Chapter 4 Chapter 4

Thanks to Cheng Xin, Gu Xing Shi had to explain for another half hour.

The scene was a complete mess.

Fortunately, Meng Yuan Sheng didn't misunderstand, thinking Cheng Xin was being dryly humorous.

Gu Xing Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead and reintroduced the two of them.

After shaking hands, Meng Yuan Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Did you choose this song?"

Cheng Xin shook his head and looked at Gu Xing Shi.

Gu Xing Shi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Had he discovered that they didn't have money and could only choose this obscure song because they couldn't afford a popular one?

Meng Yuan Sheng: "I'm just curious, why did you choose such an obscure song?"

Gu Xing Shi: "..."

Of course, it's because they couldn't afford a popular song!

But if he knew how poor they were, wouldn't he turn around and run?

Gu Xing Shi could only brazenly blurt out, "I mainly think this song fits Xin's temperament very well!"

Meng Yuan Sheng, thinking of the sexiness and charm Cheng Xin had displayed in the dance, secretly nodded.

Discovering and mining an artist's characteristics and planning their career path based on those characteristics is a skill possessed by an excellent artist manager.

Thinking of this excellent manager who had traveled a long distance to Ning City to sign him, and even painstakingly exposed the scumbag Jiang Mo.

Meng Yuan Sheng, who had never been valued like this before, was almost moved to tears.

"A loyal servant will die for his lord," probably described his current mood.

Gu Xing Shi, who was standing beside him, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't ask any further questions.

Phew!

Almost lost him!

Thinking of this, Gu Xing Shi felt a sense of urgency.

It's more important to quickly secure the person and then go register.

So he led Meng Yuan Sheng and Cheng Xin to the office and took out a contract.

Meng Yuan Sheng read it carefully and was surprised to find that the terms of the contract were unexpectedly lenient.

It was more like a partnership than a contract for a trainee.

While he was reviewing the contract, Gu Xing Shi was also nervous on the other side.

This was the only contract template in the company's computer that didn't require paying a salary.

Supporting Cheng Xin was already difficult enough, he simply didn't have the money to pay a second person a salary.

Meng Yuan Sheng finally finished reading the contract.

He looked it over several times and couldn't find any hidden pitfalls. He had to admit that this was a very sincere contract, so sincere that he felt unworthy of it.

He asked solemnly, "What do I need to do to sign this contract?"

Gu Xing Shi's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out the application form for "Boy Band Training Camp" that he had prepared earlier: "You just need to register with Xin."

Meng Yuan Sheng took it with some confusion, then his eyes widened instantly.

Boy Band Training Camp Season 2?!!!!

This was the hottest idol survival show right now!

Last year's first season sparked widespread discussion, and even those who didn't debut could get some exposure in front of the audience. It was arguably one of the best ways for amateurs to enter the entertainment industry.

Jin You's trainees were practically fighting each other for this spot.

Moreover, trainees who get this spot also have to sign a harsh contract with the company.

But he, upon entering the company, could have such an opportunity, and the contract was so lenient.

Who would believe this if you told them!!

Meng Yuan Sheng was even more moved, but at this moment, he suddenly realized, "Wait, isn't it too late to register now?"

As far as he knew, for idol survival shows like this, involving the competition and exchange of interests between different companies, the next season usually starts preparation right after the last season ends. The list of successful candidates is probably already set.

Gu Xing Shi couldn't possibly not know this common sense.

However, Gu Xing Shi simply said calmly, "Late? No, it's just right."

Meng Yuan Sheng was stunned.

Did Gu Xing Shi mean to slip them in at the last minute?

But what kind of profound background would allow for that!

However, although Le Shi was not doing so well now, it was once a giant in the industry. As the saying goes, "A lean camel is bigger than a horse," so it's not surprising that Gu Xing Shi has such connections and resources.

Meng Yuan Sheng thought that Gu Xing Shi even knew that he had provided creative ideas to Jiang Mo, a company secret, further confirming that Le Shi was an unfathomable company!

He had been worried that Jiang Mo had extensive connections in the industry and that signing with Gu Xing Shi would cause him trouble, but now he was completely relieved.

And such a powerful person taking the initiative to sign him, doesn't that mean he's not bad either?

Meng Yuan Sheng thought, and the light in his eyes gradually brightened.

For so many years, Meng Yuan Sheng had been constantly emotionally abused by Jiang Mo, and he was very self-deprecating.

Even his beautiful appearance had lost four or five points due to his timid attitude.

And now, he was like a gem that had been dusted off, slowly revealing its true brilliance.

-

Gu Xing Shi held two application forms, looking up at the towering building in front of him.

The headquarters of Sweet Orange Video, the producer of "Boy Band Training Camp," was in this building.

This building is called Tiancheng Building, belonging to Wen's Group, which includes Sweet Orange Video, Star Glory Media, Tianji Games, etc.

When the receptionist heard that Gu Xing Shi was here to apply for "Boy Band Training Camp," she immediately looked at him with strange eyes.

Everyone knows that the registration for "Boy Band Training Camp" has long been closed, and some entertainment companies have already started preparing marketing campaigns.

The registration time on the official website is just a publicity stunt.

She was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered that the leader mentioned in a recent meeting that relevant departments were cracking down on fake idol survival shows, emphasizing repeatedly that they must be cautious and not be caught with evidence.

Moreover, the registration for idol survival shows is already considered an "unspoken rule" in the industry, yet the other party deliberately said this, this is a bit too obvious.

The receptionist immediately contacted the staff of Sweet Orange Video, and then said to Gu Xing Shi with a very sweet voice: "Please wait a moment."

Gu Xing Shi didn't mind, just sat on the sofa waiting.

At this time, the system suddenly popped up: 【Host! Want to hear some gossip!】

Gu Xing Shi immediately became interested: 【Yes, yes, yes!】

System: 【Do you know the Wen family?】

Gu Xing Shi shook his head.

The system gave him a brief introduction.

The Wen family is a prominent family in Beijing. Years ago, due to power struggles within the family, it had fallen into decline, but under the current head of the family, Wen Yue, it has returned to its peak.

Wen Yue is handsome and powerful, and is almost voted the most desirable man in Beijing every year.

System: 【Yesterday, Wen Yue came here for an inspection, and a little star from Star Glory Media tried to seduce him. Unexpectedly, he was not at all tender and loving, and directly had his bodyguards arrest her, and also found evidence that the little star secretly sent people to take photos, trying to create a scandal.】

【That little star is a rising star heavily promoted by Star Glory Media, and her popularity is very high recently. It was thought that even if it was discovered, considering her value, nothing would happen. Who knew that Wen Yue directly had her frozen!】

Gu Xing Shi: 【Wow! So ruthless!】

System: 【There's even more ruthless...】

Gu Xing Shi was about to continue listening when a staff member came over and respectfully said, "Mr. Gu, I'm Xiao Li from Sweet Orange Video, you've been waiting for a long time."

Gu Xing Shi could only regretfully put down the half-heard gossip and followed him to the meeting room upstairs.

Xiao Li poured him water and apologized, "Please wait a moment, I'll go get our supervisor."

Gu Xing Shi was a little puzzled.

He just wanted to register, an ordinary staff member should be enough, why did he need a supervisor-level person?

But after Xiao Li finished speaking, he hurried out.

Gu Xing Shi didn't think much of it, remembering the system's half-finished gossip, quickly asked it to continue.

System: 【The most ruthless thing is that not only did the little star's career end, but everyone involved with Star Glory Media and Sweet Orange Video also suffered...】

Gu Xing Shi: 【So miserable...】

System: 【By the way, there's one more thing. Didn't the little star pull on Wen Yue yesterday? As a result, she accidentally pulled off one of Wen Yue's cufflinks. It was jade, fifty thousand a pair!】

Gu Xing Shi stood up abruptly: 【Where did it fall?! ...cough, I mean, actually, jade or not is not important, the main thing is to lighten the burden for the cleaning lady!】

System: 【...】

Gu Xing Shi opened the door to the meeting room, only to find that the corridor was quiet, and Xiao Li, who was supposed to go get someone, was nowhere to be seen. He immediately slipped out.

With the system's friendly reminder, he quickly found the cufflink behind a pot of plants.

Bright green and clear, without a trace of impurities.

Even though Gu Xing Shi didn't know much about jade, he could feel the value of this cufflink.

If it were sold, it could at least support the company's expenses for half a year...

Just as Gu Xing Shi was fantasizing, someone suddenly called him from behind.

"Mr. Gu?"

Gu Xing Shi was startled.

Turning around, he found Xiao Li leading a middle-aged man, both looking at him in confusion.

Gu Xing Shi quickly stuffed the cufflink into his pocket.

The middle-aged man didn't notice anything wrong with him and introduced himself as Sun Hongfei, the supervisor of Sweet Orange Video, one of the people in charge of "Boy Band Training Camp."

His attitude was extremely enthusiastic, making Gu Xing Shi feel a little embarrassed.

After only a little probing, Sun Hongfei realized something was wrong: "You're not here for an undercover investigation?"

Gu Xing Shi looked puzzled: "What undercover investigation? I'm here to register."

As he said this, he took out two application forms and documents.

Sun Hongfei took a look and almost died of anger.

Which irresponsible small company did this, making him rush all the way at high speed, only to find out it was a false alarm?!

He was furious and immediately wanted to ask Gu Xing Shi to leave.

But at that moment, something "rolled" out of Gu Xing Shi's pocket.

Both their eyes fell on the small object on the ground.

Sun Hongfei's eyes went wide.

He recognized this jade cufflink!!

The water, the color, and the exquisite design, that's right! This is the one Mr. Wen was wearing yesterday!

But, how did Mr. Wen's cufflink end up in someone else's hands?

He looked at Gu Xing Shi in shock and suspicion: "This is..."

Gu Xing Shi was also annoyed, how did it accidentally fall out!

Since it's been seen, it certainly can't be sold, he could only painfully hand the cufflink over: "This... is your Mr. Wen's cufflink, take it back to him!"

Sun Hongfei was even more shocked.

It really was Mr. Wen's cufflink!!

You know, Mr. Wen is ruthless and decisive, and doesn't like to touch people. Yesterday's little star's outcome is still vivid in his mind, now he actually gave his cufflink to someone else.

Could it be...!

He thought again, Mr. Wen has been abstinent for so many years, is it because the person he likes is actually a boy?!!!!

Sun Hongfei secretly looked at Gu Xing Shi.

Clean-cut and cute, with his teeth biting his lip, he seems unhappy.

With an air of innocence and naiveté, obviously well-protected and hasn't experienced any setbacks, a young master.

He suddenly realized.

What registration!! This is an excuse!

It's clearly that he knew about the little star throwing herself at Mr. Wen yesterday and is here to declare sovereignty!
