Chapter 203: Chapter 204 Shimmering Debut_1 Chapter 203: Chapter 204 Shimmering Debut_1 Today happens to be the day Chanel is setting up their flagship products in the shopping center. Because of this, there’s a large crowd gathered in the square. The stage is already set, with people arranging posters and helium balloons.
It’s a common occurrence for the shopping center to have sales, which makes the crowd even larger in the morning.
GYE Entertainment, Jinghua Entertainment, and Vienna Record Company have all sent representatives to watch this real-life assessment.
There was initially a sparse crowd below the stage, but it gradually grew larger and larger.
There are six contenders today. Ye Qing, who didn’t make any substantive slanders against Qiao Xiaren, was released after a few days of police education. Luckily, she made it in time for this assessment.
She began to secretly compete, no longer daring to openly target Qiao Xiaren.
The posters are already up, the stage is being fine-tuned, and a male and female host borrowed from Jiangbei TV station are aiming to attract the crowd toward the stage with witty and humorous speeches.
“Friends, today several big brands have pompously moved into the shopping center. Don’t miss out on the stunning performances happening right here!”
As expected, many passersby were attracted and began to whisper among themselves.
“Is it the super popular ‘Starlight Cup’ I’ve been hearing about online recently?”
“Oh my god, those ‘Starlight Cup’ folks always know how to surprise us! They never reveal the venue before the event; this year they just started it straight in a public square!”
“Stop showing off your ignorance. This is an assessment, not a publicity stunt!”
“Are you ready, girls? Today’s stage belongs to you!” Sang Xiao smiled, extending a hand out, “Let’s wish ourselves good luck for this market assessment!”
Meanwhile, deafening music had begun to play on the stage. Seeing that there was some excitement happening, even more people began to gather.
After the two hosts finished their banter and left the stage, it was up to us to warm up the crowd and increase morale. The hosts were only there to kick things off.
Despite everyone mentally preparing the night before, when it came time to perform, everyone froze with stage fright.
Those in the audience, seeing the hosts leave the stage without introducing any further performances, began to disperse after a while, bored.
“So much for a performance, they were just bluffing.”
“Forget it, it’s really dull. Let’s go check out the newcomers from Chanel instead.”
The crowd dispersed at an alarming speed.
At the sight of this, everyone was petrified. If they got on stage now, with no one listening or watching them perform, wouldn’t it be extremely awkward?
This demonstrated how crucial the first performer was, but also how high the chance of failure could be.
Everyone was wary of standing out, not wanting to take the risk.
“Ms. Sang, I’ll go first.”
No one dared to perform first, but Qiao Xiaren was different. She always relished these kinds of challenges. Looking at her calm demeanor, feelings were mixed. We were glad someone was brave enough to start, but also didn’t want Qiao Xiaren to steal the show.
Sang Xiao’s gaze fell on Qiao Xiaren, full of appreciation and encouragement. The courage of youth! Good for her!
Qiao Xiaren smoothed her hair, not caring what they thought, and began walking towards the stage.
Her dark hair fluttered in the breeze, a vision of grace and elegance with every step.
All eyes were on the stage where the curtain was being drawn open. Immediately after, a powerful piece of music began playing from backstage. The screen up top started flashing in a blaze of red light. It seemed like someone was about to take the stage!
