Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 26 - Stand by Luo Ning
Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Stand by Luo Ning
Chapter 26 -26 Stand by Luo Ning
Bo Xiangxiang scoffed at Luo Ning’s words, convinced that the woman must be fearing no one would choose her, hence her opposition.
“If we decide by drawing lots, I don’t think it’s as exciting as choosing each other.”
After speaking to Luo Ning, she turned to the others and asked, “What do the teachers think?”
Lu Xun was the first to speak, “I agree with Luo Ning’s viewpoint. With so many excellent students, it’s difficult for me to pick just five. I’d rather leave it to fate.”
That Bo Xiangxiang was too scheming. The suggestion she put forward earlier was clearly meant to target Luo Ning.
Luo Ning did perform well yesterday, but she hadn’t previously shown any abilities in composing music, singing, or dancing, molded into a vase-like persona by her agent. Moreover, enduring constant negative publicity recently, the students were bound to be influenced by these factors and thereby not choose her.
If that were to happen, the outcome would be quite awkward, and the students forced to pick Luo Ning would probably feel uncomfortable, thus holding her back.
Fortunately, Luo Ning saw through Bo Xiangxiang’s scheme and raised an objection.
Bo Xiangxiang, upon hearing Lu Xun’s immediate and uncompromising opposition in favor of Luo Ning, was unbearably upset.
Why should Luo Ning earn Lu Xun’s favor? Just because she can cook?
The more Luo Ning opposed it, the more Bo Xiangxiang wanted to make it happen.
Thus, swallowing her bitterness, she looked at Ji Xinghang with eyes full of expectation and asked, “What about Teacher Ji?”
Ji Xinghang was about to speak when suddenly an idea popped into his head—he should support Bo Xiangxiang; she was right.
He didn’t respond right away, but his gaze shifted to Luo Ning.
Noticing her indifferent expression, as if she didn’t care at all about his opinion, his heart felt a sting.
Consequently, he forced himself to ignore that thought and replied, “I also find it difficult to choose. Leaving it up to destiny seems nice to me.”
After he finished speaking, Luo Ning noticed a wisp of white air dissipating from Bo Xiangxiang.
Hearing Ji Xinghang’s words, Bo Xiangxiang showed an incredulous look. He was actually opposing her too? How could this be?
She didn’t know why, but she felt Ji Xinghang shouldn’t be like this.
Her mind went briefly blank before she regained her composure and, with a forced smile, said, “So, Mr. Lu and Teacher Ji both believe in fate. Then why don’t we just draw lots?”
Lu Xun and Ji Xinghang were her goals, so no matter how nauseated she felt inside, she had to cater to them.
As soon as she said this, Wei Yao and the others were displeased.
What was Bo Xiangxiang doing? She had made the decision without asking for their opinions?
Even though they agreed with Luo Ning’s viewpoint, Bo Xiangxiang’s behavior seemed disrespectful. Just because their status and popularity weren’t as high as those of Lu Xun’s duo, did that mean they should be ignored?
At that moment, Luo Ning looked at the group and spoke, “What about the teachers’ opinions? The drawing of lots I proposed might not be the best. If you have other suggestions, please bring them up, and let’s discuss together.”
She realized that with the removal of the shackles of the Book’s power, this time’s guest included Bo Xiangxiang’s idol, God Lu, making Bo Xiangxiang too eager to show off. Consequently, her actions lacked coherence and the previous life’s calm.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have tried so eagerly to please Lu Xun and Ji Xinghang while ignoring the feelings of others.
Indeed, with her words, Wei Yao and the others felt appeased, feeling respected.
Tong Jia smiled and said, “I personally believe a lot in fate, so I’m in favor of drawing lots.”
Wei Yao, Chai Jing, and Su Qinglan all nodded in agreement, “I also agree with drawing lots.”

Bo Xiangxiang, capable of being a heroine, wasn’t stupid. She quickly figured out that Luo Ning was definitely doing this deliberately, aiming to turn opinion against her.
What really irked her was that everyone had actually agreed with Luo Ning’s suggestion, as if she were the one being isolated.
“I’m cringing for Bo Xiangxiang.”
“I’ve come to realize Bo Xiangxiang is somewhat self-centered. She was like this when cooking and now with making suggestions. Only caring about what’s fun and exciting for herself, why doesn’t she consider the difficulty it might pose for God Lu and Ji Xinghang in choosing team members?”
“Exactly, and just now she was so disrespectful to my Tongtong and the others, not even asking for their opinions. Why the special treatment?”
“Luo Ning, on the other hand, is much more polite and considerate of the other participants’ feelings.”
“Everyone has been saying Bo Xiangxiang is an angelic little thing, but I’m not feeling that at all, am I?”
“Xiangxiang just wants to make the show fun and exciting, which is good for the effect of the program. Why are you all thinking so negatively?”
Bo Xiangxiang’s fans immediately came out to defend her.
“Yeah, when Xiangxiang made a suggestion, Luo Ning publicly refuted her without giving face. Where’s the politeness in that? She’s obviously disrespectful.”
“Xiangxiang hasn’t offended Luo Ning. Why is she targeting her like this?”
The Ning Fans and other members of the audience were speechless.
“It was Bo Xiangxiang who first asked for Ningbao’s opinion, okay? Voicing dissent means disrespect and impoliteness, what kind of logic is that? Are Xiangxiang’s suggestions truth?”
“Seriously, if you won’t accept others voicing different opinions, then why bother hypocritically asking?”
“Like idol, like fan – both are self-centered and inconsiderate of others’ feelings.”
In her previous life, Bo Xiangxiang’s suggestion had been praised by netizens after getting the guests’ approval, but this time, it had the complete opposite effect.
The director actually had a preference for Bo Xiangxiang’s suggestion, yet Lu Xun agreed with drawing lots, so it was difficult for him to object.
He then looked at the forty students and asked, “We’ll decide the groups by drawing lots. Any objections?”
“No!” Fate was in their own hands, and everyone was more accommodating with that; it all came down to luck.
The director nodded with a smile and said, “Since the guest mentors and the students have reached a consensus, let’s draw lots then.”
“We’ve written the eight teachers’ names on slips of paper, five copies each, and mixed them together. The students will draw to see who they’ll be grouped with.”
The production team quickly came over with two boxes.
“For fairness, the students will draw a number according to their current popularity ranking and then draw lots for grouping according to the number.”
Otherwise, those who drew last would have no real choices left.
Naturally, the students had no objections, and the one currently ranked first in popularity began the lot-drawing process. This also allowed the guest mentors to see the popularity rankings of all forty participants.
After drawing the order, everyone went on to draw lots for grouping another time.
In her previous life, when that nitpicking student was drawing lots, Luo Ning’s fingertips twitched subtly, leading him to unconsciously be drawn to a slip of paper and pick it up.
The student wasn’t particularly skilled but was full of self-confidence, always feeling superior and thinking it was unfair whenever anyone else outperformed him.
And he was particularly scheming, calculating against his teammates with hidden caution. Better not to let such a person cause trouble for others—it was best if he dealt with Bo Xiangxiang internally.
He couldn’t wait to open the slip and found the name Bo Xiangxiang, whom he had always liked, revealing a look of both regret and relief.
Regret at not having drawn Lu Xun or Ji Xinghang, and relief at the good fortune of not ending up with Luo Ning.
Luo Ning didn’t intervene in the rest of the drawing process—it was genuinely left to fate.
