Chapter 549- Second Grouping

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing his son’s words, Feng Duo’s father, Feng Shan, couldn’t help but frown. He looked at the secretary standing beside him and asked him with his eyes what was going on.

“At that time, the votes were already very high, but I didn’t expect an accident to happen and let Young Master come in second.” The secretary admitted his mistake with a bitter smile.

The original plan was to spend money to buy the votes. Moreover, when they were preparing, they had already set a considerable number of votes. Therefore, they didn’t expect anyone to surpa.s.s them.

In the end, when the voting segment came to an end and they realized that they had been overtaken, it was too late for them to react. Therefore, the secretary could only try his best to let Feng Duo land in second place.

The secretary’s words were spoken softly, and Feng Duo couldn’t hear them. “Little Duo, the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed. If you get first place m the preliminary round, it might not be a good thing for you to be constantly watched in the future. Why don’t you let someone else help you block it?” When Feng Shan spoke to his son, his tone subconsciously softened.

Feng Shan, who was domineering and decisive in the business world, softened his expression. “When the second round starts, you’ll be first. That way, you’ll be able to prove your hard work and strength more.”

No matter what, Feng Shan, who knew his son best, quickly dispelled the dissatisfaction in Feng Duo’s heart with a few words. He even coaxed Feng Duo to be happy.

In the end, Feng Duo only snorted reluctantly. “Then it’s settled.”

With that, he had no intention of bidding farewell and hung up.

Feng Shan was not angry when he heard the call cut off. He only smiled helplessly. It seemed that he was almost endlessly indulgent of Feng Duo. “Boss, then Madam-” Seeing that the call had ended, the secretary spoke. Feng Shan waved his hand casually. “Just tell her that I have a last-minute meeting and give her some money to shop by herself.”

“As for Feng Duo, you’ve followed me for so many years. You know what to say and what not to say.”

Feng Shan turned around and left. The secretary nodded repeatedly and followed behind, determined to keep his mouth shut.

The secretary decided to let the knowledge of Feng Duo being an illegitimate child rot in his stomach.

After the call ended, Feng Duo’s mood improved a lot. He stood on the balcony in the cold night air and sobered up.

Qiu Ze walked over at this moment.

He pretended to be drunk and walked over to get some air. “Feng Duo? You’re here too.”

Qiu Ze subconsciously revealed a surprised expression and raised his hand to greet the other party.

“Tsk.” Feng Duo frowned when he saw Qiu Ze.

He had long forgotten that Qiu Ze had persuaded him to return to the dressing room. He had an impression of Qiu Ze because the other party was in the same group as the Jing Jianbai he hated.

Qiu Ze took two steps back apologetically and distanced himself from the other party. “I’m sorry if I caused you any trouble.”

“I just think that we’ve seen each other a few times. I wonder if we can be considered friends.”

Qiu Ze had always been good at socializing. Even when facing difficult people like Feng Duo, he had his own plans.

Feng Duo clicked his tongue. “Aren’t you going to celebrate your first place with your good teammates instead of looking for me?”

You mean Jing Jianbai? He didn’t come.” Qiu Ze smiled.

He then revealed an envious expression. “Perhaps he’s busy now. After all, the director seems to think quite highly of him.”

“The director thinks highly of him?” Feng Duo was indeed distracted by Qiu Ze’s words.

“Yes… At that time, I accidentally heard something backstage. They said that a company had already taken a fancy to Jianbai.”

Qiu Ze denied it himself. “But it might be gossip, still, he performed quite well.” He didn’t mention that he had met Murong Qiao. A person like Feng Duo was not easy to control. If he exposed himself, he could forget about going to CG. Therefore, Qiu Ze’s words were a little vague, but this didn’t stop Feng Duo from becoming even more hostile towards Jing Jianbai.

“Someone likes this kind of guy?” Feng Duo was a little frustrated.

In his opinion, Jing Jianbai was sulky and didn’t like to talk. At most, his lousy piano skills were a little better.

Qiu Ze took the opportunity to add, “He’s outstanding.”

“What’s the use?” Feng Duo retorted disdainfully.

The arrogance that had been nurtured by Feng Shan’s money since he was young was completely displayed on Feng Duo.

Feng Duo thought for a moment. “So what if someone likes him? In any case it’s not settled.”

The final results would only be announced during the finals. Before that, Feng Duo could destroy the other party with any method.

Qiu Ze didn’t say anything. He only took in Feng Duo’s reaction and silently blended back into the crowd.

The night pa.s.sed.

After the first round of the preliminaries was broadcasted at night, the production team divided the teams very efficiently and announced the results to everyone.

Now that he was also Qiu Ze and Jing Jianbai’s roommate, Chen Chenghan immediately squatted in the group.

“Wow! I’m in the same group as Qiu Ze! This is too lucky!” Chen Chenghan immediately shouted.

Qiu Ze was the first place in the previous compet.i.tion. If he was placed with the other party, the probability of pa.s.sing would greatly increase. Moreover, there would definitely be many scenes!

Chen Chenghan’s eyes lit up as he looked at Qiu Ze beside him happily.

Qiu Ze smiled and replied, “Looks like we’re fated. We’re roommates and teammates.”

“Ah—the other four people here don’t know each other at all. It’s over, it’s over,” his roommate wailed.

Humans would not always be lucky. When one’s strength was insufficient, praying for others to send one flying was a coincidence.

Clearly, the good luck of the group this time didn’t fall on the other roommates. Instead, it was a change of candidates.

“Where’S Jing Jianbai? Did he go to practice the piano again?” His roommate suddenly remembered that there was someone else who didn’t move.

Everyone had been divided into groups and should be looking for their teammates now. Only Jing Jianbai was nowhere to be seen. However, when they thought about what the other party could do, they realized that he must be in the practice room.

Jing Jianbai naturally had his own group.

Coincidentally, his teammate in the second group this time was Feng Duo. When Feng Duo received the news and saw that his teammate’s name was Jing Jianbai, his face immediately darkened.

How unlucky! Why was he in the same group as him!

Yesterday, he was just about to kick the other party out of the compet.i.tion when he didn’t expect such a dramatic outcome today.

“Tsk—” Feng Duo’s face was filled with displeasure.

However, he had no choice but to accept this outcome.

After all, the Feng family was in real estate, so no matter how rich and powerful they were, it didn’t involve the production team to change the results of this grouping.

Since they had already become teammates, they should at least meet and train together. They would be together for the next few days. No matter how impatient Feng Duo was, he planned to get up and look for the other party. In the end, when he went to the dormitory, he realized that Jing Jianbai was not there at all.

Qiu Ze and the others also learned the results of the grouping from Feng Duo and couldn’t help but feel surprised.

“If you want to look for him, just go to the practice room. Other than when we eat and sleep, he’s most likely there.” His roommate pointed the way for him.

Qiu Ze sat at the side and didn’t say anything for a moment.

He was surprised by this grouping outcome. At the same time, he couldn’t help but have new thoughts from the combination of Feng Duo and Jing Jianbai. Feng Duo was his opponent, and so was Jing Jianbai.

Now that they were in the same group, if he could kill two birds with one stone and eliminate them together…
