Chapter 720: Chapter 720
Li Zimu spoke very quickly, "Okay, we’ll get together next time."
She just wanted to find an excuse to leave now!
At this moment, Yang Xingxin approached, "Alright, ladies, let’s head out first. The program is about to start recording."
Her action was also meant to give Li Zimu a way out. The awkward atmosphere between the two was so palpable that even without looking, she could hear it!
The content of their conversation was utterly uninspiring, dry, and in no way resembled that of friends. The source of this content ɪs NoveI★Fire.net
Yang Xingxin couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. She had originally thought that Li Zimu might have some hope of making a comeback, so she didn’t deliberately suppress her on the show. But now, seeing this, she began to doubt her previous judgment.
She knew there was bad blood between Li Zimu and He Jinxia, but now that He Jinxia was so much more popular, Li Zimu needed to look up to others even for job opportunities. Her situation was so dire, and yet she couldn’t even pretend to be friends.
How could such an impatient person talk about making a comeback in the entertainment circle?
With these thoughts, Yang Xingxin specifically glanced at He Jinxia before leaving. She was saying goodbye to other seniors politely, prompting an approving nod from Yang Xingxin.
People like He Jinxia were more suited for the entertainment circle. You don’t need to be a master of networking or pleasing everyone, but at least even if pretending, you should be all smiles in front of an enemy, hiding any discord. That’s a real tough player in the circle!
And often, it’s these kinds of stars who are more likely to rise from adversity.
For He Jinxia, meeting Li Zimu was just an insignificant episode. If she could dissolve JY once, she could dissolve other teams a second time.
No one needed to remind her. The moment she saw Li Zimu on the show, she understood that Li Zimu wanted to form a new group.
He Jinxia cast her gaze downward, her eyes cold. She would not give them this chance!
What was more painful than disbanding was watching the formation of a new group come to nothing, fruitless at the last moment!
To crush Li Zimu and Zhang Yingru to the bottom with a thunderous move was not what He Jinxia wished for; it would be letting them off too easily.
The vengeance for the original host’s life and death could not be settled with these alone. She wanted them to keep struggling in the circle, constantly being ostracized, giving them hope again and again, only to meet disappointment, until their hearts turned to ash and outside forces compelled them to leave the entertainment circle!
She intended to repay every single thing that had happened to the original host, one by one!
He Jinxia clenched her hand slightly, then composed herself, the coldness on her face fading away as she continued to sign autographs earnestly.
She never considered herself a good person. If no one offended her, she would not offend anyone; but if someone did, they couldn’t blame her for being ruthless.
After a long while, a staff member came to knock on the door, informing her that it was time to prepare for her entrance. He Jinxia packed up her stuff and walked onto the stage with a calm demeanor.
Because of concerns about safety incidents, He Jinxia’s performance this time did not utilize any auxiliary equipment.
The production crew had previously set up a small step platform with stairs, hoping for He Jinxia to stand on it and walk down step by step, which would have been visually enriching.
However, this suggestion was rejected by He Jinxia after she arrived on the scene and personally tested the step platform.
The step platform arranged by the production crew was not sturdy. Every jump gave the sensation that the whole platform was shaking. Even though the platform would be thoroughly inspected for safety hazards beforehand, out of caution, He Jinxia still declined.
If this had been a year ago, no matter how much she disliked it, she would not have rejected it, because she knew that no matter how much of a fuss she made, the production crew would not accommodate her wishes.
But now, she was not the same as before, which was why she had the power to refuse.
During the recording of the show, after the last dance team had finished their performance, the surrounding lights suddenly went out, and "thump-thump," "thump-thump" heartbeat sounds filled the air, pounding aggressively on the audience’s hearts.
The audience couldn’t help but be affected by the music, their hearts seemingly beating in rhythm with it.
With confused faces, the audience started whispering to each other, "Didn’t all the teams already perform? Why is there still another one?"
"Is there another group that hasn’t come on yet?"
"Impossible. If there were, there would be an introduction before the performance, but this time the host didn’t even make an announcement!"
"Could it be a new team, coming to challenge the others?"
"Is it possible that an eliminated contestant has been given a second chance to take the stage again?"
While the audience’s imaginations ran wild, suddenly a spotlight "click" turned on, illuminating a certain spot on the stage.
In the spotlit area, a graceful silhouette appeared. As the light gradually changed, the color of her clothes seemed to change with it.
At a certain moment, the silhouette moved!
Simultaneously, the lights on the stage followed her body’s movements, lighting up one after another. Wherever He Jinxia went, a beam of light was sure to follow.
The audience widened their eyes, and suddenly, at a certain moment, everyone screamed—it was a backflip!
They had not expected the performing star to make her entrance with a backflip!
In the pitch-black surroundings, people instinctively focused on the illuminated area, which further highlighted He Jinxia’s strengths.
After flipping back a certain distance, He Jinxia landed steadily on the ground, her figure halting, still with her back to the audience.
At that moment, the music began with a lively start. He Jinxia, with a hint of a smile, turned around, revealing her face to everyone.
The venue erupted with a tidal wave of screaming once again!
Singing while dancing, her breath was impressively steady, reminiscent of the previous girl group performances.
Down below the stage, the moment He Jinxia appeared, Li Zimu’s hands clenched tightly together, turning purple without her noticing!
Her gaze kept unintentionally drifting towards a corner of the stage shrouded in darkness. It was hard to see clearly, but there was a large object there—the platform for the jump!
After He Jinxia’s rehearsal, Li Zimu had come on stage to take a look and discovered that the platform seemed unstable at one spot; a metal frame connection was loose, likely due to a poorly tightened screw.
Li Zimu knew the platform was for He Jinxia’s use. Even when she found the issue, after much consideration, she chose not to tell anyone.
During the show, Li Zimu stared intently at He Jinxia, her anomaly even caught by the chief director who was choosing shots for the recording.
The director frowned in displeasure, muttered a few words, and steered the camera away to scan other areas.
"This Li Zimu, really. Is she afraid that others won’t notice her bad relationship with He Jinxia? Her face is as white as a dead person’s, and her eyes are bulging so big!"
