All the contestants were gathered in the familiar studio where they were about to find out who would be eliminated.

"Ugh, do we really have to endure this torture again?" 

"I can already feel my heart beating fast. Let's just get it over with."

Tang Susu accompanied Xia Mengrui to the group of gossiping girls and offered some words of reassurance, saying, "Why stress so much? Just try to stay calm, or you might end up having a panic attack."

One of the girls laughed and replied, "As if that's simple."

Another girl added a dose of reality, saying, "Well, you should be concerned. In the last elimination round, you were in the 70th position. Your rank was even lower than Xia Mengrui's." She then turned to Xia Mengrui and continued, "And you, Xia Mengrui...It's quite lucky that Director Du didn't ask you to leave, especially considering your father's situation."
