Chapter 50 -50 This Doesn’t Quite Seem Like Lu’s Style
The performances of all eight groups had ended, and the rankings of the judges’ scores were out.
First place went to Lu Xun’s group, second to Luo Ning’s group, third to Ji Xinghang’s group, fourth to Bo Xiangxiang’s group, fifth to Tong Jia’s group, sixth to Chai Jing’s group, seventh to Wei Yao’s group, and eighth to Su Qinglan’s group.
Next up was the announcement of the results from the live voting, and the program had even invited the staff of a notary office to ensure the fairness and accuracy of all data.
There were two rankings in the live voting: one for the groups and another for individual popularity.

The top three group rankings remained the same; Bo Xiangxiang’s group dropped to sixth, moving Tong Jia and Chai Jing’s groups up one place each.
Bo Xiangxiang’s face, upon seeing the fluctuating numbers on the big screen, stiffened into a smile once more.
She believed she had performed very well; why then was her ranking in the live vote so low?
Were she not on stage, she would have asked the production team if there was a mistake with the data.
Next was the individual popularity rankings, where everyone in Luo Ning’s group saw significant increases.
Originally ranked last at 36th, Lu Ran moved up to 29th; Luo Zeyu climbed from 33rd to 23rd; Feng Yifan from 29th to 21st; Ye Zixiao from 19th to 10th; and Shan Zhen soared directly from 22nd to 8th.
All five had also scored well in their personal evaluations from the judges, thus they all advanced.
The students in both Lu Xun’s and Ji Xinghang’s groups advanced as well.
Two members who made mistakes in Su Qinglan’s group were eliminated, while Chai Jing and Wei Yao’s groups each had two eliminations, and Tong Jia’s and Bo Xiangxiang’s groups each eliminated one member.
Apart from Bo Xiangxiang, everyone else could accept the results.
Bo Xiangxiang felt she had performed very well, at least not worse than Luo Ning; so why was Luo Ning ranked higher than her?
What frustrated her most was her inability to understand why. There was always a feeling that the result shouldn’t be like this; the focus should have been on eliminating Luo Ning’s group instead, whose entire team advanced.
Why did it turn out this way? She felt indignant and aggrieved.
The individual from Bo Xiangxiang’s group who was eliminated was also reluctant to accept this outcome, especially since his previous ranking had been in the twenties and he had never anticipated being eliminated.
Unable to restrain himself, he asked the judges, “Judge, Teacher Bo Xiangxiang sang and danced well, but our overall score isn’t very high. May I ask why?”
One of the more straightforward and blunt female mentors replied, “It’s precisely because your Teacher Bo Xiangxiang sang and danced well that it made the rest of you look worse.”
“Your group’s overall score isn’t very high because you don’t distinguish between primary and secondary roles. The guest mentor overshadows everyone, and the rest of you are just the greenery accentuating her performance, which doesn’t stand out much to us.”
“Especially you, initially Teacher Bo Xiangxiang opened with a high note, and you failed to follow, making the opening a failure.”
Feeling the need to vent, she added, “The score you have now is only because the other two judges particularly liked the dance performed by Teacher Bo Xiangxiang; otherwise, your group would definitely be at the bottom.”
“Do you have any other questions?” she asked.
The questioning student’s complexion changed: “…” This judge was indeed too blunt.
Though it hadn’t struck him before, hearing the judge’s criticism made him realize that the guest mentor, Bo Xiangxiang, had indeed been too dominant.
Initially, they genuinely liked this gentle mentor who gave off an inexplicable sense of closeness.
But now that he was being eliminated, he naturally didn’t feel as comfortable.
It was Bo Xiangxiang herself who had suggested starting with the high note, setting it too high, which led to his failure to keep up. He felt that if Bo Xiangxiang had not dominated the spotlight, he might not have been eliminated.
With a heavy heart, he walked off the stage.
Luo Ning then saw a hint of resentment in his eyes; the luck that Bo Xiangxiang had gained from Liu Shao had diminished slightly.
This eliminated individual had been one of Bo Xiangxiang’s admirers in a past life. Last time, he was also in Bo Xiangxiang’s group. Thus, through the main character’s luck, he advanced to debut and even gained some fame.
However, due to his looks and background which didn’t meet the requirements for being included in her closer circle, he remained just a subservient supporter, but he hadn’t hesitated to bite others and provide help for Bo Xiangxiang.
Now, his early elimination and harbored resentment against Bo Xiangxiang became interesting.
Bo Xiangxiang wore an expression of grievance; despite her good performance, this judge seemed intent on pointing out faults. This woman must be deranged. Bo Xiangxiang was very dissatisfied with the results of this performance.
After the performance ended, the thirty-two students who had stayed were all very happy.
Shan Zhen and several others surrounded Luo Ning backstage, “Teacher Luo, will we still be in the same group next session?”
They had really come to like Luo Ning more and more, so they hoped to remain in the same group.
Luo Ning shrugged and said, “I really don’t know, the production team hasn’t revealed that.”
“If we can still be in the same group, can we continue to follow Teacher Luo?” Lu Ran’s eyes were filled with anxiety and anticipation.
Since joining Luo Ning’s group, he’d received equal care, and she had provided him with numerous suggestions and help.
He felt that the main reason he had been kept on was because of Luo Ning.
Luo Ning had a good impression of them, “No problem.”
“Yay!” The five cheered, “Then it’s settled.”
Feng Yifan smiled gently, saying, “Teacher Luo, you’ve worked hard accompanying us during the rehearsals and performance these past few days; go back and rest well.”
Luo Ning nodded, “Alright, you guys rest up too, see you in the next live broadcast.”
“See you next session!” They no longer disturbed Luo Ning while she was removing her makeup.
In a bar in the same city, Liu Shaoxian’s face turned grim after watching the live broadcast.
Seeing Bo Xiangxiang’s full eyes of grievance, his heart ached.
His darling little baby had performed so well, were the other three judges blind?
Especially the last female judge who dared to insinuate against Xiangxiang, he must teach her a lesson.
And that Luo Ning, stepping over Xiangxiang again, was intolerable.
He took out his phone and made a call, “Action tonight.”
If it weren’t for tonight’s events, he would be loath to deal with a woman in this way, but since Luo Ning had made Xiangxiang upset again, he couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.
He would not allow Luo Ning to have another opportunity to overshadow Bo Xiangxiang.
Backstage, after Luo Ning had finished removing her makeup, she stepped out of her makeup room and happened to meet Lu Xun coming out from the opposite side.
“Mr. Lu, hello!” she greeted with a smile.
Lu Xun lifted the corners of his lips and approached her, “Are you leaving too?”
Luo Ning nodded, “Yeah, and you?”
“I’m heading to the parking lot too, let’s go together,” Lu Xun said.
The two chatted like old friends as they walked.
In the elevator, Lu Xun moved closer to Luo Ning and whispered near her ear, “Be careful of Liu Shaoxian from the Liu Family.”
The Liu Family had transitioned from a shady background, and from old to young, their methods were rather ruthless.
Liu Shaoxian hadn’t removed his name from trending searches and blocked Old Zhou’s account, and with Bo Xiangxiang whispering in his ear, it was very likely he would target Luo Ning.
Fu Ci hadn’t told Lu Xun about Liu Shaoxian approaching him to blacklist Luo Ning, otherwise, Lu Xun wouldn’t have just given a warning.
“Thank you, Mr. Lu, I’ll be careful.”
Luo Ning was somewhat surprised, not at Liu Shaoxian targeting her, but that Lu Xun would actually warn her.
Had he been secretly following these matters? That didn’t quite seem like Lu’s style.
Upon reaching the underground parking lot, the elevator doors opened to reveal both Lu Xun’s and Luo Ning’s nanny vans, with another parked behind.
Ji Xinghang got down from the vehicle and walked straight up to Luo Ning, saying, “I need to talk to you.”
