Chu Qianli and others worked all night and finally picked out Shi Cheng, who of course changed his name to Shi Bude from then on.

Except for the trainees with stains in the background check, all the members of the boy band will be thrown into the talent show. Qiu Qingkong left Shi Bud's information and planned to focus on the growth of the future cash cow.

Qiu Qingkong sighed: "There are so many people but only one is capable. Should I consider changing my career?"

Tan Muxing complained quietly: "But you have so many people every year, it's good enough if you can produce one on the assembly line."

Chu Qianli: "It's normal that I can't pick one. I've seen so many people's horoscopes, and there are very few who are extremely good or extremely bad. Most people have an average pattern."

Qiu Qingkong was worried: "Teacher, is my horoscope bad? I won't go bankrupt in the second half of my life, right?"

Chu Qianli comforted him: "Don't worry, anyone who feels that his life is miserable is definitely out of the worst category. People with truly bad minds don't have time to lament about their miserable lives."

"Why?"

"Because they never live to feel sad about their fate." Chu Qianli pondered for a few seconds and added, "According to some theories, horoscopes should not be divided into good and bad, but any horoscope needs time to show up. Some people's lives are too short, and even the horoscope cannot show up completely. This is a very bad situation."

"So don't be sad, if you feel that life is hard, then you are already beyond some people."

Qiu Qingkong seemed to understand but not quite.

The three of them found a restaurant nearby to have some midnight snack, chatted and talked about other things, and the work was officially declared over.

Although Chu Qianli did not hold a debut ceremony, her metaphysical background check was obviously more effective. Qiu Qingkong handed the information to the staff for investigation, and soon they kept their promise and transferred the money, and even paid taxes for Chu Qianli.

In the classroom, Chu Qianli looked at the account numbers and exclaimed: "Xiao Ke is becoming more and more professional?"

Qiu Qingkong: "Hi, we have been investigating very strictly recently, so we just did it together."

Because Chu Qianli and others had chatted with the company's trainees, and Qiu Qingkong was very concerned about the audition progress, the three of them would watch the show in their spare time.

Chu Qianli had never seen a talent show before. She looked at the strange-looking first dance stage and asked in confusion, "So what are people selecting? You said that popularity has nothing to do with strength, so what are the judging criteria?"

Tan Muxing said pertinently: "The capital power behind it."

Qiu Qingkong: "No, no, no, it's not just about the money, it's also about the talent for comedy."

As a villager, Chu Qianli was even more confused: "?"

Chu Qianli suddenly realized: "This show is looking for rich crosstalk performers? Then I can do it too?"

Before the talent show, Shi Bude successfully changed his name. He participated in the recording directly with the new name, which made his teammates and art managers laugh.

The trainees in the same company did not expect Shi Cheng to change his name. They sighed and said, "It's not easy for Brother Shi. I thought being rejected in the background check was bad enough, but now I'm not sure if changing the name is worse than being rejected!"

"Brother Shi Cheng, what was the company thinking when they gave you this stage name? Your real name is at least better than this, right?"

"Shi Bud, from now on you should call me Shi Bud!" Shi Bud corrected earnestly, waving his hands and saying, "Hey, you don't understand. The master calculated it. Not everyone has the blessing sent by heaven."

Shi Bude later asked around and found out that he was the only one who changed his name that day, and not everyone had this privilege.

"No, I don't want this kind of blessing either..."

The instructors who watched the first stage performance had the same confusion. After watching the performance, they had no intention of cueing Shibude, but now they found his name interesting and asked curiously, "Why are you named this? What did your parents think at the time?"

When a certain instructor raised his hand to gesture, he deliberately made a gesture to stop him and jokingly said, "Shi Bu De? No way?"

A teammate answered quickly, "Brother Shi didn't call it that before he went on the show. Our company asked someone to calculate it for him, and then he really obeyed and changed it!"

"How much hatred do the people your company hired have against you?" The instructor said blankly, "I thought the stage name should be changed to something nicer."

Shi Bud quickly spoke up for Chu Qianli and explained, "No, the master said that changing the name to this would help me become famous. He can help me a little. She has no grudge against me..."

Seeing that he was convinced, the teacher teased him, "Have you ever thought that some things are superstitions, and the master might be teasing you?"

Shi Bude argued confidently: "Why doesn't she tease others instead of me? I don't have anything to show for it, and teasing me won't do her any good!"

The instructor laughed and said, "Why do you want to participate in the show when you have nothing to show for it?"

Shibude: "I'm here to sell things for the company."

Everyone looked surprised and didn't understand what he said for a moment. Even his teammates looked at him in confusion.

"Selling things? What are you selling?" The instructor held up the signature product on the table and asked with a smile, "Are you here to sell drinks?"

“No, that’s not our company’s business.”

"So what do you sell?"

"Selling it now?" Shi Bude was stunned. He didn't expect that the instructor was willing to give him a chance. He became energetic in a second and decisively pulled his teammates over.

He started to talk quickly: "Super Captain Zhou Qing D, can dance, sing and compose, has the longest training period in the company, has bad luck and never makes a debut, has a high cost-performance ratio, clearing out the stock! If he is not popular anymore, I suggest crowdfunding to terminate the contract, and I guarantee that the termination price will be settled!"

"Hongyan is a great face, young, good at rap, a natural talent for the stage, can be a vase and a fighter, what else do you need a bicycle for? He is honest and trustworthy, and you won't lose money if you invest in him!"

"Lead singer Liu Ti..."

Shi Bud spoke so fast that he didn't even take a breath the whole time, which instantly stunned everyone present and they didn't know how to interrupt him.

Before the instructor could react, Shi Bud introduced several people in a row, as if he was going to talk about everything from beginning to end!

"Okay, okay, stop for a minute. You are here to sell out your teammates..." The instructor's head was buzzing when he heard this. He was stunned and asked, "Then what are you good at? Why don't you introduce yourself?"

Shi Bude: "Oh, I want to go into sales, but not fake goods. I will leave after I sell them."

Instructor: “?”

[Good fellow, good fellow, this company even has a shopping guide for its talent show!]

[I've seen teammates sold in games, but can you actually sell teammates?]

[Xiao Shi is a good person. He knows what he is not good at and he also knows not to sell fake goods.]

[I almost vomited from laughing. Damn, I remembered him after just one episode. The script was well written this time.]

[Company: Just sell it when I tell you to? You, the tenant, still want to sell the landlord's house?]

Shi Bude received a lot of attention on his first stage performance, and there was indeed a tendency for him to become popular, which made him more convinced of Chu Qianli's words.

It was impossible for him to have a camera shot in the first place, and his name became a meme and people remembered it. Isn't it the name that helped him?

Of course, Shi Bude did not dare to act rashly. He remembered what his master had said: he would be popular in the next year or so, but if he could not transform himself, his career would immediately fall into decline.

In the dormitory, trainees from other companies heard about Shi Bude's story and asked enviously, "Why doesn't our company hire someone to do this? So did the master say whether you can debut?"

"Isn't this the Chosen One who will definitely debut?"

"Do you have the master's contact information? I want to calculate it too!"

"No, actually the master advised me not to be a boy band idol, saying that it wouldn't work for me." Shi Budde sighed, "She seems to be a friend of the company's senior management, and was asked by the company to come. She had been refusing for a long time."

"Why are you making excuses?"

"People in the company asked her what she would be good at, and she said as long as she didn't form a boy band, it would be fine."

"But didn't your company send someone here?"

"So Master, you have been making excuses for a long time, right?"

“…”

[Master: What bad luck.]

[It’s so funny, I can totally imagine the Master’s helplessness: Save me, save me, save me!]

[Are you sure the master named you Shibude? Maybe the master was horrified after watching the performance and shouted "No way!"

[Master: If we don’t form a boy band, does it still count? Can’t you see it yourself?]

[I understand. The master gave you this name to tell the audience not to do it, just like holding up a sign telling you to run away.]

Shi Bude becomes the magical topic of the show. He is very popular on the Internet. During the recording, he is as excited as selling goods when shooting commercials, but inexplicably he is unwilling to make his debut.

According to him, the master predicted that he would only be popular for more than a year and that he had to complete his transformation during this period. However, the two-year contract for debuting in a boy group greatly restricted his own development.

Shi Bude never urges fans to vote, but he is extremely keen on advertising placement and will never miss it as long as it can sell things.

One time, the trainees didn’t want to disturb Budd who was sleeping, so they wanted him to shoot one less shot to promote the title sponsor. Unexpectedly, this made Budd so excited that he jumped out of bed on the spot!

The trainee holding a drink looked at Shi Bud who was doing somersaults, and said in a daze: "Brother Shi, you practiced until the early morning yesterday, why don't you sleep a little longer? In fact, you can just go and shoot alone..."

Shi Bude shook his head desperately: "No, no, no, sleeping is not as important as selling goods. This is not an advertisement, it's my bright future!"

“…”

[Sbude: You choose the show, I sell the goods, we both have a bright future.]

[But to be honest, the snacks he recommended last time were quite delicious, but the bag was taken away by the dormitory manager.]

[Don’t spend money to vote for him, you can spend money to buy the same items as him, it’s really good to promote the goods. ]

[And his hair spray is also very useful! ! ]

[I've watched him sell for a long time, and I always think that the drinks he chooses taste better than those picked by other contestants.]

[And it’s cheap. The key is cheap. I’ll just buy the same model.]

On the night of debut, Shi Bude was a hot topic but did not form a group. He was so moved that he almost cried on the spot, and decided to seize the time to transform while maintaining his popularity.

The company was originally hesitant, as they couldn't really let an artist be a live-streaming host. Unexpectedly, Shi Bude was chosen by a lifestyle variety show to become the show's permanent host.

His main job is to recommend inexpensive and high-quality items to the audience, and then teach them various life skills. Each show also invites well-known celebrities as guests to exchange daily tips with them.

This lifestyle show often has recipes and products that go viral. It already has a big name host, and now they are just looking for a young host to pair up with.

The ratings and clicks of the program have been stable, and it is estimated that it will be broadcast for many more years. Recording the program can also accumulate connections in the industry, which is something that many newcomers cannot have. If Shi Bude does well, he may be more stable than the boy band.

The popularity of Stupid also gave rise to ten unsolved mysteries of the talent show, one of which is "who is the master that Stupid is looking for?"

"You recommend things every day, why don't you recommend the masters?"

"I'm afraid the master will find it unlucky..." Shi Bud pulled out his trouser pockets again and showed them to everyone. He said hurriedly, "No, I'm so poor that I don't have a penny in my pocket. I can't hire a master by myself. Didn't I fleece the company in the beginning?"

"Wait until I have enough money to buy the company, then I will know the master's name and recommend him to everyone!"

[Company: ??? I found someone for you, does that mean you have to do this?! ? ]

[Master: Please believe in science, and let us who practice metaphysics go. Go and persecute them.]

[The master was so frightened that he ascended into space overnight, still shouting: No way!]

People on the Internet were discussing frantically who the master behind Shi Bude was, but Chu Qianli, who was far away from the Internet, was preparing for the exam seriously.

In the library, Chu Qianli was furtively touching her phone, but when she looked up, she was met with a chilling gaze from He Shichen. She had no choice but to put the phone down and shrink back to talk to Mu Xing unbearably.

Qiu Qingkong was sitting next to her, working on her homework with her head down. Qi Yan, who was sitting opposite her, noticed something unusual and smiled. She watched Chu Qianli's little movements with interest.

The Cardcaptor Girls were controlled by someone.

In order to prevent Chu Qianli from failing the course and having to retake the exam, He Shichen forcefully joined the group chat of three people and said that he would keep a close eye on the developments during the final period and that he would leave the group as soon as the final exam was over.

Chu Qianli didn't care about the monitoring of the banknote printing machine. She immediately created another small group with Tan Muxing and Qiu Qingkong. As long as she lives, she will continue to create groups. How could she be stumped by such a small matter?

When Qi Yan heard about this, she asked to join the group chat as well. It wasn't that she was planning to keep an eye on Chu Qianli to learn, but she simply wanted to be influenced by the little master on a daily basis and learn some metaphysical knowledge.

He Shichen found out that Qiu Qingkong had dragged Qi Yan into the group. He also heard the reason why Qi Yan joined and immediately frowned: "Are you playing against me? I let her study, and you want to listen to metaphysics?"

Qi Yan smiled and said, "That's not the case. But if you don't have the ability to raise a child, you can find someone else to raise her. I don't think it's necessary to watch her study every day."

He Shichen gritted his teeth and said, "This has nothing to do with the ability of the family. She doesn't have to study in the future, but at least she has to receive basic education. This is the lowest bottom line!"

Qi Yan: "Generally speaking, middle-class families are most anxious about their children's education. If you analyze it from this point of view, I think you are not rich enough."

He Shichen sneered: "If we just talk about investment, I should be better than you, right?"

Qi Yan: "Does being able to only look at numbers make you so proud? Many things still depend on personal connections."

He Shichen and Qi Yan inexplicably disagree on the issue of education. One believes that basic education must be completed, while the other believes that it is what ordinary people follow and that wealthy families can give their children more freedom.

Tan Muxing weakly advised: "Don't compare family backgrounds, and don't worry about education. Both are reasonable."

Chu Qianli watched the two sides confront each other, but she was not afraid of the excitement and cheered from the side: "Fight, fight... No, reasonable debate can promote social development!"

Tan Muxing: "..."
