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

Chapter 116 Fainted
"Which company is number 43? They actually have 9 of the top 4 positions. Isn't that too strong?"

"I saw it when I registered. It's Tianxi Media."

"Isn't Tianxi Media's main business artist management, film and television production, and music production? When did even the trainees become so talented?"

"Yeah, even Le Xia Entertainment, which made its fortune by training trainees, only had two trainees make it into the top 9 this time."

"..."

After the results of the auditions were announced, the trainees who did not pass were filled with disappointment, but the agents and training teachers present, after a brief disappointment, quickly began to discuss the list of 100 people who passed the auditions.

Especially the top 9 have become the focus of everyone's discussion.

Although it was just a qualifying competition, the result of 9 out of 4 was really terrifying.

You should know that the program team has invited more than 80 entertainment companies, including some powerful ones.

Before receiving the invitation, everyone thought that this would be a very competitive game, with large companies fighting each other and eventually dividing the quota, and small companies surviving in the cracks and waiting for opportunities to pick up leaks. As a result, no one expected that Tianxi Media would be the only one to stand out and become the ultimate winner.

Surprise, curiosity, envy, jealousy, for a moment, all eyes fell on Team No. 43.

As the team leader, Zhao Lan was already beaming with joy at this time. Out of 10 trainees, 8 passed the trials and 4 entered the top 9. If such outstanding results were reported to the higher-ups, wouldn't the performance bonus be doubled?
"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Gu, congratulations!"

Zhao Lan turned around happily, and just as she said that, she saw that Teacher Gu Chunyan, who had been so proud for several days, now had a dark face and an extremely ugly expression, and she did not have any joy at all that her three students had passed the selection.

However, Teacher Zhang Wen, who had been keeping a low profile these days, took off his sunglasses at some point, and the smile on his face was brighter than the sun in the sky.

Seeing such a contrast, she suddenly thought of the bet between Teacher Zhang and Teacher Gu two days ago to see whose student ranked higher. At that time, she was forced by Teacher Gu to be a witness.

Now looking at the expressions of the two teachers, I suddenly understood everything.

The outcome has been decided.

Teacher Gu suffered a crushing defeat!

Sure enough, the more a person shows off, the faster he dies.

"Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu? Why can't you speak? Don't you like talking?" Seeing that Gu Chunyan didn't respond at all, Zhang Wen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Gu Chunyan gritted her teeth, her face turning blue and purple.

It’s not that she didn’t hear or see it, but she simply couldn’t accept this reality.

how could be?

how can that be possible?
Back when she monopolized all the resources and went with the team to participate in the talent show, she didn't have such good results.

Simply perverted!
Aren't all the major entertainment companies paying much attention to this show? Aren't the best trainees from all over the country participating in this show?
But why were they defeated by this man's students in the end?

Gabbers, a bunch of gabbers!
How to do?
Do I really have to go to work next week with the label of "I'm a good-for-nothing"?
Wouldn’t you become the laughing stock of the entire company then?

Her prestige, her reputation, and her... everything!
"Teacher Gu, you are not pretending to have amnesia, are you? I think it would be better for you to pretend to faint." Zhang Wen said slowly.

Gu Chunyan's expression froze. For a moment, she did think about fainting to cover up everything, but now that the other party said that, this avenue was finally blocked.

Damn!

"No, I'm fine." Gu Chunyan forced herself to cheer up. She knew that if she acted absent-minded at this time, she would be laughed at.

"Then I'm relieved." Zhang Wen sighed, then a smile spread across his face. "I wonder if Teacher Gu still remembers our bet?"

"Remember, remember!" Gu Chunyan said through gritted teeth, her cheeks bulging because she used too much force.

"Just remember, I'll be waiting for Teacher Gu in the company lobby next Monday."

"..."

After hearing this, Gu Chunyan almost vomited blood.

How can this be called waiting?
It was obvious that he was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Maybe they would call everyone in the company and make her die in the hall as soon as she entered the door.

No, this must not be allowed to happen. I must find a way, otherwise my reputation will be ruined on Monday.

"Now, all the trainees on the stage, please return to your teams. We will contact your company regarding follow-up matters..."

The director's voice sounded at this time, and the trainees who passed the audition walked down from the stage one after another.

"Teacher, we are back." Zhao Tong ran back quickly with an expression of excitement and joy on his face.

Being able to win first place in the trials was beyond her expectations. Although it was not the main competition, this result was enough for her to brag about for a month.

Su Jin, who was standing behind him, said with a bitter face, "I'm sorry, teacher, I disappointed you. I only ranked 16th and didn't make it into the top 9."

Zhang Wen quickly waved his hands after hearing this. "I'm not disappointed. It's just a tryout. Just pass it. Besides, your strength is composition. In the upcoming training and competitions, as long as you can demonstrate your talent in this area and impress the mentors and judges, you'll have a chance to become a member of the nine-member group." Su Jin nodded and said seriously, "Teacher, I will do my best."

Zhang Wen smiled, and after encouraging one person, he turned to look at the other four.

"Although you made it into the top nine, this is just the beginning, not the final result of the show. So, just be proud for a few days, but don't get too carried away. Remember, there are 9 trainees waiting behind you, eager to compete. If you're even slightly careless, you could be overtaken by those behind you, which would be even more embarrassing. Do you understand?"

"Understood." The four trainees said in unison, their faces no longer showing the excitement they had before, but with a bit more caution.

"Especially you!" Zhang Wen looked at Zhao Tong and said, "In this audition, the talents everyone showcased were mostly singing and dancing. Singing is your strong point, so I'm not surprised you took first place. However, in the finals, there will be a lot of assessments. If you want to maintain your current ranking, you'll have to work harder than everyone else and improve in every aspect. Otherwise, you'll be everyone's target."

Zhao Tong broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, especially after noticing the looks from other teams, he suddenly felt a huge pressure.

It turns out that coming first in the selection competition is not a source of pride, but a source of pressure.

She now regrets why she performed so well in the trials. If she had known this would happen, she would have let it go and gotten at least second place.

Unlike now, not only am I regarded as an enemy by everyone, but I don’t even have room for improvement. Alas!
The other three trainees in the team who passed the selection competition were originally very happy, but now they saw the first place winner being scolded, and the smiles on their faces immediately disappeared.

Cao Qing looked at Teacher Zhang, then at Teacher Gu. All kinds of emotions intertwined together, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

why?
Why is it that Teacher Gu, whose teaching level is so high, has only three trainees passing the selection, including her, while Teacher Zhang, who doesn't teach any professional courses and only teaches meditation, has all his trainees passing the selection and ranking very high?

Don't understand, don't comprehend, don't know.

Is it because I didn’t study seriously and failed to master the secrets of meditation that I feel meditation classes are useless?
At this moment, her inner faith was shaken.

Internal competitions can be said to have insider information, but what about external competitions? You can't say there are insider information, right?
She couldn't help but recall the day of the tryouts. When the team leader asked about their performance, Zhao Tong and others answered that they performed normally, but she and Teacher Gu's students all said that they performed very well. Now she just felt her face burning and embarrassed.

No wonder Teacher Gu’s face looked so ugly. He must have remembered the scene of that day. Oh, and the bet!
She looked at Teacher Gu with complicated eyes. Was Teacher Gu really not as good as Teacher Zhang? Was it her preconceived ideas that were causing trouble?
"Teacher Gu, congratulations!"

At this time, a training teacher from another company came over, looked at Gu Chunyan and complimented her, "You are indeed a veteran in the industry. Eight trainees passed the auditions, and four made it into the top nine. Looking at more than 8 entertainment companies across the country, only you can do this. Amazing!"

Gu Chunyan shuddered all over. Her face, which was already bad, became even gloomier.

Even the students standing behind him looked embarrassed at this moment, without any joy on their faces.

Outsiders don't know the situation of Tianxi Media, but they know it very well in their hearts. Is this achievement due to Teacher Gu? No, it is due to Teacher Zhang.

Among the trainees in Teacher Zhang's group, the worst performer scored higher than the best performer in their group.

"No, nothing." Gu Chunyan knew she couldn't panic, so she forced a smile and said, "Actually, this isn't just my credit. It's mainly the credit of other teachers."

"Teacher Gu, you are too modest. Everyone knows that you are Tianxi Media's top training teacher."

"Yes!"

Several more training teachers came over and surrounded Gu Chunyan.

"Not only is Tianxi Media the biggest winner this time, but even Teacher Gu has become famous."

"Teacher Gu, could you teach us colleagues how to train excellent trainees? Tuition is not a problem."

"Yes, teach us."

"..."

The more her colleagues talked, the uglier Gu Chunyan's face became, because she knew that these words of praise did not belong to her, but to the person she had never looked down upon.

This is tantamount to a slap in the face.

The key point is not that he was beaten by the man surnamed Zhang, but that he was beaten by other people.

Beaten.

Her self-esteem and sense of superiority were shattered at this moment.

Suddenly, she felt the blood rushing up, her head swollen, her heartbeat accelerated, then her eyes went black, and her body fell backwards involuntarily.

I heard screams coming from my ears.

"Teacher Gu? Teacher Gu!"

"Teacher Gu fainted!"

"Fight 120!"

"..."
