CHAPTER 465: CHAPTER 465 FINAL RANKINGS

Lin Fan’s words left everyone at the company feeling quite emotional; most are regular people working hard, and what Lin Fan said resonated deeply with them.

Indeed, as ordinary folks, who doesn’t want a better life? If there’s an opportunity to climb up legally and reasonably, who wouldn’t be happy?

Perhaps Ning Xiaoyue’s fans think this way too, working hard to help her debut so she can leave her past behind and have a better life.

Yet, this feeling is something Feng Tianming, being a Rich Second Generation, cannot understand.

Feng Tianming, the Rich Second Generation, only sees Ning Xiaoyue getting criticized as a shameful thing. If Ning Xiaoyue fails, she won’t get criticized anymore, and that would be a relief.

What he doesn’t understand is that Ning Xiaoyue and her fans would rather endure criticism than miss this opportunity, as it might be the only chance to change her destiny.

It’s hard for the poor to produce noble children!

They say ordinary people often can only change their fate through education, yet most, even after earning a PhD, still remain poor.

Only a few can become elites and achieve social mobility.

If Ning Xiaoyue successfully moves up through this talent show, it’s imaginable she’ll attract envy and face more attacks and criticism.

Some will think her ascension came too easily, simply because of her pretty face.

However, these people overlook one point: if Ning Xiaoyue truly succeeds, it’s because she fought through a bloody path. She’s faced so many terrible attacks, been scarred all over; if someone else had tried, they’d be worse off than Ning Xiaoyue.

"Lin Fan, what’s the point of saying all this? Ning Xiaoyue is destined to fail. Change her fate? Dream on! Once the competition’s over, she can go back to her rural hometown to farm. A useless person like her is only fit for farming, haha..."

Feng Tianming laughed loudly.

"This bastard..."

Everyone at Wenyue Company gritted their teeth in rage, but had no way to refute Feng Tianming.

There’s no other way; given the current situation, no one can guarantee Ning Xiaoyue will successfully debut.

The show continued.

Feng Tianming’s A-Class Player performed well and even made it onto the trending list, garnering unanimous praise from netizens, who lauded her as a talented player.

Seeing these compliments, Feng Tianming laughed joyfully.

He couldn’t help but mock Lin Fan again: "Lin Fan, I really have to thank you, this fool, for showing mercy by not exposing her scandals. Otherwise, the comments now would be a different story. In this situation, she’s guaranteed to debut. By comparison, Ning Xiaoyue, this useless person, remains under fire. Can you guess the result? No need for me to say more, right?"

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Young Master Feng, don’t be too complacent, be careful not to end up embarrassed."

Lin Fan’s calm demeanor made Feng Tianming quite annoyed: "I really don’t understand where your confidence comes from; the trend is already very clear, my player’s popularity keeps rising, while Ning Xiaoyue is declining. Keep lying to yourself, but you don’t have much time left."

Lin Fan said, "Then just wait and see."

Feng Tianming was furious, thinking Lin Fan was really annoying. Once victory comes, he will definitely humiliate Lin Fan thoroughly.

He had already planned out how to insult Lin Fan.

The show continued to air, and finally, it reached the thrilling moment.

The final rankings were announced!

Only the top nine can debut as a group.

As the show aired, fans of each contestant were desperately voting. Before the final rankings were revealed, the host announced the official closure of the voting channel.

After tallying the data, the results were out.

The host started announcing from ninth place.

Three people were announced consecutively.

Neither Ning Xiaoyue nor Feng Tianming’s A-Class Player was among them.

Feng Tianming laughed out loud, "Nice, really nice, seems my player is already in the top six. Ning Xiaoyue indeed dropped out of debut position!"

Lin Fan chuckled, "Are you so sure Xiaoyue must have dropped out of debut position?"

Feng Tianming said, "She dropped to seventh last week, and kept declining. What do you think? Lin Fan, stop deceiving yourself!"

Lin Fan did not respond.

Feng Tianming thought Lin Fan was speechless, and could not help but feel even more smug.

"Lin Fan, I advise you to prepare one billion cash immediately; I’ll take it away in a while, perfect for tonight’s celebration!" Feng Tianming chuckled.

Lin Fan did not respond, already too lazy to waste words with Feng Tianming.

Feng Tianming coldly sneered internally, Lin Fan’s reaction was really annoying, just wait till you cry!

"Sixth place..."

"Fifth place..."

"Fourth place..."

Next, the host announced three consecutive rankings.

Neither Ning Xiaoyue nor the A-Class Player was among them!

Wenyue Company fell silent momentarily, everyone’s faces were filled with tension.

If the top three didn’t include Ning Xiaoyue, then she was really out of debut position.

Feng Tianming was incredibly excited, "Amazing, never expected this, better than imagined—into the top three! I’m not asking for much, third place is fine! Lin Fan, are you ready to face defeat?"

This talent show attracted almost the whole internet’s attention, everyone was anticipating the final debut list.

Reaching the top three, the atmosphere was at its tensest, everyone stared at the screen, beginning all sorts of guesses.

"Top three, it’s certain Ning Xiaoyue isn’t among them!"

"I think so, Ning Xiaoyue fell to seventh last week. She couldn’t possibly be in the top three even if she turned it around!"

"Yeah, that hit was too hard for her!"

"If she doesn’t debut, that’s great; I wouldn’t need to criticize her then."

The main discussion topic still revolved around Ning Xiaoyue, as if the entire show only featured her, everyone cared about her ranking.

Reaching the top three, it was generally believed Ning Xiaoyue was out of chances.

Amidst all the anticipation, the host announced: "Now, announcing the contestant in third place. Let’s congratulate her, it’s Ning Xiaoyue, congratulations to Ning Xiaoyue for gaining third place!"

The host’s voice was loud, almost echoing through the entire network.

Indeed, his announcement was like dropping a thunderous bomb online, shaking everyone to their core!

The entire world was stunned.

The internet fell into a brief silence; perhaps behind each network cable, netizens were struck by the truth, shocked.

Ning Xiaoyue actually got third place!

She dropped from third to seventh and then rose back to third again!

A stunning turnaround!

"How could this happen, impossible, impossible, I don’t believe the result..." Feng Tianming murmured, his face full of disbelief.

He could not accept that Ning Xiaoyue hadn’t dropped out of debut position but even debuted high in third place!

"Third place, pretty good." Lin Fan showed a satisfied smile; having debuted was good enough.

Feng Tianming screamed, "Lin Fan, don’t be too happy yet. There are still two positions; my player is definitely one of them. Could it be that she’s debuted in the center position, Lin Fan, you’re definitely lost, hahaha..."
