“Hello, everyone, I’m the all-around producer, Ji Mian,” announced a tall and slender alpha, standing at the center stage as the lights converged upon her, lifting her up from below.
“Ji Mian! Ji Mian! I love her songs so much!” Jiang Nan shook Xiao Yanjin’s shoulder, excitement causing her fake eyelashes to come loose.
Xiao Yanjin: “…Can you calm down?”
It wasn’t surprising to see Ji Mian, but what intrigued her was the similarity between this person’s name and her sister-in-law’s name from her other world.
“Ji Mian! Ji Mian! Ji Mian!”
Subconsciously, she glanced at Ji Yunnuo, who merely politely clapped, her expression calm. It wasn’t surprising; after all, Ji Mian was her sister-in-law!
Apart from Ji Mian, several other mentors also appeared.
They first performed their most popular representative works.
Then Ji Mian introduced the dance instructor, male alpha Wei Ge, the vocal instructor, female Omega Lan Ziqing, and the rap instructor, male Omega An.
“Please have a seat, everyone,” Ji Mian addressed the enthusiastic trainees. “Here, we have the female talent show ‘Chase Your Dreams, Girl!’ brought to you by Dream Video, sponsored by Ai Li Bao Baby Formula…”
It was evident from the enthusiasm of the crowd that the show had a high level of anticipation, as Ji Mian meticulously listed off the sponsors’ names.
Xiao Yanjin couldn’t help but stifle a yawn. Was she done yet?
“Very soon, you will begin the real competition,” Ji Mian stated solemnly.
This season’s format would feature initial stage battles between two companies.
“Nervous, huh?” Most people were ecstatic.
The first initial stage matchup was between the Orleans Entertainment Company and the Unknown Entertainment Company.
One company had only two members, while the other had three.
In terms of numbers, the Unknown Entertainment Company was definitely at a disadvantage, but the initial stage would test their skills.
Xiao Yanjin nodded eagerly, eager to see what these trainees were capable of.
The Orleans company took the stage first, performing a simple bunny dance.
“Little bunnies, be good, open the door quickly… Hello, everyone, we are the Sweetheart Group,” the two Omega girls each made a heart gesture.
Audience: “…”
Xiao Yanjin almost spat out her overnight rice. Seriously? How did the production team select these people?
Sweetheart what? There was nothing sweet about it; instead, she saw an old cow pretending to be young.
Meanwhile, the Unknown Entertainment Company had an alpha whose lyrics consisted only of “kiss, kiss,” successfully making Ji Mian cringe with his oily wink. She couldn’t understand why an alpha would wink at another alpha when there were Omegas around!
Ji Mian sighed and shook her head. “I’m sorry, but your rating is an F.”
The two Sweetheart girls cried, “Teacher, please give us another chance!”
Ji Mian smiled. “No, you may not.”
Well, that was a great start, three F grades right off the bat.
Next, two more companies failed to achieve the coveted A grade.
Xiao Yanjin began to doubt the caliber of this season’s contestants.
“Please welcome members from What Entertainment Company and MOMOMO Entertainment Company to the stage,” the announcer’s voice stirred up the crowd.
“Do you know about the ‘Let Go’ girls from MOMOMO Entertainment?” Jiang Nan whispered to Xiao Yanjin.
“What about them?”
“One of them is a rap genius, Shi Zhenyi. She has over a million followers on Weibo and her rap skills are amazing. Some of her songs went viral on the platforms.”
“And there’s the alpha, He Rou, from What Entertainment Company, dressed in a red uniform. She trained overseas for five years, and her dancing is impeccable,” Zeng Heshi added, eyes fixed on the stage. “I’m sure their group will have two A grades!”
“The first A grade will definitely go to Shi Zhenyi!”
“The first A grade will go to He Rou!”
Xiao Yanjin couldn’t help but glance at them. Shi Zhenyi was an alpha, cool and handsome, with short hair tied into a braid, a few stray strands framing her slightly gloomy eyes.
On the other hand, He Rou had long, wavy hair, both beautiful and bold… Wait, wasn’t she the beta she met in the audition restroom?
Why was she a beta?
Did she accidentally walk into the wrong restroom again?
First up was the performance of the ‘Let Go’ girls.
Their style was consistent, and they chose a song by a famous rap artist.
“If life always has a dreamy journey, then I have no regrets in this life!” One of the trainees sang a slow song before the background music erupted.
Shi Zhenyi and her group danced around, starting their rap part.
“If it’s you, then so what, no one can take away everything I have, even if someone says something nasty, I will still dominate!” As the C-position member, Shi Zhenyi had more parts than the others, but her rap was powerful, her words clear, perfectly presenting her most explosive moments.
The music ebbed and flowed, and the audience below began to cheer, acknowledging Shi Zhenyi’s strength, even encouraging everyone to clap and cheer along with the music.
The rap instructor, An, clapped his hands, pleased to see a talented contestant so early in the competition. It was evident that she was a promising seed.
“Amazing, just amazing!” Jiang Nan and Zeng Heshi were among the dozens of people enthralled by the ‘Let Go’ group’s performance.
However, Xiao Yanjin couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. How could it be so noisy!
Suddenly, the music stopped, and the ‘Let Go’ group struck an ending pose. Their faces were not sweating, and their mouths were moving, breaths hurried.
Xiao Yanjin couldn’t help but ponder. No wonder when she auditioned, she noticed that the contestants before her would pant after their performances, but none matched the explosiveness of the ‘Let Go’ group. Even after dancing, their faces only showed a shy blush. It turned out they were panting to show others that they weren’t slacking off.
Maybe she should also take a moment to catch her breath after her performance.
“Very well done.” Finally seeing a group with considerable talent, Ji Mian was very pleased, and An praised them several times. After a brief chat, it was time for He Rou’s group to perform.
As her name suggested, He Rou was gentle and warm when speaking, appearing like a gentle and caring older sister. But when she danced, she was captivating, her slender waist twisting like a snake, her eyes flashing coquettishly, as if she could capture one’s heart.
Shi Zhenyi, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but stare, her throat dry. She suddenly shook her head; no, she couldn’t break her cool and aloof image.
All five of them were dressed in red uniforms, dancing effortlessly and singing without a hint of fatigue, showcasing their skills.
The audience’s interaction was extremely enthusiastic, and the cheers were no less than those for the ‘Let Go’ group.
When it was time for the ratings, the contestants clamored for them to battle first.
“Battle!!”
Soon, the cheers ignited the two strongest contestants from the two companies.
Despite the excitement in the air, Xiao Yanjin felt no interest and excused herself to the restroom.
As she entered, Xiao Yanjin made a point to carefully check the restroom signs to ensure she was in the right place before proceeding.
While she was in the restroom, two people walked in.
“I have a relative working on the production team. They just told me that our company is going to compete against Ji Yunnuo’s company. Our company isn’t well-known, and we’re up against a big company with a popular figure like Ji Yunnuo. We don’t stand a chance of gaining any popularity,” an alpha expressed concern.
Another alpha sneered, “Ji Yunnuo is only famous because of her sister-in-law and her family background. Besides her good looks, what real talent does she have?”
“But she has the highest popularity on the initial stage. Even if her talent is lacking, she still has more fans than us.”
“I’ve been saying, Omegas are nothing special. Throughout the years, have any Omega contestants had more popularity than alphas? Before going on stage, we were supposed to wait backstage together. I saw Ji Yunnuo’s company hasn’t put on their performance outfits yet. When the time comes, I’ll have Xiaoyan go lock the Omega dressing room to mess with her. If this embarrassing incident gets reported, where will the face of a wealthy heiress go?”
“Is there anyone in the restroom?”
“Right now, they’re all outside watching the ballet. Even if they’re in a hurry, they’ll wait until after the show ends.” After chatting for a while, the two left.
Xiao Yanjin understood their conversation, which was nothing more than jealousy towards Ji Yunnuo and an attempt to trip her up.
Resting her chin on her hand, Xiao Yanjin wondered whether she should tell Ji Yunnuo about it, but with her courage, it shouldn’t be a problem. After some thought, she decided to leave.
Approaching the public sink, an Omega from the Omega section exited.
Listening to the light footsteps, Xiao Yanjin’s body tensed. She sneakily glanced at the distance between her and Ji Yunnuo at the two sinks, and sure enough, it was her.
“How coincidental, I didn’t expect you to actually pass the audition,” Ji Yunnuo suddenly remarked.
