I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

The host announced at breakneck speed, "Please welcome the four idol trainees to the stage!"

All four contestants stood up and went on stage, while all the songwriters nervously turned their gazes toward Jin Lan—

It's not that I'm afraid she won't choose me, it's that I'm afraid she will choose me.

After this round of competition, everyone knew that Jin Lan was tone-deaf. She had become a jinx, and everyone avoided her like the plague, fearing that she would choose them.

So for a moment, it wasn't Qin Yunshang, but Jin Lan who became the focus of everyone's attention.

The host continued the proceedings, saying, "Jin Lan and Qin Yunshang, you two have equal priority in choosing your partner. So, let's have Jin Lan choose her partner first."

Jin Lan took the microphone and whispered, "I...I choose Chen Liang..."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed.

Jia Yi's expression was complicated, Meng Xing and Guo Xiaoran were relieved, Lu Chujiu had some regrets, and Qin Yunshang was startled and almost jumped up.

Her expression was agitated, her features were all scrunched up, and if she weren't trying to maintain a ladylike image, she would have been waving her fists and shouting, "Chen Liang is mine! Mine!"

Chen Ya, standing to the side, covered his face deeply.

He guessed this would be the result when the host announced the rules for the revival round.

Jin Lan is indeed a bit slow-witted, but she's not completely stupid. If she can't tell who's driving her after three rounds of driving, she's really not suited for this line of work. She should just find a block of tofu and smash her head against it.

At this moment, the chat room was filled with laughter.

The conflict between Chen Liang and Jin Lan was already common knowledge, and some of their live stream clips were repeatedly broadcast on various platforms.

Not only do longtime viewers know that the two don't get along, but new viewers are even more aware that their characters are portrayed as "bickering lovers," even though the two individuals involved do not agree with this.

The host chuckled and feigned surprise, asking, "Jin Lan, why did you choose Chen Liang? Didn't you used to hate him the most?"

Jin Lan knew this was one of her few chances to salvage her image in Chen Liang's eyes. Holding the microphone, she said:

“I used to be very resistant to him because I thought he was too harsh, but now I realize that he is actually all bark and no bite and he thinks of me in everything he does.”

After a pause, she added, "He didn't write any pop songs, but songs tailor-made for me. It's a pity I didn't know that before, and he didn't tell me, which made me misunderstand him for so long."

After saying that, she bit her lip, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Chen Ya with a resentful expression. She didn't look like she was looking at her partner, but rather like she was looking at her ex-boyfriend.

Chen Ya was almost dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "Please, can you stop making that face? People who don't know better will think I did something to you!"

Jin Lan continued, "He is truly a very special songwriter. I didn't cherish him before, but as long as there is an opportunity, I will always choose to work with Chen Liang and never be separated from him again."

After she finished speaking, Jia Yi felt a mix of emotions. If she said Chen Liang was special, then that meant I wasn't special!

However, no one paid attention to his resentment; the viewers in the live stream had already gone wild.

"Is this supposed to be a partner selection? The lines sound more like a confession of love!"

"So sweet! So sweet! I'm dying of sweetness!"

"This couple is in a love-hate relationship. It's fun to torment the husband for a while, but chasing him back will be a nightmare. Please lock them up!"

"Oh my god, I actually found myself shipping characters on the Idol Producer show, I'm going crazy!"

……

Qin Yun Chu sat in the studio, her hand holding the coffee trembling slightly, almost dropping it, and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

What happened? What happened?!

What's wrong with Chen Ya? Why does he flirt with everyone he meets, even the girl he briefly worked with on a variety show?

If this really causes a stir and gets back to his own father, who knows how the old man will interpret it?

Qin Yunchu decided to have a proper talk with Chen Ya later.

At least he should change his womanizing ways! This show is watched by audiences all over the country!

...At this very moment, in a dark, secluded room in Tokyo, a young lady's sugary drink had spilled all over her skirt.

At this point, Ruriko was beyond furious.

I felt something was off when I watched the live stream, and now I've got the evidence!

This guy said he came to see me, but what did he actually do? He was out picking up girls everywhere!

If it weren't for the fact that the live stream was still going on, Liulizi would have called him on the spot to ask him what was going on.

Does this guy think there aren't enough people in the heartbroken boy's shelter group?!

It's not like we have to accept just anyone!

……

During the live broadcast, Jin Lan made a declaration to recruit her, emphasizing her pitiful and vulnerable nature.

Regardless of the effect on Chen Ya himself, the audience has decided that the two are a perfect match.

The host then turned the microphone to Qin Yunshang and said:

"Yunshang'er, you also have the right to choose first. Who is your partner?"

"Chen Liang! Chen Liang! I choose Chen Liang!" Qin Yunshang said immediately as soon as she found an opportunity, as if she was afraid that Chen Liang would be snatched away.

"Oh, this..." The host was taken aback and said, "This is something we didn't expect before; the two contestants actually chose the same partner!"

He glanced towards the studio and asked, "Does anyone know what to do in this situation?"

It was quite unexpected for two contestants to compete for the same person, because the songwriters they found were usually of similar skill levels, and this wouldn't normally happen.

Who would have thought that Chen Liang, who joined at the last minute, would become such a dark horse?

Sitting in the audience, Chen Liang quickly asked, "In this situation, can I choose the candidates?"

If he had the choice, he would definitely choose Qin Yunshang.

Jinlan is pitiful, but I'm sorry, Tokyo doesn't believe in tears!

The host laughed and said to him, "Sorry, Chen Liang, I need to check the relevant rules before I can answer you. But I can tell you that this is not 'If You Are the One,' so the situation you described should not occur."

Everyone burst into laughter, while Chen Ya's face darkened.

A staff member ran onto the stage and handed the host a notebook. After looking it over, the host said:

"According to the rules, if two players with equal selection rights compete for a player, they will draw lots to decide who gets to team up. The player who draws the lot will be the last to have their selection rights."

After speaking, he glanced at the two people beside him and said:

"In other words, if you insist on vying for him, then we'll draw lots. However, if you don't get a spot, you'll be the last one to choose. Are you still insisting on choosing Chen Liang?"

He smiled slightly and continued, "You can still change the options now!"

Jin Lan immediately replied, "I'm sure! I choose Chen Liang!"

She had thought it through. So far, only Chen Liang could carry her; no one else could.

In other words, if she couldn't choose Chen Liang, she would be doomed; she had no choice but to gamble.

Qin Yunshang looked at Jin Lan in disbelief. She hadn't expected that Jin Lan would actually be so competitive and dare to compete with her for someone else's man.

Jin Lan stared intently at Qin Yunshang, puffing out her chest to show that she was not going to back down at all, hoping to make Qin Yunshang back down.

This is her only chance, and even if her opponent is Qin Yunshang, she has no choice but to fight for it!

Qin Yunshang said half-sullenly, "I'll choose Chen Liang. Let's draw lots then, who's afraid of who!"

For a moment, the two beautiful girls were locked in a tense standoff on stage, both vying for Chen Liang's attention, neither willing to give an inch.

Chen Ya sat in his seat, feeling a buzzing pain in his head.

"Alright!" the host shouted, "Let's begin the draw! Please get ready!"

The production team was well-prepared. The screen started scrolling and soon settled on the words "gold and blue".

"Jin Lan has successfully teamed up with Chen Liang!"

Jin Lan was immediately beaming with joy, almost jumping for joy, while Qin Yunshang was quite dejected, like a defeated rooster.

Qin Yunchu, sitting in the studio, shook her head.

It's a pity... Although she wanted to help her sister, she couldn't possibly make a decision unilaterally, could she? That would have a terrible impact. At most, she could ask the production team not to pre-select the better-looking Jin and Lan.

Moreover, if you still get gold or blue in one out of two draws, then you can only say it's fate.

When the results came out, the entire live stream chat erupted in celebration.

"Haha, these two are really locked in!"

"Would the production team dare not choose Jin Lan? These two are so effective! If it weren't for them, the audience would have suffered a stroke!"

"Although I feel that Chen Liang and Yun Shang'er could produce more good songs as a duo, this pair is really worth watching."

……

Chen Ya slumped listlessly in his seat.

That's life; once bad luck strikes, it never ends.

I've drawn the gold and blue cards three times in a row now. I guess it's fate.

The host, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, smugly handed the microphone to Lu Chujiu:

"Chu Jiu, what is your choice?"

Lu Chujiu made a "gurgling" sound and whispered:

“I also wanted to choose Chen Liang… I’ve worked with him before, but… I haven’t…”

The host was stunned, while the live stream chat erupted in laughter, eager for a good show.

"I'm sorry, Chu Jiu, Chen Liang has already been chosen," the host said. "You can only choose someone else."

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Chujiu slowly said, "Then, let's go with Teacher Guo Xiaoran."

She worked very well with Guo Xiaoran, so there was no reason not to choose him. This choice made perfect sense.

The fact that they chose Chen Liang at the beginning made the onlookers even more satisfied.

This is still a love triangle.

No... if you include Qin Yunshang, it's a love quadrangle...

Next up was Guo Lichuan, who chose Jia Yi.

His choice was a relief to Meng Xing, who was a bit of a goofball and really wasn't used to working with this kind of workaholic.

So, Qin Yunshang, who had the last choice, naturally could only choose Meng Xing.

The grouping is finally complete. The final groupings are:

Chen Liang and Jin Lan are in one group; Qin Yunshang and Meng Xing are in one group; Lu Chujiu and Guo Xiaoran are in one group; Guo Lichuan and Jia Yi are in one group.

Everyone returned to their seats. Jin Lan sat back down, gave Chen Ya an embarrassed smile, and almost got caught off guard by Chen Ya's antics.

I'm really not used to her being so gentle.

The host continued:

"Now, let's move on to the next theme. The theme for your next creation is..."

He paused, then looked up mysteriously and said:

"Cute little animals."

"Huh?!"

"Ok??"

Guo Xiaoran, Jia Yi, and Meng Xing, who were sitting in the audience, were all taken aback.

Why is this the topic?!

Jia Yi glared fiercely at Guo Xiaoran, silently questioning him.

Are you messing with us?!

What happened to the promised leak of exam questions?!

Guo Xiaoran looked completely innocent.

Brother, the question I received is the same one as before. I'm a victim too!

Previously, the three of them had been drinking at an izakaya and had agreed to ambush Chen Liang together.

Guo Xiaoran had already told them the questions for the next round, but the questions were different from what he had told them before.
