“Brother Xu, you absolutely can’t touch Xie Yu,” a middle-aged man, also one of the investors, said with a laugh. “Messing with the center position would be way too obvious. Have you even looked closely at his vote count? The combined votes of the other eight in the top nine don’t even come close to his—there’s a massive gap.

If you mess with him, I guarantee your sportswear and sneakers will get boycotted. Your company’s target customers are exactly these young people.”

Hearing this, Xu Jingshan took another careful look and realized that Xie Yu’s vote count was a full digit higher than everyone else’s.

He sucked in a sharp breath. “How did he get so many votes?”

Fan voting did involve spending money to some extent, but paid votes had strict limits.

Xie Yu’s vote count was already in the tens of billions—no amount of money could buy that. It could only be the result of millions of fans voting every single day.

The number of active fans was downright terrifying.

“He’s capable, good-looking—of course he attracts fans,” the middle-aged man said, patting Xu Jingshan on the shoulder. “Brother Xu, your show has the potential to launch a true top-tier star. And he’s an individual trainee. You’d be better off building a good relationship with him.”

Debuting as a top-tier star right away.

That was almost unheard of in the Daxia Empire.

The middle-aged man had a sharp eye.

With Xie Yu’s ability, it was only a matter of time before he reached the threshold of Greene.

“You’re right. We can’t touch him,” Xu Jingshan exhaled. “Good thing you reminded me.”

Once someone’s strength reached a certain level, even capital couldn’t suppress them.

“Then swap this one instead,” Xu Jingshan said, pointing at the list. “Move Lu Yan up to second place.”

The assistant noted it down.

“And this Shi Yu, along with these two—push them behind ninth place,” Xu Jingshan added. “Their agencies don’t value them, so there’s no need for us to back them either.”

Unlike some other trainees’ companies, who knew how to work connections and had already thrown a lot of resources* at him.

*resources here meant they had already invested heavily and pulled strings to push their trainees forward.

And just like that, the final lineup was decided.

“Don’t bother informing the production team,” Xu Jingshan flicked ash from his cigarette. “They wouldn’t be able to help anyway. On debut night, we’ll take full control.”

“Oh, right—there’s one more person worth keeping an eye on,” the middle-aged man added, sliding over a photo. “The show’s dance mentor. She’s already an adult. Take a look—what do you think?”

The photo showed Si Fuqing.

She had never posted a single selfie; this was a fan-taken screenshot.

No heavy retouching—just one fleeting glance, yet striking enough to be unforgettable.

“She does look good,” Xu Jingshan narrowed his eyes. “Why give her to me? You’re not interested?”

The middle-aged man shook his head. “I don’t dare. My family keeps a tight leash.”

Xu Jingshan snorted, clearly unconvinced. “Give it a few days. Once the show’s hype dies down, if I want her, she’ll come on her own.”

Even A-list celebrities clung to him for resources.
Si Fuqing was merely a popularity-driven idol—no background, no connections.

All it would take was a wave of his hand.

Xu Jingshan handed the photo to his assistant. “After debut night, keep an eye on her.”

“Yes,” the assistant replied, then left to make arrangements.

That evening, at six o’clock, Si Fuqing left the training base to visit Gu Wen Zhu.

The two had dinner together.

“A Lan, I watched your show,” Gu Wenzhu adjusted his glasses. “What kind of makeup was that? I honestly didn’t recognize you.”

“Cyberpunk trash,” Si Fuqing twisted open a bottle of cola and raised an eyebrow. “Fashion. You wouldn’t understand.”

“I really don’t,” Gu Wenzhu said slowly. “Such a good face, painted like a ghost. Luckily you’ve taken it off now—otherwise I might not have had the appetite to eat.”

He suddenly paused, then added, “With your current identity… it’s probably not appropriate for me to keep calling you A Lan, is it?”

Si Fuqing froze for a moment, then smiled softly. “Just call me A Lan. You’re used to it, and so am I.”

“Suddenly changing would take some getting used to,” Gu Wenzhu snorted. “For all I know, even Yun Lan wasn’t your real name. After you disappeared, I practically dug three feet into the ground and still couldn’t find you.”

“What’s more impressive is that even T18 and Zero couldn’t crack your IP address. How did I end up with such an extraordinary student?”

Si Fuqing showed no modesty whatsoever.
“That’s because they’re not good enough.”

“Be careful,” Gu Wenzhu sighed. “Don’t end up getting caught one day. Alright, go back and rest. I’ll go on Saturday night myself—you don’t need to pick me up.”

“Then make sure you keep a low profile, Teacher,” Si Fuqing stood up. “Your face is an icon in the fashion world—don’t scare the kids.”
