Chapter 16: 0

Chapter 16

After the end-of-term exams, it was summer vacation, and the students were all free. Various major events were also held at this time, and fans of idols were also busiest at this period, especially those who followed frontline activities. They went to shows every day as if going to battlefields.

While others took advantage of the time to go on summer vacations, Jiang Liuxing carried her own equipment and rushed to various shopping malls.

Having just finished an event, she was going to go back to the hotel, but because it was too hot, she and several people she was with went to a fast food restaurant for the air conditioning. Possibly because there was an event here, McDonald's was also full of people.

"Here, here, here!" A girl with a backpack waved to several people behind her. She also hurried to grab that empty seat, "Finally found an empty seat!"

After the several people with her sat down, they also breathed a sigh of relief. Standing for a whole day, they could finally rest for a while.

"I heard scalpers say there's going to be another audition show, are you going?"

"It's too hot, I'll consider it after they announce the filming location."

"The last audition show was so stressful, I don't want to watch again."

"Who isn't? I spent nearly a million yuan on it, and in the end ranked 12th. If I hadn't brought antianxiety medicine, I would've definitely been the first to trend on social media."

As several people were talking, they suddenly realized Jiang Liuxing was still lowering her head. The person sitting opposite her reached out and fanned her, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Liuxing didn't even lift her head, and replied, "Replying to messages."

The others were going to order food, otherwise the seats would be snatched away soon. "What do you want to eat?"

"A hamburger, a Coke. You guys order." Jiang Liuxing almost rubbed her phone screen numb, still not lifting her head.

Ever since she had the idea of opening a studio, she had been busy every day with sore fingers, replying to hundreds of messages all day long. And with both her sisters in Beijing, she also planned to choose that location for her future college entrance exam volunteer location.

After taking the exam and having the idea of opening a studio, the first thing she did was rent a venue there, and then went through various licensing and certification preparations. Every day, in addition to following schedules, she also had to worry about the renovation progress of her studio. At the flower-like age of eighteen, during this time she aged eighty years.

Jiang Liuxing kept lowering her head, continuously sending messages in the family group, but no one replied to her.

"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: I'm officially moving to Beijing next week, is anyone available to meet me?"

"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: How bold! No one is replying when Ziwei Star is talking!"

"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: Reply to me!"

Just as she was about to question whether her sisters didn't love her anymore, a new message came in.

"Juyou Grocery Store: We have a performance the week after next, I'm so busy now I'm working longer hours than the air conditioner. I don't even have a second to stop."

"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: What performance?"

"Juyou Grocery Store: Seeing you, I suddenly remembered something very important."

"Juyou Grocery Store: Can you shout in your fan circle of stand sisters that we have a performance the week after next? It's the monthly evaluation of trainees, free front row seats, guaranteed handsome and beautiful youth!"

"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: No problem!"

Before Jiang Juyou could send another sentence, Jiang Liuxing immediately asked the friends at her table, "There's a company in Beijing holding an open performance the week after next, it's the monthly evaluation of trainees. Want to go?"

The idle gossip at the other table stopped abruptly:

"What day?"

"Which company?"

"Male or female?"

"Are they good-looking?"

The questions came like bullets from pea shooters. Jiang Liuxing reacted for a second before quickly stopping the questions, "Wait, let me ask."

The others waited longingly for Jiang Liuxing to lift her head, chatting with each other as they waited.

"But I was thinking of going home the week after next, school starts soon."

"Isn't it very hot in Beijing recently?"

"If it's too hot I won't go."

"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: What day is the performance? Which company? Male or female? Are they good-looking?"

"Juyou Grocery Store: I'll send you the link."

"Juyou Grocery Store: There are videos and photos of the trainees on Weibo. It starts at 5pm sharp on Friday, August 25th. We currently have ten male trainees, seven of whom will participate in the first evaluation performance. It's about 70 minutes long. The address is below."

Jiang Liuxing opened the link her sister sent. She casually flipped through it twice, and was about to say they all looked like kids when a photo caught her attention the next second.

"Oh my god..."

Hearing her reaction, the others at her table immediately squeezed their heads over. "What? What is it?"

Then in the noisy fast food restaurant, five girls pressed their heads together and marveled in unison:

"Holy crap..."

"Oh my god..."

"He looks so awesome."

The impatient ones directly grabbed her phone. "Quick, swipe to see if there are any other photos."

But when she swiped, the picture disappeared. Turned out that Weibo post only had the one photo.

"Above is Random Entertainment..." Someone read the Weibo post out loud.

"@Above is Random Entertainment Trainee: Editor dug up another photo of Ye Xing. I asked someone in the A&R department and they said this was a B-cut that's why it wasn't posted. Woo woo woo, how can anyone look this good even in a B-cut? #15-year-old Ye Xing# #Current 174cm Ye Xing# #Random Entertainment Trainee Ye Xing#"

The photo was a close-up of Ye Xing's face.

He stood under the blazing sun, looking to the right. His brows were slightly furrowed as if annoyed, but somehow the summer breeze lifted his collar, injecting vitality into the frozen moment.

The sunlight from above scattered his eyelashes, adding a youthful air to his bare face and prominent nose.

Summer, breeze, grass, youth - these four words together paint a beautiful picture.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go! I'll go!"

"What day is it? As long as it doesn't clash with when I go back to school it's fine!"

"Are there any other photos? Didn't it say this was a B-cut?"

"Is this the only trainee?"

"Check out the others quickly!"

"What's his name, Random Entertainment?"

The few who were previously languid from the heat were suddenly injected with chicken blood. Some continued squeezing next to Jiang Liuxing, while others returned to their seats to search for the account on their own phones.

Jiang Liuxing was also pleasantly surprised by the photo. She didn't expect such a low-key company to recruit a trainee like this.

The photos and videos they could find on Weibo were all browsed through. Apart from that Ye Xing, there were a few others who also looked decent. The rest were quite ordinary.

Maybe a small hottie compared to the general public, but nothing special compared to Ye Xing they just saw. It was probably because they didn't have high expectations initially that when they saw Ye Xing's photo the feeling of surprise was so strong. They flipped through the photos and videos over and over, even saving them to their phones.

As they discussed and commented on their phones, Jiang Liuxing also gave her sister feedback on her friends' reviews. f𝗿𝚎eweb𝗻o𝐯𝐞l.𝚌om

"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: Your company sure has good taste. That Ye Xing really left a strong impression."

"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: They said they'll also help promote it. You must arrange a good viewing spot for us."

"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: Speaking of which, how's his ability? If his skills are good too, I feel like he could easily get popular."

Jiang Juyou looked at the messages from her sister and fell silent. "..."

Ability huh.
