After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 471: The Finals Begin
Chapter 471: Chapter 471: The Finals Begin
Mrs. Han embraced Han Ruixin and said, "Don’t worry, my daughter, even if your father doesn’t support us, we aren’t afraid. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, after all. The money I have in hand is more than enough to get you the throne of Smart Girl Class Leader!"
Seeing the fierce look in her mother’s eyes, Han Ruixin couldn’t help but say, "Mommy, you aren’t thinking of hiring those assassins again, are you?"
Mrs. Han replied, "Rest assured, Mommy isn’t stupid. The one they sent last time was really dumb, but luckily the marksmanship wasn’t bad – just good enough not to hit your vitals. And then someone killed him afterwards; otherwise, we would have had a big problem."
At the same time as the mother and daughter were chatting, in a car parked outside the Sheng Mansion’s wall, a boy responsible for eavesdropping on the luxurious residents of the old mansion was so excited he was nearly jumping out of his seat!
Ever since the boss, Guan Jiu, ordered him to listen in on various places inside the old mansion, he hadn’t caught any useful information. But now, he had actually heard the Han mother and daughter plotting with an assassin to stage a sympathy ploy – he could finally report something significant to his boss.
The preliminary and semifinal rounds of the Smart Girl Class competition had ended, and the final round had finally begun!
After several rounds of selection, six contestants had qualified, and along with Han Ruixin and Ye Shu, who were directly seeded into the competition, there were a total of eight contestants, ready for the final showdown.
Unlike other contests, these eight contestants would compete in the final round at the same time, on three different criteria: fan support rate, jury support rate, and business performance. The fan support rate would count for 20 points, the jury support rate for 20 points, and the heavily weighted business performance would count for 60 points.
The final result, based on the total score from all three criteria, would determine the winner. The one with the highest score would be honored as the Smart Girl Class Leader and, naturally, would hold a relatively higher position within the Sheng Family’s business chain in the future.
The other contestants had garnered considerable popularity having progressed from open auditions, so their appearances at the hotel naturally ignited waves of screaming from fans!
Although Han Ruixin had also advanced directly to the top 8, many spectators had already raised "Ruxin Baby" signs to cheer for Han Ruixin, which looked very fake at a glance.
Standing on the stage, others had fan interactions, but Ye Shu was somewhat disappointed to find herself without any, relieved that her mother-in-law, the chief judge, was secretly giving her thumbs up, reassuring her not to worry.
"Come on, let’s have our eight contestants stand together in the center of the stage!" The host’s magnetic voice quickly drew everyone’s attention to the center of the stage.
Ye Shu and Han Ruixin stood side by side in the center of the stage, while the other contestants spread out to either side.
Turning her head to check, Ye Shu was a bit puzzled – why hadn’t she seen Qin Qianqian yet?
Just as she was wondering, suddenly she heard someone shouting a name from below, "Han Ruixin! Han Ruixin! Han Ruixin! ..."
The voices rose one wave after another, with Mrs. Han leading the charge, shouting her daughter’s name while sneering towards the empty area reserved for Ye Shu’s relatives and friends.
Not having anyone from her own friends and relatives group wasn’t surprising to Ye Shu at all because she hadn’t invited them. Moreover, she originally thought that as long as Mr. Sheng could be there, sitting among her supporters would be meaningful.
Unfortunately, Mr. Sheng had something come up and had to go abroad...
At this point, the host started the opening banter, "Come on, those who have money give money, those who have strength give strength, let’s cheer for your favorite Smart Girl!"
