Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 480

Chapter 480: The Truth Will Speak for Itself

With Ye Weiyang out of the judging room, the trainees who were waiting for their turns were blinded by the A rating stuck on her.

The youngest, most unpopular, invisible, and unnoticeable substitute trainee in Group F earned an A!?

Song Wenye, her group, and Group F swiftly gathered around Ye Weiyang. The good news came too unexpectedly.

Having done everything together for the past few days, Han Yan was close with Ye Weiyang. She excitedly embraced Ye Weiyang. “Yangyang, I knew you could do it. You’re the best!”

Ye Weiyang went from F to A. This was a sheer reversal of fortune.

The other girls in Group F were happy for Ye Weiyang to obtain an A. They were also envious of their talent but would never be jealous of the hard work she had put into it.

Yangyang went from zilch in terms of dancing to getting the stamp of approval from mentors in three days with an A rating to show for. She gave it her all.

Group F was over the moon for Ye Weiyang as though they acquired an A themselves.

The other groups were overwhelmed by various emotions – bitterness, jealousy, and dissatisfaction.

Group A was the most apprehensive, afraid, and spiteful about the situation. With Ye Weiyang venturing into Group A, an original member of Group A would have to be demoted. No one wanted to be the one bumped out.

He Lu and Su Ruowan had nothing to worry about since they had full confidence in their skills. The other two Group A members hated Ye Weiyang’s guts.

Who did she think she was? For a substitute trainee and a loser from Group F to be upgraded to an A, they suspected the mentors may have made a mistake.

“How can she possibly get an A?”

“She has the backing of Cosmos Entertainment. I’m sure the competition is fixed. The way I see it, we don’t have to compete since she’s going to win the competition anyway. Why bother putting in the effort? Can we beat her?”

The pair spoke loud enough for those nearby to hear.

They did not buy it. Why? All their efforts were overlooked just because Cosmos Entertainment was the investor who could decide the winner.

In that case, where did the production team draw the line?

It was a chaotic scene with the trainees huddled together. No one paid attention to who started it, but the rumors quickly spread like wildfire.

Ye Weiyang was talentless, and the sponsor was behind pulling the strings. The fact that she was assigned to Group F just for show when in actuality, she was already predetermined as the winner.

Song Wenye and the rest caught wind of the rumors. Furious, she clenched her teeth. “Nonsense! It’s not like jealousy can push them to the top.”

She wanted to get out there and talk some sense into them.

Ye Weiyang pulled her back. “Lil’ Ye, it’s fine.”

There was no point changing what had already spread. It was not as though Ye Weiyang acquired the A through connections. The mentors said she made huge progress with a great performance. She also had the potential to grow.

Ye Weiyang was so happy to receive such affirmations that these people’s biting remarks could not get to her.

Ji Jingyan murmured, “Don’t act on impulse. As long as we’re innocent, the truth will speak for itself.”

Song Wenye had to learn to watch her temper. It had been ten days since their arrival at the set. As trainees from Cosmos Entertainment, they had heard every cuss word in the book. To say they were pre-decided winners was actually putting it mildly.

The best way to deal with these people was to bring it on and crush them with their capabilities, so they would shut the hell up!

Ye Weiyang bobbed her head and cheered herself up. “Yanyan is right.”

She was going to shove the truth down these people’s throats!

Despite their feelings of hope and worry, the trainees still had to face the impending reality. Soon, the trainees went in and out of the judging room one after the other; some on cloud nine while others rock bottom.

He Lu cockily strode into the judging room but left the room with a long face and bloodshot eyes five minutes later. Clenching her fists, she gave Ye Weiyang the evil eye.

She was bumped out of Group A. He Lu was under the impression that she would not be struck out, but reality slapped her in the face, and it had to be the loser from Group F to force her out!

The A on He Lu’s name tag was switched to B. The other trainees thought nothing of it since they did not count on advancing into Group A.

Her clique in Group A, apart from Su Ruowan, let out a sigh of relief. They were overjoyed not to be in He Lu’s shoes.

With He Lu demoted to Group B, they would not be ousted from Group A. What could be happier than this outcome?

As for the so-called sisterhood, they had only known each other for a few days. They may appear as sisters on the surface, but they were still competitors at the end of the day. Who would deplore and be sad over their opponent’s defeat?

Nevertheless, they still had to keep up with the appearances. They comforted He Lu, pushing all the blame to Ye Weiyang. This would not have happened had Ye Weiyang not pulled strings.

Already upset, He Lu took in their console and focused all her anger on Ye Weiyang. It was her. It was all because of Ye Weiyang that she was kicked out of Group A.

Well, she shall see about that. She was not going to throw in the towel that easily.

Su Ruowan started to have concerns now that He Lu was forced into Group B. She took a glance at Ye Weiyang and her group. Su Ruowan did not agree with the other two childish girls.

These two losers must be happy about He Lu’s elimination. However, their heads were next on the chopping board.

Their overall performance was beneath He Lu. Since He Lu was out of Group A, these girls were likely to share the same fate.

Could Cosmos Entertainment really be working behind the scenes and withholding the debuting spots for their own trainees? If that were the case, six out of seven spots were reserved for Cosmos Entertainment’s trainees and so there was only one spot left.

Her eyes reflected dreariness as she balled up her fists. No matter what, she was determined to bag the last spot!

Group F really outdid themselves with those returning with a higher rating. Panic began to sink in among the other trainees.

The production team was walking on air. Group F brought the biggest surprise and plot twist to the show. Nevertheless, Mr. Yun Xiao remained the same composed and aloof man of few words.
