CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 409 - 401: Cohesion of the Group Soul

Yang Ni encountered trouble while filming the MV together with everyone despite her injury.

Big Ship hired a big-screen director for the filming effects.

So, the shooting method was akin to filming a movie.

For those who had acted before, it wasn’t too bad; but for those who hadn’t, it felt torturous.

Duan Yuxin and the others had a single expression rejected over dozens of times, almost breaking down on the spot.

According to the director, it typically takes six days to complete filming for this four-minute-ten-second MV.

The producer from Big Ship nearly lost his temper—this is an MV, not a movie.

After a heated argument, they finally managed to wrap up the shoot within two days.

Next up was the official stage performance for a music show.

Natural Girl’s fans learned about this through open channels.

As the girls were at the peak of their fame, they were surrounded by countless fans.

Each fan group hoped their support team could send more people, but the onsite recording only allowed 200 attendees.

On average, each group barely got twenty spots, so the attendees were mostly prominent fans or wealthy ones.

People like Li Ke and Qiu Fan naturally couldn’t miss out.

Li Ke had now become somewhat of a semi-professional fan, spending his days wondering what the "Village Blossom" was up to.

Phew!

So sleepy!

Lv Fangxin couldn’t help but let out a cute yawn.

They had been summoned to Big Ship Company early in the morning for styling and makeup, followed by the music show stage preparations.

The eleven of them, along with makeup artists and assistants, crammed into a room that looked spacious but felt fully packed.

Six hours later, they arrived outside the stage venue. Per the organizer’s requirements, they had to enter using cars sponsored by designated brands, so they switched to five brand-new SUVs.

Li Ke was already growing impatient. The studio from Big Ship had provided an utterly inaccurate timeline.

Originally, they said 7 a.m., but now it was already 9 a.m., and the people still hadn’t shown up.

He glanced at a tall, long-haired man with a bushy beard standing in the distance, holding a Lai Ruoxuan support sign.

Li Ke couldn’t fathom why such a rugged man would like Qiqi, the petite girl.

Perhaps he’s an anime-loving nerd, though his outfit looked quite polished.

Unbeknownst to him, that guy was one of Lai Meiyun’s major fans, nicknamed "Big Beard," who came from a family of miners.

The man was fine, but Li Ke’s true annoyance lay with Qiu Fan, a die-hard Meng Meixuan fan.

Currently, "Flower Fans" and "Xuan Army" were at each other’s throats.

Wherever Lv Fangxin showed up, "Xuan Army" would come to critique her, and vice versa.

Lv Fangxin’s side had more mature social individuals, so their approach was relatively restrained.

They didn’t like the toxic parts of fandom culture, preferring to reason. However, Meng Meixuan’s fanbase skewed younger.

Yang Ni’s fan circle added to the mix—a group of quirky girls, often dressed in dirty T-shirts and pants, accessorized with chains around their necks.

Qiu Fan also recognized Li Ke and shot him a fierce glare.

Li Ke returned the stare immediately, feeling like the two groups were moments away from a brawl.

"They’re here, they’re here," the crowd stirred with excitement.

Li Ke and Qiu Fan, who had been glaring from a distance, shifted their gaze toward the SUVs rolling in slowly.

Security guards in black suits stepped forward and opened the car doors. Meng Meixuan, clad in high-waisted canvas shoes, striped leisure pants, and a khaki trench coat with fine stripes, stepped out, wearing an expression of pure arrogance.

Without glancing around, she headed straight toward the auditorium doors.

Qiu Fan froze in excitement the moment he saw his "idol," trembling all over to the point his mind went blank.

"Our C Queen is truly the C Queen—this elegance is absolutely mesmerizing."

Then, the other members of Natural Girl stepped out one by one. Li Ke couldn’t suppress his laughter when he saw his idol’s outfit.

Todays’ Lv Fangxin was wearing a pair of pale green canvas shoes, socks showing her ankles, a pair of oversized denim overalls like those from Super Mario, and a pale blue silk shirt tucked inside, giving off a bit of a tomboy vibe.

Still, Lv Fangxin’s high looks made even this quirky outfit appear like an illustration out of a comic book.

Li Ke waved his banner, shouting "Village Blossom."

Ye Yuwei, on the other hand, wore a sleek black jumpsuit paired with a light blue denim jacket, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, with a few strands swept up by the breeze.

Though Li Ke wasn’t her fan, he couldn’t help stealing a few extra glances—this girl was simply stunning.

Her figure was absolutely killer, especially those long legs that seemed tailor-made.

Wu Zixuan had on white sneakers, skinny jeans, a printed T-shirt, and a bright red rolled-edge casual jacket.

Her figure was average but very slender, and her tall stature lent her a model-like vibe.

Her fans were just as crazed, shouting her name nonstop.

While the program forbade close-range fan interaction, the attention-seeking Wu Zixuan ran over anyway, grabbing bouquets and banners presented by her fans.

This made her fans even more hysterical, and if not for the barriers, they would have surged forward.

Yang Ni, dressed in a sporty casual outfit, mimicked her actions, heading over to interact with her fans as well.

Most of her fans were female and, upon seeing her, let out a peculiar series of high-pitched squeals.

Meng Meixuan viewed this with disdain. With her cold demeanor, she simply gave a slight wave to her fans.

Ye Yuwei, however, maintained a constant gentle smile—the hallmark of a professional idol.

Over on Qiqi’s side, she spotted her fan, Big Beard, and couldn’t help but press her lips into a smile. She personally liked this fan, feeling he was adorably bear-like.

Big Beard, being steady and reserved, refrained from yelling and instead waved his banner, offering encouragement.

Jiang Mengqi’s fans were plentiful too, despite her debut from a contested ranking. She was winning the hearts of more people.

Today, she wore cute pink boots, a black fiber-knit tracksuit, and a blue-and-white striped crewneck T-shirt underneath.

Her makeup leaned more toward a sophisticated style, paired with gold-framed glasses and an updo.

This was a sharp contrast to her usual image but no less eye-catching.

Zhang Zijing wore a red sweatshirt, black-and-white striped pants, and pure white casual shoes.

Though her fanbase wasn’t large, their passionate support was unwavering.

Waving as she passed, Zhang Zijing wore a broad smile.

Fu Xiaoyu and Li Zimeng also sported casual outfits.

After collectively greeting their fans, the group entered the auditorium.

"Fangxin, what’s wrong? Why are you sitting so upright like that?" Zhang Zijing asked with a curious look.

"It’s nothing!" Lv Fangxin replied weakly.

Meng Meixuan chuckled, "Fangxin, you’ve performed so many times already—stop being nervous. This show is just for the fans."

Jiang Mengqi approached and draped an arm over Lv Fangxin’s shoulder, saying, "It’s alright, you’re not alone; you have us."

Those words instantly warmed Lv Fangxin’s heart.

Right! She had ten sisters by her side.

"Fangxin, have confidence. We are the strongest. We are the ones standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, the ones they look up to," Ye Yuwei declared with a face full of confidence and charisma. The others gathered around, forming a circle and extending their hands forward.

Lv Fangxin, moved nearly to tears, placed her hand atop her teammates’ hands.

The eleven of them shouted a slogan that would forever resonate among their fans and in the annals of Huaxia girl group history.
