"Ah, got one, got one, but it's just a blue light."
Someone's words, carried to the backstage.
Aunty Hong, upon hearing this, wasn't as overjoyed as she was upon hearing about a red light, but she was content nonetheless.
Wang Xiaohong's condition, as long as she wasn't rejected, was already a cause for immense gratitude.
A blue light's value was much smaller, only one million.
Compared to the human traffickers, this price was already considerable.
If Bai Suxiang had taken the stage, it would have undoubtedly been more than this sum.
Aunty Hong dared not think about it, nor dare she tell Bai Suxiang.
The appearance of a blue light signified the end of the talent show.
The appearance of a blue light meant the quality of the seed contestants was not highly regarded.
Talent shows, by and large, followed unwritten rules, with rankings proceeding in order of appearance.
Hence the saying, the earlier one appears, the more advantageous it is.
"Alright, this talent show is about to conclude. If any of you..."
The host's words reached Bai Suxiang's ears.
Her head instantly buzzed.
It was over? That meant she, too, had been rejected.
Then, the mission had failed before it even began!
"Alas! What a shame, such a promising talent, yet no chance to appear!"
Aunty Hong sighed, patting Bai Suxiang's shoulder once more.
But just then, thunderous applause erupted from the front again.
"Clap clap clap! Clap clap clap!"
The intensity was so great it could have torn down the entire curtain.
"Someone's lit a card!"
Someone shouted loudly.
"Really? This is unprecedented!"
"Indeed, look, look over there!"
In a corner of the stage, a lit card, as large as a head, appeared.
Since the entire audience area was shrouded in darkness, with light only on the stage, a lit card in a corner of the venue instantly became the focus of the entire hall.
This lit card indicated that someone wished to see the subsequent contestants.
Of course, only the distinguished guests of Red Island, and some even more esteemed guests, possessed the right to light a card.
"Hahaha, the opportunity has arrived, your opportunity has arrived, you must perform well!"
Aunty Hong heard the discussions from outside the venue, suddenly understood something, and said with a smile to Bai Suxiang.
Bai Suxiang's earlier frustration instantly subsided; she had to prepare for her imminent appearance.
"Since our distinguished guest has lit a card, according to the rules, we invite the next lady! Bai Suxiang, shine on stage!"
The host's words were filled with excitement.
He too was witnessing this for the first time. Although he knew of this rule privately, it had never materialized before.
This led him to privately believe that some rules formulated by certain people in the company were pure nonsense.
Hearing her name, Bai Suxiang took a deep breath and walked out from behind the curtain that separated her from the world.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
The applause was deafening.
As Bai Suxiang stepped onto the stage, she couldn't see anything.
In the distance was a patch of darkness, with only a man holding a microphone standing at the edge of the stage.
Clearly, that was the host.
Below the stage, it was pitch black.
She had experienced such occasions at school, but never had she felt so nervous as she did now.
She walked along the stage step by step, at her own pace.
The characteristic of this attire was that it was typical of Chinese women's clothing. As long as one walked steadily, it would appear elegant and graceful.
Her steps were firm.
"Red light!"
Someone shouted.
This talent show was undoubtedly astonishing.
Who would have thought that a show, on the verge of ending, would suddenly take such a turn?
Even less expected was that the third contestant to appear would be even more intoxicating than the one before, even more refreshing and captivating than the one who first lit a red light.
Upon hearing the words "Red light," Aunty Hong excitedly covered her chest.
She hadn't anticipated this outcome.
"Beautiful, truly beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, I think she's even more beautiful than Yu Xiaoman!"
"What are you saying! Yu Xiaoman is the beautiful one, especially her chest, it's truly..."
"Get lost! What do you know! With your taste, alas..."
"Another red light!"
"What?"
All eyes turned towards another corner of the venue.
Indeed, two red lights had been lit there.
"Two red lights?"
Aunty Hong could hardly believe her ears.
This meant Bai Suxiang had earned her six million.
She had made an absolute fortune!
It also further proved that her training had yielded exciting results.
Yu Xiaoman and Wang Xiaohong, who had walked off the talent stage to the backstage, stared intently at the stage.
Their minds were a jumble of emotions.
Who would have thought that an opponent who was about to be eliminated would be revived?
Perhaps she'd gotten some incredible luck!
Wang Xiaohong was relatively fine. She was already inferior to Bai Suxiang and had failed to prevent her from appearing. Although frustrated, she could do nothing.
Yu Xiaoman was different. She hadn't been jealous of Bai Suxiang's appearance.
After all, she had been the first to appear, and she believed she was not inferior to Bai Suxiang in any aspect.
Yet, even so, after her complete walk on stage, only one light had been lit.
What right did Bai Suxiang have to compare with her?
In terms of figure, she wasn't as good; in terms of looks, she was also slightly worse; and her attire was even more outdated!
Even on the streets nowadays, not many people wore that style of clothing.
But no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she couldn't change the fact that Bai Suxiang had indeed received two red lights.
Yu Xiaoman pouted her lips and gritted her teeth.
"Look quickly! Another light!"
"What? Impossible!"
As someone exclaimed loudly, Yu Xiaoman secretly lifted the curtain and peeked through the gap at the opposite side of the stage. Indeed, there were three lights!
Aunty Hong was so overjoyed she felt she was about to faint!
Three lights meant an income close to ten million!
This was not something ordinary people could achieve!
Even when Lin Kexin had appeared, she had only garnered a mere three million!
Aunty Hong also couldn't believe her ears. Risking punishment, she secretly lifted a corner of the curtain and glanced at the opposite side of the stage.
Seeing three flashing red lights, she quickly lowered the curtain.
Even while trying her best to suppress her inner excitement, she could feel her heart racing.
In one of the VIP rooms on the other side of the stage, Liu Sandao was looking down at the stage.
One of the red lights was his, but he wondered who had lit the other two.
He now had a general understanding of Red Island's rules.
These selected girls would be arranged uniformly for VIPs.
As for the origins of these VIPs, they were all wealthy or influential individuals from China.
Of course, the talent show was arranged by Red Island. Surprisingly, anyone who met certain criteria could also enter Red Island.
For this purpose, Liu Sandao had to put in some effort, registering a company with a displayed registered capital of 50 billion online.
