Chapter 32

I Haven’t Seen Anyone Better-looking Than Her

“Huh?” The young nurse looked at the bullet screen. She was about to exit from the show but her hand paused mid video. She became nervous upon seeing the comments. “What’s wrong with this bullet screen? Was there a reversal of the ranking?”

However on second thought, she thought it impossible. The young nurse smiled and shook her head, thinking to herself that she must be crazy. Anyone who had watched Best Idol before knew that there was always an insurmountable gap between Ye Shuning and the second place contestant.

This had become a feature of the program.

This time the performance was a knockout match. The final results of the top four groups included the popular votes that they had received. Wu Yatong was in seventh place. When her score came out, Meng Fu’s team had a total of 756 votes. Jiang Ran ranked fourth and her team had 1126 votes. This meant that Meng Fu had to get at least 370 votes to turn the situation around.

Meng Fu had received 62 votes for her previous public performance. Getting 370 votes was asking a lot. Everyone who saw Wu Yatong’s final vote felt that Meng Fu’s group was hopeless and that Wei Jin had no chance of winning.

“Mr. Jiang, I will pour a glass of water for you.” After watching for so long, the young nurse got up and prepared to go pour a glass of water for Mr. Jiang.

However, she noticed that Old Master Jiang was sitting on the bed, looking at the big screen motionlessly. The young nurse was stunned and could not help but look herself.

The program crew edited the show and added various special effects and sound effects.

When the young nurse turned her head, a lightning burst of white light flashed on the screen. There was a “dong” sound from the screen and the black screen vibrated while revealing the personal ranking of the top ten trainees.

No. 1 Ye Shuning, 689

No. 2 Meng Fu, 667

No. 3 Nan Qiu, 435

…

Team 8, total number of votes:

1408.

Group ranking:

Second place.

Ye Shuning’s record of having a score that far exceeded the second place score had been broken by Meng Fu. At the same time, the screen dimmed again and then white characters slowly appeared line by line.

“No one think highly of us

The soul of the team is the only thing that is undefeatable

This kind of courage is beyond everything

We will wait for you

At the next public performance”

The young nurse opened her mouth and looked at the ranking silently. An endless sea of comments flooded the bullet screen.

[Ah… my heart is bursting!]

[She actually won! She actually won!!]

[Damn! Damn! I am now a fan of hers!!!]

[It’s true that Meng Fu can’t sing. Who said that Meng Fu can’t dance? Come out now!]

Meng Fu had conquered the audience with her ability.

She was originally ranked fourth in the popular vote. One hour after the show was broadcast, she instantly jumped up to first place and dropped to third place, with her total number of votes getting closer and closer to the second place number.

**

The show received very positive feedback after it was broadcast.

Although Meng Fu still had many anti-fans, most of the passers-by fans became her fans. Zhao Fan, who had been paying attention to this, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She opened Weibo. Most of the marketing accounts had no more intention of publicizing news about Meng Fu. She surmised that it might probably be due to their switch to Sheng Entertainment.

The show was already halfway through. In fact, most of the players’ rankings had been set, especially the top six, who dedicated fanbases, which explained the gap between the top 6 and the others. It was not easy for anyone to overtake the person in front of her.

Meng Fu went from fourth to third and even came very close to second place. It might have been unexpected, but was reasonable. She had had a perfect performance last time. Although the program crew forbade the girls from going on Weibo to check their rankings, it was not strictly enforced. All of them knew their rankings.

Jiang Ran had poached Ding Liuyue to join her as she did not want Meng Fu. This left a bad impression on the netizens. Her ranking fell from the fifth to seventh place. She dropped out of the debut position.

In the afternoon, a group of trainees ate at the canteen.

Wei Jin paid close attention to Meng Fu’s ranking, and said excitedly, “Sister Fu, look, you are getting closer to second place!”

Meng Fu took a tomato and glanced at her rank indifferently. “Okay, I saw it.”

She could not be bothered with ranks so there was no surprise or excitement on her face.

“Why are you so emotionless?” Wei Jin could not help but look at her. “I am so thrilled that I am about to fly!”

They spoke softly amongst themselves. However, they were still heard by people next to them. The group next to them happened to be Jiang Ran and her teammates. There was no camera around them, so Jiang Ran did not hide her feelings.

“Meng Fu’s ranking is indeed high.” Every dining table could be considered a small clique. Ye Shuning and her team, as well as other girls from the same company who had good relationships with them, were at Jiang Ran’s table. “It was a fluke. Let’s wait for her next public performance.”

All of them were either seventeen or eighteen years old. Some were oversensitive and lost their cool. Seeing that Jiang Ran was unhappy, someone took the initiative to speak up.

“Yes.” Another girl with short hair also lowered her voice. “She merely comes close to reaching second place. Did she think that she was very formidable? If she is that capable, she should try to surpass Shuning.”

As soon as she made the remark, all the girls at the table could not help but break out in laughter. “Not anyone can compare with Shuning.”

Jiang Ran’s expression was no longer as stern as before. She glanced at Ye Shuning and smiled. “That’s right. Shuning’s opponents are the contestants on the international stage…”

Several girls giggled and laughed.

Ye Shuning cast a glance at them. “Alright, let’s go after finishing our food.”

They all worked very hard, especially Ye Shuning, who knew that her goal was to compete on the international stage. She had been working hard for this. She finished eating in no time.

When she got up and walked away, not even glancing at the people at the next table. She thought she might feel distasteful if she took another look at them.

There was no doubt that Ye Shuning was talented and she was proud of that. She became famous at a young age and had many fans. Everyone else was used to her mannerisms.

After they left, Wei Jin also sighed. “Sister Fu, Ye Shuning is indeed very talented. She has powerful backers too. Don’t mind her.”

Meng Fu glanced at her cell phone. “I know, you girls can eat first. I have something to do later.”

At the same time.

Over at Su Cheng’s residence, the big screen on the first floor was live-streaming the talent competition organized by Lizi Station. It was broadcasting Best Idol.

Wei Jingke came back from outside and heard some sounds. “Su Di, what are you watching?”

“This is Ms. Meng’s talent competition.” Su Di brought a teapot from the kitchen.

Wei Jingke had been interested in Mrs. Meng ever since Su Di had mentioned that Meng Fu was exceptionally beautiful. He could not help but look at the screen and found a seat on the sofa. “Meng Fu? Then I’ll have to see what she looks like…”

He took a piece of apple and leaned back casually. He was skeptical of Su Di’s words. Wei Jingke had never seen anyone who was more gorgeous than Feng Weizheng. He surmised that Su Di had seen too few women. He looked at the screen while thinking to himself.
