"Here you are. Sit down and eat."
His mom came out of the kitchen and greeted him as soon as she saw him.
Su Lingyue seemed to have woken up from a dream. She blushed when she saw the strange look in Su Ping's eyes. Then, she glared back at him.
Su Ping curled his lips. He sat down at the table, picked up a meat bun, and began to eat.
His mom came over to serve him some porridge. Su Ping told her about his plan to buy a TV for the store and asked her to do it for him. He had to drive Su Lingyue out during the day and he didn't have time to do that. It would be too troublesome to hire someone online. After all, installing the TV was a small matter.
His mom asked for the reason. When she learned that it was to increase the store's business, she agreed without hesitation and said that she could take care of it.
She had seen the long line of customers outside the store every day. She didn't know how to surf the Internet but she could understand the customers in front of her. She was proud of her son's business acumen. Therefore, she didn't doubt Su Ping's words at all.
Su Lingyue heard her mom complimenting Su Ping's business acumen. She couldn't help but look at the two of them. She wondered what her mom would think if she knew that Su Ping had hired a top star to endorse the store and that he could guarantee that the store could win the selection.
Su Lingyue thought of that top star but she didn't say anything. She knew that Su Ping didn't want to tell her mom too much about the store. He didn't want her to be worried.
They went out after breakfast.
"Drive slowly. Don't rush. We'll make it," her mom said.
The two agreed and entered the war chariot.
After the car drove out of the street, Su Lingyue sat in the passenger seat and asked the question that she had wanted to ask at the dinner table. She asked curiously, "Didn't Mu Shuangwan, who was the spokesperson for your store, breach the contract and will no longer be the spokesperson? What happened after that?"
"What else? That's it," Su Ping answered casually.
Su Ping said casually. He looked straight ahead, fully demonstrating the qualities of a qualified driver.
"That's it? Does that mean that the contract was terminated? "
"Yes."
"Well …"
Su Lingyue didn't expect that Su Ping would break the contract. That was adding insult to injury.
She was angry. She could bully Su Ping, but she wouldn't allow others to do so.
"I used to like her. I didn't know that she was like this. Humph, I will never buy her album again!" Su Lingyue said with hatred, as if she were the one whose contract had been terminated.
Su Ping darted a glance at her. He thought to himself, I don't need the money for your album.
But then again, Su Lingyue was speaking up for him, even though he wasn't touched at all.
"You're quite free to care about this. Don't you have to compete today?"
"You! I'm speaking up for you, okay? "
"You won the championship for me. That's more important than anything else."
"…"
Su Lingyue was speechless. She was even angrier. She turned around.
Since the car was quiet again, Su Ping turned on the music and swayed to the rhythm. He was in a good mood.
On the other hand, there were dark clouds and flashes of lightning.
…
The main venue.
The audience was still full, even more enthusiastic than the day before.
But there were very few people in the staging area. Only a hundred people were left.
The staging area could accommodate thousands of people, but there were only a hundred people sitting there. Inevitably, it was a bit desolate, a sharp contrast to the lively audience.
Su Ping sent Su Lingyue to the staging area. He looked at her and said, "Focus. Don't be careless."
Su Lingyue nodded with a serious look in her eyes.
She didn't have a good time on the way to the venue. But when she arrived, her mind was completely focused on the game. She remembered Su Ping's words very carefully.
"Go."
After Su Lingyue left, Su Ping found a seat for the family. That day, the number of family members didn't decrease. On the contrary, the number had increased. The participants who had been defeated in the previous thousand were still allowed to bring their family members and they themselves had the right to come to the family members' seats.
As time went on, more and more people came to the venue.
The family members' seats were almost full.
Qin Shuhai didn't come to see Su Ping that day. Su Ping was happy to have some peace and quiet. He looked around the venue. Soon, he saw Fei Yanbo. It seemed that Fei Yanbo had arrived late. He had just entered the venue with his son and some other students who had failed.
Apart from Luo Fengtian and the girl with the ponytail, the others had all been defeated and had come to watch.
Fei Yanbo also saw Su Ping in the crowd. However, the seats around Su Ping were full. Fei Yanbo nodded to Su Ping from afar as a way of greeting and then took his students to another seat.
"Molly, let me tell you something. I was so close to getting one point yesterday. Too bad I ran into that freak from the Ye family. Otherwise, I would have been able to get on the stage as well!"
It was a young man sitting next to Su Ping.
He seemed to have been influenced by the warm atmosphere. His voice was filled with excitement and a bit of reluctance to admit defeat.
"Yes! I knew it. You're good. I've always been a good judge of character! "
A sweet female voice said in a reverent tone.
"Ha, ha, of course. It's a pity that I'm too old for the next Championship. Otherwise, I would have been able to make it to the Top 10!"
The young man was even more proud under his girlfriend's adoring eyes.
Su Ping turned around. He didn't expect to see a couple sitting next to him. He had a feeling that he was going to be abused.
As expected, the two of them continued to flirt with each other. Su Ping's nerves were constantly being attacked.
All of a sudden, Su Ping missed the feeling of having Qin Shuhai and Fei Yanbo sitting next to him.
Soon, the competition began.
The commentator was still the first to go on stage. He read out the rules.
That day, the competition would be held. One hundred participants would be divided into ten groups.
Each group of ten participants would face off against each other and be eliminated. The winners of the group competition would advance to the Top 10. In the finals of the group competition, the loser would have one more chance to fight against the loser of the other group.
The loser of the other group would have the chance to make it to the Top 10.
The winner would be able to make it to the Top 10.
This was an insurance rule to prevent two of the strongest experts from appearing in a group.
After the rules were read out, it was time for the cheerleaders to warm up.
A group of hot cheerleaders went on stage. The fabric they were wearing wasn't even as much as Su Ping's long sleeves. They danced sexy in the center of the stage.
Many parents in the audience hurried to cover their children's eyes while they watched with great interest through binoculars.
Su Ping was enjoying the show as well.
However, a battle suddenly broke out.
"Are they good-looking?"
"Huh? Of course … not. You're not as good-looking as you. "
"Oh, so you've been watching them carefully?"
Dangerous!
"No, no, I'm just looking. In my mind, Jasmine, you're the most good-looking person in the world."
"Really? In your mind? Are you saying that I'm not as good-looking as they are?"
"I …"
After a "gentle and friendly" conversation, the couple soon fell into a cold war.
All of a sudden, Su Ping felt as if he had eaten a bucket of popsicles on a hot summer day. He felt refreshed from head to toe. Being single had its benefits!
After the cheerleaders' warm up, the atmosphere became more intense than ever.
Next, the Top 100 would be divided into groups by drawing lots.
The names were randomly selected.
When some of the favorites were picked out, the audience cheered in surprise.
As for the other contestants who had been assigned to the same group as that person, their expressions immediately turned ugly.
Soon, Su Ping saw that Su Lingyue was in Group D.
The others in her group all looked awful. It wasn't because of Su Lingyue, but because there were two popular candidates in that group!
One was Qin Shaotian!
He was ranked eighth among the favorites!
Of course, that was only the ranking on the Internet. The other contestants knew that Qin Shaotian was the future family head of the Qin Family. He didn't show much in the previous hunting match. His performance was mediocre, which was why he had a low number of votes.
After all, most of the voters were civilians. They didn't know the ropes. They could only judge the winner based on the strength they displayed in the battles.
