Zhang Yi looked at Xiao Jing in surprise and didn't keep him in suspense. He directly announced,""First place goes to Chen Yu. He received a total of 43213 votes.”
Xiao Jing's evaluation of him was like a knife that cut through Chen Yu's mind several times, leaving him in a daze. However, he still raised the microphone and said with a smile,"
"Thank you for your support. I will continue to work hard in the future. To be able to get first place was something I never dreamed of. I have to thank my parents, my agent, and the staff for their help. I will continue to work hard.”
Xiao Jing glanced at Chen Yu and said with a smile,""Congratulations. Smart people won't have bad luck, but I believe that my hard work and struggle will also be seen by all the producers. I wanted to prove to the producer that my hard work was more important than my intelligence.”
The two of them hugged and walked to the first and second seats respectively.
However, Chen Yu was still in a daze.
In fact, there were only two possibilities. The first was that Xiao Jing was indeed out of his mind. The second possibility was that Xiao Jing did say those words with a purpose, but she didn't know what his purpose was.
Zhang Yi was still trying to keep everyone in suspense, refusing to announce who was in 60th place.
Chen Yu sat on the stage calmly on the surface, but his heart was actually in a mess.
Although Chen Yu hadn't experienced the entertainment industry before, he could imagine that he would definitely be in the limelight if he obtained first place in the first round of voting. Besides, Xiao Jing's words would inevitably make him a target.
Chen Minghao made up his mind. He couldn't figure out Xiao Jing's intention, but he had to let Kang Hui know about it in advance. He wanted to see if she had any good solutions, or at least she could be prepared.
After returning to the dormitory, Chen Yu began thinking about how to let Kang Hui know about this.
Yesterday, Chen Yu had heard from the dorm manager that a trainee had been admitted to the hospital for a fever. Hence, his first reaction was to pretend to be sick and go to the hospital before contacting Kang Hui. However, he quickly ruled out this method. After all, if he went to the hospital and the doctor found out that he wasn't sick, he could imagine how awkward the situation would be.
The second method Chen Yu thought of was to have the eliminated trainees notify the other trainees. The difficulty lay in how the trainees would contact Kang Hui and find a suitable trainee to pass on the news. Moreover, from the effect, it could only remind Kang Hui that there was a difference between his imagination and his.
Chen Yu felt that he only had one solution left. He had to find the director's assistant, Yang Yuwen, whom Kang Hui had mentioned before. Chen Yu believed that Yang Yuwen might not help him, but he had the advantage of not telling anyone about this matter. He believed in Kang Hui's foresight.
After making up his mind, Chen Yu wrote a note: ""Please let Kang Hui know yesterday's ranking, especially Xiao Jing's evaluation of me.”
The next day, when there was no camera or anyone else around, he took a look at Yang Yuwen and took the paper ball back.
Yang Yuwen was stunned for a moment. He pulled him into the men's bathroom and after seeing that there was no one there, he whispered to him,""The top three trainees have the opportunity to shoot advertisements. You can pretend to go to the toilet in the middle and sneak out to make a phone call.”
Shocked by Yang Yuwen's boldness, Chen Yu asked,""Are you sure you won't be discovered by others?”
Yang Yuwen smiled strangely and said,""Hehe, don't worry."
Chen Yu nodded doubtfully.
By the time the commercial was filmed the next day, Chen Yu's progress was much smoother than he had imagined. This was because when they were at the filming base, all the trainees 'phones were confiscated, and the staff's phones were also strictly controlled.
However, once they left the base, they were like birds that had flown out of their cages. They were free.
After Chen Yu finished filming his part, he left with Yang Yuwen.
Chen Yu found a secluded corner and called Kang Hui.
Kang Hui didn't exchange pleasantries and asked directly,"Yang Yuwen texted me about what happened on the way. I want to know what you think now.”
" I still can't figure out what Xiao Jing is thinking," Chen Yu said after a pause." Although his speech made me suffer a lot of criticism, he also suffered as many attacks as I did." If he wanted to snatch C from me, he would only be the third party who would benefit from the fight between the snipe and the clam. Could it be that he was paving the way for others?”
Kang Hui sneered." You're really not as good as Xiao Jing. This is the third time I've told you. You don't see the big picture. You look at the problem too one-sidedly." Do you think he's doing this to stop you from competing with him for first place? No, he wanted you to get out of the nine of them.“
Kang Hui paused for a moment and added,"Remember, in 'Artiste Train', your character is more important than your talent." After the program was broadcast, all the trainees 'fans who had the chance to compete for the first place would come to trample on you because you were the first and Xiao Jing had given you such a good knife. But no matter where you went, people's characters were like cheating and selfishness. No matter where you went in the future, these two labels would follow you.”
Kang Hui seemed to drink some water and continued,"Xiao Jing will be slandered, but his character is more likely to be seen as straightforward. The straightforward personality was currently a character that was highly recognized by the audience. That's why I said that you're really not as good as Xiao Jing. As for you, even if some fans really think that you are smarter and like you, they will become brainless fans. However, your popularity will be ruined because the audience's expectations for trainees are hot-blooded and hard work, not for old foxes in the workplace. Although you are my artiste, I have to say that you are indeed very experienced in handling these two matters. Believe me, the audience will think so too.”
Feeling that his IQ was insufficient, Chen Yu asked doubtfully,""Why does he hate me so much that he has to make me send nine players?”
"Because you're a threat to him in the 9-man team." Kang Hui analyzed calmly. Do you understand? Xiao Jing is really smart. When you were fighting for the nine positions, he was already planning for the future. He was already thinking about the future.”
Chen Yu fell silent. He then heard Kang Hui chuckle and say,""But you don't have to worry too much. I'm here. If you had the brains to know, it would have been enough for you to find me in advance.”
