"Lu Yiyao has co out!"
In a haze of smoke, Lu Yiyao appeared right in the center of the stage.
Today, she was radiantly beautiful. Zhang nglong had specially invited a master makeup artist to ticulously design her makeup, and Lu Yiyao, already quite attractive, seed like an angel descended to earth with the makeup's enhancent.
"What a gorgeous dress!"
Lu Yiyao's dress, as if carved from diamonds, sparkled with multicolored lights from every angle. It was adorned with nurous gemstones, luxurious yet not at all vulgar.
Twelve designers and dozens of master tailors had rushed to prepare this dress in a week, using only the most expensive materials. The diamonds embellishing the dress weighed over 1,000 carats in total, with hardly any diamond smaller than 1 carat. All were uniformly cut and of the sa hue.
This dress cost over 30 million US dollars and was the only one of its kind in the world!
"Don't you think the necklace on her neck looks familiar?"
"The blue, heart-shaped pendant? Heart of the Ocean?"
"Wasn't that thing long lost to the depths of the ocean? Must be fake, right?"
"Hahaha, are you joking with ? Does Director Zhang need to use fake items? Even if it's not the real Heart of the Ocean, it's definitely a replica made to the exact specifications."
"If it's real, that would be terrifying, experts estimate its value to be at least tens of millions of US dollars."
"She's literally wearing a house!"
"A house? Have you seen many houses worth over a billion US dollars? I'm definitely floored!"
...
Lu Yiyao showcased what it ant to floor everyone with her opening note. Her voice instantly shifted everyone's attention to her singing.
Under the tutelage of nurous fad teachers, Lu Yiyao's voice was like a finely polished masterpiece, and at that mont, all the top celebrities beca just backdrops to her.
The audience was stunned by Lu Yiyao's singing, and for a mont, they even forgot to vote. It was only halfway through the song that thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.
"This is definitely a future star, her singing skill is unmatched!"
"Not a single note off, and her personal flair is just too distinct. It's truly magical!"
"Not voting? If she doesn't win the championship, there's definitely so foul play!"
Accompanied by Lu Yiyao's powerful singing and the brilliant performances of the guest artists, Lu Yiyao's show ca to a close.
Unlike Hua Yuhan's stage, even though she had three popular stars helping her, all three were too dazzling. In this collaborative stage, they seed not to be there to complent Hua Yuhan but to engage in a collaborative performance.
In Lu Yiyao's stage, however, everyone beca her supplent, even the most glittering stars were rely supre support; no one could overshadow Lu Yiyao's brilliance, and they all tried their best to be the perfect backdrop.
And these supporters were not just one or two, but dozens! Each of them at least had millions or tens of millions of followers!
To have these influencers willingly play secondary roles, there was only one explanation: the money was right!
Ding! Your account ending in 9822 has received 100 million US dollars!
Ding! Your account ending in 3842 has received 100 million US dollars!
...
As soon as the performance ended, almost everyone simultaneously received an account notification.
A trace of a smile crossed their faces. With money, you could make the devil turn the millstone, let alone Yama – 100 million US dollars to perform on stage is money too good not to earn!
In the mont all the audience ca back to their senses, Lu Yiyao's votes began to shoot up like a rocket. In less than two minutes, it doubled Hua Yuhan's tally, leaving no trace of competition.
"Compete with ?" Zhang nglong watched the live stream in his manor's room, "Far from my level. It's like the national team playing against amateurs, isn't it?"
After both of their public performances ended, there was no more excitent left. The outco was predictable—Lu Yiyao in first place and Hua Yuhan in second, but the disparity in their vote counts was almost fivefold, worlds apart in popularity.
...
The performance had ended, and only 30 contestants remained on stage. In the next two weeks, all contestants would go through another elimination round on the stage, and finally, among the 15 contestants, the last 9 would debut.
Of course, such a competition would not always be pervaded by a dense sll of Gunpowder; occasionally, there would be so entertaining programs from the show's crew, which was precisely why these segnts were so appealing.
For this episode, the crew would give all contestants two days off, which would be recorded live to docunt each contestant's life and later edited into a complete program.
The crew would visit each contestant's ho and witness a day in their lives, which was the biggest specialty of this episode compared to previous ones!
As the current top favorite and the first-place contestant in the performance, Lu Yiyao naturally received the most attention; more importantly, she also had another identity, being Zhang nglong's girlfriend.
For those viewers, this was not just an opportunity for Lu Yiyao alone but also a chance to get a deeper understanding of Zhang nglong, to see what the daily life of a girlfriend of the world's richest man was like, and naturally, it also reflected what the life of the world's richest man was like.
Early in the morning, the crew had already arrived at the specified location, and the audience was all waiting in front of the live broadcast, which had reached an unprecedented viewership of over forty million people, even forcing the crew to add several live broadcast rooms to accommodate such a large number of viewers.
The number of visitors to such live broadcasts was previously only seen in the League of Legends Championships.
"She's coming out! She's coming out!" With a shaky cara, several towering buildings appeared in the live broadcast, and not far in front, Lu Yiyao was waving to the crew, while Zhang nglong stood smilingly beside her.
"Mr. Zhang! It's the real person!"
"He looks much more handso than in the photos and videos!"
"I'll respectfully call him 'hubby' first!"
...
"Psh, and I thought the world's richest man would live sowhere else, if not in an estate, at least a luxury villa?" So discordant voices appeared in the barrage.
"Looks like the land in Jiangnan City is really tight, even rich people like Mr. Zhang can't buy a villa."
"Idiots, maybe Mr. Zhang is just used to living in villas and wants to experience the life of ordinary people!"
"Exactly, do you know the manor used by the 'Son of the Future' program crew? That was provided by Mr. Zhang for free, do you think he couldn't afford a villa? His villas are probably spread out all over the place!"
"Just keep being jealous!"
...
"Good morning!" Lu Yiyao greeted the crew warmly.
"Miss Lu, it's an honor to docunt your day today; may we co in?"
"Of course!" Lu Yiyao and Zhang nglong stepped aside to let them in.
"Miss Lu, this is a city center apartnt, it must not be cheap, right?" the host chatted as they walked.
Lu Yiyao turned her gaze to Zhang nglong; she had never cared about this issue.
"It's okay, the price now is about 120,000 US Dollars per square ter," Zhang nglong said casually.
"Damn! 120,000 US Dollars? A person like Mr. Zhang, even if it's a flat, must at least have a two or three hundred square ter one, right?"
"That's not less than tens of millions, right? Moving to another place could really get you a villa!"
The barrage suddenly filled with envious voices.
"What floor are we going to?" the host continued to ask.
"Which floor would you like to visit first?" Lu Yiyao asked in return.
Host: "????"
"Miss Lu may have misunderstood my question; I an which floor do Miss Lu and Mr. Zhang live on?"
"Oh," Lu Yiyao replied, "you misunderstood , these buildings are all our places to live; which one would you like to see first?"
