How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 114 Gambling Again
The second day of the "Super Trainee" auditions.

Zhang Wen stayed in the lounge obediently and did not disappear like he did yesterday afternoon.

But he was not idle either. He fought his way up from Star Glory to King in the whole morning. Zhang Jiajia and others kept calling him "teacher is great", while Gu Chunyan curled her lips and snorted coldly, saying that he was wasting his time playing with things.

Zhang Wen didn't care about it, it didn't affect his smooth little combo at all. As the saying goes: If you hear the toad croaking, why not cross the river?
He won't let other people's words affect his life.

I am the master of my life!
After lunch, Zhang Wen, who was addicted to games in the morning, stood alone by the window, looking at the gymnasium not far away.

Judging from the time, it should be Tianxi Media’s turn soon.

as predicted.

A few minutes later, an announcement was made outside.

"Notice, notice, all trainees from seats 41 to 50, please gather behind the stage..."

The notification loops and reaches every room.

The originally quiet corridor suddenly became noisy, with the sounds of doors being pushed open and footsteps being heard continuously.

"It's your turn, let's go." Zhao Lan looked at the 10 trainees in the room and said with a smile, "I wish you all exceptional performance and success in the selection round."

Swish swish!
The trainees stood up one after another and looked at their teachers, waiting for the final instructions.

Gu Chunyan looked at the four trainees in front of her, changing her usual stern attitude and saying kindly, "Don't be nervous, you are already very good, just perform normally."

At this point, she deliberately glanced to the side and continued, "This time, the production team will treat all trainees equally, and the judging panel will not favor any one side, so you can feel free to boldly showcase your talents without being treated unfairly."

"Understood!" the four trainees said in unison.

However, on the other side, Zhang Jiajia, Chen Silu, Zhao Tong, Su Yun and Cheng Sisi frowned slightly, with frosty expressions on their faces.

They are not stupid. What Teacher Gu said just now meant to imply that they were able to win the competition some time ago because of Director Xu's favoritism, right?
They originally respected Teacher Gu very much. Even though they knew that Teacher Gu and Teacher Zhang had a bad relationship, they never thought that Teacher Gu was a bad person.

But after hearing what Teacher Gu said just now, I just felt that Teacher Gu couldn't afford to lose.

Losing is losing. Even though you are not as skilled as your opponent, you still have to find excuses. Instead of blaming yourself for not learning enough skills, you blame the bad competition environment. This level of shamelessness is really eye-catching.

"Clap clap clap!"

Zhang Wen suddenly clapped his hands, awakening Zhang Jiajia and others from their negative emotions.

"Girls, the internal company competition is just playing house, just messing around with them, but today is different. You're going to participate in a reality show audition that will determine your future. So, don't hide it, it's time to show your true abilities, do you hear me?"

"I heard it!" Zhang Jiajia and others said loudly, or "shout" would be a more appropriate description.

Even the dissatisfaction and depression from before disappeared without a trace at this moment, and instead, the whole body was filled with strength, as if it had just been fully charged.

When it comes to improving your mindset, Teacher Zhang is a professional!

Gu Chunyan's body trembled slightly, her eyes full of anger.

Just playing around? Show your true abilities?
She spoke as if she hadn't shown her true abilities in the last competition. She simply didn't take them seriously and was blatantly insulting them.

Cao Qing's face was not looking good either, because in the last internal company competition, she was on Teacher Gu's team, and in the end she lost to Zhang Jiajia.

According to what Teacher Zhang said just now, Zhang Jiajia defeated her just by playing around, so doesn't that make her look very bad?
Zhang Wen ignored the others and looked at his students and asked, "Do you remember what we told you last night?"

"Remember!" Zhang Jiajia and others replied.

Gu Chunyan looked at Cao Qing in confusion, and Cao Qing blinked blankly.

What explanation?
Did you tell everyone to rest early and recharge their batteries after leaving here last night?

"Yeah!" Zhang Wen nodded with satisfaction, "Go!"

Zhang Jiajia and others walked out of the room confidently with their number plates in hand. Cao Qing, who was still standing there, only reacted at this time and hurriedly followed them.

Gu Chunyan watched her students leave, then glanced at the young man opposite her, muttered "mystifying" under her breath, and sat back in her chair.

Zhang Wen returned to the window and looked at the backs of Zhang Jiajia and others until his view was blocked by a big tree, then he looked towards the gymnasium.

He was not nervous.

Firstly, the final results of the auditions will be announced the day after tomorrow, so it's a bit early to get nervous now; secondly, he has seen the skill panels of most of the trainees, so he is very confident in Zhang Jiajia and others; thirdly, he has already figured out the preferences of the five audition judges and has made suggestions for Zhang Jiajia and others on talent shows. He believes that the girls can seize this opportunity.

……

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

There was a sudden knock on the door outside the lounge.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Zhang Wen turned his head and saw Zhang Jiajia pushing the door and walking in from outside.

"Teacher, I'm back!" There was a hint of excitement in Zhang Jiajia's words.

Zhao Lan immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "How was your performance? Are you satisfied with yourself?"

As the team leader, she pays close attention to the performance of each trainee and truly treats them equally. After all, the more trainees who pass the selection competition, the more outstanding her team leadership results will be, and she can speak with confidence when she reports to her superiors.

Zhang Jiajia wanted to say he was very satisfied, but he didn't know how the other trainees performed. To avoid being embarrassed, he said, "It was a normal performance, not bad. As for whether it can pass, it depends on the judges' opinions."

Zhao Lan froze in place, not hearing the answer she was looking for. Even her smile froze on her face. A normal performance?

I know what your normal level is?
But seeing that the other person's expression was not as confident as when he left, she felt a little unsure.

Before the door could be closed, another trainee returned to the lounge. It was Chen Silu.

Zhao Lan quickly changed to another person and asked expectantly, "Lulu, how is it?"

Chen Silu shook her head. "I don't know. They asked me to come back after the song. No one announced the results, and no one told me whether I passed the auditions or not."

"..."

Zhao Lan's uneasiness grew stronger.

Although she knew that the results would be announced the day after tomorrow, this girl looked just like Jia Jia just now, lacking confidence!

Next were Zhao Tong, Su Jin and Cheng Sisi. Although they did not come back together, their answers seemed to have been discussed beforehand. When asked the first time, they said it was okay, but when asked again, they said they didn't know.

When Cao Qing came back, Zhao Lan saw the confidence on the girl's face, so she couldn't help asking, "How are you, Qingqing? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, that's good." Cao Qing nodded with a smile.

After seeing this, Zhao Lan breathed a sigh of relief and thought: Finally, there is someone who performed well.

A few minutes later, Ding Xinyi also returned to the practice room.

This time, before Zhao Lan could ask, Gu Chunyan asked first: "Xinyi..."

"Teacher, I performed very well today. Two judges even smiled at me." Ding Xinyi said happily.

"This shows that your performance has been recognized by the judges!" Gu Chunyan finally smiled, and she was very proud of it. Then she glanced at the side, put her arm around Ding Xinyi's shoulders and said, "Think about it, if you perform hard but the judges don't react at all, do you think they like it or not?"

Ding Xinyi understood what Teacher Gu meant, turned her head to look at Teacher Zhang, and said, "Of course I don't like it."

"Smart!" Gu Chunyan gave a thumbs up.

Ding Xinyi looked delighted when she heard the compliment.

Not long after, the remaining three trainees returned to the lounge one after another, and they were all very satisfied with their performance.

Gu Chunyan was so happy when she heard this that the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears.

"Hey, can't you guys be a little more humble? You guys are performing so well, what do those who didn't perform so well think?"

Zhao Lan and the two assistants looked cautiously in the direction of Teacher Zhang. Teacher Zhang was indeed very quiet in the afternoon, so quiet that it was a little abnormal.

"Teacher, actually we are just performing normally." Ding Xinyi said with a smile.

"Yes, we played normally. Those who didn't perform well may not be suitable for big occasions."

"Teacher, didn't you tell me that being able to sing and dance privately is useless? You also need to have a strong mental state. Otherwise, no matter how good you are at singing and dancing, if you tremble on stage, you will still be eliminated."

The other trainees echoed.

Gu Chunyan felt relieved after hearing this and said loudly, "Yes, some people just can't stand up to the public."

Zhang Jiajia and others were so angry that their faces turned red, but when they remembered what the teacher said, that they should keep a low profile before the results came out, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

"Teacher Gu!" Zhang Wen suddenly spoke.

"What's the matter?" Gu Chunyan looked over proudly, her mood written all over her face.

"Why don't we make a bet?"

"A bet? What bet?"

Gu Chunyan was delighted. She had wanted to make a bet with the other party yesterday, but unfortunately the other party did not take the bait. Now that the other party brought up the bet again, of course she was willing.

"I remember the director said that the list will be arranged according to scores. Let's bet on whose student ranks higher. How about that?" Zhang Wen said.

"Okay, whoever loses will go to work next week with the label of 'good-for-nothing', how about that? By the way, Cao Qing's results will be counted in my group. I was the one who recommended her at the time. You haven't forgotten, right?" Gu Chunyan asked.

To her, winning money and food is meaningless. She just wants to expose this person's true face and let everyone in the company know that this person is a good-for-nothing.

And Cao Qing is the trainee she values most.

"Okay." Zhang Wen agreed immediately.

Gu Chunyan was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, so she pulled Zhao Lan aside and said, "Manager Zhao, you heard what I just said, so you can be a witness."

Zhao Lan didn't want to get involved, after all, it was the training department's business, but Gu Chunyan kept pulling her, so she could only agree reluctantly.

Gu Chunyan couldn't stop smiling.

In her opinion, the other party's bet was just a desperate move.

This time, she wanted to let the other person experience the feeling of being dominated.
