0713: You who shine in the parallel world

Chen Chusheng was slightly taken aback, because he had always been very clear about what he wanted. His first choice to have a face-to-face meeting with Yu Yu meant that he wanted to directly designate Yu Yu later. Who would have thought that Yu Yu would now tell him not to choose him.

"You mean, choose Yuan Yuan first?" Chen Chusheng noticed that Yu Yu hadn't mentioned Zhang Yuan.

But Yu Yu shook her head again: "Yuanyuan might not be selected by us."

He didn't speak too bluntly, since they were still recording a show. If they were in private, he might have directly analyzed why this was happening, but now, he could only say to his older brother, "Chusheng, do you believe me?"

"Is that even a question?" Chen Chu nodded naturally.

"That's good. I'm glad you chose me for the interview, so I can help you come up with some ideas. If I'm wrong and Yuanyuan is kept, you can definitely choose Yuanyuan without hesitation. But if my guess is right... you can choose him or him."

Yu Yu picked out two of the photos of her brothers from all the photos on the table and placed them in front of Chen Chusheng.

Chen Chusheng looked at the photo but did not speak immediately.

He initially thought that even if Yu Yu advised him not to choose any of them, she would recommend him to start with Li Jiuzhe and Cai Guoqin, with whom he had worked in the second or first round. Choosing them was indeed a conservative and safe strategy. However, Yu Yu was bolder, and this choice was unexpected. But given Yu Yu's background, it was quite reasonable.

Yu Yu knew what he was thinking: "With three rounds of competition and six teams, it's highly likely that each team will only have one stage. So we need not only vocal performance but also visual appeal. This one-way selection is an excellent opportunity that they can't refuse."

In Yu Yu's case, "they" refers not only to the chosen brothers, but also to the production team. They cannot go back on their word and make Chen Chusheng choose again because of his choice. Although they are shameless, they still need to put on a show of fairness and impartiality.

Chen Chusheng seemed to understand Yu Yu's meaning, and he joked, "This seems like a forced marriage, it's not sweet."

"What's that saying again? Bitter fruit is still fruit. Look at those two brothers among us, aren't they doing quite well now? Besides, it wasn't necessarily forced." Yu Yu winked at him.

Afterwards, Yu Yu left Chen Chusheng's training room and returned to her original position in the hall.

The moment he sat down, Wang Yuexin rushed over, her puppy-dog eyes fixed on him, asking anxiously, "What do you mean? What advice did your clever little brain give your brother?"

"Brother Sheng, will you be chosen directly later?" Li Jiuzhe asked curiously.

Since Lao Jiu became the new captain and designated Tang Yuzhe in the one-way selection, Su Xiaoding and Li Jiuzhe, who realized that Lao Jiu wanted to reorganize the "Up and Down the Mountain" team for the first public performance, had long been inclined to Lao Jiu's new team.

On the very day that the second round of competitions ended, the Chen Chusheng tribe, which had just won the first place, fell apart that very night. It was as if winning the first place in the second round was just a formality, without bringing any subsequent impact or preferential treatment. They even had to be ranked last in the selection process.

“No, I suggest he don’t choose me directly.” Yu Yu shook his head. With the other teams still around, he didn’t reveal that besides himself, he also advised Chen Chusheng not to choose Wang Yuexin or Yu Haoming.

"Oh, you guys have to choose Brother Yuan first, let Brother Yuan go home." Su Xiaoding thought he understood Yu Yu and Chen Chusheng's actions. Of course, it's not surprising that he misunderstood. After all, given the relationship between these brothers, choosing Zhang Yuan was the most reasonable and normal thing to do.

"That's good. Yuanyuan, you can come back now. You were clamoring to take over the Shengge tribe back then, but it didn't work out. Now it's the same if we take over you instead." Yu Haoming leaned against the table and teased Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan said with an arrogant look, "I disagree. You can't force a relationship. I will endure hardship and make a comeback one day!"

Wang Yuexin sat next to Yu Yu, feeling that something was off. He nudged Yu Yu's arm and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yu, you have so many tricks up your sleeve. Did you really just let Brother Sheng choose Yuan Yuan after you went in?"

Look at that, no wonder he's a die-hard fan and brother of Q God, he sees Yu Yu's character so clearly.

Yu Yu smiled ambiguously and meaningfully, without giving a direct answer: "Actually, it still depends on what our brother chooses. My suggestion is just a suggestion. You know his personality. If he has already made up his mind, there's nothing I can do."

In fact, the captains in the other training rooms could also think of the obvious choice that most people could make. After Zhang Yuan's team disbanded, Zhang Yuan would definitely be among the candidates for Chen Chusheng's designated person. In fact, there was a high probability that he would choose Zhang Yuan first.

At least that's what Wang Yaoqing thought, sitting alone in the training room looking at Zhang Yuan's photo.

He had long known that Zhang Yuan's tribe wouldn't last long; the production team had subtly hinted at it even before the second performance. He believed that not only him, but the other pre-selected team leaders had also been hinted at, but whether they could understand the production team's hints depended on each of them.

Some people pretend not to understand, while others understand and are somewhat emboldened by it; Wang Yaoqing is the latter.

He knew that even if he was last in the second round, nothing would happen to him; the path ahead had already been paved.

However, the failure of the second performance made him realize that on the stage of "Pigeon," stage presence, the members' skills, and their popularity are all indispensable. Currently, in his team during the second performance, the members' singing and dancing abilities are uneven, and their overall popularity can only be considered mediocre. If he wants to bounce back and stage a comeback in the third performance, he must first screen the team members.

He Zhancheng definitely needs to be kept in his grasp, and after Zhang Yuan's team disbanded, Ma Xiaolong also became a free agent. If given the opportunity, he would also like to bring Ma Shi into his fold, so that the only two dancers in this season of the Pico would be in his team, and his stage would have more possibilities.

As for singers, he wanted Yu Yu, a treasure who could amaze and amaze on every stage. Moreover, once Yu Yu was chosen in the one-way selection, he couldn't refuse and could only serve him.

However, just as Yu Yu had predicted, Wang Yaoqing wanted to use him, but dared not. His strength was too great and too dazzling. As long as Yu Yu came, he would definitely not be able to suppress him. At that time, there was a possibility that he, as the captain, might be sidelined.

Even Hu Yanbin, who was in another room, had to reluctantly put Yu Yu's photo aside.

As for the people in his original team, Zhang Dongliang, Apu, and Shin, Shin has already been designated by Lin Zhiying, while compared to Apu, Zhang Dongliang, who is also involved in the acting field, is easier to manipulate due to his gentle and kind nature...

At this moment, Wang Yaoqing took Zhang Yuan's photo and put it in front of him. As everyone knows, Zhang Yuan can sing and dance, and he is not a troublemaker like Yu Yu.

The show's subtle hints before the second performance, and the subsequent disbandment of Zhang Yuan's team, confirm Wang Yaoqing's suspicions—if left unchecked, the threat posed by team leaders Chen Chusheng and Zhang Yuan would be too great for the pre-selected members. The show's producers didn't want to see half of the Pi Ge San team ultimately being from 0705, so either Chen Chusheng's or Zhang Yuan's team would inevitably disband.

However, if Zhang Yuan were to return to Chen Chusheng's tribe after the disbandment, it would be tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

The production team doesn't want to see this happen, but they don't know if the other team leaders can understand this.

Before making a decision, Wang Yaoqing realized that he might have another option, one that could both strengthen himself and weaken the rival dark horse, killing two birds with one stone.

He made a decision.

The men in black who were "escorting" the brothers in the hall came to Zhang Yuan's side and "invited" the bewildered Zhang Yuan onto the stage, where he successfully teamed up with Wang Yaoqing.

The entire audience was stunned for a moment, followed by a burst of strange screams, second only to the time when Cai Guoqin plopped down in seat 0705, eliminating the possibility of their first joint performance.

On stage, Zhang Yuan smiled helplessly, while Wang Yuexin, who was frozen in the audience, was being shaken wildly by Yu Haoming. He genuinely believed that after Zhang Yuan's team disbanded, they could finally work together on a 0705 stage.

Yu Yu, on the other hand, clapped for them with a beaming smile, though it was unclear whether she was congratulating Zhang Yuan or Wang Yaoqing; in any case, her expression revealed nothing.

But he believed that when Chen Chusheng in the practice room heard the news that Zhang Yuan had joined Wang Yaoqing's tribe, he would understand what he meant.

The second person to be chosen, Hu Yanbin, smiled and sighed that he was a step too late, as if he regretted not being able to choose Zhang Yuan. But he quickly made his choice afterward, as if he had never considered Zhang Yuan at all.

He chose Lu Yi.

When it was Chen Chusheng's turn, no one really cared who he would choose. In their opinion, he would just randomly pick one of the remaining 0705 students, and that person would most likely be Yu Yu.

"Then, see you later?" Wang Yuexin tentatively looked at Yu Yu.

"No need to wait, we can see each other right now." Yu Yu shrugged.

Wang Yuexin blinked and began to grin mischievously: "Wait, what kind of love potion did you give Sheng-ge?"

Yu Yu did not give a direct answer, because the man in black who had walked over had already provided the answer.

They went straight to the table diagonally behind Chen Chusheng's village and stood behind a man wearing a baseball cap.

"Brother He Zhancheng, please follow the man in black to the stage to meet up with Captain Chen Chusheng."

"?!?!" The entire room erupted in uproar, again.

Wang Yuexin was stunned for a moment before slapping Yu Yu's arm hard: "Xiaoyu, wow, Xiaoyu, Brother Sheng, ah, you guys, you guys are truly amazing!"

"Little Fish, you're really something," Yu Haoming exclaimed in admiration.

Not to mention those few people who cared about Chen Chusheng's tribe, even He Zhancheng, the "designated person for Wang Yaoqing's tribe," was somewhat bewildered.

He is Wang Yaoqing's teammate. This was arranged by the production team. Although it was not officially announced by the production team, everyone else already knew it.

Who would have thought that Wang Yaoqing had just poached Zhang Yuan, and Chen Chusheng had "forcibly" snatched He Zhancheng away right after?

Although He Zhancheng may not seem to have much influence in Wang Yaoqing's tribe, his role is actually much more significant than it appears on the surface. He is essentially responsible for all the choreography in Wang Yaoqing's tribe. Chen Chusheng's move can be described as digging up a pillar that supports Wang Yaoqing's tribe.
