Chapter 879: Chapter 879

Memories filled the room, bringing tears to the eyes of many judges present.

They found it hard to believe that Yan Yuan, so young, could mimic the songs of a diva.

It should be known that the high notes of this song are quite terrifying, and in this world, there are very few who can hit such high notes.

Even if someone manages to sing it, it’s incredibly difficult to replicate the voice of the diva.

Yan Yuan stood on the stage, singing to her heart’s content, her voice resounding powerfully or soaring melodiously.

She realized she loved the stage, loved the applause, loved showcasing herself amidst a sea of excited voices.

At this moment, Yan Yuan thought, this honor, this joy, is something an immortal would never experience in a lifetime.

Even though a human’s life is but a brief century long.

Yet in this hundred years, humans can experience joys and sorrows, grief, and anger that immortals cannot fathom even in millions of years.

The six hardships that humans endure are the true essence of life.

It’s no wonder some envy ducks and not immortals.

After the song finished!

There was a brief silence in the venue.

The judges quickly stood up to applaud.

Following that, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Perhaps, this song isn’t familiar to the young girls and boys present.

But for the older generation, it is a poignant remembrance.

Yan Yuan’s performance not only reminded everyone of the diva from years past but also showcased her unique vocal prowess and awe-inspiring high notes.

Everyone was thrilled beyond words.

Yan Yuan stood on stage and bowed slightly.

Perhaps feeling the fervor of the crowd, she felt a bit excited herself.

Because of the danger on stage, she instinctively stepped a few paces towards the edge of the stage.

Just as she was moving towards the center of the stage.

A loud noise sounded behind her.

Startled, Yan Yuan instinctively looked up to see not just two lamps falling down.

But the entire lighting rig above her had collapsed.

She felt a chill run through her heart, ready to leap off the stage.

But from below the stage, a pair of hands quickly grasped her wrist and pulled her off.

Caught off guard, she fell into a man’s embrace, a familiar cherry blossom scent wafting into her nose.

At that moment, an enormous crash echoed from behind her.

The crowd was shocked, even the judges were thrown into a panic.

Pulled by someone, Yan Yuan was dragged out of danger and stopped a short distance away.

She quickly steadied herself and looked up, seeing Bai Chenxi standing expressionlessly in front of her.

"Why are you staring blankly, didn’t you see the danger? Reacted so slowly?" Bai Chenxi said sharply.

Yan Yuan pouted and pushed him away, "I thought you were mute; you sure speak fluently when scolding."

Bai Chenxi’s face turned green instantly.

This guy, if it weren’t for his quick reaction, she would have been hit.

He saved her, and she countered him with her words.

The stage was in chaos, fortunately, Yan Yuan was the only one up there, after her rescue, no one else was in danger.

In the brief chaos, Zhao Qiankun saw Bai Chenxi suddenly appear and save Yan Yuan.

Frightened, he rushed forward, "Boss, why are you here?"

Bai Chenxi, with one hand in his pocket, turned to Zhao Qiankun, his gaze like a sharp blade, ready to slice flesh and blood.

"Repetitive accidents? What if someone had died? How are you acting as general manager?"

Usually silent, Bai Chenxi spoke loudly; he was evidently furious.

At this moment, Zhao Qiankun felt like dying.

He didn’t know why things kept going wrong.

Last night he had someone check to ensure nothing would happen.

"Boss, I don’t know what happened. I’ll immediately investigate; anyone found guilty must be severely punished."

Yan Yuan stood aside, observing Bai Chenxi; was he standing up for her?

In any case, such incidents are hazardous even if they happen to others.

If the event at Fengying resulted in fatalities, the media coverage would severely affect the company.

The new drama hasn’t started filming, and there’s a major issue.

As the owner of Fengying, naturally, he was enraged.

"I’ll give you twenty minutes, go find out exactly what’s going on," Bai Chenxi commanded sharply.

Zhao Qiankun dared not waste a second, turned around, and walked out, sweating profusely, to investigate.

At this moment, the members of the logistics team were all extremely nervous.

The stage had been set up for many years without incident.

The sudden collapse of the entire lighting surely means someone tampered with it.

Zhao Qiankun could only go check the surveillance.

After Zhao Qiankun left, other judges saw Bai Chenxi had arrived and immediately came forward to greet him.

Now that this incident had occurred, results couldn’t be announced immediately.

The person in charge decided the newcomers would return home, and results would be sent to everyone later.

Thus, the trainees were soon dismissed.

Su Meili sat in a corner, eyes blazing with anger.

It’s too much; Yan Yuan not only escaped unharmed, but Bai Chenxi unexpectedly appeared from nowhere to save her.

Isn’t this woman’s luck too good?

As Zhao Qiankun went to examine the surveillance, Su Meili felt no fear.

It’s not that she’s unafraid of being caught, but the deal was already in place; if something happened, someone would take the blame for her.

She has money to buy loyalty.

Indeed, the surveillance confirmed Su Meili and others were at the stage earlier in the morning.

Su Meili and her companions firmly claimed they were there for rehearsal.

As confirmed, they were only rehearsing on the stage that morning and did nothing else.

Ultimately, it was the lighting crew’s technician who admitted it was his negligence; he found the equipment was aging but failed to repair it promptly, leading to this accident.

Since the matter was cleared up, Bai Chenxi naturally wouldn’t keep such an irresponsible employee and fired him directly!

The incident was finally resolved.

Yan Yuan couldn’t believe Su Meili had played such a trick; this maneuver of golden cicada shedding its skin was quite effective.

Thankfully, she had preemptively moved towards the edge of the stage.

If she had stayed in the middle of the stage, a big enough piece of equipment falling would have caused serious injury, if not death.

Su Meili was truly ruthless, actually wanting to kill her.

Some things are tacitly understood by all, but without evidence, it’s impossible to convict without catching the perpetrator red-handed.

Seeing the issue was resolved, Yan Yuan intended to leave the qualifying room.

Just as she turned, Bai Chenxi called from behind, "Be more careful in the future!"

Yan Yuan scrunched her nose and smiled, "Naturally!"

Though their interaction was simple.

There was no sign of ambiguity between them, but the tone of their conversation was revealing.

They seemed quite familiar with each other.

At this moment, Zhao Qiankun felt a headache.

He wasn’t sure if his position was secure.

In Bai Chenxi’s presence, he truly couldn’t lift his head up.

"Demoted from general manager to deputy manager," Bai Chenxi said, then turned to leave.

In the qualifying room, Zhao Qiankun felt a chill in his heart.

Why was he so unlucky?

Since the newcomer selection contest began, he hadn’t had any good fortune.

His career had been plummeting, unforeseen incidents caught him by surprise.

Even though these issues weren’t of his doing, it still counted as his fault.

Poor management, improper judgment.

Yan Yuan returned to the dormitory, removing makeup and said to Xiao Jiemei, "Do you have time this afternoon? Let’s go shopping and buy some clothes!"

After all, they’ll be celebrities, dressing too shabbily wouldn’t be good.

"Sure!" Xiao Jiemei nodded, "Just right, these days have been too exhausting, shopping would be relaxing."

"Then quickly take off your makeup and change clothes!" Yan Yuan cheerfully pulled out her sportswear and sneakers.

These days she had been very busy and hardly had time to play around.

She wasn’t the type to sacrifice everything for her career; playing around was her biggest aim.

Just as she changed clothes, her phone rang.

Picking it up, she discovered it was from an unknown number.

Curious, she answered the call, "Hello!"

"Is that Yan Yuan? It’s me!" Tang Xirui’s voice came from the other side, filled with irrepressible joy.

Yan Yuan naturally recognized his voice. "What’s up? Are there issues with the system?"

"No, no... of course the system’s fine. Didn’t you say you’d treat me to a meal once the system was fixed? Congratulations on becoming a member of CLA," Tang Xirui laughed gleefully.

Yan Yuan held her phone, hesitating for a moment.

She had arranged with Xiao Jiemei and couldn’t directly share her side job with her.

But she really wanted to go eat, after all, someone was inviting her; it’s free and saves money.

Besides, she had already squandered the one million yuan without much left.

She had to take the bus to go anywhere lately.
