Lu Shanshan lay on the bed, excitedly talking on the phone with Tan Yi: "Yi Yi, do you know what? Those people who spread rumors about Jiang Zhiyu have been sued! It was so fast, I'm so happy!"

"Really? Let me check the trending topics."

"Hmm, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't been able to get you to go out with me."

"I'm going to watch ZPL's first match of the new season in a few days. I've been working overtime lately to catch up on my work, and I'm exhausted." Tan Yi collapsed wearily on the sofa and opened social media to search for keywords.

"Okay... do you want me to come with you? I'm free these few days."

"That's great. You never went when I asked you to before." She rested her chin on the cushion and clicked on the text image with the official seal. "Damn it, it's that bastard TuTu DaWang again. He's a well-known River hater. He was warned by RXG's lawyer's letter before. Now he's in the entertainment industry and he's getting another one. He deserves it."

"Turns out he's a repeat offender with a long history of bad behavior, I hate him so much." Lu Shanshan said angrily, and continued, "I did the math, the first public performance had just ended then, there definitely wouldn't be a live stream, and I had nothing else to do anyway, so I just kept you company."

"Hmm...wait, Huanyu?"

"What's wrong?"

"I remember Huanyu is Qiyuan International's go-to law firm, how come they've taken on part-time work?"

"Qi Yuan? Is this the Qi Yuan I know?"

"Yeah, why is business in the financial industry so bad lately? Huanyu is even expanding into the entertainment industry."

"That's hilarious. I don't know, but any law firm that can help my son sue someone is a good law firm."

The suffocating three-day countdown is over, and today is the mentor's mini-test before the first public performance.

In order to leave enough highlights for the official performance and sell more tickets, the preliminary tests and rehearsals will be conducted without live streaming. The live stream footage for these two days will only focus on the backstage and waiting areas.

Jiang Zhiyu and his seven colleagues sat behind a sign that read "The Unopened Letter, Group A," and the air in the entire studio was thick with tension.

"I'm so nervous." Yao Wei squatted down beside Jiang Zhiyu, his eyes darting around uncontrollably.

Yu Wen nodded silently, his gaze unfocused, trying his best to keep his mind from wandering.

The team that comes in first place in the mentor's mini-test will receive a bonus of ten votes for each member in the official performance vote.

Ten votes may not seem like much, but with only 500 audience members voting live, they are enough to influence the individual rankings of mid-to-lower-tier contestants in the first round, and they also play a crucial role in the group vote rankings.

"Don't be nervous," Jiang Zhiyu reassured in a low voice, "Just treat it as if we're in our own training room, and go through the whole stage routine."

Don't say Yao Wei was nervous; I was nervous for them too.

This group had a really tough time; they had a whole day less practice time than the other groups. Let's lower the bar.

[But they progressed really fast; those who followed their training sessions witnessed the rapid development of their stage.]

[After all, Jiang Zhiyu sacrificed his main center position to achieve this...]

Sitting next to them was Team B of "Detonation Orders," whose captain was Wang Yan.

Since the end of the duo interview, Jiang Zhiyu has rarely had the opportunity to see Wang Yan again. On the few occasions they did meet, the other party was unusually silent.

Wang Yan has been very focused lately. He attaches great importance to the first performance and is eager to deliver a perfect performance. Unfortunately, due to his personality, he still can't handle the so-called "teammate relationship".

The whispered conversation next to them caught the attention of the group from "Unbelievable A".

"I told you before, that part was best for me to perform. Now that you've performed it like this, if we fail the quiz, it'll all be your fault."

"Can you say less? Isn't it fair competition when you're vying for a part? Who can you blame if you lose?"

The tension between his teammates didn't affect Wang Yan at all. He calmly watched the assessment order being displayed on the big screen, ignoring the argument.

Wang Yan glanced back and was caught off guard when his eyes met Jiang Zhiyu's. For some reason, the other man's calm gaze suddenly burned him. He turned his head sharply and straightened his back.

His feelings toward Jiang Zhiyu are complicated right now. The private conversation before the two-person interview made him think about it over and over all night afterward.

The joy of being affirmed and his confusion about himself were intertwined, and this complex thought plunged him into deep internal conflict.

He finally came to terms with himself and realized that he was grateful to Jiang Zhiyu because the other party had affirmed his value and helped him when he was most confused.

But at the same time, he also resented Jiang Zhiyu. He felt that the other party was too pure and upright, like a perfect moon hanging high in the sky, while he was just a reflection in a lake, all show and no substance, easily shattered.

Just then, Mi Lan arrived.

He was looking for Jiang Zhiyu. He walked past Wang Yan calmly, as if he were a stranger, without even glancing at him.

Mi Lan walked straight up to Jiang Zhiyu without looking at him and handed him a bottle of mineral water: "The staff said they will come to your dormitory tonight so you can go back early."

"Okay, sure." Jiang Zhiyu nodded and took the water.

Have Mi Lan and Wang Yan not spoken a word to each other lately? Did they break up?

The atmosphere between them is so strange, I don't understand it.

I used to firmly believe that Mi Lan was a bully, but now I feel like she's not that kind of person... I really don't understand.

[No one can understand the struggle between these two people.]

After watching these past few days, Mi Lan and Wang Yan are nothing like the impression I had of them...

Only Jiang Zhiyu, caught in the middle, seemed as honest and simple as a kind old man.

[Honest and simple-minded Shan Yan kkk]

Jiang Zhiyu could also see that the two were on the verge of a complete break, but he had no position to make peace or ask Mi Lan to forgive Wang Yan, because the damage the latter had caused to the former was real and irreversible.

Moreover, he is Mi Lan's friend, and he cannot and will not be magnanimous on Mi Lan's behalf.

"Is Team A of 'The Unopened Letter' here?" A staff member peeked out from behind the door, looking around. "Get ready, you're next."

Yao Weiteng stood up abruptly, stammering, "I'm... here!"

"Go ahead." Mi Lan patted Jiang Zhiyu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I heard that your group created a miracle in three days."

Jiang Zhiyu's lips curled up slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence. He pushed himself up with his left hand on the ground.

"I'm gone."
