Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God

Madam Chu smiled: "Alright, Xiaoxiao, where do you go to school?"

Chu Xiaoxiao was a bit surprised, Madam Chu actually showed a good face?

"At Yun City Music Academy," Chu Xiaoxiao replied.

Chu Yufei said: "Mommy, I plan to let Xiaoxiao learn to drive, and we're thinking about buying her a car to make it easier for her to get to school, what do you think?"

Madam Chu's heart sank, buying a car for Chu Xiaoxiao? That's a hefty expense, and she doesn't want to spend a dime on this little brat!

But remembering Madam Chu's warning, she held back her anger, smiling: "Alright, buying a car would be convenient, it's necessary."

Chu Yufei laughed: "Thank you, Mommy."

She hadn't expected Madam Chu to be so agreeable. Didn't she used to dislike Chu Xiaoxiao? Has she changed?

"Thank you, Auntie," Chu Xiaoxiao also said.

Then, the two sisters went out.

Watching their backs, Madam Chu's face immediately turned sour, and she snorted heavily.

She felt like sooner or later she'd die of anger. No, even if she couldn't openly show dislike for Chu Xiaoxiao, she could still trip her up secretly.

Madam Chu's eyes immediately flashed with a venomous light.

After Lin Fan visited the Chu Family, a rumor spread quickly — supposedly Mr. Lin, the richest man in Yun City, was planning a trillion-dollar project, and there was a possibility of partnering with the Chu Family!

As soon as this news broke, it stirred quite the commotion in the business world.

Everyone was speculating, what exactly was Lin Fan's project?

Putting forth a trillion-dollar project, truly worthy of the richest man in Yun City!

At the same time, the news was favorable to the Chu Family, and Yun Chu Group's stock price hit its limit within a short period, something that hadn't happened since Yun Chu went public.

This result strengthened Madam Chu's resolve to curry favor with Lin Fan. Lin Fan was indeed Yun Chu Group's hope of becoming a trillion-dollar group!

Not to mention, ever since Lin Fan escorted Chu Xiaoxiao back to the Chu Family, he resumed his monotonous life of a rich person.

A few more days passed, and the system bug still wasn't fixed, persistently delivering him a cash reward of 500 million daily, akin to winning the lottery jackpot every day, and tax-free at that.

It was really too dull!

Apart from dealing with company affairs, Lin Fan had plenty of free time, during which he continued teaching at Yun City Music Academy.

Or he'd go deliver packages.

Life was dull yet fulfilling.

On this day, while Lin Fan was delivering packages, he received a call from Wang Xiangqian.

Wang Xiangqian informed Lin Fan that the talent show Ning Xiaoyue was participating in was airing tonight.

This signaled the official start of Lin Fan and Feng Tianming's billion-dollar bet.

Wang Xiangqian invited Lin Fan to the company to watch the show, and Lin Fan agreed. After delivering packages, he went to Wenyue Company.

At Wenyue Company, Wang Xiangqian, along with a group of employees and their female group members, had drinks and snacks ready, gathered around the TV, ready to watch the show.

"Brother Fan is here, Brother Fan, come sit!"

Seeing Lin Fan enter, Wang Xiangqian quickly stood up and, with a grin, pulled Lin Fan over to sit on the sofa.

Lin Fan said: "Old Wang, I don't usually watch TV, can you explain to me what this show is about?"

Wang Xiangqian said: "I'm not entirely clear on the specific rules; I only have a basic understanding. The show is called Creation Star, with a total of 99 female contestants, and in the end, 9 will be selected to debut as a group."

Lin Fan exclaimed: "99 to select 9? That sounds a bit brutal."

Wang Xiangqian said: "It is indeed brutal. From our company, if one of the four girls can debut, I'll be satisfied, but I'm afraid none might make it."

Lin Fan smiled and said: "Well, let's wait and see."

Soon, the show began.

The first segment of the show was the appearance of the 99 contestants, most of whom were members of different companies' female groups, some as few as one or two, while others had as many as seven representatives. Wenyue Company had Ning Xiaoyue and three others.

Lin Fan took a look — these females were mostly beauties, and a few looked particularly outstanding, appearing to be strong competitors.

"Xiaoyue and the others are coming on stage!"

Someone suddenly exclaimed with excitement.

Sure enough, on TV, Ning Xiaoyue and her three companions appeared.

Watching Ning Xiaoyue on TV, Lin Fan was somewhat amazed — so adorable, so beautiful, and very photogenic. Compared to the standout contestants he saw a moment ago, they all paled in comparison to Ning Xiaoyue.

However, Ning Xiaoyue clearly lacked experience and looked somewhat nervous.

After Ning Xiaoyue and her group took the stage, another company's contestants appeared, a total of five females.

Lin Fan recognized them as Feng Tianming's female group; Feng Tianming had brought these five girls by the company previously.

These five girls, though not as beautiful as Ning Xiaoyue, appeared mature and confident.

Seeing this, Wang Xiangqian beside him started getting nervous. Ever since Feng Tianming abandoned his company, opting to invest in these five girls, if these five girls won against Ning Xiaoyue and her group in this competition, it would prove Feng Tianming's choice right.

Before long, all 99 females had appeared.

Next was the second segment, the initial performance.

Female group members from various companies took the stage one by one, performing group songs and dances, and their performances were used to assign levels.

The show's mentors would score each person based on their performance, from A-level to F-level. A-level would have 9 slots, allowing entry into the debut positions.

Of course, this was just the beginning and not the final result.

The show was divided into ten episodes, spanning over two months. After the initial performance in the first episode, the show would open voting to the nationwide audience, and ultimately, the rankings would be decided based on the contestants' votes. In the grand finale, the top nine contestants by votes would debut as a group.

This meant that the contestants had to rely on their talent to attract fans; the more fans they had, the higher their votes would naturally be. In simple terms, this was a popularity-driven system.

After successive performances by contestants from each company, it was time for Feng Tianming's female group to take the stage.

It's worth noting that these five girls were indeed very confident, and their singing and dancing skills were quite impressive — precise choreography and decent singing.

In the end, among the five, four were rated as B-level, and one as A-level, entering the debut positions!

Seeing this, Wang Xiangqian's face turned a bit grim. Feng Tianming's female group was pretty formidable — if this A-level girl maintained her position, it was entirely possible for her to debut as a group!

After a few more performances, it was finally Ning Xiaoyue and her group's turn!

Everyone immediately became nervous, a bit worried, since they were all well aware of Ning Xiaoyue's abilities. Even though she had undergone rigorous training for a period, there was still concern she might make a mistake.

The worry was proven correct.

All eyes watched as Ning Xiaoyue and her group offered a disastrous stage performance.

Singing was off-key, the dance was not in sync, and especially Ning Xiaoyue, she made a wrong move, causing laughter throughout the venue.

The mentor looked at Ning Xiaoyue and said: "Ning Xiaoyue, don't count beats while dancing."

The room erupted in laughter.

Ultimately, Ning Xiaoyue was rated as C-level, while the other three girls were rated as D-level — arguably a rather poor performance.

In Wenyue Company's office, everyone fell silent, each person holding their head in their hands, faces full of embarrassment.

It's over, their performance was so poor, debut is hopeless!

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, there was laughter from outside the company.

Feng Tianming walked in; this guy seemed lurking around Wenyue Company, ready to pop up whenever an opportunity arose.

"How did it go? You've watched the show, right? Lin Fan, can you admit defeat now?" Feng Tianming taunted.
