CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 347 - 339 Each Stage

"Amazing, truly amazing!" Uncle Bao stepped onto the stage.

"The girls’ performance was absolutely remarkable, the entire audience was thrilled!" Gao also chimed in.

"Now, let us warmly welcome the second group of performing guests!" Uncle Bao gestured invitingly.

Clad in a red outfit, Ye Yuwei stepped onto the stage. At this moment, she was like a line from Bai Juyi’s poem: "When the morning sun rises, the river flowers glisten red like fire." Today, she had chosen the music group.

When Ye Yuwei appeared, almost all the fans simultaneously fell silent.

This girl was simply too stunning.

Whether they adored her or despised her, no one could deny her talent and beauty.

Wu Jingxiang stared mesmerized at the radiant Ye Yuwei through the screen.

Her originally clear eyes, resembling autumn water, began to reveal a terrifying sinister glint, as if possessed by an evil spirit.

"Ha! Yuwei, do you think aligning with Penguin can escape my grasp? The first business you’ll undertake was my gift to you," Wu Jingxiang sneered darkly, her smile chilling to the bone.

Xiao Du had no time to watch; he was with Mu Yunchu, nervously monitoring the rankings.

Since the broadcast began, voting permissions refreshed every 22 minutes, with a cut-off at 10 PM.

This meant there were only 5 chances to vote in total, but having tickets didn’t necessarily mean you could cast them; the server had a refresh timeline.

Other than the Doki channel, all other voting channels had been completely shut down, with "Like Gift Packs" dropping every 22 minutes.

Initially, everyone thought these "Like Gift Packs" were insignificant, but someone posted an alleged insider tip in various fan group chats.

The secret weapon for the royal fans to claim victory might just be these gift packs.

This revelation infuriated all the fan bases. How were they supposed to compete now?

"Xiao Du, Yuwei’s ranking has dropped two spots," Mu Yunchu’s voice trembled with tension.

"Hmph! I knew this would happen. Stop all votes immediately."

Once Xiao Du halted the voting, Penguin’s real-time monitoring system immediately uploaded the report.

"Ye Yuwei’s fan base has stopped voting!"

Wan Kai furrowed his brow as he read the report, feeling both concerned and helpless.

Having already signed a contract with Ye Yuwei and secretly arranged subsequent resources, it was impossible not to let her debut at this point.

He understood the intent of Ye Yuwei’s fan base—they refused to be coerced by the program team. Their stance was clear: Give her a rightful position, or we won’t spend a dime.

Just then, the monitoring team reported a surge in Wang Na’s votes.

"Damn it, they’re putting the program team in a tough spot!"

Wan Kai knew this surge was orchestrated by Ye Yuwei’s fan base. If the show boasted of reinventing girl groups, then fine—they would force it to redefine the narrative.

Wan Kai was determined not to allow Wang Na to debut. Nobody would cater to the "feminism agenda" by pouring money into a girl group; on the contrary, it might alienate a large male fan base.

On stage, Ye Yuwei’s delicate, graceful voice floated forth.

"Keep smiling."

"Walk courageously, carrying the warmth of the sun..."

Ye Yuwei sang this section with deep emotion; she thought this song was written for her.

Despite the arduous journey and harsh conditions, she persevered.

Her heart was filled with dreams, even if those dreams seemed so distant.

The elegant and clear voice felt like raindrops, gently falling into every listener’s heart.

In the mentor section, watching the performance, Tian Jiaxuan’s eyes instinctively welled up.

Back then, she had been just like these girls, fearlessly chasing her dreams.

Liu Feiyu stepped onto the stage, dressed in a colorful striped cardigan and bell-bottom jeans, reminiscent of a 90s celebrity poster.

With her impeccable looks and charm as an actress, she was undoubtedly outstanding.

She too sang with passion, hoping to leave her most beautiful impression on the stage.

Her teammates, Luo Qijia and Simona, watched her from backstage, each holding a banner with her name. The cameraman deliberately zoomed in for a close-up.

Next was Chen Yinghan, who had prepared an English song for today.

The flowing notes complemented her smooth vocals. Accompanied by Chen Yinghan’s enchanting appearance, her sound reached both the audience’s ears and hearts. Her voice was quite good—clear and bright.

The reason she chose this English song was because of her previous stage failure.

An earlier English number subjected her to ridicule for months.

People claimed her looks and talent didn’t match. After over three months of intensive training, she wanted to prove them wrong.

Fans cheered enthusiastically after her appearance, many of whom had always liked her as a standout among her group.

Through the screen, Shou Shou sipped whiskey while watching this final showdown.

Adjusting his glasses, a cold glint flashed across his face.

He knew his company’s equity might no longer be secure.

As Wu’s Entertainment Group was the second-largest shareholder, they had pressured him into agreeing to a betting agreement.

This meant Lv Fangxin had to generate no less than 150 million in net profits for the company within three years, or Wu’s Entertainment Group would buy his 51% shares for 96 million.

Before the agreement, Wu’s Entertainment Group suddenly demanded an increase in registered capital.

At that time, Shou Shou had no money left to support Lv Fangxin’s operations and had no choice but to concede to his parent company’s request.

He believed the parent company aimed to accumulate more shares to reap greater returns post-operation.

Unexpectedly, Wu’s Entertainment Group and another controlling company forced him to sign this agreement.

If he didn’t sign, company law would allow the shareholders to revoke his standing and force the sale of his shares—albeit at market value.

With money being no issue for Wu’s Entertainment Group, this wasn’t their concern.

But Shou Shou refused to sell his shares. He knew that as long as Lv Fangxin debuted successfully and maintained her momentum, his stake value would soar a hundredfold.

Hence, he had no choice but to sign this agreement that filled him with both rage and resignation.

The performances on stage continued. Fu Xiaoyu, resembling a radiant phoenix flower, emerged dramatically under dazzling lights. Although previously fearless, today marked the first time she felt nervous.

Nevertheless, her execution remained brilliant.

Next was Gao Ziyi, wearing twin ponytails. Regardless of her performance, her talent was undeniable—stable and consistent in her singing.

Dressed in a flowing white gown, Zhang Zijing appeared. Her voice brimmed with emotion, akin to a lyrical poem unfolding gently in a university classroom.

Her surging feelings had initially made her fear singing poorly, but she somehow managed to summon an authentic, heartfelt voice.

Lu Bingbing walked out, with a massive black-and-white backdrop screen showcasing her grueling training journey.

Her voice was gentle and light, like the down of spring.

This was the first time since entering the program she’d sung a song truly suited to her vocal tone and personality.

In just a minute and a half, she felt as if she’d lived through her entire early life.

She seemed to glimpse the cheers of her sisters rallying behind her, and the tears of devoted fans rooting for her.

As time flew by like galloping steeds, Li Zimeng stepped onto the stage.

Her splendid, elegant vocals unfolded amidst heavenly melodies.

As a vocal 3A performer, her talent was indeed extraordinary.

In an instant, the fans’ hearts rose and fell with her song, creating a resonance deep within each listener that evoked an urge to sing along.

Qi Ziyue dazzled today as well, wearing a silk princess short dress, her long legs sleek and straight. Her voice, sweet and delicate like Lu Bingbing’s, was equally captivating.

With lingering thoughts still within her, Qiang Yueting stepped forward. Her voice carried inspiration, determination, and vitality, as if telling everyone to courageously move forward no matter what.

From the moment she stood on stage, Qiang Yueting had abandoned all distractions. Her sole focus was to use her voice to create the most beautiful memory for herself.

Her life philosophy revolved around striving and progressing, though others might view her as overly ambitious. After all, humility had been ingrained into her since childhood.

After completing their individual songs, the performers regrouped for a group performance.

This time, the power in their voices surpassed any prior experience.

Perhaps they hadn’t realized it, but the place they felt safest was within this team.

The audience exploded with applause full of joy and emotion. They felt every bit of the performers’ sentiments.
