"Top Three: Yu Xiaoman! Bai Suxiang! Wang Xiaohong!"
As soon as the results were announced, a roar erupted from below the stage.
"Impossible! Impossible, what qualifications do they have?"
"They don't even look good, and they didn't bring anything out after going in, so how could it be them?"
"There's something fishy, there's definitely something fishy!"
"Protest, we protest! The organizers have been unfair this time, we demand to see the assessment process and standards!"
Someone, it's unclear who, rallied the crowd. The beach was in an uproar, with curses and cries intermingled.
Hong Yi had seen many such scenes.
She simply took a deep breath, too lazy to even lift her eyelids.
She had seen too many arguments over a million-year salary.
They had come through this before, and after experiencing it many times, they had become accustomed to it.
"We demand the results be announced!"
A girl boldly requested, and most of the other girls agreed.
Bai Suxiang was initially quite surprised. An action she had thought was doomed to failure had, from some unknown aspect, saved her.
Not only did she want answers, but Fang Xiaoxia wanted to know even more.
How had the million-year salary her benefactor had so vociferously promised vanished in an instant? The tears that unbiddenly welled in her eyes had already blurred her vision.
She no longer had the energy to look at the set of keys and the designer handbag in her hand.
"According to our usual practice, we do not disclose the selection assessment process. Please disperse!"
The host explained.
Hong Yi shot a glare at that girl. She was the daughter of the deputy mayor of Minghua City.
Although she had only seen her picture in the newspaper once, Hong Yi remembered her.
Eidetic memory seemed to be her key skill that had allowed her to dominate the company for so many years.
"No, if we don't get an explanation today, we won't leave!"
It was a bit unreasonable, but understandable for girls of that age.
The host, caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, didn't respond immediately.
Hong Yi gestured, and he temporarily turned off his microphone, hurrying over to Hong Yi's side.
"Announce the process!"
"What? This is against regulations."
"I said announce it, and I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"
Hong Yi's words were decisive.
The host nodded, turned back to the center of the stage, and announced, "We will announce the process."
This was unprecedented. It had never happened before and might never happen again.
Hong Yi's decision was influenced by the girl's identity.
The company was in the process of negotiating a major business deal, and the boss had repeatedly warned her not to cause any trouble. The approval for this major deal was in the hands of that very deputy mayor.
At this critical juncture, any misstep would undoubtedly lead to complete failure.
Besides, what could a mere girl do even if she knew the assessment process?
The recordings of the assessment process were meant to control them. The more people knew, the easier it was to control them.
"We will now announce the assessment process!"
As the host's voice faded, everyone's gaze was fixed on the screen.
The entire process of Yu Xiaoman was met with calm observation. Starting from the girl behind her, the other girls began to whisper unnaturally amongst themselves.
"No, don't show any more! Don't show any more!"
It was still the same girl speaking.
But this time, no one else responded.
She was the one who demanded the announcement, and she was also the one who demanded it stop, as if this place were her own backyard.
"You want it to stop, so it stops? Too late!"
Hong Yi, who had somehow taken the host's microphone, said.
She felt completely confident. The recordings were leverage. The more people who knew, the more advantageous it was.
After watching the entire process, Fang Xiaoxia finally understood that the assessment was about taking something away.
Although modern women didn't place as much importance on losing their virtue,
There was a qualitative difference between losing one's virtue and not losing it.
Hong Yi naturally knew the purpose of this assessment. Recruiting young girls to serve the company was the ultimate goal.
But the selection process was like finding jade.
The purer, the higher the value, and the greater the marginal benefit.
Although they would all eventually enter that stage, only those who made it to the end were the featured performers, the ones who could be molded into the "Flower of Red Island."
This was what the company needed, and it was also the goal Hong Yi had striven for.
Each selection was a preparation for the appearance of the next key figure.
However, the emergence of those important figures always brought them a certain amount of pressure.
To mitigate the pressure that might arise in the reception of Red Island, they had to prepare in advance.
The girls who had watched the entire process fell silent.
Understanding each other's sordid affairs made them even more cautious.
"From now on, you can call each other sisters! Although you've been eliminated from the million-year salary job recruitment, the company has other positions with equally good salaries, you can consider them!"
Hong Yi's words were like a pie falling from the sky, causing the girls to chatter excitedly once again.
After a while, Hong Yi beckoned, and someone came to escort the eliminated girls to another area.
Fang Xiaoxia shook hands with Bai Suxiang. Neither of them could have imagined that their future meetings would only be separated by a barrier.
Bai Suxiang felt somewhat relieved by Hong Yi's mention of suitable job opportunities.
At least she wouldn't see Fang Xiaoxia leaving the island in disgrace.
"Alright, you three, follow me!"
Hong Yi said, leading the three of them to another location.
This time, they didn't head towards the first island but directly towards the second island.
This was Bai Suxiang's first time setting foot on the long-anticipated island, and she was filled with curiosity about everything there.
Of course, she was even more eager to know how she could get close to Bai Xiaoxiao.
"From today onwards, except during training hours when you must be on the second island, you can freely travel between the first and second islands. No one will stop you!"
Hong Yi said, distributing a badge to each of the three.
The badges were green, seemingly symbolizing unimpeded passage.
This filled Bai Suxiang with even more pleasant surprise. The freedom to travel meant she could go find Bai Xiaoxiao anytime.
Liu Sando had said that she was on the second island.
After receiving her badge and training schedule, Bai Suxiang decided to explore the second island.
Although she was in the same recruitment batch as Yu Xiaoman, she and Wang Xiaohong seemed to be deliberately distancing themselves from Bai Suxiang.
Bai Suxiang didn't mind; this distance allowed her more freedom of movement. Sudan Novel Network.
However, it also brought another potential danger: constant scrutiny from others.
As Bai Suxiang searched for Bai Xiaoxiao's whereabouts, she never imagined that Yu Xiaoman and Wang Xiaohong were secretly following her.
