"Most impressive?" Some people in the crowd voiced their doubts, as, in their view, the five female performers' combination of singing, dancing, and performing had been flawless—how could any other program possibly surpass that? Even the live judges were wide-eyed in amazement. Facing the audience, the celebrity host turned to Gao Liang and said, "Ouang, didn't you just mean to say that? Because, we just conducted a viewership survey, and the performance of those five girls was absolutely stunning—many television viewers were absolutely thrilled, and this program has set a new record for viewership among our entertainment shows." Listening to this, Qiu Xin Yue, Zhao Mei Xuan, Xu Xin Yan, Zhang Xiao Li, and Chen Yan Ling felt deeply pleased, never expecting that Gao Liang would speak up now: "Today, we are no longer F4—we are F5!" "F5?" The crowd stirred. "Exactly! F5!" "High-light's firm voice carried through the microphone and filled the entire music hall. Before the audience had time to catch their breath, he added, 'F4 has gone—F5 is here! Now, please welcome the other three students! Let's give them a round of applause!' What on earth is going on? Qiu Xin Yue, Zhao Mei Xuan, Xu Xin Yan, Zhang Xiao Li, and Chen Yan Ling exchanged glances, stunned almost to the point of fainting. Somehow, F3 had already taken the stage. Zhao Yuanhang, Fan Wei Ze, Zuo Tian Pei, and High-light and Gao Ruolan stood in a straight line. Each of them posed with confidence—Gao Ruolan in the center, High-light and Zhao Yuanhang on one side, and Fan Wei Ze and Zuo Tian Pei on the other. 'Wow! Absolutely stunning! So cool!' Xia Le Tao exclaimed, her voice rising in excitement. 'F5, the Five Golden Blossoms—let's see who's the most impressive!' a male student joked. To everyone's amazement, F5 gracefully stepped onto the stage to perform. A song titled "I'm the Brightest," sung by the top young male vocalists, was delivered by F5: "I'm the brightest, shining alongside the lights and fireworks; though my dreams shine even brighter... The faces once lost in shadows gradually glow, while I gently illuminate my sorrows. The wings of beauty now possess the strength to soar through storms and rain." "Wow! Look over there!" The crowd erupted into cheers. It turned out that F5 not only sang but also danced on stage. Left Tianpei, widely regarded as the musical prince in the audience, naturally displayed his outstanding musical talent—his vocal performance was superb, and as he sang, he effortlessly played the harmonica, its melody flowing smoothly and beautifully, captivating many students. Zhao Yuanhang, without anyone noticing, had started his specially designed racing car, circling the stage with lively grace, performing impressive and stylish driving maneuvers that won over a large group of girls. Fan Wei Ze executed a dazzling Nike basketball move, launching an impressive slam dunk with outstanding vertical leap—simply second only to Yao Ming, sending a wave of gasps among the female audience. What was Gao Ruolan's specialty? Singing. Unexpectedly, her vocal performance was quite solid; she approached each note with great attention, though she didn't quite match Qiu Xingyue in both singing and dancing. Still, her unwavering dedication to music deeply inspired many. Her voice was lively and heartfelt: "Once, I just wanted to sing whenever I felt like it, shining brightly. This summer, the brightest sunlight has come to me. You gave me dreams, and I've bravely moved forward, through wind and rain, giving you a gentle shoulder tap..." "What a pure, delicate voice! Truly like a velvet soprano!" A male student from a music conservatory was completely enchanted by Gao Ruolan's voice and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This praise gave Gao Ruolan great confidence, and she performed with even greater concentration. This time, she managed each scale with remarkable precision, and the judges, who had initially furrowed their brows, suddenly relaxed, nodding in approval. Gao Liang showcased impressive taekwondo routines on stage, each movement fresh and fashionable, winning the admiration of many students. Qiu Xinxue closely watched every move of Gao Liang, deeply impressed. Zhao Meixuan, Xu Xinyan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Chen Yanling found themselves naturally stepping and dancing along to their movements, drawing a stern glance from Qiu Xinxue—yet they could not help being captivated by the dazzling performance of the F5 team. F5 sang in unison, energizing the audience, who joined in: "Now I just sing whenever I feel like it, I'm the brightest, this summer I've been touched by warm eyes, by familiar faces, by my own unique gaze, I've reached heaven, wiping away dreams, I'm the brightest..." The song filled the entire concert hall, and everyone was spellbound by F5's outstanding performance. Applause erupted, sustained and enthusiastic. The celebrity host, watching the viewership ratings steadily rise, was overjoyed and declared excitedly, "F5's performance was absolutely brilliant! Their viewership rating surpassed the previous five-girl group by 20%—a true miracle, a miracle! This has now set a new record for viewership among all programs in the city!" The committee experts nodded in unison, smiled at each other, and awarded a score that left everyone stunned: 10 out of 10. Absolutely perfect. Indeed, the acting and charisma are truly outstanding—such a program deserves a perfect score of ten; otherwise, it would be a great遗憾. This is precisely the reason given by the expert judges. Highlighted an air of indifference that left everyone in awe. "Hmph! We'll see who wins!" Qiu Xin Yue甩ed a strand of her flowing hair and waved to Zhao Meixuan, Xu Xinyan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Chen Yanling, who reluctantly followed. To Qiu Xin Yue, high-light called out, "You're a complete fool! You won't beat me!" "Dragon! You'll lose badly!" Qiu Xin Yue turned sharply, her voice full of resentment. The large conference hall hosted the thirteenth Board of Directors meeting with great pomp. Representatives from the major shareholders and the school were all present, and Gao Qingxue, representing the Liaoning Innovation Group, attended this significant gathering. "The board has added a very important new member!" The principal opened the meeting by clearly presenting a report titled "Academic and Administrative Operations of Saint Dorothy Mary Business School." "Who is this person? Tell us more!" The shareholders eagerly asked. "Unfortunately, the representative didn't make it, but they've already injected substantial funds into the university according to the agreement, holding an 80% stake and thus becoming a board member!" The principal spoke with excitement. The major shareholders exchanged murmurs—80% ownership sounded daunting; it would surely require billions of yuan! Only they knew that this must be an outstanding group, yet beyond the Liangchu Group, who else in Hanchai could possibly surpass them? Gao Qingxue suddenly slumped into the sofa chair, stunned, and only after a moment did she regain her composure, turning to the principal and saying, "I don't need to know who the board members are—after all, we're an IT company with limited investment in education. What I'm most concerned about right now is the quality of the school's education. Please provide us with a detailed report on that!" "Certainly! That has always been a key concern of ours." "The principal opened up and delivered a detailed report, touching on various aspects such as campus development, faculty strength, and both soft and hard infrastructure, speaking so thoroughly that the major shareholders nodded in agreement. "Enough!" Gao Qingxue had grown impatient. She stood up, facing the principal directly, and asked, "May I ask, who is the most outstanding student at this school, and who is the least diligent?" "Ah, that's something we'd need to consult our most accomplished business teacher," the principal said, spreading his hands to indicate that Song Sian, sitting beside him, should respond. "Ms. Ouyang! We've recently been pleasantly surprised by a transfer student who excels in all areas—moral character, academics, physical education, and arts—outshining even the previously consistently recognized top student, Gao Ruolan. Look! Here are the two students' academic records; you can compare them side by side!" After saying this, Song Sian handed over the two student files. Gao Qingxue glanced at her with sharp eyes and said, "Xiu Xin Yue's foreign language skills are clearly superior to those of Gao Ruolan, let alone her performances in dance and music. Indeed, she is a well-rounded student."
