Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 829

The organizers decided to name the competition using the English word 'Journey' because it sounded extra impressive and they intended to create an image of an ultimate battle.

The first stage of the competition was split into auditions, preliminary round, top 300 and top 100, and utilized the most ruthless method of elimination. There were no second chances or other arrangements. Which meant, only those in the top 100 had the privilege to find out about the next stage in the competition.

Starting from the preliminary rounds, the competition would be broadcasted live at 6pm every Saturday. And it was expected, within one month, the top 100 would be decided.

The competition was fast-paced; within the short span of a few days, the contestants were expected to be ready for the next round of fierce rivalry. This was the reality behind the ruthless 'journey' that they were on.

"A frightening number of people passed the auditions, so don't let your guard down by assuming that there are a lot of spots available for the next round. It's OK for you to relax, but you need to understand how important this competition is to you," Lin Qian reminded after escorting Xing Lan home. While she was there, she took the opportunity to scan over her apartment. "This place won't do, it's too basic. You need to move."

"But, won't that attract suspicion from my sister?"

"Don't worry, from the moment that you signed with Superstar Media, your private matters were made confidential, that is, unless you reveal it yourself," Lin Qian guaranteed. "Your sister will simply think that you are quietly being a teacher at music school."

"OK, I'll follow the agencies arrangements."

"In that case, I'll take you to dinner first and we can come back to pack your bags after." Lin Qian ended up taking Xing Lan to a hotel for dinner. However, not long after they sat down, they began to hear people talking about the competition. It was, after all, a big production that only took place once every few years, so it naturally started conversations.

"You entered the competition too, did you pass the auditions?"

"Who do you think our Nana is? She's pretty and has a great voice. She's born to be a star."

Hearing the conversation from their neighboring table, Lin Qian shook her head and looked at Xing Lan, "Remember that girl named Nana. I bet she'll be eliminated in the next round."

"No way! She's so pretty." The woman was dressed in a long white dress with a sweet and beautiful appearance. No matter how one looked at it, she was bound to get a good result.

"Did you think that this is a beauty contest? Trust me, a piece of disgusting news will soon surface."

Fame and fortune was a huge temptation. Once one got hold of an opportunity to gain it, they would not be so silly as to let it go.

"Don't worry. The way you've been keeping a low profile is perfect." Xing Lan wasn't a threat for anyone. At least for now, she wasn't going to attract any trouble. Lin Qian was proud of this, but of course, this was all thanks to the guidance from Tangning.

In response, Xing Lan revealed a smile.

The next round was due in six days. However, unlike everyone else, Tangning was in no rush to train Xing Lan, nor did she hire any experts to perfect her singing technique. Instead, she instructed her to relax. Xing Lan wasn't any less talented than anyone else. All she was lacking was a stable mindset and confidence.

Soon, the next round took place inside the Beijing Stadium. As usual, Lin Qian accompanied Xing Lan to the competition.

This time, it was also an elimination round. The contestants were split into groups of 5, but only one survived from each group.

The two women spotted the beautiful Nana in the stadium, and as usual, she was dressed to the nines. When one looked at her, it was impossible to take their eyes off her. But, according to what Lin Qian said the other day, this woman was going to be eliminated today.

"Go draw a number," Lin Qian reminded Xing Lan. After drawing a number, the contestants split up, found their respective groups and waited patiently.

However, after Xing Lan found her group, the other girls simply looked at her with disdain. In fact, their expressions showed that they didn't think much of her and didn't view her as a threat because she did not stand out at all.

At this time, Xing Lan finally understood why Lin Qian wanted her to look so countrified. If one didn't appear to pose a threat...their enemies would overlook them.

"What's the tactic this time?" Xing Lan asked beside Lin Qian's ear.
