Chapter 4
Dilireba's Stirrings

“To be honest, I’m a little disappointed.” Wang Jia Er couldn’t help but say after watching the first group of trainees’ performance.

“Indeed.” Not just Wang Jia Er, even Cheng Xiao said she was disappointed.

When the scores were announced, everyone fell silent.

Because no one knew that the scoring for this show would be so strict.

It didn’t give any leeway, directly giving out D and F, not even a C.

This result was something no one had expected;

Even the people on stage hadn’t expected it to be so strict.

On the contrary, Cao Gong felt this was normal.

If they weren’t strict with you, you wouldn’t know your own limitations.

If they weren’t strict with you, it would mean they weren’t taking responsibility for you.

Finally, amidst all the discussion, the trainees who had been on stage all left.

After the second group, a trainee was asked what kind of singer they wanted to be before their performance.

Two trainees said they wanted to be rap singers.

Remember, this phrase would be the one Zhang Yi Xing heard the most from now on.

I want to be a rap singer, I like rap.

“I like rap, I want to be a rap singer.”

“I like hip-hop, I like rap, I want to be a rap singer.”

Several of the following groups had someone mention this.

Zhang Yi Xing was almost allergic to the word “rap” at this point.

But as a mentor, he still held back and didn’t say anything.

“It’s still the same problem, the balance is not good enough.”

“Yes, the balance is still not good enough, it could be better.”

“Balance, balance…” the word that Zhang Yi Xing said the most when giving his comments.

Even Di Li Reba, who was sitting in the middle, was amused by the word that Zhang Yi Xing said so many times.

“This isn’t working, this won’t work, there’s not even a single A.”

Seeing this situation, Di Li Reba felt a little headache.

Looking at the list of trainees, she finally focused on the name “Cao Zei.”

“Should we call him up?” Di Li Reba asked Cheng Xiao next to her uncertainly.

“Ha, you’ve been wanting to call him up, haven’t you?” Not just Cheng Xiao, even Li Rong Hao, who has small eyes, could tell.

“Yes, I’m just wondering if he’ll disappoint us.” Di Li Reba was curious about this Cao Zei.

“Well, how about we call him up then?” Cheng Xiao, who was sitting beside her, was also unsure.

“No, no, no, I feel a bit scared, after all, he went to sleep as soon as he came here.”

Wang Jia Er immediately shook his head and said, “I feel a bit uncertain, we can’t go wild at this time.”

“So many groups of trainees have performed before, and none of them got an A, we need an A now to set the tone.”

“What if this unique trainee doesn’t make it, what then?”

Wang Jia Er’s worries were not unreasonable.

Zhang Yi Xing and Ou Yang Jin also expressed their understanding.

Because the situation was too sensitive, so they didn’t dare to go wild.

“Then him?” Zhang Yi Xing suggested Cai Xu Kun, seeing what everyone thought.

“Cai Xu Kun, get ready.” Di Li Reba looked at the list and then called out Cai Xu Kun’s name.

Cai Xu Kun, dressed in a sexy outfit, got up from his seat.

Cao Gong, on the other hand, looked at this man who would attract a lot of negative comments for Zhang Yi Xing, Lu Han, and the others in the next few years.

If Cai Xu Kun hadn’t debuted, many people would still be bashing Lu Han and Zhang Yi Xing, those trainees who came back from South Korea, for being effeminate; the fact that Lu Han and Zhang Yi Xing are now praised is entirely Cai Xu Kun’s credit.

If Cai Xu Kun hadn’t debuted, there really wouldn’t have been a way for Lu Han and Zhang Yi Xing’s reputation to turn around.

Seeing the legendary Kun Kun, Cao Gong felt very strange.

Cai Xu Kun must have been around 18 years old, right?

At 18 years old, he was already dressed so flamboyantly, what would he be like when he turned 20?

But then again, if he wasn’t flamboyant, he wouldn’t be “You’re too beautiful.”

After Kun Kun got on stage, he boldly displayed a man’s feminine beauty, good, very graceful.

The trainees in the audience saw this and all exclaimed how sexy, they would even be willing to be bent for him.

Only Cao Gong was bored and absentminded, not interested in Kun Kun’s performance at all.

He was chewing gum and leisurely listening to his own songs.

After Cai Xu Kun finished his performance, the mentors started their critiques.

The result of the critique was an A.

It was the first A of the night.

“Lehua Seven, get ready, Cao, Cao Zei? Get ready.”

“Haha~” Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the name.

Cao Gong, who was called out, got up from his seat.

When he went to the back to prepare, the Lehua Seven were all curious about Cao Zei.

“Bro, what’s up with your name?” Fan Cheng Cheng took the initiative to greet him and ask about his name.

“Oh, it’s nothing, the mentors will ask later, I’ll explain then.”

“Otherwise, if I tell you now, I’ll have to say it again later.”

It could be heard that Cao Gong had no ill intentions, so the others didn’t ask anymore.

After Lehua Seven’s performance, Cheng Xiao was also looking forward to it.

“They’re from our company.” Cheng Xiao smiled and explained to Di Li Reba and the others.

“Oh, they’re from your company?” After knowing this, Di Li Reba was slightly surprised.

“Yes, let’s see how they perform.” Cheng Xiao motioned for them to watch the performance.

Lehua Seven’s attire was very uniform and formal, it was clearly the standard for a boy group.

However, this wasn’t strange, Lehua itself had a partnership with a South Korean company.

The trainees they cultivate are still very good.

There are Lehua trainees sitting among the mentors.

But Lehua Seven’s performance, even though they were all very hard-working, there were still some people who weren’t ready.

Cao Gong, who was preparing backstage, saw the performance and began to prepare himself as well.

But Zhang Yi Xing, who was on stage, lost his temper.

“Tsk.” Zhang Yi Xing stood up and sighed, “It’s just, everyone who comes up says they want to be a rap singer, I don’t understand this.”

“If you all want to be rap singers, 271 has a rap show, you can go and participate in that, if you really all want to be rap singers, you can go and participate in that show.”

The whole scene was dead silent.

No one expected Zhang Yi Xing to suddenly say this, and this was clearly a scolding.

The trainees were already under a lot of pressure because the evaluation was so strict.

But Zhang Yi Xing’s sudden outburst at this time made the trainees who couldn’t handle the pressure tremble with fear.

“I don’t quite understand this point, it’s just that I understand that you like rap.”

“But the prerequisite for rap, the prerequisite for you to be a singer is that you can sing well first, right?”
