Class F moved very quickly. In less than 20 minutes, everyone had gathered.
Qi Xingchen said, "You all know what's going to be recorded tomorrow, right?"
"Yes!"
Qi Xingchen: "What do you think?"
Wu Qian guessed for a moment: "Prepare to leave early so that you won't be eliminated too suddenly?"
"…" Qi Xingchen wanted to send him home now.
"Tomorrow, after you're divided into teams and practice with your teammates, everyone will gather in this practice room," Qi Xingchen said, "Everyone will study together and help each other. It will be more efficient."
"But …" Wu Qian said weakly, "This time, the top 12 trainees will choose their own team members. It's very difficult for Class F to be in the same group. I don't know what kind of team leader we'll meet. What if the team leader is more hardworking and asks the team members to practice together until midnight or something … "
"Then you'll practice later than them."
Although it was unpleasant to say, Qi Xingchen had to say, "No matter which team you're in, you'll be the one who slows down the progress. When it's the live performance, the audience will see it clearly. So, for the team and for ourselves, we trainees with a lower starting point must work harder than those with a higher starting point. "
"Starting tomorrow night, I'll follow your practice. Whether you practice until one o 'clock or five o' clock in the morning, I'll leave when the last person leaves. "
"Okay, go back and have a good sleep today," Qi Xingchen took a deep breath and said seriously, "Are you ready to fight?"
"Ready!"
"Louder," he repeated, "Are you ready to fight?!"
"It's — ready — for — you!"
"Okay." Qi Xingchen was satisfied and let go of these poor kids.
In fact, the fight mode was even crueler for Qi Xingchen. The trainees only needed to practice one song of their own, but he needed to learn all six songs to be able to guide the trainees when they didn't know how to do it.
Now that there were only two days left, he quickly found Lei Zi, the substitute choreographer, to copy all the videos and audio of the six songs and hurried back to the hotel.
Fortunately, he had the foundation of the shock training before he came to , so his learning ability had always been at its peak. In about three hours, he would be able to finish the entire dance. He would be able to sing the vocal parts and music score. Seven hours later, he finished two songs.
Sweating profusely, he looked at the time. It was already ten o 'clock at night.
Why is it so late … Bai Ye still hasn't come to deliver milk to me?
Could it be that he stayed in Class D?
But in the afternoon, he clearly heard the sound of the door opening.
Qi Xingchen went into the bathroom and took a shower. When he came out, he could not help but feel thirsty.
He really wanted to drink … milk.
The kind that Bai Ye gave her.
He hesitated for a long time and decided to go to the opposite side to ask about the situation. He threw down the towel and opened the door.
Coincidentally, the opposite door also opened, but the person who came out was not the owner of the room.
Wei Qin stopped in his tracks and said lightly, "You haven't slept yet."
Qi Xingchen replied with a "Mm". "I'm going … downstairs to talk to my agent about something. I can't chat with you anymore, I'm leaving. "
With that, he walked straight to the elevator. When he entered the elevator, his tense shoulders relaxed.
… It's so late, why did Wei Qin come out of Bai Ye's room?
What did they do? Chat? Have a midnight snack? Or … something more intimate?
No!
As soon as these thoughts appeared, Qi Xingchen immediately suppressed them and scolded himself for being too stingy.
Wei Qin was also a fan of Bai Ye. If he could go to Bai Ye's room, why couldn't Wei Qin?
And it seemed that they were old friends, so it was normal for them to find time to get together. Why was he being jealous here!
Qi Xingchen complained to himself as he got out of the elevator. The elevator stopped on the first floor, and he walked aimlessly for a few rounds before going upstairs to his room.
That night, he didn't receive any milk from Bai Ye.
Maybe it was because there was no milk to help him sleep, but that was the worst night he had slept recently.
.
After recording the segment of the trainees' groups in the morning, Qi Xingchen invited the diamond mine manager for lunch to save time.
The manager was in his fifties, surnamed Wu, and had a wife and children. He would never be misunderstood by entertainment reporters. Therefore, he chose the location very casually and found a Chinese restaurant next to the studio.
Manager Wu returned to China yesterday and took the high-speed train to S City this morning. His professionalism left him with only a few strands of hair on his head. Qi Xingchen, out of humanitarianism, ordered a few plates of food that helped with hair growth and asked with concern, "Are you used to life in Africa?"
"It was okay at first, but I gradually got used to it. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qi." Manager Wu paused. "Now I'll report to you about the second quarter's operation."
The Qi family only took over the diamond mine in the second quarter, so his report was mainly about the mining volume, production capacity, and other aspects compared to the first quarter. The result was that the second quarter's operation was better than the first, but they didn't make any money.
That was because the diamonds mined, except for the small broken diamonds, were all used to customize a handset for Mr. Qi.
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
After writing the report, Manager Wu took out a box and handed it to him with both hands. "This is the output of our diamond mine for the first half of the year."
Qi Xingchen could totally imagine how tacky and eye-catching the contents inside were. He opened the box with slight disgust.
However, to his surprise, the handset was very beautiful!
It was made of silver zinc alloy and embedded with finely cut, uniform diamonds of high clarity. The distribution of the diamonds was irregular and streamlined, like a crystal clear spring. It had a vivid beauty.
The core and wire were made of the best materials in the world, and a smart computer version was installed inside. The sound pickup and noise reduction effects were world-class.
The switch of the microphone was made of a blue diamond cut in the shape of Xing Xing. Needless to say, one could tell who the handset belonged to at a glance.
Manager Wu couldn't help but click his tongue. Others didn't know how precious it was, but he knew all too well.
Not to mention anything else, just the blue Xing Xing diamond alone could easily be sold at a price of several million yuan at an auction.
Qi Xingchen really didn't know anything about diamonds. He played with it repeatedly with joy. Manager Wu saw that he liked it and smiled. "The outer shell of the microphone was designed by my wife. I was afraid that you wouldn't like it, but now I'm relieved."
"Your wife?"
"Yes, she's a jewelry designer. She has designed many diamond necklaces and rings, but this is the first time she's drawn a blueprint for a microphone. I'm going home this time mainly to accompany her to a party of a French friend. "
At the mention of a "French friend," Qi Xingchen blurted out, "Could it be Ka Mier, the operations manager of Après?"
Manager Wu was surprised. "It's her!"
Then they would have a chance to meet soon. Qi Xingchen had also received an invitation from Ka Mier not long ago. However, he wanted to tease Manager Wu, so he didn't mention it.
After lunch, Qi Xingchen and Manager Wu walked out together. When they turned the corner of the stairs, they suddenly saw a familiar face.
Wei Qin also had lunch at the same restaurant!
Last night at the door, he said a few words and left. Later on, he thought it was impolite. Qi Xingchen was about to have a good chat with Wei Qin, but Manager Wu spoke first. "Young Master Wei, I didn't expect to see you here. What a coincidence!"
"Yes, Uncle Wu." Wei Qin smiled reservedly. "I heard from my father that you've returned to China. I was about to hold a welcome dinner for you. When are you free?"
"I'm afraid I can't …"
Manager Wu wiped the sweat off his forehead. In front of his boss, he didn't dare to get too close to other companies.
"Okay, then I'll ask my assistant to arrange another time with you." Wei Qin glanced at Qi Xingchen. "Since you're busy, I won't bother you. Goodbye, Uncle Wu."
"Okay, okay, goodbye."
Manager Wu said goodbye to Wei Qin. The two of them didn't mention Qi Xingchen from beginning to end. Qi Xingchen was like a human-shaped pillar, listening with great interest.
After Wei Qin walked away, Qi Xingchen asked curiously, "Uncle Wu, do you know each other?"
"… Why are you calling me Uncle Wu? Just call me Old Wu!"
Manager Wu quickly waved his hand and explained, "He's the son of Xiang Ying Jewelry. My wife has designed several jewelry for his family. In recent years, Xiang Ying has been looking for high-end diamond raw materials. I heard that our Qi Corporation took down a diamond mine. Chairman Wei came to Chairman Qi to discuss cooperation, but was rejected by Chairman Qi. Later, they found me through my wife and wanted me to say a few good words to Chairman Qi … I never agreed. Don't misunderstand, Little President Qi! "
With the over-exploitation of mineral resources, the price of diamonds was rising year by year. It was getting harder and harder to get high-quality diamond raw materials. Generally, diamond mines were signed with companies. Now that there was a new mine owner, it was normal for Wei Qin's father to be eager to cooperate with the Qi Corporation.
Unfortunately, Chairman Qi didn't do his job and got all the love diamonds of thousands of girls' dreams into his son's handset. Qi Xingchen was a little distressed about his father's money. He sent the driver, Old Qin, to take Manager Wu to the high-speed railway station. He walked back to the studio with his hand on his chest.
Before the start of the afternoon recording, he was very hesitant to take out the handset.
On second thought, this was his brother's kindness. If his brother knew that he accepted it but didn't use it, he might misunderstand that he didn't like it.
How sad would his brother be?
Qi Xingchen sighed, gritted his teeth, took out the handset, and went to talk to the sound engineer about changing to a personal microphone.
The sound engineer was adjusting the circuit of the incandescent lamp when a beam of light suddenly shone into his eyes. He exclaimed, "Who turned on the flashlight! Turn it off! "
Qi Xingchen quickly covered the microphone and apologized repeatedly.
The sound engineer rubbed his eyes and realized that it wasn't someone who had turned on the flashlight, but the shiny thing in Xing Guang's observer's hand. He smacked his lips. "It's not a problem to change to a personal microphone. Connect it to your Bluetooth. The password is six eight … What's on your microphone? Why is it so shiny?"
"… Crystal, artificial crystal." Qi Xingchen fooled him.
Unfortunately, he could fool rough men, but he couldn't fool women. Chen Jiayi saw his microphone and her eyes widened. "Oh my God! Xing Xing, what are you doing? Isn't this too extravagant?! "
Qi Xingchen: "Huh?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at the clarity, look at the cutting …" She pointed at the big three-carat diamonds on the microphone. "You're actually willing to put them on the microphone. The market price for one is about 200,000 yuan. What a waste!"
Qi Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was attracted by the big diamonds and didn't notice the blue and small diamonds.
Otherwise, he would be scolded to death.
.
In the afternoon, they recorded a small interactive segment. Then, the trainees began to practice their performance.
All the classes were separated during the grouping. The instructors didn't need to follow specific classes. The five of them inspected the practice rooms one by one and strolled all the way to the activity room.
To their surprise, they found an automatic mahjong machine lying in the middle of the activity room! It was probably prepared for the trainees' spare time. Mahjong, chips, dice … everything was available!
Chen Jiayi was from Sichuan. When she saw the mahjong machine, a row of nails grew from the soles of her feet. She rubbed her hands and said, "Since we have nothing to do, why don't we play a few rounds?"
The assistant following behind them found good material and helped Chen Jiayi think.
What could the rest of them do? They could only agree.
As the initiator, Bai Ye needed to supervise the trainees' practice from time to time. He couldn't sit at the table. Therefore, Jung Yuyang, Qi Xingchen, Wei Qin, and Chen Jiayi sat on the four sides. They set the stakes for the winner and drew on the loser's face.
Qi Xingchen immediately became timid. He had played mahjong a few times at class gatherings before. Other than that, he had no experience. He didn't even know how to win.
… He didn't want to be drawn as a ghost!
Qi Xingchen hesitated. "Brother Ye, why don't you play? I'm afraid that when the program is broadcast, my face will leave a shadow on the audience and affect the program's image."
"…" Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh at his frightened tone. "It's okay. Play well. If you lose, it's on me. If you win, it's on you."
"Aiyo, can you be more fair?" Jung Yuyang pretended to be jealous. "You two should be a family. You even brought two people together."
What they were doing was indeed unfair. Bai Ye changed his mind. "Then I'll just take the punishment for him and not say anything. Is that okay?"
"Yes, yes." Chen Jiayi was anxious. "Come, come, come, play your cards!"
As it turned out, Little Brother Qi was indeed a terrible mahjong player.
In the first round, he made a move on Chen Jiayi. Three cat whiskers appeared on Bai Ye's left face.
In the second round, he made a move on Jung Yuyang. Bai Ye's right face instantly became symmetrical.
In the third round, he …
A pair of virtual reality glasses appeared on Bai Ye's nose bridge.
Seeing Bai Ye's face gradually become more diverse, Qi Xingchen's heart ached for him, but he was also a little happy.
When he took the punishment for him, Bai Ye didn't show any reluctance. He even told him to relax and encouraged him to have fun.
Bai Ye was really good to him.
However, he couldn't just keep losing. He decided to change his strategy. He wouldn't win, but would play with the winner. He wouldn't try to win, but he wouldn't lose.
Finally, it was Wei Qin's turn to make a move on the fourth round. Qi Xingchen grinned. He turned around and extended his fist, wanting to punch Bai Ye in celebration.
However, Wei Qin's voice came from beside him. He said, "Brother Ye, my skin is allergic. Can you take the punishment for me too?"
The camera turned to Bai Ye. Everyone looked at him. Bai Ye was stunned. "… Okay, I can take the punishment for you …"
Qi Xingchen retracted his hand. The smile on his face gradually faded.
