At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

This means that her artwork is inexpensive yet of exceptionally high quality, which is why she retains a large number of repeat customers and receives unanimous positive reviews. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to maintain her second-place position in popularity and could easily be overtaken by the third-ranked artist, who commands a higher price but is also more skilled.

Therefore, taking these factors into consideration, Bai Qiao had no intention of hiding anything and decided to be completely honest with her.

"Yes, there are indeed internal channels."

"I knew it... It seems like ordinary people can't be maids at all... They can only be those... those indecent maids."

Tang Tang seems to have some misunderstanding about maids.

"..."

Bai Qiao glanced at her, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but didn't.

She thought to herself, "How can you assume that I, the head maid, am 'proper'?"

But she didn't dwell on it.

Instead of addressing that topic, she continued, "In the maid industry, the simplest way to get a job is through affiliation."

"Affiliation?"

Tang Tang blinked, showing great interest in the topic like a curious child.

"Yes."

Bai Qiao gestured for her to sit on the sofa and relax while they talked. "Once an ordinary person has the idea of ​​becoming a maid, they can contact a formal organization like 'Black and White Hearts' to participate in maid professional training and assessment, and obtain official recognition and support. Of course, this process requires payment of their own money."

"Paid by myself..."

"Well, it's not too expensive, only around a hundred thousand yuan. Then, if you pass, you can officially move into the Black and White Heart base for several years of training and get a certificate."

As for your career path after the training, you can choose to follow the "company's" arrangements and be assigned one-on-one, or you can go out and find customers who need maid services yourself with your credentials.

Of course, the latter depends on luck. I chose the former.

Bai Qiao speaks her mind without any reservations.

Tang Tang listened intently, suddenly realizing that the maid circle was not as simple as she had thought, and that becoming a maid was not something one could just do on a whim.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that Bai Qiao possesses an incredibly alluring figure, far more captivating than herself, despite the significant amount of energy she dedicates to fitness each month (to create perfect female anatomy drawings in front of the mirror)...

Moreover, her facial features are quite good, easily scoring above 8.5. In an environment where the average score is only 5, combined with her figure, this is quite astonishing.

"I understand, then, those maids..."

Tang Tang pointed to the maids in ordinary uniforms nearby, her curiosity piqued.

"Yes, they belong to a different faction. They are temporary dispatched maids, a type of domestic service, and they earn a fixed salary."

"Fixed salary?"

Tang Tang didn't quite understand.

"That's right, the money that maids earn is fixed. But for someone like me... it's different."

Bai Qiao stopped short of making a point, a subtle hint of arrogance flashing in her eyes, which Tang Tang caught perfectly.

"wrong……!"

Tang Tang, being exceptionally intelligent, quickly grasped the meaning in her own way: "Miss Bai Qiao means... that there's no limit to the head maid's salary, that it can go up without any cap, is that right!?"

"Pretty much, after all, the head maid's goal has never been to make money."

Bai Qiao paused approvingly, then summarized in the most easily understood way:

Instead, she becomes the "mistress of the house."

……

……

Chapter 250 Technology is not about beauty or ugliness, but you can't be truly ugly.

Su Che didn't know who the guest who came to visit her home was, nor did she know how her conversation with Bai Qiao had gone.

Right now, he's on stage with his teammates, having just finished recording the first stage of the preliminary rounds.

At this moment, all six members of the group were fully equipped and dressed in white chocolate-designed stage outfits, waiting for the results to be announced under the watchful eyes of the judges and all the cameras.

"The competition uses F to SSS for judges to score. The evaluation criteria are divided into five levels: live performance, performance technique, orchestra image, teamwork, and originality. A total score is obtained after comprehensive evaluation. A score above A is passing, S is excellent, SS is outstanding, and SSS is flawless."

"clear."

"The score for the first round, first match of the Seven Colors tournament is—"

The host turned his attention to the judges' panel.

The next moment, all five judges raised their number plates—

Su Che narrowed his eyes, and could vaguely see that it was an A+.

"..."

Ta-da!

【broken.】

[They clearly gave it their all, but they only got a passing grade?]

Su Che frowned deeply, wondering what the reason was for this score.

Logically speaking, I had also paid attention to the performances of the other teammates on stage. Yu Xi's performance was almost perfect, Xiao Xiao's was incredibly steady, Gu Zhi's was smooth as silk, and Yuan Xiao got all the answers right, which was quite rare...

As for An Qing, her pitch, rhythm, and stage presence were all on point. Although she was nervous, it didn't affect the overall performance.

How come you only got an A+ after all this?

So what level do you need to reach S or SS?

Su Che didn't understand at all.

At this point, the host announced the next segment with a smile—

"We invite the judges to comment on the orchestra and explain the source of the scores."

"Ok."

On the judges' platform, an older man with black-rimmed glasses and a wrinkled face took the microphone and spoke first to the people on stage:

"Seven colors, right? My personal score for your team is S for effect, A for technique, SS for image, A+ for teamwork, but D for originality. I believe the other judges' scores are not much different from mine."

Su Che: "!"

"I know you're probably wondering why your performances, which seemed perfect, didn't get you high scores. It's actually quite simple. The second edition of the Mosse Cup is officially called the 'Mosse-affiliated Star Orchestra Agent Competition.'"

This means that the selected team must have the ability to stand alone.

Here, "originality" becomes a crucial factor.

The man adjusted his glasses and said in a serious tone, "The so-called level of originality includes both 'original creation' and 'adaptation ability.' Undoubtedly, the former has the highest weight in the score."

Your choice of song for the qualifying round was a cover of "Rabbit Hole." While the style of this ACG track does fit our target endorsement team, the adaptation wasn't strong enough; it was almost a direct rendition of the original. Therefore, in this aspect, the score can only be a D.

"..."

Su Che roughly understood.

The judges meant that the most crucial element valued in the Mosse Cup is actually "originality."

For a team, the gap between "playing others' music" and "expressing their own" is catastrophic.

In other words, if a team's members lack original creative abilities and only know how to cover, then such a group is not worthy of endorsing Mosse.

It seems this battle is likely to end badly.

Su Che regretted not discovering such a serious flaw sooner. Looking back at his teammates, he found that they all had serious expressions and were somewhat nervous.

"Alright, as the starting team, your performance was not bad. Now, go back and wait patiently for the results of the advancement."

The bespectacled old man softened his expression and gestured for Su Che and his group to leave.

"Thank you for your review."

Su Che didn't linger. Since things had come to this, it was best to leave the venue and return to the hotel to discuss the matter further.

He and the women left, watched by the second group, "Paradise."

In fact, the entire process was witnessed by "Paradise".

As they were in the waiting group, they were fortunate enough to witness the recording and performance of "Seven Colors".

From the perspective of Orange Cat and the others, Typhoon "Seven Colors" is a perfect score, SSS level.

Because Su Che, An Qing, Yu tide, and others were all too beautiful, and their makeup and styling were top-notch, their own teams barely had any to match.

Technically, it's perfectly adequate; the key is the user experience.

If a team can make the audience feel comfortable, then the audience will be willing to pay a second time to support them with tickets.

They are the same.

"Wow... if 'Seven Colors' only got an A+ for their performance just now... then we..."

At this moment, lead singer Chie looked at her teammates with some unease.

"Relax, don't forget we're classically trained. Technically, we're guaranteed at least an S+, no problem, right?"

"But, however..."

"No buts. As long as we create a technical advantage, everything else should be fine. Haven't you heard? The judges care most about 'originality,' and our song choice is an original. That will give us a huge lead in that area. They only have a D, so we're guaranteed to win."

Captain Orange Cat smiled confidently, encouraging her teammates.

Little did they know, Xiang Xuechuan, who had been following behind like a zombie the whole time, kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the gate, lost in the image of the departing figure.

"Next team, 'Paradise'!"

The host's announcement began.

Soon, under pressure, the girls went on stage for their final performance.

……

Su Che waited anxiously for the news.
