Three questions every day after traveling through a book: Has your character been ruined today?

"Look at the way you ask this question. It's so polite! This is my company! Is it not okay for me to come and take a look?" Gu Ze was speechless.

"We would also like to thank Mr. Gu for lending us the venue for free this time." Director Li smiled and smoothed things over between the two of them.

"Alright Director Li, the assessment is about to begin, go and do your thing. Mr. Lu and I are old friends, so I'll take care of him."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Lu, Mr. Gu, I'll get busy now."

Lu Yanli nodded.

There was not much decoration on the stage in front of the lecture hall.

A camera was set up in the middle of the auditorium, facing the center of the stage.

There were several seat cards with names written on them on the table in front of the first row of the auditorium.

Gu Ze pulled Lu Yanli to sit further back, away from the crowd.

Then he lowered his head and approached Lu Yanli and introduced in a low voice:

"The five people in the first row are the star promoters for this season, and the two rows in the middle behind the star promoters are basically representatives from major talent agencies."

"The group of girls on the left are this season's contestants, and they also include their agent assistants."

Lu Yanli nodded gently to show that he understood.

After Gu Ze finished talking about the serious matter, he switched to gossip mode in a second:

"How come you have time to come here today? Are you here to see your white moonlight or your stand-in? I checked the list in advance, and they both passed the audition!"

"Ah?" Lu Yanli frowned.

It’s not surprising that Bai Lian made it through the audition. Meng Yuan’s previous attitude clearly showed that she didn’t want to participate, so why did she still come?

"If you ask me, you are so heartless. In order to support your white moonlight, you even let Meng Yuan be her partner."

"After all, I have followed you for so many years. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard."

"But you are also very talented and brave. You dared to introduce Bai Yueguang and her stand-in to each other and let them participate in the show together."

"Hey, I'm curious, did Meng Yuan make trouble with you in private? How did you coax her into agreeing?"

Director Li had already announced that the baseline assessment had officially begun, but Gu Ze was still gossiping with Lu Yanli in a low voice.

There wasn't a single word that Lu Yanli could understand.

"Stop first." Lu Yanli pressed the pause button for the other party when he paused for a breath.

"When did I let Meng Yuan participate in this program?"

If Lu Yanli remembered correctly, he just couldn't bear to reject Bai Yueguang that day, so he mentioned it to Meng Yuan, but he didn't necessarily let the other party come?

"Your Bai Yueguang Meng... oh no, it should be Bai Lian now, that's what she told me!"

"We met once in a shopping mall, and she asked me if Meng Yuan was in my company."

"Then, when you were having dinner together before, you said that you wanted Meng Yuan to participate in the "Star of Tomorrow" program with her."

"I know your white moonlight is back, and you're thinking about her every day. I won't bother you with this little thing. Meng Yuan is in my company anyway, so I'll just do it for you."

After hearing what Gu Ze said, Lu Yanli was speechless.

It is true that all the events had happened, but some conversations were omitted, resulting in a complete misunderstanding of the meaning.

"But in my opinion, after Meng Yuan participated in this program, she will probably have more haters."

"Why?" Lu Yanli was puzzled.

"You'll know when she comes on stage later." Gu Ze gave a malicious smile.

"The next contestant is Bai Lian."

Bai Lian prepared a lyrical song with a slower tempo.

Because all contestants were required to sing a cappella today, there was no accompaniment during Bai Lian's performance.

But even with just her own voice, Shirokoi still manages to convey the emotions of the original song perfectly.

At the end of the song, several star promoters in the audience smiled with satisfaction.

Gu Ze nudged Lu Yanli next to him with his elbow and said, "Your White Moonlight is good, a heavenly sound."

Lu Yanli did not answer. He was thinking, since he had already sat in the audience and listened to Bai Lian finish singing the song, he had completed the task given to him by the God of Plot.

Then can I go back?

Just as Lu Yanli was about to leave, he heard,

"The next contestant is Meng Yuan."

Lu Yanli thought about what Gu Ze had just said and decided to take a look at Meng Yuan's assessment.

Meng Yuan stepped onto the stage and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the star promoter.

"Sorry, we require no makeup today, please remove your makeup first."

Meng Yuan looked at the makeup remover towel handed over by the staff next to her and found it a little funny:

"I don't have any makeup on?"

Seeing the star promoter's obviously disbelieving look, Meng Yuan grabbed the makeup remover towel and rubbed it hard on her face several times.

Then she held out the clean makeup remover towel to the celebrity promoter:

"No way, I'm naturally beautiful."

"Tsk, that sounds nice, but I'm afraid your entire face has been done semi-permanently." Someone in the contestant seating area complained.

The sound itself was not loud, but the scene happened to be very quiet, so the sound was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

Gu Ze glanced over there, then leaned closer to Lu Yanli and gossiped in a low voice:

"Hey, let me tell you, Meng Yuan's face really doesn't have any technology or hard work, it's purely natural. I've seen photos of her when she first entered the industry as an extra, and she looks exactly the same as now."

"Don't underestimate a woman's jealousy, it's very scary! So you must never let your white moonlight know that you found a substitute when she was not around."

It’s too late, Lu Yanli thought. Although he didn’t know it was a substitute, he knew there was a Schrödinger’s canary.

It’s all Shen Shuli’s fault for having such a big mouth.

But it doesn’t matter. Once I figure out a way to get back, I won’t have to play house with this group of people.

Director Li signaled the contestants to be quiet, and then let Meng Yuan begin the performance.

Meng Yuan also sang a cappella.

How to say it, when the song ended, Lu Yanli couldn’t even tell which song she was singing.

The star promoters and contestants at the scene were also equally confused.

Star promoter Wanyuepai commented: "You have a lot of room for improvement."

Star promoter Haofangpai commented: "You sang very well. Don't sing it next time."

The contestant area exploded.

Probably no one would have thought that after auditioning tens of thousands of people and selecting one from thousands, they would finally pick out such a person who could sing the original song as the plaintiff.

I feel like competing with her on the same stage is an insult to my own abilities.

Gu Ze was laughing so hard that he was out of breath. Lu Yanli looked at him and understood why he said that before.

Meng Yuan’s singing level cannot be said to be average, it can only be said to be very poor.

Meng Yuan stood on the stage, absent-mindedly accepting the comments from the star promoter, while she could still hear the contestants' disapproval of her from the audience.

I was thinking to myself: You guys are right, let’s make a scene and unite to kick me out of this show!

Meng Yuan's eyes swept across the audience and saw Lu Yanli sitting in the back. Meng Yuan was so angry that he couldn't help but burst out.

If it weren't for this person, I wouldn't have come to this damn show!

The next second, Lu Yanli was locked in Meng Yuan's gaze.

He stood up and walked towards Meng Yuan.
