However, with a total of almost 84 million votes, Xu ultimately finished the show at rank 11, solidifying her position and securing a debut spot in Rocket Girls 101.[8]

On June 23, 2018, the same day of the finale of Produce 101 China, Xu officially debuted as a member of Rocket Girls 101 and released their debut song titled "Rocket Girls."[9]
