CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 353 - 345: The Final Group Formation

Live Scene

"If the founders are creating this girl group, it needs to have a striking name," said Gao.

"The group’s name is ’Heavenly Gifted Girl 505.’ Girls, your journey is to reach for the stars and the ocean!" Uncle Bao announced the name.

As soon as the name was revealed, the entire audience started mocking it. What kind of name is this?

"Now let’s take a look at their debut performance!" Uncle Bao and Gao spoke together.

The lights sparkled, and the atmosphere burned with passion.

Eleven girls performed their first stage show after forming the group.

The lineup was arranged in a forward-facing triangle. Meng Meixuan stood at the front, with Wu Lv guarding both sides.

The rest of the group lined up sequentially according to their ranks.

It was clear there were no live microphones; the eleven girls were lip-syncing to the lyrics.

This disappointed those watching the performance on their screens. Lv Fangxin even made a mistake.

However, people understood; after all, this was the first live stage, and the young girls were exhausted after over three months of intense competition.

Standing at the very back, Jiang Mengqi was quite happy. Though she was at the rear, she knew she was standing where most others could never reach.

At this moment, Gao Ziyi was still crying and couldn’t hold herself together.

As the performance ended, countless fans showered the venue with scented confetti.

Everyone at the venue understood that the time for closure had come.

"Ladies and gentlemen, dear founders, after over three months, this summer’s story of youth and dreams by the young girls of this show is coming to an end. Thank you for being with us all the way," Gao said emotionally.

"The journey to forming the group marks the beginning of another story. These eleven young girls need your continued attention and support, and under the call of their dreams, Heavenly Gifted Girl 505 will strive for even greater glory," Uncle Bao read from the script.

At that moment, all the mentors and the girls walked up to the stage.

The eleven girls also moved to the edge of the stage to thank their fans.

The staff was incredibly tense, fearing that any overly excited fans might rush up.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly.

Lv Fangxin was sitting blankly on the steps amidst the celebration, as though everything before her had nothing to do with her.

"Fangxin, what’s wrong?" Chen Yinghan approached her.

"I’m scared. I don’t know what to do."

"Just keep moving forward."

"But I don’t know how to sing or dance... and now we’ll have to perform."

At this moment, Lv Fangxin felt none of the joy of forming the group. She was overwhelmed with fear for the stage.

She knew that, throughout this program, she had only been an "actor."

The audience was watching snippets of her life.

But now that the group had formed, she had outgrown that "development system" and would have to perform one stage after another. Yet she felt completely incapable.

Although fans professed their love for her authenticity, innocence, and cuteness, how many fans truly stayed loyal for long?

Girls like her were everywhere; she just happened to be the one who stepped into the spotlight.

If she had no accomplishments, those fans would gradually drift away.

Chen Yinghan noticed her friend’s anxiety. She was worried about the same thing herself, but in moments like these, what Fangxin needed was encouragement. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Fangxin, since you’ve already reached this position, you can’t back out now."

"Do you want to go back to those days of obscurity?"

Chen Yinghan’s question sent a shiver down Fangxin’s spine.

"Yinghan, I’ll give it my all. I’ll work hard."

The two looked into each other’s eyes, seeing trust and encouragement reflected in them.

The cameraman immortalized this moment, capturing it as a classic testament to their friendship.

Over there, Lv Fangxin was speaking with Lu Bingbing.

With the final competition concluded, the grudges between the two had dissipated like smoke.

"Yuwei, when you have time, come back and visit us."

"I will for sure, Captain. I’ll never forget where I came from — Galaxy."

Lu Bingbing extended both arms and gave Ye Yuwei a big hug.

"Ziyi, stop crying. It’s over now," Li Shihan was consoling her.

"I know. I’m just so sad. I’ve been in the ranks to form the group twice now. Look, I’m still wearing the shoulder patch and badge that only A-class members get to wear," Gao Ziyi murmured in a daze, still lost in her dream. She had cried herself into a stupor.

Li Shihan herself felt regret, but she wasn’t overly upset. Her company had just sent her a message letting her know that she had to go to Ziluo Country tomorrow to film a reality show.

This show was a resource provided by Penguin according to their agreement. For the top 22 contestants, even those who didn’t make the group, Penguin promised to provide some resources.

Because they had signed non-compete agreements, they were prohibited from participating in any other talent shows for six months. Naturally, Penguin had to offer some opportunities in exchange.

Of course, Penguin wasn’t doing this out of kindness. Although these contestants didn’t make the group, their popularity was still substantial. For the next six months, they retained economic value.

And who knows? One of them might even become a breakout star, bringing additional traffic to the platform.

At that moment, Gao Ziyi suddenly looked up, glaring venomously at Jiang Mengqi, who was chatting and laughing with another teammate.

"Ziyi, don’t do anything foolish. You’ve already lost," Li Shihan quietly reminded her. Though she appeared naïve, she was sharp and perceptive inside.

Gao Ziyi quickly lowered her head. "I... I really..."

She clenched her fists tightly and dug her nails into her palms. She understood that Mengqi was no longer her teammate. Their status and position were now worlds apart.

Jiang Mengqi, sensing the tension, chose not to disturb Gao Ziyi.

Today’s debut was entirely beyond Mengqi’s expectations.

This was her one and only chance of making it into the group.

Han Qiuhua’s eyes were swollen from crying. She was close friends with Jiang Mengqi within the team.

"Mengqi, you did so wonderfully. You’ve finally made it."

"Qiuhua, I still can’t believe it. I thought I was going home."

"No way. You’re so sunny and lovable. Joining this group is a blessing for the entire team."

Han Qiuhua’s words made Jiang Mengqi laugh.

"I guess I’m lucky. Honestly, I thought the final group would include Ziyi, Shihan, Yinghan, and Feiyu."

"Mengqi, you’re just too kind, always thinking about others," Han Qiuhua lamented over Gao Ziyi’s inappropriate behavior today. After all, they were all part of the same team. Ziyi’s actions would undoubtedly reflect poorly on their subgroup, "Insect Girls," and affect how people viewed Jiang Mengqi.

But Qiuhua couldn’t outright voice her displeasure, so she silently sympathized with Mengqi.

"Qiqi, you finally debuted. You’ve made our captain proud," Lu Peiqin said enthusiastically.

"Qiqi is officially part of Heavenly Gifted now," Jiang Meixing joked.

"No, my heart will always belong to you guys," Lai Ruoxuan immediately declared.

Looking at her sisters, a wave of sorrow surged through her heart.

She had taken her first step forward, but her original team was still struggling.

"Qiqi, don’t worry. Our group has gained a big wave of fans," Jiang Meixing seemed to have read Lai Ruoxuan’s mind.

"Yes! We’ve gained so many new fans. Our theater is finally filling up," Lu Peiqin chimed in happily. This was the first time in her five years with the group that their theater had ever been packed.

Lai Ruoxuan smiled. "I still want to go back and dance with you all."

"Don’t! You absolutely can’t come back. You need to become a big star," Lu Peiqin urged.

"Peiqin’s right. If you don’t make it big, don’t bother coming to see us," Jiang Meixing added.

Their friendship, forged through shared struggles and hardships, was movingly profound.
