Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Qiao Nan is Just Going Through the Motions on Stage

Qiao Nan lifted her eyes to meet a pair of somewhat innocent round ones, sparkling with the clear gleam of autumn waters inside.

This girl was the sister of Movie Queen Nie Qing, and was acknowledged by all the trainees as a strong contender.

From the past two days, it was clear that Nie Anfong did indeed possess strength and also had significant influence.

Qiao Nan just so happened to be assigned to the same team as her.

"What’s up?" Qiao Nan raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms.

"I hope there won’t be any mistakes during our first stage performance later, after all, this is a team affair."

"You don’t say?" Qiao Nan sneered, her voice tinged with sarcasm, "We’re all trainees here, you think you can preach to me?"

"I didn’t mean..." During the past two days of training, Qiao Nan had always remained aloof from the team, being nonconformist, which gave her teammates quite a headache.

Nie Anfong just hoped she wouldn’t drag the team down.

"Anfong." Another teammate, Yan Xue, came to pull her, glancing at Qiao Nan with cold irony, "Don’t bother talking, no matter how much you say she won’t listen, really don’t know if it’s good or bad to be on the same team as her."

Qiao Nan stood up straight from her seat, "I’ll tell you, here there are only enemies, no friends. Those who are nice to you now, could turn against you the next second. Out of a hundred people, only seven are chosen, don’t think that there can be true friends here, right?"

The latter half of her speech was directed at Nie Anfong, and it also drove a wedge between her and Yan Xue.

Yan Xue: "You..."

A crowd of trainees gathered around to watch the quarrel, feeling a bit sorry for Nie Anfong, hoping they wouldn’t be grouped with Qiao Nan in the next performance.

"The show is about to start, trainees, please take the stage," a crew member, holding a script, walked in.

The trainees took their seats, and several judges including Qiao Xi came out from backstage and sat down in their positions.

This time, the trainees were still sitting on the seat numbers they chose during the last self-assessment, but as rankings change in this issue, so will the people on these seats, and at the moment, Qiao Nan was still sitting in the number one seat.

Sitting high makes one see far.

With a few minutes left before the show, Qiao Nan’s gaze locked onto the figure of Qiao Xi, her lips curled slightly, and she couldn’t help but sneer internally.

Qiao Xi thought a few words would drive her out of this show, that was simply wishful thinking!

The more Qiao Xi didn’t want her to cling, the more she wanted to debut by stepping on Qiao Xi’s head!

Sometimes a person’s senses are very strong, for instance, Qiao Xi felt someone staring at her, her eyelids coated with a light shimmering eyeshadow lifted slightly, turning her gaze towards Qiao Nan perched on high.

Seeing Qiao Nan’s provocative look, Qiao Xi’s cold red lips curved.

Qiao Nan was taken aback for a moment, her smile then grew wider, laugh all you want, we’ll see how long you can keep laughing!

After the host warmed up the audience, the "head-to-head" competition between teams officially began.

Qiao Nan’s team was up relatively early.

And the team they were competing against was a singing and dancing idol who also came out of a talent show two years ago, quite capable.

Nie Anfong and Yan Xue were actually no weaker than their opponents, but their entire team was dragged down by Qiao Nan.

While her teammates were singing and dancing their hearts out, Qiao Nan’s stiff movements were like floundering in water.

For someone who hadn’t learned singing and dancing, it was impossible to grow leaps and bounds in just two short days.

The judges could see just how capable she was with one glance.

During the judges’ comments, they first praised Nie Anfong, then called Qiao Nan’s name.

"Teacher Liu."

Qiao Nan spoke, slightly out of breath, it was somewhat tiring to flounder on stage.

Liu Qing was a judge from GK.

Looking at Qiao Nan’s information, Liu Qing then looked up, "Qiao Nan, how do you feel about your performance on stage this time?"

Qiao Nan’s lips tilted up to their highest point, "Maybe the judges think my performance wasn’t very good this time, but during the past two days of training, I’ve been practicing hard, um... I even sneak in extra practice at night."

A few teammates wore complex expressions: "..."

Qiao Nan was clearly leaving the practice room with them, sometimes not even to be found, where did she get the face to say these things?

Liu Qing smiled, "You can answer my question first."

"I think there’s still room for improvement."

Qiao Nan’s head was slightly lowered, still not directly answering the question.

Producer Qiu could secure her debut, so she couldn’t possibly belittle herself on the show.

Liu Qing chuckled awkwardly, "Qiao Nan, I remember you saying in the last episode that you have the strength to sit in the number one seat, but this time your performance didn’t give me that impression."

"My sister told me to have confidence," Qiao Nan said, looking at Qiao Xi, "and even if my current ability isn’t up to the number one seat, I believe that one day, that seat will be mine."

Liu Qing: "..."

Your sister probably didn’t tell you not to be arrogant, did she?

"Heh..."

A laugh came through the microphone, Qiao Xi spoke with an icy voice, "Qiao Nan, when did I ever say these things to you? Confidence comes from capability, and you clearly lack it right now."

Qiao Nan openly retorted on the show, "Then was my sister very capable when she first entered the industry? Everyone grows."

A collective gasp rose from the trainee seats.

This Qiao Nan really did dare to say anything.

Wasn’t she selling the persona of Goddess of Divine Beauty’s sister? Now she’s openly confronting her real sister—was this for real?

Had she gone mad?

Qiao Xi only asked, "Then if you don’t have the capability, can you fight your way out of a hundred people and debut successfully?"

Nie Anfong: "We cannot."

Qiao Xi chuckled lightly, "Actually, I think the judges could be more blunt. Qiao Nan was just loafing on stage. As a special guest, I’m here to let the students understand their own abilities so they can seek ways to improve, not to be blindly arrogant. Teacher Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Qing: "..."

Right, right, you’re the boss, whatever you say goes.

"Now, please, judges, assign the trainees to their classes," the host said at the right time.

The classes were divided into A, B, C, and D.

Unsurprisingly, Qiao Nan was assigned to the last class, D, Nie Anfong successfully made it into A class, and Yan Xue into B class.

The other two also were categorized into B class.

This period hadn’t yet begun eliminating members, but by the next episode, it would be cut from 100 to 60, directly halving the number of contestants.

After the first public performance, the abilities of the trainees were on display.

After this episode, an online voting channel would be opened, allowing netizens to pick their favorite contestants.

By the next round of eliminations, both the judges’ votes and the audience’s votes would decide who stays and who goes.

By nearly four o’clock in the afternoon, the recording of the program was finally completed.

Sitting for hours had left everyone with sore backs and aching waists.

Shen Dang sent a message to Qiao Xi on time, telling her he was waiting for her outside.

Qiao Xi didn’t expect that he’d still be there after so long.

Qiao Xi hurried to find Shen Dang after using the bathroom.

On the way, Wang Li called her.

Qiao Xi picked up, and Wang Li’s voice came through, "Xixi, I have something to talk to you about, come to the company."
