Chapter 153 The entertainment industry is really complicated

Just when Xia Linxing was filled with worry, the notification sound of his cell phone rang, temporarily diverting Xia Linxing's attention.

Xia Linxing reached for his phone and opened it.

The message was sent from a group created by the trainees of "Star Journey".

Maybe the competition is over, the group is particularly lively now.

"Hey hey hey, have you seen the trending searches?! Teacher Xie's studio officially announced the signing of Shen Sibai! It's now number one on the trending searches!"

"Of course I did! Chen Sibai is so amazing! He was actually signed by Teacher Xie's studio!"

"Since Teacher Xie's personal studio was established, this seems to be the first time it has been promoted so vigorously. Chen Sibai is so lucky!"

"It must be because the show just ended. The official announcement at this time is perfect for both parties to take advantage of each other's traffic..."

"Hahaha, our trainees are doing well now. We can use Teacher Xie to gain some traffic..."

"Wow, I'm so envious! I also want to be signed by Teacher Xie!"

"Just save your energy, hahaha... Chen Sibai is a solo trainee, he can sign with any agency he wants. If you want to sign Teacher Xie, you have to terminate the contract with your agency and pay the penalty first~~"

"But it's not surprising that Chen Sibai was signed by Teacher Xie. He was able to debut as a group from a solo trainee... He's really amazing..."

"Hiss, now that I put it that way, I don't know for a moment whether it was Shen Sibai who got the advantage or Teacher Xie who got the advantage..."

"I don't care! The reason I wasn't signed by Teacher Xie must be because I'm not an individual trainee!"

"That's right! I wasn't signed by Teacher Xie either. It must be because I'm not an individual trainee!"

The trainees all followed this message and lined up to copy and paste.

Xia Linxing smiled as he looked at the rows of "So I wasn't signed by Teacher Xie, it must be because I'm not an individual trainee!" popping up. When he was about to copy one, someone suddenly broke the formation.

"Speaking of individual trainees, don't we have one here? @夏临星"

"@Xia Linxing, has Teacher Xie contacted you and said he wants to sign you?"

As soon as these two pieces of news came out, the screens that were flooded with messages suddenly froze.

However, Cheng Xuezhou, who sent these two messages, was obviously unaware of his suddenness. Messages continued to pop out one after another: "After all, Xia Linxing is also an individual trainee who made it to the finals..."

"Although compared to Shen Sibai... I'm a little behind, but Xia Linxing, you started as a complete novice and made it to the finals..."

"And we trainees who have trained like this for several years were eliminated early, so Xia Linxing, you are also very good~"

"How is it? Did Teacher Xie contact you?"

"During the fourth public performance, Xia Linxing and Teacher Xie worked so well together that I thought Teacher Xie would sign Xia Linxing first... I didn't expect that Shen Sibai would get there first..."

"Chen Sibai really did something great without making any noise!"

"Speaking of which, @Xia Linxing, aren't you and Shen Sibai very close? I remember that the two of you were very popular as a couple... Did Shen Sibai tell you in advance about signing with Teacher Xie's studio? Do you have any inside information to share with us? When did Teacher Xie contact Shen Sibai? How did you talk to Shen Sibai?"

"Chen Sibai is really something. He kept the news so secretive that we didn't know anything about it until we saw the trending search. But Xia Linxing, you and Shen Sibai have such a good relationship. Shen Sibai should have revealed it to you, right?"

When Cheng Xuezhou's messages finally stopped, no one else in the group was talking anymore, and the dialog box that had popped up remained motionless.

The other trainees behind the screen were simply amazing.

Was Cheng Xuezhou... provoked by something? Was there some deep hatred between him and Xia Linxing?

How come he became so sarcastic in such a large group with everyone present?

Oh, although his words seemed... quite normal, the trainees present were not fools. They could see at a glance that Cheng Xuezhou was envious on the surface, but was actually trying to sow discord between Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai.

For a moment, they couldn't tell whether Cheng Xuezhou was jealous of Shen Sibai being signed by Xie Tinglan, or gloating over Xia Linxing being tricked by Shen Sibai.

The entertainment industry is really complicated!

Just when the other trainees were waiting to see how Xia Linxing would respond, another person came out first.

"@Cheng Xuezhou, are you asking about Xia Linxing?"

"I heard from other staff members at the studio that Teacher Xie went to talk to Xingxing about signing a contract today. I don't know if Teacher Xie and Xingxing have reached an agreement yet..."

"Looking at Xingxing, she hasn't replied to my message yet. She must be still in the relationship..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group immediately became active again, and everyone started to post "!!!" in unison to express their shock.

Only Cheng Xuezhou was "different": "Is this true?"

"Chen Sibai, you didn't make this up just to help Xia Linxing save face, did you?"

"Teacher Xie is looking for someone to sign a contract, so why would he go there alone? I know you have a good relationship with Xia Linxing, but it's not like we haven't signed contracts before. Didn't we all go to the company to sign contracts?"

Cheng Xuezhou's words... made sense. The other trainees who were still marveling at Xie Tinglan's intention to sign Xia Linxing all spoke up, supporting Cheng Xuezhou's point of view:

"That's true... The company called and asked me to go over to sign the contract."

"Speaking of which, if Teacher Xie went to find Xia Linxing to sign a contract, where would Teacher Xie go to find Xia Linxing? Xia Linxing doesn't have an agency or his own studio, so Teacher Xie wouldn't be able to find him, right?"

"Maybe they made a phone call and then went to a coffee shop or something like that to sign the contract?"

"Ah? Do you believe that? Teacher Xie is so popular. Even when he went to the hospital, he was still recognized even though he was wrapped up tightly. If he goes out to discuss a contract, he'll probably be recognized immediately and photographed and posted online, right? There's no way he's safe in his own studio."

"That's true, Chen Sibai, you and Xia Linxing really have a good relationship... You even lied to help Xia Linxing save face..."

"Chen Sibai is not wrong..."

Xia Linxing couldn't sit still anymore as he watched the messages accusing Shen Sibai of speaking up for him come out.

He opened the door and ran to the stairs. Then he took a photo with his mobile phone of Xie Tinglan sitting in the living room and chatting with Su Mingyu. After cutting out Su Mingyu's figure from the photo, he sent it to the group.

"Teacher Xie is indeed at my house, discussing something with my family..."

As soon as the photo was released, the group seemed to be paused and became quiet in an instant.

After a moment, someone uttered a trembling "!" to express their shock.

"Teacher Xie... actually went to Xia Linxing's house to discuss the contract with her family?"

"Holy crap, this decor... turns out to be Xia Linxing's home! It's a mansion!"

"Ah, Teacher Xie is really here!"

Oh my God, how much do they value Xia Linxing!

Cheng Xuezhou was so sarcastic before, and even tried to sow discord...tsk tsk... The trainees all turned their eyes to Cheng Xuezhou, who had been active in the group before, waiting to see his reaction after learning the truth.

But the trainees will be disappointed.

Because after Xia Linxing sent the photo, Cheng Xuezhou suddenly disappeared from the group.

The trainees, who no longer had the excitement to watch, curled their lips and turned to ask Xia Linxing how the conversation between Teacher Xie and his family went.

But Xia Linxing, like Cheng Xuezhou, suddenly disappeared from the group.

Because he was stopped by Xie Tinglan.

"Star?"

Xie Tinglan happened to look up and saw Xia Linxing standing at the stairs, looking at his phone after sending a message. He waved at him and called him down: "You're just in time. Auntie and I are discussing going to my studio. Xingxing, do you want to come?"

Su Mingyu also looked over with a smile, "Ting Lan said that you are very suitable for the entertainment industry, and asked if you would like to sign a contract with his studio..."

Going to Xie Tinglan's studio? Could it be that Xie Tinglan really planned to sign him?!

Xia Linxing was shocked.

When he posted the photo in the group, Shen Sibai, who just didn't want to speak for him, was attacked by other trainees, so he sent a photo of Xie Tinglan at his house, pretending that Xie Tinglan was really there to discuss the contract as Shen Sibai said.

Anyway, you can't hear any sound in the photo, so having Xie Tinglan here is enough, and the rest depends on how other trainees imagine it.

He just said, "Teacher Xie is indeed at my house and is talking to my family...", but he didn't say that what Xie Tinglan discussed with his family was about signing a contract.

After all, photos can't hear any sound.

As for what happened afterwards...even if someone asked, Xia Linxing could say that he did not sign with Xie Tinglan's studio because Xie Tinglan and his family failed to reach an agreement.

The perfect excuse was there, but Xia Linxing didn't expect... Was Xie Tinglan serious?

You should know that in the original novel, "Xia Linxing" was pestering Xie Tinglan, looking for external assistance from the Xie family, and begging the Xia family, just wanting to enter Xie Tinglan's studio like Shen Sibai and become an artist under Xie Tinglan's name.

But in the original novel, even with the Xie family's help, Xie Tinglan never gave in.

This is also the reason why after leaving the show (before the true and false young master was exposed), even though "Xia Linxing" and Shen Sibai had no intersection at all, "Xia Linxing" was still so hostile to Shen Sibai.

But now... Xie Tinglan in front of him was obviously very excited.

The reason...Xia Linxing also knew it.

So, he opened his mouth and was about to refuse, but Xie Tinglan seemed to know what Xia Linxing was thinking and interrupted him before Xia Linxing could.

"Xingxing, let's go and see it together..."

"After seeing and understanding the artist's real working conditions, Xingxing can make a decision, okay?"

Since Xie Tinglan said so, Xia Linxing swallowed the words of refusal on his lips and nodded obediently under Su Mingyu's gaze.

"good……"
