On the day of the public performance, Daiyu, like everyone else, got up early and tidied up with apprehensive anticipation — she didn't know how many people would come, and how many of them would be her fans.

The stage for the public performance was set up in a gymnasium not far away. After the girls had breakfast in the morning, the staff arranged for them to get to the venue in a short time.

The first thing they did when they arrived was to go to the dressing room and have a makeup artist do their makeup for them. Since they hadn't debuted yet, they didn't have their own makeup artist or dressing room, so many of them were in the same room. Even so, the girls were still very excited.

In the first two seasons, there were still some lesser-known debuts who participated in the competition to gain popularity, but things got a lot better later on. Daiyu and the others didn't have any debuts this time — after all, there was a contract dispute with their original management company.

Besides, it wasn't fair to put debuts and non-debuts on the same starting point.

When the girls were almost done tidying up, the audience entered, and Pan Yiming, who was acting as the host, slowly stepped onto the stage amidst the crowd's cheers.

Pan Yiming had changed his style this time and was humorous and witty. Fans who were familiar with him felt that Teacher Pan was a little indecent.

Sitting next to Daiyu, Xu Mengmeng and Xia Mai ridiculed Daiyu. Teacher Pan used to be so proper, so refined, and so unattainable. He was a two-time Best Actor and had always been known for keeping a low profile. Who would have thought that a girl group talent show would trigger his hidden attributes?

Daiyu was silent. After all, she hadn't chased after celebrities before and had rarely paid attention to entertainment matters.

The show started very quickly. The first to go on stage were the two groups that Chen Yijia had chosen. Their songs this time were "Passionate as Fire," and the two teams were dressed very — well, skimpy.

When the song and dance started, Daiyu didn't know if the audience was watching Daiyu seriously, but the girls backstage watching the big screen were indeed very serious. This was also the first time that Daiyu knew that such a hot performance could really burn people up.

Next, the groups went on stage one by one. Daiyu's group couldn't wait any longer, and the teammates who had been in high spirits at the beginning gradually relaxed. Daiyu frowned. This wouldn't do. If the soldiers had no morale, how could they win this battle?

She clapped her hands and encouraged everyone. "Everyone, cheer up. After all, it's our first performance, and it's the finale — isn't that a lot of confidence?"

Everyone thought, That was right!

This was the finale. This was an opportunity only available to those who were truly popular and capable. Seeing that the ninth group was already on stage, they could finally prepare!

It was too torturous to wait!

When they finally heard the name of their group's song, the two teams of twenty looked at each other and went up on stage from both sides.

As soon as Dai Yu stepped onto the stage, she heard a deafening roar.

"Lin Daiyu!

Lin Lin!

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin! "

…

There were about 500 people in the audience. Regardless of whether they were true fans or just blindly cheering, almost everyone was shouting Lin Daiyu's name. Daiyu's eyes were slightly hot. She tried hard to control herself. An indescribable feeling welled up in her chest. It was sour and swollen, as if it wanted to fill her heart. No, it was already filled. Her heart was completely filled.

So this is what it feels like to be an idol!

"Their" was a lyrical song, and the dance was also very gentle. The overall style was a bit retro. The performance was quiet, but after the performance, there was continuous applause and cheers.

Backstage, a member said half-jokingly, "I really envy Lin Daiyu, who has her own popularity."

Chen Yijia, who was sitting next to them, frowned. "She has to have Lin Daiyu's appearance and ability!"

Not every girl named Lin Daiyu was Lin Daiyu's real jade. Many people tried to draw a tiger but ended up looking like a dog.

So, there was no need to be envious. Even if you were called Lin Daiyu, your popularity would not change!

The girl who spoke was embarrassed and obediently shut her mouth. She thought that the relationship between those in the upper circle was not good!

There was no doubt that Lin Daiyu's team would win this time. Shen Zhixing felt that this year was unlucky for her. Her previous successful era had passed. Ever since she met Lin Daiyu — she was her nemesis!

She coldly snorted. Everyone was cheering around Daiyu, so they didn't pay attention to her actions. On the other hand, her own teammates had already lost, and their captain was still coldly snorting, so they were too embarrassed to speak loudly.

The first public performance ended successfully. The girls who returned to the dormitory were extremely tired. They all lay on the bed without caring about their image. Only Lin Daiyu was different from the others.

Although she was extremely tired, her figure was tall and straight, and her sitting posture was elegant. Even if she leaned slightly on the bed to rest, she still looked pitiful and lovely.

The others: "…"

They finally understood why there were so many beautiful people, but only one of them was the popular Lin Daiyu.

Not only was she beautiful, but her temperament was also outstanding. As the saying goes, good-looking skins are all the same, but interesting souls [cross out]. Her perfect temperament was one in a million.

It was hard to imagine that she was a little village girl from the countryside.

People who were prettier than them and had more temperament — the others silently sat up straight. Even if it was very uncomfortable, they still had to smile.

This was the basic quality of being an artist!

Even if they hadn't debuted yet.

After the public performance, the results were announced. One hundred people were eliminated this time, and the remaining 102 people advanced. Everyone sat in the large classroom, feeling extremely nervous.

They couldn't play with their phones, and no one had told them the results of the voting. Everyone was apprehensive and didn't know if they would advance.

But the voting during the public performance could actually reflect some things. Taking into account their usual performance, the most popular people had a rough idea of how they would fare.

But being popular was also worrying. It was just that they were worried about whether they were the most popular.

This time, Teacher Pan was very direct. After a few simple words, she directly announced the results.

Everyone's ranking was more or less different from what they had expected. Some people thought they were very good, but the audience's votes ended up at the bottom, which was a big blow to them.

Some people weren't very confident and thought they would be eliminated. In the end, they actually advanced. It was really hard to say what would happen in the competition.

After the number of eliminated contestants was announced, those who were close hugged each other and cried. Some encouraged and comforted them. Sitting next to Daiyu were Zhang Jin and Xu Mengmeng, who were from the same company. All three of them had advanced.

Next up was the announcement of the contestants who had advanced to the next round. The 102nd contestant just happened to be Xia Mai Mai, who was in the same group as Daiyu. After the announcement, Xia Mai Mai cried tears of joy. The girls in her group all hugged Daiyu and thanked her profusely.

Daiyu comforted her. "You advanced based on your own strength. Don't worry too much about other things."

Xia Mai nodded repeatedly, but in her heart, she thought that if Lin Daiyu hadn't won by a landslide, the others in her group might not have won. If they didn't win, of course there wouldn't be any additional votes. Without the additional votes, she could only be eliminated.

After all, she had more than 4,000 votes more than the 103rd place. Without the additional votes, she actually lost.

This also strengthened Xia Mai's idea of riding on Daiyu's coattails. After all, Lin Daiyu had her own popularity. She was beautiful, capable, and kind. It was not a loss to ride on her coattails.

What's more, her nurturing skills were already very impressive!

Daiyu didn't know that some people had secretly decided to follow her footsteps. She was also very nervous now. The 60th place was already announced. Zhang Jin and Xu Mengmeng were sitting on Daiyu's left and right. Both of them were obviously very nervous, holding her hand tightly. It hurt!

But knowing that they were nervous, she couldn't say anything. She could only wait for the announcement of their rankings. It didn't matter whether they were high or not. Anyway, they had advanced.

Maybe the heavens heard Daiyu's sister's prayer. Xu Mengmeng was ranked 58, and she was ranked 34.

After the two of them went on stage, Daiyu heaved a sigh of relief.

The fifth place was announced. The fifth place was Nan Feng Qing. Then, four people appeared on the screen. They were Lin Daiyu, Shen Zhixing, Chen Yijia, and Jiang Bing. The teacher announced that these were the top four. The champion would be chosen from these four.

After that, the teacher actually asked everyone who they hoped would be the champion.

Everyone ignored the person who dared to sow discord between everyone and ridiculed him.

"Anyway, no matter who gets the champion, it won't be us. What's there to hope for!"

"That's right. Anyway, it will be one of the four!"

"Teacher, you're so bad!"

"I didn't expect you to be this kind of movie king!"

…

Facing everyone's ridicule, Pan Yiming smiled. His voice carried obvious regret. "Kids these days are not cute at all ~"

"Teachers these days are not like teachers at all!" The girls retorted, not to be outdone.

Although they would offend people by saying it, they had a candidate in their hearts.

"Congratulations to Jiang Bing for getting the fourth place!"

Amidst the cheers, Jiang Bing went up the stage and thanked the fans. The third place was Shen Zhixing. Obviously, she was unwilling to lose to Lin Daiyu again.

Although the results had not been announced, Shen Zhixing had a very strong feeling that the champion would definitely be Lin Daiyu!

Reality proved that although Shen Zhixing's judgment of himself was wrong, his premonition of Daiyu was very accurate.

Lin Daiyu got the first place with 50 million votes more than the second place Chen Yijia.

When she gave her speech, Daiyu did not cry. She looked at the camera and said seriously, "I will continue to work hard. I will not disappoint the people who like me."

After the program was broadcast, many netizens said that this was too touching. It was obviously a very simple sentence. A few contestants had said the same thing on stage, but no one was like Lin Daiyu. It was like a promise, more like an oath.

Everyone supported her on the bullet screen.

"You are the best Sister Lin in the world!"

"Even if you are not serious and don't work hard, I will love you forever with such a beautiful face!"

"Such a beautiful person is still so hardworking. I was shot by Cupid!"
