Before the person stepped down, the online forum exploded.

Several blurry videos were uploaded. Although the images were unclear, Zhang Liangying's gentle and soothing voice could be heard.

It's exploded, it's really exploded this time.

"Thank you, Liangying, for bringing us such a wonderful song! And thank you to the seven contestants for bringing us such a visual feast."

Li Xiang stepped to the front of the stage to begin the transition for the competition, moving on to the voting phase.

He was very nervous just now. The production team had told him to elevate Zhang Liangying so they could belittle her later, but she actually accepted it.

This not only failed, but it also boosted her fame to a new level.

He frantically tried to get a response from the production team through his earpiece, but the production team reacted even more strongly than he did, and nobody paid any attention to him.

I've come to terms with it now, and I'm not nervous anymore.

I just said whatever came to mind, as long as it's fair and doesn't offend any of the fans.

"Next, and this is the moment everyone's been waiting for: the voting! Please edit your message on your phone, select your favorite idol, and send it to the production team's back-end phone. We will announce the vote count results in one hour!"

Li Xiang finished speaking hastily and stepped off the stage, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

The seven people in the venue stood on the stage again, and Zhang Liangying, who wore the number seven badge tonight, was especially dazzling.

Everyone around her seemed like mere background figures. He Jie stood next to her with no presence at all, but she wasn't sad. Instead, she secretly gave Zhang Liangying a thumbs up.

This woman is amazing! He Jie was filled with admiration, but at the same time, she couldn't help but envy her for having Li Jun by her side. This man was so talented, and he could even do makeup and styling. If she were by her side, she would definitely have a bright future.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

If Li Jun were to have any designs on her, she probably wouldn't be able to resist the temptation and would give in.

Does Li Jun have no feelings for He Jie?

No, he simply felt that she wasn't quite right in the looks of him.

His aesthetic sense is top-notch; he won't accept anything even slightly subpar.

He Jie's small gesture of giving a thumbs up was still accurately captured by the TV station. Previously, someone on the forum had revealed that her relationship with Zhang Liangying was unusual and that they had even eaten together in private.

This further confirmed the netizens' guesses, sparking widespread discussion online.

Originally, the fans and the idols were teammates, and now that they're friends, the connection between them has become even closer.

The worst off was Li Yuchun, who stood there expressionless, without saying a word, and didn't even interact with the audience.

She knew perfectly well that all her online hype these past few days had been for nothing, and that Zhang Liangying had stolen the spotlight from her carefully prepared dance. After tonight, no one in the world would remember her; they would only remember Zhang Liangying for killing the competition with an original song.

She covered her face and took a deep breath.

Was she cursed? She felt a deep sense of frustration, even though the production team and she worked together to suppress Zhang Liangying.

In her opinion, the production team will definitely give up on preventing her from advancing, as the public opinion is too strong now.

Moreover, with this patriotic song out, who would dare to ban her?

A musical talent like her understands that Zhang Liangying's rendition of "Bauhinia" will surely have a long and lasting legacy.

Even without the show's promotion, CCTV will use this music to dub various promotional videos in the future. When people hear this familiar melody, they will wonder why Zhang Liangying was eliminated from Super Girl, and then they will angrily criticize Super Girl.

From the perspective of the show's long-term development, it is inappropriate to confront Zhang Liangying directly now.

Li Yuchun had considered these things.

In fact, Wang Peng, the chairman of Tianyu Entertainment, had taken all of this into account, but for him, it was already a path of no return.

Even if we stop targeting Zhang Liangying, we might not be able to gain her forgiveness. It would be unnecessary to ruin their Super Girl show after they become famous.

It would be better to be firm and gradually erase Zhang Liangying's influence, and then eventually impose a soft ban on her.

As for the opinions of the program team regarding the release of this song, it's just a matter of reducing the output, but the impact won't be too great, and we can still tolerate it.

Ultimately, it all comes down to losing out; it's just a matter of deciding whether to lose more or less.

Tianyu Entertainment hasn't given up yet!

Next up is an exciting hour of voting. This is just a small test to get used to the voting system for the regional finals.

There won't be any judges then; it will all depend on the fans' votes.

At that time, there were more options available, so the people at Tianyu Entertainment discussed it.

Zhang Liangying's new song is so powerful that it would be illogical not to let her advance. Putting her in second place would also be difficult for the audience to accept.

However, the best solution for the production team right now is to pretend to be dead and not respond, slowly letting things slide until the final match before cutting her off.

As for first place, it still goes to Li Yuchun.

The internet is already abuzz with reversals; if there's another one, it'll be even more exciting.

Wang Peng nodded silently, giving himself a thumbs up for his brilliant idea.

Everyone in the vote counting room was working like crazy. Li Jun complained while he was working that there weren't enough people assigned to him, and even a gatekeeper like himself had been brought up.

This was met with agreement from the people around him.

He inadvertently recorded a video of Zhang Liangying's votes being counted, and no one around him noticed that Li Jun was secretly recording.

"Leave it to me."

A clear female voice interrupted the busy crowd. Long Danni walked up to a staff member who was controlling Zhang Liangying's votes and patted him on the shoulder.

No one at Tianyu Entertainment could change Wang Peng's mind about his decision. Some left in anger, while others decided to see it through to the end.

The person who truly stood by Wang Peng was Long Danni, but whether she was genuinely supporting him or had ulterior motives remains unknown.

Li Jun felt a little nervous when he saw Long Danni. He had always been a model student and had never even held a little sister's hand. How could such a fake and deceitful thing happen to a good kid like him?

He quickly lowered the brim of his hat and found a better position to secretly film her actions.

Before filming had gone on for long, the door was kicked open again, startling everyone present once more.

This time it was Wang Peng who came, and he walked straight to Long Danni's side.

"I'll do it."

He clearly didn't trust the people around him and decided to do it himself.

Long Danni hesitated for a moment, then stepped back. Just as she turned around, she saw a familiar figure.

She glanced at him again, her expression filled with surprise and uncertainty. This man looked just like Li Jun, the one who had negotiated with them a few days ago.

Li Jun continued to stare at Long Danni without blushing or trembling, and the two stared at each other for a long time.

Why did Long Danni have such a deep impression of him? It all started with a phone call.
