They don't actually think I like them, do they?

"No!!!!" The boy sighed to the sky.

......

With the conclusion of the first round of the preliminary professional group competition, and after the judges' tense scoring process, the scores of each contestant were released.

The scores and rankings of all 36 contestants were displayed on the large screen in the auditorium.

The scoring criteria are based on five main aspects: accuracy, fluency, completeness, vividness, and difficulty.

The grades are divided into five levels.

Grade A: Aa grade 95-100 points, Ab grade 90-94 points.

Grade B: Ba grade 85-89 points, Bb grade 80-84 points.

The same applies to C, D, E, and so on.

Performing a piece flawlessly only guarantees a minimum grade of D. The higher the grade, the greater the demands on technique and musical understanding.

Since the competition brought together the most elite cellists in the country, and the preliminary rounds had no restrictions on themes, the cellists played pieces they were most proficient in.

Therefore, apart from 7 contestants who underperformed due to nervousness and only received a "B" rating, the rest all entered the A category.

The cruelest thing about the Longqin Cup is that no matter how good your performance is, even if you get an "A grade", you will still be eliminated if you don't make it into the top sixteen.

In Grade A, there are 24 people in the Ab category. There are only 5 people in the Aa category.

Su Ruxue scored 96, which is Aa level, ranking third in the overall ranking.

After the competition, many people gathered around the rankings at the entrance of the Grand Theater to discuss the event.

"Oh my god, the pianist who played 'The Swallow' was eliminated? I thought he was amazing! This competition was truly a battle of the gods!"

"Wen Nanqing actually came in fifth place, making it into the Aa tier! She's only 17! That's amazing!! She might actually have the potential to win the championship!"

"Bai Xu truly deserves her title as last year's champion. She's also number one in this preliminary round. I think she'll retain her title this year!"

"It's hard to say. I personally think Su Ruxue is the best chance to win; she always manages to surprise us..."

Lin Han was listening with great interest to everyone's lively discussion about the Dragon Qin Cup when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder from behind.

Lin Han turned around and saw Su Ruxue wearing a formal dress.

The girl winked at him, then grabbed his hand and ran wildly down the corridor of the grand theater, exiting the venue through the back door.

As soon as she stepped out of the theater's back door, Su Ruxue opened her arms wide and smiled sweetly.

"How was it, Mr. Lin Han? I didn't disappoint you today, did I?"

"It's really good." Lin Han didn't mince words and gave the praise frankly.

"Could we give you a reward?"

"A reward?" Lin Han asked, puzzled.

Su Ruxue stuck out her little bottom, raised her face, and gave Lin Han a shy look.

The goddess who was just exuding charm on stage is now like a kindergarten child, eagerly awaiting the teacher's "red apple" reward.

Is this girl really this direct now?

Lin Han smiled helplessly. He began to regret why he hadn't been able to control himself that night.

But it was no use saying anything now, so Lin Han could only slowly walk forward.

However, before Lin Han could make a move, Su Ruxue suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and quickly kissed him on the neck, leaving a hickey.

During the kiss, Su Ruxue deliberately stuck out her tongue and licked it like a little devil.

"Consider this a reward from Teacher Lin Han~"

Su Ruxue took a few steps back, revealing an innocent smile, her flowing white hair fluttering in the air.

At that moment, Lin Han was stunned, and his face even turned slightly red.

You absolutely mustn't get used to this kind of thing.

Lin Han told himself this.

......

During his free time, Lin Han opened his phone and found a message notification in the background.

Lin Han clicked to enter, and what caught his eye was a trending topic.

"Ju Zi Jiang appeared in the audience of the Longqin Cup to cheer on cellist Su Ruxue!"

Clicking on the picture reveals a photo of Lin Han sitting in the audience.

Grass!

Lin Han cursed inwardly.

It was during that moment when I took off my sunglasses.

How could this be filmed?! Shouldn't the media's focus be on the stage all the time?!

At this moment, the comment section under the photo was also bustling with activity.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, Orange Brother is so good to Xiaoxue-chan!! I'm shipping them!!"

"This is so sweet! Look at the doting look on Orange Brother's face, it's like he's watching his girlfriend play a game!"

"I was wondering why I hadn't heard from Orange Brother for quite a while. Turns out he was helping Xiaoxue practice the piano!"

"I thought Brother Orange was busy with his company's girl group, given all the rumors circulating online lately..."

Upon seeing this comment, Lin Han was suddenly stunned.

right.

Counting the days, it's almost time to set a date for "AK47's" debut concert!

027. Problem Girl

Two months have passed since the "AK47 Girl Idol Group Project" began.

According to Lin Han's initial plan, the training period for this project was set at two and a half months, which Lin Han called "One Kun Month".

Lin Han wants to use this month to create an effect that other entertainment company trainees cannot achieve even after three years of training!

These three girls were all carefully selected by Lin Han.

Putting aside other factors, they generally possess the following three characteristics:

First, she's beautiful; second, she's obedient; and third, she has extremely strong resilience.

As long as these three qualities are met, and Lin Han's training methods are used, success is impossible! Lin Han was that confident!

Now that practice time is about to end, Lin Han has to find a way out for the girls.

Packaging, debut album, concerts, and future direction—all of these need to be planned now.

However, the three girls were completely unaware of all this.

They had no idea that this hellish training was actually only two and a half months long, and everyone was undergoing this seemingly endless hellish practice with the determination to die.

What they didn't know was that Lin Han had never intended to sideline them. Once they joined Jusheng Media, they were guaranteed a debut. The girls believed that if they didn't perform well or meet the evaluation standards, their idol dreams would be shattered!

All of this was done intentionally by Lin Han to torment the girls' minds.

The goal is to train a group of special forces idols with a fearless attitude towards death.

Only special forces soldiers can carve out a bloody path through the chaotic and corrupt entertainment industry.

Now, it's time to verify the results.

That afternoon, the trainee training base of Jusheng Media received a notification.

The president will personally come to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the trainees.

This inspection will determine whether the girls can successfully debut.

Upon hearing this news, the entire base was thrown into chaos, with teachers and staff from all subjects scrambling to prepare for this final inspection!

Because they knew President Lin Han's character all too well!

If the results of this inspection fail to meet the standards, every staff member at the base will be subject to six hours of overtime every workday thereafter!

This is Orange Jam, a terrifying king of rolls. If it weren't for the fact that my country has a complete set of "Labor Laws", no one would doubt that Orange Jam would lead everyone into a new era of 007!

Surprisingly.

Just as everyone was gripped by panic, the three girls, Lan Yu, Mu Xin, and Fang Yumeng, who were the protagonists of this inspection, remained calm and sat quietly in their dormitory, waiting for that moment to arrive.

The grueling training they underwent during this period has forged their unwavering resolve.

They are no longer the little girls who could only cry and whine just a few months ago!

Lin Han has already made them real women!

......

The final assessment has officially begun!

Lin Han came alone this time, accompanied only by his personal secretary, Hu Yan.

In the spacious and bright classroom, Lin Han sat in a chair, with three girls already seated in front of him. Outside the classroom window, the teachers and staff of the base were all nervously peering inside.

Lin Han took the documents from Hu Yan, his brows furrowing slightly.

In fact, Lin Han hoped more than anyone else that the girls could pass the assessment smoothly.

If the girls' performance does not meet his expectations, Lin Han will postpone their debut and increase the practice time stipulated in the "project".

In that case, we don't know how long we'll have to wait or how much it will cost.

Lin Han couldn't wait any longer.

Since establishing Jusheng Media, Lin Han has fired most of the artists. To date, the company has not achieved any results and is still relying on his personal income to support the entire company.

Lin Han's fantasy of "building an artistic empire" to rescue Yan Yuli remains just a distant slogan.

There are many companies outside waiting to see them fail and make a mess of things.

Lin Han now places all his hopes on the girl group "AK47," which he personally produced and created.

They are the future of Jusheng Media.

The girls themselves probably don't realize how important they are to Lin Han.

"Please, even if we don't talk about Girls' Generation, it should at least be on par with AKB48!"

Lin Han silently recited in his heart.

Then he raised his head and whispered.

"let's start."

The three girls looked at each other and nodded.

Then, as the music began, the girls spread out and started waving their hands.

As soon as the music started, the girls began singing and dancing; the song was "Ring Ring Ring," which they had practiced many times before.

"Now I finally understand what waiting feels like; it's so maddening and agonizing!"

"President, these are the observation records of the younger girls over this period of time." Hu Yan handed a notebook to Lin Han.

Lin Han opened the notebook.

[Mu Xin: Height 172cm, Weight 51kg]

[Specialties: Rap, Choreography]

He has a bad temper, loves to swear, is simple-minded, seems to have studied martial arts, and acts rather stubbornly. He has had several conflicts with the instructors, and even several instructors working together could not subdue him. He has been disciplined six times in two months and is extremely dangerous.

However, her dance is extremely powerful and visually appealing, and her choreography skills are phenomenal; she has the potential to carve out a new style in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future.

Lin Han raised his head and glanced at Mu Xin.

The girl was sweating profusely as she bounced her body vigorously.

Aside from her less-than-perfect facial expression control—her smile looked a bit forced—everything else was perfect.
