Chapter 481: No More Room for Improvement

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At least Mr. Yun Xiao added another word to his repertoire of brief responses.

He would say to the trainees who advance to a higher rating, “Good.”

Towards the trainees who either remained in their original groups or were demoted, Mr. Yun Xiao gave them his usual encouragement to keep it up.

Group F members were the stars of the evaluation this time around. They walked into the judging room confidently and returned glowing in enthusiasm.

Out of the eighteen members of Group F, Ye Weiyang the lucky star joined Group A, three went into Group B, four were assigned to Group C while the remainder were promoted to Group D.

So far, no one from Group F was held back. All of them managed to climb up the rating ladder. As for the other trainees, there were some who went from Group B to C and some shifts going on between Group C and D, but no one was demoted to Group F.

Surprisingly, three members of Group A fell off the ladder to Group B. They were He Lu and two other Group A members.

Apart from Group F’s Ye Weiyang, Ji Jingyan and Liu Qianyu advanced to Group A. Everyone had an opinion about them being under the management of Cosmos Entertainment.

There was a great deal of resentment circling around the set. The trainees were convinced that the competition was rigged and that they were predetermined winners.

Other than the trainees from Cosmos Entertainment, the only person who remained in Group A was Su Ruowan.

Su Ruowan had known early on that she would make the cut since she was one of the pre-decided winners. Nevertheless, she was more than capable to debut even without them reserving the debuting spot. The reservation was only a precautionary measure.

He Lu and the two former Group A girls were in the same boat. Unable to criticize one another, they put all their resentment and hate on Cosmos Entertainment’s trainees.

After her turn, He Lu seized an opportunity to give her uncle a call. She wailed and begged on the phone, hung up on dropping out of the winning spots. He Lu had to find a way to get back up and make her debut somehow.

By the time she returned, she caught a glimpse of Su Ruowan exiting the judging room. To her dismay, Su Ruowan retained her A rating and was not demoted like her.

Why?

How was Su Ruowan better than her? Why had she fallen in rank while Su Ruowan did not? Resentful and bitter, He Lu wanted to quelch all those on top of her under her feet.

Su Ruowan looked at He Lu and approached with a worried look on her face. “Don’t worry, Lulu. With skills like yours, you will definitely make it to Group A. The program also looks at popularity.”

She did not want to see He Lu leave Group A, not because she was best friends with He Lu, but because Group A would be lorded over by the Song Wenye and her b*tches with He Lu gone.

With He Lu around, Su Ruowan could at least stick together with her. She would be left alone to fend against Song Wenye and the rest without He Lu by her side. Su Ruowan wished those b*tches could just jump off the cliff!

“Yeah.” He Lu was displeased that she was bumped off while Su Ruowan survived. Although jealous of Su Ruowan’s good luck, He Lu did not show it. She buried all her emotions deep within.

They should be in this together since they were besties.

Nothing appeared out of the ordinary to Su Ruowan. She never thought of He Lu as a friend since, to her, He Lu was only a pawn to do her bidding.

The pair had their own ulterior motives but still played the part of best buddies. The other trainees were envious of their friendship.

Next was to select the trainee to take center stage. The central position to perform the theme song was an opportunity for every trainee to gain more visibility, fans, and support.

The lead role would be chosen among the members of Group A, and it had to be someone with the strongest overall performance. The person’s look and appearance were also taken into account. The mentors and trainees who were not in the running to perform center stage would be casting their votes.

The trainees’ votes would account for twenty percent while the mentor’s collective voice eighty percent.

The reshuffled Group A took to the stage once more under the watchful eyes of the trainees. The remaining trainees were now the audience and judges.

Group A was undoubtedly strong.

The trainees had never seen Ye Weiyang in action. She was not the best dancer, the best looker, or had the best figure. Yet, she was the first to draw their attention among the group of seven.

The mentors were still blown away by Ye Weiyang as she glowed on stage. Dancing together with the other evenly matched contestants, Ye Weiyang was not the most outstanding, but she was definitely the most eye-catching and striking.

Ye Weiyang’s stage presence alone made her a talented contestant!

At the end of Group A’s first performance as a group, the ballot began to decide who would take the lead role.

Without hesitation, Shen Xi picked Ye Weiyang.

The remaining mentors weighed in all the factors and decided on the best singer and dancer. As of now, Su Ruowan was ranked first.

Since it was an anonymous vote, the trainees had no fear of repercussions if they were to go against Cosmos Entertainment’s trainees. With the exception of Group F, the trainees cast their votes on Su Ruowan. It did not matter to them who got it as long as it was not someone from Cosmos Entertainment.

The result was released with Su Ruowan winning the lead role by a sliding majority. On stage, she humbly bowed and thanked the mentors and students for their support.

Following the outcome, the host received the cue from the director and interviewed Shen Xi. “Mr. Yun Xiao, can I ask why you voted for Ye Weiyang?”

With the central position in the bag, Su Ruowan may be looking expectantly at Mr. Yun Xiao, but inside, she was chewing him out. Nothing good ever came out of his mouth.

As expected, Shen Xi turned to the host. “Ye Weiyang showed the most improvement, I’m sure everyone would agree to that.”

This was true. No one was going to refute that fact.

The host nodded and switched the direction of the discussion. “But Su Ruowan was the most consistent and brilliant.”

Instead of adding to the comment, Shen Xi turned her eyes to Su Ruowan. Her tone was flat as usual. “While other people were improving, you showed no advancement.”

The remark saw Su Ruowan seething with resentment. She did not improve because she was outstanding enough to crush all her opponents. She modestly smiled. “You’re right, Mr. Yun Xiao. I will try harder.”

“If I’m being honest, there’s no more room for you to improve.” Shen Xi dropped a bomb.

The smile on Su Ruowan’s face froze.

The mentors exchanged glances. They knew Mr.. Yun Xiao was aloof and not much of a talker, but it never crossed their minds that he had a sharp tongue. Was he not afraid to break Su Ruowan’s spirit by socking it to her?
