"You're here. Sit down and eat."
His mother came out of the kitchen and greeted Su Ping as soon as she saw him.
Su Lingyue came back to her senses as well. When she saw Su Ping's strange look, she blushed and glared back at him.
Su Ping curled his lips and sat down at the table. He picked up a meat bun and began to eat.
When his mother came over to get some porridge, Su Ping told her about the idea of buying a TV for the store. He wanted her to do it for him. He had to drive Su Lingyue out during the day so he didn't have time. It would be too troublesome to hire someone online. After all, installing a TV was just a small matter.
His mother asked for the reason and was told that he wanted to increase business for the store. She agreed without hesitation and said, "You can count on me."
She had seen the crowded scene outside the store every day. She didn't know how to surf the Internet but she could see the real customers in front of her. She was very proud of her son's business acumen. Therefore, she didn't doubt Su Ping's words at all.
Su Lingyue heard her mother complimenting Su Ping's business acumen. She couldn't help but glance at the two of them. She cursed in her mind. What would her mother think if she knew that Su Ping had hired a top star to endorse the store and that the store would be guaranteed to be the winner of the contest?
Su Lingyue thought of that star but she didn't say anything. She knew that Su Ping didn't want to reveal too much about the store to her mother in case she would be worried.
After breakfast, the two of them went out.
"Drive slowly. Don't be in a hurry. We'll make it in time," their mother reminded them.
The two of them agreed and got into the car.
After the car drove out of the street, Su Lingyue sat in the front passenger seat and asked the question that she wanted to ask at the dinner table. She asked curiously, "Didn't Mu Shuangwan, the one who endorsed your store, say that she would no longer endorse the store? What happened?"
"What else? That's all."
Su Ping answered casually without looking sideways, fully demonstrating the qualities of a qualified driver.
"That's all? So, the contract was terminated? "
"Yes."
"This …"
Su Lingyue didn't expect that the other party would break the contract. That was adding insult to injury.
She was a little angry. She could bully Su Ping, but others could not bully him like this.
"I used to like her. I didn't know she was such a person. Humph, I won't buy her albums anymore!" Su Lingyue said with hatred, as if she were the one who had been terminated.
Su Ping glanced at her, thinking that she didn't lack the money for this album.
But when he thought about it, the latter was speaking up for him, even though he wasn't touched at all.
"You seem to have a lot of free time to care about this. Don't you have to compete today?"
"You! I'm speaking up for you! "
"You've won the championship for me, more than anything else."
"…"
Su Lingyue was rendered speechless. She was even angrier.
Seeing that the car was quiet again, Su Ping turned on the music with his fingers and swayed to the rhythm. He felt very comfortable.
Next to him was a patch of dark clouds and lightning.
…
At the headquarters.
The auditorium was still full, even more enthusiastic than the day before.
However, there were very few people in the staging area. There were only a hundred people left.
The staging area was large enough to accommodate thousands of people. With only a hundred people sitting there, it was a stark contrast to the lively auditorium.
Su Ping walked Su Lingyue to the staging area. He looked at her and said, "Focus. Don't be careless."
Su Lingyue nodded. There was a serious look in her eyes.
She didn't have a good time on the way. But when she arrived at the venue, her mind was completely focused on the competition. She remembered Su Ping's words very well.
"Go."
After seeing Su Lingyue off, Su Ping found a seat for himself in the family seats. Today, the number of people in the family seats increased. The contestants who had been defeated in the top 1000 were still allowed to bring their family members to watch the competition. They also had the right to sit in the family seats.
As time went by, more and more people came to the venue.
The family seats were almost fully occupied.
Today, Qin Shuhai didn't come to Su Ping. Su Ping was glad to have some peace and quiet. He looked around the venue. Soon, he saw Fei Yanbo. He seemed to have arrived late and had just entered the venue. Fei Yanbo was with Fei Yanbo's son and some other students who had failed to make it to the finals.
Apart from Luo Fengtian and another girl with a ponytail, the others had all failed. They had all come to watch the competition.
Fei Yanbo found Su Ping in the crowd. However, since the seats around Su Ping were full, Fei Yanbo had to nod to him as a greeting. Then, Fei Yanbo took his students to find another seat.
"Jasmine, let me tell you something. I was so close to getting in yesterday. Unfortunately, I was unlucky enough to run into that freak from the Ye family. Otherwise, I would have been able to get on the stage today!"
A young man sitting next to Su Ping said all of a sudden.
He seemed to have been affected by the enthusiastic atmosphere. His voice was filled with excitement and only a little bit of unwillingness.
"Yes! I knew it. You are good. I have always been a good judge of character! "
A sweet female voice beside him said in a respectful tone.
"Ha, ha, of course. It is a pity that I will be older in the next Elite League. Otherwise, I will be able to make it to the Top 10!"
The young man became more and more confident as his girlfriend looked at him with adoration.
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 continued to be lovey-dovey, attacking Su Ping's nerves.
All of a sudden, Su Ping missed the days when Qin Shuhai and Fei Yanbo were sitting next to him.
Soon, the competition began.
The first one to go on stage was still the commentator who announced the rules.
Today, the competition would be one-on-one. The one hundred participants would be divided into ten groups.
Every group of ten would fight against each other in pairs. The winners of the group matches would make it to the Top 10. In the finals of the group matches, the losers would have another chance to fight against each other.
That was, they would have to fight against the loser of another group.
The winner would be qualified to make it to the Top 10.
That was a safety rule in case there would be two most powerful participants in a group.
After the rules were announced, it was time for the cheerleaders to warm up the audience.
A group of cheerleaders with hot figures went on stage. Their clothes were not as thick as Su Ping's long sleeves. They danced sensually in the middle 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 enjoyed it as well.
However, a fight broke out next to him.
"Are they pretty?"
"What? Well … Of course not. They are not as pretty as you. "
"Oh, so you are looking very carefully?"
Danger!
"No, of course not. I am just looking. In my mind, you are the prettiest in the world."
"Really? Just in your mind? Are you saying that I am not as pretty as them?"
"I …"
After the "gentle and friendly" conversation, the couple 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!
The cheerleaders' warm-up was over. The audience was in an uplifting mood.
Next, the Top 100 would draw lots to determine the groups.
One by one, the names were chosen at random.
When some of the favorites were picked out, the audience burst into a round of exclamations.
As for the other contestants who were assigned to the same group as this person, their expressions immediately turned ugly.
Soon, Su Ping saw that Su Lingyue was in Group D.
The people in the same group as Su Lingyue were pulling long faces. It wasn't because of Su Lingyue, but because there were two popular candidates in the group!
One was Qin Shaotian!
He was the eighth favorite!
Of course, that was just the ranking on the Internet. But the other contestants all knew that Qin Shaotian was the future family head of the Qin Family. He didn't show any strength in the previous hunting matches.
After all, most of the people who voted were civilians. They didn't know anything about the rules. They could only judge based on the performance of the contestants.
