Chapter 65: Si Fuqing: I’ll Send You to the Top.

If it were the trainees who had been given special attention by the production team, the producer would naturally be concerned.

But Xie Yu?

Just an individual trainee.

He had neither signed with any company nor did he have a family background or connections in the entertainment industry. Was it worth it for the planner to go out of his way to help?

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, the producer had seen his fair share of overt and covert struggles. The tactics might not be very clever, but they were often disgustingly effective.

The disappearance of Xie Yu’s costume could only be chalked up to bad luck; no one else could be blamed.

Taking a sip of water, the planner spoke again, “Keep a close eye on all online activities. If there’s a strong backlash from Xie Yu’s fans, just say that he lost the clothes himself.”

Otherwise, how could it be that only Xie Yu’s costume had gone missing?

The staff member nodded.

After leaving, he couldn’t help but sigh.

He had a lot of respect for Xie Yu.

But there was nothing he could do; he wasn’t the one who called the shots in the production team.

Unfortunately, Xie Yu would have to bear the brunt of this incident.

Meanwhile, backstage.

“You are not to speak of this!” Zuo Qingya ordered brusquely, “Just say that the costume got lost, got it?”

Lin Qingyan smiled obligingly, “What are you talking about, Miss Qingya? I haven’t even seen the costume.”

“Good, you’re sensible.” Zuo Qingya lifted her chin arrogantly, “What’s your name again?

Lin Qingyan’s smile stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered, “Lin

Qingyan.”

“Whatever, it doesn’t matter what you’re called.” Zuo Qingya waved her hand dismissively, “You’ve done well on this matter. After I watch Si Fuqing make a fool of herself, I’ll reward you.”

Lin Qingyan’s smile was on the verge of breaking.

Zuo Qingya took out her phone and dialed a number.

Once the call connected, she smirked maliciously, “Si Fuqing, you think you can establish a foothold in the entertainment industry through your trainees? Don’t even dream of it!”

“Watch, none of the people in your group will be able to perform today. You’ve crossed me; you might as well give up on a career in this industry… What? You dare to curse me? You—!”

The call was cut off, and Zuo Qingya angrily threw her phone down.

Lin Qingyan witnessed the whole scene.

She silently cursed, “Idiot.”

How could the third daughter of the Zuo family be so devoid of brains?

Even though they shared the same mother, she was miles apart from Zuo Xianyu, the second daughter of the Zuo family.

Lin Qingyan took a moment to compose herself and said politely, “Miss Qingya, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”

“Go on, go on, you’re not needed anymore,” Zuo Qingya said, unconcerned, “I’ll wander around by myself.”

Only then did Lin Qingyan manage to remove herself and head to the trainee preparation area.

She was quite interested in seeing Si Fuqing and Xie Yu make fools of themselves.

The news of the missing dance costumes had already spread like wildfire, so much so that Mu Qingmeng had hurried over.

“I heard the costumes are missing, what do we do?” Mu Qingmeng was anxious.

“Can the performance be postponed? I can have some clothes sent over.”

She had always worked behind the scenes, but since her heart condition had worsened, she had stepped back from the entertainment world.

Mu Qingmeng despised the shady tactics that were often employed in the entertainment industry.

“The performance can’t be postponed,” Xu Xiyun pursed his lips. “Xie Yu has to go on stage in five minutes; there’s simply no time!”

Surprisingly, Xie Yu seemed calm, as if he didn’t care much about the situation.

“It’s fine,” Si Fuqing also appeared unfazed. ‘We do have dance costumes, but if possible, I would appreciate it if Aunt Mu could send us some sportswear.”

Wait, what?

The trainees were stunned at her words.

Where would there be extra dance costumes?

Si Fuqing opened a bag and pulled out a paper sack, gesturing, “Try it on.”

Xie Yu was clearly surprised. He hesitated for a moment before opening the sack.

Upon seeing the costume inside, his eyes sharpened.

He looked up, his expression solemn, “Thank you, Teacher Si.”

A minute later, Xie Yu emerged from the dressing room in his new attire.

The moment he stepped out, he took everyone’s breath away.

Xu Xiyun stammered, astonished, “Such…such beautiful clothing!”

It was a handcrafted dance costume, embroidered with gold and silver threads.

It was as if the dawn sky and floating clouds had been captured and sewn into the fabric of the costume, radiating an ethereal glow that captivated all who saw it.

Clothes make the man, and given Xie Yu’s already striking physique, the outfit only accentuated his handsome features and upright posture.

No spotlight was needed; he would naturally draw the audience’s attention.

“I never intended for you to wear the costumes provided by the production team,” Si Fuqing examined Xie Yu from head to toe. “Not bad, it fits quite well.”

“You’re joking, right?” Xu Xiyun blinked. “Would the production team tamper with the costumes? That would be stupid. ”

“The production team wouldn’t, but that doesn’t mean others wouldn’t,” Si Fuqing tilted her head. “In the entertainment industry, you need to be cautious.

There are plenty of people who would love to pull you off that center position.”

“If you perform well, the costume is yours.”

Xie Yu paused briefly, “Teacher Si, this costume is too valuable. I can’t accept it.”

“Take it,” Si Fuqing said nonchalantly. “But make sure you secure that center position for me.”

For the first time, Xie Yu’s casual demeanor changed. He stood straight,

“Alright, then I’ll stand up.”

“What do you mean, Xie Yu?” Xu Xiyun was puzzled. “Have you been lying down this whole time?”

“You could say that,” Xie Yu stretched his limbs.

Xu Xiyun:

Iflying down he was already second in popularity votes, what would happen when he stood up?

Xu Xiyun felt a bit despondent.

Indeed, the universe isn’t fair.

While Xie Yu and Si Fuqing were showcasing their talents, he felt like he was merely showcasing his confused state.

“Then stand tall,” Si Fuqing looked up and smiled. “Your performance will be the first step towards becoming a top-tier star.”

In the preparation area, the trainees were noticeably anxious.

This was their first live performance, a different ballgame compared to prerecorded shows they were used to.

They were all aware of the issue with Xie Yu’s missing dance costume.

Some were worried, while others were pleased.

“Great news, Bother Yan,” Mu Ye was thrilled. “Xie Yu’s dance costume is gone.

He won’t be able to go on stage.”

Lu Yan merely hummed, unimpressed, “He got off easy.”

If Xie Yu had worn a tampered costume, he would either have failed to complete his performance, humiliating himself, or he would have completed it but be too injured to compete later. Losing the costume was actually the least damaging outcome.

Lu Yan wasn’t satisfied.

“Exactly, he got off easy,” Mu Ye snorted.

“Let’s go,” Lu Yan finally relaxed a bit, not spotting Xie Yu among the trainees getting ready. He had always been irked by the decision to make Xie Yu the center for the theme song performance.

Now, he was quite pleased.

Meanwhile, the host on stage had received instructions from the production team.

“Apologies, we’ve had a little mishap, ” the host touched his earpiece. “Unfortunately, our trainee Xie Yu has lost his dance costume, so he won’t be performing today. The center position will temporarily be filled by the runner-up.”

The moment these words were uttered, the audience in the auditorium and those waiting for the live broadcast exploded with reactions.

[Why? What happened?! ]

[Doesn’t the production team have spare costumes?]

[It must be Xie Yu’s carelessness. Each trainee has a custom-made costume, especially the center. How could the production team have a spare just for him?] 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠

[Why did only his costume go missing? What about Lu Yan? Is Xie Yu special?]

Fans of both sides were locked in heated debates, each coveting the coveted debut spots.

The auditorium was buzzing, and some emotionally charged fans even stood up.

It was now 2 in the afternoon, the stage lit up, the curtain fell, and the trainees took their places one by one.

As expected, the center was not Xie Yu but Lu Yan.

[Actually, Lu Yan is pretty good too. If Xie Yu doesn’t value this opportunity, I’ll just be a fan of Lu Yan.]

[Xie Yu is too laid-back. He might be talented, but he doesn’t give his fans a sense of achievement.]

[Exactly. I don’t know why Xie Yu’s fans like him; probably just for his looks. He doesn’t even seem interested in competing for the center position.]

As the music began to play, it drowned out the voices of the fans.

Suddenly, a drumbeat resonated.

“Boom!”

At that very moment, a spotlight dramatically lit up, but not where Lu Yan stood at the center. Instead, it illuminated another position.

There stood a tall and upright figure, gradually appearing before everyone’s eyes as he ascended on the platform..
