After the mentors announced the results of the second rating, the selection for the C-position<sup>1</sup> of the theme song followed.\n
<details>

1. Center position
</details>\nAll of Class A would perform the theme song in the most eye-catching places on the performance stage, but there would only be one person standing in the center of the stage.\n
But the vote for the C-position for the theme song was in the hands of all the trainees except Class A.\n
After the second rating, the trainees of Class A would do a group performance of the theme song for the other trainees, then they would vote for who they thought in their hearts was the best C, the highest number of votes would stand in the most conspicuous C position in the first official theme song performance.\n
Hua Yao’s trainees sat in the auditorium, looking at the two pride of Hua Yao with encouraging eyes.\n
No matter who stood in the C position, they would give Hua Yao honor!\n
Tan Xi raised her hand and pointed at Yu Ru Bing, indicating that they should unanimously choose the best troll.\n
In this segment, it was said that the best one for the C position in the hearts of the trainees would be selected, but in fact, it was a disguise to choose the most popular person in the show, and that was undoubtedly the person who extremely loves to mine, Yu Ru Bing herself.\n
Although Yu Ru Bing was in Class B, she would occasionally run to the three classes below, C, D, and E, and secretly observe the mine and dig, she also wouldn’t hesitate to give advice when someone asked her for advice.\n
So after going back and forth like this, although the trainees of the entire program had not truly mixed well nor had become familiar with each other yet, she still left a good impression in everyone’s hearts.\n
The music for the theme song started, and the Class A trainees became engrossed, striving to show everyone their best self.\n
The trainees who were acting as the audience were dazzled, they all wanted to look at everyone, but didn’t know which one to watch, the worst thing was that though they wanted to equally cover with rain and dew<sup>2</sup>, their eyes were unconsciously sucked away by the little fairy Yu Ru Bing.\n

2. 雨露均沾: means treating things and people equally
</details>\nTrainees: This evil devil enchantress has made me become an incapable ruler!\n
Even Lily, who was dissatisfied before, became more or less attracted to her, but every time when she almost fell into Yu Ru Bing’s damn charm, she would remember that she was angry, then retract her gaze angrily, and curse awkwardly in a low voice: “Old woman!”\n
After the song was finished, the mentor Arte had the responsibility for leading everyone through the process. First, the trainees of Class A introduced themselves accordingly and solicited votes for themselves. Yu Ru Bing stood at the end of the team and was the last to introduce herself.\n
She took the microphone that Tan Xi handed over, said thank you, and then bowed to the audience, her long finger swept across the name tag on her waist: “Hello everyone, I am Yu Ru Bing from Hua Yao.”\n
“Choose me,” she tossed a wink at everyone charmingly, “You can see Archimedes standing in the C position and dancing for you online.”\n
The trainees were hit by her and they burst into cheers.\n
Tan Xi held her forehead with a headache: “… …”\n
Although… I think Archimedes will sooner or later open his coffin lid and come out to sue you.\n
Himejoshi<sup>3</sup> Arte: As expected of my Sister Qiu Qiu’s woman, even the declaration for canvassing votes is so different!\n

3. 百合控: term for people who likes gl. If anyone know any official term for this kindly tell me as I only know of rotten girl or fujoshi for those women that likes bl, but currently I have not encountered any popular or official term for those that likes gl or yuri. Thank you Sow!
</details>\nThere were three minutes of deliberation for the trainees before they would enter the voting segment.\n
Of course, needless to say Chi Nuan and the others did not hesitate to write down Yu Ru Bing’s name.\n
The Class A trainees stood by the ballot box waiting for their votes, while the trainees who were in charge of voting sat in the audience whispering to each other, from time to time, they made a few clear laughs, and a few faint sounds could be heard “Oh, my handwriting is so ugly!”, “I made my goddess’s name ugly, I am guilty!”, “I want to see Archimedes dance!”.\n
The atmosphere was pleasant and harmonious.\n
After the trainees have written down who they’ve chosen, they lined up and threw their votes into the transparent ballot box one by one, then the winner of the C position would be announced on the first performance of the theme song.\n
It was the first time that Tan Xi participated in such an event, so it was inevitable that she was a little nervous. She grabbed Yu Ru Bing’s sleeve on the first instance with a solemn expression on her face.\n
Though she wasn’t afraid of it being a landslide, but just in case, what if she and Yu Ru Bing both lose in the voting? Will the company be disappointed in them?\n
Will President Tang come to the training camp to seek justice for them?\n
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became as her brows tightly wrinkled.\n
Yu Ru Bing saw her nervousness, patted her hand comfortingly, and with a sluggish tone of voice, “Calm down, don’t be afraid.”\n
Tan Xi looked at her, and wondered: “Aren’t you nervous?”\n
Tan Xi just remembered that she had never seen her panic about these things.\n
She was always hopeful and confident, and was always cool and calm, as if nothing could shake her.\n
Yu Ru Bing touched her head and comforted: “There is nothing to be nervous about.”\n
She was experienced and was in her second employment, awkward at first but became skillful later<sup>4</sup>, so of course she wouldn’t panic. And whatever the result of the vote was, she would calmly accept it.\n

</details>\nIf it was her, then that would naturally be the best, if not, then forget it. Because what she wanted was not the C position for the performance of this minor theme song, what she wanted was the C position within the group for those two years.\n
That would be the final winner.\n
However, she still had the halo of the heroine that was unwilling to be overlooked… so there was a ninety-nine percent probability that the C position would fall into her hands.\n
She then patted Tan Xi on the back, and comforted: “Don’t panic, your sister has the halo of the heroine, this C position definitely belongs to sister.”\n
What is this messed-up heroine’s halo.\n
Tan Xi said speechlessly: “…Sister, this is not a novel, wake up okay?”\n
Yu Ru Bing: “Hey, sometimes reality is more magical than fiction.”\n
Tan Xi was distracted by her, and she really calmed down a lot, then hearing her say this, she automatically adjusted her mindset as she followed on her words: “En, you are right, after all, you and the Buddha are still sisters.”\n
Yu Ru Bing suddenly realized: “Yes, I’m going to call my sister tonight and let her help me get the C position.”\n
Tan Xi: “… I think, wouldn’t Buddhism ignore this?”\n
It’s like going to worship Guanyin<sup>5</sup> for an English test, it would be in vain!\n

5. 观音: Guanyin is the Buddhist bodhisattva associated with compassion. She was first given the appellation of “Goddess of Mercy” or the Mercy Goddess by Jesuit missionaries in China.
</details>\nYu Ru Bing: “Hey, we are sisters, what kind of matter can’t be helped with? You wait, tomorrow the C position will definitely be mine!”\n
Tan Xi: “… Alright, whatever makes you happy.”\n
……\n
Today, all the trainees of <New Star Idol> filmed the regular direct shoot as they performed the theme song.\n
All the trainees wore their pink school uniforms that symbolized their girlish hearts while putting on beautiful and delicate makeups on their faces, and trying their best to maximize their personal charm.\n
The stage for the performance would be on a flexible stage with a split design, Class A would be standing in the middle, while the remaining four classes would be divided into four blocks, then during the performance, they would slowly be merged together, so for this segment the whole place became filled with the use of modern technology. The theme that will be used were mainly the color pink and black, with those two hues contrasting each other, the visual effect would be just right.\n
Arte, who also serves as the host, was also suited up and stood on the stage with the Class A trainees, then faced the camera with his signature warm smile: “Next, we will announce the result of who will be standing on the C position for the performance of the theme song.”\n
He opened the card in his hand: “The result seems to be what everyone expected.”\n
Everyone raised their heads together, tacitly looking at Yu Ru Bing — the great demon king and social butterfly of <New Star Idol>.\n
Arte: “Let’s congratulate –”\n
“Yu Ru Bing for getting the C position for the theme song!”\n
Yu Ru Bing displayed a pleasantly surprised smile, and when she turned her head, she secretly gave Tan Xi a wink: My sister is flexible, right?\n
Tan Xi who had a tacit understanding: “… …”\n
Rulai Buddha’s business is so wide?\n
……\n
Soon, the second episode of <New Star Idol> was broadcasted, and with the release of the regular direct shoot, it was no accident that Yu Ru Bing sucked in another wave of fans.\n
@Gu gu gu gu: Cupid, the god of love, shot an arrow at me, I’m gone! Vote! Vote for her!!!\n
@Not as good as cranes: Damn, damn, my wife is amazing! How can she look so beautiful in a normal coat??\n
@Look at my fist: Your wife thinks her President Tang looks better.\n
@Wake up and stop dreaming: Some people in the comment area are really bad, always calling her their wife and ruining other people’s family relationships, so because of this, my Ru Bing has to coax me for a long time.\n
@No time to see you again: Hello, can you please take a look at your own id?\n
@I’m coming!!: One vote for you, one vote for me, Bing Bing will debut tomorrow. If you don’t vote, I don’t vote, when will Bing Bing get ahead!\n
@Quack: Archimedes?? What idol did I become a fan of?!\n
Not only this, but Yu Ru Bing’s CP fans<sup>6</sup> had also started to spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain, all of them popped up overnight. Any trainee who had a name in <New Star Idol> could form a CP with her. Netizens felt that she was so versatile and so easy to ship<sup>7</sup> that they impulsively and happily shipped her.\n

6. CP粉: It mainly refers to fans who love a certain couple in a variety show or a TV series, and often fantasize that they are also a pair in reality. CP can be male/female, male/male, female/female. \n7. 磕 : this means to knock, and is the equivalent of to ship in the western culture. Shipping, initially derived from the word relationship, it is the desire by fans for two or more people, either real-life celebrities or fictional characters, to be in a relationship, romantic or otherwise.\n
</details>\nEven Tang Han Qiu formed a YuTang<sup>8</sup> CP with her because she was cued by her many times.\n
<details>
<summary><b>T/N</b></summary>
8. 鱼塘: YuTang, surnames of YRB and THQ. Thanks Cerea.
</details>\nBut because Tang Han Qiu had just been living in the mouths of Yu Ru Bing and the others, nor had formally entered the public’s eye yet, and since there were also no photos of her, that person was a mystery, making everyone’s enthusiasm for that CP not particularly high.\n
So the YuTang CP<sup>9</sup> had also become the lowest one in Yu Ru Bing’s CP stock.\n
<details>
<summary><b>T/N</b></summary>
9. 鱼塘CP: fish pond CP
</details>\nTang Han Qiu, who was sitting in the President’s Office of Hua Yao, looked at the name “YuTang CP” on the screen, and fell into a weird silence.\n
The head of the Publicity Department Long You and Han Wei sat in front of her and watched her in silence.\n
Long You: It looks like President Tang’s three views were shocked.\n
But after another thought, Long You said that he could understand.\n
It was Tang Han Qiu’s first time in the entertainment industry, and although she was well-versed in surfing the Internet as she looked at serious things like watching the news, things like shipping CP’s, it was normal for her as an older person to not be able to accept it for a while.\n
But…\n
Long You thought about it and said: “President Tang, do you want to consider marketing yourself?”\n
Thanks to Yu Ru Bing’s mouth never ceasing to speak about President Tang’s fortunes, the netizens curiosity about President Tang became unprecedently strong, they were even willing to follow Hua Yao’s official Weibo and wait for photos, there were also some enthusiastic people who would come to Hua Yao’s official Weibo to check-in and post a sentence every day: “Did President Tang post any photos today?”\n
Then reply on their own: “No.”\n
This wave of inverse exchanges had attracted more attention to Hua Yao’s official Weibo account, and it also allowed Long You to see a second way to start Hua Yao’s brand — marketing Tang Han Qiu.\n
Hua Yao belonged to Tang Han Qiu, if she was willing to market herself, even if it was just a photo, it would definitely have a huge positive impact on Hua Yao.\n
After all, our big boss is so good-looking!\n
Tang Han Qiu slowly lifted her eyelids and looked at him silently.\n
Long You shuddered subconsciously, and hurriedly said, “It doesn’t mean that you should go to a variety show as an entertainer, just show your face occasionally to satisfy the curiosity of the netizens.”\n
Han Wei pushed her glasses and said, “President Tang, I think it is feasible.”\n
Hua Yao wanted to quickly enter the public’s field of vision, and Yu Ru Bing alone may not be enough. But now they could take advantage of Yu Ru Bing’s east wind<sup>10</sup> to implement the second method.\n

10. 借东风: to use somebody’s help
</details>\nTang Han Qiu handed the tablet in her hand to Han Wei, and said lightly: “No hurry.”\n
This road could be taken, but she felt that now was not the time, although she couldn’t exactly say when that “time” would come.\n
Han Wei took the tablet and continued to pay attention to the current topics, then when she refreshed the page, a new topic quickly rushed to the top three in the hot search.\n
The subject of the topic was: #New Star Idol’s trainee Yu Ru Bing is a homewrecker#\n
