n“It looks alright.” Shi Xi took a bite of the cake and commented, “The design of this brand has always been quite ordinary. CL and GU brand are better looking.”

n

nHan Chuan said, “KL is a quasi-first-tier brand. The gown they are lending to us this time is the new autumn style that will be released soon. It will be sold for 3,000,000 yuan. At the same time, they will also lend us a matching diamond necklace that is worth 1,000,000 yuan.”

n

nShi Xi nodded and said, “Let’s do this then.”

n

nIf someone took the initiative to approach her for a collaboration, Shi Xi naturally wouldn’t refuse.

n

nHan Chuan nodded and contacted the other party to quickly finalize the collaboration.

n

nKL’s gown was lent to Shi Xi.

n

nWhen Shi Xi attended the gala, she would take photos and post photos. It was equivalent to giving KL publicity for free.

n

nA win-win collaboration.

n

nThis was also the usual practice in the entertainment industry.

n

nAfter breakfast, Shi Xi continued her recording of Star Idol.

n

nAs a popularity coach, she didn’t have to accompany the trainees every day, but she still had to go to work when needed.

n

nAnd today was the first ranking for Star Idol.

n

nShi Xi arrived at the program team and handed the gifts she had prepared to Pei Jie. She asked him to distribute them to the trainees who had celebrated her birthday last time. “I picked them all. You can choose what you like. Don’t snatch them!”

n

nPei Jie looked at the big bag of things and was silent for a moment before saying, “Thank you, mentor. You’ve used a lot of money.”

n

n“Then, work hard to advance!” Shi Xi’s eyes curved. “I’m going to go put on my makeup first. Bye bye!”

n

nAfter Shi Xi left, Li Jinfan happened to walk over. He only saw Shi Xi’s back and asked, “Sister Xi just arrived?”

n

n“Yes. This is a return gift for us.” Pei Jie picked up the gift bag and said, “You pick one first.”

n

nLi Jinfan took the gift bag and picked one out, handing it to Pei Jie.

n

nPei Jie: “?”

n

nLi Jinfan: “This is for you. The rest is mine.”

n

nPei Jie, who was as calm as he was, could not help but retort, “Are you shameless?”

n

nLi Jinfan said righteously, “Of course I’m shameless. If I didn’t organize everyone to celebrate sister Xi’s birthday, would Sister Xi send us a return gift?”

n

nPei Jie: “??!”

n

nLi Jinfan took a step back. “Why don’t I give you two?”

n

nPei Jie snatched the gift bag from his hands. “One each. Don’t even think about taking more!”

n

nLi Jinfan sighed.

n

nIt should have been his alone!

n

nHow infuriating!

n

nPei Jie gave the gifts to the two Original Teams. The trainees were all a little surprised.

n

nThey had never expected that Shi Xi would actually send them gifts in return.

n

nEvery gift had a box. They were like blind boxes.

n

nLi Jinfan opened his own box. Inside was a skull with a ring on its head. The design was very impressive, and it looked very cool and domineering.

n

nOh, it was Sister Xi’s ring.

n

nLi Jinfan was very satisfied.

n

nHowever, when he saw that the other trainees had also received the rings, the satisfaction in his heart lessened a lot.

n

nIt turned out that she had bought so many different types of accessories.

n

nThe trainees from the other groups said in jealousy, “If I had known earlier, I would have gone to celebrate Teacher Shi Xi’s birthday too!”

n

n“Teacher Shi Xi is really good to her team members. Back then, when she was training, she would often treat them to milk tea and fried chicken.”

n

n“The other teachers are also very good! Don’t be envious, it’s time to gather!”

n

nAfter the trainees were done being envious, they could only gather their emotions and record the ranking.

n

nWhen they arrived at the recording point, everyone sat below the stage.

n

nThe original 109 crystal chairs on the stage had been reduced to 54.

n

nThis meant that more than half of the people would be eliminated.

n

nThe lights flickered, and everyone became nervous, afraid that they wouldn’t be able to advance.

n
