Wang Meil's hands trembled upon seeing the comments about Pretty Girls' performance. However, rather than the negative comments about her group, the praises for Xu Nuan's group bothered her even more.
She gritted her teeth in hatred and clenched her fists, " This bitch! How dare she? I knew it. She is a cunning girl!!"
" Ms. Wang, what are we going to do now? Why didn't you check the technical settings before the performance? How can the music get cut during the live performance?" Rin Rin approached her in worry. Her innocent fairy-like image that she was holding up to now was ruined in an instant. Everyone was calling her talentless, a coward, and whatnot. Her hands were shivering in worry, thinking about the consequences.
Wang Meili pursed her lips and seeing her accusing tone, she scoffed, " What do you think will happen now? Didn't you want to do lip sync on the stage? Even your mother insisted on doing the same, who are you to blame me now?" she snapped at her.
" So you're saying that it was my fault? It was you who told us to focus on being pretty more than singing. You said that our special point was being pretty and cute. How can we look elegant and pretty while singing? Also, singing while dancing is so hard. It wouldn't have turned out best if we had sung live. I need to preserve my voice for important events as well. How can I perform live for such petty shows?" Rin Rin retorted back.
Wang Meili was speechless upon seeing her princess-like attitude. Petty show? They just debuted and she was treating herself as the queen of the stage. " Rin Rin, I get it that you have your mother behind you, but look at the mirror once. There are many pretty faces in the market to replace you, you aren't the only one. If you can't become talented then at least learn to be humble."
" And about this mess up, don't come to me. I wasn't the one who told you to do lip-sync. If you had done it live, we wouldn't have gotten into this whole mess. Even if it wouldn't have been perfect, people would have encouraged you for your live performance and confidence."
" Now everyone is praising Xu Nuan's group and hating you guys. Rin Rin, I am disappointed in you. I choose you as the group center for your looks and talent, but you disappointed me." Wang Meili shook her head and walked out of the room.
Rin Rin frowned seeing Wang Meili leaving the room like this and stomped her feet on the floor in annoyance. " How dare she? She is just a mere manager!"
She looked at the other girls who were sitting there in shock, " What are you looking at me for?" she glared at them, causing them to look down.
" Argh!! I hate this bitch." she shrieked in frustration seeing how things turned out.

Xu Nuan smirked upon seeing the happenings in the vanity room of Pretty Girls from afar and went to the vanity room reserved for them while whistling.
Just as she entered the room, she was swarmed up by the questions, " Xu Nuan, what will happen to them now? Their performance got ruined." Song Ai asked worriedly.
" I can't believe that they did lipsync for their live performance. They should not have done this." Pan Lan added while shaking her head in speechlessness.
Sun Ya nodded and said, " Doesn't Wang Meili give much attention to live performance, how come she allowed them to do lip sync?"
Xu Nuan didn't say anything and sat on one of the chairs in the room while picking up her coffee tumbler from the table. She picked up her laptop that was working which made her lips curled up in a smirk. She was shutting down her laptop when she heard Song Ai's words.
" Ah, by the way, this bouquet came for you." Xu Nuan looked at the large bouquet of roses that Song Ai passed to her.
" OHH, I wonder who sent it. Is he your boyfriend? The one who came to pick you at the restaurant?" Sun Ya asked curiously.
Xu Nuan's eyes lit up seeing the bouquet, her lips curled up in a bright smile, however, her bright smile dimmed upon seeing the name on the card.
[Congratulations on your first win. This is just the start!! - Lin Hui.]
" Xu Nuan, don't tell me you're going out with Mr. Lin?" Pan Lan asked in shock, earning a glare from Xu Nuan.
" But we haven't won yet, how can he be so sure?" Song Ai pursed her lips.
Xu Nuan smirked hearing her uncertain words. " Because he knows that I don't accept the losing deals." she winked at her, leaving her confused. She hasn't lost any deal in her life except cooking and household chores. These are the only things she is bad at, otherwise, she can excel anything if she wants to.

All the artists were standing on the stage, waiting for the announcement of the winner. Pretty Girls, leading by Rin Rin were standing in front, while The Knights were standing in the last, behind other artists.
Xu Nuan was standing down the stage, near the audience block, and chuckled seeing her girls standing in the last, away from the camera angle. Their performance was a power pact but their personalities are of elementary kids.
[The final two artists are - The Knights and XMX.] The MC announced.
Rin Rin frowned seeing the name of 'The Knights' in the final two artists. She pursed her lips and looked at Wang Meili who was standing below the stage in frustration. The girls whom she had rejected and insisted on eliminating, are nominated as the top two artists list.
The first win after the debut is considered as the most important for every idle and if Xu Nuan's group won this trophy, then their popularity value gonna increase even more.
" And the winner of the Music Show is…... The Knights!! Please welcome the group with applause. The Knights, please say a few words to your fans." The MC said while looking around in confusion as the group was nowhere to be seen. The girls standing in last were startled when the confetti and sprinkle popper was blasted on them and the artists around them started congratulating.
Their eyes were widened in shock as they were not expecting to win. It took them a few seconds to assess the situation, and when they realized that they won, the tap of their tears was turned on.
"AHHh. We Won!!"
Song Ai and Sun Ya shouted together, startling the other artists standing beside them. They started bawling while hugging each other. Pan Lan was happy and shocked, but she was embarrassed at her members' reaction. She tried to get away from them but was pulled into a group hug by Song Ai.
Similarly, Lai Yi who was trying to get away from the embarrassing situation was squeezed into a group hug by Sun Ya.
[ Congratulations The Knights on your first win. You guys deserved it.]
[ OMG!! I can't with them. Did you see how Pan Lan and Lai Yi were avoiding to stand near Song Ai and Sun Ya but were eventually pulled by them for a hug? They are hilarious.]
[They are so humble. They stood in the last to respect the senior artists unless someone else. You can see how appreciative other artists look when they win. The Knights have earned this respect.]

Xu Nuan looked at the girls crying at the stage and pursed her lips. The memories of their first win were still vivid in her mind. Hao Mei and Luo Dan were crying like a baby while she and Jia Fei were feeling embarrassed seeing their ugly faces due to crying.
However, when they all hugged, they also started crying. It was their first win, their first achievement as a group, which has now disbanded. One can forget the pain given by someone but the happy memories made with them haunts you forever.
She sniffled, raised her head to not cry, and fanned her tears away. " Ah, I hate it. Who turned off the air conditioner? Why am I sweating from my eyes?" she murmured embarrassedly while crying.
" Here, use this." She was startled when someone offered her a handkerchief from the side.
