Chapter 110

This female trainee survival show launched by Random Entertainment comes right after Timetrain, benefiting from its momentum and attracting a lot of attention from Timetrain fans.

Among the trainees, Pei Zhiping has received the most attention and expectations, with the company placing their biggest bet on her.

The higher the expectations, the heavier the burden.

On Pei Zhiping's birthday, which coincided with their preliminary check, she was overwhelmed with nervousness. Her stomach was churning, and she had been experiencing physical discomfort since the day before.

Even though the preliminary check was yesterday, her symptoms of discomfort hadn't subsided at all.

"...I'm back, let's continue," Pei Zhiping said as she entered the practice room, tossing her bag in the corner. She stretched her wrists and ankles before walking to the center of the room.

Han Lemi, sitting on the floor, turned to look at her with concern. "Why don't you rest a bit? You haven't eaten anything today, right?"

"Be careful of low blood sugar," Yu Dan said before lying down on the floor, looking exhausted.

Just as she closed her eyes, Yu Dan suddenly sat up. "No, I can't close my eyes! As soon as I do, I think of those awful rules!" She started chanting, "3.1415926, 3.1415926..."

Han Lemi glanced at Yu Dan, who was reciting the first few digits of pi in a loop, then at Pei Zhiping, the overachiever practicing in front of the mirror. She got up and crawled over to Si Yanyu. "Thank goodness there's at least one normal person in our group..." But as soon as she got there, she saw what Si Yanyu was doing: playing Happy Chef. Han Lemi was shocked. "How can you play that at a time like this?"

"There's nothing else to do."

"Aren't you anxious?"

"What's there to be anxious about?"

"..."

Well, looks like she's the only normal one in the group.

The selection rules for their show were completely different from the boys' side, and even unprecedented in the entire talent show industry. The original groups were assigned by the company from the start: their group consisted of these four people. After the first public performance, the groups would be disbanded and reorganized, and this process would repeat after each round, with the top seven ranked contestants choosing their team members as needed.

With this constant disbanding and reorganizing, one can imagine how toxic the solo fans would become. When they first heard the rules, they thought there would be a final selection like on the boys' side, but the number of debut positions was left undetermined.

This meant that the audience not only had to vote for their favorite trainees but also for the number of debut positions they wanted.

In other words, the final debut group could have four members, or seven, or even nine.

When the first episode aired, this rule was heavily criticized by the audience. The four of them also silently cursed in their hearts when they heard it: what kind of ridiculous rule was this?

But no matter how bad it was, they had to follow it.

Han Lemi sat on the floor, looking around at the other three, and finally decided to join Pei Zhiping. Rather than being a weirdo, she might as well be an overachiever: at least improving her skills could earn her some points from the producers.

"Zhipi, let's practice together, starting from the chorus..." She pushed herself up from the floor and dragged her tired body over.

"The Whales, the Dolphins, and their NPCs"

"Jiang Liuxing: Where are you guys? There are so many people in line now, hurry up!"

"Liu Yue: Parking, parking, we'll be there soon!"

"Zhou Keke: I'm already in the queue, where are you?"

Seeing this message, Jiang Liuxing looked back while holding her phone, then sent a voice message to the group, "I'm in the shaded area up front."

"Zhou Keke: OK."

Zhou Keke put away her phone and walked towards Jiang Liuxing's direction.

The staff members were now wearing bright yellow vests and holding megaphones, busy maintaining order. Zhou Keke pushed through the crowd and finally squeezed next to Jiang Liuxing, who immediately grabbed her hand. "Quick, quick, get ready to line up and enter. Liu Yue told us to go in first!"

Since becoming close friends, the three of them often attended idol events together, mostly Timetrain activities, but occasionally they would support other Random Entertainment events as well.

Like coming to see the female trainees' performance, for instance.

While queuing, Zhou Keke scanned the surroundings and couldn't help but whisper to Jiang Liuxing, "...I see a lot of familiar faces."

"Yeah, they're just like us," Jiang Liuxing had noticed too. There were indeed many Timetrain fans at the venue, though it could also be because Timetrain had such a large fanbase and they loved joining in on the excitement.

When it came to snagging performance tickets on the Galexy World App, no one was more skilled than Timetrain fans. The female trainee show had just started and didn't have many die-hard fans yet, so the tickets ended up in their hands.

Since they bought them, they might as well come and watch.

They had been to this Beijing venue many times, but this time it felt a bit different.

The previously dull venue seemed to have been renovated. The most noticeable change was the chairs: the old plastic ones that hurt to sit on had been replaced. Now each chair had a foam cushion, and the color had changed from red to black. The chairs in the stands had higher backrests, while those in the inner area were even more luxurious, fully upholstered.

As Jiang Liuxing and Zhou Keke entered the inner area and gently poked the chairs with their bottoms, they exclaimed in unison as they sat down, "Wow—"

Others around them had the same reaction, with some even taking out their phones to take pictures, wanting to share their amazement online.

It wasn't that the chairs were incredibly comfortable, but the fact that they could sit on upholstered chairs for just 580 yuan was beyond their wildest dreams for a concert experience.

The allure of the upholstery completely overshadowed its drawbacks: the slightly small seats and narrow aisles were no longer an issue.

After sitting down, Jiang Liuxing and Zhou Keke once again marveled at Random Entertainment's upgrades.

Timetrain had a period without live streaming recently, and it seemed that during that time, Random Entertainment had upgraded and maintained various venues, even improving the seat selection feature on their app.

Previously, while they ensured there were no scalpers, it caused inconvenience for those who wanted to attend together. Before, if people wanted to sit together, they had to contact each other privately or pray to various gods, because the built-in group seating function in Galexy World was very limited: it required binding before selecting seats, meaning you had to grab multiple tickets at once, which had a very low success rate.

After the upgrade, the group seating function was changed to allow binding after getting tickets. They removed the seat selection option and only allowed choosing ticket prices. If everyone in a group managed to get tickets, they could bind as friends within 15 minutes, resulting in connected seats.

As Jiang Liuxing and Zhou Keke waited for Liu Yue, they overheard a girl behind them constantly exclaiming to her friend about the venue's environment.

"Wow— You guys have been secretly enjoying such luxury?"

"...These chairs make me feel so cheap for sitting on plastic benches last week."

"Do you know how much those plastic benches with backrests cost last week? Originally 1,800 yuan, I bought them from scalpers at triple the price."

There were quite a few people with similar reactions, many of whom had come with friends who were Timetrain fans. Because they weren't interested in boy groups before, they hadn't paid much attention to Random Entertainment. If it weren't for the upcoming girl group debut, they probably still wouldn't care.

Because they hadn't been paying attention, they didn't know the details and only knew that Random Entertainment had a reputation for being the king of merchandise and low prices. But now it was different—

"This is great, I'm going to enjoy the good life from now on!" The girl behind them wiggled her fingers excitedly.

Meanwhile, backstage was far busier than the preparation for the previous two shows. Girls' makeup and styling were more complicated, especially with so many of them.

Since Jiang Juyou wasn't responsible for the operations, she didn't arrive that early, but rather reached the backstage around the same time as the fans were entering. Her makeup and styling had just been done in the makeup room upstairs at the company. Upon arrival, she first greeted Yang Siyu and the others.

"It's so lively. I haven't seen such a bustling backstage in a long time," Jiang Juyou said as she sat down. Yang Siyu then asked someone to bring some drinks.

Jiang Juyou pointed towards the direction of the door, "I just passed by a waiting room and heard someone speaking Korean inside. Your team really went all out, even inviting Korean makeup artists."

"Are you worried about the money?" Yang Siyu playfully slapped her.

"As long as you earn it back for me," Jiang Juyou laughed, blocking the slap.

Aliali: 67358287d72ede934945062fJiang Juyou and her team had also invited a Korean makeup team for their final performance, but only for that occasion.

After sitting down, she picked up an iPad to review the groupings and performance lineup, while staff members were explaining to them where they would enter the stage and where they would sit.

At that moment, there were five people in the break room, who were also the five original members when the company was founded: Jiang Juyou, Yang Siyu, Li Yao, Zhao Xu, and Liu Jiajia.

The group chatted for a while, and when it was almost time, a staff member came to call them, "Teachers, you can prepare to go on stage now!"

The host for this show had changed to Chen Xi, who hadn't been in the public eye for a long time. She had lost a lot of weight, transforming into the industry's preferred slender beauty.

Chen Xi's appearance added to the audience's anticipation for the show. Her status was much higher than Jiang Tang's, and she had quite a few fans of her own, demonstrating Random Entertainment's emphasis on this project.

As the five judges for this performance were being introduced on stage, Jiang Juyou and the other four quietly walked to their judges' seats. Only after all introductions were finished did the camera pan over to them.

Jiang Juyou's shoulder-length short hair added a touch of liveliness to her appearance. The colder her expression, the more sacred she seemed. She tucked one side of her hair behind her ear, revealing her profile as she looked to the side.

"Wow!" exclamations gradually rose from the audience.

Every time people saw Jiang Juyou, they couldn't help but marvel at how she seemed to have become even more beautiful.
