Chapter 81: Chapter 79 Zixuan Meixuan

Lv Fangxin and her group had just sat down.

Another girl group, Dream Flight, stepped onto the stage.

Their outfits were entirely different from the previous groups; most earlier groups had either a mature or youthful vibe.

This group, however, was clad in athletic wear, looking more like a street dance crew than an idol group.

Their strongest asset also happened to be their dance skills—each member performed at a professional level.

Moreover, over half of the group adopted an androgynous style. One couldn’t help but wonder what their agency was thinking. Were they trying to carve out an unconventional path in the girl group market?

The most eye-catching of them all was the member in the center position (C-position).

This girl had striking, sharp features reminiscent of a Japanese ukiyo-e painting—narrow eyes, a slightly pointed nose, thin lips, and exuding an explosive intensity.

This girl, Guo Xia, apparently had some industry fame. A few members from other girl groups even recognized her; Lu Bingbing also knew of her.

Because when the Dream Flight group debuted, they released their own lead single, and their agency had a certain level of recognition in the industry, Galaxy had gathered information about them.

As the leader, Lu Bingbing paid particular attention, reviewing the relevant details.

She knew that this girl, Guo Xia, was an excellent dancer.

Next came two more girl groups.

One of them was quite plain—average looks, average figures, and stubby legs.

The other group, however, was made up entirely of "mature mom vibes"—slim waists, long legs, and prominent curves.

Their agency seemed to be aiming for a glamorous, older-woman aesthetic. However, given the actual age of the three members, one couldn’t help but wonder what kind of audience would find them appealing.

They seemed out of place among this crowd of youthful, vibrant girls.

Standing side-by-side, the first group was completely overshadowed and visibly wilted under the pressure, their faces betraying feelings of insecurity.

Behind the camera, Yang Xiaoyue directed the cameraman to focus on a close-up comparison of the two groups’ legs.

When the trio of mature women walked toward the seating area, the beanpole-like girls nearby panicked, fearing the stark comparison if they were seated side by side.

But Ye Yuwei’s group, with their killer bodies and stunning looks, remained unbothered.

They had so much confidence in their physiques and beauty that they felt they could hold their own against any competition.

Then, when the next group’s name was called on the big screen, Ye Yuwei and Lu Bingbing’s attention immediately snapped toward the stage.

It was none other than their archrival, the Magical Numbers girl group.

Their boss had almost secured the agency rights for Galaxy back in the day; after failing, he angrily established his own girl group that followed a similar model to theirs.

To make matters worse, he had also built their small theater in Shenghai, the very location of Galaxy’s main group.

This boss was willing to spend; rumor had it he poured over 300 million yuan into the venture.

At the time, they were terrified, convinced they’d never be able to compete with such a colossus.

Who would’ve thought that the company would end up sabotaging itself, squandering money left and right?

Their operations were even worse than Galaxy’s, which was notoriously criticized by the fans. The group disbanded in its second year after the theater’s completion.

This time, it was said to be their final appearance before disbandment.

The members stepping onto the stage were all people Ye Yuwei and Lu Bingbing recognized.

"Aren’t they just pitiable?" Lu Bingbing muttered sarcastically under her breath.

Ye Yuwei gave a similarly amused smile. After all, this girl group’s company had used every trick in the book to compete with them back in the day.

Even though there was no personal animosity between them, it was just like a war between two nations—there was no way for the soldiers on either side to be friendly.

"Hello, everyone! We are the former Magical Numbers girl group." A spirited, sweet-faced and excitable Fan Lei introduced herself loudly.

At this moment, her eyes brimmed with emotion. Participating in this competition could only be seen as a last-ditch effort for the five of them.

In truth, the group once had over a dozen members, but only these five were given this opportunity, carrying the hopes of their entire team.

At the same time, they had reached a crossroads in their lives.

For girl groups, they were already beyond the prime age limit, nearing retirement.

They couldn’t imagine what they’d do after leaving their group. Like many girls in Galaxy, they lacked specialized skills, had grown accustomed to performing on stage, the dazzling lights, and the cheers of their fans.

They weren’t intimidated by anyone here because they believed they were the best girl group in Huaxia.

Their confidence stemmed from the millions invested in them by their former company over three years, alongside collaborations with renowned songwriters and choreographers in the industry.

They always believed that if their company had been better managed and given them the importance they deserved, they would never have ended up like this.

Today, they weren’t just here to seek new job prospects—they were using this opportunity on this platform to prove to everyone that their downfall wasn’t due to incompetence but rather to their leaders’ incompetence.

Next, eight girl groups from Qingzhu Entertainment, Nanming Entertainment, Dynamic United, New Entertainment, Fantasy Culture, Dream Planting Culture, Imagine Media, and You and Me Entertainment took the stage one after another.

Among them, a girl from Dynamic United seemed a little off in the head.

Her name was Zhu Riri, and her teammate was Liu Mengyao.

As more and more girls entered the arena, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

For those who had experienced girl group auditions before, it was manageable, but for the rest, the tension became unbearable.

It was at this point that the screen announced the next girl group: Milky Way Girl.

As soon as the name was called out, the crowd erupted into a frenzy.

The Milky Way Girl Group didn’t necessarily excite the girls present.

Their agency, Tianhua Entertainment, was simply too powerful.

In several recent popular audition shows, trainees from this company had successfully debuted.

Moreover, the Milky Way Girl Group even enjoyed popularity in Japan.

In Huaxia’s entertainment scene, Japanese girl groups were recognized as the strongest, and some of the girls present had only recently been eliminated from there and returned home.

While Milky Way Girl wasn’t an authentic Japanese girl group—all its members were from Huaxia—it was still enough to inspire admiration among the other contestants.

When the seven members entered, their dominating presence was immediately evident.

Dressed in full-length red outfits with standard Japanese-style makeup, the lead member had long, wavy black hair, a slender frame, finely chiseled features, and legs that were stunningly white and straight. Her charm was both sweet and mature, exuding an irresistible aura.

"Oh my God! That’s Wu Zixuan, right? She’s gorgeous!" A girl from Fantasy Culture gasped, covering her face in awe.

"The one in the center position, isn’t that Meng Meixuan?" Another girl craned her neck for a better view.

"This is incredible. Look at them—Zixuan and Meixuan are already seasoned performers. They’re the center of attention wherever they go." Zhang Jingyun from Half of the Golden Autumn expressed envy in her tone, though her face betrayed a dull sense of defeat.

The earlier groups’ appearances had already shaken her confidence to its core.

Each group was more beautiful than the last, their company backgrounds getting progressively more impressive—what could they possibly use to compete against them?

At this moment, even Wu Zixuan was somewhat taken aback. She hadn’t expected to generate this much buzz among the contestants.

Her return with Meng Meixuan this time was actually just a contingency plan. Their company’s boss had told her she’d only need to perform once or twice before leaving.

Personally, she didn’t want to return, as the girl group scene in Huaxia couldn’t survive.

Throughout Southeast Asia, apart from Japan itself, there wasn’t a single country where girl groups could genuinely thrive and expand their influence to others.

Wu Zixuan wore a composed smile, her years of professional training allowing her to project flawless confidence.

However, in Meng Meixuan’s heart, a shadow loomed. The company’s focus this time was on her.

In Japan, she had already lost her chance to make a mark within the Milky Way Girl Group.

Her return this time was a matter of necessity. When the company negotiated with Tencent, they had promised her a debut spot, aiming to see if she could rise to fame in Huaxia.

Wu Zixuan, in reality, was nothing more than a bargaining chip in the negotiations between Tianhua and Tencent for this deal.

What Meng Meixuan hadn’t anticipated was just how popular Wu Zixuan remained.

"No way. I need to find a way to push her down." Meng Meixuan cast a cold, calculating glance at her teammate without letting her feelings show.
