Chapter 271: Shocked Everyone! (15)

They had let Gu Qingchen advance with unreliable reasons to the official competition.

The official competition was made up of 100 people, and there would be rounds after rounds of selection. Each round of selection had a different rule.

When Gu Qingchen found out there were rules in this talent show, she was finally relieved.

If she was like those unreliable and capricious people from before, she was worried that she would be able to make it to the end.

She was not interested in the 100,000 yuan, nor was she interested in becoming a celebrity.

Gu Qingchen was even less to meet An Lan and Murong Yuanhao. The reason was simple. She had already seen them and did not feel they were any different from ordinary people.

If those who had failed to get selected knew what Gu Qingchen was thinking, they would probably want to give her a good beating.

A mere bystander made it into the official competition. It made those who were serious about the competition feel unfair.

“Students, on behalf of Universal Media, I would like to congratulate all of you. After going through the strict preliminary selection, you have entered the second selection stage. You are all elites. You should applaud yourselves!”

A senior manager of Universal Media gathered all the students who had passed the preliminary selection and made some arrangements.

After the senior manager finished speaking, all the selected students began to applaud and celebrate.

The selected students were not only the students from Hongfeng School but there were also students from all over the country.

Not many students from Hongfeng were selected. The organizer, Universal Media, promised to give these spots to Hongdeng’s students.

Gu Qingchen took a look. Shi Wei and An Ge were also selected. It seemed that they had come prepared this time. They all wanted to take this opportunity to enter Universal Media.

The two of them were in a similar situation. Shi Wei’s father had fallen, and the Jiang family she relied on was also in a slump. She could only rely on herself.

On the other hand, An Ge had always fed on women, wanting to achieve success through women.

And Universal Studio was an opportunity for him. If he could seize this opportunity, he could enter the show biz.

An Ge had always been confident. He believed that with his looks and conduct in the world, he would be able to make a name for himself.

What surprised An Ge was that he met Gu Qingchen here.

Perhaps because of his guilty conscience, An Ge did not want to see Gu Qingchen.

“Okay. Let’s talk about the upcoming schedule. You will be divided into four groups. Each group will have 25 people, and a professional mentor will lead the team. The mentors will choose the exam questions. So, you will be eliminated from the group if you do not perform well. Finally, each group will have five spots left, a total of 20 people, and they will become the trainees of our Universal Media!”

Initially, many people did not know what they would face next. Now that they had said it, everyone understood.

In other words, they had to stand out from the group of twenty-five people and become one of the five finalists.

In that case, the pressure of the competition was not too great. The students only needed to beat the others in the same group.

As for grouping, there were even more explanations.

If most students in the same group were weaker, one would have a better chance to advance.

But if the other students in the group were strong, they would have to try harder.

Thus, for a time, the students of the other schools all ostracized the students of Hongfeng.

After all, the students of Hongfeng were too powerful. They were all professionals, and they were all amateurs.

“Okay, I will announce the grouping. The first group, those who hear the names, stand to my left.” The senior management started to read the names.

Everyone was nervous. When Gu Qingchen and Yan Xiaoju were assigned to the same group, Yan Xiaoju was immediately excited. This way, Gu Qingchen could accompany her.

Gu Qingchen did not mind. After all, she did not intend to advance.

After the manager called out Gu Qingchen and Yan Xiaoju’s names, he continued to call out Shi Wei and An Ge’s names.

This time, Yan Xiaoju could not smile anymore. Seeing that Shi Wei and An Ge had also walked over, Yan Xiaoju rolled her eyes.

An Ge was a little embarrassed, while Shi Wei changed her personality. She was cold as if she did not see Yan Xiaoju rolling her eyes at them.

Or rather, Shi Wei had learned to be smart. She knew that she had been too arrogant before and knew that she had to restrain herself.

It was unknown whether Shi Wei’s change was good or bad.

There was another familiar face who was also assigned to this group. It was Xu Tianyi.

Gu Qingchen realized that the grouping was very fair. Most of the Hongfeng students were assigned to a group. It was a little fairer for the other students.

The Hongfeng students did not say anything because they always thought they were outstanding. Even if they had the strongest opponent by their side, they would still go all out.

“Little sprout, we’re so fated. Tell me, who do you think our mentor will be?” Xu Tianyi asked excitedly after seeing Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen shrugged, “I’m not sure.”

“I hope our mentor will be An Lan. Ah, I’m so excited just thinking about it. I can finally meet An Lan in person!” Xu Tianyi had the potential to be a hardcore fan!

Yan Xiaoju looked at Xu Tianyi speechlessly, indicating that she did not want to say that she knew Xu Tianyi.

“Alright! All the groups have been divided. From tomorrow onwards, there will be a mentor to assess you. Your mentor will tell you the assessment items on the same day. We will announce the mentors for every group tomorrow.”

Universal Media was quite mysterious. Gu Qingchen was not interested in knowing who the mentor was. After she returned home at night, she still had to meet with Little Bean and Xiang Yang.

They found out that people were interrupting their land purchasing. Gu Qingchen did not expect that those people were actually from the Luo family!

Hehe, enemies always ended up on the same path. She and the Luo family were fated to meet.

Gu Qingchen only asked the two of them to pay attention to what the Luo family wanted to do and their real purpose.

The Luo family definitely did not come for her because she had never shown her face in Yuanxi. Even if the Luo family knew that someone was buying the land there, they would not be able to find out who was buying it.

Therefore, it should not be for revenge, but another purpose.

When Gu Qingchen went home at night, Gu Qingchen asked about the background of the Luo family. Rong Yu told her a lot.

“Luo Qiaolian was born in an aristocratic family of cadres. Almost everyone in her family is involved in politics. Of course, there are also a few who are involved in the business. But they were not as powerful and resourceful.”

To put it bluntly, the Luo family was not considered a powerful family. It was only because Luo Qiaolian had managed to get into the Rong family’s good books that the Luo family gained some reputation in the outside world after so many years.
