I Became the Top Competitor in a Talent Show Novel - Chapter 31.2

The rehearsal ended, and everyone went down to change clothes and apply makeup for the official recording.

By the time the actual recording was finished, it was dark outside. Chi Meng, wearing makeup, a white shirt, a pink skirt, and a gold and pink necktie, carried her suit jacket and daytime clothes. As she walked toward the bus, she saw the parking lot was packed with people.

These were parents who had heard the news and come to bring things to the trainees, as well as various company managers. The scene was crowded and chaotic. The production team quickly organized people to maintain order, giving everyone half an hour, stating that the bus would leave after half an hour, and those who didn’t make it back would have to find their own way home.

Chi Meng had no parents and no manager. She slipped away from the edge of the noisy crowd and went to check on her entire worldly possession locked up in the bike shed. She patted the handlebars of her bicycle and whispered, “You’ve worked hard.”

Looking up, she saw a 24-hour convenience store across the street, next to a book café.

Chi Meng slowly strolled over.

Meng Limin stood with her hands on her hips, staring at the girl in front of her, startled: “You’re in Class F?”

“How can you be in Class F? Are you crazy, or am I crazy?!”

Song Jiaqi said calmly, “At least I’m not crazy.”

Ye Qing and Ling Yao nearby couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Chen Zhu lightly tapped them, and the two immediately lowered their heads, daring not to laugh again.

In front of the other trainees, Meng Limin took a deep breath, thinking she had to save some face for Song Jiaqi. I won’t get angry, I can’t get angry, getting angry will hurt my body and no one will replace me— “How can you be in F!!!!”

Fufufu—

The roar made the leaves fall. Song Jiaqi reached out and pulled the hem of her short sleeve, showing Meng Limin the sticker on her shirt.

F, Song Jiaqi.

Recognize it?

Chen Zhu felt Meng Limin was about to pass out from anger. She said softly, “Please don’t worry. The next stage performance is about to happen, and the elimination will only be after that stage. I assure you, Jiaqi won’t be eliminated in the first round.”

“The others won’t either.”

Song Jiaqi glanced at Chen Zhu.

Meng Limin clutched her heart, seemingly not hearing Chen Zhu’s words. She stared down at the floor, muttering, “This is not what I envisioned.”

With Chen Zhu and the others on the same stage, plus Song Jiaqi’s face, and the host Xie Tongyue being an old artist of Renxing—how could Song Jiaqi be in F? What did she do?

Song Jiaqi thought indifferently: What could I do? I did nothing.

Exactly, nothing at all.

Chen Zhu pursed her lips and said lightly, “She didn’t do nothing. Jiaqi adopted an Jiejie named Chi Meng. Chi Meng is a very hardworking and good talent, and her personality is decent too.”

Song Jiaqi’s composure finally broke. She twisted her head sharply, staring at Chen Zhu: “?”

Meng Limin took a deep breath, so angry that her mind went blank. She muttered, “Chi Meng…”

Before she could finish muttering, Song Jiaqi reached out and pushed her into the car: “It’s time for assembly. You should go back. Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”

Everyone, including Chen Zhu and the others, had only one thought.

Meng Limin: “You know nothing!”

Song Jiaqi slammed the car door shut with a ‘pa’. Meng Limin ‘pap-pap’ knocked on the window from inside. “I drove here! You closed the passenger door—do you want me to climb into the driver’s seat??”

“Oh.”

Song Jiaqi released her hand from the car door.

Only Song Jiaqi dared to talk to Meng Limin like this. The other trainees secretly shuffled backward. Chen Zhu, however, did not move and opened the car door for Meng Limin.

Meng Limin patted Chen Zhu’s arm and instructed, “Little Xiang, I can’t interfere too much with the program, but… you keep an eye on her. You absolutely must keep a close eye on her!”

Chen Zhu nodded. “Jiaqi’s Jiejie and I will watch her.”

Hearing Chen Zhu continuously bring up this Jiejie, Meng Limin had an idea. Song Jiaqi frowned and said, “Hurry and go.”

I’m so fond of looking at you, F!

Meng Limin snorted, reached out, and patted the letter on Song Jiaqi’s stomach. She got into the car in a huff. Song Jiaqi and the others watched as Sister Meng drove away in a car that was even darker than her face.

Song Jiaqi cleared her throat and said to Chen Zhu, “Don’t tell anyone else about me and Chi Meng—”

Before she could finish, Chen Zhu said, “—your Jiejie.”

Song Jiaqi: “…”

Chen Zhu curved her lips and pointed behind her. “Look, your Jiejie.”

Song Jiaqi stiffly turned around. Chi Meng had just crossed the road and was walking over. Seeing Song Jiaqi and the others, she smiled, waved, and approached, carrying a bag of books, her eyes bright.

“I was just looking for you! Here, a gift from Jiejie, a reward for successfully staying in Class F,” Chi Meng said, handing the books to Song Jiaqi.

The heavy weight made Song Jiaqi’s arm bend.

Song Yingjun asked Chi Meng in surprise, “The production team took our phones. Chi Meng, where did you get the money?”

“I carry cash with me,” Chi Meng said, curving her lips. She spread out a stack of loose change in her hand for them to see and asked with a smile, “I have plenty more. I can treat you guys to something to eat. Does anyone want anything?”

Everyone: “…”

They were tempted!

Is it too late to call Chi Meng Jiejie now?

Only Song Jiaqi, who had received the “gift,” frowned and opened the bag to look. The streetlights shone brightly from behind, illuminating the paper covers of the books in the bag. The plastic film refracted the light, delivering the clearly printed titles into Song Jiaqi’s eyes.

• • Invincible (Reborn)

• • Rebirth: A Second Chance

• • Just a Mere Supporting Female Character, About to Become a God

Beneath each bizarre title, the source X Jiang Literature City was clearly printed.

Song Jiaqi: “…………”

What on earth is this?

Chi Meng: Woman, are you satisfied with what you see?

I thought I wouldn’t be able to update, but I did~ Ehe! The book titles were made up randomly, hahaha.
