remember the name of the girl who was bullied; they only knew she was a Japanese girl with a complicated and hard-to-remember name.
However, the girl who led the bullying was someone they both knew.
Philomena was the one who reached the Top in the very first episode.
Seeing someone approaching, Philomena didn't care at all about being seen bullying others. Instead, she warned, "Don't meddle in other people's business, or I'll beat you all up too."
Seeing her arrogant attitude, Li Jinfan frowned. "I don't hit women."
Bai Cangyang said calmly, "The production crew will be here to record soon, you'd better finish quickly."
In domestic talent shows, there are cameras everywhere, even in the stairwells.
Apart from the restrooms.
The five-nation talent show was obviously not that rigorous; in fact, the cameras in the practice room weren't always on.
Upon hearing that the recording was about to begin, Philomena kicked the bullied Japanese girl and said, "I'll let you off the hook for now, but watch your mouth next time!"
The bullied Japanese girl was beaten until her eyes were filled with tears, and she apologized repeatedly.
Philomena was very satisfied and called out to her friends to accompany her back to the practice room.
The Japanese girl who had been bullied breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly tidied her hair, and kept bowing to thank Bai Cangyang and Li Jinfan.
However, they couldn't communicate because of the language barrier. The Japanese girl didn't speak Chinese, and her English was broken. She could only say thank you and apologize.
Apart from that, Bai Cangyang couldn't understand anything she was saying.
Even if they wanted to ask Mu Zhaozhao if she had been bullied, they didn't know where to begin.
We had no choice but to give up.
Everyone returned to their respective practice rooms.
The production team resumed filming shortly afterward.
Several instructors came over one by one to play games and teach them.
Only Shi Xi didn't come.
*
At this moment, Shi Xi received a notification from the production team that there would be no filming for her that afternoon.
Shi Xi assumed the recording time had been changed and, without suspecting anything, prepared to go back.
Remembering Shi Chen's instructions, Shi Xi took out her phone, intending to call Shi Chen.
But seeing that it was only past noon, Shi Xi figured Shi Chen was still working, so she decided to wander around and kill the afternoon before going to see him after get off work in the evening.
There shouldn't be any danger on the street in broad daylight, right?
Shi Xi thought about it for a moment and realized that she was overthinking things.
She is not incapable of protecting herself.
With that thought in mind, Shi Xi walked out of the recording building.
Just as she was about to hail a taxi to leave, Shi Xi saw a flashy green Ferrari parked across the street.
A green Ferrari is indeed very eye-catching.
What's even more eye-catching is that the car owner, with short blond hair, wearing a green shirt, brown skinny jeans, and black sunglasses, is leaning against the car.
Dressed like that, who wouldn't be able to resist taking a second look?
Shi Xi took a few more glances.
At just one glance, Shi Xi recognized the man as her second brother's friend, Ron.
