When Wang Xixi returned to the group, she found that among the 15 people, she was the last one back. The others had already returned much earlier.
Undoubtedly, because her livestream ranking had been in the top three, she debuted in the second position.
The first place remained unshaken!
However, as Wang Xixi had anticipated, the wealthy young ladies with lower rankings managed to secure debut spots through their financial power during the livestreams.
One of the girls was quite capable. Before the livestream, her ranking was 8th, just one place above Wang Xixi. But unfortunately, her livestream had a mediocre response, and she regrettably missed out on a debut spot.
However, missing a debut spot didn't necessarily mean she couldn't stay in the entertainment industry. She was fortunate to be noticed by an entertainment company and had already signed with them.
Given that her appearance perfectly fit current aesthetic standards and she had a substantial fan base, the company signed her and immediately began a transformation, changing her style and resources.
Apart from the 9 members who formed the group, the other 6 also signed with entertainment companies. Even without a debut spot, they had gained many fans.

One day, after receiving a phone call, Shen Yao drove away from home and headed to the provincial capital.
This was because the first batch of black tiger seedlings she had ordered from outside had arrived.
Shen Yao drove there, but this time she didn't bring her second brother along. His newly raised chicks were now ready for market. Thanks to her elder brother's private kitchen, the chicks raised by the second brother were in high demand, with supply unable to keep up.
Her second brother was currently expanding the chicken coop and was incredibly busy, rushing from one task to another.
As the only free person in the family, Shen Yao felt she couldn't be too selfish, so she didn't ask anyone from the Shen family to accompany her.
The Shen family: Humph, an excuse!
Upon arriving in the provincial capital, Shen Yao's first act was to go to a milk tea shop and order a cup of grass jelly with milk, something she had been craving for a long time.
She also ordered two more milk teas, one taro bubble and one mango pomelo sago, both of which she had been thinking about for a while.
Yes, it wasn't that the Shen family didn't accompany her, but rather that she didn't *want* them to!
She wasn't allowed to eat this or that. She hadn't had milk tea in a long time, and even when she secretly tried to have some, she was always caught, followed by a lecture.
The reason was that during her six-month ultrasound, the doctor had said that the two babies were of different sizes, one larger than the other, and advised her to maintain a balanced diet.
Shen Yao: !!!
How could she maintain a balanced diet? Wasn't her spiritual spring water enough?!
But that was the reality. Shen Yao's two babies in her womb, one was particularly robust, and the other was exceptionally small. However, thankfully, the development of both babies was quite good?
The only dilemma was how to "diet" the larger baby and help the smaller one gain weight!
As a result, after the Shen family learned of the news, Shen Yao was forbidden from having any snacks or unhealthy foods!
Drinking one cup and carrying two cups of milk tea, Shen Yao slowly walked into the logistics company.
This logistics company had collaborated with the Shen family many times. Therefore, the owner usually called ahead to inquire if the delivery could be sent directly when he saw an order from the Shen family.
But this time was different. This batch of seedlings made the logistics owner very uncertain, as the black tiger fruit seedlings delivered didn't resemble seedlings at all.
Rather than calling them seedlings, they looked more like withered vines.
As soon as Shen Yao entered, she was warmly attended to by the owner. After all, this was a major client for their logistics company!
He led Shen Yao to the place where the black tiger seedlings were stored. Her divine sense had already detected a vibrant life force.
After a brief scan with her divine sense, Shen Yao nodded, "These seedlings are good. Just have someone deliver them to the Shen family."
Hearing this, the owner relaxed. "Miss Shen, what kind of fruit trees did you buy? I've never seen them before."
It wasn't the owner's fault for being unobservant. Looking at these bare, grayish vines, it was indeed difficult to identify them.
After paying, Shen Yao left the logistics company. Since she had the chance to get out today, she wanted to indulge herself.
However, Shen Yao's wish was quickly shattered.
"Hey, little girl, do you know where you are to park here? Did you pay the parking fee!"
A man with dyed yellow hair, chewing on a toothpick, leaned against Shen Yao's car in a rakish manner.
Shen Yao saw that the man with yellow hair was holding a small booklet and didn't know what it was for.
Seeing the man like this, that familiar feeling in Shen Yao's stomach returned, and she felt nauseous again!
It wasn't that Shen Yao was being dramatic; it was just that the yellow-haired man's attire was truly pushing Shen Yao's limits.
The man was wearing a short black shirt, so short that Shen Yao could see the waistband of his underwear peeking out!
He wore ankle-length, slim-fit jeans and leopard-print driving shoes. What was most unbearable was that the yellow-haired man was extremely self-confident.
If it were just this, Shen Yao might have dismissed it as personal style. But she couldn't handle it; she could faintly see bits of green vegetable leaves stuck to his teeth in his wide-open mouth!
Shen Yao turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.
However, the yellow-haired man mistook Shen Yao's reaction for shyness!
"Whoa, you're a pretty little thing. Come on, get out and have a chat with me, and I won't charge you parking fees."
Because Shen Yao was sitting down and her clothes were loose, the short, yellow-haired man didn't notice that Shen Yao was pregnant.
Shen Yao ignored him. She no longer felt like eating hot pot, so she started the car, intending to leave.
She didn't want to bother with the yellow-haired man's talk about parking fees. The parking spots here were all free, so where did parking fees come from!
"Screeeech..."
Shen Yao slammed on the brakes. Damn it, that yellow-haired man had just rushed in front of her car!
If she hadn't slammed on the brakes, that yellow-haired man would have been hit!
Shen Yao looked at the fearless yellow-haired man and felt increasingly disgusted.
"Don't go, what's the hurry? You almost hit me. Get out and apologize to me!"
This time, the yellow-haired man walked directly to the car window and winked at Shen Yao as he spoke.
Shen Yao: ...
Unable to hold back any longer, Shen Yao immediately opened the car door and ran out.
*Ugh*...
Seeing Shen Yao retching uncontrollably, the yellow-haired man was clearly taken aback. Then, as if he had realized something, he looked at Shen Yao with a contemptuous and lewd gaze.
*Pfft*, he thought she was a pure little girl, but she turned out to be a pregnant woman!
She looked like she had just come of age, but she was already pregnant? And driving such a nice car to this place, *tsk*, clearly not a proper young lady!
"Hey, are you done throwing up? Hurry up and come here to obediently pay your parking fee!
The yellow-haired man's tone had lost its earlier flirtatiousness and was now filled with disdain.
