Chapter 47 Chapter 47 All-Staff Show
As they were talking, a reminder sound of performance precautions rang out in the venue. Song Rui and Shen Sisi were startled, knowing that this was a notice that the performance was about to begin.
Sure enough, after the prompt was played twice, the lights in the venue dimmed, and the voices of the trainees were heard, and the countdown began in conjunction with the countdown on the big screen.
The girls in the back row had already returned to their seats and had also taken out their phones and cameras to start filming. Shen Sisi used the last bit of time to adjust the camera. Song Rui turned on the video and looked at the stage, intending to see every performance with her own eyes.
The countdown ended and the trainees appeared on the stage.
The whole audience burst into cheers.
In the lounge backstage, Lu Yao opened his eyes when he heard the sound and looked at the feedback on TV leisurely.
The lights focus, the music starts, the camera zooms in and out, and our companions in daily life are now standing on the stage across the screen, showing off their youth and passion.
Through the layers of walls, Lu Yao could hear faint and hazy cheers. The enthusiasm surged like a tide, drowning him in this ocean.
He closed his eyes, the dull and heavy echo in his ears made him feel as if he was really under the water, his heart beating slowly with the rhythm, his skin trembling, as if he was standing on the stage, with the burning light, the focused eyes, and the chasing camera falling on him.
The lingering sound that reached the backstage made him feel the eyes focused on him.
It was not until the cheers were mixed with the sound of approaching footsteps and voices that Lu Yao suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
Like a drowning man, Lu Yao coughed violently and uncontrollably due to the sudden stimulation to his lungs. He bent down, and his trembling body pulled at the wound on his back, causing a dense and stinging pain.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai You looked for Lu Yao as soon as he entered the room. Seeing his current appearance, he hurried to Lu Yao's side.
He stretched out his hand to pat Lu Yao's back to relieve his anger, but as soon as he raised his hand, he remembered that Lu Yao didn't like being touched by others, so he quickly put it down and took a bottle of water and handed it to Lu Yao.
After Lu Yao had caught his breath, he saw the hand raised in front of him. Although he knew that drinking water and coughing were not the same thing, he still took the bottle of water and took a sip. In response to Bai You's worried question, "Are you okay?", he replied, "I'm fine."
Bai You still looked worried, but due to the urgent time for changing clothes, he could not ask Lu Yao more questions. At the urging of the makeup artist, he took the clothes and hurried to change.
When Lu Yao turned around, he saw Qiu Yuge sitting in front of the makeup mirror, looking at herself in the mirror for who knows how long.
It's strange that Qiu Yuge obviously cares a lot but never says it.
Lu Yao sat back on the sofa with the water in his hand. His leisurely figure was out of place in the dressing room.
On the stage, the host was announcing the voting rules. Offstage, Shen Sisi kept watching the video clip and asked Song Rui, "Was Lu Yao really not on that stage just now?"
Song Rui doubted her own eyes, but she looked again and again, counting the number of people one by one. There were indeed only fifteen people, "Lu Yao is not there."
“How could it be!”
Song Rui frowned, unable to understand why. "Why isn't Lu Yao on stage? Shouldn't everyone perform together during the opening performance?"
Shen Sisi was very angry: "There were obviously sixteen people, but only fifteen were allowed to go on stage. Isn't this a blatant act of sabotage! I understand! This is because Minghui Entertainment saw that Lu Yao performed too well last time, and they were afraid that Lu Yao's popularity would increase and affect their feelings, so they deliberately suppressed Lu Yao!" The more Shen Sisi spoke, the more she felt that it made sense. She was furious on the spot, and she only regretted that there was no one on the stage except the host, otherwise she would have shouted something to express her anger at the moment.
Song Rui was also very angry. Although she did not think that Minghui Entertainment would openly suppress the trainees in this way, it was an indisputable fact that Lu Yao did not appear in the full-staff program. Everyone was there except Lu Yao, which was unacceptable.
Most of the audience noticed this. They looked at each other, confirmed with their companions, and guessed at each other, but they couldn't figure out why.

[Surprise! Lu Yao didn't appear on stage!]

Main Building
I was at a concert, the opening show had ended, fifteen people came on stage, but Lu Yao was not on it.
[1st floor]
What's the meaning?
【2nd floor】
+1 for being there. It was a show for everyone, but someone didn't make it! Is this a first for this?
【3rd floor】
Didn't the host explain?
【4th floor】
There was no explanation, I couldn't believe my eyes, I counted several times, there were indeed only fifteen people on the stage, Lu Yao was not among them.
[5th floor]
There must be something wrong here.
6th Floor
Did they find that moving Lu Yao to the fifth generation was useless, and were planning to move him back to the sixth generation?
7th Floor
Reply [6th floor]
Good, good, the royal family should go away
8th Floor
No, the idea that Lu Yao was promoted from the sixth generation is a complete rumor, right? Has anyone ever said he was originally from the sixth generation? Although he's a bit younger than the fifth generation, he's not the sixth generation, right?
9th Floor
Reply [8th floor]
Well, this is not the end. If the fifth generation returns the product, I can only quit the company directly and can't even go to the sixth generation. Hahahaha happy
10th Floor
Reply [9th floor]
Where does such malice come from? The kid has been diligently practicing the fifth generation, and nothing bad has happened to him since it was released to the public two months ago. Is it necessary to be so vicious?
11th Floor
Reply [10th floor]
I just naturally dislike the royal family.
…
There were endless discussions in the forum, and there were also many comments under Minghui Entertainment’s official Weibo post announcing the concert, all questioning Lu Yao.
At the concert, the program was still proceeding in an orderly manner. After the vocal stage of Qiu Yuge's group ended, the VCR of Bai You's group began to play on the big screen.
Seeing Lu Yao's figure on the big screen, Shen Sisi breathed a sigh of relief.
In just a short period of time, countless bad thoughts flashed through Shen Sisi's mind, from Minghui Entertainment's deliberate suppression and blatant sabotage at the concert, to Lu Yao's withdrawal from the fifth generation and joining the sixth generation, or even leaving the company and returning to being an ordinary person... The more Shen Sisi thought about it, the more worried and scared she became. She was afraid that she would never see her little idol again before she had time to get to know him better.
Fortunately, Lu Yao is still here and has not left.
But if Lu Yao is still there, why not let him perform in the opening show? It turns out that Minghui Entertainment is openly suppressing Lu Yao!
After the sigh of relief, it was followed by uncontrollable anger.
Shen Sisi's eyes widened to the point of spitting fire, and Song Rui quickly whispered to comfort her, "Minghui Entertainment wouldn't be that stupid to do something like this on purpose. It's too obvious. There must be other reasons. Let's wait until the concert is over and see how they explain it."
Song Rui patted Shen Sisi's arm, as if to comfort her, but her forced calmness made it seem more like she was comforting herself.
Shen Sisi regained her composure and sneered, "If Minghui Entertainment doesn't give us an explanation, all of us elks will make this bastard company pay!"
