Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...
Over the next few days, the new members of the Sun Band studied music under the guidance of Shen Chao's company.
"Sure enough, professionals do professional things. Our band used to be worse than a makeshift troupe," Dai Qingrou said with emotion.
“Indeed.” Sun Yuze nodded. “There are music teachers here, all kinds of instruments, and even lighting.”
Chu Yi put his hands on his hips and said, "Don't be discouraged. When we become famous and popular all over the country, we'll have everything we need, from bread to milk."
The five of them were already fantasizing about their future lives of fame.
"When the time comes, I will become a famous singer and lead vocalist, my fame will surpass that of Chu Lao Er, and I will be remembered in history. My name will be written into the Chu family genealogy!" Chu Yi said happily.
Snap snap snap~~~
The applause pulled them out of their fantasy world. Shen Chao slowly entered, smiling as he said, "You've all worked hard these past few days."
Jiang Lei responded, "No, it's all thanks to Brother Chao's high regard for me."
Shen Chao adjusted his glasses and said, "I'm here today to inform you of something."
He paused here, his expression becoming slightly more serious: "Your test has come."
Chu Yi and the other four looked serious.
They sign contracts with the company not to become artists, but as a ticket to become artists.
After signing a contract with the company, undergoing systematic training and elimination rounds, and finally passing a test, one can become a contracted artist.
Are you confident?
"have."
"very good."
... ...
As the curtain of night slowly fell, Chu Yi and his four companions arrived at the assessment site, led by Shen Chao. Upon getting out of the car, the five were astonished.
Chu Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the large characters 'Kesman KTV' on the sign.
Jiang Lei asked, "What's going on, Brother Chao?"
"You'll see when you go in," Shen Chao said with a smile.
Then, led by Shen Chao, the group entered the KTV and went to a luxurious private room where a group of middle-aged men and women were sitting, with wine glasses and fruit plates on the table.
The group of middle-aged men and women looked up at Chu Yi and his group of five, as if they were appraising merchandise.
As the group entered the room, seeing that Shen Chao was about to close the door, Chu Yi blocked the doorway, his face serious: "Shen Chao, what do you mean by this?"
Having experienced being drugged in a bar, Chu Yi is extremely wary of nightclubs.
At this point, Shen Chao spoke the truth: "These are our company's clients. As long as you entertain them well, our company can sign a contract with you."
A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean-looking face walked up with a wine glass, smiling, and tried to pat Chu Yi on the shoulder, but Chu Yi turned away to avoid the man.
The man wasn't angry. He said, "Xiao Shen, how can you say that? We're not providing paid companionship; it's just socializing."
"Yes, it's a social engagement. I'm the clumsiest person, so I hope Mr. Ren will forgive me," Shen Chao said with a smile, patting his mouth slightly.
Looking at the scene before him, Chu Yi smiled and said to the Mediterranean man, "Mr. Ren, this glass of wine must be very expensive, right?"
"Not expensive, 98,000."
May I have a taste?
"certainly."
Chu Yi took the glass of wine, his face contorted with rage, and splashed it directly at President Ren's face: "Go to hell!"
After splashing the water, Chu Yi quickly walked out of the private room, and her four companions followed her.
The group in the private room were taken aback. President Ren's smile froze on his face, and he reeked of alcohol. He asked, "Chen Chao, you'd better give me an explanation today, or I guarantee you won't be able to stay at this company tomorrow."
Shen Chao was terrified. This President Ren was a major client of the company, and yet he had been splashed by that young girl.
Shen Chao bowed his head and apologized, then promised many benefits and found new hostesses at the KTV, finally calming President Ren's anger.
"Chu! Yi!" He gritted his teeth and uttered each word one by one.
... ...
Chu Yi and his group of five took a car back to school. The atmosphere was quite tense the whole way, and it only eased up a little when they got off the car.
Chu Yi looked at his four companions and said, "Sorry, I was too irritable just now."
Ruan Huixian shook her head: "Yiyi, you don't need to apologize. You did the right thing."
“Yes,” Jiang Lei agreed.
"I thought it was a windfall, but I ended up as a hostess," Dai Qingrou sighed.
Seeing that her companions did not blame her, Chu Yi felt relieved and said, "It seems that we are not destined to be with that company."
“Let it go with the wind,” Sun Yuze replied nonchalantly.
After experiencing what had just happened, the five chatted as they returned to their dormitory.
In the following days, Chu Yi and his four friends did not go to the agency. They spent their time attending classes and playing music, thinking that the matter was over and that they had given up on cooperating with the agency.
Little did anyone know that on this day, Shen Chao came to the school and found five people, demanding compensation from them.
The five men looked at each other: "Compensation?"
“Yes.” Shen Chao’s expression was cold. “My company has spent a lot of resources and money to train you. Because you did not follow the company’s requirements, you have to pay three times the compensation.”
Shen Chao produced the contract signed by both parties.
Chu Yi frowned: "The contract clearly states that the company requires compliance with national laws and regulations. Do you think it's in accordance with national laws and regulations for you to make us accompany that group of disgusting middle-aged people? Let me remind you, paid companionship is illegal."
Shen Chao smiled and said, "Did I ask you to provide paid companionship? It was just business entertainment."
Dai Qingrou said angrily from the side, "You're playing word games."
"I don't want to argue with you about right or wrong. I'm giving you three days to pay off the compensation..."
"Don't wait three days, give it to me now." Chu Yi interrupted Shen Chao directly.
Chu Yi is quite wealthy.
Chu Fang trusts his younger sister a lot now, so he is raising her in a 'lavish' way, giving Chu Yi a bank card with a balance of 30 million.
Chu Fang believed that Chu Yi could handle this huge sum of money properly. After receiving the money, Chu Yi never touched it and kept it in the bank.
So she can afford the small amount of compensation, which is three times the amount.
Chu Yi arrived at the bank and casually transferred the compensation money to Shen Chao. Then, as the group was about to leave, Shen Chao stopped them and said, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, your dreams of becoming singers are over. Our company will blacklist you in the industry."
When Shen Chao saw the surprised faces of the group, especially Chu Yi, whose brows were furrowed like an old lady, he felt a great sense of satisfaction.
"Finally, they got their revenge..."
Shen Chao left, laughing loudly.
Chu Yi's expression was extremely unpleasant.
Compensation is a minor matter; she doesn't care about the money. But being blacklisted is a major issue.
She and her four companions all harbor musical dreams and hope to continue down this path, but they are blacklisted by the industry. What can they do?
My dream was shattered.
Chu Yi didn't think Shen Chao was bluffing them. Banning someone wasn't difficult. Major music companies competed and cooperated, and they had blacklists that circulated among them. Once someone was on the blacklist, other music companies wouldn't hire a bunch of insignificant people.
"Forget it, Yiyi, we're just having fun with our band, there's no need for us to enter this industry," Dai Qingrou comforted her.
“Yes, we’re just casual gamers, playing our own games. What’s the big deal about being banned?” Jiang Lei said.
Sun Yuze: "We will not sign with the company."
... ...
At night, the bunk beds in the dormitory creaked and groaned.
Chu Yi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
One of my roommates, who also couldn't sleep, asked: "Yiyi, are you guys really blacklisted?"
"Um."
The roommate was furious: "It's outrageous, they're just bullying us students."
Ruan Huixian blinked: "Yiyi, what are you planning to do next?"
"have no idea."
Another roommate said, "Yiyi, your second brother isn't very capable. Ask him for help; he'll definitely be able to get justice for you."
"Yes, yes, your second brother owns a big company, so this little thing is a piece of cake for him."
Chu Yi covered himself with the blanket and remained silent.
She regretted it.
My temper ruined the dreams of several friends. If only I hadn't thrown that glass of wine...
But even if she doesn't spill the wine, she will still feel very uncomfortable.
And now it's even more painful.
Originally, she thought she could create her own success and let the Chu family know that she, Chu Yi, was not only good at being 'spirited', but also had an excellent side.
Now, not only has he failed, but he has also messed things up, ultimately leaving the blame to Chu Fang.
"What will Chu Lao Er think of me? Won't he ridicule me to death? Will I ever be able to hold my head high in front of Chu Lao Er again?"
