Chapter 163 The decision is given to him

“You’re right. I think the organizers of Future Star must have thought of these things long ago as well.”

"Even so, they still want to extend an olive branch to Luo Jia. I guess they might hope that by having Luo Jia, a popular outsider, join, they can spark discussion and increase the show's popularity."

Mei Jie agreed with Mr. Wang's analysis.

However, if that's really the case, Luo Jia will probably face a wave of criticism from the entire internet first.

After all, it was a child she had raised herself, and Sister Mei was still worried about whether Luo Jia could withstand the pressure of public opinion in the early stages.

After the initial pressure, the subsequent direction of public opinion will depend entirely on Luo Jia's own performance and the program team's operations.

When Mr. Wang saw that Sister Mei looked worried, he sighed softly.

He got up and walked to Sister Mei's side, patted her shoulder, and earnestly advised, "Sister Mei, we've been partners for many years, and Luo Jia is a good kid. You've been with him for so long, you should know him well."

“That kid is clever, and I believe he can do much more than that; he can go much further.”

"Our Jingting owes its success to Luo Jia. What we can do is help this child find the best resources."

It was rare to hear Mr. Wang speak so frankly and sincerely, and Sister Mei was actually touched.

Whether it's large or small companies or individual studios in the entertainment industry, Mr. Wang, who is wholeheartedly concerned for the artists, is undoubtedly an excellent boss.

That's why, when Jingting Entertainment was at its most difficult time, even facing bankruptcy, Sister Mei stepped forward and took on the newcomer, Luo Jia.

But Sister Mei treats Luo Jia like her own child, and she genuinely cares for him.

Especially after discovering Luo Jia's true identity and hearing about Luo Jia's experiences from Yu Jiu, Sister Mei felt even more affection for Luo Jiayin.

Because of this, she selfishly didn't want Luo Jiayin to suffer even the slightest harm or bear even the smallest risk.

"Mr. Wang..." Sister Mei hesitated before speaking.

Mei Jie hadn't told anyone that Luo Jia was a girl, not even President Wang knew.

“I know you’ve always wanted Luo Jia to win, but this time, we can’t gamble.”

"If Luo Jia's performance is not satisfactory, or if the program team of 'Future Stars' does not manage well, we will lose not only the popularity and reputation that Luo Jia has worked so hard to build."

"In that case, it's possible that Luo Jia's future and career will be ruined. If that happens, we'll be in real trouble."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang was immediately caught in a dilemma.

Indeed, it was a huge gamble to have Luo Jia take on an activity that was outside his area of ​​expertise.

Mr. Wang is, after all, a businessman, so he always believed that risk and opportunity go hand in hand.

But after listening to Sister Mei's words, President Wang did begin to worry about whether they and Luo Jia could afford the risk should they fail.

Although Sister Mei was trying to comfort President Wang in this way, she was also torn between her own feelings and her own conscience.

After all, if we disregard the risks, this is indeed a rare opportunity for Luo Jia.

"or……"

After a long pause, it was Sister Mei who spoke first.

"Let's not accept it yet, but let's not reject it outright either. Let's find a time to invite Luo Jia and Yu Jiu together to discuss it in person."

"Give the decision-making power to him, so that the child will have a clear understanding of what to do."

"Hmm... okay." President Wang nodded in agreement. "Then you should tell Luo Jia and the others to come to the company tomorrow if there's nothing else to do."

“Okay, Mr. Wang,” Sister Mei replied.

Having confirmed the "Future Star" project, Sister Mei and President Wang continued to bury themselves in the documents.

...

the next day.

Luo Jiayin and Yu Jiu had just finished breakfast when Sister Mei called them, asking them to come to the company.

Luo Jiayin informed Yu Jiu and then went upstairs to change her clothes.

A moment later, Luo Jiayin, dressed neatly, came downstairs and arrived at the Mirror Court with Yu Jiu.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw Sister Mei and President Wang sitting on the sofa. They seemed to have been waiting for a long time. As soon as they saw Luo Jiayin arrive, they immediately stood up.

"What? You didn't miss me, did you? Why are you reacting so strongly as soon as you see me?" Luo Jiayin said, amused.

"Stop joking around, Luo Jia. I have something important to discuss with you."

Sister Mei gave Luo Jia a reproachful look, and Luo Jia immediately stopped smiling, looking seriously at President Wang and Sister Mei, waiting for them to continue.

"You talk to him," Mr. Wang instructed Sister Mei, then returned to his desk and sat down.

There were still two mules of documents on the table that he hadn't looked at yet. He needed to finalize the schedules for Luo Jia and the other artists as soon as possible.

"Here's the thing, Luo Jia, our company has received an invitation from the latest edition of 'Future Star'. The organizers want to invite you to attend as a special guest judge."

"Isn't Future Star a music talent show? Why did they choose me?"

"Yes, the show 'Future Star' is pretty good overall. Being able to appear on it would definitely be beneficial for you, but..."

"It's just that I've never demonstrated my musical skills. I'm a complete novice in the music industry. As a judge, I'm far too unprofessional, aren't I?"

“Yes.” Sister Mei paused for a moment, then continued, “We think that perhaps the organizers are eyeing your current popularity and buzz, and want to use this to generate buzz for the show before it even airs. So, we think that if you participate in this show, it might attract a lot of criticism.”

"What Mr. Wang means is, it's up to you."

Luo Jiayin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Go, why wouldn't I go?"

"Think it over carefully." Sister Mei saw that Luo Jiayin agreed immediately and was afraid that she would agree without thinking and without considering the consequences.

"I've made up my mind, of course I'm going!" Luo Jiayin said with a smile.

"Are you really going?" Sister Mei frowned, somewhat worried. "But you know, the 'Future Star' program has a high level of professionalism, and... we're afraid that having an outsider like you comment on professional contestants..."

"Sister Mei, I want to give it a try."

Luo Jiayin raised her eyes and looked directly at Sister Mei, her clear eyes filled with a hint of determination.
