Chapter 548: Chapters 548 Getting More and More Cunning (4)

[The black exudes a cold and noble charm, the white is pure and elegant, the red is festive and enchanting. One has to admit, Her Majesty the Queen is truly formidable—she masters every color so well!]

The following discussion became even more lively—people had all sorts of comments, and an enthusiastic fan even initiated a voting event online, asking everyone to vote for their favorite photo. What started as a simple idea exploded on the internet, and within just an hour, more than one million netizens had participated in the vote. The results spread rapidly, and although the red photo received the most votes, with white and black trailing closely behind, the consensus was that each set was stunningly impressive.

After the second phase of "I’m the Best" ended, sixty-two contestants proceeded to the third phase—the live elimination round—a number that was just within Qin Jiran’s expectations. Before the official start of the third stage, there was a ten-day training period,

During the training, Qin Jiran would also participate as an instructor, though he only had to devote half a day to performance class training, which did not take up much of his time. Throughout the training period, all the contestants would live in a small villa arranged by the company, and the entire experience would be recorded, serving as a highlight of the show.

Such arrangements were not particularly novel, as many domestic talent shows had done similar things. However, eager to add some novelty, the production team racked their brains and eventually added a segment called a test of character, which was suggested by Qin Jiran. He emphasized that it should be conducted secretly.

"Director Qin, this test you’re talking about has good intentions, but the outcome may not necessarily be positive," Liu Yitong expressed his reservations, not because he thought the proposal was bad, but because some things truly can’t withstand scrutiny these days.

"As long as those people aren’t fools and know that filming is ongoing, they will always be careful. There should be some interesting moments," Qin Jiran explained. Although the test of character was to be secretly conducted, the contestants would always be aware of the ongoing filming—if they were at all intelligent, they would understand the reasoning behind it.

Liu Yitong thought it over and agreed with the logic, and thus he did not stop it, consenting to this addition to the show.

Meanwhile, as Qin Jiran was busy with his work, word of the Qin Corporation being under investigation spread wider and wider. However, the investigation proceeded neither swiftly nor slowly. It was unclear whether the intent was to genuinely uncover something or merely to intimidate and frighten the members of the Qin family. The uncertainty was agonizing—it was like a sword was hanging over their heads, which might not fall but also could plummet without warning, preventing them from feeling at ease.

The members of the Qin family reached out to everyone in the Su family, either failing to make contact or being told that they were too busy for a meeting. They were left hanging, without so much as a glimpse of the Su family members, and the Qin family lived in a state of anxious torment.

As the Qin family fretted and the Su family bustled about, with fans screaming in excitement, time swiftly progressed to early June, when Su Yanyi was one and a half months pregnant. It coincidentally aligned with Children’s Day, and the only child in the Su family young enough to celebrate the occasion was Xiao Su Nuo. The Su family mobilized to give Xiao Su Nuo a memorable Children’s Day—even the patriarch joined in the celebration, and Su Yanmo, the father, returned from abroad specifically for this.

After some time, the Mercenary Company’s relocation of its headquarters approached its conclusion, anticipated to be finished by mid-June. This was when Su Yanmo was his busiest, but he still rushed back, much to the delight of little Su Nuo, who hadn’t seen his father for many days. Upon seeing Su Yanmo, he greeted him with a brilliantly sunny smile.
