Emotionally stable, but continuing to go crazy

The trainees expressed their choices one after another and discussed their favorite songs, creating a lively scene.

Li Jinhe smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding: "I hope that every trainee can choose the song they like and show their best side."

Then, Li Jinhe changed the subject and said seriously: "Next, I will announce the grouping rules."

The staff then walked onto the stage with two raffle boxes. Li Jinhe said, "Next, I will read out some trainees' names. Please come over here."

The trainees looked at each other and exchanged glances, feeling somewhat confused by Li Jinhe's actions and not knowing what would happen next.

Li Jinhe began to read out the names one by one: "Wei Zhe'an, Xu Wenbin, Tong Yang, Lin Muqiu, Cao Fei, Zhou Hongyi, Yu Chi."

These names were the top seven on the overall ranking list. Although the trainees whose names were called didn't know what they were supposed to do, they followed Li Jinhe's instructions and walked aside.

The trainees couldn't help but whisper and speculate:

"Ah? What does this mean? Are we going to let them form a group of their own?"

"This combination is too strong, how can others defeat them?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't it said that there are six people in each group? Aren't there seven people? How do you explain it?"

"Are they to be the captains and then select people to join the team?"

"If that's the case, I hope I can be chosen by the boss!"

Amid the discussions of the trainees, Li Jinhe continued to read out another string of names: "Duan Fan, Qiao Gaoqin, Zhang Fengyuan, Chen Ke, Mu Yuanfan, Cui Zhengyi, Wang Quhong."

These trainees also walked to the side of the top seven trainees with doubts.

Everyone looked at the trainees standing aside, their hearts full of doubts, and they couldn't help but look at Li Jinhe, expecting him to give an answer.

Li Jinhe announced the rules in a calm tone: "In the first performance overall ranking, the top seven and bottom seven trainees will not be directly selected to join any team."

He pointed to a gray lottery box next to him and continued to explain: "When the other trainees have completed their selections, the team builder will randomly draw a trainee from this box. The selected trainee will join the team of trainees that have already formed a team."

This news immediately excited the trainees, and they started discussing:

"This way, we have a 50% chance of getting an all-around great guy!"

"Please, you must pick Wei Zhe'an!"

"Please ask the boss to take us flying!"

Of course, some people have expressed some concerns:

"However, it is possible that we could draw the students from the last seven."

Someone immediately retorted:

"What's wrong with the last seven? They may just not have an advantage in online voting, but it doesn't mean they are not strong enough."

"Indeed, everyone has different areas of expertise. Like Duan Fan, his dancing may not be very good, but his rap is superb."

Everyone is full of anticipation and curiosity about the upcoming grouping. Everyone hopes to team up with suitable teammates to present the best performance together.

Lee Jin-hak went on to explain the next process: "We will draw lots to determine the first trainee, and this trainee will have the right to choose four teammates from everyone. After the team is formed, we will draw lots again to determine the next trainee to join the team."

He then pulled out a slip of paper from a lottery box and announced loudly, "The first trainee to choose a song and team is - Sun Wenmao!"

Sun Wenmao himself was extremely surprised. He did not expect that he would have such an honor. He was not only the first to choose the song, but also to select his teammates personally.

The other trainees were envious, as they all understood the importance of having the first choice.

They began to realize that although the top seven trainees had privileges, other high-ranking trainees were also crucial. The further back the trainees were, the fewer options they had, and of course the last ones could only pick what others had left.

As expected, Sun Wenmao chose a Chinese song with relatively low difficulty, and wisely selected the only all-round student available, Liu Zhenyu, into his team.

This choice immediately caused a groan, because Liu Zhenyu was recognized as the strongest all-around student. Other trainees began to worry about their fate, worried that they would only be able to choose weaker teammates in the end, and the pressure of team formation instantly doubled.

"Oh, we can't be in the same group anymore. I don't want to leave you, my most super gentle mother in the universe!" Wei Zhe'an complained coquettishly while sitting in a wheelchair.

"You just can't be on the same stage with me. It's not a life-and-death separation. Don't be so exaggerated." Tong Yang smiled and comforted him.

Xu Wenbin also joined in the teasing: "Yes, you are a big kid now, you have to learn to be independent, understand?"

Wei Zhe'an fought back unyieldingly: "You are also an adult, can you walk independently like an adult? Don't always rely on your mother, Bin Dad!"

Tong Yang looked at the two of them singing in unison and couldn't help laughing out loud, looking at them with eyes full of doting.

Cao Fei also joined the discussion and wailed, "It's a pity to be separated, but what worries me most is that we might become rivals. Oh my God, this is too cruel!"

Although Zhou Hongyi felt a little regretful that he could not work with his friends on the same stage, he had no objection to the competition system: "It's not like we haven't been opponents before. This is normal. The key is to enjoy the process of the competition."

"I just hope I don't get the Russian song. I know nothing about Russian." Lin Muchu prayed.

“It should be possible to change it, right? But what about those who don’t speak Russian?” Yu Chi asked with some concern.

"I don't know, it doesn't matter. I'm in a bad mood now. As long as An An and I don't become opponents, it's fine." Cao Fei said dejectedly.

As the process progressed, trainees were selected one by one, and the fourteen groups gradually took shape. In the end, only the top seven and bottom seven trainees in the overall rankings were left to be selected.

This moment is undoubtedly the most exciting moment for all trainees.

Li Jinhe: "Now our fourteen teams have been selected. Next, please ask the creator to step forward——"

Fourteen people stepped forward, and Li Jinhe asked jokingly, "Who wants to draw first?"

The fourteen people were very enthusiastic: "Me, me, me!" "Teacher, I'll go first." "How about playing rock-paper-scissors?"

Li Jinhe looked at the person who suggested playing rock-paper-scissors with appreciation: "Oh, okay, then let's play rock-paper-scissors in order of win and lose."

The trainees were all cheering for their own team members, hoping to get someone with strong abilities. The two groups of trainees who were singing the Russian song were all disappointed. No one in the front row chose this song, as everyone knew it was too difficult.
