Rebirth from the Ashes

461-462

Chapter 461: Feel Bad for Your Vocals

Although He Lu was displeased and envious to see Song Wenye occupy the No. 1 seat, she was not worried about it. Her ego led her to believe that nobody even came close to be deemed her competition. Ultimately, He Lu was going to make her debut then and there.

The lineup of contestants was decided by draw lots since it was the fairest method. Song Wenye was in luck as she was the second to make an appearance.

The luckiest was Ye Weiyang who drew a seat just before Song Wenye.

Initially, Song Wenye wanted Ye Weiyang to take the throne.

As a newcomer, the biggest event Ye Weiyang had ever participated in was her school festival. Sure, she knew how to dance and sing a little, but it was still a far cry from the others.

Ye Weiyang had got the competition rules down pat before coming here. She was not brave enough to speak her mind, afraid to step on anyone’s toes, much less occupy the throne.

Nevertheless, Song Wenye dragged her to sit on the No. 2 spot. Ye Weiyang looked around on pins and needles.

The remaining girls from Cosmos Entertainment did not play the reserved card as they sought the forefront seats following their turns to walk into the set. Apart from Tong Kejun and Guan Rou who were unlucky at the draw lots to appear late on the set, the rest picked the top twenty seats.

The trainees had more or less heard about Song Wenye’s arrogance after spending a week together. For her to sit on the No. 1 seat, they might be scornful and green with envy, but there was no denying Song Wenye was blessed with good luck to be one of the first to get out there.

Song Wenye was not without talent. Otherwise, she would not be able to steal the spotlight from the rest of the trainees, albeit Su Ruowan and He Lu were on a level with her in terms of overall strength.

Ye Weiyang who arrived in the morning was a different story as she was the reason they were all delayed for a whole week. Many were already feeling bitter about it, but to see her take the second seat was just stirring up a hornet’s nest. Oh, the audacity.

That was where the runner-up should be sitting. They were at a loss whether to call her young and fearless or a conceited moron.

By now, many were waiting for Ye Weiyang to make a fool of herself.

That was not the way He Lu and Su Ruowan saw it. They had such a good look that it was Song Wenye who dragged Ye Weiyang to sit there. In their opinion, Ye Weiyang was only a pawn to Song Wenye.

The goody-two-shoes fatty had no clue she was being used to take a bullet. He Lu and Su Ruowan would not waste any pity on an idiot.

Since the mentors had gotten to know the trainees in the past week, they had an idea and kept in mind their talent and potential.

While the seat-picking process was going on, the mentors engaged themselves, having a light-hearted and pleasant chat. With everyone from the world of entertainment, they knew each other and could hold conversations with ease even if they were not close.

Of course, Shen Xi was the exception. As for the only mystery member who came out of the blue, the other mentors had nothing to say to someone sent by the investor. Hence, they gave Shen Xi the cold shoulder.

Xia Mi, on the other hand, found it hard to ignore the mystery mentor. She could not just give Shen Xi the snub like the rest of them since this person was sitting next to her after all.

Truth be told, Xia Mi was not interested in the mystery mentor. She was sure they had nothing in common to talk about.

Off the record, the mentors could not find any information about a coach named Yun Xiao in Country H. Needless to say, this guy must be sent by the investor to keep an eye on them. No one counted on him to provide any professional critique.
