CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 330 - 322: List of 22 People

Li Ke wiped away her tears.

Her emotions surged uncontrollably as she wrote a short essay:

When we were kids, our dreams might have been to become "scientists" or "big celebrities."

As we grew up and entered college, we all thought of ourselves as chosen ones.

Yet, when we stepped out of the ivory tower, we realized that all our pride was nothing more than a frog in a well.

At work, we learned to endure the blows of society, to withstand all kinds of ridicule.

Sometimes, we truly wanted to give up and join the group that simply lies flat.

But Lv Fangxin told us, so what if we’re mediocre, so what if malice surrounds us? I can live with confidence, and I can laugh heartily and sincerely.

To not waste our youth, to give an answer to those who love us, we must persevere to the end and never give up!

Lv Fangxin is telling us that for every bias, there is also a preference. I may be ordinary, but I equally deserve the love I have!

Lv Fangxin’s touching speech inspired countless adaptations.

The weary villagers, as if energized by adrenaline, swore to send the village flower on her debut.

This is a rebellion against fate, a testament that even those of us at the bottom can achieve our dreams.

On the cruise, the show continued.

Gao Ziyi spoke up:

"Recently, I’ve been under a lot of pressure, and many people have questioned me."

"Even though I constantly prove my abilities, some people still look down on me."

"But I think I need to be strong now; there’s nothing to fear."

"If I’m not strong, those who support me and love me won’t have the strength either."

"I will survive here. I surely will."

After hearing Gao Ziyi’s statement, Ye Yuwei thought to herself, "Fool."

In previous episodes, the production team edited her persona as kind and funny.

She had gained popularity based on this image.

But now, she insists on crafting a persona of resilience and determination.

So arrogant and sure of herself, openly confronting those who doubt her on the show.

Yet in all the episodes, viewers have only seen her comedic and lackluster training moments, so how could this new persona ever hold up?

The final showdown was just around the corner, yet she discarded her most advantageous weapon.

Moreover, her words subtly target Lv Fangxin.

It was her slap on Lv Fangxin’s hand during the gift-unwrapping segment that had sparked so much backlash from the villagers.

Though there is both overt and covert rivalry between them, outwardly they still maintain a close sisterly bond.

Except for Wang Na, who’s intent on shaping an independent woman image.

Gao Ziyi’s remarks were a semi-public act of tearing the veil.

This sowed discord, and fans of other contestants might not appreciate her lack of team spirit.

Lu Bingbing sighed inwardly; Gao Ziyi was getting ahead of herself.

Did she really think she’d climbed to this position purely through her singing and dancing performance?

In her opinion, the former would certainly not be debuting.

A company like Penguin Entertainment might tolerate a singing-and-dancing failure like Lv Fangxin.

But that’s only because Lv Fangxin’s popularity is sky-high.

They couldn’t possibly tolerate someone like Gao Ziyi, who viewers only see as comic relief.

After all, the debuting girl group represents Penguin Entertainment’s image.

Yang Xiaoyue asked Long Zitao to deliver a concluding statement.

"Being an artist looks bustling, but it’s actually quite lonely."

"In the past, after finishing work, I’d want to go out and have fun. Now, I just don’t want to leave the house."

"Why? Because the higher your position, the more people know you, and the less freedom you have."

Many netizens scoffed at Long Zitao’s words.

If not for his good treatment of all the girls, they would have started criticizing him already.

"Once you leave here, you’ll find yourselves incredibly busy!"

"There will be countless appearances and schedules, all of which are consuming."

"If, five years from now, your name is still in the entertainment circle, then you’ve truly established yourself. What’s the foundation? Your works."

Long Zitao’s words garnered renewed respect from others, making him seem like a truly responsible person.

At the same time, his words plunged the girls into silence. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Being in the industry, they naturally understood the importance of works.

"Now, we will announce the members of Class B."

"Ranked twelfth, Lai Ruoxuan."

"Ranked thirteenth, Yang Ni."

Upon hearing her ranking, Yang Ni couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly; she had fallen out of the debut spots.

It seems that what she said to her fans about not voting was proving true.

Lai Ruoxuan, on the other hand, was exhilarated, feeling that she had taken another big step closer to her goal.

"Ranked fourteenth, Qiang Yueting."

Hearing this rank, Qiang Yueting felt a surge of despair, realizing she too had dropped out of the debut spots. Her intuition told her she wouldn’t make it into the final group.

"Ranked fifteenth, Gao Yingxi."

"Ranked sixteenth, Liu Feiyu."

"Ranked seventeenth, Qi Ziyue."

"Ranked eighteenth, Jiang Mengqi."

Long Zitao paused and glanced at the girls, each showing tension on their faces.

"Ranked nineteenth, Li Shihan."

"Ranked twentieth, Lv Xiaoxue."

"Ranked twenty-first, Chen Yinghan."

"Ranked twenty-second, Lu Bingbing."

Upon hearing her name, Lu Bingbing felt like she wanted to laugh bitterly.

She understood that this was probably the result of an agreement between the production team and her company.

She turned her head to glance at the mixed emotions on Wang Qingyu’s face before walking to her spot.

On the other side, Lu Xiaoman was tearfully watching Meng Meixuan.

She realized that although this farewell seemed short, it was essentially a farewell separated by mountains and seas.

After debut, Meng Meixuan’s every move would be closely monitored by fans and the media.

With such a heavy workload, there would be no chance to maintain their current relationship.

Fan Lei likewise shed tears. Though she’d mentally prepared herself,

when the moment truly arrived, she deeply felt her dream shatter. Perhaps she’d develop better outside this competition? She tried to console herself.

Wang Tingting and Jiang Meixing felt similar disappointment and frustration.

They believed they had a real chance to make it into the top 22; it was simply that they hadn’t been given enough time to shine.

Zhao Juke was equally unwilling to accept this result. If her company had done just a little more for her, she could have made it through.

Meanwhile, Lv Fangxin was ecstatic, practically flying with joy. As the rankings were read, she grew more and more desperate, not realizing Chen Yinghan had scraped into the group.

Jiang Mengqi was equally surprised and thrilled, having packed her luggage in preparation for elimination, yet finding herself in the top 22 with another chance to perform.

"Please share your thoughts, contestants."

"Thank you, everyone. I am your Little Rainbow."

Jiang Mengqi formed a big heart above her head with her hands.

"I really didn’t expect I could still stand here."

"Thank you. I’ll show you all the version of me you love most."

Though Jiang Mengqi’s comments were pandering to her fans, even they couldn’t find fault with it, as no one actually believed she would debut.

Since that’s the case, let Rainbow showcase her most beautiful self!

"Hello, everyone. I am Li Shihan. Thank you."

"I believe that as long as you work hard, it will surely be noticed."

"I’ll be brave. I’ll work even harder."

Li Shihan’s words were few, but her tone evoked great pity.

As the initial center, she had endured harsh criticisms from all sides and immense pressure.

Her ranking continually dropped, yet she remained kind and had decent talent.

Her fans weeping before the screen felt tormented, their hatred for Lv Fangxin overwhelming.
