Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 923 - 436: Stunning Debut (Part 2)

The director doesn’t have more say than the producer, so he couldn’t argue and said nothing.

Shen You’an led the first verse, and as soon as she opened her mouth, that clear and pure voice stunned everyone.

Xu Jiang couldn’t help but marvel; this girl was born to be a star. That calm and steady stage presence was far too outstanding among her peers.

The second verse was led by Gu Bichen, but his vocal quality was just average. With Shen You’an’s brilliance before him, Gu Bichen’s lead was overshadowed.

Xu Jiang suddenly thought, "Didn’t the program group also invite Rong Xianning? Why not have Rong Xianning and Shen You’an lead? The show’s first episode would surely explode."

Gu Rui, however, thought Shen You’an’s fame was too overwhelming, completely overshadowing Gu Bichen, which wasn’t good.

"How about replacing Shen You’an with this girl?"

Gu Rui pointed at Jiang Yumo standing in the second row.

Jiang Yumo’s image was also outstanding.

Xu Jiang was quite speechless: "Mr. Gu, this isn’t suitable..."

When you have the best, why settle for second best?

Gu Rui explained, "I suddenly thought Shen You’an is currently entangled in negative news, and our program targets nationwide youth. In her current situation, she’s not suitable to be in the spotlight."

Gu Rui said emphatically, "Just do as I say."

Shen You’an didn’t mind being replaced, but Jiang Yumo firmly disagreed.

Shen You’an’s voice had just amazed everyone, and she didn’t have that vocal quality. Such a comparison would only humiliate herself.

When the broadcast came out, she’d be targeted by Shen You’an’s fans, a loss with no gain.

Gu Bichen frowned and approached Gu Rui.

"Why replace Shen You’an?"

Gu Rui’s demeanor showed subtle respect: "Don’t you think she was too much in the spotlight? By then, no one will see you, young master, I’m doing this for your sake."

Gu Bichen gave him a deep look, "Do you see me as such a petty person?"

Gu Rui suddenly realized he might have done something wrong with good intentions.

"The young master’s meaning is..."

"If you replace Shen You’an, then replace me first."

Gu Rui was stunned, but he quickly understood, "I understand the young master’s meaning."

Gu Bichen warned him, "Stop making decisions on your own."

The choir recording finished just at noon, and the program group ordered boxed meals for everyone with two meats and two vegetables, which were quite nice.

During the meal, Yan Lu and Gao Yuyue sat on either side of Shen You’an like protective guardians, blocking probing eyes around.

While eating, Yan Lu swiped her phone and suddenly got excited about something she saw.

"An’an, guess what I saw?"

Shen You’an frowned, "What?"

Yan Lu lowered her voice in excitement, "Rong Xianning is coming to the show."

Shen You’an and Gao Yuyue were both stunned, Gao Yuyue asked, "Where did you get this news?"

"Someone in the fan group encountered him, Rong Xianning just entered the TV station building, he will join as a surprise guest."

Shen You’an’s concern wasn’t whether Rong Xianning would come, "Sasaeng fan?"

Otherwise, how could they know Rong Xianning’s schedule so well? Sasaeng fans are despised no matter the fan circle.

Yan Lu felt a little guilty, "I don’t know, maybe it’s just a coincidence."

Shen You’an reached out, Yan Lu hesitated but obediently handed over her phone.

Shen You’an opened the fan group and, oh dear, it was practically a nest of sasaeng fans.

Yan Lu quickly explained, "I just joined, thinking it was an anti-black group. Who would’ve thought they’d sell Rong Xianning’s schedule inside? Had I known, I wouldn’t have joined..."

Her voice grew quieter as she spoke.

Shen You’an clicked a link to report the group, then returned the phone to Yan Lu.

"Sasaeng fans are potentially illegal, make sure to stay away in the future."

Yan Lu obediently said "Oh."

Shen You’an said helplessly, "I’ll give you Rong Xianning’s autograph photo as compensation, alright?"

Yan Lu pushed further, "Autograph photos don’t satisfy me anymore, I want a photo together."

Shen You’an, "Consider it done."

Gao Yuyue said, "The news about Rong Xianning coming is kept tightly under wraps by the program group, not a single leak."

She gave Shen You’an a teasing look, "You two are together again, isn’t this more than coincidence?"

Yan Lu counted on her fingers, "Rong Xianning’s birthday party drew you, you two recorded a travel variety show together, and now you’re on the same intellectual program. That’s quite the fate."

Yan Lu thought privately she couldn’t be swayed; she’s a Six God CP fan, Rong Xianning is just a younger brother.

Shen You’an said calmly, "You forget, Rong Xianning was this year’s top in the high school entrance exam, has such high traffic, it’s normal for the program group to invite him. Can your brains function normally and stop thinking about this nonsense?"
