CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 318 - 311: Senior Xiao Xiao

Meng Meixuan had a very good impression of senior Xiao Xiao.

Because during rehearsals, although Xiao Xiao’s movements weren’t perfect, he kept practicing relentlessly.

Generally speaking, these guest stars on shows see their role as just helping out briefly, barely putting in any effort for someone less famous like Meng Meixuan’s team.

But Xiao Xiao practiced very seriously, ensuring every move was executed correctly.

This not only left a good impression on Meng Meixuan but also won over everyone else in the group.

To senior Xiao Xiao, this was just an ordinary gig, but for the six girls of "6 Song," this performance was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The stage lights changed to emulate the dreamy colors of a nightclub.

Senior Xiao Xiao sat on a tall chair, holding a clapperboard in his hand.

Once he mimicked clocking in as if he were a crew member, the prepared girls began moving to the rhythm of the music.

The tempo of the song was extremely fast, kicking off with a mini explosion of energy.

The girls formed layered double horizontal rows, leaning backward with a half-squat stance as their entire bodies shook.

This particular move was quite challenging, demanding a perfect display of the body’s side curve aesthetic while rhythmically syncing their movements to the beat.

Otherwise, it could appear chaotic or unappealing; the ability to physically shake required well-coordinated core strength.

All members except Li Zimeng executed the move beautifully.

The biggest strength of this group was their ability to keep time with the rhythm, eliminating the risk of being offbeat during their dance.

Their formation shifted quickly, transforming from double rows facing sideways to the audience, into a front-facing lineup with three members maintaining their earlier movements while the three members behind them stood up, fluidly mimicking snakes as they danced.

They swiftly transitioned again, forming a long snake-like formation sideways to the audience, repeating the semi-squat shaking move.

The continuous string of motions, akin to butterflies darting among flowers, was both graceful and powerful.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers; compared to the previous group, this choreography had evidently leveled up in difficulty.

The first vocalist for the opening three sets of eight beats was Liu Feiyu. Her pitch was precise, and her pronunciation fairly clear.

She even had a small interaction with senior Xiao Xiao during this part.

The song’s rhythm was extraordinarily fast, clocking in at a powerful 120 beats per minute.

Luckily, the tune didn’t have too many runs—otherwise, given their technical ability in this group, only Li Zimeng would have managed to sing through it.

Next was Gao Ziyi. Though her professionalism left something to be desired, her skill was undeniably present, and her voice even clearer than Liu Feiyu’s.

Following her was Wang Tingting, whose performance immediately lowered the bar. Her vocal range was not impressive; she wasn’t as good as Liu Feiyu and began struggling with the rhythm.

Therefore, she only sang for two sets of eight beats.

Then came Jiang Mengqi. Her voice was straightforward and loud, with accurate pronunciation and few pitch issues, yet completely lacking in beauty or nuance. The only commendable aspect was the sheer brightness of her tone.

Today’s center stage performer, Meng Meixuan, followed next, delivering vocals that instantly overshadowed the previous four.

Meng Meixuan’s voice had a subtle huskiness, supported by impressive vocal technique.

Her tone was distinctly recognizable, boasting an inherent uniqueness.

As the main center figure, the cameras focused entirely on her, reducing the rest of the group to mere backup dancers.

Next was Li Zimeng. Widely acknowledged in the base as a "Triple A" singer, her first note captivated everyone in the room.

While she didn’t have much space to shine, her breath control significantly surpassed that of Meng Meixuan.

Meng Meixuan returned to the vocals as the team shifted into a triangular formation.

The girls delivered a fiery, hip-swiveling dance.

The audience watched in a trance, cheering wildly.

Lu Bingbing couldn’t help but marvel; indeed, none among these remaining trainees were weak.

Their standard of singing and dancing had exceeded what she typically expected from girl groups.

One could claim that all six performers deserved to debut.

Of course, that wasn’t going to happen.

She glanced at Ye Yuwei, who was smiling softly at the big screen.

Her posture was impeccable, sitting like a perfect lady.

Privately, Ye Yuwei was dissatisfied with these performances.

The program team was tweaking the vocals live, which masked the shortcomings of those with weaker skills.

This clearly disadvantaged competitors with excellent singing ability.

The program team might be able to polish performances on this stage, but outside, no one would offer such favors.

The performance continued with a choreography shift to a Korean-inspired sultry style.

Of course, they avoided overly suggestive moves, only incorporating slight leg raises.

Coupled with changes in expression and flirtatious eye contact, they made fans swoon.

Liu Feiyu repeated the song’s lyrics.

The girls stopped dancing and began a musical theater-like interaction onstage.

The seated senior Xiao Xiao finally stood up to join them.

It looked as though he intended to accompany these girls to a youthful song-and-dance gala.

The six girls resumed singing in their initial sequence.

During the second chorus, Meng Meixuan and Xiao Xiao engaged in a brief rap duet.

The others were relegated to backup dancing roles.

As the performance approached its finale, Xiao Xiao joined the girls for a dance routine.

This addition made the entire showcase feel more complete and polished.

The final synchronized dance was executed exceedingly well, with strong movements and impeccable coordination.

As the music ended, Long Zitao came onstage to move the show forward: "Senior Xiao Xiao, this song is called ’I’m Just That Kind of Girl.’ So what kind of boy do you consider yourself?"

"I’m the lucky boy who got to perform alongside these extraordinary sisters," Xiao Xiao replied.

"And I hope my participation this time helped them in some way," he added, using heartfelt, strategic words that simultaneously boosted his image while garnering audience votes for the girls.

"Gao Ziyi, please give a candid evaluation of this senior," Long Zitao continued.

Meng Meixuan looked slightly displeased; other groups had their center performer speak first, but her group was having Ziyi go first, clearly due to the program giving her an unwarranted boost.

Gao Ziyi was not fazed by the attention and boldly stated, "When I first saw the senior’s poster, I didn’t think he was that handsome. But when I saw him in real life—oh my god! Too handsome!"

Her comment elicited laughter throughout the venue, and Xiao Xiao played along with a smile.

"Besides, he really has been working hard to help us," she added.

"So truly, I’m very grateful to our senior Xiao Xiao."

This was Gao Ziyi’s best remark in the program so far.

"Next, let’s continue sharing stories of our youthful days well spent," Long Zitao said.

"Now please have senior Xiao Xiao and one trainee draw the next set of cards," he continued, transitioning to the next part of the process.

Predictably, Xiao Xiao chose team leader Meng Meixuan.

The two notes they selected contained ordinary statements, just some daily musings.

"The MVP of this group is..."

Long Zitao’s announcement had the girls in the waiting area visibly tense.

This group had garnered five MVPs from the previous round, minus Gao Ziyi.

Still, the most likely winners were Meng Meixuan and Liu Feiyu.

After Round 3, Liu Feiyu’s popularity had surged dramatically online.

Her fame was nearly rivaling that of Chen Yinghan.

Liu Feiyu’s former teammates were cheering for her in the practice room, just as allies of Meng Meixuan were voicing support for her.

While spontaneous, those reactions betrayed the formation of smaller cliques.

"Congratulations to Meng Meixuan for winning this group’s MVP."

As expected, Meng Meixuan smiled and waved at everyone.

This time, she refrained from delivering a rousing speech, feeling somewhat drained from making the same declarations.

She simply said, "I stand by my old mantra: I’ll keep being my true self."

Her female fans erupted with passionate screams, seeing their "husband" as the most formidable of all.
