Tian Jiaxuan stepped forward:
"I will announce the first group member, and she has secured the eighth debut position."
The atmosphere in the venue was tense to the extreme. The audience below shouted the names of their favorite contestants like mad, while the mentors and host on stage played up the suspense.
Amid this agonizing buildup, deliberately creating suspense, Tian Jiaxuan finally announced the name:
"She is: Yang Ni."
As the words left her lips, Yang Ni burst into tears of joy and bowed deeply. At that moment, all the frustration, suffering, doubts, and sadness she had endured over the days surged through her heart.
Everyone else was caught off guard, as they thought Yang Ni wasn't likely to debut.
After all, with Li Zimeng already from Thailand, there seemed no need for another person from the same country.
Li Zimeng also grew visibly tense, fearing that she might be abandoned by the company in the final moment.
"Congratulations, Yang Ni!"
"Well-deserved!"
