CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol
Chapter 93 - 91: All Flowers Bloom Together

Chapter 93: Chapter 91: All Flowers Bloom Together

Next up was Jiao Jinglan from Shuangjiao Culture. As the daughter of a superstar, she definitely carried some clout.

The five mentors on stage made jokes about her, but her singing and dancing skills were just average.

Then it was the Bright Moon Girl Group’s turn to take the stage.

The moment they appeared dressed in flowing red silk Hanfu, they won over the crowd with cheers.

Anyone who’s in the music industry has heard their signature hit, "Heart Like the Moon."

Lai Ruoxuan didn’t realize that as soon as she stepped on stage, she became the focus of many eyes.

Among the trainees present, there were a lot going for the sweet image, but she was the most famous one. Naturally, many who walked a similar path saw her as a rival.

Long Zitao was the first to speak: "If you’re creating a girl group, what kind should you create? For this girl group, you must include Huaxia elements."

This was actually something the production team asked him to say. Since Penguin wanted to create a unique girl group, it couldn’t be Korean-style, nor Japanese-style, but had to be Huaxia-style.

So what is a Huaxia-style girl group? And how do you highlight Huaxia characteristics?

The answer: Hanfu, cultural treasures passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years.

Only by creating a girl group distinct from other systems can the program claim real success.

After ten years of Korean and Japanese influences, the domestic entertainment scene had grown tired of them.

The same routines—deep squats, skimpy outfits, forced cuteness.

Even at its peak, the Korean-style "Crown Girl Group" wasn’t fundamentally different from others.

Lai Ruoxuan and her teammates took this appearance very seriously. It was precisely through their determination and refusal to miss any opportunity that they managed to keep their group alive despite facing dissolution three times.

The one who worked the hardest was Lai Ruoxuan. She was the only member who fulfilled the company’s monthly task of gaining followers on Station B, which is why she earned her position as team leader.

Now that they were on this stage, there was no reason not to give it everything they had.

The three of them performed their song and dance, and Lai Ruoxuan truly stood out.

She herself was like a graceful deer running freely under the blue sky and white clouds—a sweetness that felt refreshing and uplifting.

She exuded a rare, one-in-a-thousand traditional idol aura.

On top of that, her mature "big sister" vocal tone created an appealing contrast, giving her an unforgettable charm.

The other two teammates performed well too, but they were inevitably overshadowed by her brilliance.

Next up: Lin Jingru from CY Entertainment, Zhang Yuxin with her vibrant dance, and Qi Ziyue from Friendship Brothers.

Of the three, Lin Jingru’s dancing was decent—competent, but not remarkable.

Zhang Yuxin picked a good routine, but it was only "good."

This girl, however, was exceptionally striking—classic oval face, long legs, and a refined sense of elegance. Even among this group of dazzling trainees, she stood out.

Following them were Lv Xiaoxue from Peach Entertainment, independent trainee Luo Fengwu, and Zhang Zijing and Rui Rui from Duntou Entertainment.

Lv Xiaoxue also went for the sweet image, but her looks bore some resemblance to Jiang Mengqi’s.

The two shared many similarities, like their crescent-moon smiles.

While Jiang Meiqi came from an athletic background, Lv Xiaoxue had trained in acrobatics and even studied martial arts for a year.

However, Lv Xiaoxue’s singing and dancing skills were subpar. Jiang Meiqi, though not great at singing, was still decent in dancing.

Lv Xiaoxue had another fatal flaw: she couldn’t handle close-up, high-definition shots.

Under a close-up lens, her small eyes and low nasal bridge became much more apparent.

Then it was Luo Fengwu’s turn, who had been placed among the trainees by Yang Xiaoyue to gather intel.

Her singing and dancing skills were exceptional, outshining many others, but under Yang Xiaoyue’s instructions, she wasn’t assigned a prominent position.

Zhang Zijing and Rui Rui each performed solo. Rui Rui’s voice was bright, clear, and accurate—a decent showing. But when Zhang Zijing began, Rui Rui was completely outshined.

Zhang Zijing’s music had greater breadth. With ten years of professional training in traditional vocal techniques, her high notes stood out—not top-tier, but impressive for a professional singer.

Her demeanor was sophisticated, reminiscent of a refined young lady from an esteemed scholarly family during the Republican era. Her icy elegance conveyed a sense of untouchable distance.

Next was the group called the Three Suns, made up of three high school students who had recently skyrocketed to fame.

They came out with strong energy before their performance, but their unpolished appearance struck many of the girls as just making do with the basics.
