CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 310 - 303: The Senior Arrives

After this segment of the recording ended, everyone returned to the dormitory.

Those who had chosen the same song began discussing what to do this time.

Yuwei noticed that the atmosphere this time was much better than the previous two rounds.

During the first public performance, there were too many people, and opinions were all over the place. For the second performance, when everyone realized the show had become a hit, they had too many ideas. This time, though, everyone seemed more focused on putting together a good stage performance.

In reality, by this stage, the contestants left were basically the best in the industry.

At the very least, they had a good sense of the big picture. Plus, with fewer contestants, they naturally got more segments to themselves, making it unnecessary to fight over anything.

The most important thing this time was to do their best and show their best selves.

The production team even designed custom dresses for them.

Their original costumes were simple pink Japanese-style school uniforms.

Now, they had switched to brown and gray tops paired with dark plaid pleated skirts.

These were for their group performance of a chorus song.

The teacher for this song was Tian Jiaxuan.

She was all about encouraging each of the contestants.

In class, Tian Jiaxuan even asked Li Shihan to sing first.

Then it was Hu Binbin and Zhang Wei, and she continued to encourage them as well.

This seemingly warm atmosphere carried a subtle undercurrent of melancholy.

Each girl was both reluctant and full of anticipation.

The production team thoughtfully arranged for the senior brothers to visit.

When Senior Brother Mao Mao, wearing glasses, arrived at the practice room, he found that apart from the staff, there were no contestants around.

"Excuse me, teachers, um, where are the contestants?" His lack of social skills made him a little confused.

Hiding behind the curtains, Lv Fangxin and the others held back their laughter.

They’d all heard that Senior Brother Mao Mao was a shy person, and now they saw it was true. His demeanor wasn’t an act—he was naturally like this.

Jiao Jinglan, seeing Mao Mao at a loss, couldn’t help but give him a "hint," which finally led him to find them behind the curtains. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Teacher Mao Mao, from now on, I can’t call you ’you’ casually. I’ll have to address you with more respect."

"Why?"

Looking very tense, Mao Mao stood straight, his legs tightly together.

"Because I’m going to place you in my heart."

Qi Ziyue’s words immediately excited the other girls, who clapped and laughed.

Mao Mao’s face flushed red in an instant.

This Qi Ziyue was too stunning, and Mao Mao was completely thrown off by such a "confession."

Lv Fangxin couldn’t stop laughing either. This Mao Mao—Teacher Mao Mao—was so sincere.

"Teacher Mao Mao, can I sing a duet with you?"

"Which song?"

Mao Mao agreed immediately—he was genuinely moved.

"Let’s sing ’Relief.’ It’s because of this song that I became a fan of yours."

Qi Ziyue’s bright, youthful eyes stared at him, making his strong heart beat even faster.

When the two of them sang together, Mao Mao, holding his guitar, couldn’t take his eyes off Qi Ziyue, which made Lv Fangxin and the others secretly giggle.

They found this Senior Brother Mao Mao so amusing, taking Qi Ziyue’s cheesy flirtation so seriously.

Meanwhile—

Two photographers wearing masks arrived at Meng Meixuan’s practice room.

"We’re here to record a message from you all to the senior brother. Let’s begin!"

The ever-eager Gao Ziyi immediately jumped to the front, clenched her fists, and began her adorable performance: "Senior brother, you’re so handsome!"

After saying this, she promptly turned to look elsewhere with a deadpan expression.

At this point, the cameraman suddenly asked, "Will you show this same expression when you meet the senior brother later?"

"No, I’ll smile beautifully and make the senior brother like me."

"No, you will."

"I will not! Oh my gosh!"

Gao Ziyi felt that something was off about the cameraman today.

"But, if I meet Teacher Mao Mao, I’ll be even happier."

A fellow fan of Mao Mao, she still couldn’t quite get over not being chosen by him.

Over there, Jiang Mengqi and Liu Feiyu had already sensed something odd.

They didn’t recognize the photographers who had just arrived, and one of them clearly had meticulously groomed eyebrows.

It was evident. These must be performers, and the identity of any male actor on this show was a no-brainer.

However, the two of them didn’t expose it and continued rehearsing as usual.

At that moment, Wang Tingting returned from the restroom.

When she walked in front of the camera, she suddenly realized how familiar the photographer looked.

Since she was a big fan of Xiao Xiao, she found this person’s eyes and eyebrows highly recognizable.

At that moment, the cameraman also said, "Take a few close-up shots of them."

"Sure, then please stand behind the backdrop over there!"

Once Wang Tingting heard the photographer’s voice and took another look at his physique, she exclaimed with excitement, "Are you Senior Brother Xiao Xiao?"

"Uh! No, I’m not!"

Gao Ziyi was immediately stunned, nearly wanting to hide in embarrassment.

Why had she been so carried away just now!

"Is it true? Are you really Senior Brother Xiao Xiao?"

At this point, Xiao Xiao stopped pretending and stepped forward.

Wang Tingting was the first to bow and say, "Hello, senior brother!"

Meanwhile, Gao Ziyi shouted at the top of her lungs, "I’m sorry, senior brother."

"Who just said they’d be happier meeting Senior Brother Mao Mao?"

Embarrassed to death, Gao Ziyi could only hang her head in silence.

However, Senior Brother Xiao Xiao was very easygoing and laughed, "It’s okay. I’ll make you all like me."

Nonetheless, the production team fulfilled Gao Ziyi’s wish and let her meet Senior Brother Mao Mao in the makeup room.

Coming out of the dazzling beauty of Qi Ziyue, Mao Mao was taken aback when he saw the plump Gao Ziyi.

"You look much thinner in person than on TV!" Mao Mao, after all, also watched talent shows.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Mao Mao. Do you watch our show too?"

"Of course. You’re so popular—practically everyone around me watches."

This instantly exhilarated Gao Ziyi, who felt like she’d truly made it.

Then, she asked a question that could be fatal: "Senior brother, who’s your favorite among us?"

Under Gao Ziyi’s expectant gaze, Mao Mao thought for a while before answering, "I like Lv Fangxin."

That nearly caused Gao Ziyi to collapse on the spot.

After getting an autograph and a hug, the production team wrapped up this special segment featuring Gao Ziyi.

In another practice room—

Senior Brother Xiong Xiong was preparing a birthday surprise for Fu Xiaoyu.

Since the show was incredibly popular, the senior brothers all wanted more screen time. To make it interesting for viewers, they had to come up with unique ways to appear.

Senior Brother Xiong Xiong used Fu Xiaoyu’s birthday celebration to create a memorable moment for the audience.

It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, subtly highlighting the production team’s preference for Fu Xiaoyu.

Cafeteria—

Lai Ruoxuan’s group was having a meal.

However, anyone familiar with the show knew this scene was staged.

During the cafeteria’s regular meal times, it would be packed with people.

Yet now, only Lai Ruoxuan’s group was eating there.

On the other side of the partitioned table, Senior Brother Da Xun walked in with a tray, pretending to overhear the girls’ conversation.

At this point in filming, the staging became more noticeable.

But there was no choice. With the limited time the senior brothers had, a full day of shooting might not yield enough material, so scripted scenes were necessary to create more highlights.

The girls jokingly teased Senior Brother Da Xun, naturally for dramatic effect.
